So, essentially, Islam bribes people with sex in the afterlife like Christianity bribes people with salvation.
It's all kind of the same in that respect -- telling people what they want to hear.

Your friend is wrong. The virgins are one of many pleasures in paradise available to anyone who qualifies to enter paradise. And you dont have to die willingly to enter paradise. And I checked, the numbers are made up (40, 70, 72, 88) you probably get much more than thatHunter/Jumper wrote:
I asked a Muslim friend about, it He thought the post was funny and added that Zarcowi [sp] would not qualify as the Koran states you must give your life willingly and zarqowi did not. He fought for his life. He was pretty adamant about it. Anyone else ever hear of this take ?
Also did you all know that a woman gets all the Brad Pits and George Clooneys she wants in paradise?
Yeah but check this out. As a Muslim you start from zero, with the prospect of doing good in this life and being rewarded in the afterlife with lots of sex and food (aka a rough and unrefined version of the Epicurean life model). In Christianity you start with the handicap of being a sinner so your life is your chance to change so as to gain salvation.Pug wrote:

...don't you think salvation is a little different than banging 72 all the time?
Do you think it's interesting that the reward of living a pious life is hedonism?

Either way, they rely on false hope. You might as well just live the hedonist's life here, because odds are this is the only life we get.oug wrote:

Well sure! They are religions. Of course they rely on false hope. Epicurus ftwTurquoise wrote:

Paradise gives you most beutifful "partners" you can imagine, created just to give you pleasure. They are not from this world, they have been specially created for you. One can come to conclusion that the number doesnt even matter, the "partners" are out of this world and give you pleasure you can not even imagine in "this" world.
The word used to describe these people translated means something like "unbelievable hot secksy people" meaning both genders. The same word in old Arabic is the plural of sexy men and woman (both genders).
Which means that men get all the hot sexy chicks (or maybe even men?) they want and the chicks get all the sexy man (maybe even chicks?) they want.
It is a general misconception that (according to Islam) woman die and serve as servants to men in afterlife. Not true.
Im not a Muslim or a religious man so from a neutral point of view, the haven seems like a kick ass place
