      LOL Lot,

      nice one, at least this may indicate that I'm not a liar wink

      well let me explain

      when I read the Quran, I don't read it like reading a comic book, I read it thoroughly and invistigate every word and letter more than once, I can spend 10 days woprking out a complicated verse

      see

      cheers

            from my perspective yes it makes it so, from your perpective or others who don't know me, I don't really know, not sure if I will even care, wink

            it may sound like it, but, I don't read the Quran alone, I read hundreds of other stuff, like the bible other religious books, and sure other stuff that I use to make my living, and finally the stuff I read for fun, like the daily news paper of example, in some dyas I read the news paper twice wink

            cheers

              You forgot to highlight the part where it says that no people in creation committed before you.

              Some might think that dismisses the fact that it was homosexuality, but the explanation is that none before YOU could have done it or YOU would not be here to talk about it because Homosexuals dont create children.

              R u for the first time taking verses in the literal sense instead of metaphorising them? How come?

              I am certainly not taking it literal, meaning that a man named LOT offered his daughters without thier permission to be prostitutes, no.

              U have metaphorised everything in the entire Quran

              Not everything, just the prophetic stories, but still studying.

              ..........even the idea of God, Heaven, Hell, Mohammed, iblis etc.

              I do not necessarilly metaphorize the God, I just dont have the God as an OBJECT out there in the skies.

              U claim not to believe a person named Mohammed exsisted becoc u have no direct knowledge about him.

              I do not lean in any direction regarding "Muhammad Ibn Abdulah". I have no proof of his existence or non existence. My only interest is in my spiritual GUIDANCE, which is not built from blind faith, but from KNOWLEDGE and the ability to carry out the knowledge.

              Did u know the people of Lot by urself? Did u witness their deeds? How exactly did u verify them?

              No, I dont know them , nor do I take the story as literal, the God is not telling us to offer our daughters up for prostitution.

              I verify the story by looking at the universe, "male" and "female" are designed as a compliment to each other there is yin and yang to all of life.

              It is the union of opposites that creates life, therefore "NONE BEFORE YOU HAVE DONE THIS", couldnt have, or you wouldnt be here to talk about it.

              Or Is that becoz these verses might be in ur favour that u choose to specifically give a literal meaning to it?

              I hope it is clear now.

                  It is unfortunate that your arabic friend hasn't corrected the translations for you.

                  However, say you lived in a time where homosexulaity in both sexes was accepted and understood ,so much so that noboday needed terms like homo or hetro to describe these differences.

                  Then one day a group of men in your village started raping other men, castrating them to stop them from being with women.

                  How would you describe what was going on. What would you say to them when you'd meet them.

                  There is no wrong or right answer nor is this a trick question.

                  peace.

                    I would be rather angry, because my free choice to be with either sex was in danger of being limited to just one?I'd let them know about it! lol

                    However, in this hypothetical "time" you describe, the concept of right or wrong is not present. Yet we, who are in possession of such a concept are suddenly 'dropped' into this time, and expected to answer your question.

                    Problematic.

                          Peace JHamza,

                          Thanks for the verses yet again.
                          All these verses are about the people of Lot, arent they?
                          Can u say for sure, that the people of lot that are spoken about in these verses were homosexuals (born that way)? Could they be heterosexuals practising homoseuality out of lustful choice, becoz of which they are scorned?

                          We all are aware homosexuality as such is an aberration from the common 'normal'. How many of such aberrations are adressed in Quran?
                          Do u find verses on hermaphrodies in Quran?

                          And as for procreation, How many homosexuals do u think exsist in the world? I think statistics in USA showed 4%.
                          And Is procreation a compulsion even among heterosexuals? What would u do about those heterosexual couples who choose not to have kids?

                          And u havent adressed my previous request

                          And also, can u explain ur understanding of 'Polygamy' mentioned in Quran?

                          Peace!

                            Peace idolfree1,

                            Thanks for ur explanations.
                            I understood ur views just as u have described it.

                            You forgot to highlight the part where it says that no people in creation committed before you.

                            Some might think that dismisses the fact that it was homosexuality, but the explanation is that none before YOU could have done it or YOU would not be here to talk about it because Homosexuals dont create children.

                            Isnt the underlined part ur extended understanding of the verse?
                            Could it have been '' no heterosexual people before u were so lustul to choose men over women''?

                            Peace!

                              Peace Nabi,

                              Or Is that becoz these verses might be in ur favour that u choose to specifically give a literal meaning to it?

                              What is metaphorical does not have to be not literal. If you think that because the reading is interpreted metaphorically that it is not literal than I disagree with you here. I think you have misunderstood Kyle because he has given the metaphor, but like I said they can be literal which you have clearly ascertained. You have not seen the metaphor.

                              I agree that I dont see some of the metaphors that some of u see.
                              But U might have misunderstood Idolfree1's views.

                              I am certainly not taking it literal, meaning that a man named LOT offered his daughters without thier permission to be prostitutes, no.

                                    Peaceful, please read what Kyle said he meant by literal. Other than that I will not debate another's views any more. Kyle can tell you what he means, and has. There is no contradiction in my eyes between what we have said.

                                    Joe

                                      a hetro is looking for lust with men shock

                                      how the above make sense to anyone?

                                      unless you call him a homo or a bio looking for lust with men, now that makes sense

                                      but you can't call himn hetro, nice try though wink

                                      you mean then that homosex people are borm like that, don't you?
                                      If you don't mean that, then you think they are born heterosexual, right?
                                      Then, why are you surprised by the sentence?
                                      --I don't say anything about 'bio' because I don't understand it.

                                        lol

                                        Nice try

                                        no no, I mean when a hetro sleeps with a man, he can't be a hetro any more, he chose to be a homo like the one he slept with him who decided to be a homoi earlier

                                        for the bio, it means he sleeps with both, you know gettin the max of life before the judgment day, a bio, is a homo and a hetro at once

                                        cheers

                                          lol

                                          Am I amusing you?

                                          Nice try

                                          I try nothing.
                                          Don't believe me if you don't want, no problem.

                                          Regarding the post, you have used 'hetero' word at the beginning of the sentence, like the other user, see? it is not strange.
