If I truly thought that I have a cognitive bias towards Islam, then I would've automatically become an atheist by now, and by myself, without even coming here. So, that's not the reason why I came to an atheist forum. .....

What you have is cognitive dissonance, not cognitive bias.

No it's not, cognitive dissonance is holding two contradictory ideas to be true simultaneously.

Rayaan's belief in Allah despite no epistemic justification is caused by biases.

I don't think it's possible to know you have a bias and honestly reach a conclusion based on it, so that's perfectly true. Your truly beleiving you don't have biases towards Islam says nothing about whether or not you do.

Your belief that the Quran being "perfect" (a subjective term to begin with) is evidence for Islam is one example of one cognitive bias.

Quote: So, that's not the reason why I came to an atheist forum. I just post here every now and then to exercise my brain during my leisure time and especially to make you folks understand what is Islam.

Want the most hefty brain workout you will ever have? Present us with an epistemology that you believe is sound and valid and permits belief in Islam.

Quote:And I believe that this is a good deed also (whether I'm successful at it or not). And surprisingly, I feel that my faith in Islam has only become stronger, not weaker, as a result of participating in the forum during the past few months.

So you believe something more strongly? So what?

Quote:And having said that, let's get back to the topic now before it starts derailing too much. SERVER ISSUES. Tongue

Okay, create a thread about your epistemology, we'll continue this there.

Working on a proxy server so I guess I'll just have to wait for my dns to update.

EDIT: Just updated my DNS Server Addresses so I'm good to go Big Grin

Don't know if you noticed but the forum is down and is not working in the least.

I can't even go to the server issues thread.

then how did you post that?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I had to change DNS, my ISP's nameserver was delayed.
