He/she is simply finding paragraphs from Islamic websites and pasting them here.Moslem wrote "He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes. No one shares His divinity, nor His attributes. In the Quran, God describes Himself:", after which followed the phrases I criticised.
Presumable though, moslem does in fact agree with the content that he/she is generously sharing with us but please do not expect any sort of meaningful or relevant response as, unless there is a site containing such a specific and beautifully tailored reply ready made, there will be none forthcoming.
He presents the phrases as the word of god, he presents god as an existing entity. He asks no questions about the phrases, he asks no questions about their validity, he asks no questions about the true origin of the words, he places no doubts about their abject moral content. Pasting words from other internet sites on this forum does not discharge him of the obligation to justify his reasons to do so. To make at least clear where he stands.
Therefore I think my critical response to his citations is fully justified in this place where posting quotes equals making a stance.
