Please define "alive" for me. Personally, I have never met or shaken the hand of this living God of yours. If by living you mean that he lives in Heaven, the please differeniate for me the difference between how the Christian God is alive but no other "gods" are. How can any other sort of diety be dead in a spiritual sense? Perhaps I'm way off here, but I was always under the assumption that other religions believe that their dieties live on in some form or other.</font>[/quote]1) If you want to be a dick, be a dick. I've never met any god(s). We can stop this thread right here if you want to go that way. No one has (that is alive today anyway)
2) I mean he is alive. He lives in me [img]smile.gif[/img]
3) Yes, the other 'dieties' are alive (according to whoever believes in them...at least I would assume) I'm pointing out that their SAVIOR, if any, is not.
and to that, I go again to this argument, which no one has ANSWERED
If there is no REQUIREMENT for getting into heaven, why didn't YOUR god of whatever RELIGION you believe in, CREATE a heaven in which we live RIGHT NOW? WHY go through THIS world?
And to this statement:

I guarantee that if you asked a Devout Islamic person if he looks forward to what comes after death, he would emphatically answer "Yes!" Therefore, the promise of Heaven is no greater than the promise of any other religion; it's all a matter of symantics and how you were raised.

Read the
THREAD topic. I don't care about any other alternatives besides eternal life in paradise. I would imagine you didn't either when you started the thread trying to defend the topic.
