The power of faith directed at Christians and Muslims

[Mystic]

I am going to advice the one thing Prophet Mohammad advised his people (see Suratal Saba): "Rise up and ponder, by yourself and in groups"

Easy to believe you thought things through. You have to reinvestigate your thoughts over and over again. You have to try to see arguments that would falsify your strong beliefs.

OK.

Ponder this.

You posted this on an atheist board.

That atheist board attempts to make arguments that would falsify theists' beliefs.

So, those who see your post are going out in search of arguments that might falsify their beliefs.

This is true. I guess I'm preaching to the choir

But while I was Muslim, I use to visit Atheist forums. All the arguments they come up with against Islam where either subjective or invalid arguments or unsound arguments. The same is true of Christians (and Christians are really obsessed with disproving Islam).

The youtube videos about contradictions of Quran are also filled with solvable contradictions.

I had to find arguments against Islam/Quran that no Atheist came up with that I was aware of at least from researching.

Sometimes also if we come up with the reasoning ourselves, we are more inclined to accept it.

So don't just rely on others to debunk your arguments. I would say you yourself have to "think" about arguments that would debunk your beliefs.

Muslims have believed in Quran is without contradictions and errors, perhaps primarily because they rely on others to show it has some.

But in essence, you are right, I am preaching to those following this already.

But Rayaan came debating with Atheists (in beginning look at his threads and posts, I time to time pick a member and just go through some of their old posts). They didn't disprove his religion.

So if you just rely on others...to prove you wrong...well people don't care as much to guide you to the truth as you should care to guide yourself to the truth.

Another example is the recent Hindu in our midst. Most of us have no idea about Hindu texts, we cannot really show he is wrong. The best person to debunk his own beliefs is himself. Of course it takes a struggle to overcome bias and delusions. But it can always be done.
