Default What would atheists consider as a fair warning?

“And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, ‘Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment.’ They, that is, the keepers, will say, mockingly: 'Did not your messengers bring you clear signs?', manifest miracles? They will say, 'Yes indeed' - in other words, they disbelieved them. They will say, 'Then supplicate [God]!' yourselves, for we do not intercede for disbelievers. God, exalted be He, says: but the supplications of the disbelievers can only be misguided, void.
(Quran 40:49-50)

I mean this is fair warning or what?

please this op is not about proving if god exists or not.

its about the fact that this constitutes a fair warning in this one sentence and the one making the warning will carry it out whether you feel it is unfair or not.

let the talks begin. that is why would this not be considered a fair warning? and what you consider a fair warning.

from my side this is exactly how it will happen, what more would you want? imagine when you end up there what excuse will you give for not listening to the warning? would sort of warning would you have prefered that is more clear than this?

Are you concerned about what might happen if Frodo doesn't manage to throw the Ring into the fires of Mordor?

When you understand why that's a stupid question, you'll understand why yours is also.

so compelling, so your reasoning is its a bad warning because its a fairytale. funniest thing is the warnig itself predicts your response.

how uncanny

thanks for your comment

I suppose as warnings go it is fairly explicit but where are the clear signs and the manifest miracles right now?

This has to be a joke, or maybe you are just really bored and want to argue.
