I'm Muslim, I'm a branch of the Shia Ismaili, I drink, I gamble, I've fuked before marriage, and dammit, sometimes a bacon cheeseburger hits the spot!
How are you getting away with all this stuff? All this Blasphemy, against The Prophet and, presumably, Allah? If we do that massive "Benefit of The Doubt" dance and manage to successfully believe this Cat "Muhamad" was getting Divine Messagery from The Angel J'abril (Gabriel) saying what Allah wanted Muhamad to tell folks: Q'uran 90 and 91of Surat Surat Al-Ma’idah
“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, idolatry, and divining arrows are an abomination of Satan’s handiwork. So avoid that so that you may be successful. Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist?” (Verses ).
Also, Muhammad in a Hadith said: “Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, a small quantity of it is forbidden.”
I don't know what "Divining Arrows" is but you're probably guilty of that too. Ya likely did that as well, at some point.
You're a very successful & skilled 'capper though, why isn't Allah punishing you with....Less Success? Or even Outright Failure?
Like He has Me, in this year's RXNFL?
In my Defense: I did miss a week and I was Drunk while making my picks the other 7 Weeks. Which sorta echoes my question above re: Alcohol Intoxication.....
How can you do these things and call yourself a follower of Islam?
