Greetings and Peace, all group

ALLAH has created gay animals, including gay humans. Homosexuality has not put a spanner in the works, yet--in any known species. It may have even created some advantages in nature.

It's not really a great argument though... Someone could say Allah created psychopaths, people with addictions or cannibals. One species of fungus lodges itself inside ants and eat their brains out before the poor ant even dies. Just Google fungus and ants. It's horrible but nonetheless created by God. Just cause it's natural or that it was made by the Creator doesn't mean it's good or nice.

Not saying that being homosexual is against the Quran, since I don't have enough knowledge and didn't verify anything yet. Just pointing out it's not a great argument for it.

Lol, well believe me I would have stayed in Canada if I could chose. The things you do for love... ;D

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

I am honestly lost in the last few pages of conversations. confused

If sex is only allowed in marriage, can marriage be between two people of the same gender? Whenever I read the Quran, I only see it talking about men and women, not men and men or women and women. Why? Is it an already established fact that marriage is only between men and women? Or does it only apply to that case?

Sorry I am full of questions and no answers.

Hello, I am a Canadian woman and living in the UK because a British guy stole me and we got married P. I am here to learn about Islam without Hadith.

A little about me, I am mostly from a non-religious background, was baptised out of tradition (and because it's pretty - really mom?). I somehow did believe in some sort of God, Panentheistic and I'm not sure how and why since I wasn't exposed to it. and for a few months was briefly having a look Christianity since I was a curious child. It didn't last long and soon enough I was again in secular moral classes.

I used to be a very angry teen at religious people, not understanding why they believe in God(s) when so much bad happened to me and many other people. Then I started to read about religions to try to understand them. At this point I didn't believe in any religion but dabbled in ideas, liked Buddhism and such. Islam wasn't much on my mind but when I got on Facebook, I saw one of my childhood friend converted to Islam (mainstream).

I was curious on why would a sensible and kind person like her convert to something the media kept talking about in negative light. I searched about it and saw some of it wasn't as "crazy" as it seemed. So for years I wondered what to do, dabbled in many religions and came back and forth when it came to Islam. I didn't realise at that point that Hadith was the cause of my discomfort and tried to do mental gymnastics.

Obviously, that backfires on someone who doesn't do blind faith. And then I went on a religion website, that discusses most, if not all religions you can think of and saw a Quran only section. It made a lot of sense and the person making the threads was making very good arguments... So I decided to have a look at this and maybe I'll find my place in Quran only Islam.

TL;DR I dabbled in lots of religions, mainstream Islam made me feel icky, forums are cool and I found Quran only so giving it a try.
