Which places your particular belief at exactly the same level as all of those.

If you want to really believe that, but I won't confirm it. Rather I testify God proved himself through his proofs and rehearsed his signs unto humans through an instance of his proof.

From my point of view, you are testifying the things that were passed on to you by other people... people you know, people you trust, people... and they got it from other people, who got it from yet other people... and, ultimately, from the people who wrote the book you follow.
People, not any god, are at the heart of this whole ordeal.
Granted, Islam directly states that it was a person that got the revelation and whatnot.... but still.... it was a person!
I cannot trust that person.
I seriously doubt that any god worthy of the name (I know you like god's names) would entrust such an important thing as it's real existence in the hands of one person.
I seriously doubt it would be down to a matter of believing (mimicking all the other preexisting religions)...
I seriously doubt that, if god wanted me to acknowledge its existence, I (and many others) would be left in the dark.
I seriously doubt that, if god wanted me to acknowledge its existence, it would come on a vessel of human origin - book or person.

If god wanted everyone on Earth to acknowledge its existence, god would have made it plain, as plain as gravity. Instead, we have this hodgepodge of competing religions, all based on the exact same premise - belief.

I've been following some of your threads and your proofs have been always lacking. I've told you this on a few of those threads, but it seems you're on a track of your own, like if you have a script, or at least some guidelines and you can't deviate.
Why? Why do you do this?
