As a non-believer, I've never touched a sacred book and never will, and I don't understand the need to "indoctrinate" everything. Why can't there be a culture of having just good clean fun, no religion, no wars, no oppression in the name of a virtual god?

My answer to him is that alcohol often helps folks loosen up. It's great, and fun, but only when you take it in reasonable moderation.
- cefarix 13y agoUmm, because that's the reason for me abstaining from alcohol. I made that quite clear when I started my sentence with "As a Muslim".
