I'm writing you concerning your post regarding Modern Christianity and religion in general. It seems that you feel that the story of Jesus is fabricated and that it is laughable to believe in the entire idea of God and the day of judgement. I would like to first state that the modern Bible is not correct, it is not 100% true, it has been modified over time as anyone who reads through it will discover that there are contradictions in it, and that is has multiple human authors, no divine sources. Many Christian Scholars acknowledge this already.

According to your post you claim that religion is really a sham and that it is superstition, due to these contradictions and impossibilities that don't seem to fit within our laws of physics that we know today. Every man has the right to doubt and search and research for the truth and the meaning behind everything, but I find that you have jumped the gun and concluded automatically that since the modern story of Jesus is not entirely correct and that modern christainity and christians are believing in something that has no true basis, that all religion is wrong. You seem to have ruled out all religion on the planet, just because you found difisciencies in one religion out of all that exist on earth. If you're wondering from what faith I come from, I am a true Muslim born and raised in Islam and have made my own research in Islam and in Christianity and Judism in the Bible, and am still reasearching about Christianity and Judism, but have full confidence and faith in God's religion, Islam.

I noticed that you have some misconceptions about death, meeting God, Hell and the Devil. According to our beliefs, when one dies his body is dead, his spirit is not, the link between is severed, but your existence is still present, though immobile and lifeless to the physical world, you are dormant in the spiritual world. Your spirit is attached to your dead body, but you can't act, thus you are dead, your engine in this physical world does not function. You do not meet God at the moment of your death. Everyone meets God at an appointed time, at the same time, on the Day of Judgement. The day of judgement comes after the end of the world. If you do not believe in the end of the world, I will give you a few facts that might help you believe in the certainty of this day. Many factors are contributing today to the end of our planet, one being pollution, where our atmosphere is being torn due to toxic gases, once it is gone the sun will not tard in burning us alive during the day, and its absence at night will leave us to freeze to death. Also all vegetation is being slowly destroyed which contributes to hazardous life conditions. Snow atop Mountains is slowly melting due to increasing global tempratures and global warming, enough to flood the entire planet, or almost. Other long term factors are the fact that the moon is slowly slowing down its speed above our planet, meaning someday it will slow enough to not be able to combat our earth's gravitational pull, and thus plumit towards us inevitably colliding with our planet, which undoubtedly will cause massive damage to our living conditions on earth. And finally we have our sun to gurantee us that it will be over someday. All celestial stars grow through phases through out their lifetime, all teriminating by either completely dying out and giving no more heat, or by exploding, leading to fatal destruction in the surrounding areas, not to mention no more solar gravitational pull for the earth and other planets to revolve around, leading to untold destruction of our solar system. So you see these are only the natural and known causes today to our inevitable end.

The Day of Judgement is the day where one finds out how well they did on their test. All shall stand in front of their creator and meet him and be judged. So no, they will not meet God for only half of one second, no one knows how long they will meet him for, but it will surely be enough to know whether you will end up in Heaven or in Hell. To disbelieve that there is a God is to be blind to everything around you and how everything works. The human creation is a great miracle by itself, to have something so complicated and so calculated and precise is indication that there is a higher power at work, for such things do not happen by chance, as some might have you believe. It's design is infinitely more complicated than that of the computers me and you are using, and imagine how much work and time it took to design and develop these over time. The structure of the earth and the universe all are very precise and in perfect harmony with each other. How did it come that the moon revolves around the earth and the earth around the sun along with all the other planets, and the sun around our galaxy, and all galaxies travelling in space in such perfect precision? and all this resulting from an explosion (the big bang)? Don't you need incredibly precise calculations to attain such a thing? And where did all come from anyway? To simply say it was chance and we don't know is not an answer, it is to deny that there is a creator and a designer to our very existence. When one sees that there is design and perfect structure to everything then one has to inevitably conclude that there is a builder to everything, because all things contradict otherwise.

As for the Devil ruling Hell, this is not true, the Devil is one of those who will be suffering in Hell, the one who will suffer the most, as a result of being disobediant to God. For the Devil was not created evil, it made that choice. Once it disobeyed God's orders, it was meant for punishment, and it pleaded for more time to prove that humans are worthless, that they are all less than it, they will all fall to error. God gave it the chance to do so, and told it only those who turn a blind eye to my guidance will fall and follow your lies, the rest I shall return to me to live in blessing. This tells us that the purpose of life is to live is obediant as can be to our creator and ignore the Devil's lies. We will all die someday, everyone dies, you, me, everyone, this is inevitable, it's only a matter of time. Once your time is up, you will then see how you fared on this earth and your account for the hereafter.

This is all I can explain in one e-mail about Religion and Islam in particular, I suggest you look into it further before you write off all religion as false and forgery by man, it is something that determines your future, you should put much more research and time into it to truly uncover the truth. Feel free to reply and ask me anything concerning this subject, I will glady answer as best as I could to the extent of my knowledge. Also, you might want to look at www.islamicity.com for more information regarding Islam and where it came from, how it describes life and earth, and how it applies into our lives and affects our destiny. I again invite you to reply to my e-mail, I'll be glad to discuss this with you further.
