Glad to see you admit it!

Quote:But it's more like, Islam is the religion of the one true God.
And what makes you think your deity is any more real than other people who claim their religion pays homage to the "one true god"?
Quote:Either Islam is the true religion or all religions are false
Well, Islam is not "the true religion", therefore....
Quote:If you think that Islam is a false religion, then you should first point out a single historical evidence or report which says that the Prophet (pbuh) was a dishonest person or that he wrote the Quran himself.
I have a better idea... why don't YOU provide some evidence that your deity truly exists?
Quote:But so far, no scholar or intelligent person has ever been able to do this according to my knowledge.
Can you find a single historical report that says Joseph Smith was dishonest, or that he wrote the Book of Mormon himself? I'll bet you can't! And Jospeh Smith lived less than 200 years ago in a society that was highly literate and kept written records. Yet you expect us to find some historical evidence that your prophet was dishonest when he lived well over a thousand years ago in a mostly illiterate society? If you want to use this tactic, you should be a Mormon because there is more reason to believe in their prophet than in yours.
Quote:For the past two years I was researching many things about the Quran and looking into the scientific facts in the Quran and I didn't find any reason to believe that such a great work of Arabic literature could be written by a single human being who lived 1,400 years ago in the desert.
Please share some of these "scientific facts" that are in the Koran. Does it tell us how to harness nuclear power? Does it tell us how to build an airplane? Does it explain why earthquakes occur?
Quote:How could he be so successful and gain so many followers if he was just spreading falsehoods?
Are you kidding? There have been many charismatic men (and women) who have spread falsehoods and attracted legions of followers! Ever hear of Jim Jones?
Quote:All the things I've that I've read about the Prophet (pbuh) and the Quran has led me to believe that what he has given to the world can only be a revelation from God.
What was revealed that could only possibly have come from an omnipotent deity?
Quote:"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to God), never will it be accepted of him." (Surah 3:85)
"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and I have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (Surah 5:3)
Koran verses.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Now explain why your deity only revealed himself to the Arab world. Why didn't he reveal himself to people in Asia? Southern Africa? Europe? Australia? The Pacific islands? Scandanavia? Wouldn't he want to reveal himself to all the people of the world? Why restrict himself to Arabs? Unless, of course, the whole story surrounding this deity is utter crap.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
