The person that wrote this passage is a fool, any body that believes it is also a fool. . .No atheist does good?. ..All atheist do abominable work?. . .Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are two atheist billioniares btw them they employ close to a million people. . .They own some of the largest charity organizations in the world that are helping in eradicating polio and reversing blindness by giving back sight to the bling to corrective surgery, many blind people have been able to see through their charitable work, many have averted polio because of their work. . .So you see I have just shown you how your bible and that verse is a piece of garbage that only fools will believe in. . .



provide an animal that told you he/she knows that there is a creator. . .By the way the creator of the world is shiva the hindu goddess. . .

hehehe, i dey vex this guy badly. And to think that he was actually accusing believers as the angry ones in the initial. Anyway, na their way be that.
BTW, the Bible does not say that atheists don't do good, it says they are not good.(all humans actually). Its like having some good food in the garbage bin, those waste management trucks, those septic tanks, yummyyy. They are corrupt, go figure.
Show me two things and i will do as you requested. Show me an animal that told you there is no Creator, then show me proof that Warren and Bill are atheists. Thank you.

You claimed that animals know that there is a creator and you want me to prove your point for you. . .I never made any claim about animals. . .
Gates was interviewed November 1995 on PBS by David Frost. Below is the transcript .

Frost: Do you believe in the Sermon on the Mount?

Gates: I don't. I'm not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I'm a huge believer in. There's a lot of merit in the moral aspects of religion. I think it can have a very very positive impact.

Frost: I sometimes say to people, do you believe there is a god, or do you know there is a god? And, you'd say you don't know?

Gates: In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid.

For Buffet here is a quote from. . .from Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist

“He did not subscribe to his family’s religion. Even at a young age he was too mathematical, too logical, to make the leap of faith. He adopted his father’s ethical underpinnings, but not his belief in an unseen divinity.” . . . .

Very simple really, they refuse to accept any other reality than theirs. They are inwardly afraid you may be right and channel that fear in form of anger towards you. It is nothing personal; they have unfinished business in their minds in forms of questions and doubts and fears. You shake their world by your non-belief. It is the only way they know how to react.

Oh, you've never heard of ALL have sinned? The fool has said there is no God. Atheists are a subset of unbelievers, understand? The above quotes are in no way saying that Warren or Bill don't beleieve in the existence of God. It simply shows that they are not the religious types or ardent church goers.

Google is still free in case you cannot read a koran. Try

also, try http://www.answering-islam.org/authors/shamoun/muhammad_salvation.html

That is just to start with. You can do your research. What makes a believer not corrupt as an unbeliever is that the blood of Jesus has washed him and made him a new man. Its like formatting a corrupt file, or using an antivirus.

No contradiction. There is one God and many gods. Beside God, there is no other God. Would be stunning if you understand this line.

Also read the koran passages given in that site. At least, you usually listen to atheists and other antichristians on christianity and the Bible. That hadith is a vision he purportedly had, he was unsure of his final destination and every good muslim is expected to be, they see it as humility.

hopefully, you now see why i said that they are not saved and their Mo was not assured of salvation. What you called aimless link is an online koran.

Sahih International
Or do they say, "He has invented it?" Say, "If I have invented it, you will not possess for me [the power of protection] from Allah at all. He is most knowing of that in which you are involved. Sufficient is He as Witness between me and you, and He is the Forgiving the Merciful."
46:9
to top

Sahih International
Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."


those are Mo's words from the koran, not just some vision in some hadith.
