Islam; a religion in crisis

[Thor]

The same way I explain every other so-called holy book. Written by men with an agenda to control a specific population.

That's easy for you to say but you can't prove it, can you?

His explanation makes a lot more sense than the belief that a deity spoke to a man.

Occam's Razor.

Also, the Quran is not only for a specific population. It is for all people and for all times. I have refuted the issue in this thread.

If the Koran is supposed to be "for all people", then why did this deity only appear in one specific place? Why did he ignore all the people in Asia, the Americas, Australia, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, Scandanavia, etc, etc...? Why does this deity only make himself known to a tiny part of the Earth's population? And why does he not show up until the 6th century? Humans existed for many thousands of years prior to this. Why wait until relatively recently before appearing and giving people his laws? You'd think that this deity would've revealed himself long before. Especially when people were praying to stone idols, animals and the sun.

Can you answer these questions? Because I can. He only appeared in one specific place in the 6th century because one man (either deluded, crazy or incredibly smart) managed to convince the local populace that "God" was speaking to him.

And here we are, 1500 years later, and people STILL believe that a deity spoke to this man.

Incredible.
