well, the flag u see next to my name is turkish flag, which means im muslim. i thought (at least some of) you guys would be appreciated to know how islam describes this.

very long time ago i read somewhere about the meaning of life. according to that source, to islam, life is all about love. i mean loving someone. so ur love to that person takes you to god, the love that you could feel for god.

actually we should love god, even more than anything or anyone we could love. because god has created us. according to islam, he gave us some of his abilities like seeing, talking, almost everything he has instead of ability of creating. then he sent us here to pray, to love, to be a good person, so we can reach him, and then go to heaven. i haven't read quran, (because a complete translation from arabic to turkish is almost impossible, there are some differences between, so u have to speak arabic to read quran to understand it completely) but, in islam again, life isn't all about a church/mosque life. because there are lots of blessings god gave us. we should use animals for their meat to get feed, their leather to get protected from cold, etc. those resources are all for mankind. the point is, you should find a middle point between sins and good works. for example, alcohol is forbidden in islam, because it makes people unconscious, and leads bad behaviour as we all know. but imo, if ur really a good person, drinking alcohol rarely in special days (celebrating something, etc.) won't send you to the bottom of hell. but it counts as a sin. but this doesn't mean we can use drugs too, just because there are drugs in this world. because drugs extremely hurt human body, so u can't hurt urself, because god gave ur body for u to use it in this world. u must protect it at all costs. this means u can't suicide, can't kill anyone (in islam, there's no funeral for people who kills his own father or mother), can't kill even any single creature.

i hope this could be helpful and can let u see this argument through a different perspective.

sorry for my english.
