~Peace..

Thank you for answering...

I'll take you at your word. So, you claim to have been a rationalist and then decided that irrationality was the way to go?

Interesting choice. As long as you don't wrap yourself in dynamite and blow up a bus it doesn't matter to me what you believe.

The opposite Minimalist. But we could be here all day going back and forth on this.

The opposite? I thought Minimalist brought up a good point. What about Islamic faith do you find more rational than atheistic reasoning?

What point did Minimalist bring up at all? One that you have pieced together in your own mind?

His point was that you went from rationality to irrationality.. You are on an atheist site and have been atheist - presumably you are aware that atheists view religious belief as irrational... Comprehension of his post did not require piecing anything together.. His point was obvious..

I think the jab was the second sentence.. I was not referring to this.. hence my next question falls from his first which is asking what about the faith you found rational..

Conclusive evidence, at the end of the day.
Any Muslim will know of the Scientific miracles of the Qur'an, that nothing in Islam goes against modern Science. Full stop. The fact that they walk hand in hand to this day, and that such things were revealed in the Qur'an 1400 years ago is just one miracle of the Qur'an.

Most atheists are also skeptics... Skeptics tend to (usually not always) analyze arguments for and against a premise prior to acceptance lest they find themselves emotionally espousing fallacies or embracing nonsense..

I'm curious if you were the kind of person who considered yourself an atheist and critically investigated Islamic claims prior to acceptance... If so, what were your sources of evidence for and against Islamic scientific claims and what evidence, logic or combination etc.. convinced you that Islamic claims were sound.. scientifically true.. or reasonable.. and if not, what kind of atheist were you? Some people claim atheism not out of rationality but out of emotional isolation.. or rejection of morality.. and they "find" religion again usually in another religion or some form of spirituality.. but in truth they never left it.. "belief"... They left the community or particular myth not irrationality or blind/unsound belief...

Take embryonic development. The big bang. The roundness of the Earth. The seperation of the seas. And that's to name very few.
