By your religion's god, I would presume. I'm an atheist, so when I die......I'm dead. No one will judge me, unless people at my wake make fun of the make-up artist's job, or something.

I hope you're not talking about Islam. I'm not a believer myself, but I respect Islam because it's a peaceful religion, and it does not imply violence by any means. Supposedly, suicide bombing is a one way ticket to hell.

No, I'm talking about Osama's interpretation of islam.

Religion is not the main problem. Extremism is. And extremism is as dangerous regardless of the ideology behind it.

Indeed, and it's such a shame that so many people are lead to believe they're all America-hating terrorists. Religion, a lot of the time, brings out the best of humanity, but, unfortunately, it can also bring out the absolute worst.

Either way, we can and do still love one another regardless of colour or religion, love is more powerful than hate and thus brings more rewards.

You can presume what you like, I've read a lot of them (your presumption that is) and I take a lot of them for what they are, your presumption, and not much to do with fact.
It's good to know that when you die, .....your dead, I'm not quite sure what else you could be?
I have an open mind, but really I don't need to know about your religious believes, or lack of them, but I do understand if you need to make them known publicly.

Well I hope you're wrong here, I can't help but to feel pity for the youngsters and intellectually handy capped youth who were groomed for this by gutless human beings. I don't think these youngsters should go to a place called Hell (oh by the way, I don't know where hell is or even if it exits). I've heard that suicide bombers go to paradise (the same disclaimer as hell), and have 7 virgins at there disposal, or was it 70. One thing is for sure, It's not Surfers Paradise on the gold coast, you wouldn't find that many virgins over the age of consent down here.

Excuse me? Silverpot asked you who you were referring to when you said we'd all be judged one day when we die, and my response to him was "your religion's god, I would presume" meaning, I took it that you were saying that if you are religious, that religion's higher power will judge you when you die.

So I haven't the foggiest idea why you quoted my post and then responded the way you did, considering I wasn't even talking to you to begin with.

I don't believe in hell nor do I believe in paradise, so I hope I'm wrong aswell. However, what I was trying to get at is that Islam does not reward suicide bombing. Supposedly, suicide is a sin and mass murder is also a sin.

If you can please point at the section of Quran where it says so, I'd be very glad. Don't believe everything media feeds you, and try to feed it to other people.

I'm not laughing. Islam does not imply violence, and terrorists are not considered as Muslims. Muslims are not terrorists. terrorists are not Muslims. Get it right.

Sorry Joe, I don't read religious books or text, the closest I've got is the back cover of Tull's Aqualung.
Guilty, I get some info from the media, that's a free and uncensored media.

It seems not much has changed there in the last 55 years.
Then there's the loony pastor is the US with about 50 followers out of around 300 million people, who burns a koran. The reaction was appalling.

Just go out and kill people that are there to help, including a women.
I saw this lady interviewed the other night, talk about no respect for woman.

Like a said before, maybe you're telling the wrong people.
For a non believer, you're awfully defensive about a particular religion.
