Islam, a monotheistic religion, is the Absolute Truth. Islam means submission to God (Allah). People who follow Islam are Muslims. There are around 1.5 billions Muslims all over the world. Majority of Muslims are non-Arabs.
Islamic Belief:
• There is only one God (Allah), the Creator of everything that exists in this universe, including all beings. God does not have any shape or form.
• God (Allah) does not have any son, daughter, family member or partner. He is only one and unique. And there is none comparable to Him.
• God (Allah) accepts only direct prayer/worship to Him without any mediator.
• God (Allah) forgives all kinds of sins if a person repents to Him directly.
• God (Allah) sent messengers and prophets with His Message (divine Books) to guide all of mankind.
• Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad are some of the messengers/prophets of Allah (peace be upon all of them).
• All human are born equally and sinless. They all belong to God (Allah). They are created for worshiping God (Allah).
• On the Day of Judgment, God (Allah) will resurrect and judge all of the mankind based on their beliefs and actions. Then, He will reward the righteous people with Heaven, and punish the wrong doers with Hell.

Religion is unnatural, in nature life changes, evolves. The universe is not static, it's moving, expanding. That's why science is the way forward, it embraces new ideas, encourages thought and crucially is willing to change and adapt when a better explanation is found. Contrast this with religion, static, stale, uncompromising, religion founded on books written by people who believed the world was flat, books based on previous myths passed down through the ages, books that have been edited down the years to suit the power of the day. How the different religions brainwash their children from the cradle up, instilling fear, intolerance,blind faith. I'm not an atheist, I believe their could be a creator, not a god, a creator. One way or the other we were given brains, it seems a SIN not to use them.
Speaking as a fellow atheist I would have to argue that theism IS "natural" for humans, since they have a particular cognitive urge concerned with prediction and control. The fabricated deity functions as the "ultimate controller", which kicks in when humans reach their limits. Religion is the extension of aspects of this fabrication as an "authority" for social control and the rationalization of tribal instincts.
True, but if we get it wrong in the heat of the moment, we deal with it, we accept our fallibilities and carry on. We don't need a god to forgive us. The important thing being we acknowledge it when we get it wrong, something religions don't seem able or prepared to do.
Nothing....except that it can lead to a rather disagreeable Nazi style scenario of "might is right". To avoid this we are obliged to consider genetic (Dawkins) or rational (Kant) arguments about "ethics" rather than fabricate a deity as the author of the rule book.
HE loves you and he needs money, all powerful, all knowing but he just cant handle money. Priceless, excellent. I'll have to see more of this guy. nice one!
