Well, we have already discussed this before. You know what my take is on it. If recourse to some kind of supernatural narrative gives you a sense of what is good and evil, then good for you. You're entitled to your personal opinion that that is the way it should be.

This sidesteps what I have put to and asked you. They are Muslims and already have a god figure. Why would they be seeking the god figure that you just so happen to believe in?

Why don't you ask them? Maybe they are not satisfied with theirs?

What are they then? Only subjective opinions?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerYou believe that this is your god figure's approach to the billions of people who are not Christians? You believe he is interested in those who are "not satisfied" but in the meantime makes them run orphanages in the names of other religions, before, possibly, torturing them for eternity. It sounds rather convoluted but in a shaky way.

Originally posted by @fmfNo He is interested in saving everyone who is willing. I said people who are not satisfied with their own religion may seek something else, and that was in response to a different question.
