Welcome to Gaia! ::

Found this interesting Islamic video about how to talk to atheists. I thought he was a pretty goof speaker, but his comments about atheism being unnatural and atheists having "darkened" minds really ticked me off. And their was one argument that he didn't mention. How come he believes in "allah" and not any other god? The only answer he can give is that the Koran says allah is the only god. Which isn't a good answer if your trying to sound smart.

last I checked marriage is a socially learnt not known from birth, and the idea of god is a nature thing but not to a higher being but for people to use as a crutch so they can relieve some aspects of their life others just built off this. And those people who had religious experiences after their brain was shocked their visions was related to their own religion. I think that guy is a religiously biased douche.

It's hilarious that I actually found someone to use those two words in the same sentence without disproving the connection.



Bah. Just because we're the minority doesn't make us unnatural. It just makes us different.

He completely contradicted himself when he got into the Greek philosophers. He said that they were wrong about the bowling ball and marble (which, technically, isn't what they were wrong about as there was no bowling ball back then), but that they concluded that there was a god. If they were wrong about the first thing, then the implication is...?

Majority does not prove something. Just because most people believe in god doesn't mean that he exists. How is marriage natural? We aren't born with the tendency to "marry." Unless he's using that to subtly mean mating--which we are born with.

His argument about belief in god is non sequitor. He doesn't explain how precisely god fits in with the other things listed there--which, by the way, are nearly all physiological. We eat, mate, breathe, and use the restroom for our physical bodies, not because of our minds. God is not a physical necessity; he's a mental one.

Wow. What an idiot.

Barely two minutes has passed and already he shows his utter stupidity. "We can't find Atheistic people in history" "Atheism came around during the 20th century with Communism"

How does he explain the Huns then?

Oh yeah, I forgot. Fundamentalists don't like to use logic.

I have a question, civilizations make gods to explain the unexplainable to them like why it floods, how life was to be. If a civilization was always able to explain everything and made ways to get around problems would they ever need to make up a god, the circumstances would be hard to name but you get the drift.
