RE: Trying to put a "positive" spin on Islam.
Why is life a test anyway?

Its all pointless and void of meaning.
"There is nothing frightening about an eternal dreamless sleep. Surely it is better than eternal torment in Hell and eternal boredom in Heaven." - Isaac Asimov

"The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness." - Vladimir Nabokov

Quote:If you read Quran, you get the notion

That statement is untrue. The best you may say is that YOU personally get the notion that----- just as a great many people get very different things from the Bible.

Yes, I've read the Qur'an

As an aside, I have no real interest in your flaky New Age perspective.
Man is not so much a rational animal as a rationalising one.
