Interesting. Do you see your beliefs as being very different from the Islamists?

Yes. Aside from monotheistism, Abrahamic descent and a similar sexual ethos, we are quite different.

I think this world - with all the pain, misery, war, judgment, hatred, blame, rage, despair, starvation, envy, cruelty etc etc is hell enough.

This sweet old world also contains happiness, peace, tolerance, love, responsibility, benevolence, hope, feasting, admiration, kindness, etc., etc., etc.,. That should be Heaven enough for anyone but for those who lack the Grace to see it...

I was referring to the cruelty you ascribe to God - you and the Islamists - the desire for vengence and death and everlasting hell. You seem more similiar in that respect than different to me. You are not as barbaric, I'm sure, as the Islamists - but the error is the same. You believe, don't you, in vengence and killing for God?

That should be Heaven enough for anyone but for those who lack the Grace to see it...

How so, by denying the pain and suffering of billions? I would say that those who find heaven by denying or enjoying the incredible suffering of billions - have not found heaven - they have found sadism.
