That's the sort of shit that could convert me. But, of course, none of that's happened.
Ok so just to clarify you wouldn't believe in islam if every year angels visited earth spoke to you personally and showed you miracles and telepathically told you islam is correct along with doing this with every other individual person on earth, and the quran was magically transformed by them each year to be politically correct and all deviations, mistakes from translations were put right?
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.
