Islam is the death of the right and the left.  Islam is the death of modern society.

Well Richard Dawkins was in the Lib Dem conference a few months back and he said he has always voted for the Liberal Democrats.

Sorry Richard...we Americans simply don't care about what you and your very boring country think... :-( And whenever there is another World War, don't worry! The Christian nation will save your pussy ass country again! :-)

It is the truth my dear...

@salam2323able Sorry but now you're mixing ideals with reality. Yes, it's ideal that a good person gets rewarded when he dies and a bad person gets punished. But just because it's a nice thought, doesn't mean it's the actual truth.

[Warmijwilf]

@salam2323able I don't like it when people assume all Muslims are terrorists either, don't worry. :)

I just don't see Islam as a completely peaceful religion. Maybe that's how it's intended, but a lot of things in the Qu'ran (and the Bible too to be fair) are pretty... well, not peaceful.

@salam2323able This planet has not been designed for us. 70% of it is undrinkable salt water. Of the remaining land, most of it is either too hot, too cold, too dry, or too high. About 1% of the earth's surface is habitable without needing to wear clothes or construct roofs over our heads. We have a turbulent and violent weather system that attacks people randomly. We are under constant attacks from diseases and 25,000 children die from malnutrition from unpredictable weather systems, each day.

@saundersDave11 I feel sorry for you. Look around you, this world is perfect look at every single detail in it. isn't that enough for you? Heaven and Hell do exist. You are saying that whatever we do in this life, good or bad, it doesn't matter because we are all just going to die. No, a good person who has done good deeds in his or her life gets rewarded by heaven. And the same goes for a bad person that has more sins than good deeds, that person goes to hell. How could you possibly deny?

@salam2323able I believed in it when I was a child, because that's what I'd been taught at school. As I got older, I realised that there's nothing to suggest this is true, because there's never been evidence of God anywhere, ever. There's no heaven or paradise after we die. Just like the other animals on this planet, and like our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago (ie Cro-Magnon Man, Neanderthals, Homo Erectus), we go back to the same state as we did before we were born: not existing.
