There is a lot to be discussed, because, this is a central theme of why people reject Islam from my experience.
I think thinking emotionally, we can do away with justice. But when thinking with clarity, there is no escaping that we are coming to either an evil end or a good end.
And this shows I don't believe in hell due to Islam but rather belief in hell is necessary for me to believe in Islam.
The belief in religion is not non-falsifiable, one wrong teaching proven with certainty, and everything comes crumbling down.
And the proof for a religion without a present manifest Guide to present physical miracles is tough on everyone for sure.
I feel if I can prove why I believe in hell, people will gain a lot of insight on to reflect over scripture and religions, whether they believe in them or not.
Or at least give both sides their proper due in reflection.
It was a good poem. Shows talent. Shows introspection.
But MK -- why should we care why people reject Islam or any other religion? The vast majority of us here (Except Atlas and other theists) have "been there, done that" already with Christianity. You can pontificate all you want about why you've apparently "gone back", but the atheists here don't believe a hell exists, a god exists, any satan exists, or a soul, or ghosts, or angels, or leprechauns or unicorns or vampires or Tinkerbell. We've done our own research, we're educated adults, and we don't need your fantasies. If you're going to pontificate and preach, you really should go to a Muslim board where at least people believe a deity exists.
Belief in hell is necessary for you to believe in Islam??? Oh good grief. The very concept of hell is absurd - evil - illogical - unfair . . . just for a small start, as you once knew.
