I want to add something regarding a key issue. I quote you, "Your beliefs are also fantasy; and talk about arrogance, it's you guys who talk about what god wants and what the afterlife will be like." I don't know who you mean by 'you guys,' but I assume you mean Muslims. The fantasy I meant is the creating of ideas about God's nature entirely based on your own imagination. This is what you are doing. Divine prophets received their ideas through Revelation, and people believed them because they often had miracles or were prophesied by earlier prophets. This is an entirely different process, it is witnessing real evidence of something that can only be attributed to God and then drawing conclusions from it whereas you are simply making ideas up.
All religious people, and here I include those atheists who will only accept fully established facts, just follow the teachings of others. Surely this is a position of humbleness. If scientists tell you the Moon is made from rock because astronauts went there and brought some back, but you preach that it is made from cheese because you concluded it from your own imagination, it is pretty obvious who is the arrogant one. Likewise if you make up ideas about God when prophets are telling you different, the same applies. You might ask why a person should believe a prophet. Well if a man managed to part the Red Sea by tapping his stick on it and claims that this power comes from God, then people tend to believe it. Obviously in times when there are no prophets the evidence is the records of those events and your choice is to believe in that evidence or not. Instead, you are following your own ego by philosophizing and speculating. In thinking you can figure out, not just creation, but God Himself and without any evidence, I cannot imagine a position of greater arrogance. |
