Before you read this, I want you to know the man who wrote it is anti-Islam and he might say some stuff that will hurt you. BUT I really want to know what you think. I would love to give him an answer. I am SO sorry it is long. I hope you can help me with this.
Human Concepts and Fallacies of God
A lot of people will hate me after this one but oh well, just read and think:
Humans are born; they come from a mother, who comes from another mother. We believe everything is like us. Everything in the universe must have an origin like us. Everything must have a beginning and an end.
The concept of God is human concept.
In Religion, god is sometimes seen as angry, disappointed (Christianity), surprised, happy, jealousy (Christianity), revengeful, etc.
to have these emotions, one would have to have a human brain. Humans are the only creatures in the universe (as far as we know) who are capable of having emotions. In order to have these emotions, god would have to have a brain like ours with chemical reactions that would enable him to have these emotions.
This is a HUMAN concept. How can God have human emotions if he is greater than all of us? Does this mean he feels sad and depressed and other emotions? Then this brings the question where did god come from, and we have no answer for it. Religions say he is always there and always were and make it a sin to ask such question. It’s only a sin because they can’t answer your question, they don’t know it either.
Religious people make excuses like well if there is no god, where did the universe come from? This is another HUMAN concept. We are born from mothers and we are raised to think that everything has a beginning and an end. Everything must have an origin like we do.
WHAT IF, the universe has always been and always will be? The universe is a concept we just don’t understand yet. You can’t ask where did it come from and who created it because it doesn’t have to come from anywhere.
No Choice
God of religions (abrahamic god) doesn’t make sense. He supposedly gives life to people and gives them a brain to choose and make decisions. According to religion, he gives you the mind to think. What about crippled people who cant even care for themselves? What did they do to deserve it? Anyway but there is a catch! You can choose anything to believe in, but if you don’t choose to believe in God he will burn you in hell with flames a million times hotter than ours! This is not much of a choice now is it? It seems he is making all this to entertain himself. He gave you a choice of Me or Fire.
Why would he demand worship from his creation? This is also illogical. If he wants respect or appreciation, then we can thank him and appreciate him, but we choose not to follow his so-called religions. Why does he have the NEED to be worshipped? Is he competing with other Gods? Is he Jealous? Seriously think about this for a second. It makes no sense what so ever. Does Allah care about me so much that he is willing to burn me in eternal hellfire?[/b] He wants me to have the religion so bad that he would burn me?
Crime and Punishment
In the justice systems of modern countries, punishments must NOT outweigh the crime. In other words, when you kill someone, they will give you 25 years of imprisonment, or they might even give you the death penalty (USA, Middle East, Asia, etc). The important thing here is the punishment must not be too cruel that it outweighs the crime. Comprende? The USA has a law called Cruel and Unusual Punishment which makes it illegal to torture prisoners.
Disbelief is a crime?
According to religion, NOT believing in Allah or Jehovah is a SIN, or in other words it is a crime. But how can DISBELIEF be a crime? If one chooses not to believe, forcing him/her will never convince the person. If god gave me the brain to choose freely, why does he burn me for eternity? This goes back to Crime and Punishment. God is NOT fair! He is torturing me for all of eternity just because I didn’t believe in him? This is psychotic and inhumane! Is the creator of the universe really this selfish that he DEMANDS respect? Why is he an egotistical male to begin with? Is it my fault as a human being that I am not convinced by some books thousands of years old? Will I force myself to believe them? Let’s say I got really scared and I wanted to believe in Islam because I didn’t want to go to hell, isn’t this a selfish reason for believing in God?
Most religious people are scared of God or more specifically, they are scared of Hell, so they believe. Doesn’t god know that you only believe out of fear?
Good and Evil
If god is all-powerful, then why doesn’t he stop evil that is on this earth? He doesn’t want to? If he doesn’t then that means he is letting evil live, but more importantly, he CREATES evil men like Hitler and Saddam, this would mean he is evil himself, wouldn’t it? Just think about it. If God CANNOT stop evil, this means God is not all-powerful. Maybe God doesn’t KNOW about it, then he is not all-knowing. Why does God sit on his chair in the sky and watch as millions of people die everyday from disease, viruses, war, famine, plagues, guns, drugs, religious warfare. Is this all just some kind of entertainment?
If God is forgiving, then he cannot give justice
If your brother is killed and later in life the killer is forgiven by God because he asked for forgiveness, and god forgives him, God is not giving you justice for your loss. Even if God doesn’t forgive the killer, and decides to burn him for all of eternity, isn’t he outweighing the crime by punishing him so severely?
If He is so powerful why would he send a prophet in the middle of a desert? A prophet who lived thousands of years ago? Why wouldn’t he just show himself so I can believe him instead of trying to believe so-called prophets? Why wouldn’t he just show himself so that Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sheiks, Buddhists, all unite under one God and realize he is there and worship him? Wouldn’t that save millions of innocent lives that have been deceased just in the name of God? We would have never had the Crusades, we would’ve never had the Muslim Conquests which included the slaughter of millions in the name of Allah, we might not have had the colonization of Africa by the European countries in aims to spread Christianity and take spoils of war at the same time. We would not have millions of people who are of the same country and origin kill each other because one is Muslim and one is Christian (Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Kurdistan, Iraq, etc)
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there is no God. The god of the religions and a higher being is a completely different thing. This is a common misconception. Many have views of what God is like. Allah is the Islamic way of viewing the higher power that created the universe. According to Christians, Jesus is God in the flesh that created the universe. These religions have their point of view on how God is like. Do you believe it is realistic that this Supreme Being decides to send a holy book or divine revelation to an illiterate man in a cave 1400 years ago? This sounds like an interesting movie or a cartoon show. If you read the bible, you will read that during Armageddon, Jesus comes back and fights against Satan with his big sword.
But notice how when they wrote the bible, they forgot to think about how we would have much more advanced weapons in the While Jesus is using a sword, I am using a AK-47 Kalashnikov, now youfuture tell me who is more deadly
Although these religious books include good messages such as don’t kill, treat thy neighbor with respect, they create so much division among humanity, they create holy wars because they believe their book is correct and the other is wrong, when in fact, all of them are based upon the same foundation.
God Vs. Satan
According to religion (again), Satan was an angel who refused to bow down to humans, when God instructed him to. Because according to God, humans are his most important and dazzling creations, the Satan felt he was greater than humans. This brings up a question, why are we so great? We are weak, our bodies are fragile, we cannot survive physically, but our minds help us to think. A Cheetah can run 55 miles an hour, a hawk can ride the sky, a whale is the biggest sea animal. Why are we so special? Anyway, carrying on;
Satan becomes the devil and the bad guy. He tests human beings to see if they do bad things. In a sense, he becomes the opposite of God, Gods opposition you could say, Gods competition. If god is so great why doesn’t he just get rid of Satan by a snap of his fingers (if he has any)? This is the number one excuse: Because life is a test. Number 2 excuse is this: Satan burns people.
Let’s pretend Satan burns people, who created Satan? Who created hell? Why does God allow Satan to exist? Didn’t god know from the start that Satan will be the devil? (God is all knowing right?)
Life is NOT a test
God is All-knowing according to religion. He can tell the past, present and future. If he can tell the future, then he should have known that I will turn out to be an unbeliever or kafir as they would call me. So why did he create me? I didn’t ask him for life, when I was born, I never agreed to believe in him, how can he impose this burden on me? When Allah was making me, he KNEW! This one will be called Komal, and he will not believe in me and as a result I will send him to hell This is psychotic, why would he create me just for his enjoyment of burning me?
In conclusion, I am not trying to discourage anyone from believing anything. You can believe in a rock as long as you don’t throw them at other people. Personally, I don’t like these religions because they don’t have respect for humanity. Their view of God is so horrible and dark. As I’ve written so far, their gods are illogical, and they go against common sense.
I suppose someone will ask me this question do you believe in god?.
I believe in a higher being, this can be a person, a thing, or even aliens. I do not believe in a God who is busy watching over high school girls to see if they have sex so he can burn them later in hell. I believe if there is a god, he is beyond human understanding. He is a principle or a law that holds the universe together. Humans are the most interesting beings in the universe, the chances of humans being a cosmic accident is one in trillions, something had to be responsible. Or MAYBE we are just a cosmic accident, this should not change anything. Life is life and it is precious. Maybe we are just a part of universal process that does NOT have to revolve around us, we are just merely here living in this big universe. Not everything has to be about us.

), we'll all get out of Hell if we actually learned something from our punishment!
