Well, Christianity isn't really auto-theistic either because of Son-Father relationship. Sure one can argue that the Father is in the Son and vice versa but this seems similar to the following Quranic verses and none of this appears to be auto-theistic:
Quran [48:10] : Surely those who swear allegiance to you (Muhammad) do but swear allegiance to Allah; the hand of Allah is above their hands. Therefore whoever breaks (his faith), he breaks it only to the injury of his own soul, and whoever fulfills what he has covenanted with Allah, He will grant him a mighty reward.
Quran [8:17] : So you (Muhammad) did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Quran [4:80] : He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah: But if any turn away, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds).
Also, one of my arguments is that auto-theism = atheism.
Would you agree with this equation?
Muslim Atheist and Rabb Allah, you two seem to be saying the same thing it seems in different ways. No? What is the main difference between you two?
When I claim to be an atheist I mean this (1) in a scientific sense that there is no evidence for a god, and (2) Baha'u'llah as auto-deity eliminates the possibility of existence of a "God" in the traditional sense. This concept is explained more simply (for theists) in the introductory Baha'i materials as "The source of all learning is the knowledge of God, exalted be His Glory, and this cannot be attained save through the knowledge of His Divine Manifestation."
