is mentioned very details in Quran, it even gives pictures of hereafter....

on the state of affairs which might evoke this universal love in the

see what you have to understand about living in a real world — a world where god
is just a story and not real — its a world based
on scientific and physical laws that
are proven to exist and their effects
are measurable... us

earth to suit one species — that should go over well...
