Is there evidence that this story is true?
Quran is a story book, similar to the millions of
novels today, written by man!

This is strong evidence that man, like all
creatures on earth, is the result of evolution.

Why should the Quran, an ancient story, be taken as
the truth over scientific evidence?

The earth is FLAT according to the Quran.
Would God make such enormous basic error?
This is proof that the Quran is written by
man.

God did not ask women to wear hijab:
the stupid authors of Quran used the name ofGod
to enslave Muslim women.

You are threading on dangerous waters here. I beg to differ but the Holy
Quran is 'not a story book'. The Quran is a miracle (or mukjizat in Malay).
Every aspect of everyday life, from how to conduct yourself, your business,
your family and everything is spelled out in it. One is not a Muslim simply
by praying five times a day but ignore the Quran and al-Sunnah. If there is
any holy scriptures which have been manipulated by men, it is the
Bible...not the Quran. Get your bloody facts right before making any
accussation. Hopefully you are not a Muslim. But if you are, I hope you
repent before its too late.

"... My answer to him was, "... when people thought the Earth was
flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical
they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical
is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is
wronger than both of them put together."

You're either very naive or have led a very sheltered life. If you'd bothered
to do a little research you'd find that almost every major religion that has
come, gone or stayed has experienced some form of missinterpretation or
manipulation; Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hindoism etc, etc not
withstanding.

Just take a look at the thousands of cults, sects, denominations and clans out
there. Every one is a result of man's (and woman's) inability to fully obey
their God without allowing their own emotions and ideals to interfer with what
they are really required to do.

Show me proof that the Quran is more than a
fiction,... not mere fairy tales written by man!
Show me that I am wrong.

Every religion under the sun made the same "miracle"
claim.
In order to impress the illiterate masses, they claimed
miracles:
"He has special channelled to God.....He talked
to God, God appeared to him, God instructed him to tell
the people. God wanted you to do this and to do that...
.... If you refused, you will be burned in hell " were the
usual tactics.
It was the same trick they used to fool the people, the
peasants. This ruse was used for mind control and for
enslaving the people.
They did not know Communism, or modern mind-control
techniques. They used miracle, "special relationship
with God" to control the masses in the dark ages.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, there still are many
mindless people who faithfully continue to worship the
God created by man.

Anyone with a rigorously trained mind would be able
see the flaws of the "miracle" claim.

A simple challenge to the validity of the "miracles",
will bring down whole house of cards.

If David Copperfield had live in those dark ages
of long ago, he would be worshiped as a God.

> ,..... it is the Bible...not the Quran. Get your bloody facts right
>before making any accussation.

For a Muslim, I am ashamed that your knowledge of the
Quran is almost Zero.....very limited!

Christians, Jews, and Muslims pray to the SAME
almighty God. By calling the almighty, Allah, or God
does not make him a different God.
The three religion pray to the God of Adam and
Eve, pray to the God of Moses, pray to the God
of Abraham.....ie the SAME God.
The authors of the Quran, the Torah and the Bible
created three different religions, worshipping the
same God, each claiming that their is the true God
and therefore a better religion.
Just like you, you claim that Allah is truer than
the God of Adam and Eve, and Islam is a better
religion than Christian.

This is one of the strongest proof that the holy
books were written by men. If it was from God,
he would NOT have perpetuated such stupid
flaws.

Read the Quran with an open mind, treat all
the miracle claims as mind-control tactics, you will
see the light.

However, I bet you, you will take up the challenge.
You cannot do it, you are frighten to do it, your mind
will freeze, you have been brained washed.....

You have lost " the brain and the free will" God has given to
all of us. You are really lost.....

When the time come, just before you die,
you will realised that you lived a lie all your life.
What a waste!

This all sound extremely fanciful....but
is USELESS when you do not present
your thoughts in a clear and sequential manner.

You have not even define what the parameters
of this "God".
Does this God exist?
Are you arguing on a hypothetical basis?
Or is this your belief?

You do not argue your case and "win" by presenting
convioluted but meaningless sentences...that cannot be analysed
from some reference point that is well known by others and
accepted.

You said things like:
> If something is not of God, then God did not create that thing

Even this sentence already is meaningless as
the conclusion that you want others to accept here
has not been thoroughly debated by you to establish
its correctness.

Why must something that is created by God...be
"of God"?
Is this a fact known and established beyond doubt?
Must everything that God created...essentially be
"part of God"?
How do you know?
Have you seen God to determine that the statement
is true?
Whilst you question other people's beliefs and scoffs
at unfounded "facts" being heralded by others....yet you
yourself resort to arguing on the same STYLE...
Your argument has about the same merit as the ones
that you are trying to refute....LOL

Please lar...
Complex ideas start with a SINGLE statement
of fact that can be built upon.
No need to overwhelm your opposers with MANY
arguments if you have the TRUTH within your grasp.
One sentence can make your case IF you are confident
ofi its correctness.
Is it an accident that the words of wise sages are SHORT
and to the point and yet able to impart comlex philosophy
with those words?
So in comparison...your need to use convoluted statements
which can hardly be deciphered as it appeasr to be a mish mash of
"assumptions that you try to present as fact" and other what nots...
shows that IMO..shows that.you are really not sure of what you're
talking about either....LOL


Start with simple things thats easily understood
and argued....like establishing what a"miracle"
means to YOU and how you want to argue it.
How did you come up with the definition of
this "miracle"?
(Did you make it up?...LOL)
Is it a widely accepted definition that we can
successfully say that after this debate...many
people would easily be able to accept the outcome?

Hehe...but of course I assuming that you do understand
what we mean by "debate".....LOL

Hehe.....this has nothing to do with any theist claim.
Its about how you argue and how you justify

Total nonsense.
Arguments like this:


>> If something is not of God, then God did not create that thing

Is just as bad as what you are trying to oppose...LOL
They are all based on illogic reasoning which you now
claim as logic....LOL

Show us the proof of the above statement...

What I am asking is about your OWN claims
and arguments about how such a God must be.

Haha...what contradictions....?
Your argument for these contradictions are the ones
I'm questioning about.
Arguments like:


>>If something is not of God, then God did not create that thing, if God

How do you know that od cannot create something different
from Him?

Your claims are just as absurd if not MORE absurd
that those that you are trying to refute....LOL

Haha...prove it lar.
Why is it this God cannot create something that
is not "part" of Him?
Something totally new.
How do you know that God and the Universe
are not separate?
How do you know that this is not possible?....LOL

Illogic,actually....LOL

But you are supposed to justify your line
of reasoning.Like:


>>If something is not of God, then God did not create that thing, if God
> did
> >> not create all things, then the thing that God did not create, is
> >different

Which implied that the created and the Creator
must essentially be the same...I'm presuming you
are implying sameness in matter,composition,time,
and space...etc....
How do you know it cannot be otherwise?...

Not necessarily.
That you have shown your argument to be totally
incoherent further strenghtens their case....
That you cannot refute their claims logically....hence
their case has more chance of being correct.
Because it appears that that those that oppose them
are morons like yourself who cannot understand them
becuase of your flawed reasoning....LOL

I'm taliking about your refutation of the theists claim

Not about YOUR own beliefs about how things are.
How do you know these "miracles" did not happen?

Thats because they have a different definition of
what a "miracle" is ..MORON.
Do the theist call the creation of the Nuclear bombs a "miracle"?
So what the heck are you babbling about?
I'm questioning your rationale for debunking the theists
beliefs in miracles...I don't care what you believe in...but
when you say others are at fault...then you are obliged to
prove your assertions.

This is YOU BELIEF,idiot.
Something that I'm not interested to debate.
Unless you now claim that this type of statements

Something only POLITICIANs and other

This is about proving what you assert.

idiot.

Haha.....forget about the theists...
Now you are apparently avoiding the questions and

that they're based on your beliefs and "metaphors" which
has no relevancy in what is attemtped to be discussed.

And of course you then AVOID answering the questions

in real life.You apparently refuse to asnswer or cannot
provide one.
Thereby you use the SAME technique those mullahs
used by asking others to embrace your assertions without
any proofs and "live with it"...in whcih case any further
questions will be brushed off as the others cannot or
fail to understand you.....LOL

What a FRAUD.

> For facts
> are never a matter of beliefs, instead it is always of empirical evidence.

Haha...of which you have provided NONE
to support your statements...
Please show us scietific papers that proves
your statement like:


>>If something is not of God, then God did not create that thing, if God
> did
> >> not create all things, then the thing that God did not create, is
> >different

> >Or are you satisfied to live in a cave?....LOL
> >
>
> As long as we are with reality, we are satisfied everywhere. What used for
> the fantacy of heaven, if it is not of reality that last?

Hehe...you sound just like the mullahs....with
their claims to KNOW everything and provide
NOTHING.....LOL

If someone has the best organisation and the best followers (in an
overall sense), then someone should individually and en masse be
expected to excel in all normal human endeavours visibly as those
in the secular plane as well. To be less than so poses an
contadiction to such an assumption.

Put it simply in street language, it goes like, "If you are so good,
why aren't you more successful?"

I was refering to those who claimed to have the best organisation
and therefore within that organisation they should expectedly have
"the best" accomplishments including those at the material level. At
least something to show for as being the best. But contrary to
this logical expectation, , most of the time we find only the hubris
that is found in numbers.

A right state of mind is individually attained, not delivered en
masse despite the size and layout of any organisation. But lame
people can only see the power of numbers and thereby further
distancing themselves from the responsibility to think effectively.
The quality of understanding in a crowd is invariably reduced to its
lowest common denominator.

Haha...wahhh...what a loooong sentence.
You don't seem to be able to present
your ideas in a simple and yet understandable format.
Why is that?
Is is because if you do,it really shows how little
substance your argument holds....

Can you explain what you mean with the above sentence?
Or is the sentence meant to be undecipherable for obvious
reason?

> The same apply to human organisation, like all sentient beings prior to
> awakening are motivated by the three poison of greed, hatred and
ignorance,

Are you stating this as a FACT?...LOL

This is restating the OBVIOUS but using superfluos
language....
Is this your style when you communicate with the
lay people so as to fool them?

Unproven theory at best.
Or an observation.
Which you dishineslty try to present as fact.

Stating the obvious yet again.
Superfluos yet again.

I believe you can go on preaching till kingdom
come with nothing much actually spoken by you
except meaningless sentences that has no practical
relevance.
