You simply 'affirm' that you will be truthful. No book needed, or swearing. There are even some Christian groups who refuse to swear on the Bible.

The Quran is not only unique in the way in which it presents its subject matter, but it is also unique in that it is a miracle itself. By the term “miracle,” we mean the performance of a supernatural or extraordinary event which cannot be duplicated by humans. It has been documented that Prophet Muhammad (S), challenged the Arabs to produce a literary work of a similar caliber as the Quran, but they were unable to do so in spite of their well-known eloquence and literary powers. The challenge to reproduce the Quran was presented to the Arabs and mankind in three stages:

I have read hundreds of books including the Quran and I can tell you from personal experience that there are many books better than the Quran.

Hehehe, these arguments aren't going to work on an atheist. The miracles are easily debunked and the science is so general (and wrong in some cases) that few scientists would take it seriously.

A little part of the Farewell Sermon was left out:

It was narrated that:
Sulaiman bin Amr bin Ahwas said: “My father told me that he was present at the Farewell Pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah. He praised and glorified Allah, and reminded and exhorted (the people). Then he [Muhammad] said: 'I enjoin good treatment of women, for they are prisoners with you, and you have no right to treat them otherwise, unless they commit clear indecency. If they do that, then forsake them in their beds and hit them, but without causing injury or leaving a mark. If they obey you, then do not seek means of annoyance against them. You have rights over your women and your women have rights over you. Your rights over your women are that they are not to allow anyone whom you dislike to tread on your bedding (furniture), nor allow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses. And their right over you are that you should treat them kindly with regard to their clothing and food.'

They are underestimating the power of the internet to cause people to leave religion entirely.

It is my firm conviction that everything has a natural explanation. If someone says that they saw juju working, then I presume that they were tricked by some clever charlatan. I have never seen anything supernatural, and there are people in the west who have rewards waiting for someone who can really do juju/magic. But no one is ever able to claim the reward.

May God have mercy on you

I'm atheist. There is no god.

Unmarried people need to be allowed to masturbate to porn to prevent fornication.

This one doesn't know if his own existence has any meaning or value, yet he is asking of someone else's. Mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I give my own life purpose. That is all that matters.

I am all for the Quran and Bible to be heavily edited and revised or just thrown out!!

During the worst and most difficult times of times for the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, at the battle of the trench, while there were armies surrounding Madeenah, the Jews plotted to kill the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his companions from within Madeenah. The companions, may Allah be pleased with them, were having a terrible experience during this battle, yet the Jews of Banu Quraydhah (who were one of the Jewish tribes of Madeenah), at this most critical of times, broke the pledge of non-aggression and mutual defence which they given to the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. The Jews intimidated the Muslims, which added to their sense of fear and danger of being in Madeenah. Their families were at great risk and had it not been for the mercy of Allah, the Jews of Bani Quraytha would have started another front in the war against the Muslims from within, just when the Muslims were at their most vulnerable. TBC

But if Allah was on Muhammad's side then he had nothing to worry about since Allah was going to give the Muslims victory no matter what. And so Muhammad could just let them go. Unless Allah was not on Muhammad's side or Allah does not really exist.

Really the Muslims should have no reason to fight anyone over anything, since Allah will ultimately protect the Muslims.

Oil is only 50$ a barrel. And the rich countries are slowly finding ways to not use oil. Maybe oil will soon be $30 a barrel, and no one will get rich pumping it.

If they "had faith" in atheism then they were not typical atheists.

wiseoneking:
Most hopeless chap i ever read in recent times. You write up in any way does stops you from hell or heaven after you die. You may have a little time to deceive yourselves and your uninformed "LIKES" thay clicked for you, but know immediately you drop dead, you will understand better with bitter eternal regrets. JESUS IS REAL, I DONT MEAN CHRISTIAN RELIGION BUT REAL CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. God bless

It's funny that you use the term 'real' Christian relationship with Jesus. Isn't every Christian's relationship with Jesus 'real' according to them? Who gets to decide whose relationship with Jesus is 'real'?

So, if the one baby does not believe that Mom exists, does she then put the baby in a fire when he is born as a kind of punishment? Isn't that what the Christian and Muslim gods do?

I believe we go back to the state we were in before we were born. Heaven and Hell are just myths created to control people.

"even if We had sent down to you, [O Muhammad], a written scripture on a page and
they touched it with their hands, the disbelievers would say, "This is not but obvious
magic."(Qur'an 6:

Sounds like the author of the Quran said that just to avoid having to produce such a page.

I assure you that, as an atheist, I could have been convinced if someone showed me a Quran written in indestructible material that had no known earthly origin. But looks like that isn't going to happen.

If you actually believe this, then you need psychiatric care.

Sin is an imaginary disease designed to sell you an imaginary cure (religion). There is no god watching you. If you and she want to do it together, then go do it.

Don't bother praying. I haven't prayed in years (am atheist) and my life is good. But only because I planned well and do my job well.

I have complete faith that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow morning. Don't ask for evidence; faith has no need for such. I just know it will occur.

I read in a book a long time ago that this cup would be blue. The book must be true because a lot of other people said so. I have no choice but to agree. How could so many other people be wrong?

The cup is blue beyond any doubt.

oglalasioux:
The Prophet really travelled to heaven via Jerusalem. The bible substantiates this through the ascension of Elijah. Science can also help us understand this feat of the ancients. They shaped their flying machines like animals just as Isaiah described the one he witnessed. We should not see the people of old as backward. We are only beginning to rediscover their great achievements in controlling and enhancing nature.

This only shows that ancient peoples had vivid imaginations and were good storytellers, which is true of all peoples from around the world. Are the stories from other ancient peoples about gods and superheroes also evidence of the truth of their polytheistic religions?

My brother they weren't known 1400 years ago

Hindus and Christians make similar claims for their holy books. Followers of Nostradamus claim that he predicted all kinds of world events. Again, nothing unusual. Word choice and selective interpretation allow you claim whatever you want.

And here is another, older thread with atheist memes for more laughs!

https://www.nairaland.com/2248326/atheist-memes

some communities are still stuck to their old ways and are constantly in conflict with modern worldviews and cosmology, especially Christianity.

Hahahaha! Christianity is a modern worldview? Complete with a talking snake and a woman created from a man's rib?? Hahahaha I had a good laugh this morning.

overcomersfaith:
Can you please tell me how you came into existence?

Study the theory of evolution.

Then tell me how your god came into existence.

All of those were either already known to earlier peoples, the result of selective interpretation, or are wrong.

The Quran does not contain anything useful to science.

You can't force yourself to believe or disbelieve. You either do or you don't. But keep reading arguments for and against and accept what you are.

I took cipro once and it cleared up my stomach so fast I thought it was a miracle.

And what if this god only allows atheists into heaven?

You also get to keep more of your money instead of funding your pastor's 4x4 or airplane.
