    I've got the allergy meds although a great many of my brothers and sisters can't afford it. But that is not my question. The question is what possible utility does hay fever serve?

    We are in a unique position as a species. We are at a level of development and safety in population where even the weak can survive long enough to reproduce. Those with Asthma, for example, might have died young naturally. Now it’s a manageable irritation for most sufferers and they go on to live full lives, have children, pass on their genes, die of old age. Detrimental genetic defects are passed down routinely and are ever present in the gene pool, because we are not positively selecting for health benefits or environmental benefits. Sure, we have the odd beneficial mutation here and there - sickle cell anaemia for example, as trade off for increased resistance to malaria - but its more often than not isolated cases or populations, or a single family line living in a place where many family lines exist alongside each other enjoying the same security, well-being and status.

    In order for our physiology to change in any real way, we’ll have to do it either artificially, or suffer a global crisis or massive shift in environment. Dramatic changes in our environment may force dramatic changes in us, provided they come before we are ready to handle them. It is much more likely that we will see degradation in faculties because of, for example, our increasing reliance on and substitution of technology for basic functions.
    Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

    Let us see if we might not confine our theological forays within the bounds of, well, theology. Keep biology out of it.

    OK. I think I know what you are getting at, my sugarplum.
    The beardos will say that illnesses like hayfever are modern illnesses to punish the masses for sinful behaviour.  Also, people are supposed to have sabr/patience since every illness is a test from Allah.

    What z10 said. Also, hay fever makes you realize how incapable you are of understanding the universe and God and thus need to come back to Allah and put all the apparent contradictions you've uncovered so far onto a small shelf far far away, labeled mysteries of G-d/G-d testing my faith. Allahu Akbar, donkey.

    P.S. You used to have somewhat thought provoking topics back in the day.

    Mabby,

    It's quite apparent from the OP that it does indeed defy your reflective faculties. So why not stop repeating yourself?

    At first I thought it was a mediocre attempt at a joke to name a thread "The Greatest Mystery", make everyone click on it only to discover that you're talking about hey fever. I now believe that you were not joking.

    No, it has not been dismembered.

    I was confident that posting it the second time would not help you, since (again) I am now aware that hay fever's place in the grand scheme of the Most High is beyond you. I was merely repeating myself for the lack of better methods to make you see that not everyone is as puzzled as you are.

    Myopic retard,

    It will not bring you closer to G-d, I didn't say that as I didn't think that it is actually you who is afflicted by the fever. Since it is you, you will not come closer to G-d, instead your fate has been sealed, you're destined for breakdancing in jahannam. The purpose is for others, who observe your shaytanic convulsions, to learn a lesson - question G-d's wisdom on silly diseases and you will be annoyed by the Almighty just like the bison. The lesson is for others, you are hopeless. Isn't that what I said in the beginning?

    OK, my darling. I apologize for referring to your suffering as silly. I will walk a mile tomorrow to show my support for hay fever survivors. Maybe even two.

    So you want me tho think? Can you give me a question to think about? If it is "what he besides whom there is no other god intended to tell you by this punishment" then I will jump off my balcony. I have done it before many times. Intrigue me first if you want my wisdom which you can only dream to approach by partially understanding parts of it.

    And why you don't like the explanation that it is really not about you. G-d is using you as an example to his other sheep with more worship potential than yourself. Why are you so self-centered?

    Are you saying that God Almighty is incapable of multitasking? He's not kicking you in the groin just to scare the others, you simpleton. He's primarily doing it because you were naughty. You deserved it. Side effect - Ahmed and Faisal Manzoor (old buddies of mine) will take a scenic rout to the masjid next friday to send G-d this sms "we saw what you did to asshole Sayeed and we believe. PS: please don't do it to me."

    God doesn't do stuff merely out of vengeance? Why don't you tell that hadith to the Thamoud? And where on earth did you get the idea that everything he does has to either point you to the straight path or send Azraeel knocking on your bathroom door? Surely it's not in the Koran that me and debunker read on SUNDAYS.
