Quote:6. Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.
7. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allah's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.

That is some evil shit right there. That's all I need to keep the hell away from that religion.
The seal is forged upon their heart, because of their actions and the way they used their brains.
These explain furthermore:
Sura 74
( 11 ) Leave Me with the one I created alone
( 12 ) And to whom I granted extensive wealth
( 13 ) And children present [with him]
( 14 ) And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
( 15 ) Then he desires that I should add more.
( 16 ) No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
( 17 ) I will cover him with arduous torment.
( 18 ) Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
( 19 ) So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
( 20 ) Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
( 21 ) Then he considered [again];
( 22 ) Then he frowned and scowled;
( 23 ) Then he turned back and was arrogant
( 24 ) And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
( 25 ) This is not but the word of a human being."
( 26 ) I will drive him into Saqar.
( 27 ) And what can make you know what is Saqar?
( 28 ) It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
( 29 ) Blackening the skins.
( 30 ) Over it are nineteen [angels].
It's all about how you think it out. The mentality that is refusing the truth, is a mentality that is not welcome at all in heaven.
I always thought that such verses were harsh, but it is when I saw nuclear weapons is when I realized how sane and logical such verses are. The heritage of ignoring religion, that is. The conclusion of the seal that non-believers forced upon themselves with their own actions. Why await guidance from God, when one is so dedicated to keep moving deeper and deeper in the mist?
The seal, is originating from our actions, forged by our streams of thought; for God to force it, does not mean he influnced our "thinking & deliberation".
