Scripture a day (Islam Edition)

[David88vert]

Also, let me try to put this in perspective.

I do not believe in God, any god, from any religion. I view all religions as man made with some designed purpose. Whatever that purpose may be, good or bad, i cant help but start my thought process with the idea that every religion is based on deception. So i have a natural skepticism for everything religious. I view any text of anyone claiming to be a higher power as a lie. Based on that simple truth that every religion starts with deception, my investigation of them is always skeptical.

I dwell more in the realistic function and purpose of religion rather than the spiritual one. When i read the Koran, i question why normal men create a higher power to build authority over a mass of people. Why cant these works just be guidance? why did they ever begin seeking ruling authority? So from that perspective, religion in general is inherently evil. I am not singling out Islam, Islam is just my highest concern regarding religions.

Your opinion - and as long as it works for you, then that's all that matters to you. Others will not have the same opinion, and what they believe works for them.

Here's a question for you though - what makes you think that atheism doesn't start with a deception as well? Perhaps you might consider yourself an agnostic, rather than an atheist.

I havnt really chosen a title for myself. It's not that important to me, atheist is what i assume most would call me. I dont feel a need to be labeled or belong to a group, my acceptance of that title is to appease others who value such labels.
