Objection one, your reasoning is unreasonable. If it's boring, then you should spice it up.
Your belief in god (and lets be honest... a great many other things) does not make that belief immune to criticism...particularly when you are attempting to establish both proof of that god and it;s system. You're not half as obtuse as that last post would make you out to be. I know that you're going to do better.
I, personally, don't think that you would feel any differently about the system if the god weren't real (and you knew it). From that standpoint (the only standpoint that matters to me...and the one where we have a shared experience) the existence of the god is irelevent...even if true....to whether or not we should follow the system. An "argument for islam" need not include any invocation of the reality of god...imo. It isn't enhanced by it in any way. If islam, the system, were shit then we wouldn't be arguing for it either way, eh? If it isn't shit...that probably doesn't have a damned thing to do with any gods. It can stand or fall on it's own, I assume?
