Depends on whether your asking the secular or the Christian. Secularly speaking, it's any way the wind ***** and if it feels good, do it. On the other hand pretty much any real believer will probably give you the verses from Exodus 20:3....which states, "I am the LORD your ***, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. "You shall have no other **** before Me."
Three books later, if you look in Deuteronomy 6:14 it states basically the same thing along those lines......"Do not follow other ****, the **** of the peoples around you"
Again.....different strokes for different folks. In the ***, it all comes down to two finalities.....either *** exists or.....He does not. Taking a side road here, if you wanna get to the **** Head guru promised land.....fire away with these types of questions because boy, do they attract opinions. Of course, the whole thing is laughable because once you attain the lofty position of guru here.......it doesn't mean jack. That's the hilarious part. The ironic facet is that so many of the uninitiated here desperately want it....but, anyway. I digress ha, ha.
Back to the question and what this really boils down to, in this ***/Allah question. It really remains, IS ***, the *** America recognizes, real? Well......I ha...

Back to the question and what this really boils down to, in this ***/Allah question. It really remains, IS ***, the *** America recognizes, real? Well......I have reasoned it like this. It depends on whether or not you're a gambler.....in fact, the ULTIMATE gambler because there's no being a little bit pregnant on this one. Either *** is real OR......He is not.
Now the ultimate gambler will tell you that He isn't real, while the believer will tell you He is. The question for us all is........how much are you willing to gamble with your eternity, because if *** is real, may He truly have mercy on one's soul......as we've all heard the expression. IF he were not real, then even at the *** of life, those who had spent a life believing have lost nothing, but have led a decent life.
Personally, and this is just me........I have traveled much of the world, served twice in uniform and been deployed overseas where I saw bravery and experienced sorrow, and have in life, experienced my own personal tragedies closer to home and I unequivocally believe that ***, the *** of my fathers. is real, and I believe that the Bible is His inspired word.
Concluding, this is a long and drawn out answer, which I apologize for, and yup, a wee bit off-track, but too often on this website, too many jump in and jump out with flaccid answers (raises hand) and every once in a while I think a question, in this case, yours, deserves more because hallelujah!.....it ain't about Justin Beiber, a freakin' Kardashian.....or some love struck frau asking us all if we think she's "pretty...."
Oh....one last thing......I'm just expressing MY opinion, if someone is interested in coming on and jumping in to my shizz to shout me down because of my reply......I'm too tired to care about yer angst. I've left my response.....YOU leave yours, and hooray for free speech.
Cheers.
