1. Because no one can prove the Creator doesn't exists when there is abundance of evidence relating to the existence of supernatural higher intelligence.
2. Because no one can prove at least one thing from the whole universe existed out of nothing, and when everything is subjected to the laws of cause and effect.
3. Because no one can prove that they exists (quatum physics), so maybe we are the one who is not really existed.
4. Because I have nothing to lose. If there is no God, then it is fine. I died and there is no issue. But if there is God, I have followed the rules. Besides, the rules is not so bad.
5. Because it is fun, and God don't ask me to believe in Him, hell, paradise, sin, reward etc. This is the minimum requirement to be a Muslim. He just ask me to be concerned with the practical aspect of life.
It is just my opinion.
Hi muslimatheist, sorry I don't know how to do the multpost thing and break up your post.
I want to argue with point 1: what, then is the "abundant evidence" for a "supernatural intelligence" ?
point 2: The universe may well have come out of nothing. Or it may not. The truth is, we don't know yet. But why is that an argument for god?
point 3: Irrelevant. You are here, I am here . We can only go on what we see and think and feel.
Point 4: it sounds like you are continuing to follow religious rules. Why? Camouflage so as not to stand out? Or to hedge your bets just in case? Then you are not honest with yourself and others and that deceit and lack of integrity will eat you up. And I disagree that the rules are not so hard
. If I believe there is no god then to follow rules like praying five times a day , being righteous in front of others and having part of my cock cut off is too hard.
point 5: Where is the fun in living a lie to other's rules? Ask a muslim woman how much fun it is. She will be too afraid to answer honestly.
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
