'Marry single mums instead of young virgin girls'
In Malaysia, their conservative Islamic Party is encouraging men, who are looking for their second or third wife, to choose single mothers instead of virgin girls. Virgin girls have no burden. If men marry more single mothers, men can help these single mothers take care of their children.
Wan Ubaidah, a cabinet minister in Malaysia, said this about men who leave their wives: "Some of these husbands just go missing in action suddenly, and leave the wives without any food or money. These kind of men should be whipped, they deserve it".
"This punishment is not in the state sharia law at the moment, but we can make it a law to make men more responsible; there is a lot of room for improvement in the legal system to protect the welfare of women," she added.
COMMENT:
I find this interesting for many reasons. One of these reasons is because Wan Ubaidah mentioned incorporating this type of idea as part of Sharia. In my book, The Tyranny Of God, I discussed the reasons why and how religions may have been used by ancient leaders. One of these reasons were to use religion as a way to encourage and/or coerce the masses to behave in a way that, in their judgement, is good of their society.
I wish there was a way to watch and study how memes/ideas like these is eventually embraced or rejected by human culture through its laws and religions, over decades or centuries. Here could be an example of how a meme like, 'It is good to marry single mothers', and many memes like it, can, and may, become embedded in religions.
The Tyranny Of God
Paperback Edition
Is there a God? Where do the animals, plants and human beings come from? Are scriptures the words of gods? Does religion teach us to live moral lives? Why do so many people kill and are killed over it? How should we live our lives if God exists? How should we live it if God does NOT exist?
This book explores the truth behind our beliefs in God and the propensity of human beings to be religious. In an honest attempt to seek the answers to life's deepest questions, I probe into how life began. I then progress to investigate the true nature of religions and their impact on our lives and the rest of humanity.
The main purpose of this book is not to argue against religion. Rather, it tells our story and how we have come to oppress ourselves with the tyranny of our own beliefs. I wrote this book to include everything I discovered to be relevant in my search for the truth, not just the truth behind God and morality, but also behind us and our existence. Instead of reading this book with the expectation that it is trying to prove the tyranny of God, I would like to recommend you read it as a story book: as a book that tells the story of humanity from the Big Bang.
REVIEW
"While Comelab's writing is always moderate in tone, its message clearly undermines current distractions with accommodationist arguments towards presumed religious "moderates". It is written with the fresh confidence of a young man who has had early success in his adopted country and only recently come to realise the truth of atheism. For those like me whose only worry about Atheism has long been its faultering progress, Comelab reminds us that much of the energy must continue to come from those who have more recently learned the truth. He seems more than bright enough to soon progress to seeing atheism not as an end but as a starting point to the kind of understanding that should enable us to work towards a future incomparably better than any heaven the faithful can imagine."
