God,spontaneous Quantum Explosions, Justice, Faith, And Worship Through Proxies. by snubish: 3:35pm On Jan 19, 2013
The God complex.
Some people wonder why we say there’s a God that we worship. They say the universe started from a spontaneous quantum explosion. They call the force that orders everything “nature”. Well you call it nature, we say “God”. We say it was this same God that caused this quantum explosion that set up the whole universe thing.
Then they wonder why we are religious. We are religious because we are in awe of this Great Force that set up the whole thing. Then there’s the question of justice. Everyone is born with an innate sense of justice that even a mere child in kindergarten would feel bad seeing a classmate being beaten for a wrong committed by another child. So we are religious because we expect this Great Force to right all the injustices which will definitely continue to occur during our existence on this plane. Our law courts can only attempt, they would never give perfect justice. An analogy that comes to mind is that of a mass murderer that has killed several people. How many times do you kill him, or how many life sentences do you give him. Or have you considered those with severe inherited medical conditions through no fault of theirs, that they should have unjustly suffered in vain? No, never. Those that want a community of mankind without belief in God should get ready to live in a society without laws if they do not want to be hypocritical because the legal codes in operation throughout most of the world today are based on one religious code of conduct or the other. They should brace themselves for everyman to live by their conscience alone; then they would see some real life psychopathic drama. So we believe in God and we believe every man would have justice. This is a fixed matter like night and day. And we will not even talk about magic or spirits which these silly atheists deny.

Monotheism and the concept of worship through proxies.
We start here by considering an idol worshiper. A simple example being a man that has a small statue in some place that he places some sacrifice before, and then makes requests from. Usually believing without any concrete basis that this statue would answer him or act has an intermediary between himself and some higher power. Technically speaking, this man has hurt no one and has done no wrong; he may even be a better neighbour, co-worker, business partner or a generally better human than many people in mainstream religion. However closer observation of the universe would reveal that only a single force could be responsible for the interrelated plethora of natural phenomena. Several forces in control would vie for superiority amongst themselves. Lesser forces would also struggle amongst themselves and even attempt to become the supreme force. As such from a religious perspective, any form of devotion to these lesser forces is fallacious sacrilege. Hence we can conclude that monotheism is the most logical and practical form of worship. Today we see many people, even within mainstream religion guilty of this practice. They worship or pray to angels, prophets, saints, spirits etc. while they should have been worshipping the Supreme being directly. Indeed, that would have been better for them.

Faith.
It can be observed that some individuals in this present age have started to describe religious “faith” as “a form of belief without evidence”. Obviously, this is a grand delusion. Were this to hold true, then we will gladly declare that Islam is not a “faith” at all, as there is material untainted evidence for this religion. Islam is based on the infallible Quran about which there is no doubt. This is the evidence/witness for Islam; other beliefs subsequently evolve from this book. Everyone should read the Quran and acquaint themselves with its wonders. But to not read or want to read it at all would make one be like an illiterate who refuses to educate himself believing that his ignorant illiteracy is sufficient for him.

Quite easily understood, innit?

No one knows what caused the big bang. Scientists trace the expansion of the universe backwards to a time they couldnt go further.

Now, without a knowledge of science you come here and claim God created the universe and caused the big bang without any evidence. You are hooking God on a knowledge gap in science. This is called "god of the gaps" fallacy. An argument from ignorance.

You destroy your own intelligent desugn argument.

-If we look at a builidng, we dont assume it was formed by chance but instead, someone built it.
-If we look at humans, who are designed with DNA etc, we assume a designer or creator as well.


However, A building is not created by one person.
-You need the miners to bring out construction raw materials eg the limestone for the cement or the raw ore for the metals
-You need a processing company to turn raw materials into cement and steel/metals
-You need bricklayers, architects and plumbers.


Why would it then be safe to assume that one creator, created humans when most things that are mass produced are manufactured by many people?

What if these gods were equal in power but different in skill and worked together in harmony to create a biological project called humans?

The contradiction here is that you just used faith (without evidence) to claim that the quran is infallible.


Really? The same Quran that tells men to beat their wives? Or that tell us the polytheists are gonna burn in hell with no mercy?
