WELCOME TO CRITICAL THINKING
Debunking false dogmas.

The terror of constant brainwashing indeed spells hopelessness for billions.
A static intellect is when predetermination takes the place of honest inquiry and truth is suppressed. The culprit is misguided religion which leads to fanaticism, barbarism and superstition. This form of credulity is the catalyst of existing adverse and prejudicial conditions that have plagued mankind for nearly 5,000 years.

"When the time of destruction is at hand the intellect becomes perverted." Vridha Chan. 16:17.

Can a fool, fool God? - Feb 08, 2002
What Baseball-club owner would pay his worst ball-player the same money as his best? Since he is the owner he can do anything and even through compassion make such a reward. But let's measure the disadvantages of such a measure, his club would go bankrupt because his worst players would never strive to be better while his best players would do less since it makes no sense to be the best. Baseball will become non-competitive and the millions who would be deprived of its entertainment will no longer support it, not to mention the thousands that will be affected by employment. If there were such an owner who lacks such business sense, he would be called a fool, won't he?

 A fool has no value for time or knowledge and so he remains a fool all his life. It certainly requires no effort to be a fool and in the end he/she repents for being a fool and gains salvation. On the other hand, a wise man values his time and works diligently and strenuously daily all his life, in his efforts through austerity and abstinence to attain higher wisdom also gains salvation.

Now I ask what would we call the 'All-powerful' God of the Torah, Bible, Qur'an, Puranas, Zend Avesta, Guru Grantha, and all that other false dogmas that can do anything, who gives the same reward of heaven to both a fool and a wise man? To an intelligent soul, he is not only mortal like the Ball-club owner but even more foolish. In reality, a fool who follows a false dogma is only fooling him/herself. 
                                                                 
                         Redemption can only be a fool's passport to a fool's paradise.

"Muslims are the first victims of Islam. ...To liberate the Muslim from his religion is the best service that one can render him." - Ernest Renan (1823-1892) French philosopher

Ahmed Hasan Yusuf Tazim Muhammad
You know this is western propaganda.

Dennis
Your culture teaches you to believe it's Western propaganda, and that you must be against the West.
But it is UNIVERSAL reason, not propaganda.
No one should believe ancient stories about magic invisible fathers. It's the 21st Century!

Ahmed Hasan Yusuf Tazim Muhammad
You know, your still being lied to through propaganda. Read a Quran. It will be for your benefit.

Dennis
Why should I read a silly book people wrote about a magical invisible being?
I don't need people to lie to me. You do
You believe an ancient myth.

Ahmed Hasan Yusuf Tazim Muhammad
Allah gave you a Quran. You should read it. It will be to your benefit.

Vijai Singh
If it is of benefit to all human beings, why didn't Allah give the Quran to the millions before 1400 years ago?

Ahmed Hasan Yusuf Tazim Muhammad
Allah gave the Quran to everyone. Allah sent thousands of prophets...
Quran is last revelation in the chain of revelations

Vijai Singh
If the others before the last one weren't good enough for mankind, what makes you think last one can do the job?
Why would I want to trust a God who isn't perfect?

Dennis
Why would ANYONE think there was a "god," or that anything could be "perfect"?
I trust many people. I don't require perfection from them. What an absurd idea!

Vijai Singh
A new car is perfect, if you don't think it is, you're an idiot.
I trust only the wise. It will be absurd to the ignorant as they don't know what is wisdom.

Dennis
A new car is perfect?
Oh. Well then.
There must be a perfect invisible magical being.
What was I thinking?! Smiling face with sunglasses

Vijai Singh
If don't think it is, why not go to a scrap yard and pick one up and for the same price?
All perfect! That's what omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient mean.
Can't be you're an idiot, only the wise know who they are.
