[QUOTE="m25105"] She won't. It's called confidence that I'm secure enough to know that my wife, won't ever have a reason to cheat on me. Also there's something called forgiveness. m25105

Most married couples get divorced, how many of them do you think thought that they would have been together till death do them part? (HINT: The majority of them)

The odds are against you

Most married couples in the west. The world doesn't revolve around western culture.

What toast said is true in the West. But in the middle east...there are...implications.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Ilovegames1992"]

Thats the problem with religion in a nutshell.

At the end of the day, its down to one person or an elite group's discretion. In a perfect world, people would follow the peaceful sentiments, but to be honest, the Pope tells Catholics to bomb abortion clinics, they would.

One person has more power than the basis of the religion.

Ilovegames1992

The pope doesn't....and I don't think that's true of today. Otherwise people wouldn't be doing what the church says they shouldn't. If you can't follow the teaching on waiting until marriage for sex then I don't think something so major as murder can be orchestrated.

I used the Pope as a blanket term for religious leaders.

I honestly think they weild so much power and its all up to their discretion.

In the past I'd have agreed with you. But today he's a figure head and speaks of church doctrine. In the end...individuals decide for themselves what they will and won't do.

You're right, other cultures just flog and kill their wives instead. :roll:

Like in India? Where the divorce rate is about 1%? Or Singapore where it's 10%? Or Greece where it's 15% Or Turkey where it's 6%? You seem to live in a world of thought, that because your culture and country is a certain way, every other country and culture must be wrong.

Whats the first thing it says in the Quran?

"This is a complete book. We didn't leave anything out, we didn't forget anything."

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand Hadith = bs added afterwards

Everything else, dress code, how to pray etc, we can figure these things out for ourselves based on the spirit of the law and common sense.

[QUOTE="ColdExistence"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]I'm not terrible at debating. Those that say that are those that haven't got two brain cells to rub together. That idea started from a couple butt hurt individuals that couldn't debate without their argument getting shredded. And to save one's pride it's easy to make ill informed posts and then assume the person providing a counterpoint is not able to do so. I guess your e-peen is at stake her.What was implied was that Jesus knew not everyone would accept him and it would divide families. Period. If you cannot read the entire scripture.....and only half ass what it says to suit your agenda then you are, in fact, ignorant of the message stated. He does mention division of families right after your text. But if you don't quote mine the Bible then you might not be able to present something.As for evil bible.....yay let's all go to a biased source that quote mines and lifts things out of context to brainwash people....somewhat like you seem to be and now I know why you don't understand the bible.LJS9502_basic
Oh, I'm the brainwashed one. That's rich!

What do you think the goal of evilbible is? And you bought it. Hook, line, and sinker. Brainwashed indeed.

I gave you the link so you can see the quotes. I don't care about the personal opinions displayed on that site. There are websites all over the place that post Bible quotes, but they usually don't have a "horrible Bible quotes" section. I come to my own conclusions. Not because of some stupid Atheist documentary or an Atheist speaker like Richard Dawkins. Is that really hard to believe?

Did you know a few years ago archaeologists may have found a missing page of the Bible? It's believed to have been the first page of the book and it reads:

"To my darling Candy. All characters portayed within this book are purely fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental"

Those countries have low divorce rates due to legal reasons, not social.

One thing about those examples is they are rather unforgiving....and divorce isn't done because of that reason. Not because the people wouldn't want out of a marriage but because they accept their status.

The divorce rates used to be quite low in the west too. Even without the threat of flogging or stoning.

By the way since you're an expert on the laws of marriage in Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy and Israel, please offer us some insight, why it's so hard to divorce there.

I'm not at all a moron but I can see where it's comforting for you to think so. Look you chose the link to speak for you. It was not a good idea. When I'm trying to find a link to provide backing for my ideas at least I have the good sense to look for one that doesn't show an innate bias. IE I won't use a religious site as proof in a thread about religion. You don't have the good sense to do the same. Which means you didn't score so well in this exchange. Now if you want to continue to insult my intelligence.....and your argument didn't hold up to scrutiny.....that makes you lower than whatever adjective you want to use for me. Which says more against you than me.;)

Stoning or flogging?

RationalAtheist

LOL

Islam is bad blah blahparatheos

Putting aside the fact that you got this from Urban Dictionary, you went on to tar everyone with the same brush. This is the only time I will EVER pay attention to you. Ever.

Oh, and TC, it does concern me that you avoided the main issue people have (which was highlighted in RA's post, the one I quoted); it's just not acceptable to punish adultery with violence or numerous other crimes with violence. This also has nothing to do with the fact that you're muslim either. Just failing to address the issue, s'all.

At the end of the day, its down to one person or an elite group's discretion. In a perfect world, people would follow the peaceful sentiments, but to be honest, the Pope tells Catholics to bomb abortion clinics, they would.

One person has more power than the basis of the religion.

Ilovegames1992

Agreed.

In addition, the brainwashing that typically leads to bad acts isn't done by the book but by other people. A lot of wars in history were over resources and religion played a small part in it. I don't think it's really the issue. If religion was gone, there would be fewer wars... in the short term. As the absence of religion brings forth the absence of both religious fundamentalists and militant atheists, humanity would be much more bearable.

I still have my own issues with Islam.

According to the encyclopedia of war....religion accounts for 7% of wars in the entirety of history. I doubt the occurrence would be much less as you surmise.

I am not to talk, but listening to the Quran is really something amazing. I feel sad for anyone who does not know Arabic, because listening to the Quran has just a very beautiful feeling. I cannot explain this. I am not a very good Muslim to begin with, but a very bad one. That said aside, I just want to say that listening to the Quran really is amazing.

Most people read the Quran like they read the Bible. I as an Arab, is fascinated by those who can read the Quran beautifully and when I listen to them it shakes me to the core. People cry when listening to it, and some have memorized the entire book.

The pre Islamic Arabs called it Magic. It is not music, not poetry, its something else. I can help it but feel amazed and facinated by the feeling it brings to my heart.

Don't forget that in Islam, women aren't allowed to divorce their husbands. Only the husband can divorce his wife.

And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or evasion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them - and settlement is best. And present in [human] souls is stinginess. But if you do good and fear Allah - then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.

Putting aside the fact that you got this from Urban Dictionary, you went on to tar everyone with the same brush. This is the only time I will EVER pay attention to you. Ever.

I don't give a sh!t. Muslim zealots are all the same. m25105 is no different than Harisemo.

I get the same feeling when i listen to 2112Ilovegames1992

Great album, but I don't think much of the title track. I think the following songs are what make the album, especially Tears

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="m25105"]

And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or evasion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them - and settlement is best. And present in [human] souls is stinginess. But if you do good and fear Allah - then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.

.

So only if she can provide fear can she divorce?

It means if a wife is stuck in a abusive relationship with a husband who treats her like crap, she has the right to divorce him and also the right to keep anything the husband gave her as a gift and what she's earned herself.

Define abusive. Is it only physical? What about if he's cheating?

I am not to talk, but listening to the Quran is really something amazing. I feel sad for anyone who does not know Arabic, because listening to the Quran has just a very beautiful feeling. I cannot explain this. I am not a very good Muslim to begin with, but a very bad one. That said aside, I just want to say that listening to the Quran really is amazing.

Most people read the Quran like they read the Bible. I as an Arab, is fascinated by those who can read the Quran beautifully and when I listen to them it shakes me to the core. People cry when listening to it, and some have memorized the entire book.

The pre Islamic Arabs called it Magic. It is not music, not poetry, its something else. I can help it but feel amazed and facinated by the feeling it brings to my heart.

TehFuneral

I've got a copy of the qu'ran in a box under my bed (along with a bible, some dvds and old text books). I think you have to actually believe in what it says because to me it comes across as rather ridiculous. I highly doubt learning Arabic would change my opinion

If it brings you joy then thats fine, just don't start flogging your wive like OP here wants you to ;)

That's abusive too and if the wife won't forgive him if he admits to cheating on her, then he too can be flogged 80 times. It could also be emotionally abusive, like belittling her in front of others, insult her, not appreciate anything she does for him or the household.

TC, I'm still concerned that you think it's okay to punish abuse and adultery with cruel violence. Sorry, but no amount of intimidation will go against human nature. It's not going to do a lot to act as a deterrent. If one partner falls in love with someone and really wants to spend more time with them than their spouse, they'd try to find a way to hide their relationship. How is flogging a deterrent?

You're seriously not worth giving any more attention to.

The husband may initiate the divorce process by pronouncing the talaq, the formula of repudiation, three times. There is no need for witnesses for a Muslim man seeking a divorce. A Muslim woman may petition a qadi to grant her divorce if the husband refuses. The waiting period (iddah) of a woman who seeks a divorce is one menstrual cycle or one month if she is post-menopause i.e. ceased menstruating. This is to ensure she is not pregnant.[13] If the woman is pregnant, then the waiting period is until she gives birth. There is still the need for witnesses for a Muslim woman seeking a divorce.

Personally I'm not a big fan of it, though it sure is a far better alternative than stoning. It's not 100% fool proof deterrence, but it would certainly give a man pause, I'd imagine before he cheats on his spouse. But if God has willed it, that the punishment for not staying loyal to a partner that you've committed to is flogging (although if the spouse forgives his partner, there is no flogging) then so be it.

But at the same time God has also given us allowance to divorce from our spouses if the marriage is fruitless. If a person feels they're stuck in a dead end marriage and not happy, they should at least divorce their partner rather than emotionally hurt her, by cheating on her with someone they love more, before divorcing her. Does it sound cruel to many, it probably is. But is not also cruel to cheat on your wife that has remained loyal to you, born your children for another woman, just cause you find her more attractive. Cheating, doesn't mean you automatically love the person you're cheating with. It can be born out of simple lust too.

That's from the Hadiths not the Quran. Which is the entire point of this thread, that you totally missed out on. Don't even know why I bother with you.

I need context. Were you being a kunt?

If i'm a sad human being and YOU are the one that supports enslaving wives and flogging them if they step out of line then what are you?
