forbidding people to love each other
RE: forbidding people to love each other

Okay, so what? We know laws describe how nature behaves and are not some independent entity which physically exists. You explicitly said they don't require a god. And you didn't bother to prove this.

(July 3, 2021 at 9:49 am)The Grand Nudger Wrote: As ever, you supplied this fallacy of equivocation with a demonstrably false assertion even if we correct the equivocation.  Gods are not required for descriptive laws of nature, nor are they required for the normative laws of mans construction.

You just keep asserting that they're not required. How do you know? That nature's behavior follows laws is usually presented as evidence of fine-tuning.. Wouldn't a universe designed by a deity be expected to have these descriptive laws ?

Also, you can't compare the universe with man's construction. As man only transforms existent matter.

Don’t you think that it puts Islam and the notion of a god in an awkward position to be subject to and verifiably false based on the whims of your own narrow biases?

If I must believe in a fallacy of equivocation supplied with demonstrably false premise for your god to exist, for your religion to be true.....if I must believe that homosexuality is evil or unnatural.... then, put plainly, these are the criteria by which your god and your religion can be shown to be false as you would concede and as no one disputes.

How exactly do you get from "homosexuality is evil" to "Islam is false". ?? There are homosexual Muslims out there, and although they are commiting a sin, this fact alone doesn't negate their faith. Islam states that a number of practices are evil, not just homosexuality, there is fornication, usury, consuming alcohol, etc. these are just rules of behavior and their existence doesn't prove in any way that Islam is false.

God's existence is supported by deductive, analogical and inductive arguments. Inductive arguments do start from empirical observation of aspects of design/fine-tuning, etc. The reason why God's existence can appear impossible to fully articulate is probably because it's the most self-evident fact, such that trying to reach it begs its truth.
