Believing in god is the logical option. Scientist believe in the idea of natural cause. The universe was created by a cause and that cause was created by a cause and that cause was created by another cause and so on - this creates the problem of infinte regression and if you have infinte regression then you would never have a universe. So therefore the cause of the universe needs to be be uncaused; I believe the universe had a beginning, which therefore required a cause and that uncaused cause required consciousness (to decide when to create the universe or we get that the infinte regression problem again) and intelligence (to weight things perfectly) and power (to create it). Islam refers to this super entity as GOD (arabic word for god, ALLAH). Christanity and Islam are the best religions that potray this god but christanity is based on false lies. The idea of trinity by all means makes it less crediable. In addition the idea or word of Trinity isn't even mentioned in God's word, the Holy Bible. A check of any concordance will prove this fact. Not only is it not mentioned, but the doctrine is neither found in the New Testament nor the Old Testament. The bible is often changed to fit the worlds standards. The English changed the bible to say that the royal family is the closest to god than anyone else and the Europeans changed the bible to fit their narative that the white race is the most superior race - its been misinterprated it for their own gains. The quran is the words of god and unlike the bible it is perfect and doesn't need to be changed, it says that the black man is the same as the white man , just as much as the white man is the same as the arab and to enslave a man that allah made free is to go against allah. The bible doesn't say stuff like this but vague stuff like "love thy neighbour". Judasim is the early version of Islam; in the sense that jews believe in allah but don't believe in Muhammed (Pbuh) and Isa (jesus, Pbuh) as gods prophet; jews dont drink alcohol nor do they eat pigs. Islam is the right choice and the answer to many problems. My friend asked me the question, "what if your believe is wrong and there is no life after this?" my answer to him was that - "then i have nothing to lose". I dont drink, i dont smoke, i give 10% of my wealth to charity yearly, I'm obliged to take care of my elders and parents when they become old, i dont deal in intrest, dont gamble etc.

My grandma had a condition where she had to go to doctor for blood letting. "Thick blood" was the explanation I was given. Then her doctor told her to drink red wine, a ladleful at night, and after her visits were only half as often. When I was studying the doctor giving a lecture made an anecdotal comment about his experience of autopsies he had attended: alcoholics had totally messed up livers but their veins were "beautiful" and clean of any fat deposits (allowing the flow of blood and nutrients & oxygen in it)... It makes a sense to me, especially as older people have a tendency of accumulations of fat deposits in the veins - but I believe that a unit a week is probably enough; you don't want to put undue strain on the rest of the organs. You are only likely to benefit from that routine until you are around 50 or your menopause has started, when your hormonal levels are not as efficient to protect from a heart attack as before. I consider alcohol should be treated like a medicine: a little might do you good but overdoing it is just as harmful as any drug - rather than giving an absolute ban we should look at more precisely what the safe dosage and frequency of consumption is.

The specialist said in moderation alcohol reduces the risk of stroke, heart disease, dementia and diabetes. This particular study confused acute and chronic harm of alcohol, deaths and accidents where high amounts of alcohol was in the system like drinking and driving and the long term use of alcohol and how it affects the body. My guess is that the study ignored the fact that the effect of acute alcohol consumption didn't affect the health just large amounts impairs your thinking and increases you chances of making poor decisions that cause death.

[@TheLightSideReactions]

@@enhaxed7839 - That's true, but not in this case. I have NEVER consumed enough alcohol to cause inebriation. This study makes the fatal error of extrapolating its analysis of a small sample to a broader population that is not represented in the study.

In a few years someone will come out with another study that contradicts this one. Just like they have repeatedly in the last 60 years about milk.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

I'll drink my milk until death, I don't care what they say. 🔴🔵⭕⚄

[@blackmore4]

Actually, what is the latest on milk? Good or bad?

[@blackmore4]

Ah, okay. Though I think that whatever the negative effects of milk, they can't possibly be as toxic as whiskey.

[@Bodhi1satva]

blackmore4 Last recent study I read says even raw cows milk is healthy for us. But that was not at all my point. My point was/is that one study does not make science and even when science agree’s, they often change their minds. Even Stephen Hawking proved himself wrong on at least three occasions. The only guarantee we have from conception is death. For all the worry about longevity, why is there so little attention paid to quality of life. We have hundreds of thousands of people just in the USA who can no longer get any pain relief due to a political agenda that punishes doctors while inappropriately taking on the role of a physician and further punishing law abiding citizens who suffer from debilitating chronic pain for what criminals do. As one example...

[@blackmore4]

I understood your point and particularly agree with you about the stupidity of the lack of attention to "quality of life". However, there are better examples than the scientific contradictions about the effects of milk consumption to that of alcohol. The more 'shock' studies about booze the better, in my opinion, whether they're consistent or not. Whatever the minor inconsistencies in study findings, it's so obviously one of the most toxic substances. But unlike equally poisonous options such as heroin, cocaine or tobacco, still has an image of sophistication and normality.

The guy defending alcohol is drunk. The study said the chemical is bad for you at any level of consumption. It doesn't matter if you live in France the alcohol hurts your liver and brain period end of story. They only reason moderate drinkers live a little longer (not as long as weed smokers) is because they live with less stress than binj drinkers or squares.

Certain people with good genetics are much more protected against the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco consumption. The oldest person in history was a lifelong smoker and drinker. If you have the genetics of a centarian your body is capable of repairing much of the damage caused by carcinogenic chemicals.

I should probably stay away from alcoholic beverages no matter what for the rest of my life because in the first place, I feel vulnerable to such a harmful addiction, and in the second place, I don’t want to age so seriously.

Well, so what if you don't drink and drive? Does the "overall" percentage effect you? No. That's why Dr. Harding was careful to say, "When viewed globally." I'd also like to point out the study still agrees with a glass of red wine being good for your health. Additionally it says alcohol leads to breast cancer. This isn't unlike saying, no amount of ice cream is good for you ... overall. Because of the number of people who have diabetes. Nutrition science is fun.

Richard Haring is paid by alcohol lobbyists to say drinking is good for your health. Drinking is not good , but we drink knowing it is bad for us because of how it makes us feel. So cut the shit, don't sugarcoat it, we are not children and we take responsibility for our own actions.
