Hello

[Abu Taj al Deen]

I told you that I'm still in the 'polite phase'. Patience. Ask godschild what the next phase is.

Now, as to your particular holy book, no, from the little I read I can see that it is basically the same crap as every other religious text. A song and dance to con people into thinking that some men have a hot line to 'god.' I'm afraid to say that after exposure to religious thinking it is very easy to recognize bullshit when one sees it and I was born catholic...the very KINGS of bullshit.

Well, my friend, your first problem is to provide actual evidence that your god is any more real than any of the others invented by the fertile minds of men throughout history. Allah = zeus = yahweh = quetzlcoatl.....etc, etc. Claiming that you read it in your holy book isn't evidence....it's propaganda of the same type that jews and xtians use...and let's not forget mormons and all the rest!

Whether or not there is a god is almost an irrelevancy. "Religion" however does exist to the detriment of humanity since the dawn of human society.

Look, unless you're going to back up even one of your 'arguments' with some kind of evidence, then it reads as bigger BS than anything you're claiming to read as BS for sure.

So you are here to challenge yourself. Very good.

But I don't think you're going to find anything you haven't heard before, especially if you frequent forums as much as you say you do. In any case, good luck.

Challenging myself is how I came to Islam.
But I wouldn't say that's what I'm doing here.

I'm here for dialogue, and self motivation.
To learn more about myself and become stronger as a Muslim and a human, from exposure to people different than I.

I don't frequent forums like I used to. That's part of the problem, I've found.
