I forgot to mention in my advice post above, that it is helpful if you learn how to use the quote tag, so that we can see what you are responding to easily, without ploughing through the whole thread again.

In order for your argument to hold up, you need to establish that what Jesus, the prophets, and saints said is to be relied upon. Please understand that to those of us who reject, or even doubt, the reliability of the alleged sayings of Jesus, prophets, saints, your argument against the Koran has no merit. Unless, of course, you can compellingly substantiate the reliability of said alleged sayings.

We know Hinduism is wrong because you are not going to come back as a rabbit, lol. And also because they do not know who their creator is, rather they have millions of gods, one for each emotion or whatever is their own person interest. Do you see how that works?

How they see them does not matter. Please compare the number of Christian organizations, preaching, for example, at colleges, to the number of atheist organizations which do the same. Then do a similar comparison for Christians/atheists who come knocking at your door.

And subscribing a doctrine of "they happened all by themselves" is the kind of simplistic strawman one gets from people who know next to nothing about atheists.

Why don't take the advice from many people here and just follow some threads here before making a fool out of yourself?

Atheists and agnostics follow their god of self and the blind faith of thinking they happened all by themselves without evidence for this claim. That's like sheep being led to the slaughter.
Did I just say something above?

Nice of god to impose infinite punishment for ultimately finite "crimes", eh? :/

Based on the facts presented, we can rely on Jesus; for the Koran there is no reason for them to change what is in harmony over 1500 years since Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. Therefore, the overwhelming evidence puts the burden of the proof on those who say Jesus is not God. I love what He did for me. He died on the cross to save me from my sins. That is true love.

I'm sure you would not appreciate it if a Hindi mockingly caricatured your belief system the way you have done to theirs; i.e.:

"We know Christianity is wrong because you are not going to have wings and play a harp for all eternity, lol."

When you sin it is not a finite crime as your flesh would hope, for it causes the flesh to die, and leads you to eternal separation from God, because you choose to never repent of this sin, nor do you have atonement for this sin in its place since you reject the salvation of Christ. Hell therefore is needed as a place to eternally separate you from God. Sounds reasonable that this be for you since you want to go there. And it is also righteous of God to keep you away from us forever.

Hindu's say they can come back as animals. I am not saying this; that's what they say. Jesus never said we could come back as dog or a cat. The reason reincarnation is a false teaching is because it causes the person to think they can sin and always get another chance. This is just a man-made teaching of the carnal mind.

If it's righteous of God to keep us away from you forever, then why don't you follow His example, starting now?

I don't see how anything of this shows that Hinduism is wrong. I'm especially interested in how you know that "you come not back as a rabbit". And why you think that Hinduism claims something like this.

Yes, I see how you work: Throwing around countless unsupported assertions and non sequiturs. Does not impress anyone here much.
