Worst moral in the Quran and Holy Bible?

It's amazing that statements such as this are so common.

First, note that simple belief in existence is not belief in context of salvation. As James noted, the demons believe in god, and shudder.

Second, the fact that saving belief removes condemnation does not necessarily indicate (and in the case of Christianity does not indicate) that lack of such belief causes condemnation.

By analogy, suppose someone dents my car. They stand condemned because they dented my car. It costs $200 to repair the car. The person refuses to give me $200. By your logic, the man stands condemned for not giving me $200. However, he was condemned already for denting the car.
