Too Drunk...

Yesterday during my lunch break, I hit the local Walmart specifically to pick up the new AC/DC album. Like always, I ended up walking away with more than I came for... 5 new discs including Buckcherry's latest release "Black Butterfly"

Yes, I know music is available online but there's something about forcing myself to listen to an entire album that enables me to feel like I'm broadening my musical horizons.

Buckcherry, where do I start... They sound like my kind of band, they look and act, well... like something else. Josh Todd is in serious need of a better stylist, a little less eyeliner, and perhaps if he laid off the drugs, you wouldn't be able to see his ribs poking though those horrid threads. The whole emo thing is a little difficult for me to accept... visually.

I truly thought Buckcherry was destined to be a one hit wonder with "Crazy Bitch" as their one psuedo hit. However, a record rep sent me a video postcard of "Too Drunk.." just prior to the release of thier lastest album. I had a listen and much to my surprise it was as catchy as it was raunchy. It's pretty raunchy! I found myself listening to it 4-5 times that day (in a row...shh!)

Then back in August, I attended Crue-Fest ... that's me in the pic!

Motley Crue... all my naughty rock n' roll fantasies include Tommy Lee...

Ahem... Back to Buckcherry, they opened for Motley Crue, and after seeing them live I was again significantly impressed, which is what lead to the Black Butterfly disc purchase. Again, I have to admit, it exceeds every expectation. "Too Drunk..." is as raunchy as they get and the rest of the tracks are comparably catchy. With Buckcherry, you don't expect much, but then then go and wow you! Maybe there's something to their imaging afterall... Check it out:

THE BELIEF OF FIRST SIN IN CHRISTIANITY IS FALSE: The belief of first sin is not found in the Holy Books of Allah.
(In addition; some of scholars of Catholic Church have confessed that this belief has no foundation in the Bible. This false belief has not existed from beginning of Christianity to 3rd century in Christianity. Many of Christian scholars has struggled this false belief in 200 years. But at the end, the other Christians had accepted this false belief with the effect of St Agustin in 5th century.)
Every person is sinless and innocent when every person was born. In substance, human is clean. Everybody was born sinless and with responsibility.
Allah chose Adam, Nûh (Noah), the family of Ibrâhim (Abraham) and the family of 'Imrân above the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns) (of their times). ((3) Aal-'Imran: 33)
It is stated in the Qur'an: … No intimate friend or intercessor will the wrong-doers (unbelievers) have, who could be listened to. ((40) Al-Ghafir: 18)
None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious. ((19)Maryam: 87) Explanation: With The Will of Allah Hadrad Muhammad (pbuh) will intercede Muslims who has great sins.
Allah revealled to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and It is stated in English Translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur'an. "And call not, besides Allah, on another Ilah. There is no Ilah (worthy of worship) except Allah. Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him will ye (all) be brought back. " ((28)Al-Qasas: 88)
In the paradise, Adam has committed a sin but The sin of Adam belongs to Adam. He never commit a sin in this world. He is the first human and Prophet of Allah in eath. That sin doesn't belong to grandchild. Allah never does like this. Allah is Adl (The Just). Allah jalla jalaluh is free from cruelty. Mankind can be cruel. The atonement is a false and a pervertion. A Prophet and Messenger of Allah, Eisa (Jesus) alaihis-salam, never be in pervertion, far from it. All Messengers of Allah are about to truth and sinless human. This life is a trial. At the Presence of Allah, everbody will account for its life in Hereafter.
Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger (to give warning). ((17)Al-Isra: 15)
Confession (one's sins) and forgiving sins by priests, invoking and worshiping Jesus are falsehood, pervertion. There is no authorization and power that a priest call in to being and destroy sin. Allah has not need a mediator to accept to repentance and vice-gerent to forgive sins. Confession of christian is like a new bravery preparation to commit that sin again. It is like that sin dead, then live sin. The repentance in Islam, there is no different to say but what sin dead in such form, come to corpse to raise if you are brave. Confession is an invitation to new sins and to be intimate with sin. The repentance of muslim must be Tobeh Nasuh (Sincere Repentance). A person must leave sin, remorse over having committed the sin and resolve never to return to the sin. The Messengers of Allah never commit a sin.
Allah created human beings with the potential to be good and evil. He implanted in men the desires that need to be controlled according to the Divine Law. Allah created human beings knowing that they would disobey Him. He thus taught them how to repent and purify themselves. The story of Adam and Eve is a prototype of human beings repeated cycle. They forgot Allah's commandment and were lured by Satan. They disobeyed Allah and afterwards repented and Allah forgave them.
Allah alone forgive sins. Alelah is Al-Ghafur (The Forgiver and Hides Faults): Allah is Al-Ghaffaar: The Forgiving (He who is always ready to forgive). Allah is Al-'Afuww: The Pardoner. He who pardons all who sincerely repents.
He is the One(Allah) that accepts repentance from His Servants and forgives sins: and He knows all that ye do. ((42)Ash-Shura: 25)
