Dhussa, First, I really don't care what muslims think, or what their practice deems. I am not muslim and I hardly sweat over what misconceptions they may be harbouring. Second, I am simply giving you an analysis as to why Islam is more reliable monotheist faith compared to Christianity, all in theory of course! if one had to make a choice as a free thinker, i am not referring to which one will allow me a drink or social freedom, i am talking about philosophically. My question is where does the unbeliever denounce islam at the theoretical or as practiced in mainstream? I think all religion must be dissected theoretically first, because mainstream practice is always subject to change and completely dependent on the illogical reasoning of the practioner. Islam claims authencity of its book, so we will judge them for its merit, and not so what very sheikh abdullaahi and sister Xawo is doing in practice. Thus, in my opinion this allah is more involved, and direct in addressing of his audience, whereas in the Bible GOd is narrated by Jesus. So for the sake of analysis, the Quran is a far superior work compared to the Bible, yes the nomad mohammed and scribblers in my opinion did greater work than John and matthew's collection of work. Anyone exposed to a copy of the bible in translation will tell you it is not as well written as the quran, the Tone of the quran is direct, and this speaker always knows his audience. I will give credit where it is due.
I personally denouced islam at the theoretical level of the Quran. Allah is one angry, merciless, and revengeful God, you see that just by reading through the pages of the quran. His whole purpose of creation is self-defeating, He is needy and dying for worship, but not for honest worship, but a sick and sadistic form of worship. He is taunting and cruel, If he wanted he can save all mankind, but he almost says..why spoil the fun. Thus, if the God of islam is incoherent, than so dies islam with him, and practice and behaviour of muslims is no concern to me.
YOu see atheists have a way of assuming that if the described God is not perfect than he cannot exist! But is it not possible for a terrible God to exist? one who is a bad caretaker. Well there you go, atheists like theists measure God by activity and some notion that he is suppose to be a good/loving creator. Thus, if God is contradicting and not good/loving = NO God. But how irrational that is for people of thought?
But the reality of our present uncertainity regarding God also points out that a God may exist indeed, and he may be just that a cruel and horrible one. There is nothing that promised us a kind /loving God except what hopes we have concieved and fabricated in religious allegory.
