( Correction: I wrote above that I haven't read Kooran, it was just an example, in fact I have read it to some extent) Any person, who has good qualities, cheers me up and will cheer up anyone in the planet. No matter whether s/he is Hindu ... Muslim... Buddhist ..... Christian ...... American .... Arab ... Nepali ... black .... white ... brown ... dark, a person with good quality will be loved, adored and praised by any wise person every civilization. As you said believing on politheism is not your cup of tea. If you think politeism is the real Hinduism, I will be bound to believe that you don't have enough knowledge of Hinduism. Politheism is just a corrupted part of Hinduism. (What is real Hinduism I will write if necessry). You said you are a scientist; I believe scientists are very rational people. You have to go back to 5000 years in Mesopotamia when theism started. Politheism and Monotheism are the part of the evolution of human civilization. Both are just beliefs equally unimportant(I will get lost if I go in this direction ... just a link for you) You said you believe in one God and only one God. What makes difference to believe in one unseen, unknown thing than many unknown unseen things? Belief is belief, not a truth. Do you think that changing your belief from Polytheism to Monothism will transform you completely? If your answer is "Yes", then I must admit that belief matters. If your answer is "No", then the beliefs are useless. You are a decent girl, that's your good quality. Does it have to do something with belief? Can you get decency only if you believe in one God? Do you mean that all the Muslim girls/guys are decent and non-muslim are not? I am a proud Hindu, but a son of Buddha, I admire your decency. Your are (mentally) Muslim girl, but I ( Hindu-Buddhist) admire your quality as a Muslim admires. What's the difference? Lets say your story is true. There is Allah above the cloud, a Merciful, a beneficent, an ulmighty, a creater, protector and a distroyer. You are a nice person and believes on him. I am nice person too but don't believe on him. Do you think in the judgement day he will bless you with best Heaven and curse me on and throw me in the Hell Fire? If your answer is "Yes" your god is so arrogant. I have seen better human being than him and let me always oppose him. If your answer is "No" where is the place for belief and where is the place for Allah and religion?
