Inaccurate information[edit]

Can I just say this thing is 100 ways wrong to Sunday, is strangely both christian-centric while trying to involve other religions, and is a general strawman rip on Xianity?Pink mowse.pngGodotoi, putain, genial, merci 13:59, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Yep. Prox bomb. ТySerious Business Guy 14:01, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

I've reread my version and I can't see any Strawman arguments. If I unintentionally included straw man arguments please tell me where. Proxima Centauri (talk) 14:46, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Islamic mythology[edit]

This revision was copied from Wikipedia and another website:

BoN's revision:

In Islam Last Judgement is believed to be God’s (Allāh) final assessment of humanity. The sequence of events (according to the most commonly held belief) is the annihilation of all creatures, resurrection of the body, and the judgment of all sentient creatures. It is a time where everyone would be shown his or her deeds and actions with justice.

After the blowing of the trumpet and the death of all men; and the changing and sinking into themselves of the general systems of the earth and the heavens, the trumpet would be blown once again and all the human beings present in Barzakh would become alive again and present themselves before the Almighty Allah for accounting of their deeds.

The exact time when these events will occur is unknown, however there are said to be major and minor signs which are to occur near the time of *Qiyamah* (End time). It is believed that prior to the time of Qiyamah, two dangerous, evil tribes called Yajooj and Majooj are released from a dam-resembling wall that Allah makes stronger everyday. Many verses of the Quran, especially the earlier ones, are dominated by the idea of the nearing of the day of resurrection.

According to Islamic mythology, Yawm al-Qiyāmah (Arabic: يوم القيامة‎ "the Day of Resurrection") or Yawm ad-Din (Arabic: يوم الدين‎ "the Day of Judgment") is believed to be God's (Allāh) final assessment of humanity. The sequence of events (according to the most commonly held belief) is the annihilation of all creatures, resurrection of the body, and the judgment of all sentient creatures. It is a time where everyone would be shown his or her deeds and actions with justice.

The part that isn't in boldface was copied from this website:

Number Crunching[edit]

By the time 'Judgement Day' occurs, the total population of humans (and other species with sufficient sentience to be included) will be in the 10s-100s of billions - rather a lot for God to deal with in one go. And what would be done with the vast majority of people who are not sufficiently good to go to heaven nor sufficiently bad to go to hell immediately? Anna Livia (talk) 18:36, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
