"As for those who have rejected (these truths), it is all the same whether or not you warn them, for they will not believe. Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and a covering has fallen over their eyes. They deserve severe chastisement." (Al-Baqara, verses 6-7)
Seriously Ray, do you really believe that all of us non-believers are to be punished, just because we didn't believe in a thing that couldn't be proved? If the Quaran states that there indeed are 'truths', please prove them to us, as to avoid this horrible faith that awaits us. Otherwise, don't say that our eyes were sealed because of your god, but opened because we saw something more.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
