Reciting the Quran and you go think say unbelievers collect Allah's bread. He's so angry that people do not believe in him. 😂😂
"Neither their possessions nor their children will be any use to the disbelievers against God. The disbelievers will be fuel for the Fire." Quran 3:10
"Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire." [Quran 33:64]
"The [kufar] are those who are Cursed by Allah, by the angels, and by all mankind." [Quran 3:87]
"Disbelievers are the friends of Satan." [Quran 4:76] 🤣🤣
"O you who believe! Do not take the disbelievers for friends instead of the believers." [Quran 4:144]
"Certainly you disbelievers and whatever you worship instead of Allah will be the fuel of Hell. You are all bound to enter it." [Quran 21:98]
"Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason [i.e., the disbelievers]." [Quran 8:22]
"Verily, the worst of living creatures before Allah are those who disbelieve." [Quran 8:55]
"And fight them [the unbelievers] until there is no more disbelief (fitnah), and the religion will all be for Allah Alone." [Quran 8:39]
"Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture (i.e., the Jews and Christians) and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of creatures." [Quran 98:6]
Almost every Surah begins with Bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim which means in the name of the Most compassionate and merciful Allah.
And then there are over a hundred ayyas which speak of his anger, hatred and the fire he has prepared to torture unbelievers.
This eternal torture is purely sadistic and malevolent and has no purpose.
Love, compassion and mercy cannot coexist with anger, hatred, sadism and malignancy - they are mutually exclusive like fire and water.
The Quran says "there is no compulsion in religion" but then abuses and threatens and damns those who choose a religion other than Islam - how can “non-compulsion” and “coercion” co-exist? This is irrational.
The Quran repeatedly states that Allah guides those whom he wishes to guide & neglects others. He seals the hearts of some & opens the hearts of others. This is again inconsistent and Allah is capricious & malevolent - if he can open the hearts of some why not the hearts of all?
Why has he created imperfect human beings so that he can gleefully torture them for eternity?
Allah is said to be all-knowing - but life on earth is a “Test”. Again an irrational belief. Why would an omniscient being need to test those whom he has created imperfect and deaf to his message?
If he knows what we will think and do before we were even born why does he need to “test” us?
So omniscience and “testing” are mutually contradictory and irrational.
Islam is a combination of Allah's pettiness, Muhammad's narcissism, Sahahba's hunger for power, and early period scholars' greed.
Allah's jealously is visible throughout its theology.
Muhamad asked himself to be praised with every breath.
Sahahba's laid out blueprints of political Islam, and early period's "scholars" made it a shop. With misogyny and violence a common trait of them all.

1. A theory of Everything (Theology or Philosophy)
2. That theory is then presented in the form of mythology - stories, Grand-narratives, legends, epics and anecdotes etc.
3. A blueprint for practice - ethics, morals, rituals, customs, traditions etc.
Some religions like the Abrahamic ones construct their theology on some mythical assumptions - in other words mythology is their foundation.
The Dharma religions (Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism) are grounded in philosophy with mythology illustrating and illuminating metaphysics but not essential to the core philosophy.
Despite of a heavy indoctrination through my entire childhood, I managed to eventually escape from my belief system. But that was not easy. Religion was essential part of my life. No other option existed for me.
I have changed my mind through a careful study of basic laws of nature and discovering a scientific method as the best tool to confirm humankind's knowledge.
With an enlightenment came an admiration of physical reality, and thirst for knowledge. I began to seek answers to all questions I did not dare to ask before.
He was one of the most amazing men & fathers I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. What an extraordinary life he lived.

"It seems to me that we get into trouble when we posit God as being anything other than what individuals and communities experience God to be.
Saying/writing that God IS this, that or the other thing involves the same logical fallacy as the Cartesian "Cogito ergo sum." That is, the argument is circular.
I write as someone who believes in God and who is part of a community (Christian denomination) that professes belief in God. However, belief is not proof in the scientific sense. We always only "act as if" God is real; God loves us; God wants us to love one another; etc.
An argument often used by religious people is that they have nothing to lose by believing in God and that Atheists are risking eternity in Hell for no gain.
On the face of it, it is quite convincing but it falls apart once you seriously examine it.

The argument basically is you have 2 choices.
Either believe in God or don’t.
There are only 2 results.
Either God exists or he/she/it doesn’t.
If you believe and God exists, you gain eternal reward.
If you don’t believe and God does exist, you face eternal torment.
