ArchivedQuestions about the QuranThat's a good one, but basically since i was a little kid I never bought into the idea that God has children. As a little kid that just sounded made up to me. In addition, the belief of my family is one of blind faith. They don't know why they do it, it makes them feel good like any other of a thousand religions of whose adherents are devotees. They claim that God or Jesus speaks to them like many other traditions. So the crux becomes that none of this is logical. What is logical though is that there is only God and that for him to communicate with His creation and guide them, he would need to send messengers and He did. So i dont' believe in original sin, or that the world is 6,000 years old, or that Isaac was the one who was to be sacrificed by Abraham or that God repented for a mistake he made (Ex 32:14) or that the Prophets throughout the bible were sinful, or that there is such a thing as the trinity, or that God has children, or that God came to earth in the form of a man, or that God was born of a woman, or that divinity can reside in the earthly form, or that Paul was actually inspired by God, or that the book of Revelations is actually a book of the Bible. Most if not all of those statements defy logic. And if we can't believe in God with our minds then you actually dont beleive in Him, he is a figment of your imagination. to put it succicntly, Islam, unequivocally and without a doubt, answers everyone of these questions, and for the most part, without having to address them directly. It offers arguments that can't be refuted on the grounds of logic alone to not only christianity, but judaism, hinduism, atheism, buddhism, etc. It has bonafide miracles in it and many Western Scientists, converted just after reading and studying the Quran. Go back[wards] to the religion of my grandfather indeed!! It would be a step backwards, enlightenment is so wonderful because its actually enlightened. One problem so far with christianity, i have never seen a christian philosopher prove the existence of God without using religion. That would be a step in the right direction for modern christian thought. It still wouldnt change the fundamental problem for me though..."Thou shalt have no other gods" |
