Please provide your own comments and thoughts rather than blindly quoting. This is a discussion forum, not a room for religious poster ads.

Quote from the Koran:
191. "Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (with the thought): "Our Lord! Not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the Chastisement of the Fire."

Why is it that God/Allah/man has to threaten us mere mortals with torture in order to believe this crap? Because we may realise the utter nonsense of religion.

Dear Friend;

This is test world for us.

God only wants from you,beliving and saying "thanks" to him(you are using "him",but God isn't man or woman)

İs this crap?

İf a man giving you cars,money,health,nice house.......are you not saying thanks?

Don't kill, don't fight,don't speaking bad ......these are crap ?

Best regards.

Best regards.

Aha, discussion, I love it

You seem to imply here that we should say thanks to god since he gives us things?

I would argue this point, as no god I am aware of directly gives any individual anything measurable.

If a god was responsible for this, then it would follow that god is also directly responsible for NOT allowing others to have those items.

If this IS what you are implying, I would love to explore that at greater length.

Why yes it is. You clearly have failed the test by ignoring the look & smell of crap & going on ahead to take bites & then further to make a diet of it. Being an equal opportunity offender, I tell you the Bible is crap, the Vedas are crap, the Quran is crap, LaoTzu's I Ching is crap, the Book of Morman is crap, the Urantia Book is crap, and any & all written works claiming some invisible oober powerful creature dictated it, is...well, crap.

Have a nice day yourself.

The heart of the matter, if something of an understatement, seems to have been caught with, "God only wants from you,beliving [and saying "thanks"]". God doesn't just "want" you to believe, god requires it, without that belief god simply doesn't exist. So it's not surprising that god is prepared to use all manner of threats and enactments of violence in his quest to be believed in, like anything else, he's desperate to survive. But having been believed into existence, rather than expressing gratitude himself, god starts demanding gratitude from those very same believers. Pretty uppity, I suggest god be put in his place by threats of non-belief, get god on his knees begging, for a change.
