Khalid...i would suggest you keep all your comments to yourself as you are not making any sense AT ALL!
As for the FAther and Children Analogy about God, FYI, we are not CREATURES, but CHILDREN OF GOD. Do you consider yourself a DOG in the sight of God? Of maybe a COW? Do you think the way God looks at us is the same as he looks at a snake? We are the only "creatures" created by God whom he gave intelligence and reasoning to progress...so that makes us excel among other creatures, and that makes us special. God created us in his own likeness, meaning with intelligence and reasoning, and gave us FREEWILL to do what we like, and learn from what we've experienced. Animals have intelligence, but they just learned it by instinct.
So, isn't it contradicting, the fact that your book states that God will keep non-believers as they are so that they can be killed, while the other context that my brother, Platao, posted states that everyone has freedom to choose their religion? If you don't understand the clarity of those 2 verses that are contradicting, then you are simply shutting your eyes and accepting it because you were raised to believe it...just like the Christians...if they can't interpret what it says, they call it "The Mystery". That's why the Bible has LOTS OF MYSTERIES because they don't understand what it says.
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
