I did a lot of research tonight, and I learned some fascinating stuff about Islam I just didn't know before. I spoke with a couple Muslim friends, and I really like how they see God, so I decided to give it a chance and convert to Islam. Sorry HAF people, I'm sure this'll come as a surprise! But I'm very happy!
We've been needing a new Muslim. I may look into Buddhism again.
When you can has the virgins, share.
BCE, thanks! I was reading the Qura'an tonight and there are some really awesome passages that a friend pointed out to me that talk about science and biology, it's amazing how much more detail there is than in the Bible! And Buddhism, eh? That's awesome! Buddhism is pretty cool.
Asmo, I'm still just really overwhelmed by my new faith. It's awesome. I mean, I was a nonbeliever so long, I kinda forgot how awesome faith can be. And it's really cool that there ARE virgins in the afterlife. If I'm faithful, I might get to spend some time with them! I'll definitely remember to share.
This is what I meant by the science. http://www.quranandscience.com/earth/263-quran-on-formation-of-clouds-and-rain.html
QuoteAllah says:
(And We send the winds fertilizing (to fill heavily the clouds with water), then cause the water (rain) to descend from the sky, and We give it to you to drink, and it is not you who are the owners of its stores [i.e. to give water to whom you like or to withhold it from whom you like].) (15:22)
Modern science has affirmed the scientific points mentioned in this verse of the Quran. The winds carry water particles which are rich in salt up into the atmosphere; these particles which are called 'aerosols' function as water traps and form cloud drops by collecting around the water vapor themselves.
This is awesome!
This thread made my (April fool's) Day. :D

Actually, its cover was blown hours ago, but The Asmo was asked to kindly stop raining on parades for a while. >:(
The first thing I did when I saw this post was go "What the f**k!". :o
Then I checked my calendar. ;D

Yeah, Asmo got it right out of the gate, LOL. He kindly edited his post. Yay for me being a totally juvenile dweeb, ha.
I do believe I'll stay Muslim for a day, in honor of the day. *grin*
Bring on the shawarmas and the virgins!
Holy crap I almost had a heart attack!
I totally forgot it was April Fool's (my mother-in-law is staying with us, so that's been keeping me pre-occupied).

What's the normal thing for tomorrow when you leave the true faith?
Is it stoning?
Anyway I'm going start chipping some sharp edges into my stoning stones.
Good one, Amicale! You had me fooled for a couple of minutes.

You totally got me, Amicale. Completely forgot it was April Fool's Day and was shaking my head in disbelief. Good one :D
I guess you're my enemy for today, heathen scum. :D
I actually had a brief stint with Islam once. It didn't last very long when 9/11 happened. ::)
;D Glad to be of service to so many of you today!
Of course, Allah told me in a dream that it was right and proper to lie to infidels like all of you. :D
Amicale, can I just say that I approve of the new Avatar.

If I hadn't already expected a thread of of this sort today (though I had been expecting one on Christianity...but Islam ??? ) I would've thought the world went crazy for a moment. ;)

Awww, your icon is adorable!!!
I was jus thinking that today. Maybe she moved to Egypt, got married, and became a ' proper woman' ? ::)
To your credit, my first thought was "Damn, someone must've hacked her account!"
LOL!!! I'm so freaking gullible. I just got done responding to the thread about April Fools Day, and I still didn't catch on. I was like "Whaaaaaaaa? Whaaaaaaa?" LOL You got me good, Amicale. Now pass the virgins, please.

Ooooh man I had too much fun with April 1 this year... and Ali, you, Asmo and I will have to share the virgins. :D
So I noticed the thread title and thought it would be some type of spoof on Islam or something. I then started to read. I got to the third for fourth post and went FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. She is serious. This subsequent to some enriching discussions with her in the recent past here on HAF. So I read on to get to the bottom of what had to be just a momentary laps of reason. PMs were already written in my head. Then the grenade from which I pulled the pin when I opened this thread exploded in my hand.
This was dirty Amicale. You are evil and should be destroyed.
Jking. HAF would not be the same without you. Great tease! And very glad to hear that that is all it was.
...So, can The Asmo put his original comment back now? It's the seond of April after all. ???

ROFL, Truthseeker! Yeah, very glad that it was only a tease, too! If you EVER see me posting something like this at any other time of the year, PLEASE someone send me a PM asap cause it'll mean my head's went nuts on me again.
Asmo, you can CERTAINLY put your original comment back. LOL, thanks for being a good sport, buddy. ;D

Was something about this obviously being one of them ridiculous april the first pranks and The Asmo being equally distrustful of people in April, May and all the other months and not getting the point of it all.

The Asmo is actually so distrusting, and distrustful at the same time that he does not even trust himself. ;D

This is a most excellent mental picture. Ali is sitting on her nice red couch, quietly reading a book. What's that sound? Ali looks up, to see all six feet of Asmo (leather clad, no doubt) falling at her from the 20 ft ceiling. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

You just better hope he wasn't sitting in a bathtub that broke through the ceiling before he fell on you...
... and that he doesn't have all his piercings in. I reckon that might hurt. ;D

Might as well add a fourth. The Asmo, the Asmon, the Asmin and the Holy Asmit. The Holy Quartet, sounds like a band... 8)

Add to this the fact that he is an occational ass-hat and the confusion is total. :P
Ah, yes! The Swarm is many tiny Asmos, and yet The Asmo is The Swarm. It's impossible to explain using the three dimensions of space a human can percieve.

Somehow the idea of an Asmo asshat is even more alarming than Asmo, either as a big lump of clay or otherwise, falling thru the ceiling while in a bathtub.
