I haven't read other replies, so sorry if somebody has said something similar to this.
I consider myself a Muslim, although I do not pray. I find almost all Muslims only pray to ask Allah for things. I don't want to ask him for worldly things, I only want to be accepted into paradise and everyone who deserves it be rewarded it.
I have similar views to Neil deGrasse Tyson, I believe in Allah (he'd use the word god) but I don't make my whole life about religion.
The one thing that confuses me about religion and Islam is that the people in the time of the prophets would have had an unfair advantage. They would know with certainty after seeing the miracles that god is real and they should be good to go to paradise. People today grow up only believing in something if they see it. Although I believe it is said every human being is given the chance to learn about Islam, and if not (say they die just after they're born) then they'll go to paradise so it doesn't matter.
One thing I can say and that I hope for is Shari'a law to be established everywhere completely accurately, then I know without a doubt no bad things will happen. There will be no such thing as a thieve or murderer.
I'd like to hear your guys opinions on what I've said, I'll reply to all of you.
Sure. You'll just kill off all the thieves, murderers, adulterers, apostates, and how many others to establish your "peace on earth?" Killing people would certainly be a growth industry in such a world of sharia law.I consider myself a Muslim, although I do not pray. I find almost all Muslims only pray to ask Allah for things.

Historically, across the world in many cultures, such policies have not worked out well at all.
Oh, by the way. No, people in the 7th century who thought they say miracles will not automatically go to paradise. This is utter nonsense. I do not think you understand the teachings of your own religion regarding miracles.
I am an atheist, so it is nothing to me what you choose to believe.
No. Who said we will kill them? I never said that and you're already assuming it, maybe go learn about Islam before telling me I don't know it.
Name one example.
I never said people who saw miracles would automatically go to paradise. I said they'd have an unfair advantage because they would have had proof of Allah and feared him more to be good and attain paradise. You may have to read this a few times to understand it before you reply.
Yes, I can tell you're an atheist, and if it is nothing to you what I choose to believe why did you reply to me? That's like saying I think nothing of a PS4 but I still own one. Maybe I should contact your family and ask them to get you professional help?
An Atheist can't imagine serenity of belief in Allah. Just talks prejudiced
