Seems to me that if you have something you want to talk about you'd find an audience that gives a shit. Guess you are here to hear yourself talk. We simply don't care.

If there is an all powerful creator of the universe, I doubt humanity registers as more than, "oh, there are two legged bugs on that blue planet now. I wonder what happened to the four legged ones?"

With those whole cosmos at it's fingers, we probably don't even register that level of interest.

Billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars, spread out across millions of light years and beyond, as well as a possible multiverse, and a species on a small ball of rock in an out-of-the-way spiral arm of an insignificant galaxy is important to it?

Yeah, right!
Dying to live, living to die.

Big mistake: you don't know who might care & who might not, in other words this verse:


Quote:Sura 6, The Quran:
https://quran.com/6:70?store=false&translations=

And leave those who take their religion as amusement and diversion and whom the worldly life has deluded. But remind with it [i.e., the Qur’ān], lest a soul be given up to destruction for what it earned; it will have other than Allah no protector and no intercessor. And if it should offer every compensation, it would not be taken from it [i.e., that soul]. Those are the ones who are given to destruction for what they have earned. For them will be a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment because they used to disbelieve.

— Saheeh International

So it's a mere reminding that once upon a time, an Arab called "Mohammed PBUH" said these words, and claimed there is a celestial being who revealed them to him, ironically he mentioned stuff so similar to our modern discoveries about the Cosmos, and time after time what he said proved to be....true !
A mere reminder.

Yeah, right!

Humans proved that very small organisms can devastate whole races; viruses are the proof. 
Our small size as humans is not an indication of anything other then the "superiority" of God.  The Billions of stars are another indication that the maker of all of this is supreme.

But unlike humans, his mercy engulfs the inferior tiny creations.

Too bad you don't worship a god able to speak for itself.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Yeah, so you aren't trying to convert people, but you're hoping that your words might steer someone to salvation. How can you be so stupid as not to see that those are the same thing?

He spoke to humanity in the new testament, and every muslim has rejected what he said. He spoke to humanity in the old testament, and every christian has rejected what he said.

On and on it goes.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No he didn't; the New Testament was written 100 years after Jesus Peace BUH's death, it is similar to the Islamic Hadith in nature: mere recording of the "stories said by Jesus's followers"; not attributed to him at all.

The new testament is Paul's word; not Jesus's word. Just like Bukhari and Muslim are the words of "Bukhari & Muslim"; not Mohammed.

You're a nutjob. We have about as much reason to believe Mohammed on Allah via Gabriel as we do Jesus via the Gospels. Just more of your bullshit double standards.
