Which god? See just like Christians and Jews and Hindus all of you keep forgetting your claims are not the only one. Get in line, take a number.

The one his living name and leader and Guide glorifies and manifests through his glorification, speech, and light, the mystic link we are connected to, the most biggest foundation to God's religion, the manifestation of the path, the clear proof and evidence we cannot escape but are constantly connected to.

Messengers were all mocked, I am in good company.

Yep, and every other religion gets mocked too, so? This is the downside of all religions, they teach the buyers to be self centered as if the buyer is the only one who knows what it is like to be picked on. Any atheist you know can tell you they get picked on too. Atheists get picked on by every religion. 

It never occurs to humans that we are not a separate species. Islam gets picked on? Allah and Mo get picked on? Yes and? So do the fans Jesus and Buddha and Yahweh and Vishnu. Religion teaches narcissism and far too often allows a buyer to play victim even when they are not.

There certainly are Muslims whom are victims, such as when Sunnis and Shiites murder each other. Or when Muslims murder Christians  or gays. But so are Muslims murdered by Christians. So are gays and blacks in America murdered by Christians. I'd say if the worst anyone of any label gets is being mocked, you are having a good day.

So the solution to the problem of religions among each other is for God to not provide a true one? Is this what you are saying?

Providing one at all would be a good step. All I see is people making shit up.

Huh. I feel like this thread may have had something to do with nihilism at some point. Oh yeah, MK is here now to "prove" his tooth fairy.

It was about meaning, but you guys have tendency to always ask for proof of God whenever he is mentioned. Not my fault you guys always digress every subject to that.

For example, if I am discussing religion without arguing for God, most posts are then about providing proof for God demanded by people.

Nope. I just ask for proof when you make bald assertions. Were you not listening again?

It's not my fault you make so many empty claims.

You still refuse to do this, doubt you ever will because you are a broken record. 

Try thinking TO YOURSELF, would this paragraph you just typed work to convert you to another religion if someone of another religion used this same argument to try to convince you they were right?

This is merely YOU being dreamy eyed, so what. Seen that sparkle in the eye of the buyer from every religion. We already know you are in love with your religion so what. We see those same appeals from others too. Get in line take a number.

Replace the word "God" in your paragraph and put in "Yahweh" or "Vishnu" or "Buddha"..... You wont do that because you are scared you might find out your claims are not special. I hope someday you are intellectual brave enough to do it.

The only thing you've proven is that you have a hard time dealing with the fact that many of us see your god as fictional.

That, MK, is a totally reprehensible lie.  I cannot and do not hate fictional characters.

I can, however, develop an enduring and implacable antipathy towards you personally, as I intensely dislike people who tell falsehoods about me.   Apologize, you sanctimonious little brat.

No, the solution is for humans, not just you, not just your religion, but humans worldwide to consider that maybe they are all made up. Maybe you need to consider, just like a Christian and Jew and Hindu, maybe that is merely something your parent's and your society sold you. Maybe you need to consider, like the Jew and the Hindu and the Buddhist, that those are merely reflections of bad guesses humans made in antiquity.

There is no "true God/god/gods/deity", there are merely humans who like the idea of having super heros.

There is nothing upstairs helping us, the only thing helping humans are other humans.
