Would it be possible to use this forum for some of us to write a book? If so, would you be interested?

Many of us, believers and non-believers alike, have been attracted to this forum. By me, this is a fun, free, democratic, anonymous, global form of entertainment, and I enjoy the discussions about the great mysteries of our lives. I'm a writer and keep an eye on what books are big-time sellers, and what is often unsaid because there are markets for fresh insights about spirituality, enlightenment, religion, etc.

Anyway, it has occurred to me that we...anybody who wants to play...could write a book about the things that we discuss. The book could have a title like "What We've Found So Far About God, Love, Enlightenment and Other Important Matters." The book would have different topics, and we could make the contributions to it we wanted. I'm sure there's a lawyer among us who could help work out the details, and, we'd want the Yahoo people to feel good about this endeavor. If the book made money, it could all go to charity. Does this idea interest any of you?

    it relatively is a propaganda website. Why do those web content throw around random Koranic verses? The Koran isn't a toy or something. And no, i do no longer think of The Koran strengthen into stepped forward via extraterrestrial beings. It strengthen into exceeded down via Allah to prophet Muhammad (observed), the final of all prophets. the object stated: "Now i visit chat with reference to the numerical codes and miracles interior the Quran, which coach it may no longer have been written via human beings. on the minimum it would desire a working laptop or laptop. Even in the previous the relatively "code" strengthen into got here across, human beings found obtainable have been many numerical coincidences interior the Quran. working example: * The observe "month" (shahr) takes place 12 situations. * The observe "day" (yawm) takes place 365 situations. * The observe "days" (eyyam, yawmeyn) takes place 30 situations. * The words "devil" (shaytan) & "angel" (malak), each and each ensue 88 situations. * The words "this worldwide" (dunya) and "hereafter" (ahirah), each and each ensue a hundred and fifteen situations. what's stunning with reference to the actuality that the observe "day" takes place 365 situations, is that on the time (and nevertheless right this moment), the Arabians have been making use of what's referred to as the Lunar calandar, which basically has 354 days in a 365 days. So the Quran acknowledged the completed photograph voltaic calandar, the form of months in a 365 days, and the common form of days in a month. Then in 1974 the numerical code strengthen into chanced on, centred on the form 19." i do no longer think of the cyber web website poster did no longer even understand how The Koran strengthen into written. returned interior the old days, human beings have been illiterate. The Koran strengthen into written in a quite systematic way via getting verses memorized via Muhammad's (observed) followers presently after his dying. That techniques sequence technique strengthen into additionally quite prepared and ensured that techniques is precise. i'm particular that technique took particularly some time. And no, there is no want for a working laptop or laptop to do those issues. @Nabil: i strengthen into quoting the cyber web website. So, no longer my very very own words.

    Not really.

    They're just opinions. People aren't going to pay for what they already have.

    And the title isn't a good one. There's a difference between having a good, reasonable title that tells what you are reading about while not giving anything away and having a title that's too straightforward.

    Although, I would contribute.

    I've thought about it, and some of my friends on the Politics site used to talk about making a movie/documentary of real life interviews with the real people who frequent the site.

    Its fun to contemplate, but frankly, I think it would be a legal nightmare to sort out. Yahoo probably wouldn't care about the money going to charity, they'd want it.

    Source(s): And then there's the reality that aside from us addicts, the rest of the world either thinks we're crazy or they couldn't care less.

    I AM using it - but not as a documentary - just to compile ideas for different characters and their beliefs and interpretations of reality.

    All characters will be fictitious and any resemblance to real people - living or dead - is purely coincidence.

    It does interest me very much.

    I think it would be wonderful but as Ruth said it sounds like a legal nightmare.

    Let me know if I can do anything to help though.

    Blessings!
