Muslims are raised in constant and graphic fear of hellfire. When a sinner's flesh is all burned away she/he will be given new flesh so the agony can continue for eternity.
Heaven or hell is decided after death based on the balance of good and bad deeds.
Muslims who fear that their balance sheet is in deficit can get a "go straight to heaven, do not pass go" card through martyrdom. Young men who have not lived good Islamic lives are especially vulnerable to this sort of delusion.
Apologists who claim that a violent Islamist was "not a real Muslim" because they were known to drink and smoke don't understand this deadly arithmetic.

Pale.Emperor Meets A Born Again Christian
by pale.emperor inof all the religions out there one religion that's always filled me with exasperation was the born again christian belief system.
to make matters worse, the street preachers i see and hear here in liverpool always tend to be crack pot, loud mouths, attention seeking and just plain annoying.. this idea that "im going to heaven, you're going to hell" is enough to make me not want to worship their god even if he did exist.
but today i met two.

You handled that really well. The guy with the big mouth should be careful. If somebody complains about his anti-gay rants he could be charged with a hate crime. Free speech no longer exists in Europe.

Unshakled - the Watchtower did not turn me off religion. Consideration of the facts led me to disbelief.

Yes, humans can. Nature is only returning all the harm humans inflicted on it. - venus
Tsunamis have no connection with human activity. They are caused by the sudden release of pressure between tectonic plates deep below the ocean - pressure that has been building for thousands of years.
animals could sense in advance and moved to safer places just before the 2004 Asian tsunami
That is like saying if we only tried harder we could fly around safely at night like a bat.
Why are people who pretend to be the most spiritual often the most callous - as well as being profoundly ignorant?

No other religion is as guilty as JW religion—you know why?
by venus inall other religions have myths that show satan as inferior to god almighty.
but only jw religion portrays satan more powerful than god through their teaching of “issue of sovereignty” which implies god almighty needs validation from satan as though he waits till satan is satisfied which has not happened even after killing of jesus 2000 years ago and things like ethnic cleansing, spilling of oceans of blood ….
etc..

The fact that God is not doing anything to remove suffering is not a problem for me to disbelieve in Him because we all know humans are capable of removing suffering - Venus
No we don't all know that. Humans can do nothing to prevent a tsunami or even predict it more than a few minutes in advance. If you are defining "god" as the creator of earth then he murdered a quarter of a million men, women and children in the 2004 Asian tsunami. He is a moral monster.
Of course your definition of god is so vague you will wiggle out of this dilemma with more ambiguous, self-aggrandising waffle.

So much vacuous and callous waffle in your posts Venus I can't muster the enthusiasm to even start to refute it.
If you are curious about why I called it callous let me know.
