Shower - Day or Night?

It's been a good number of years but as a kid you're told about how the angels and prophets write down all your good deeds and bad deeds and that the good side is the right side where an angel/prophet sits noting your good deeds whilst the left side is where the bad are written down so you should not for example cleanse your rear with your right hand or eat with your left hand. That's how we were brought up and everyone I know too.

Remember that the "muslim" way of using one hand for wiping and scratching and the other for eating is from WAY WAY back in time. When people didnt have bog roll, or toilets for that matter. It was simply a way to make sure that the ignorant masses lived a bit longer. The wise and educated people just incorporated stuff into the religion to help people stay disease free.

Such as the jewish dislike for pork, probably stems back to the fact that pork, when reheated, is much more likely to cause illness. So how do you stop people eating pork? make it against the religion of course! ( probably not true but certainly possible ).

If there had been unlimited loo roll and nice showers and toilets for the past 2 thousand years i doubt very much there would be a muslim "way" to wipe your bum. Most religious rules have a basis in common sense and are often adapted to serve the people who would have lived in the original part of the world the religion came from.

Killing animals by slitting the throat and bleeding them for example, in a hot climate the carcass of a totally bled animal is less attractive to vermin and flies than the carcass of an unbled animal. ( there was a rather interesting documentary about all this on the BBC last year though i forget what it was called... i think it was a time watch or horizon? ).

Ok, but let me correct you if i may. Its angels and not prophets on the shoulders.
 
Well like I said, it's been a good number of years (10~) since I was in Sunday school, these things fade over time!

Makes perfect sense, I didn't even notice to think of this being caught up in this toilet-cum-poocake-cum-religion of a thread!
 
I like to be clean. However I only shower in the morning, clean my teeth and a wash at night.
Brush my teeth to get rid of the built up crap on them in the morning (all the crap from breathing all night builds up)

(no need to wash my bum before bed, dunno what you do with yours that makes it so dirty it needs washing before bed)
