Whose religion has the worst afterlife experiences in store for its apostates?
Eternal torment in the fires of "Hell" for unrepentant "sinners" and non-believers is the punishment in Islam, at least for those who don't think it's just a metaphor for death.

Not at all. You’re asking how Christians think they will fare in the afterlife is Islam is correct, and I’m suggesting that’s an absurd proposition even by the standards of a thought experiment.

So what about the OP question?

Then I can’t wait for atheists and non-Christians posing as Christians to start a thread on “the torturer Allah.”

I actually found Islam one of the least interesting religions to study.

That said, all religions are worth a look. You are poorer spiritually and intellectually by not doing so.

That’s a great question and I’d be interested in the answers (though not interested enough to look them up on my own lol.)
Maybe you'll find out some day.

Such scrutiny and debates will no doubt ensue if and when any Muslims turn up here to propagate or defend such theology.

I wonder why your god looks towards you to make a case.

Zeus! long live the immortals. Could you be more stupid.

I can only offer my own standard (not aware of any official one) and that would be something remotely plausible.

In my opinion, your thought experiment falls along the lines of, “What if everyone in the world threw a rock at the moon and hit it at the same time? Could the moon survive such a barrage of rocks? How would that change the moon as we know it?”

Well if Mo was the real deal I suspect they may either lop my head off or throw me in a cage and burn me ISIS style.

Neither do you. You are just better at fooling yourself.

Critical thought is a doubt exercise.
