How can 1.9 billion people hold such conflicting views and strongly accept the “narrative” despite the evidence? Over 2000 responded to each survey! It is called “doublethink” and it tends to be almost always political or faith based. We simply accept the false and the factual, but decide not to apply logic to test them. Thus, we accept two opposite and contradictory views. Take the islamic narrative on free will and punishment:
Allah supposedly had determined everything from the start of time, including who will believe and not believe…this is the ultimate bullshit you get from a fath insists that Allah is an obsessive controlling in the image of his author.
Read these verses and make up your own mind:
Quran 10:100 “And it is not for a soul to believe except by *permission of Allah*….”
Quran 76:29-30
“Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way. And *you do not will except that Allah wills*….”
Quran 37:96 “While Allah created you and that which you do.”
Quran 17:13 “And [for] every person *We have imposed his fate upon his neck*….”
Quran 7:178-179 “Whoever Allah guides – he is the guided; and whoever He sends astray – it is those who are the losers…. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.”
Quran 32:13 “And if We had willed, *We could have given every soul its guidance*, but the word from Me will come into effect [that]. I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.”
In fact, Allah supposedly knows absolutely everything that happens and nothing happens without his permission:
“With Him are the keys of the Unseen. No one knows them but He. He knows what is in the land and the sea. No leaf ever falls but that He knows about it, and there is no grain in the dark layers of the earth, or anything fresh or dry that is not recorded in a manifest book.” Quran 6:59
So as you can see, it seems Allah has made people to fill hell – go call him the most merciful, loving, fair, and wise!! Oh wait, that is also a Doublethink.
