I think it ought to be made clear that being a homosexual, as in, having sexual feelings for a member of the same sex, is not in of itself a punishable offense in the Shariah. Zina, or sex outside of marriage

Did you read the article I linked? It essentially talks about the circumstances under which the hudud punishments were applicable in Islamic law, and shows how it was incredibly difficult for any of them

I've never been under any illusions regarding the benefits of working out (as well as the benefits of doing things in the morning), but my issue is consistency. How can you keep yourself working out early,

I'm an American living in the UK. Do I count?

There are two kinds of people in this world...

We're not that bad, dude. Sit down with a Muslim (in real life) and talk to them and you'll soon realize that in fact, we don't want to kill all of you. Most of us just want to live a good life with our

On the other hand, if you have any cryptocurrency (Steem, Bitcoin, Ether), the rising price inevitably means you will get an interest on your original investment whether you want it or not. I think there's

Oh great, that makes it simple! When would interest payments get made? Is it on a monthly basis? Or do you have to be pretty vigilant to transfer your funds into steem power asap?

What part of the Bible makes you disagree with that idea?

Ooops, I confused the words! Meant to say omniscience, not omnipotence. I'd generally agree with what you had to say in your post, but I've always thought that for God to be all-powerful, he must exist
