Religion is irrelavent

Dear H.M.

Not only Islam. You read about any religion with an open mind, you will get the same impression, 'caus God or Allah cannot be biased, he cannot be theorized and put in the form of paragraphs in Books. He is not silly enough to be impressed by prayer and angered by curse. If that is the case we humans are better than Him. If anyone converts, that is his/her choice, but to say one will enter paradise/heaven by following a system is height of ignorance. The description of heaven/hell given in all religions is metaphorical but unfortunately taken in literal sense. Also every religion have so many stupid things, which are not relevant to the present day . After all we are following only book/s and have no actual evidence or experience of what is written in them. So many are living and dying on this planet without knowing anything about Islam. Do you say Allah is going to punish them all. Does He have a cruel & illogical side also to him. Where is the answer for that in any book. This kind of promotion that this is the only true religion is limiting the infinite nature of divinity, which is beyond religions, human comprehension and understanding. There is no bigger insult to God than to attribute & confine him to a particular religion.
