Why I don't believe in God

[ChrisL]

Beliefs are fine. I don't really care because it doesn't affect my life. The only time I will ever REALLY care is when it affects my life or people's lives in a negative way. That is when there is a problem. Otherwise, if they are not pushing everyone else to abide by their personal belief systems, I don't have a problem with other people having them.

Jews Muslims and Hindu say the exact same thing. If you were born in Iran, you'd be a Muslim.

If I was born in Iran I'd be a Muslim because I'd be beheaded for not being Muslim. Only one reason Islam is afraid, but that's for another topic.

I don't hear a lot of Iranians who come to America to escape Islam say that they were secretly Christians.

You know you can secretly believe the truth? That's what us atheists do when we go to church. We don't tell the priest and members we think they are stupid. We just go along. So too could Muslims in Iran. They've heard the Jesus stories. Just quietly believe. But they don't. Neither do Chinese people. They've all heard about Jesus. If it were obviously true, they'd be converting by the millions.

And if it were really true, what better reason to revolt? But I don't think they are believing the Jesus stories just like you don't believe what they say about Mohammad.


And consider all the Muslim Americans who don't convert. If it were obviously true they would, but it isn't.

And how are those living in Iran even aware of Jesus? You think they have Billy Graham on the tele or something?

Considering that Jesus is also a Prophet in Islam, as is Moses, you wouldn't know that however, he would be tough to miss.

What Muslims Believe About Prophets

More of the naive. Muslims are taught that to simply touch a Bible would lead to demonic possession.

You desperately need to learn about Islam: Islam 101

If you want to think Jesus is being openly taught about in Mosques, who am I to stop you?

Jesus is respected as a prophet. They don't teach (what you don't live anyway) but that doesn't change who Jesus is in Islam.

Muhammad is the Last of the Prophets.

"Islam teaches that God has sent prophets to humanity, in different times and places, to communicate His message. Since the beginning of time, God has sent His guidance through these chosen people. They were human beings who taught the people around them about faith in One Almighty God, and how to walk on the path of righteousness. Some prophets also revealed God's Word through books of revelation."

So how does the concept of evil fit into evolution? Why should the weak get the chance to live and procreate? What's wrong with a stronger male taking his mate by force?

Books of Revelation

Well, the only "book of revelation" I've heard about is the one in the Bible.

The Book of Revelation, often known simply as Revelation or The Apocalypse of John, is a book of theNew Testament that occupies a central place in Christian eschatology. Its title is derived from the first word of the text, written in Koine Greek: apokalypsis, meaning "unveiling" or "revelation".

I think people can be moral without religion. I don't wish to hurt anyone, so there it is. I realize that "destructive tendencies" have a negative impact on my community too. I also have a conscience and empathy. I don't need to believe in a religion or a god to have those things.

People can be moral without religion. The problem arises because the concept of morality changes on a whim. Thou shall not steal is thou shall not steal, not "the insurance company will never miss the money on my bogus claim"
