Well atheism isn't a religion nor does it have scripture, you're not really comparing like with like.
No matter, ultimately, as I think we both know that there are any number of more recent beliefs and religions whose closer space in time to us is not taken by you to be indicative of it's greater accuracy. Chiefly, each and every thing that exposes your beliefs for the sham that they have always been. This renders your previous comments moot..and more than just a little bit disingenuos... on their own grounds.
Quote:Muslims believe the christian religion/judaism were originally from God, so the Qur'an having many things in common with these religions isn't surprising.Mhm, that's exactly what I just said. That was islams first problem - the rest was just a pile-on. I consider that to be the pure tragedy of the religion - as it didn't have to do that. It ends up expressing a far more progressive view of the world than it's predecessors and alot of the hinkiest shit can be directly tied to it's having held it's own credibility hostage to those other comparatively retrograde faiths.
That which is not true, must be true.....somehow...for islam to be true. An unenviable position to be in.
