Rayaan..might I remind you that there are other religions NOt from the middle east who also have their hells and pergatories and such..if what you say is true (that no one would just make it up), then apparently the Norse were right, and Chinese traditional is right as well. Now we have to chose which hell we wish to avoid?
Logically you would want to avoid ALL of them. So how do you avoid it? Worship EVERY god who threatens Hell?
Eventually you come to the conclusion that it is either polytheism of atheism.
Worshipping the "one true god" isnt a guarentee nor is it a protection. It makes you just slightly better off than an atheist in that you have chosen to make one god happy out of thousands.
But what will you say if you find yourself standing in front of Woden and his mighty hall? You call out Allah's name and Thor laughs at you?
I would say CONSISTENCY would be better than choosing sides in this delima. I have consistently chosen to avoid religion because of the conflicting texts. You have decided to take sides and blow the rest of as demons or myths. Im sure other gods would be more furious with people demonizing them as opposed to honestly saying "I dont know".
