ATHEIST, not athiest, spellcheck is your friend, of course looking at the banner never hurt.

I need to ask you an honest question first, when you were 18 did you still believe in a god/creator while questioning your core beliefs?

I took a philosophy class, which really made me question my faith. I had believed that religion was something man made. At that time also, things weren't going good for me either, I was depressed at times, and I abandoned my religion. At the time I was still curious about other religions, but I had made up my mind I wasn't Muslim. It was also because my parents were religious, but they had a lot of hardships. So i thought why do my parents pray to God, and get nothing in return. Weather the thought of God existing at that time, I would say no, but it only lasted like 9 months, close to a year. Within this time, i started doing things, I normally wouldnt do as a Muslim. I started going to parties, drinking, smoking...... I was basically living life the way I wanted to. However something inside me didn't feel right after a while of living like that. So I started researching more, watched alot of youtube videos actually. The ones that caught my attenion were the Zakir Naik videos, and from there the idea of God arose again.

I am going to have to give u a link, because if I retype it, i would be here forever.

Here is a link. http://www.islamanswers.net/Quran/references.htm

I just couldn't ignore these references, just wanna get the viewpoint of Atheists of this.

If you're going to be so lazy that you'll only post a link then I'm going to do exactly the same.

So go do some reading;

Thanks for the link, I didnt know people tried debunking the scientific references. I will analyze this and get back. And i wasn't being lazy... It wouldn't make sense for me to retype pages and pages...
