To Worship Allah
what are you going to get out of life worshipping Allah all the time ? yes being spiritual is a good thing, but we werent created just to worship God.... i guess do what makes you happy, if thats what makes you happy and its the truth, fuck it then do it... my life philosophy is do what pleases you, at the same time treating everyone and everything the same way as you would like yourself... thats my religion.
now a question for infinite..without belief... is someone following islamic codes and practices who doesnt believe in allah, but believes in the moral code and guidelines of the religion.. perhaps one who see's allah as being the good side of self, of conscience and of character.. is that person accepted like they are in christianity?
i believe our sole purpose is to further our own genetic make up into future generations.i.e. procreation...

First of all, thank you for actually addressing me with decency (for the first time in a long time).Second of all, I don't know the answer to that question, but maybe if you ask it in another way I will be able to answer it.
is it me.. or has this thead been off topic from the start.. or is the subject wrong?"your purpose in life" isnt anything to do with your aspirations and ambitions. not that i'm knocking them.. far from it!
i'm not sure how to word it another way...when i said "one who see's allah as being the good side of self, of conscience and of character" i meant it in the sense that god or allah is a metaphor and not a 'real' entity in a physical sense... i.e. like worshipping a man or an idol... if somene were to say that when you worship allah.. you actually worship the good in self, the good in humanity as defned by rules in the koran... and not actually a a defined 'god'.. but whole system of thought/consciousness
so allah is comparable with say mother nature?
it depends upon how large you give mother nature credit for..i think the problem is you refer to allah as a he.. why use gender?mother nature remains as many ancient earth religions worshipped big fat naked women as symbols of fertility.remember the earth is the giver of life, nature controls the seasons and how the sun rises and sets, the tides of the seas.. is allah said to be a he? or could allah be a she? or is allah really neither?
