oh man, I cna't read all you guys copy pasted. Have to goto work tomrrow. But some things just want to point out:
- God in human-like shape is only a Christian concept IMO. Islam doesn't have a figure ANYWHERE of God(Allah). Budha isn't worshipped, but admired and followed to get to better "realisation", but he life style was never meant to be followed.
- Judiasm lead to Christianity lead to Islam (at least islamic point of view). Islam being final religion until D-day (because other religions have been changed - no original text / language avaialble)
But all three above religions are considered true religions in Islam.
:thumbup:
yeah, I actually have quite some respect for the muslim faith. I'd convert, if it wasn't so cliche. But I kinda like my 'relgion-fusion'
still, I like your reason.
- As someone point out earlier (vaguly), we are not smart enough to comprehend God, but that does not mean IT does't exist
yes
- There is a famous astronomy theory (i think called Universal theory...not proven yet), that if all forces are added of universe, it will become 0, which it was before big bang.
In other words, there was nothingness before big bang. You cannot have everything u observe if there hasn't been any intervention in this nothingness
eh, I beleive in multiple big bangs. Like the universe is an electric pulse, and life keeps happening over and over.
we just don't remember.....
- Your consiousness - that you can think if God existed or not - is proof by itself. Chemicals / biology mixing and creating new matter, changing shape, etc does not give this new matter ability to think. You can think, there must be more to it, than science.
yes. I think that "god created us in his image" referse to the conciousness. Read my posts, and you'll see my idea's of the "collective human consious" which I beleive is the 'true god' for lack of a better term.
- I consider myself good Muslim, yet the rules i follow in my life are MY JUDGEMENT / LOGIC (which sometime conflict with traditional islam). The truest and purest religion is common sense. Although guidance is acquired from Islamic principles.
yes.
I think any strict religion will set you on the right path, which is why I have respect for Islam and Judism. Being raised catholic, it set the tone of morals that I feel are nessisary to live a succesful, fully-lived life.
I think you've hit the nail on the head. Religion was set up to kinda give an idea. It's up to the individual to set the interpitation.
Anyway, enough of my biased views ;-)
I don't mean to argue anyone, just throwing my ideas. Thanx
good post :goodjob:
