Now I don't agree with you on the name just because someone is named something doesn't mean they practice a religion.
Anyways lets hypothetically say Melina Abdullah is concealing her beliefs how still is this post in anyway pertaining to Islam. If the pope were to be discussing football I don't think he would want to somehow have god drawn into the conversation.
Although I am not either a Christian or a atheist hypothetically if we were only a product of evolution then I see no reason why we wouldn't posses free will. It is the greater intelligence that humans possess that allowed them to rise above the rest of the animal kingdom and had we not had freewill I think we would only be acting on instinct thus we never would have reached the heights our society has reached for. I was freewill that gave way for human ambition.
I disagree I think there are some parallels between the book and some practeces used by mor extreme left wing organizations at the moment but it doesn't have show that the whole of liberalism supports authoritarian policies.
What about Fox News suggesting that trump have snoop dog and bow wow killed in this recent media debacle would that not be a right wing example that of attempted thought police?
Although I am neither a Christian or a democrat I think it is possible for someone to support a side without supporting a particular issue. For example I voted for Donald Trump but I do not agree with his stance on abortion. After all only sith deal in absolutes.
Atheism: disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.
Islam: the religion of the Muslims, a monotheistic faith regarded as revealed through Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah.
Given these definitions I conclude that Atheism is not Islam.
"You believe in gods which promise you nothing but death"
They do not promise me death, death is a natural occurrence they promise me a purpose after that death.
"You say they make no claim of loving you, then in the next breath you say they love you and you love them."
I said they make no claim to inherently love someone just a you don't immediately love a stranger you've just met but over time if you get to know that stranger you can love them.
Gods are Gods, that is why I believe Gods areGods. The sky is the sky, and it is blue, and that is why I believe the sky is blue.
"Do your gods approve of sodomy"
You do understand that is just anal and oral sex right? Why would they care for the physical pleasures of humans?
"they are going to destroy everybody in death and then make a new creation from the ashes"
You clearly haven't been listening they are not going to destroy everything they are working to prevent ragnarok which is the foretold destruction of everything.
It may be easier for people to answer your questions if you actually kept them all in a single post rather than posting multiple but I'm sure you already know that seeing as you have demonstrated multiple tactics ment just to upset people.
When a young woman married in the early years of the Roman Republic she left her childhood home and the authority of her father and entered not only the home of her husband but his power and control as well. In law her status was not very different from that of her husband’s daughter. As Rome’s empire grew and more and more money poured in things began to change. Any amendments to the law probably seemed quite insignificant at the time they were made, but the reality of day to day life gradually began to transform the way society viewed women and the way they viewed themselves. By the end of the First Century women had achieved a level of freedom they would not see again in Western Society until the last half of the Twentieth Century.
Life was hard in the Ancient World and death, disease and hunger lurked around every corner. If told about the new liberty for women, those on the bottom rungs of the social ladder would have laughed and said it did not apply to them for they were too busy earning a living to take advantage of whatever liberation was going on elsewhere in society. Outside of the lower classes women could not work but they did not want to do so either. In fact "work" was seen as something to be done by slaves and low class people who did not know any better. Nevertheless women were demanding and getting greater freedom. Some men objected, of course, but their cries of protest were in vain. Emperor Augustus introduced a series of laws to promote traditional values but even he was unable to stem the tide of progress.
Generalizations on the status of women in the ancient world are always difficult, and never more so than in the case of Rome where theory and practice were often so far apart. Many Athenian men seem to have regarded their wives as at best essential inconveniences, but Roman men placed a very high value on marriage, home and the family and this made quite a difference to society's treatment of women. At no time in Rome's history were women allowed to hold public office or work in the government. In the early days of the Republic women were not even allowed to make suggestions, but by the beginning of the Empire many men were seeking and even following the advice of their wives. It was all right to do so, provided the advice was given in private and the husband did not make a big deal of it. Respectable women were not supposed to be wandering around alone outside, but somehow they managed to have a life beyond the home.
Most of our written evidence from the ancient world was produced by educated, well-to-do men. They have undoubtedly left us a reasonably accurate picture of their own life, but how much trust can we put in the comments they made on the lives of everyone else. Nowhere is this situation more troubling than in Ancient Greece where women were largely regarded as inferior creatures scarcely more intelligent than children. Most of the written record comes from Athens; the little bit we know about the other Greek states was more often than not written by an Athenian
The picture that emerges is that seen by the men of the age. There is no reason to doubt its accuracy as far as the law and public appearance is concerned and we certainly know what men thought of women. What women's life was like out of public sight or in the company of other women must remain largely a mystery to us.
