I like you Mr. MysticKnight, but your post was a little confusing. First of all, I don't need Allah or the Quran to tell me how great my life is. I could be an ameba in a petri dish in a laboratory or somebody struggling in Somalia. Life is valuable.
Life can be tough at times. Just ask Altas with their MS, epilepsy and living Saudi with the threat of Saudi Gulags. But at least I have clean drinking water, nice food to eat and other nice things.
Can you explain the names of Allah, why it is important? Why does Allah need all these different names? The god of the Zarathustrians has one-hundred-and-one names - that's two more than Allah. That's probably where they got all these names of Allah from.

You said it yourself, Allah has signs. We should see the signs and that good enough, no? So why does Allah need all of these different names? We are told Allah can do anything after all. Some of the names aren't even in the Quran - they are found only in the Hadith, and people disagree on them - and I'm sure Atlas can elaborate on this.
Do I utter a different name of Allah depending on what Dua outcome I want? I'm not really sure that you've told us why names are important. Mathematics, people have argued that before about the Quran - but it's nothing a human couldn't do - especially with all kinds of amazing computer hardware and software of today.
