When people are ignorant about God, they make this mockery... If U want to know who is the TRUE GOD who gave us this life and who takes our life... Then U need to read the QURAN... which is a guidance to MANKIND.
QURAN clearly explains such fake gods which can b played around.There is no God but ALLAH and Muhammad pbuh is the last and final messenger of ALLAH who conveyed the message of Oneness and to worship him alone who is most merciful...
Please i request non muslims to hold for few days in your life of MEDIA islam which is fed to the viewers as a demonic religion... infact ALLAH(True God) ask us to use our INTELLECT to know the CREATOR who created U me and all that exists. and also to verify, research and do your own way of finding GOD ... If U R honest U wil find your CREATOR... Best of Luck
