Think about all of the elaborate internal value systems you'd have to explain to justify even those few comments you made up there, and then consider your dismay when none of that, even, gets you to allah.
I don't want to get into comparative religion here because it'll become really messy, but since there is no serious competitor to Islam, it must be that Islam is God's message - assuming God exists.
I know atheists are fond of bringing out the problem of incompatible revelations, but it's a very weak objection in my opinion. They're just too lazy to consider the plausibility of each revelation.
Religions that are local, or which advocate for some individuals to be the incarnation of God, or for one nation to be God's chosen nation, can't be taken seriously. Islam doesn't have any of these fatal defects, so it's most likely the only one that should be examined more closely.
This is the point where you full on flee reality, isn't it? OFC there are "serious competitors" to islam...what can you even mean by that absurd statement?
Who said anything about incompatible revelations in comparative religion? Is that the thing you'd rather talk about, than be held accountable for the nonsense that keeps falling from your own mouth?
Oh, so now a god can't even have a chosen people? Fucking A you believers are thirsty. Maybe gods just not into you? Don't feel bad, never asked me over to netflix and chill either.
Again, consider all of the justifications you'd have to make for each of these statements..each likely to be more absurd than the last if the past few posts are any indication...and remember, even you know that it's not on the basis of any of these "arguments" that you believe what you do. They're all ad hoc rationalizations for an immediate perceptual belief.
