Thank you for the confession. If it's a place, it's not nothing. Checkmate.

We can conceive of a world in which a god exists. That's true. We can also concieve of a world in which a god doesn't exist..indeed..a world in which nothing exists. People are imaginative.......what's the problem?
A world of stuff in which god doesn't exist is a world of stuff.
A world which nothing exists is nothing. Nonexistence.
This can't be clearer.
If anyone want to argue otherwise, they have a lot of serious explaining to do on how one can differentiate between a "world of nothing" and nonexistence.

Then you agree that it's time to give it up.
Just because the Qur'an talks about warfare doesn't make Islam or its article of faith immoral. I read a lot about this stuff. There is just no total refutation of Islam, least of all a refutation based on verses about how and when to conduct wars, an perennially controversial subject. Islam is a plausible faith for anyone who believes in a God who cares about his creation.
