Wait wait wait... WTF?!?

wow..

loving god huh!

damn good thing that we have such a great planer in our god.

create people then turn them evil so we can punish them later.

Sounds like so much justification for being unable to explain why some people don't believe to me, so they call them hard hearted and cruel.

If you pretend to believe in something it is usually through self defense. Your whole community all believe in something but you believe otherwise.

If you openly declare yourself an unbeliever you will probably be severally punished. In some cases even killed. I know this for a fact as my family went through the same thing back in the dark ages. Hiding behind a Christian veneer to avoid being burnt alive as witches. They did not want to suffer the same fate as my g.g.g.g.grandmother.

All religions that have demonstrated violence in the past are evil. Rotten to the core. A means to manipulate the slave classes into not killing the elite who have put them in that position.

Practicing Shaman... quantum physics rocks

I'm not a Muslim but I would say that what you might not understand is that not knowing/wanting to know God is the punishment. In this, the sin and punishment occur at the same time. It isn't the work of the eternal but it is the individual which has not taken the trouble to see with open eyes. It is like being given all the tools but not using them. Choosing to be poor (in spirit) instead of wealthy. The poverty is the punishment.

that actually makes a lot more sense.

Im an atheist and i happen to think believers are a less intelligent majority. WAIT! dont take offense to that. i mean that ONLY in the category of religion. i know many religious people that are wayyy smarter than i.

"That's just cruel."

BUT, rather typical, don't you think?

HOW is it possible that a fully grown adult in the Western world could possible believe there are invisible creatures up in the sky sitting about on cloudies with an order form and a pencil just waiting for requests before granting all desires to every body ... especially white USians?

It is nothing short of ludicrous.

Do you smile at the African witch doctor spinning in circles, making incantations; imploring his gods to grant him whatever favour he needs or wants?

Of course you do; you think it’s just childish, superstitious nonsense that’s typical of backward heathen natives.

There you have it.

To my mind the godster thingie is no different to the African witch doctor thingie.

That's not my God....?

here are some websites:

Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and The Light.

I don't know where in the world you heard about that allah guy, but my God is Jesus Christ-he has many names-

these are most of the names of Jesus-

"So what you're saying, is that Allah actively creates atheists with the sole intent to punish them later on."

So does the Christian God. If he knows we're skeptics, why doesn't he provide evidence?

How is that different from yahweh hardening the pharoah's heart b4 he asks him to let hsi people go?

I don't believe in allah

Allah is a Calvinist.
