like sashy said earlier, there are lots of forbidden things that people still do. the forbidden things that are "fun" are very rarely avoided, eg. drinking and premarital sex.. forbidden things that aren't tempting anyway are very easy to avoid. for example, i'm a christian, i don't gamble coz it bores me anyway, but its easy for me to say i don't gamble coz its against my religion.. get what i mean? on the other hand i love to drink and party.. i'm not going avoid that just coz my religion says so.. i'm not religious anyway. so i don't observe many christian rules. i just live my life as long as i don't hurt others. me being a bad christian doesn't affect the "good" christians anyway.. so who cares what they think?

in conclusion, (hahhahhaha so formal), muslims and dogs: if you wanna own a dog as a pet, up to you!!!! some people won't approve but so what? they're not perfect either. between you and god anyway. remember, "only god can judge me".

I love the way it's explained.

Remember, you'll go back to God when you leave your life, AND it's the God who judges you. Everyone is IMPERFECT except GOD. (every religion says something like that, right?)
