where did i say that i was a christian, im a muslim in the quran there is a judgment day.....STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS!!! it makes u look stupid. damn athiests are really dumb LOL!!
moreover sir, if you know your bible, you should know that there simply cannot be a judgment day. John:4: God is LOVE Corinthians: Definition of love; LOVE does not keep any record of wrongdoing. How can there be a judgment day is there is no record of wrongdoing ? Study your bible, you might learn something.
i still and always will feel sorry for atheists....and let me ask u the same thing why are clinging to life so desprately its cuz u know you will be judged afterward.....poor guys lost
Ireally do feel sorry for you, because your belief is fake. If you are convinced there is such a bliss waiting for you in the afterlife, why do you cling to life like there is NO HEAVEN. Why do you scurry to the hospital like everybody else ? Because deep down you know DEAD is DEAD.

I hope you do find peace in a world, divided largely in part by your religion.
You're lucky though, in the end when you're dead, you'll be numb and oblivious to everything you were wrong about in life.
I'd much prefer though, that you realized how important this life is. It's the only one you get.
John:4: God is LOVE
Corinthians: Definition of love; LOVE does not keep any record of wrongdoing.
