A guy writes, emphasis by yours truly
Almost all Christians believe that Jesus(pbuh) died for their sins and they wont be held accountable for their sins. In Islam Jesus(pbuh) is one of the prophets of God. Ever since the beginning of time, God sent prophets/messengers on this earth to guide mankind how to live. Adam, Noah, Moses , Jesus and Mohammed (peace be upon them all) were prophets of God. When God created Adam He taught him how to speak and the names of everything just like a mother would teach her one year old. Quran is a book of wisdom. It makes you understand the reason of the creation of the world and universe. The most wisest of men are not scientists or phd holders but those that read and understood the Quran.
And you ask yourself whether such people walk among us. As I told a good friend, men who wrote religious books, because, truth be told, they must have been men, were a blot to the human race.
I am not saying PhDs are wise, look at WLC, he is a PhD holder right? but the things that come out of his mouth are abhorrent to any thinking person. But to dismiss all PhDs and elevate only those who have a 1400yr old book to be wise is a lack of seriousness on the part of the author. One day men and women will ask themselves how they believed such nonsense for so long. I hope that day comes in my lifetime.
Random thoughts 
His comments are perhaps the strangest comments that I have ever received. Your reaction is the same reaction that I had. There is very little that we can teach people like him. They simply refuse to listen. But there is very much that we can learn from them – e.g. that people are prone to superstition, that people yearn for meaning, that people irrationally cling to ideologies that claim to know the Truth, etc.
By the way, great blog!

You have nailed it with that observation.
The point I try to make to such folk is that if the testable claims in such books (i.e. world wide flood) can be shown to be false, then it would be wise to doubt the untestable claims. But my strike rate with this argument seem to be nil so far.
What I have learnt is that belief is based on emotion not reason.

Now, THIS is my kinda comment! It completely trashes christianity with its basic premise, which is: Quran right, New Testament wrong. LOVE IT!!! Such comments show the utter idiocy of religious belief. In order for one book to be “right” all others must be wrong. Conclusion, all religious books are childish tripe that need to be discarded in favor of common sense and reason. $Amen$

This is the little detail ecumenical types like to ignore. They can’t figure why I’m an atheist and I can’t figure why they’re not agnostic. Go figure.

Right. I mean, there’s no way out of the argument: for this comment to be correct, all other faiths MUST be wrong, and visa versa. Discussing with such people why I’m an atheist is a nonsensical discussion. We must first determine which god or gods and which holy book or books are “true” first and why. So, let’s put the theists in a ring and let ’em battle it out. I’d pay to watch that. 🙂

It looks like some people just want to be stupid. It makes life simple and easy. You are not held accountable for your sins (Jesus pbuh is taking care of that), you don’t have to make much effort to become wise (reading one book is sufficient. You can remain lazy in your head. Pbuh who writes such nonsense. He will need that peace because in those areas where many think like that, there IS war.

I am happy you liked them. I am writing those only from time to time, when a topic presents itself for it. I don’t want to force it. Initially, I published them in higher frequency because I had written some of them earlyer and published them on an earlier blog. I am going to write some more but it might take time. Actually, I do not have as much time at the moment as I would like to have.

I’ve always wondered about the “praise be unto” or “peace be unto” nonsense. If these characters need prayed for, then the rest of us are SOL. And if they want to be prayed for, then they are sad little things that need worship and can’t exist with out it.

Funny looking at people arguing over such matters. Everybody has a little truth in what they say but all miss the mark. The problem is to pigeon-hole yourself into one line of thought generally requires the dismissal of relevant facts from others.
Someone commented on the flood for instance but would be well advised to cite another example. There are global accounts of such a deluge mostly from around 3000 BC but rather than being sent by God to punish man, it was sent by the melt-down from the ice age the planet was just coming out of.
Until religion and science can put their heads together the answer will remain elusive. Whether there is/was a God (aliens) or not nobody can prove nor disprove, but in circumspect defence of religion, there is so weird crap going on that science cannot explain.
