At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Too disgusting and bitter, it signifies something.
And too good sometimes, it also signifies something.
Yes, and that "something" is nature, not a fictional sky wizard. The good and bad humans go through are not the result of mythology and old unscientific books. Life does have good and bad in it, but none of the good or bad is a result of magic.
The long term science proves that humans in cosmic time don't matter. What is significant is the time we have now. No it isn't sexy to think about, but accepting our finite ride DOES have the benefit of focusing on the time we do have. Accepting reality is about giving up on old and bad claims. Questioning social norms is why we no longer believe the earth is flat, and why nobody believes in Apollo.
I promise you you won't get smited, or smoted, and there is no hell to be threatened with. Try considering that you got it wrong. That was then, this is now. It was understandable that people made those bad claims back then, but we have advance since then. It is ok to give up on old claims.
There was never a god of any label, all god claims in our species history are merely the product of human's projecting their own qualities on non existent things.
Sura 81 ( 1 ) When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] ( 2 ) And when the stars fall, dispersing, ( 3 ) And when the mountains are removed ( 4 ) And when full-term she-camels are neglected ( 5 ) And when the wild beasts are gathered ( 6 ) And when the seas are filled with flame
Our world will cease to see the sun. Stars would indeed fall and cease to exist; too. The seas would be filled with flames.
Sura 39 ( 68 ) And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.
It's the events that follow the blow of the horn that signals the end, which is actually a beginning
Sura 21 ( 104 ) The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.
Then
Sura 69 ( 13 ) Then when the Horn is blown with one blast ( 14 ) And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow - ( 15 ) Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur, ( 16 ) And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm. ( 17 ) And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them]. ( 18 ) That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
That is the day. That is the hour. Why did you think life; this life; was so fast? Why do children die? why do people get born crippled and handicapped? why do people get born with mountains of gold? why do people are born so hungry?
Born naked and small, grow grow grow, then die out like the leaves of a tree. Can't you smell that day, coming? that hour?
We are being tested, nothing more, nothing less.
Sura 91 ( 7 ) And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
( 8 ) And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,
( 9 ) He has succeeded who purifies it, ( 10 ) And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
At the heavy day, we will get the severe punishment, or the high price. We either win or lose.
Did life manage to fool you? ask yourself why your loved ones always leave?? They always die so fast!
Fun stuff also go away so fast. The more beautiful something is, the more quickly it ends. And all of us move to the heavy day, we never slow.
Remember way waaay back to that Muslim dude who always posted like this. Anyone remember his name?
There is arguments I can make for the day of judgement. But usually whenever we discuss such arguments, people, are always going back to square 1, in which it's asked why to believe in God, spirit, soul, etc, in the first place.
I wanted to discuss proofs of Prophethood and Guiding Leadership on behalf of God in general, and the particular proof of religion of Islam. But again, people are not willing to go past square 1 which is about whether or not we have good reasons to believe in God/soul, etc.
I've been busy with university and going to the gym. This is why I'm not posting much on the forums.
I do plan on making youtube videos soon that will be a series of arguments about God, then oneness of God, then Prophethood and revelation, and particular arguments about specific religion and what it must have, then Leadership and guidance on behalf of God within that religion and the negation of all authority besides that of God's.
I think I can explain things better and shorter and more concise in words, then in writing. We'll see.

Lol no. I could never forget that sweetie pie
I'll tell you what, if you ever can convince me I am deluded in any shape or form about my faith in God and religion, I will visit you one day. That's a promise.
