Heck, a person coming to you "shaking" and crying yet scream "I'M NOT SCARED" is of course giving a big blow to her/his credibility !
One thing that made me believe in Islam is the self esteem God has. Throughout the Quran, there is a constant theme : either you believd or not, god will exist, he always existed, he always shall.
The character of "God" you mean. When writing fiction, one can endow their characters with whatever attributes suit their dramatic purposes. Means nothing.
Quote:That is what Noah told his people when they wanted to kick him and his followers out for believing in god.
He had clear orders not to force faith upon anybody because simply : god is not begging for believers !
There is zero evidence any such Noah existed.
Quote:Another verse :
( 8 ) And Moses said, "If you should disbelieve, you and whoever is on the earth entirely - indeed, Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy." page 256, Quran.
There is zero evidence any such character as Moses existed.
Until you can demonstrate these characters exist(ed), God, Noah, Moses, et al, we might as well be discussing the attributes of Obi Wan Kenobi or Darth Vader for all the relevance it has to reality.
