That's true, the world is unfair, my deepest condolences -virtual hug- I hope she finds rest now, and I hope that one day we will all be able to meet our loved ones.

I advice everyone who work with their computers and like to play modded games and who like to play multiplayer games over online LAN with programs like GameRanger to use a seperate computer for gaming and use it only for gaming to avoid any potential problems, so even when that compter gets viruses or hacked you won't risk loosing important files, that's what I started doing after getting hit by a ransomware once, thankfully I always keep my work backed up but I still lost 2 months of work that I didn't backup.

No we have no such beliefs, maybe some do but there is zero mention of that in Quran or Hadith. So as far as Islam is concerned it's not real. We don't know when was Adam created/sent down to Earth/born (which ever is correct, according to different interpretations), and we don't know where the garden of Eden is (we don't know if it's even on Earth), but what we know that it's been long long long ago, not thousands or tens of thousands of years, maybe hundreds of thousands or more, there have been hundreds of thousands of prophets and messenger, God says that he send one each generation, so if that's the case then lets say every 40 or 50 years God sends one, or every 100 years (some sources say it's every 100 years or so), then that's a VERY long time ago, the garden of Eden of Adam probably don't exist now. The land bridge being man made isn't something to consider supernatural I think, with the very long history of mankind it's not surprising at all that some long forgotten ancient civilization was able to build alot of amazing things. The hindus belief of Monkey men is very interresting, evolution maybe?

I didn't want to say anything because it seemed inappropriate to "preach" in such a situation, but in my beliefs there is cause and effect, things don't always just happen because God is always constantly intervening and making things happen, when good things happen we thank God, and when bad things happen, we all thank God and just accept our fait (accepting your fait doesnt mean to surrender, but to simply not hate yourself or others because of it while still struggling to survive/pass the hurdle) if it makes you feel any better, we believe when such bad things happen (even things that can't be justified at all!) one just have to fight through, it's considered struggle and it's one way to worship God (working, struggling, surving, are all ways of worshipping God) and they are a test of faith from God that would be hugely rewarded in life or the after life. (In the past many medicines and treatements were invented because of people who probably have had loved one get sick or hurt, etc.. their struggle helped us today.) At least you were there for each other in the end. Maybe if there's an afterlife (I believe there is, but who knows, I don't want to impose on your thoughts or beliefs) we'll meet our loved ones again. No one have the real answers, but death comes for all, for some sooner than others, nothing lasts forever, everything dies in the end, I think there is some kind of peace to it, that it's the same for everything and everyone and not just you, it's a fact that no one can change. I wish time stops and nothing changes, especially when seeing your parents getting older, your friends and family growing up, changing and each going their own paths... it's difficult, but there's nothing we can do, we just have to continue living, because one day we will also die. This can't make you or anyone feel better, it's just is. Here's something to consider, some time ago I saw a devastating earthquake, and I thought of what some people say, they say how can God exist if such things happen, or if God exist then God is evil because such things happen, so I googled what if no earthquakes happens, then guess what? Life wouldn't exist on Earth. That's just a small example of the many horrible things that happen to us.

I don't know about these stories but we muslims believe that God sent hundreds of thousands of messengers and prophets all through history, the stories of most have been lost to history and we only know of the few that we know. Since the beginning (since Adam, who we call a prophet btw) God sent prophets and messengers to different nations in the world to call them to worship one God (not idols, not many gods, not nature and not animals), and we say that they all call to Islam, because we consider Islam as the call of the worshipping only one God (so we say that moses' message was Islam, Jesus' message was Islam, etc... the message keeps getting resent again and again after which each time it gets changed and manipulated by man, for example in Islam (as in today's Islam) we don't worship the prophet Mohamed, that's why any pictures or statues of him or others are forbidden, to avoid falling in the trap of worshipping people). So The hindu texts, myths from multiple tribes and ancient civilizations, could be all be remnants of once messages and prophets who were sent to them. Budha for example never claimed to be God and never told anyone to worship him, he was just a very pious and good man who inspired others, and over time he became a religion and people started worshipping him, same thing can happen over and over, stories change over time. In my country, in the past, people would go to famous good peoples' (ancestors) graves and pray to them asking for forgiveness and luck, making offerings and lighting candles and incense, etc..., there are still some people who do this today. I find myths and ancient stories and religious texts fascinating, they might sound mystical and fictional but maybe they were once real stories that changed over time to become fictional and supernatural. There are some ancient Indian manuscripts describing a war between Gods, and describing what we can call today, airplanes and Nuclear bombs, the area where the story happened have high radiations level today still. Maybe what they used to call Gods were a small elite of people who had technology and controlled the masses?

I'm sorry to hear that, there is absolutely nothing I can say to make this sound better in any way. Things just happen and there's nothing we can do about it but try to survive.

Sorry but I find it hard to believe that everything is pure chance, I know that in an infinite universe even the smallest of probabilities is bound to happen, but there should be much more things going on if that was case, like cars or buildings suddenly popping in and out of existence, and that argument itself destroys itself, because with that in mind, God can also exist since everything even with the lowest of chances is bound to happen or exist eventually, so... I don't claim that I know the truth or anything, I could be wrong, but that is my opinion and conviction, in the end we're all going to die anyway. Believing in God doesn't need to be bound by a religion, if you are a person that refuse to follow any religion you can just believe in God in your own logical way and try to live your life the best you can and without hurting others (doesn't apply to criminals, psycopaths, serial killers, rapers and pedophiles, please don't live your life in your own way lol, their own "instict" is broken, so we can't really always follow that, do you see where that is going? complete chaos).

It's simple, no praying alone doesn't solve problems. That's how I was raised and what Islam says. Of course praying is important and one should always ask God for whatever they want, but that doesn't mean to cross their legs and wait, on the contrary, in Islam God says that God doesn't change anything in a people until they change themselves, you have to work on what you want and God will help, not just give it to you while you do nothing (although some people do get things without doing anything, and either they take the chance or let it spoil them, it's still also a test from God when God gives you things like an unexpected lucky wealth). God did once give a certain people all they wanted and all they asked for, and we all know how that turned out... Same thing to diseases, we believe in cause and effect, God says to every disease there is a cure, when you get sick you pray to God to heal you AND you go to the doctor and do all you can to treat yourself, you don't just pray. So we do say God is the one who heals, but you must consider the worldly causes and work on those. Seeking knowledge is sacred. When you get sick it's not necessarily God that made you sick, it's how the world works, there is a cause and effect, even if we don't see or if the cause is so far away (like the butterfly effect). But you still say that it's a test from God and you have to keep fighting and not give up. I also do see some people that say you just have to pray and you will be healed and that going to the doctor and taking medicine is useless, that is very dangerous and ignorant and it's THEIR thinking not what religion says (I'm sure Christianity is the same). So I totally agree with what you said about praying. But I do think that sometimes prayers do work, some people get healed magically despite all odds and what doctors say, sometimes things happen against all odds when a person prayed for them, maybe it's fate, maybe it's an answered prayer, who knows, but sometimes it does happen, so one must never lose hope and do everything they can to pass the challenge they're in by all means (non-criminal means) and shouldn't lose faith. You can do it, and if you couldn't, that's also alright, maybe it was better that you couldn't do that certain something that you always wanted or didn't get that certain thing, maybe by not having that you'll be getting something even better or maybe that thing you wanted was going to hurt you in the short term or in the long run. You were almost able to buy a ferrari but lost it at the final moment, maybe that's a good thing, maybe you were going to crash when driving it and pass away... you don't always get what you want, just like a child doesn't and shouldnt always get what they want. It did happen to me that something I badly wanted didn't work out and instead, becuase that didn't work, I got to get something even better. And sometimes, something I want really bad eventually come to me. Sometimes it doesn't. That's life.

Too bad, it was like a hack, they should bring it back

You're welcome It's been a while since I played simcity4, but I remember that it just works, you have to build the building first, then place the ped mall over it, that way the building is just there and wont get destoryed when you modify the terrain around it and you can do weird things with that

Yes, it is, lol Why would you say no?...

Haha, me too, I forgot about it I just saw this by chance In Islam we don't associate any form to God because to us God is a being beyond everything we know and we can't even imagine how/what/... God is, think of infinity, it doesn't have a form or a number, so no arms or legs or such things that we know, jews also share the same idea I think, and christianity too until they started to make God=Jesus (but this is just my opinion, of course christians would disagree, to each their belief) I was intrigued at first when you said there is a secret code, because in some Surahs (like..chapters) in the Quran, there are some seperate random letters at the start, that no one know their meaning and what they're supposed to be, not these exact letters but this is an example - a k x b, ألف لم ميم ألف = A لم = L = M ميم

Very cool I'm glad that you were inspired

Are those from Kitbash Lunar Base pack?
