I still think its a bit of a harsh punishment for muslims to give christians since the religions are so similar to each other, it means that stalin actually has a higher chance of going to heaven than the local village priest.(February 27, 2013 at 10:30 pm)paulpablo Wrote: As far as i can tell the punishment for shirk in islam is hell, forever, and will not be forgiven by allah.That doesn't make any sense, if a Christian converts to Islam they will have all their previous sins forgiven, including the sin of shirk.
Also that christianity is a form of shirk.
This being the case why would any christian convert to islam? Surely for a christian realizing the quran is the ultimate truth it would be a pretty depressing time, you just realized you're definitely going to hell forever.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
