Religion Thread

sarcasm alert
obviously every religion that has a day of judgement treats disbelievers as equals... they also go to heaven and as believers we just waste our time and should have just "lived life to the fullest" as a disbeliever would do because all religions are correct whether they contradict within themselves or not...  

I really don't get the mentality of other people. do they expect hell to be a pit where there are no trees or beautiful plants and that's it? Or do they expect that whether you believe in a certain religion is true or not that you'll enter paradise all the same? What's the use of believing then?
I've been reading all these comments quoting how hell would be like in the Hereafter. If you don't want to go there why don't you try to go to heaven instead?
"Oh damn... the punishment in that religion is too harsh. I'll follow another religion whether true or not that doesn't have a hell that's as scary as that. Disbelievers must be shown kindness in the hereafter." That already shows how NOT serious you are about religion lol.
 
When you enter religion you must believe wholeheartedly. You cannot just leave it. As a Muslim, you have to aim for the best reward and without punishment in the hellfire.

"But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down on their heads, Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish, they would go forth from thence they are driven back therein and (it is said unto them): Taste the doom of burning."

Quran: 22-19-22

Religion of peace.

Just found this. I found it a bit funny.

this is obviously hell and you cant expect good thing to happen in hell do you now?

Reguardless, there's nothing peaceful about it, is there?

[Royal Freakiness]

it's a warning to disbelievers about what will happen to them in the hereafter... Prophet Muhammad came to us as a warner. Should he warn us about paradise? 
obviously hell will not be peaceful.

This is not promoting violence my friend, this is merely showing the consequences of ones actions.
Don't be a hypocrite, i'm sure if you believe in the after life, you know theres some form of aftermath to disobidence to God.
If your going to be ignorant about this then i find you funny

it also means that people of other confessions are doomed - since they disbelieve in your god

btw - how come are you muslim? if you live on philipinnes - where most people are catholic as a result of spanish rule - just asking - take it easy

[Royal Freakiness]

Because I try to follow the truth, and I believe the Truth is found in Islam. It really doesn't matter where you live or where you're from, you can be a Muslim. It has nothing to do with race.
and also I was born in Saudi Arabia and lived there for 16 years
you can find a lot of Muslims here in Philippines too, but yeah, majority are catholics

I said it was the religion of peace not that it promotes violence ;)
Is it necessary to put all that detail? It could have said something like 'To those that disbelieve will recieve immense punishment'.

without the detail, ppl will overlook it and think that it might not be that bad. then on the day of judgement, when they will be punished as described, they would be like:
    give me another chance to do it over again!

that's why the Prophet Muhammad was sent as a mercy to mankind, bringer of glad tidings to those who believe, and a warner to those who don't.

[L_I_S]

But the word 'immense' should give you the general idea that it will be very bad...
If you overlook it, don't they deserve the punishment for ignoring the warning?

[Royal Freakiness]

it's not just warning the non-muslims
warning the muslims who hardly act upon Islam

and anyways, is there a problem if it's written in the Qur'an? I mean if that's where non-believers are going then what's wrong if you describe it? that should serve as clearer warning that if you don't believe you know what punishment awaits you. It's making sure ppl will be horrified of Allah's punishment.
It's kinda like when a teacher says, "If you misbehave you will be expelled." It's scarier than, "If you misbehave you will receive immense punishment." They won't really get what's really scary if you don't know how you'll punish him.
I remember a comment in this forum saying that heaven will be boring if there's no work, it's better hell, at least you get something new and have more entertainment... or somewhere along those lines.
That just shows you there are ppl in this world who think life and hereafter is just a complete joke.

To be honest, I think the latter sounds much more scary.
Let's look at another aspect. Why is fear necessary? I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in fear that I'll be torchured because I'm not allowed to believe in anything other than what a book/messenger/God etc tells me to.

Another question. In the Christian Orthodox belief(as far as I am aware of), anyone can enter paradise because they are judged on their conditions.(example:Growing up in a country where there is no money for religious teaching's. That person might never have the chance to read a holy book, therefore never going to go to paradise/heaven. But in Christian Orthodox beleif, that person can)
Does the Qur'an specify about anything like that?
