I haven't read the Quran

I haven't read the Quran yet, but I plan on it, even have a copy. I know I wouldn't put anymore scrutiny on your religion then I would any other. In fact I almost have the feeling I can't because there are so many assholes hypocrites that accuse muslims of being violent when they can't explain it in their own holy book. Although it didn't make a whole lot of sense that people where starting to be violent over cartoons depicting violence, even if that wasn't their main concern.

Also I have made a "stop being jesus' ho"/Pimp Jesus pic so don't think I'm singling you out or anything. This would include anytime I might be an asshole. I'm a critic and don't think it is valid to say I can't criticize, its going to happen. Don't let any of this scare you off though Eye-wink I can still be nice.

I read the Quaran at work a few years ago. It's good to have someone who isn't Christian to try to present/defend their religion here. Welcome to the site.

Thanks

Thanks for welcoming me, critiquing my religion is okay with me. People have to rationally examine something before they can accept it.

To LeftofLary, you know that the Neo-Cons are destroying this country and the world. Look at all these violations of constitutional rights, detainee bill, phone tapping illegally, blocking ceasefires, patriot act, and all kinds of stuff the Bush administration is doing to kill your freedoms and privacy.

Bush launched a war against Iraq, when he admitted himself that they had NO involvement watsoever in 9/11.

And if you ask any loyalist to the republican or conservative or neo-conservative group they will change the subject immediatly and tell you: "well we are there now, no use in dwelling on the past" or "yes but now we are better off without sadam"

Says WHO? Sadam (even though a murderer and a tyrant) was the only one who kept iraqis in check, all of them.

Now this American invasion of Iraq opened up a long history of violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims. Now both are fighting for controll of the country.

The consequences will be a very bad outcome.

I agree with you 100% on Bush. He is a piece of shit. The war in Iraq was just as stupid as the Crusades. Hopefully we get the Republicans out in this election and didn't piss off the Moslem world too much doing something so stupid.

Bush is extremely stupid. He had no reason to invade Iraq. Things would have been better for both the US and Iraq if he hadn't. I would like to personally apologize for the US actions under Bush to the Arab world, not that it will do any good. Still, if anyone from there sees....

I understand now that the

I understand now that the majority of americans were duped into the war, (i wasn't). Some americans don't know any international level politics or history, they just go with the flow (mainly the government).

I think it was a wake up call to all americans that your government can and will lie to you. Not only here in america, but governments all around the world.

What is going on is more of a 'energy arms race'. With US Russia and China all competing for the gold. The thing is that china makes business deals with oil rich nations, while Bush drops bombs on them.

In a broader global aspect, it looks like we are headed for world war 3. (it may seem stupid, but it may happen) I think this war on terror may be a spark to ignite a firestorm.

Just my opinion. Peace

i saw the thread and it looked like you didn't accept any of the verses you read, you tried to debunk all of them, however the fact still remains that 1427+ years ago the Quran mentions that the Sun and moon both have orbits.

That the sun is not constant, it moves towards the star Vegar in the orbit named the Solar apex.

Furthermore, when you asked the question who is "WE" in the Quran, in semitic languages mainly arabic and hebrew there are two plurals: plural of respect and plural of numbers.

For example: In hebrew,
Eli mean God
Elohim means God (with the -im as a suffix denoting respect and reverence)

same with arabic, if you ask any arab what does those verse in the quran that mention "We" he/she will tell you plural of respect.

the translation into english seems plural, but there is no plural of respect in English, only plural.

What? wtf

The reason we non-theists have no urge to kill ourselves is that we find our lives meaningful and thoroughly enjoyable. We also realize that this life is the only life there will ever be.

We are not in the least afraid of the depraved sky-daddy of the Abrahamic religions waiting to throw us into the pits of Hell because it is blatantly obvious that he is a nothing but a fiction.

It is the theist who should be happy to throw away his life because he has deluded himself into thinking he will have another one in some heavenly realm. Indeed, one need only look into the atrocities of 9/11 and 7/7 (and there are many others) to realize that all too many Moslems are eager to commit suicide in exchange for the opportunity to indiscriminantly murder scores of non-Moslem men, women and children.

We also want to continue living. After all, even with no afterlife, unless your life is really bad, wouldn't you want to keep experiencing life and being with those you love and care about than just having everything just stop?

So you think there are only 3 fields? I guess the Koran taught you that? What is it that you think the Koran explains? I don’t have any fairy tales; you must be referring to people who think there’s a god.

Which science do you claim the Koran preceded? The Egyptians built the pyramids 6000 BCE. The Arabians did not build anything then. I don’t think the Arabians built anything.

The invention of the wheel can be considered as a technology as also can clothing and hunting tools. These were invented before the koran.

People who think there is something they refer to as god don't ask enough questions.

You should be careful with saying something like that, it sounds like you are suggesting that we should die.

Quote:

Only if you assume life means nothing. I think life is a great thing so I'm not going to just end it.

Quote:
[the fact is that you do not want to die because you know there is God waiting for you on the other end]

Others put this better, but I'll say it anyway.

The atheist has everything to lose if we die as, from my point of view, there is nothing after death. Now if you really think we know there is a god how can you explain the fact every atheist at least doubts the existence of it if not deny the existence? That would be like me saying every theist knows there is no god, but blah blah blah.

To me it sounds like you, weather you knew it or not, took an argument against theists turned it around and added the "There are no Atheist" argument...

Very nice to meet you, Armageddon.
Certainly you will understand my concerns regarding the need for an end to the Earth.
Many people of all faiths and non-faiths want there to be a future free of fear for our children to enjoy and prosper in LIFE. Regardless of where their 'souls' might end up, we want their material existences to overshadow our own.

I have found an intrinsically dominant, characteristic hypocrisy between all of the religions that involve an armageddon, al malhamah, ragnarok, gotterdammerung, apocalypse, or whatever. The hypocrisy is the sheer futility of planning for a future that has been guaranteed by these prophecies written 1400 to 1900 years ago not to happen.

Therein lies the danger concerning these religions and their place in a world full of life. The overwhelming desire to see the promised paradise has become the foundation for many atrocious actions taken by the adherents of every death cult religion including islam and christianity.

How long will it take before someone realizes that if the end has not come by now then perhaps the universal bet has been lost with humanity's progression being the winner?

We are still in the infancy of our civilizations. Empires rise and fall to the tune of doomsayers in every ideology. Should we continue to listen to the monotonous drone of "THE END IS NEAR!" or simply put it aside as just another possibility while looking far away into the rational future?

The argument can be made that the prophecies might influence the reality by causing the believers of the prophecy to try to bring about something that resembles a collection of interpretations of suwar put in different order to make chronological events seemingly fulfill the prophecy.

Why must the kafir burn? I have never found the explanation for allah's and muhammad's hatred for the unbelievers. The closest pseudo-explanation is that unbelievers are liars and thieves. Of course, some muslim apologetics say that we have translated it incorrectly that it is liars and thieves that are the unbelievers but that seems counterintuitive.

I'll go slower. Is there a particular english translation of the q'uran that you could endorse for the purposes of this discussion?

The Quran is the revelation sent to the prophet Muhammed (pbuh) when he was between the ages of 40-63 years old, ohh and it was 1374 years ago, i was going by another calender 1427. the difference of 2006-1427 is the time from the calender we use as AD to the Islamic calender marked by the Hijrah (Pilgramige from Mekka to Medina).

Backgroud information about Muhammed (pbuh), orphaned at a young age and an illeterate. Read what this in the Quran, you will be amazed 1374 years ago that ANYONE had this knowledge:

{ We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed looking substance)... } (Quran, 23:12-14)

Professor More asked about this revelation: http://www.islam-guide.com/video/moore-1.ram

{ Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... } (Quran, 41:11)

{ Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?... } (Quran, 21:30)

Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists, comments on this: http://www.islam-guide.com/video/kroner-1.ram

Wait... wtf What? Did you just say there is a god because Muhammed said he talked to him?

Then talked about humans come from clay, where some sort of leech, then some sort of "chewed looking substance". What does that have to do with the question?

And then talked about smoke and something about how we can't separate god and reality. Why?

This logic is not rational, it's severely flawed. In fact, if one doesn't believe there is a god, they have everything to lose by killing themself. I only get this one life, I must use it up wisely, killing myself takes away everything that I can prove, everything that is real.

On the other hand if I do believe there is a god, and I believe there is a heaven awaiting me, then I am suffering the problems of Earth down here when instead I could be in a blissful seemingly perfect environment. If I truly believed in a god, I would be rushing to heaven, as this life is nothing, and I gain everything by leaving it. This is why we see suicide bombers in your religion. They are rushing to heaven, and of course commiting attrocious acts of violence because they believe it will earn them a place there.

Using this logic, it would appear the fact is that you know that your god doesn't exist, and you aren't rushing to find out.

You see it is the athiest love of life i am trying to point out. By your obvious reply, you wouldn't wish for death and you are saddened by it, due to the fact that you think the universe is strictly materialistic. This is a deception, all we see is a result of projected images in our brain, which is nothing more than electrical impulses. You are also afraid of death because you are afraid of being responsible for your actions on earth.

Suicide is strictly forbidden in Islam:

SUICIDAL BOMBINGS ARE AN ACT OF WAR **AND** SUICIDE and therefore haram (prohibited) since suicide (INTENTIONALLY KILLING ONESELF) is such a terrible sin with terrible consequences.

Hadith - Al-Muwatta 21.9 (Similar proofs in 21.8, 21.10, and 21.11)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw the corpse of a woman who had been slain in one of the raids, and he disapproved of it and forbade the killing of women and children.

Hadith - Bukhari 7:670, Narrated Abu Huraira

The Prophet said, "Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, will be in the (Hell) Fire falling down into it and abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and drinking it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever; and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his abdomen with it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever."

Hadith - Muslim #6485

Hammam b. Munabbih said: Abu Huraira narrated to us ahadith from Allah's Messenger and out of these one is that Allah's Messenger said: none amongst you should make a request for death, and do not call for it before it comes, for when any of you dies, he ceases (to do good) deeds and the life of a believer is not prolonged but for goodness.

My logic is very rational, there is a creator who created the universe the earth and all life on it. Don't you see how many billions of stars out there, and how many billions of galaxies out there with planets orbiting stars in perfect order?

In our solar system, Even a slight solar flare of the sun has enough energy as 1 billion atomic bombs (same used on Hiroshima) which would wipe all life on earth if it wasn't for the Vann Allen Belt.

This example is just one of the many defenses are put in place for us, and yet we all take it for granted.

when he was between the ages of 40-63 years old, ohh and it was 1374 years ago, i was going by another calender 1427. the difference of 2006-1427 is the time from the calender we use as AD to the Islamic calender marked by the Hijrah (Pilgramige from Mekka to Medina).

2005-1374= 631CE Muhammed is dead.

Quote:
Backgroud information about Muhammed (pbuh), orphaned at a young age and an illeterate. Read what this in the Quran, you will be amazed 1374 years ago that ANYONE had this knowledge:

There is no knowledge in the Koran.

Quote:
{ We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed looking substance)... } (Quran, 23:12-14)

This is not knowledge. It is fantasy.

Quote:
Professor More asked about this revelation: http://www.islam-guide.com/video/moore-1.ram

{ Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... } (Quran, 41:11)

{ Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?... } (Quran, 21:30)

Magic does not exist.

Quote:
Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists, comments on this: http://www.islam-guide.com/video/kroner-1.ram

ill post more soon.

If the Koran had so much knowledge why did the people in the middle east live in caves?
But nothing you posted here shows any evidence of any god.

People who think there is something they refer to as god don't ask enough questions.

Why must the kafir burn? I have never found the explanation for allah's and muhammad's hatred for the unbelievers. The closest pseudo-explanation is that unbelievers are liars and thieves. Of course, some muslim apologetics say that we have translated it incorrectly that it is liars and thieves that are the unbelievers but that seems counterintuitive.

I'll go slower. Is there a particular english translation of the q'uran that you could endorse for the purposes of this discussion?

The Kuffar are nonbelievers in God, and they will go to hell if they die a nonbeliever. Allah created man with free will, but with this free will comes responsibility. Every man and women were created for the purpose of worship, but not secluded only to worship, but to also work and earn a living and being gratefull for what you have.

I do not think there is an excuse for most people to reject the existence of God. Especially this generation who have no excuse for not worshiping God because you can use the internet to do research.

About the Quran-
This is a pretty decent english translation, as i know both languages, the english translation is not perfect (but then again you can never perfectly translate one language to another):

The Future of the World and the United States can be summed up in one verse:

No. I'm not afraid of death at all, I embrace reality every step of the way. If I was so scared of death and going to hell, I would cop out like you and pick a god to believe in, in hopes that I guessed right out of the thousands to choose from. You know, if Yahweh is the right god he doesn't like people having other gods before him, so I'd imagine you're scared too, eh? Oh, no,. you're not scared of death? If not, then you know how I feel.

In our solar system, Even a slight solar flare of the sun has enough energy as 1 billion atomic bombs (same used on Hiroshima) which would wipe all life on earth if it wasn't for the Vann Allen Belt.

Praise the flying spaghetti monster! You see your logic does nothing. It isn't proving any sky daddy, and if it is it certainly isn't proving yours over Thor.

There would be no life to contemplate life if the keys for life weren't here. In other words, right now, there is nobody on Mars saying, look at how everything is in order and perfect and we have defenses and the keys to life because GET THIS... there is no intelligent life on mars. However, the keys to breed life are right here on Earth, because the keys to life are here, we are able to look back on it and marvel at the amazing amount of possibilities that happened in order for us to be here at this point in time.

So we can use signs and the stars as refrence points to make sure we are going the right direction? How does that prove god?

I could write a book and say the sky is blue in one place and say my god made it blue, but that doesn't prove god or any other claim.

No I'm saying there was no creation of reality. You are assuming everything needs creating.

I know arabic and this is what it means, i don't need an exmuslim translator to tell me the meaning.

Quote:

I don't know about you, but matter doesn't just create itself out of nowhere.

maybe this is a topic you don't like to think about much, the origin of life, the origin of the universe before the big bang, etc.

sun doesn't run??

Voiderest wrote:

Not knowing anything before posting dumb sites on the internet is interesting also.

The site says "Did the sun run?! It is run around itself only!! But never run in an orbit?! The earth is the one who run around the sun in an orbit, not vice versa?!"

Umm sorry to burst your bubble but the sun travels in the solar apex at the orbital speed is 217 km/s.

The solar apex, or the Apex of the Sun's Way, refers to the direction that the Sun travels through space.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_apex

And also the verse that he states, does not mention the sun orbiting the earth, it states:

Quran 36.38
{ And the Sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him) the exalted in Might the All-Knowing. }

This shows your complete ignorance against Islam and you are talking about something which you are uneducated in.

The Quran was recited, memorized word-for-word during the time of Muhammed by his companions. It was even secretly written by the close companions of the prophet (pbuh) to preserve the verses, letter-by-letter.

It is impossible for it not to be from Muhammed (pbuh), even though he didn't write it, because it was recorded and memorized at the time of the revelations.

So now I know nothing? Arabic sure, but in order to detect movement you need a reference point. We know we go around the sun because the sun is one of our reference points. Also did you check out what it talks about after that?

Quote:
I don't know about you, but matter doesn't just create itself out of nowhere

AGAIN, I AM NOT SAYING THAT

Quote:
maybe this is a topic you don't like to think about much, the origin of life, the origin of the universe before the big bang, etc.

No, I think about it a lot.

The big bang is talking about how stuff is becoming stuff not really how nothing is becoming stuff. The origin of life is stuff becoming arranged in such a way as to define life. When I am talking about stuff I am talking about the things that make up the things that make up atoms or even smaller.

Before the big bang all the stuff that makes up everything could have being in any arrangement maybe even having different "higher arrangements", but we will never know what everything was like before that.

Let me lay out what my view of existence is. All matter/stuff, the things making everything (not atoms or sub-atomic particles), has always existed. The only thing that is changing is the arrangement of the matter. Life is just another arrangement nothing magical.

I, Stephen, am going on the record saying I do not believe matter was created, ever. In order to become created the thing must not have existed, as in coming out of nothing. This does not follow my scientific knowledge there fore I do not believe it. I believe all matter has existed for all time. This matter is not just atoms or just electrons, protons, and neutrons, but whatever is the smallest element of matter.

Science does nothing to answer how the dense gasseous material that first made up the big bang formed.

Nor can science answer the origion of life. Evolution claims that we are all descended from the same ancestor, and that all life came about as a result of the first living organism. but it does nothing to explain HOW this organism came about.
It vaguely states under "favorable conditions", well if that is true scientists can replicate these "favorable conditions" in order to CREATE life.

back to the big bag theory, There is no proof that the hot and dense gasseous material had always existed. (The Quran mentions that the whole universe was one entity before it expanded)

Quran 61:9
{ He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâmic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all (other) religio

There is no proof that the hot and dense gasseous material had always existed. (The Quran mentions that the whole universe was one entity before it expanded)

We can not destroy matter, we can not create matter, we have not seen this take place. If the thing can not be created then it wasn't created. So its not that hard to think they have always been.

'Where there is smoke there is fire' is the saying, so where did that smoke/gass come from?

Again stuff didn't come from nothing.

Quote:
Nor can science answer the origion of life. Evolution claims that we are all descended from the same ancestor, and that all life came about as a result of the first living organism. but it does nothing to explain HOW this organism came about.
It vaguely states under "favorable conditions", well if that is true scientists can replicate these "favorable conditions" in order to CREATE life.

Right evolution doesn't talk about where the first then came from, that would be another theory.

As you can see there are a lot of theories out there, but this is a very hard question to answer. However being a hard question does not make it impossible to answer.

There is no mixture, the Quran was revealed 1427 years ago and preserved word-for-word, the quran came before science and technology in the west.

pick any of the three fields and the Quran explains it, way before your mythical fairy tales.

The idea of revealed knowledge is absurd. If there were a God, why would he only reveal his special message to only one person. If he was God, couldn't/wouldn't he reveal his word to everyone.

One problem with a revealed message is that all others are supposed to believe this story. There is no way to verify a revealed message. It could be real, a delusion of an insane person or a fraud. How can an outsider tell which one it is? This is NOT how science is done.

Where is the test in that, in your assumption that God shouldve talked to everyone, then what is the point of testing us then? Don't we have brains, we can come to a conclusion based on the facts. We were created with free will in order for us to determine individually that God exists.

He sent many prophets with many miracles, He sent his last prophet to all of mankind:

{ "We have not sent you (O Muhammad) but as a universal (Messenger) to men giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin) but most men understand not." } (Qurân 34: 28)

and God could have if He wanted to:

{ And if you only could see when the Mujrimûn (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) shall hang their heads before their Lord (saying): "Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back (to the world), we will do righteous good deeds. Verily! We now believe with certainty."

And if We had willed, surely! We would have given every person his guidance, but the Word from Me took effect (about evil­doers), that I will fill Hell with jinn and mankind together.

Then taste you (the torment of the Fire) because of your forgetting the Meeting of this Day of yours, (and) surely! We too will forget you, so taste you the abiding torment for what you used to do.

Only those believe in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), who, when they are reminded of them fall down prostrate, and glorify the Praises of their Lord, and they are not proud } (Quran 32:12-15)

According to your argument, Muhammed was not tested as God revealed himself to him. Why does he get special treatment? Why would a god make my brain in such a way the he knows that I won't accept such evidence like "revealed knowledge" as proof and then sit in judgement of me?

Is there some method of verifying revealed knowledge? On many TV station all across America every day, there are preachers claiming that God shared all sorts of kooky ideas with them. Why don't you believe them? Do you doubt the word of God? Eye-wink

Muhammed (pbuh) was indeed tested, big time. The first time he recieved the revelation from God through the Angel Gabrael, he was terrified and thought himself crazy.

Indeed his wife Khadija asked her cousin, Waraqa bin Nawfal ( who, during the pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters):

Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died.

He was also tested when his wife and uncle both died as a result of being starved out by his own clan, Quraish. He had never seen God until the night journey (Isra') where he was given the criteria of prayer (5 times a day).

i don't believe them because the christians and jews have a history of altering their books and rules. if you look in the bible:

The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie." (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8 )

therefore, i don't believe most of the stuff they preach, because it seems that they want to benefit themselvs politically or financially.

I do not doubt the fact that God sent down his messengers messages, amoung them: the Gospel/Injeel sent down to Jesus (pbuh). The bible you have now is not the Gospel/Injeel of Jesus, but it is the Gospel of MAN (if you don't believe me look at the names of each chapter, Mark, Matt, Luke... etc.)

Even if you read the bible, look at the point of view: it is neither God's nor the prophets' point of view. The point of view is some neutral third party, most of the time we don't know who.

Providing evidence that the

Providing evidence that the Bible is erronous (I agree it is) does not prove that the Koran is therefore correct. This is called the excluded middle fallacy.
