Atheist: After 1,400 years, 60% of
the world's population is not Muslim. Such reveals that Allah (=God) has
failed, yes?
Muslim: God gave us free will to choose from good and
evil. God doesn't interfere in our decision-making. If you don't believe in God
and burn your ass in the hell fire as a consequence of that, then you are the
looser, not God. God tells you to become a Muslim for your own good. God
doesn't loose or gain anything if you fail or succeed to go to paradise.
Atheist: I would lose
something if my child failed at something important. Allah (=God) is caring,
right?
Muslim: I am not sure
what you mean by “something”. I think you want to know if caring God is hurt by
the failure of people going to paradise. God cares for righteous people. God
doesn’t care for evil doers. If you do not care for a person, then you do not
get hurt by that person’s failure. God doesn’t feel sorry for the people in the
hellfire because only evildoers go to hell and they deserve that.
God says in the Quran that he has power to make everyone
Muslim. But he will not do that since the earthly life is a test for mankind. God
tells his Prophet Muhammad (sw) not to force people to embrace Islam because
God gives people free will choose from good (=Islam) and evil (=other ways of
life).
