You don't believe in god.

[flobadob]

I mean if you sit back and actually think about it, surely you don't really believe in god. Sit back now, think about god. Think. Think a little more about him. Now tell me, do you actually think he is there? Honestly.

I know nothing of the Koran, but I have been told that the promise to martyrs of 72 virgins is based on a mistranslation, whereby the Arabic word rendered as "virgins" actually means "figs". Imagine what a let-down that will be!

[Cowtipper]

What the nuts don't realize is that those 72 virgins are going to stay virgins for eternity.

Nope, she's out shopping.
But no, seriously, I do not believe in a mythical deity, esp if designated a gender.

[mike11111]

Even if not, there is no indication as to whether those virgins are male or female!

[Mosaic]

Hey Mike, once your dead you don't give a fig....hahahaha mistrnaslation solved, it's god's little joke.

[mike11111]

Hopefully our resident ayatollah will make all clear.

Is that 72 virgins thing not a recent thing used by radical clerics to recruit poor uneducated young men into al qaeda? I think so.

Haven't read through the posts, but regards the question: It's one of the crassest, most obtuse, patronising ones I've ever read. Did you honestly believe, flob, that through thousands of years, no-one has ever done this? Did you think that you had had a unique revelation? Thousands of books, millions of discussions and billions of people have dwelt on the subject of theology, yet no-one ever thought to 'actually think about it'.

[flobadob]

Yes Arti, that was my assertion.

[Arti]

Oh, ok, just checking :)

[flobadob]

No problem, it pays to be sure.
