I really like this, and since I just looked it up, I thought I would share it with you: If there is any lover in the world, 0 Muslim, it is I. If there is any believer, infidel, or Christian hermit, it is I. The wine, the cup-bearer, the musician, the instrument and the music, The beloved, the candle, the liquor and the inebriation, it is I. The seventy-two religious sects in the world Do not really exist; I swear by God every religious sect-it is I. Earth, air, water and fire: do you know what they are? Earth, air, water and fire-and the soul as well; it is I Truth and falsehood, good and evil, pleasure and suffering, beginning and end, Knowledge, learning, asceticism, devotion and faith-it is I. Be assured that the fire of hell and its flames, Paradise, Eden and the angels of heaven-it is I. Heaven and earth and all they hold: angels, demons, and men - it is I.

This is becoming like a Bush press conference. You could be a press secretary. Message 21547228 Message 21547329 Your brain shut off after you remembered not to spell it "tow," but you are using it as though it was. You did not mean to say "this thread is for people brave enough to conform to rigid rules." That's just silly, especially coming from you. The only reason that an intelligent person such as yourself would make a mistake like that is because you were distracted by your pride in pointing out the mistake of someone else. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Proverbs 13:10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. You can't avoid the structure of God's universe. Even intellect such as yours is not enough. So maybe instead of "replacing God" you should just ... I dunno ... toe the line?
