But which one? There are so many gods and so many religions to chose from.

Athiests are not selective. They deny the existence of all gods.

I have had a read of some of your docs on scribd. Your are obviously well versed in islam apologetics.

Intelligent people can believe stupid things, but are just good at finding clever reasons to excuse their beliefs.

What I think you are missing is the bigger picture. Like most muslims you view the world as Muslims v Christians and Jews. There are many many religions and gods throughout human history.

Just a selection:

Christianity - 34000 sects
Islam
Judaism
Hinduism
Jainism
Buddhism
Sikhism
Iranian religions
African folk
Chinese folk
Aborigional
Native American
Shinto
Scientology
Wicca
Pagan
Druidism

and of course

000s of ancient mythologies of Greece, Rome, Egypt, Scandanavia, Africa, etc, etc. Which were all valid religions of their time.

Just imagine an alien coming to planet earth for the first time. Islam is no different to any of these other faiths, when viewed from that bigger perspective.

I know if there had never been anyr eligion the human race would have most sickness cured and be traveling the stars in star ships by now...Religion has held back humans so much...Sad really.

What starships? What cures? Even with science at the helm the human condition persists. Man has traveled to the moon, he has a PC and an bluetooth stuck in his ear, but people still get sick and they still starve to death.

We lost 400 or mroe years of human advance do to religion holding back math and science and thought.... We should be 400 more years advanced if not for religion....Think about it.

must be frustrating to be an atheist in a Christian country.
You are so correct and ignored by Christian
President Obama.It's no different here in UK.

Christianity just provides toffs with eye-watering salaries for dressing-up, usually in silly head-wear, on Sundays. These people have never experienced life in reality. Probably nigh-on choked on a silver spoon.

You can thank God for the delay. Considering what has transpired thus far scientifically, 400 more years of science's amorality and dubious wisdom would have brought on climate change earlier. Think about it.

That's the problem with atheists, they can't distinquish the difference between fact and fiction.

Atheists employ evidentialist principles to argue that a belief in God is irrational, yet they are unwilling to apply those same principles to atheism. Science has not demonstrated that there is no rational justification for a belief in God. In fact just the opposite is true. One of the most established principles of scientific logic is the principle of causality....meaning something that has a beginning has a sufficient cause. Atheists, who are enarmored with words like rational, reasonable, logical and "scientific" in describing their beliefs, believe the greatest irrationality of all....that of the universe had no cause whatsoever! Atheists therefore cannot use science to justify their disbelief. They have no excusable reason to treat their atheism differently than they treat a belief in God.

An honest atheist who lacks a belief in God, will not claim to know there is no God.

A bigoted atheist thinks no one is justified in believing that God exists.

A cowardly atheist will remove posts that threaten his disbelief.

True. What this means is that then they are forced to believe all kinds of silly absurd things because of it.

And yet even the simplest cell is fantastically complex. Even the simplest self-reproducing organism contains encyclopedic quantities of complex, SPECIFIC information. Could science do better, could you? I seriously doubt it. To deny this obvious implication of Intelligent Design is to be deliberately obtuse.
<quoted text>
The knowledge that you are much more than a biological machine. The knowledge that the trials and tribulations, the joys and triumphs of your life's experiences with family and community have a reason for happening and will not simply evaporate upon your death....burn out like a shooting star.
When you feel profoundly grateful for being miraculously and unaccountably spared from certain death, who do you thank?

Naw, I assume ID isn't science because it has produced absolutely no scientifically testable or verifiable predictions about biology. NONE.

Well, that plus, I really don't think magic is an effective answer for anything and ID is founded on **poof** some invisible sky deity did it.

Oh, and I never said ID was a fallacy. A fallacy is a misleading or unsound argument.

ID isn't an "argument", it's just not science. Come up with some verifiable predictions that allow ID to be tested and clearly state the null hypothesis for these tests and then we can all consider ID on it's merits. Until you do that, you're just blowing smoke.

This is definately not going to happen. LMTO
Just look at the religious groups, they MULTIPLY, babies babies babies... how about the aethists? Asking cause I don't think they're banging out as many as the bible thumpers.
