It is nothing new. Fundamentalist Christians everywhere regurgitate the same old chyme everyday. That is all Islam is. Regurgitated slop from the Old and New Testament. Ever been to a Baptist or Pentacostal funeral? Probably not , but your post sounds exactly like the eulogy you would hear at such an occasion. Change a few words of course. Nothing special.
There is no hell in the OT.

Uhm... That is not an argument, nor an excuse. Those are in fact TWO questions. And the answers are pretty simple:
1. I don't know that god exists and neither do you.
2. Exactly. I wouldn't search for existence of god. It's a futile pursuit of fantasy, for people who desperately want to be some sky-daddy's little b*tches and thereby avoid responsibility for their own lives.

...Aaand you lost me. If I need your book of nonsense, in order to know why I should search for your imaginary friend then obviously - I don't need your god, or your book. It's an obvious scam - the same book, that invents the "problem" - offers the "solution". Yeah, thanks, but the way I see it - if I stay away from the damn Quran, I have no need for Allah. And vice versa.
