Dear Sister Lorelei:

Sister, that is the thing: You are not god. And if you did claim to be god, your claim would have to be substantiated. You are talking about a hypothetical situation, a scene that begs the imagination. And also other religions beg the same imagination (and I say this because I have studied them).

Also, Pascal's wager, as articulated, applies to Christianity, not Islam.

Did you not read when I said, "Verifying that He exists?"

I am talking about Allah, the One and Unique God. And He is the Reality. He has already substantiated His Existence as Truth through the Revelation, the Quran. And I am not talking about circular reasoning whereby a text says that god exists because the text says so. No. The Quran is an expression of miraculous Revelation, and that Revelation challenges the true seeker to test the Quran and accept when they can do nothing but accept when their challenges fail.

Sister, should you then not study the Quran? That is why I posted those videos, why I asked you to ask guidance of God. I am not asking you to believe because it is better to believe than not to believe, but I am asking you to differentiate between what is and what is not.

I am saying that you cannot ask me what would happen if the sun's color was pink when the sun's color is yellow. I am asking you to deal in reality rather than imagination of what you would do if you were god because that is besides the point. That is why I was, am, and will ask you (or even others interested) to investigate and pray, because you will need to do both before your mind will expand and remove the veil that your subjective interpretation of life puts over your perception. You are you, but you are you only because you think you are. But I am talking about Him, and He is not limited by your thinking, because He is and what "is" cannot be compared to perception because perception is limited whereas the "is" is not.

If I have said anything that is good and true, it is from Allah, and anything other than that is my own mistake.
