Can't say I disagree with you about the potential harm of faith, or that people should carefully and rationally consider their beliefs.

nope they can not.
They can't be right and wrong,
They can't be negro and white at the same time.
Your beliefs can be true or false there is no midway between them.

Nonsense. It's somewhat false to believe a tomato is a vegetable. It's very false to believe it's a suspension bridge.

They affect your readers, imbecile. Maybe whatever you meant to say makes sense. That would be more clear if you could communicate whatever it is accurately.
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!

I will place - and even take - bets on the outcome of BH doing that.

Try to think this.
The prophet is really a prophet, therefore, you will go to hell or he is a liar and you won't. There is no way between them. If there is, tell me the other possibility.

I know, just figured I'd point it out. I mean, I think his underlying statement is that there's some objective reality. Things can be true or false with respect to it. If that's it - obvs, I agree.

Is that it?

Let's run with that. If your prophet is the real deal...I'll go to hell. If he isn't the real deal I might still go to hell - any number of other gods and prophets could be maintaing their own little s&m dungeons in the hereafter. Heavy on the s, light on the m..ofc. Or, maybe, your prophet (or anyone's prophet...really) could be the real deal and I won't go to hell even so.

- to all of this..I say...and? There are any number of ways the scenario can play out, you gave two... but none of them seem to have anything to do with me, particularly, and I doubt that I could stop some silly god from doing whatever it wanted to do with me.

Another possibility: The Prophet wasn't lying, just wrong, therefore I won't go to hell.

Another possibility: The Prophet was truly a prophet, but the compilers of the Quran left out the bit where God appreciates honest doubt.

Another possibility: The Quran is no different than any other 'holy' book, and I'll end up in Valhalla drinking goat meat smoothies.

Possibilities are endless.
