I total agree with you bro. i find it shocking that people cant even understand what you saying. This is how people use other people words and completely misunderstand them and then accuse them.  this happens to many scholars. they say something else but some people who dont like them take wrong meaning. 

Brother/sisters remember that if someone says that if you read kalmah then you will eventually go heaven dont mean that you stop praying and asking Allah for forgiveness.  its like me saying to you that read namaz and you will go heaven and then somebody says waaat. who are you to decide who goes heaven or hell.  its basically just a saying.  Its like encouraging people to read namaz etc. you cant say to someone read namaz but naa you wont go heaven or hell. but you gota say it in positive manner and then inshallah after reading namaz they will do other good things and next time if you see that person you can say be nice to people and Allah will forgive you and grant you jannah.  The problem these days is everyone uses their own brains and they want people to listen to just them and when they see other people say things they always find faults etc.  I think every muslim should think i dont want to go near Hell for punishment of grave as that is very bad and if brother like modest muslima says by reading Kalma you will go heaven EVENTUALLY dont mean dont pray or do good deads as that eventually could be million of years.  I seen alot of these things happen. its like someone asks you a question saying will every muslim go heaven eventually and someone answers yes and then thousand of muslims go on net and blaze him saying ohh he encouraging people not to pray etc but he dont mean that. He is just answering a question.  I think in order to stay away from fitna of today is just please Allah and protect your family but you see even that is impossible as if you stay quiet people attack you family and force you to say bad things to them as they never stop but you should always try not to and hold on.

The company of a good friend is like an owner of musk; if you don’t buy anything, you will get the smell of it.
The company of a bad friend is like the blacksmith’s bellows; if you are not affected by its black dirt, you will be touched by its smoke.

–Prophet Muhammed (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam)

Connect the comment with the context. The fact that we believe in a hereafter connotatively makes us think that we will end up in a better bucket. If that was not the case then following a religion would become more a liability than a privilege.

These questions will only be answered after the journey of this life.

I like your analogy but the only certainty is Allah and his beloved messenger.

Reality of hereafter is a result of the flavour consumed during our earthly visit. If we really believe in God then negation of His existence cannot be considered a beneficial alternative. I’m sure you must have heard the following proverb:

Blessed are those who believe!

Islam expect certainty from us, there are no fruits for people who are half pregnant.

Tahir

I believe Islam is the correct Religion and Mohammed PBUH is the last Prophet, whether I am doing justice to myself with what I believe is something I am not certain of. I don't think anyone can be certain of that. I don't think Islam allows one to indulge in self-glorification on basis of belief.

Yes we are lucky enough to be born into Muslim families, imagine if we were not would you have sought the Almighty unaided all by yourself?

I'm not sure what you are asking here, the precedence over others is not 'felt' until one dies, this is when that faith is either endorsed or rebuked. So for anyone to think they are most certainly on the right path all of the time is impossible. Professing faith is for own self fulfillment on a spiritual and an intellectual level, surely?

Can be easily brushed aside by pinpointing that religion only informs it doesn't enforce. The enforcement is a result of our conscious decisions. The underlined problem however is beyond the involved rhetoric.

A Muslim license plate automatically  defines you as good and them as bad.

Unfair according to some standards but if there is no precedence in having a faith then why profess one?
