I have never been far enough from my own body to know if there is any truth to heaven and hell but i am willing to say that limbo is real because of my limite exposure to these spiritual things

“Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms.”

That kind of statement can only apply to ideas and attitudes that also respect diversity. Christianity and Islamism taken at face value are exclusionary of all other religions. A “true” believer therefore has a moral imperative of destroying diversity in order to protect other people.
This is not saying all or even most followers of these religions will follow that path, but that they need to water down or ignore some of the core theology to fully operate in a diverse society.

Minor correction. Islam is the religion. Islamism is, essentially, the attempted application of said religion into politics or state law.

Actually there are schools of theology in both of these religions that enshrine diversity and embrace interoperability with other religions. They are just not mainstream because guess what? Mainstream religion is owned by power, and all that power is fascist essentially. Sure enough there are no true believers in anything but power in mainstream religions, start stripping them down on theology field and they reveal it.
I mean, just have a look at any works by Hakim Bey and Tim Morton’s latest book.

It’s fairly contradictory, actually. With the whole punishing the children of sinning fathers, then having a verse that says that the sins of the father are not the sins of the son, or something like that.
TL;DR, depends on if you are old testament?

Well, until my idea is to burn all people called Gene for whatever reason AND I somehow get the means to act upon my flawless idea. Then it’s not so delightfuland exciting anymore, at least not for the Genes.

I don’t know about Islamic texts, but the Bible doesn’t really say much about hell. If you want to learn about hell, you have to go to preachers. Fire and brimstone is their bread and butter. The more they talk about hell, the more money they make.

the entire modern idea of “hell” pretty much just comes from dantes inferno, which is funny cause that was basically just fan fiction dante wrote so that he could pretend to interact with the girl next door he never got a chance to talk to

Even the “lake of fire” Jesus talks about is a reference to burn pits outside of town where they got rid of garbage. Almost as if taking everything in the bible literally is the wrong lense.

It sure does suck that everybody who believes in an afterlife goes to Hell when they die. I personally don’t believe it to be the case, but that doesn’t change it from being the reality.

Quran covers don’t look like that. Not even close.
