General argument for Islam.

At age 5, I thought "religion is a load of poop". It seemed like some stupid game people were playing, including the adults. By the time I realized they were actually being serious, I thought it was even more stupid. It was obvious to me that a book can't validate itself, and that is literally all religions have in the real world. A book.

When I started looking into religion much more closely, I found it was even worse than I thought. Not only is stuff like the bible and the kerrang obviously just written by some dumb arses, it's full of contradictions and absurdities. It wouldn't convince a child that it was real without everyone around them acting like it was true and force-feeding them delusion as fact.

Then I found it was even worse than that! I'd always assumed Jesus was a real person, and did pretty much what the bible said minus the supernatural stuff. But I discovered the evidence for jesus existing at all is dodgy at best, and it seems to be similarly the case for Islam's jesus. By this time it was clearer than ever what an utter pile of horse shit the whole thing is. Even making a case for these special characters being at all real was extremely difficult, and obviously verifying supernatural claims actually impossible.

Plus, there's this whole thing where nothing is going on. I don't know what world some theists live in, but it's not the same one as me. If some weird stuff did go down in the distant past, it's long since been over and done with.
