I've met more buddhists who've seen the buddhist hell when they have NDE or nightmares than I have seen Christians claim the same. Plenty of them have had prophetic dreams involving one of the buddhist deities. You're just like them, only a different god. Interestingly, muslims have never claimed this, at least the ones I know, I haven't had a muslim tell me that allah told them something, they mostly just quote the qur'an, maybe because the qur'an says mohammed is the last prophet, so they think they're not supposed to receive information directly from god, so they don't.
Yes I was raised in the so called Bible belt of the southern U.S. Yet it would not matter, the experiences I've had with God assures me in a knowledge He is the only God. I also am one who does not speculate on what ifs, to me that's a waste of time, those what ifs did not happen in my life, and there is no reason to dwell on such things that did not happen.
Maybe the Muslims do not hear from god because their god is not real, they claim the God of Abraham, yet their religion evolved out of a moon god. Look at their flag, it's a crescent moon with a star inside the crescent. The moon is the mother and the star is the son in the moon worship and the sun is the father, yet they ignore the sun on their flag. The original Buddha did not teach hell, it was a religion of ascension from one lived life to the next until you attained buddha, or at least I think it's that way. Reincarnation without a true god seems impossible, how would a dead man bring himself back to life as another.
Quote:It isn't justice if it serves no purpose. Justice serves a purpose, that's why it's present in all society, in some form or another.
If you believe what you've said above, then why would you deny justice to God's society and why would you deny His type of justice, is this for you to judge?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
