That's an even more ludicrous question. As a strong agnostic I believe it to be literally impossible to determine with certainty whether something is an actual god. For all you know and for all you can know, the Quran could have been crafted by men, by demons, or by a particularly mischievous telepathic space alien from the Crab Nebula.
Observing life leads to believe in the Quran, from my perspective. You have your experiences in life to prove the verses of the book, validating it through and through. Or in other words: the argument from design.
If it was from a source different from God, much difference would have been seen in its verses, I hold the Sunni & Shiite Hadiths as my favorite examples.
This is how I see it: Killing innocent people in wars is just wrong because they didn't do a crime. But every constitution in the world allows it under so many different names like "collateral damage" or "they bombed us first" or "deterrence". The only book in the world that prevents me from killing these innocent souls -even through deterrence or collateral damage- is the Quran. If I do tactical bombing, I break the "eye for an eye" verse:
Quote:Sura 5, The Quran:
( 45 ) And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
A demonic book -in my perspective- would call for mass killing for example, and a smart demon would change the name of things: killing the innocent would be called "collateral damage", torture would be called "interrogation"...etc.
That's why eventually, I find salvation in the Quran, I won't lie: it's nothing but a feeling and observing for the design around me.
Thus, I believe God exists and he is the one who guided me to this. Not that I hear voices or anything; but I learned to read instead of singing.
But it's up to you, and only you. The Quran itself says it explicitly:
Quote:Sura 13, The Quran:
( 31 ) And if there was any qur'an by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur'an], but to Allah belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allah willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allah. Indeed, Allah does not fail in [His] promise.
A different verse stating the same concept:
Quote:Sura 17, The Quran:
( 13 ) And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck, and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open
If MK hate Sunnies with passion, I hate missionaries who impose their faiths on others by force or by constant bugging with passion; especially if they were Muslims claiming to believe in a book that told them TWICE to not do this act

Walls of insults have a different building material :p they tend to appear shorter than the usual textual walls, maybe it's Adrenaline kicking in for the reader, the more accurate and realistic you get with the insults, the shorter a long text would be to the reader...if you get what I mean .
But a wall of normal text is long, even if you overdose on Adrenaline -_-
