Where Is Muhammad Ali Now?

Jesus Christ had the audacity to say...

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6

I would not want to try eternity without him! If the Bible has it right, then the three-time heavyweight boxing champion is now coping with something far, far worse than Parkinson's disease.

You mean an eternity of punishment in hell...the place God created specifically for the souls of people who's crime was not believing.

 

[MehGuy]

Yeah he's probably beating the crap out of demons right now.

"argghh take this!"
"and this!"
"and this! *smack right in the middle of the face* pow!"

What's worse is that the demons seem to have a kind of cheap 1970s Disney animated quality to them.

O you so wish Christians believe it like that, don't you?

EDIT:
Hmm... Some actually do...
Moreover, they have no problems with it either...

Your enthusiasm makes me nauseous.
You seem happy people end up in hell.
Do you also think people will survive the 2nd death?

 

[awitch]

I'm indifferent since I don't believe in heaven or hell, but far more often than not, that's what I'm told by Christians.
I want to see if rocky will own it.

 

[Eryk]

Would you be disappointed if he was happy right now?

Can you be content with not knowing where anyone is after death?

Is it your business?

Why do birds suddenly appear-- sorry, wrong thread for that one.

Unsupported opinion.

Well, if the Koran is right..........

Whether I am heading for heaven
Or heading for hell
All is in Amida's hands
Namu-amida-butsu!

Billy Graham said "When names are called for crowns in heaven, they will be the nameless hidden saints among us. They may not be called Christians. They just love God." Recorded in an interview during his last Crusade in Ottawa 1999.

Have you seen a specialist for your disease?

Oh, by the way Rob, just took a listen to the Dubliners and Finnigans Wake. Never heard that one before. Must have been great live with jug of ale in hand. Thanks.

Feeling very blessed here because I've been freed from the images of a Judgmental God standing by to send His human Creation to eternal punishment.

An interesting twist about Ali's spiritual path, one that surprised me when I found out about it is that he had a keen interest in Sufism.
Here's a bit from an interview with his daughter:

How did your dad come to embrace Sufi Islam, and what attracts him to it?
My father has a collection of books by a man named Hazrat Inayat Khan. They're Sufi teachings. He read them front to cover. They're old and yellow and the pages are torn. They're amazing. He always says they're the best books in the world.

My father is very spiritual-more spiritual now than he is religious. It was important for him to be very religious and take the stands he did in earlier years. It was a different time. He still tries to convert people to Islam, but it's not the same. His health and his spirituality have changed, and it's not so much about being religious, but about going out and making people happy, doing charity, and supporting people and causes.

And boy, did he tick off the fundies when he said that.

No doubt, no doubt,
a great bunch,

Their audiences were of all ages,

They were greatly loved by many,

to be sure, to be sure.

As a Muslim Muhammad Ali accepted Jesus. He also took a courageous stand I think on not participating in the Vietnam War and I respect that.

Arthra... I hope so.

Muslims don't accept Jesus Christ.
