You listed eight fundamental human rights. But in essence, I think some of these rights don't play with what Islam had to offer when it came on the table. Looking at the three rights listed below, how did they factor into Islam when slavery was rampant? 5. Individual's Right to Freedom 7. Equality of Human Beings 8. The Right to Co-operate and Not to Co-operate If an individual has a right to be free, and this in itself is a divine right, why wasn't slavery abolished as soon as Islam was introduced? How can two men be equal if one is a slave? What would happen to a slave if he chose not to co-operate?

Tuckar: I agree....but also believe that it goes both ways. Muunad: EVER! hard to believe but thanks. Appreciate the input guys.

Aaaahhhhh...a little too full from all the lies I was gobbling up. All ya'll need deliverance. HOLY Mother of God....what are these people talking about? The utter disregard for the most high....UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I mean what is this world coming to when we have individuals like JB with architects in hand ready to build their castle in hell! Don't worry my ni99a, I heard hell is a fu#k fest anyway. Seriously, a total riot. A nut like you would fit in perfect. I even heard that all the legends of past time just kick it there....no law, no death....imagine being an outlaw for eternity! uuuuhhhh the mere thought of it makes me want to orgasm. Back to the topic at hand. Since we just came into being when our parents decided to please eachother out one sorry night, not a choice of our own by the way, isn't it only ideal that we will cease to be one day without having to deal with an afterlife or punishment for our current life? If God is real, he/she will not punish me for the living I did. I don't know about you but I am currently waiting for the postman to bring me the set of keys that will grant me entry into heaven. I hope hell is as pretty as they make it sound JB....burn my ni99a burn....and by the way JB, if the lord asks you if we have ever been affiliated in any way whatsoever, don't you dare even think about ratting me out or I will make hell stand up to its true definition. Am out.

Dope...truly dope.

I like it....but I believe there will always be division among men. May it be class, race, tribe...whatever it may be, some men need to feel superior.

My Love Lady love My sweetest joy Your simple hugs Makes me coy Lovely lady Heaven sent My love for you Is definite Your smile it is That makes me blush Your touch itself Gives me up I stutter for words But in turn Your lovely self Makes me yearn Under starry nights I pray for you As comets burn To God I turn Send me my goddess I pray to you Give her this heart You solely built

You know what, nevermind. I was a little too hasty with my reply. I should start looking into the responses before delving into the forum. So, all in all, what you guys are saying is that religion is a gamble. Ain't that about a godamn b!tch!

I am kinda new to this site so my apologies. I meant to quote some of what you had said but it didn't work the way I had planned. Anyway, You mentioned the fact that the advancement in technology and the loss of faith are kinda related. I believe that most atheists or agnostics are educated individuals who find in themselves enough courage to question what they were able to gain from their younger years. I don't believe technology has anything to do with it at all. I believe that technology is just used as a fantasy tool by some and they end up doing or wanting to do what they see in videos. Finally, you ended you forum with a beautiful question....."How could one definitely conclude to the non-existence of God without any logical proof?" But if you think about it, what logical proof is there of the existence of God?

Originally posted by Djib-Somali: It goes without saying that the cultural shock caused by the West's "modernity", particularly it's advanced technology concomitant with high living standards, contrasted by the "primitiveness" of our society has led many to the path of doubt. Besides these acknowledged legacies, one may wonder to which extent technology and material welfare alone could be associated with "success". Having said that, why is atheism inherently incoherent? In other words,how could one definitely conclude to the non-existence of God without any logical proof?

Resurrection Love... Love was poisoned Sad... Sad but it’s true Caught in between Hate, security, passion, and wealth Its feelings are blue It was given a choice If I remember correctly Love knows not how to choose As war raged Its death was due I had to get away Couldn’t bear the pain For if I witnessed its death I would go insane And now in my heart I know love isn’t dead Coz the beauty in the sunset Is as true today
