Is atheism self-contradictory ?

[Astreja]

---

I am merely saying that without an exterior force you cannot trust your own thoughts about anything, that's about it.

The physical environment and the sensory input that it provides are adequate data for my needs.  (Adding a god to the mix doesn't necessarily increase the accuracy of one's thoughts anyway, because the god could be trying to mislead someone.)

So you're claiming that God cannot be proved with reason alone ? Empirical science cannot prove nor disprove the existence of a being independent of matter itself, if you're exclusively relying on empiral science to acquire facts about the world, then I'm afraid you need to enhance your proofs toolkit.

No, all I have to do is ignore and dismiss your entire god-concept as unfalsifiable, of no practical use in the real world, and of no relevance to my life.  I am under no obligation to go chasing after your imaginary friend in the unlikely chance that it might be out there somewhere.

I actually thought you mean by plagiarism that the Qur'an literally quoted sentences from the Bible.

Taking an existing story and rewording it is still plagiarism.  The copying does not have to be exact, and I never claimed that it was exact.  It's the content that has been misappropriated.

The story of the Prophet Solomon coming upon a valley of ants and being able to understand their language is a mere divine miracle narrated by the Qur'an, and there isn't something contradictory about it even if its sounds weird and likely to be a manufacture, we cannot prove that it is false.

I don't have to prove that; I merely have to consider it too childish and stupid to take seriously, and to question the sanity and maturity of people who *do* believe it.
