Why do you prefer serial killers?

[Believe Heart]

There are serial killers living among us who choose their targets without any logical reason. Even though it is highly unlikely, you can be one of their victims. Now imagine yourself sitting on a serial killer’s chair, tightly bound and crying not from fear or hopelessness but from excruciating pain. There is really nothing to stop him except watching him parting you piece by piece in unbearable pain.

As a Muslim, I wonder something. God sent hundreds of prophets over thousands of years, from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus to Mohammad. They were all kind, nice, and reliable people who said “We don’t want anything from you; our rewards belong to God.” They all had the same message which you already know very well. However, you didn’t care about them; instead, you hated them, mocked them, and even killed some of them. 

On the other hand, now you are in a chair waiting for death, bound and helpless, you pray to God to save your life. 

The question is: while hundreds of nice and kind prophets of God could not make you believe in Him, how come a serial killer can open your blind eyes and let you see him? In fact, all this time, you were denying the existence of God just because you couldn’t see Him.

Your analogy doesn't work beause apart from countries where you're jailed for being the "wrong" religion, atheists make up a far smaller percentage of the prison population than they do the general population.

If there is a god, then why are atheists more moral than religious?

I am not writing this sentence because I am someone who enjoys being argumentative but, first of all, since the percentage of atheists is considerably lower than that of believers, it is a mathematical fact that a smaller proportion of atheists will be represented among those who enter prison. 

However, there is a main fact that needs to be explained here.

Allah has designed all humans with moral and ethical values. When we are born, we already know the basic concepts of right and wrong. In fact, in the Quran, Allah says "Call the humans to Islam which is the natural characteristic of humans designed by Allah himself. The Quran defines itself as a “reminder”, so it does not construct a new person but rather helps beautiful souls remember their essence and return to themselves.

That’s why some people who are not religious still have personal integrity.
