So whosoever is removed away from the Fire and is made to enter Heaven has indeed attained his goal. And the life of this world is nothing but an illusory enjoyment.
And whoso does evil or wrongs his soul, and then asks forgiveness of God, will find God Most Forgiving, Merciful.
And whoso commits a sin, it is only against his own soul. And God is All-Knowing, Wise.
And He is Supreme over His servants, and He sends guardians to watch over you, until, when death comes to anyone of you, Our Messengers take his soul, and they fail not.
And He it is Who has produced you from a single soul and there is for you a temporary resort and a permanent abode. We have explained the Signs in detail for a people who understand.

About Heaven

1. Even if there is a heaven, it seems hella boring. Wouldn't people get sick from harp music after about the first five hours?
2. If there is a heaven, its probably pretty darn polluted from all the toxic wastes produced by humans.
3. A person dies per second. How is Sant Peter gonna talk with each of them?

About Hell

1. What if the person is a masochist and enjoys being punished? Nice job serving your purpose.
2. What's gonna happen when hell becomes overpopulated?
3. What's the point of punishing people for all eternity?

It is said that a Saudi Man, OBL, directed the killings of many innocents in the form of bombs. Timoth McVeigh was responsible for blowing up a building in Oklahoma. Both killed people of many different faiths. Both seem remorseless and would do it again.

Truly pious Muslims do not believe in aggression, only in self-defense, and that we must stop the defense when the attackers are repulsed. Do Christians believe the same? The slaughters of the crusades in which Christian pilgrims murdered Muslims, Jews and Christians alike don't seem to agree with this.
Did you know that in England drawing and quatering was on the books as a punishment until the 19th century? (That's what they did to William Wallace and many, many others.)

Muslims are peace-loving people. It is only propganda that distorts this well-known fact by showing violence and not peaceful behavior. All faiths have sinners. But only our Merciful Lord needs to judge us whereas we need to forgive one another.

Maybe we need a devil concept, so people fear punishement if they reject Jim's religion.

Borrowing from Islam, we can add the threat of death for those who leave Jim's religion and also add in all the Islamic groupthink rituals. That stuff works.

We already have the scripture. Anything Morrison wrote blows away the Quran, so its real easy to point to his work and claim its from God...all you need are stupid people who hold God to a super low standard of intelligence, you know, people who think God wrote stuff like:

Quran 20:53 "he (allah) who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out" http://www.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/020.qmt.html#020.053

Wicca continues to fascinate me. Everyone I've met who's Wiccan is younger than 30, college educated, and pretty open-minded.

So why would people become Wiccan instead of just being irreligious like most of generations X and Y? I thought it was hip and trendy, but people told me it's not. But I'm curious about the appeal...

Not to be insulting... But what's the point? What do you get from Wicca? Do you literally believe in spells and whatnot or is it more about the rituals and activities?

In this R+S section, I read this as an answer somewhere:

"Most of the atheists I've talked with say that they don't believe in God only because they don't want to be accountable to some higher being"

They showed up a month ago. The next week they showed up again. The week after that they showed up twice. The next week after that, they showed up 3 times, three separate guys.

They know that my husband is Catholic, and I am Methodist, so...why do they keep showing up.....at 8am.....on weekend mornings?
