You're wrong

I know the secret of existence: "You and I, no distinction." and "Thou art God"

No thing has intrinsic identity. All is impermanent. You are a confluence of events. Sending someone to hell would be like condemning a tornado for taking out a trailer park. Your submission to your god cowers you away from the controls of your rational mind and allows a parasitical idea to take over your behaviors (this post).

But again, condemning you for this or being angry at you for this would be like being angry at a tornado for taking out a trailer park. It's a product of the environment that you represent. All that I have is pity and a desire to expose all people to the product of the environment from which I emerged.

The secret of existence that I have shared above is demonstrable, repeatable, and something that anyone can come to on their own given an open mind and the willingness to dissect their world around them. It requires no book/authority.

I reject islam. They used to represent the pinnacle of rationality. Algebra and chemistry and astronomy and our numbers (arabic numerals 123etc) derive from the islamic culture. Then in 1100CE, someone said "all this natural law stuff is garbage. Everything that occurs is the will of allah." And for some reason, people listened. Then they plunged into darkness.

But again, it's a product of its environment. It's a cyclone of human experience that is occurring all over the world. At least where I am concerned, I will touch the earth and be unmoved by such delusion.
