Islam, how much do you really know about it?

no i am serious , its very scary that some alien being would actually make us just to worship him/it/her
You're right, Kai. :)

Such an entity who created us solely to worship them would not only be pride and vain, but one who would send us to hell for not worshipping us borders on evil, if not being evil itself.

I think it is insulting to God/The Supreme/Whatever you want to call it, to say "if you don't believe in my religion, you will die and God will torture you! God is merciful and loving and peaceful". It's blatantly contradictory and makes that deity look like a jerk, really.

i mentioned also that god also says that we are all being tested by Him with regard to our wealth, families, children and social status. this is a test...dont you see;god wats us to see the result of our actions in the hereafter jsut as there are consequences in the world today..... ast ime goes on you are failing.... falling deeper into the hole....inspired by your desires and worldly things which are of no importance....do you not believe in punishment or reward:D

I believe in reward and punishment, just not eternal torture in Jahannam, which I find offensive to God. :)

I agree, God is not cruel. :)
That is why I do not believe in the Islamic hell, where we shall burn for eternity. THAT is cruel. :)

Punishment in eternal torture = not merciful. Execution for murder = merciful. When it continues forever = not.

Why are you Muslims obsessed with killing my family? You guys are starting to creep me out, every time I mention something about hell one of you talks about killing my family. It's not very nice, you know. What have my family done?

What previous posts? :areyoucra

Thank you. :)

But, how am I supposed to believe this hell exists? How am I supposed to believe God is merciful if God can send people to burn in hell forever? My auntie died an atheist, but she was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She donated much money to charity, she helped look after people, etc, and now I'm expected to believe she's going to be tortured for eternity? :-/

calling my god a jerk is certainly not nice....
I'm sorry if you took it offensively.
But, see it from my point of view - if a God would send people to hell for something such as not believing, he is far from merciful.

no one ever mentioned eternel torture, your making up things never mentioned...Allah will punish someone according to what they have done...lets say a man has commited the worst possible crimes;murder,rape,drug dealing,drug use,dealing with weapons,massacres and more....is it fare for him to enter heaven with your angel like aunty...that is not fare...is it? you dont like hell lets see you suggest a reasonable punishment

I'm not making things up, Jahannam is very much stresssed within the Qur'an.
As to a better suggestion, what about eternal death- not being resurrected on the Last Day? :)

What does believing mean to you?
If I do not believe Muhammad is a prophet, in God, in Jesus, in Moses, if I do not believe in the Last Day, in Angels - any of the six articles of belief, then I am not, according to most sheikhs - going to Jannah. Correct? :)

What is belief to me? Not relevant, but I'd say good intentions, belief to me is not having to say "I am a Muslim" and pray five times a day, or "I am a Christian" and going to church every Sunday. Many atheists are better at following God's will than many Muslims, Christians and Jews. :)

Jahannam is very much stresssed within the Qur'an. that is proving allahs mercy and love...proving the fact that he does not want to punish us...he is warning us...so we do not fall into the trap you have fallen in...
