"There are a lot more authentic historical facts about Muhammad than about Jesus (peace be upon them)."
And I repeat, that's a really low bar.
Quote:All the verses in the Quran make perfect sense and they are presented in a highly poetic style which not even a sane person could produce with a conscious effort.
And I repeat, artists (poets) can't be crazy then? To be more specific, in case you're not understanding me, your logic is because someone writes beautiful poetry, he can't be crazy?
Quote:Yes, but that's not the point. The point is that it's not possible for someone to be mentally crazy and yet hear words in Arabic in such a rhymed fashion as the verses in the Quran (for 23 years).
So, your logic is if someone writes beautiful poetry in Arabic, his native language, and does so for 23 years, he can't possibly be crazy?
Quote:But firstly, you should make up your own mind on which is a more rational theory of the two (liar or lunatic) and then tell me why you think so.
Actually, I'm under no such obligation, any more than you are under any such obligation for "prophets" of religions you don't believe in. Your arguments that Muhammad couldn't possibly have been deluded are underwhelming. What about your arguments that Muhammad couldn't possibly have been a liar?
