    Peace StopS.

    Plain and simple. I die along with all humanity, because we are returning back to our creator for accountability.

    Peace.

      Excellent, I love your approach and your set of questions. Can you answer these for yourself too? Why do you die and your excuse etc?

      I die because my cells don't reproduce properly.

      Are you sure you will die when your cells don't reproduce properly, or could it be that you cells are perfectly capable of reproducing, but you die because your time is up.

      • oh absolutely not. I will never have such a good time again

      How old are you?

      I have not been provided any evidence, why should I be punished for that?
      Like I said

      If a god is omniscient, he will know what evidence I require.
      If a god is omnipotent, he can provide the evidence I require.
      If a god is merciful, he will provide the evidence I require.

      At your service is shaytan, not God

        OK, and then?

        What will be your excuse when you face your creator?

        If you think you are not accountable, What is the alternative?

        Is everything that happens in this life a waste of time?

        Do you think about your actions/your way of life?

        Or do you have an excuse?

        You opted for freedom of choice in this life. God is letting you choose. The decision is yours! Excuses will not be accepted!

        Is there a day of Resurrection?

        Will you meet your Lord?

        If so , What excuse do you have?

            Can I ask the people here a question?

            Would you follow Islam (or any other faith) if 1. There is no heaven as a reward 2. There was no hell as a punishment?

              Thank you for this important reminder!
              I agree with you dear brother handshake

              I don't think any creator would have a problem with people discussing different point of views.

              By the way, the word Kafir fascinates me. It is a unique word. There is none like it in the world. It deserves a whole book. So many injustices and atrocities have been done just because of that one word.

                    YES, of course! For the mere love of God! yes
                    O God please increase my love for you despite reward of paradise or punishment of hell!
                    Let my love for You be the most important thing in my life forever!
                    My simple desire is to be the dust under His Feet!

                      Yes as my belief in God's existence is not dependent on heaven and hell which I will elaborate on later. Afterlife is what I believe in. This life is what is real to me. The Koran basically is a good book of guidance in this life that I have come to appreciate. Speaking from personal experience.

                        It fascinates me because it is used to dismiss or put down non-believes, as our friend Godsubmitter here who told everyone not to bother with me because I am a Kafir and not worthy. It fascinates me because it has been used by Muslims to justify atrocities towards non-believers. But it really started to fascinate me after the Egyptian revolution, when Islamists began using it against anyone who disagrees with them or their policies. If you vote against them you are a Kafir, if you criticize their policies you are a kafir, if you disagree with their interpretation of Islam, you are a Kafir, if you are a Christian, you are a kafir. One of the saddest moments in my life was when I was attending a memorial for a Christian boy who was shot dead by the army, and a Salafist interrupted by saying that the boy is not a martyr/shahid because he is a Christian and Kafir.
                        Kafir kafir kafir. You cannot escape from that word in Egypt. It's on every TV channel, radio station and newspaper you read. For Muslims, the word has become like spit, they gather it up in their mouths, swirl it around their tongue and then spew it out at anyone they dislike.

                          It doesn't fascinate me. It sickens me.

                            Hi StopS
                            You are not the type who shies away so why did you ignore my very vaild question?
                            Let me put it differently Does one die only when one's cells stop reproducing properly, or could it be that death can come at any time and for many reasons?
                            Add to that a further question You are having best time of your life but what about those who died before reaching same age as you and never got to enjoy their best time of life on this earth?
                            Do you ever give a second thought to them and to how they could be compensated?
                            Please don't ignore me

                              My reward lies in pleasing the one I love and my punishment is the feeling that I've upset the One I love. Does that make me a self centered person?
                              I would say yes as my self belongs to the One who fashioned me and made mankind the best of His creations, I strive to live up to that expectation. pr

                                Are you sure you will die when your cells don't reproduce properly, or could it be that you cells are perfectly capable of reproducing, but you die because your time is up.

                                Why would I give something a spiritual mumbo-jumbo when nature is perfectly explained? The time is up is undefined, implausible, vague - and wrong.

                                "Aging at the molecular level is characterized by the progressive accumulation of molecular damage caused by environmental and metabolically generated free radicals, by spontaneous errors in biochemical reactions, and by nutritional components. Damages in the MRS and other pathways lead to age-related failure of MRS, molecular heterogeneity, cellular dysfunctioning, reduced stress tolerance, diseases and ultimate death."

                                Do you have proof for this statement?

                                Are you suggesting I misunderstood the attributes of and for a god?

                                  In South Africa it was a highly derogatory word stemming from the apartheid era, denoting a second class citizen with black skin.

                                    This was a wrong quote outline. good logic asked me a set of questions. I answered them and asked him whether he would answer the same questions. He did not and side-stepped the issue. So you are seeing the "out of context" question I asked.

                                    I answered your question. Yes I do and I reckon most do have a good time. If a person does not it is a biological failing. In the belief of a theist it is probably due to his or her god having taken a decision to have that person suffer.
                                    Compensated? For what? By whom? We are just naturally badly "designed" and have to accept that we are born to die and some organic matter survives longer, some shorter and some thrives and some withers.

                                      Listen @confused, I now realize that you are really confused indeed!
                                      The way you think of that word and the way those people in your pathetic example use that word is just the proof that mainstream Islam, (as any other man-made religion for that matter), is actually of Satanic fabrication!
                                      On the other hand, my point is very simple e.g. a source cannot spring both salty and sweet water, it is either one or another, same as a fig tree will never bear grapes as a fruit!
                                      In that sense one is either a believer or a disbeliever, and there are no grey shades, it is verily either black or white!
                                      My whole statement was just that one is either a believer or disbeliever, as I wrote in my original reply to your thread a few posts before!

                                        This was a wrong quote outline. good logic asked me a set of questions. I answered them and asked him whether he would answer the same questions. He did not and side-stepped the issue. So you are seeing the "out of context" question I asked.

                                        Hi StopS
                                        Thank you for replying to my questions, I note that you do not wish to be quoted "out of context" and hope you would apply the same rule to others.

                                        Yes I do and I reckon most do have a good time. If a person does not it is a biological failing. In the belief of a theist it is probably due to his or her god having taken a decision to have that person suffer.

                                        A little girl who was about to enter a sweet shop was shot in a crossfire between two gangs,.... where do you see a biological failing in such a situation ???
                                        Ah now I see it! How badly "designed" she was. The girl should have been designed according to YOUR standards just like a robot, where if you can take the bullet out and reconnect all the parts and off she goes, on and on and on, ! the gansters too should have been designed to hit the right target at the right time and place... Perfect.

                                        Compensated? For what? By whom? We are just naturally badly "designed" and have to accept that we are born to die and some organic matter survives longer, some shorter and some thrives and some withers.

                                        Who is that Designer than -\

                                          Thank you.

                                          Yours is a spiritual explanation, where I was looking more for a logical line of thought.

                                          Well of course!
                                          It is a spiritual question after all, isn't it?
                                          Don't you see?
