    People should have the courage and freedom to ponder, dissect and arrive at their own conclusions on any topic especially from religious books. Many times over the years these verses may have been tampered or inserted by the unscrupulous. With the advent of the internet one should be able to keep an open mind and do his own research rather than blindly following any group. This is our LIFE and we take charge of this LIFE. Preservation of LIFE, understanding and preserving the ENVIRONMENT, seeking the TRUTH with a sense of LOGIC and RATIONALIZATION should be our religion. This will pave the way for a universal religion and for peaceful co existence with our fellow humans and other beings in this only planet that we have.

    Its not actually 72. But 72 is used as a way to say "an uncountable number" I forgot where I heard this but when translated to english people mistook it as a literal number.

    On day 73 you die of exhaustion and come back to earth. The cycle continues.

    can't remember if it was American Dad or Family Guy, but one of the terrorists goes to heaven and the 72 virgins are adolescence geeky 13 yr old boys with zits and peach fuzz facial hair...I thought that was funny. I guess unless you specify, you could get any certain variety of virgins. ha ha

    Sounds like you're a very normal male.:D The idea is they wouldn't nag you they'd only serve you in any way you wanted to be serviced.

    I've found it odd that a religion that prides itself on its piety would have such a lustful reward. Allah demands piety on earth but his heaven is Animal House? I've never understood this.

    For Christians, even though we will recognize our former spouses, there is no marriage in heaven. Our transformed selves will no longer require earthly things, nor will we be hungry, sick, tired, lame, deaf, blind, or any other infirmity.

    These two religions see paradise exactly opposite each other.
