If your god’s real and yet he’s not powerful enough to convince me that he’s real, how is it my fault for not believing it?

Look, there’s a nice convenient key for if we get stuck in there and want to leave! Thanks, Satan!

Look, Hell is not MY choice.  *I* don’t want to go in there.  If I refuse to walk through the door, who’s gonna be the one to push me through?
And if I’m pushed into a place I don’t want to go, who, really, is making the decision?

My favorite part is the nice polite mat on the ground. God sure is courteous! And who says that chivalry is dead?
Awww. And look. The door is even open for us. Such a gentleman. :]

Just a reminder:

When Prophet Muhammad (sallahu alayhi wa sallam) was travelling on the road with his cousin, Al-Fadl ibn Abbas, a woman stopped him to ask him a question.  The woman was very beautiful, and Al-Fadl couldn’t help but stare at her.

Seeing this, Prophet Muhammad reached out his hand and turned his cousin’s face away.

He didn’t tell the woman to cover her face.

He didn’t tell her to change her clothing.

He didn’t tell her that her appearance was too tempting or indecent.

He averted his cousin’s impolite stare.

OH. MY. GOD. Beautiful. 
However, I think irrational thinking would be a much better “ocean”. Religion is only one of many “seas” we must cross.

If it were not for the liberal mind Christianity would still be conducting witch hunts, burning books and oppressing women. And that’s the very short list.

This implies, incorrectly, that Christianity is still not oppressing women.  Still have a way to go there, I think.  Admittedly, the witch hunts and burning of books have decreased quite a bit.

They try and shift the argument towards Muslims, even though they are the most prominent religion in the first world and therefor receives most of the criticism. It may be because they see Islam as a more of “threat” to freedom, which demonstrates that they see themselves as a threat to freedom.
