Very true.
As long as those reasons are evidence based, and backed by valid and sound logic.
Which you do not have for Islam.

Again, true.
But your reasons seem to be 'feelings'. Which are a very poor reason to accept something as true. Especially when not supported by demonstrable evidence.
Basing beliefs on feelings is not a path to truth. There are 7 billion people on Earth. Over 5 billion of them believe different gods than Muslims. Most of them also base their beliefs on the same 'feelings' as you. Yet they come to different conclusions.
Quote:For example Islam can be a complete guidance, but is that necessarily a good thing? Does God want us to follow everything from him or come up with our own morals? That is debatable. I just think he rather have us follow his guidance and then come to understanding, as opposed, to be left without guidance.
Name one thing that Islam or the Quran has as guidance that COULD ONLY have come from a supernatural source.
Quote:Still, perhaps there are other religions that provide guidance in all spheres of life that can't be proven wrong. Or perhaps some hindu sect has a book superior to the Quran. I don't know.
It's not whether there is some reasonable guidance in various religious texts that counts, it whether they are true.
Quote:I am not going to go about this fast. Right now I am not Muslim. I am not going to just go into the religion just because I found some reasons to believe. I have to think about them for a long time.
Your history of posts here have never shown to have any reasonable level of critical thinking. Why start now?
Quote:Still there is other reasons I haven't mentioned yet. It has to do with this miracle code in the Quran. It has nothing to do with the number 19 or numerology. But a whole different thing all together. It can be coincidence but seems far fetch to me. I will talk about that later.
Oh bloody hell...
Google 'miracle code moby dick'.
Using the exact same methods used for the so called, 'Miracle code' in the Quran, similar predictions, etc have been found in Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick'.
Again...
No critical thinking skills.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
