actually, santa is christianized version of germanic god odin and he's older than your god LOL i don't like to discuss these issues, but the idea of monotheistic god is only 2300 or so years old (i.e. abrahamic god). before that, there wasn't a god that you pray to. that's why i'm saying it's humankind's invention.
Well thats very much screwed!
1stly, God doesnt get born...so there is no such thing as so and so is older than your god...
2ndly, how did you conclude 2300 yrs? There is no proper records of such things...
3rdly, Well if Odin is older and so are Greek and Egyptian gods and so on....then what were these gods used for if not to "pray to"?
before jews re-modeled their monotheist god (i.e. yahweh), they used to worship him as one of the gods among many of semitic gods (baal being head god of canaanites, chomesh being of that moabites) which is attested in the word elohim used many times in hebrew bible, which signifies plurality (suffix -im being plural suffix).
The plural in Hebrew if you learned linguistics is like the plural in Arabic even Allah is referred to with plural why? its called the ROYAL WE...in Pakistan we also have it and so do people in Malaysia...when someone of royalty says we it usually means I but coz I am someone great I use me, myself and my power as WE
Any linguist can prove it to you!
i won't even mention all that flood and noah stuff, which are clearly adopted from sumerian myths.
Myths?
Apparently archaeological proof are also myths for you...
all in all, you can pray and believe whatever you want, just don't come with that muslim (or whatever religion it may be, coz it sets me off) pride stuff. i'm believing in god/s that i clearly know is a result of my people's desire to link their existence to some higher being and things they couldn't explain, and i'm ok with that coz i just want to believe. all hail tengri LOL
Good for you!
First of all, what is "prostitution"? It is having sex with someone for a return. Even ordinary sex is like that, that does not work any other way around.
prostitution is a business ...if it is so ok, would you marry one?
Would you allow your sister or daughter to indulge is such a business? If not then why is it ok that someone else's sister or daughter needs to sell her body to you but yours wont? No offence but sometimes you have to throw yourself in someone's shoes to understand what is wrong with somethings...
Secondly, please show me a source where Quran says having sex is illegal. I even highly doubt that it would have a word in it to qualify "prostitution" in the first place lawl. And I highly doubt that the Quran actually refers much regarding sexuality at all.
It is not just religiously wrong it is morally disgusting that women need to sell themselves to satisfy some hungry men who dont have the balls to face responsibility and go get themselves a wife! Or worse that they need to act like an animal by paying someone to bear with them! Sounds better? No well that is what prostitution is!
First see the moral degradation here where prostitution visits are acceptable norm!
2nd see the health wrong there...multiple partners is never healthy
3rd as for religion it says guard your modesty repeatedly all over the Quran...before making a fool of yourself please do read the Quran...
Thirdly and most importantly, that is still "intervening in another person's business".
Another's business? When you announcing it in a public forum means you asking for answers otherwise if you visited a prostitute few seconds ago no one on a public forum would know and it is your business! But when you announce it, it is open for discussion!
Do you think that as a human-being, judging and calling others "wrong", "bad" etc is actually a good thing? If so, then I pity you, for believing that you are somewhat qualified to judge other people.
My say to such people is....if you cant find yourselves in that situation and think it is ok for others to be in such situations then you def are wrong. If you cant imagine your sisters and daughters as prostitutes then I say you saying other's sisters and daughters as prostitutes is wrong!
When people stop saying a wrong is wrong you get extremists...
No. Only "God" has the specific requirements to be able to judge other human-beings for "bad sins". Other than that, the social laws we today have, which are based on "human-rights", are enough to keep the stability and order on the planet, which is all we need in this life.
The ability to distinguish right from wrong is what makes us humans as chosen species above animals with a brain to utilize! If we fail to be able to distinguish we are no different than that of an animal whose brain doesnt have the capacity to see right from wrong!
