I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

Oftentimes you can tell through the course of conversations that atheism isn't about rational arguments nor is it about scientific evidence, this is really about "why can't I party like everybody else". It just oozes out, it's not even hidden. Because once you start breaking apart the intellectual disagreements, then the argument comes "but I don't feel like this is something I want to do".

When you say "feel".. "want" .. you're not talking your brain, you're talking your heart. And your heart is all that's matter on Judgement Day.

[Quran 26:89]
"إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ"
"When the only one who will be saved is the one who comes before God with a heart devoted to Him."

It's as if faith, when it comes to our minds, it is guidance and light, at the same time it's a reformation to the heart and a purifier for it. That's what faith is supposed to be. If it's not heartfelt, we're going to stay in loos.

It's called faith for a reason.
I'm an atheist because I like to live my life in the reality of facts.
But if faith is enough for someone, good luck to them.

@FreeSpirit1 You have the right to choose your way of life.
Human beings, however, are not 100% rational. You chose atheism out of faith, not facts.
@Madeleine Really? I do know one thing I have faith in, no one will ever prove the existence of God. If humans are not 100 percent rational then why do you put any faith into a book written about a god by a man who says an angel guided him.
Does that sound rational?

@FreeSpirit1 I believe in the unseen, that what makes me a believer. I believe in The Creator based on His creation. There's no piece of art without an artist, that's rational. What atheism offers is merely a belief based on what they want and desire to be "the reality". Can you prove that The Creator does not exist? No. You want to believe that there's no Creator so you won't have to worry about being held accountable for your actions.
@Madeleine Believe me when I tell you this, I do not worry about being held accountable for my actions by imagenay spirits and Gods other people believe in.
"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence".

@FreeSpirit1 I believe you. And I respect your choice. The point I'm trying to make is that atheism is not based on rational argument. It's merely a desire.
@Madeleine I know the point you're trying to make, It has no merit though. You are the one who believes in the unprovable and you believe it so much you want a non believer to prove your creator doesntexist.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@FreeSpirit1 For the sake of argument, what kind of proof do you need to prove the existence of God?
@Madeleine how about any proof
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@FreeSpirit1 Can you explain the origin of the universe?
@Madeleine Not as well as someone who studies that. Can you?
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@FreeSpirit1 It's well a established scientific fact that the universe had a beginning, this leaves us with four options:

1. The universe was created by nothing.
2. The universe created itself.
3. The universe was created by something created.
4. The universe was created by something uncreated.

Which option makes more sense to you and why?
