If God suddenly appeared and said, “I have returned and I am very displeased!” and then he made all the televangelists and MAGAs burst into flames, I would say, “huh. I guess I was wrong.”
And then you would tell your son, who would tell their son and after around five generations or so God would have to appear and kill a bunch of people once again, because apperently your decendants don’t belive in him anymore. If I was a god that would start to annoy me pretty fast.
Read what I said again more carefully. Islam doesn’t rely on the same proofs of Christianity or Judaism even though they have overlapping beliefs. My religion does not require you to believe a man died and came back to life, but instead points to observable scientific and philosophical truths as its basis.
“observable scientific and philosophical truths” cannot point to an existence of any sort of higher power, by the very definition of a higher power. All you can do is believe in a higher power, all religion is dogma.
Now do communism. No wonder they absolutely hate each other. Heaven in the next life or heaven 5 minutes away. “It will work this time! We can do better!”

Does this look like Facebook?
The upper right panel does not sit right with me
Are you going to tell us why, or leave us hanging?
can’t hang me, I can fly

Does it fly right?

Don’t rope me into you sick mind.
Why, can’t you fly like the rest of us?
Ah, the good old, tried and tested burden of proof switcheroo.
Unlike with religion, we could attempt to prove whether our flying friend is a liar or not… but they won’t like it.
Load them on a plane, boot them from the sky - if they can’t infact fly, then they shall die.
If only religion could be so easily tested as throwing someone out of a plane and watching if they splat or not.
I mean, you could try to prove their invisible friend can make them fly.
That would be tempting the Lord to save someone, just so he can prove you wrong.
Yeah, it’s a classic.
In this moment, you are euphoric.
Not because of any phony god’s blessing.
Also. How dare you blaspheme against these time honoured truths.

I don’t need much convincing.
I would assume I was mentally I’ll and having delusions. Is anyone else seeing this? :)

Or you know, don’t hide if you want to be a celebrity. God seems kinda stupid. Maybe he should have eaten from the tree of knowledge.
The author of this meme doesn’t understand religion, or only meant Christianity.
My religion doesn’t work this way and has demonstrable proofs.
What religion is that
Islam actually. It’s not a dogmatic religion like Christianity and it relies on more solid proofs than Christianity.
No it doesn’t they come from the same Abrahamic source, your fairytale is no more real than theirs.

This is the logical fallacy: Burden of Proof
The burden of proof lies with someone who is making a claim, and is not upon anyone else to disprove.
