I would discuss this issue if you can marshal well founded cogent arguments, which I will admit, otherwise you have no right to interpolate without a kin for polemics. It does not behove you to talk in the strain that you do. Islam has answers which stultifies all YOU reasoning and dumfounds YOU, so that YOU are left without a plank to answer the arguments except YOUR BRAGGING AND GETTING TOUCHY.

"Arab moon-god Allah then"

Did you read the comments about God before YOUR BRAGGING AND GETTING TOUCHY and YOUR "that was a presumption on my part"

Such a person in fact believes Him to exist in Parts. One who holds such a faith cannot form a true concept of God, he is IGNORANT and will always try to believe in some creation of his IMAGINATION as his god. No imagination can fathom the reality of His attributes and no mind can grasp the mode of His entity. He is such a One that division or splitting into parts of His entity cannot even be IMAGINE.

He has not permitted human mind to grasp the Essence of His Being yet He has not prevented them from realising His Presence. There is no difference between His Person and His Attributes, and His Attributes should not be differentiated or distinguished from His Person. Whoever accepts His Attributes to be other than His Person then actually forsakes the idea of Unity of God and believes in duality ( He and His Attributes). (Con't)

Excellent! Nice to talk to a Muslim for a change. You finally score a point, that was a presumption on my part - a natural one, I'm sure you agree, considering we are both using English.

You believe in the Arab moon-god Allah then. Plagiarised from the Jewish desert god Yahweh and modified by the cult of the fictional Jesus character, whom Emperor Constantine turned into a "real" person at the Council of Nicea in 325 CE. Excellent.

I hope you speak out against Islamist violence too.

There is no difference between His Person and His Attributes, and His Attributes should not be differentiated or distinguished from His Person. Intelligence, understanding and attainment cannot attain the depth of knowledge to study or scrutinise the Godhead. None can fully understand or explain His Being however hard he my try. There do not exist words in any language to specify or define His qualities, peculiarities, characteristics and singularities. (Con't)

"..and an allegorical god-man character.."

You are JUMPING the gun!

I am not a Christian, I am a Muslim and we don't believe in "Jewish desert god, and an allegorical god-man character? "

Human faculties of conception, perception and learning, and attributes of volition, intuition and apprehension cannot catch sight of His Person or fathom the extent of His Might and Glory. Reason and sagacity cannot visualise Him. His Attributes cannot be fixed, limited or defined. (Con't)

I make no claims that nature is the "cause" of creation, which is just another word for itself. This is the same sort of circular argument I pointed out to you before: presupposing something, then arguing based upon the presupposition.

I do NOT believe that "nature" has done anything with "ingenuity and plan". That is the assertion of theists, not atheists. You are arguing with yourself, not with me. That's called a straw man argument.

I do deny Yahweh, Thor, Zeus etc exist, yes.
seathanaich (December 4, 2008 at 6:45 pm)
"As such it is obvious . . ." This is a circular logic fallacy. If it is obvious, then it should be easy to prove that to me.

"you people" is a dehumanising insult. It suggests you are not conversing with me, but an amorphous "it".

If your god is just nature, then call it nature. You are a deist or pantheist, not a Christian. That's cool. We can both agree on that term, and what it is. Why cling to an outdated Jewish desert god, and an allegorical god-man character?
1tabligh (December 4, 2008 at 6:31 pm)
As such it is obvious that the action emanates from an Omniscient Creator, Who has laid down as only a method among His creation through his Omniscience, which you people call "NATURE" . In other words, Almighty God has ordained a method to produce everything according to its definite cause and principle.
