You are more likely to achieve peace for your family and community. None .. unless they have good reason for it. ..be peaceful .. salam w'alaikum :) Yes, it is possible .. but it has no benefit unless it is a 'just war'. ..and therein lies the problem. Who says whether it is just? I guess it...

I am not "contesting your beliefs" .. which is why I asked for your opinion. ..and I assumed your opinion would be that of "Left Hand Path". Would you like me to delete my post?

I have no theory.. ..but I believe in life after physical death, and that people will not be wronged. We will reap what we sow .. much like as in this life, with the caveat that our deeds can no longer be hidden.

It's not borne out in reality .. ..it's like some sort of "fairyland" where all live happily ever after.

.. so you are an atheist .. OK. ..whatever that is.. Do you believe in souls?

satan is a being, like you or I. he is described in Scripture as envious of human-kind and rebellious. There are many satans in this universe .. and like the original accuser (satan), did not start off as one. However, I'm aware that you hold your own opinion regards satan in Abrahamic...

..reminds me of the "spam song" (Monty Python) Nah .. homemade meat-loaf is the real deal.

It is for the evangelicals. Those who do not 'believe in Jesus' will cease to exist. OK We all know that G-d is Holy, perfect. ..but I don't see G-d as a person who sentences people to eternal punishment. ..or sentences people to eternal paradise, for that matter. We reap what we sow .. it's...

..so I'm forced to live forever, if I believe in Jesus Christ? What I'm trying to point out, is that the doctrine of conditional immortality assumes that people would want to live forever. Clearly many people do not .. the suicide rates are increasing. Rich people often want to live forever ...

Yes .. I'm familiar with the concept.. conditional immortality is a concept in which the gift of immortality is attached to (conditional upon) belief in Jesus Christ. -wikipedia-

..conditional upon what? ..wouldn't what?

..because I get sick of people in Abrahamic religions claiming "they are the only ones" etc. ..just like magic .. "bang, and the dirt is gone" :) ..perhaps you can tell me why I should want to live forever? .. if I have a choice, that is. Indeed..

OK .. so there is no life after death then, is that what you mean? No, you don't mean that .. you mean that you consider it reasonable that life after death is only for 'the chosen ones'. :rolleyes:

Do you need proof? If souls could somehow be destroyed, I would prefer to be destroyed (blotted out). What one does not know, one cannot miss! 😑 No .. one needs both the carrot and the stick to succeed. Faith consists of both the hope in G-d's Mercy, and the fear of His Wrath.

I'm in agreement with this sentiment. Unfortunately, the world also consists of many "hawks". :( It seems that international policing has become too political .. us v. them .. fear mongering. Police forces world-wide have to fight against financial fraud .. robbery .. burglary. It's no...
