This is incorrect. The scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have
strong references to fire, brimstone, eternal punishment, hell, and all these
things. Seriously. have a nice day !
1. Please show me the Jewish scriptures that point out that hell is eternal punishment, and that this eternal punishment is a fiery inferno of tortures.
2. Please support the assertion that Islam supports an idea of eternal punishment, and that this eternal punishment is a fiery inferno of tortures.
Satan has made many attempts to escape the universe to return to heaven. It is interesting, scientists have discovered big black scars on the boundary of the universe. Some scientists claim they are caused by other universes bumping into our universe. However, there is no evidence for other universes.
But you're not troubled by the fact that there's no evidence for Satan, apparently?
What evidence is there for God, angels, and all other supernatural creatures?
Well, that's actually my point - there isn't any. Each of us chooses to believe, or not believe, whatever it is that we believe or do not believe based on what feels right to us. What feels right in our hearts. Because there is no real evidence, one way or the other.
But the person to whom I was replying was citing a lack of scientific evidence as a reason to disbelieve a scientific hypothesis. My point was, if you're going to use a lack of evidence as the criteria to reject a hypothesis, why does that same lack of evidence not cause him to be skeptical about his religion?

One also has the right to believe in supernatural beings with or without evidence. Religion isn't science where the scientific method applies. I chose to believe in supernatural beings without scientific evidence. After all, this is a religion forum.

Fine, but don't tell my children that they have to believe in the same nonsense, or they'll burn in 'hell'; and don't use these unscientific 'beliefs' as a way to forgo paying TAXES!

in other words, keep thy religion to thyself!
Why lecture me? How about all those other believers, there are plenty on this forum. Waste your atheism on them. I'll ignore your advise and post what I please.

You clearly missed the point. It wasn't directed at you, *****; it was directed at all fundies who confess to believing in magical fairies without any evidence.
"waste your atheism..."? lol

Very good, yes, I share your atheistic view about all those other Gods. There is only one God, his essence drives out all the competition.

Those other people with those other inferior gods, feel just as strongly about their gods, and think 'your' god is the inferior one! is it possible that the 'essence' you speak of is just 'nonsense' spelled differently? i know thinking.hurts.brain but please do try!
