I thought Allah is another name for God. I mean that's what some folks say. Or do you have anything contrary to that.
you're ignorant and confused.
Muslims worship Allah ...so you're saying they will go to your heaven.

.

What has heaven got to offer? Righteousness, peace and Joy. These things you can never find in world.
and what if I'm not interested? .. I'll go to hell right? ...so It's more like a threat....

.

When God created human. "He gave them the power to choose. Life and death I have placed before you." But he advised us to choose life that we may live. Don't you get the logic there. You are servant to whoever you choose to follow. If anyone follows the world, same is the servant of the devil and the end is the grill(according to you). Forces of good and evil are at conflict everyday over humans. That's why we have pastors, preachers and evangelists warning us to repent so we can be saved. It's simple it's like a father warning his child not to touch a hot iron. If the child touches it. It'll burn him. You see.... God Is Good and He Loves Us he truly cares.

A psychopath will say "if you don't love me, I'm gonna roast you forever"

if I may ask. Why don't you wanna believe in God? What's wrong with that?

Why don't you wanna believe in Allah?
What's wrong with that?


You see, I've come to realize it's only God that can give us true security and peace. The world won't offer us anything. What can we find in the world. Killings, sexual perversions e.t.c.The world doesn't offer anything good. Nothing.....it's all vanity.


What does heaven have to offer?


As for hell, God didn't create for humans, he created it for the devil. And God is never happy when people go to hell. That's why christ came to die for us. You see..... God is Good.


and this makes sense to you? ...

Your god is allegedly all-knowing, so saying he didn't create 'hell' for humans is contradicting your belief since he KNEW right from the birth of the universe, what purpose the grill would serve....think!

Health / Re: Ways Not To Treat A Fat Guy! by Longstride: 6:23pm On Dec 14, 2014

I know how it must feel when someone calls you "fatty" ...
or when you see nice attires that won't fit your form ...
or when others are doing sports or dancing or frolicking but you can't because you lack the self esteem ..knowing you might look funny to some people or attract attention...
or when people mockingly advise you to exercise.

There are two paths.
You either remain like that... Consoling yourself everytime you're hurt ..perhaps developing an emotional shield to stop what people say from affecting you, Accepting the fact that you're obese...maybe telling yourself stuff like "God made me this way ... I'm proud"

Denying the fact that you would be much more attractive and healthy-looking if you were fit, attracting better potential mates ...consoling yourself with stuff like
"real mates will like me for who I am inside ...not the physical".


Or you could save yourself the self-consolation, denial and possible depression....with a few months of hardwork and determination.

sire, they may be based on research but the truth is they are mere facts. The reason why I made mention to evolution is that I see it as the way by which the divine creation theory is disproved. Evolutionists believe that an animal can change into a new kinda specie over millions of years. This cannot be scientifically tested as it would take a long time. But based on bible's account of creation we see that God created plants and animals to produce their kinds. This we see and learn of everyday. It simply based on procreation and reproduction. Can't you see how this supports God's account of creation. And also according to biogenesis living things came from other living things through the process of reproduction. So we can infer that the present day humans came from the first persons. I know you must have heard of the chicken and egg which one came first. The truth is the egg came from the chicken but the chicken also came from the egg. So life begats life and there's possibly no way organism can evolve to give new species. All are mere facts. Or which other way can you disprove this. Or may be I should ask. Where do you stand? Lol
your write up has nothing to do with the topic.

no matter what pleasurable activity you're promised to experience there, imagine enjoying it for a year, 10 years, 100 years, 10000000000 years undecided

... No sense of urgency, you don't [size=16pt]have[/size] to do anything because there's limitless time, you could just sit in a spot for 100 years nothing spoil ......no fear, no adrenaline ..as much as you feel you'll be better off without negative emotions, they're what make life complete.

Or imagine praising god forever and ever.... Even god will get bored and find another planet to play with. undecided

If the God Idea was created.... What can you say about the theory of evolution.

the god idea was enough for most people then. But over the generations, man gets smarter, so the loop holes in the god theory get more obvious, more and more people begin to question It's credibility.... But the "how did we get here" question remains. modern man with better research capabilities, and all, finds a more credible alternative which seems logical to him, based on research.... Not wishful thinking.

Saying there's God is illogical..because there's no proof..
Saying there's no God because there's no proof is also illogical...
But sometimes i wonder why people even bother.. Even if God existed, i dont think he wants to have anything to do with us.. That explains why heaven and hell cannot be real,infact the whole story about God sounds like those stories parents use to scare their children....
Why would God even go through the stress of creating heaven and hell for people he doesn't give a rats a$$ about... I dont want to rule out the possibility of his existence just yet but i can tell you what i am sure of. He doesnt care...so why do we bother
[b]why do we bother .... Well here's a simple answer.

Early man finds himself on earth, has the ability to think, imagine, reason.
So he thinks: "what is life all about?....how did I get here ...how did these animals and plants and earth get here?...so when i eventually die, is that all? I am gone forever? My being? My memories? All laid to waste?" and hundreds of other questions.

as you must know, the human brain is not comfortable with chaos, unsolved patterns, and that sort of thing. So it's only natural for it to try to create a pattern(correct or not)...to seek answers (right or wrong) ..to ameliorate the feeling of confusion.

So in the midst of all these unanswered questions, it's only logical that the god idea was finally created as an answer.... And as a purpose for our otherwise meaningless existence ...and as an escape from the sad truth of mortality ..as hope.

...that's why we care...it's our nature...that's what separates us from lower animals ...we want answers.... We want a purpose.... And a way to escape our mortality.

The Pope meets and smiles with everybody...not just Catholics.
Hitler was antiCatholic as his actions and excommunication prove.
I dont believe God killed anyone. Its you that believes so...and its stupidd to say God doesnt exist but he kills.
And i showed how atheists are the worst mass murderers in history, in response to an ignorant atheist who suggested that religion is the main catalyst for killing.
[b] but Religion has had It's fair share in real killings, not bible stories this time.

Let me cite some examples:

1. The Crusades

The Crusades (mainly 1095-1272)
Rudolph J. Rummel estimates the Crusades killed 1 million innocent civilian men, women and children (not in combat).

The First Crusade
In 1095, Pope Urban II launched the blood-letting of The Crusades.
The capture of Jerusalem, 1099. When they took Jerusalem, the Christian army butchered almost every man, woman and little child in the city.

The Second Crusade
St. Bernard of Clairvaux said when launching the Second Crusade: "The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is glorified."

The genocide of the Cathars (1209–1229)
In 1209, Pope Innocent III called for a crusade to exterminate the Cathar people of France (the Albigensians), simply because they had different superstitious beliefs to his own stupid beliefs. Men, women and children were butchered by the Pope's forces.
Rudolph J. Rummel estimates they butchered 200,000 innocent men, women and children.
Massacre at Béziers (1209)
The Church's War on the Cathars
In 1233, Pope Gregory IX encouraged the extermination of the Stedinger people of Friesland, on the imaginary grounds that they were in league with the (equally-imaginary) Devil. "The devil appears to them in different shapes", said his holiness, "sometimes as a goose or a duck". The entire people were exterminated.
