That puts them one up on Alan Allah. That idiot hasn't been seen since... ever. Which makes threatening someone with it kinda sad and babyish, really.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

When u take the most important test in ur life that is set for mankind, I hope for ur sake ur attitude and view towards it are different than they are now. If u would like more info on what I am referring to I will be more than happy to tell u about it my friend

Not really. I gave up fairytales probably before you were born.

Well, here's a new complication:
the current (6/25/16) issue of Science News reports that the innermost core of the earth has experienced 2 1/2 years less elapsed time over the last 4.5 billion years due to a subtlety in Einsteins general relativity than the earth's surface has.
With the warping of space-time due to the gravitational pull of the earth, clocks run ever so slightly slower at the earth's center than they do at the surface. Now, assuming the inner core is sufficiently coupled to the rest of the planet to not experience any slippage or advance over the surface, we still have a discrepancy in the length of time elapsed at the surface vs the innermost core over the course of a 'year' now.
A further complication will ensue when the number of rotations of the earth in a given arbitrary interval is referenced to the 'fixed stars'. The suns gravitation well will also distort the specific amount of time during a year as noted on earth at a specific gravitational flux level from the sun vs the amount of time elapsed en masse by those distant stars.
Another further complication would be those 'fixed stars' taken in aggregate in a worse case analysis if they were directly in line between the sun and the center of the galaxy or directly opposite, as again those stars closer to the center of the galaxy will experience a different (shorter) elapsed time during the course of an arbitrary earth year as opposed to those stars further from the sun relative to the galaxy's center as they will experience a longer elapsed time during that same year.
And, the galaxy is rotating, throwing off this concept of the 'fixed stars' as they are in a rotating system with a rotation rate of ~ 4 revolutions per billion years, a significant % of the total 4.5 billion years (and 4.5 billion revolutions around the sun X the number of daily rotations accruing each year. More correctly, instead of measuring against the 'fixed stars' the measurements need to be relative to distant quasars, whose motions en masse are not moving tangentially to any direction the earth is turning.
I hope this clears up everything adequately.

I'm sure it's in the magic book somewhere.

Um,
I think Jehovah missed that bit.

Jehovah not anticipating the variable rate of time in a gravitational gradient is significant for those of us in to such things.
Jehovah also being ignorant of the male anal orgasm is of some interest to me too.

Just because we can't see something doesn't mean it's not there. We can't see oxygen, but u know it's there cause u breathe it right? Allah amongst many other things is the same way. He surely is The All-Knowing, The Wise, which definitely means He is in no way idiotic. Nor is He a threat, however He is a real deal promise, and so is the Paradise and Hellfire. If u don't believe in Him as God in this life, I guarantee u will in the Hereafter. So my friend, worship Him alone, seeking His guidance, truth, and forgiveness while u can in this life so He may bless u to be of His successful servants in the next life.

Yeah, Stimbo, just blindly believe. If you have to dramatically lower your IQ to do that, by all means do so.
