@Epikur why do you hate Islam so much?

@How to be wise it served good function in stage blue society.

Why is that the criteria?

What is the percentage of what we choose to what's chosen for us?

It's religious nonsense? I don't think so. It is indeed a fantasy. In the present moment you wouldn't call your experience heavenly or hellish.. It's somewhere in the middle. Life has all kinds of opposites that compliment each other. One of them couldn't exist without the other. Up and down.. Good and bad.. Light and darkness.. Happiness and misery.. Pleasure and pain etc. The same creative power that created the beautiful stars and rainbows.. The sunset.. The birds the trees and the breeze.. The nature the sea.. This same creative Powe is able to create an infinitely beautiful reality that feels like an endless orgasm.. Yes it is. This same creative power that creeated the starving stomach ..the cancer.. The plague..the pain of being burned or bleeding to death.. The pain of being eaten alive.. Who made all this horrible stuff? The same creative power. The same creative power is able to create an infinitely painful reality that feels like being burned forever.. Hell. Nothing could prevent reality from manifesting hell or heaven .. And since the source is not separate.. You could manifest it. If you are not careful you might very well create hell.. If you follow the inner compass you are heading towards heaven. Metaphorical or not.. Happiness was Never a metaphor.. And pain was never and can never be an illusion. Because illusions do not exist. I laugh my ass off whenever I hear a faint of an argument about reality being illusory.. Here it is dummy.. If you have eyes to look.. Look. If you have ears to hear.. Hear. What else matters but happiness?? If you have tasted the beauty that this creative power is able to create.. . And you have tasted the pain that it is able to create as well.... You gotta figure out your way to heaven. Everyone is different. Your heaven is not my heaven.. Since its fantasy but it's real!. The only purpose of life if any is to actualize YOUR heaven.

What I'm saying is that life can get heavenly or hellish depending on how you choose to live it

In one word or one sentence.. What's the root of all evil?

@Epikur lol

Yes exactly.

Aren't you and God one?

But why?

It can be proplem. The constant need to take care of the body. To eat, shit, and piss and shower. Is carrying a body a burden or a bliss? The soul is identified with an imaginary temporary physical avatar.. For a while. Not for long time but for a while. The more I recognize my true nature and then compare it to the body.. The more I see the body as a burden. A burden that I have to carry on for my whole life. Babysitting this body. Task after task. Feed me. Please Me. Rest me. Move me. Clean me. Over and over again. A chore after a chore. Until I fall dead after reaching the limit of exhaustion. A house of diseases. A house of desires. The never-ending desire that doesn't amount to anything other than the multiplication of itself and the expansion of disappointment. A house of needs. A house of lacking and constant aiming. The mind can be at ease. The soul can just be content in the now. The body has to perform effort and chase after it's "needs". There seems to be a conflict between the body and the soul. The nature of limitation VS unlimitedness. What is your relationship with your body?

No. It drains you physically as well.

Thanks for the advice.

@roopepa different strokes for different folks. To each his own. And good luck with whatever lifestyle that makes you happy.

Enjoy destroying your health.

@Gregory1 do you watch porn?

@Gregory1 try nofap you will feel a lot better. It has enormous benefits.

I guess nuns dress the same way in Christianity. Islam does reject homosexuality though.

How so?

If you do it daily it's gonna fuck you up big time.

Care to elaborate.

But there are clear passages in the Quran that commands to kill the nonbelievers.. What to make of those?

@Preety_India aside from Muslims... What's your opinion about Islam itself.. Like the belief system, the rituals etc? You have a point.

@vizual But the terrorists and the extremests rely on the Quran to justify their behavior.
