Just joined this forum with only one intention: to learn.
I would believe that majority of you guys are atheists (or agnostics) and all the others are here to simply convert you to their respective religions !
I would however prefer learning about Atheism. And there are so many aspects to it that I cant possibly list it down here.
For example, Atheists rejects Bible and Quran, etc. as Books of God; rejects the concept of Afterlife; rejects the creation of Man, etc. etc. But what exactly are the arguments (with proofs) for all these rejections?
Further, Atheism believes in sovereignty of Man. but what do you mean by it? How would you define the concept of Freedom and Liberty in Atheism? And how do you propose we should live our collective lives, politically, economically, and socio-culturally? Are these any moralistic or ethical topics in this religion?
And so on and on and on. You would agree with me that real learning happens in real discussion where one point leads to another point and so on. So I am interested in engaging myself with learned Atheists--not the militant aggressive Atheists and especially not those who show disrespect of other beliefs
As for myself: I am a Muslim through and though. I believe that there is only ONE God, Allah, and that my proof is nothing but Quran. If you destroy Quran, you destroy my faith. Its as simple as that. Unfortunately, I personally believe, that heavy majority of Atheists know Bible very well and that they believe that since Bible is clearly not the word of God, any other book claiming to be so is also not the word of God. Its a convenience really. But that is not the truth. However, I DONT WANT TO discuss Quran. I want to learn Atheism.
Hopefully, this introduction was not boring. Again, I extend my heartiest and warmest welcome to all of you. Hopefully, I will make several cool friends during my stay
Peace.
Ahw, you remind me of Rayaan. Where is he anyway, I miss his smile.
and remember that there is no need for a god to be good. If there is a god, it can't judge you for how... imperfect it made you.
