We take the side of science in spite of the
patent absurdity of some of its constructs. . .
.because we have a prior commitment to
materialism. . . .Moreover, that materialism is
absolute, for we cannot allow a divine foot in
the door. Richard Lewontin, New York Review
of Books Atheist population biologist

It isnt just that I dont believe in God. . .
.Its that I hope there is no God! I dont want
there to be a God I dont want the universe to
be like that. Thomas Nagel, The Last
Word Atheist Philosophy Professor

UNBELIEF SWALLOWING UP A BIT OF THE WORD OF GOD

situation

• For God The Allah of the Quran, who is great
  ( unknowable) and merciful ( unpredictable),
  Creator of the Universe, Master of His slaves.
• so loved the world The Muslim has no concept
  of Gods agape love for sinners. Allah only loves
  those who submit to Him and the Prophet.
• that He gave His only begotten Son, Muslim
  response May Allah forgive you for this
  blasphemy! Allah does not beget! Nor would He
  become man! Why should Allah do such a thing? Man
  is basically good, though weak, needing guidance,
  not redemption. Jesus pbuh was not crucified.
  Allah would never allow a great prophet like
  Jesus pbuh to endure such a shameful death!
• that whoever believes in Him, Most common
  reaction We believe in Jesus and all the
  prophets! Why dont you believe the final
  Prophet? Or as a highly acclaimed Muslim PhD
  commented on this part of John 316 What
  happens to the people who were born and died
  before God decided to concoct this charade only
  2000 years ago? It seems that the Christian God
  is a poor planner and a late thinker because it
  took him thousands if not millions of years to
  find a way of forgiving the sins of mankind.
• should not perish, What arrogance! No one can
  know their fate! Only God knows. On Judgment Day
  my good and bad will be weighed to determine if I
  have earned Allahs favor.
• but have eternal life. You mean Ill enter a
  garden of sensual delights, if I am worthy. Oh,
  you poor Bible-believers! Your Book is utterly
  corrupted. Only the glorious Quran is perfect
  and preserved. Revert to Islam!
