You did good! Allow people to think for themselves. You're no sinner; you're a martyr!

You have not sinned like Osama or Hitler or Pol Pot.........C'mon wake up to reality man!!
You can never hurt any sensible man just by posing questions. Yes, if he doesn't have an answer he may become agitated by your question. But then that's his problem; you've nothing to fear or repent for.
Actually, when you ask a question which is incapable of a logical answer the person feels humiliated. Thus, he takes his revenge on you by swearing at you. But a sensible man will talk and sort out your doubts.
Remember that nowhere in the Scriptures is asking Questions a crime or a sin. In fact, slaying innocent people's blood is, theiving, and raping helpless women is.

You didn't hurt me. But then, I'm not that thin skinned. Try being a better person, don't do whatever it was that you did, and live by example. Regardless of religion or faith, being a good and decent person now and from now on is more important than the past. Forgive yourself and maybe others will forgive you, too.
If you can't do that, then do some sort of penance by volunteering to help out charities, the homeless, or something beneficial in your community.

most enlightenment comes through turmoil. Saul persecuted the early Christian church and killed disciples and leaders, and he came out pretty good, being renamed Paul.
It is a good thing to have your faith challenged. It is like the Master Yeshua Messiah's parable about the seed - some falls on rocks, some in weeds, and the best take root in good ground - meaning us. Faith is always being tested -that's life - and there is nothing wrong with questioning anything as long as it's not just for hate or spite.
Anybody who truly believes should not only not be shaken at hard questions - but they should be able to answer them.

The Qur'an gives the prescription: "If anyone does evil or wrongs his own soul, but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah is -Forgiving, Most Merciful."(al-Nisa; 4:110). Islam teaches repentance, stopping evil ways, feeling sorry for for what one has done, and determining to follow the path of Allah as much as humanly possible. . The Qur'an puts it clearly: "But My Mercy extends to all things."(al-A'raf; 7:156
Adam "atoned" for his sin by saying "My Lord I have sinned and if you do not forgive me and have mercy upon me then I shall indeed have lost." So God forgave him. Similarly, all human beings have the door to forgiveness left open to them by God

you need to apologise to the PEOPLE you sinned against, not god! and you need to be truly repentant, not just eager to relieve yourself of guilt. when you sin against god, you ask god's forgiveness. when you sin against humanity, you ask humanity's forgiveness. when you sin against both... you can see where i'm going with this.
