Now take this same argument you typed here and ask yourself if you would become a Christian or a Jew if they made this same argument to you.
Now a dose of reality for all of you.
The best way to determine the most accurate description of the nature of reality is, when you have multiple competing claims, is to take those claims into a neutral setting, put the claims under an established test with control groups, be able to test and falsify those claims, and then subject the claim to peer review to insure your starting data, methodology and formula and output data are correct. If your claim gets through all that, you are onto something. If it does not, you start over or you scrap it.
Bottom line what you typed was meaningless drivel.
Did I somehow miss that this was about Allah? Damn I have to start paying more attention.
Didn't have to mention Allah, but when you play chess for 13 years you know the bait used to draw you in. This is to prevent him from making it evidence of his particular god. Preventative strike consider it.
I've seen this "how do you know" and "what is truth" woo from all sorts of religious people over the past 13 years.
I find it absurd for someone to come onto an atheist website anywhere and put their position next to where it says "belief" then avoid talking about it when it is glaringly obvious by that alone they think they are right. I don't post the word "atheist" because I think I am wrong and I am not afraid at all to defend my position.
Many of the theists who debate us at least try to argue their position. If all he wants to be is a spectator then he should not have started this thread.
