God's Attributes = Conflicts

While you're surfing through the net, you might have come across some websites that preach the magnificence of God and how he forgives our sins. You would also hear them tell you to repent and accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior so your soul would be spared from eternal damnation. Then they would tell you about the attributes of God and his perfection. But is he really perfect as they would claim he is?

In this article i would like to take a closer look at God's attributes and as i go along i hope that you will come to realize the conflicts that arise of such claims of perfection, I have no doubt in my mind that without any much effort of explaining you'll be able to realize the conflict on your own.

First i would like to start with the conflict of God's knowledge of the future, his knowledge of what you and i think in our most inner thoughts, what we feel and how we will feel in the future, how we react and will react to certain events that are bound to happen in the future, and his knowledge of the consequences of our decisions and reactions. Now you might have read in the bible or the Quraan that God has given human kind the freedom of choice so he can test them to see if they are worthy of his good grace. the problem that arise from this attribute is; If God really does know in advance what are the choices you're going to make, and whether you're going to be a devout Christian or Muslim, wouldn't that knowledge by it self take away your freedom of choice? A Christian or a Muslim's answer would be "Yes But God has given you the ability to sin, so that you can repent and then God would reward you" but that doesn't really answer anything does it? because even if God did in fact give humans the ability to sin, he would already know in advance which of us will repent and which of us will still doubt his existence. so giving humans the ability of choice between good and evil doesn't really work very well with God's knowledge of the future.
A good example of this problem can be found in the story of Adam and Eve, the first two humans that God had created in his heaven. After God had created those two first humans he said to them, that they are allowed to eat from all the fruits of the trees of heaven but the fruit of this certain tree they are not allowed to eat of, because when they do there eyes will be opened and they will have knowledge of good and evil, but they disobeyed God any way and they ate the fruit of that forbidden tree, and the first thing they realized that they were naked so they covered their nakedness with fig leafs, after that God punished them and all of Humanity by kicking them out of his heaven to earth. What i constantly ask my self after i hear this story is:
"How could Adam and Eve have the ability to sin if they had no knowledge of evil till they ate the fruit of the forbidden tree?" The question is paradoxical and pauses as a problem for Christians and Muslims alike. The real question is:
"If God knew in advanced that Adam and eve would eat from the fruit of that tree and disobey him, then why did he put that tree there in the first place?"


The second Attribute is the Loving Christian and Muslim God, Any believer of the sky Gods would happily parade his loving and merciful God in front of you, little does he realize that there is nothing that comes close to love and mercy in his God.Even though God claims that he loves you, he is willing to bake you in his super large oven for all eternity if you doubt his existence. Unless you realize this while you're still alive and repent from all your doubts and sins and embrace Christianity or Islam before it's too late. But what if i repent while I'm burning in hell? then would God save my tortured soul? the answer obviously is "NO" even though God loves you when you're alive he wants you to worship him and do all his bidding while you're on earth, but he most certainly hates you and despises you while you choke and scream in terrifying pain and agony in his hell that he in the first place had prepared to those that he love so much. I guess you can see the conflict in this matter. How can a loving and gentle God put some one that he claims to love and wants to save in this kind of horrifying experience?

ما يجب على المسلمين أن يسألو أنفسهم


1- من صفات المعجزة هي الإعجاز الذي لا يستطيع أحد أن ينكره مهما كان لونه و جنسه و معتقده و أيضاً أن تذهل كل عقل بما يعجز ويتحدى أي تفسير منطقي أو عقلاني بطريقة محسوسة وملموسة. فإن كان من المستحيل إنكار معجزة بينة وواضحة كالقرآن فلماذا يختار بعض المسلمين أن يشككو بهذه المعجزة والسير على طريق الإلحاد. مع الأخد بعين الإعتبار إن بعض المسلمين الذين قررو أنا يسيروا على طريق العلمانية كانو متمكنين في الدين و ذو معرفة واسعة في تفسير القرآن.
2- أحد الصفات التي يتصف بها الله هو علمه بالغيب، و علمه بما يفكر البشر و بما سيفكر به البشر والقرارات التي سيتخدونها في الحاضر والمستقبل و أيضاً معرفة الغيب بعواقب هذا التفكير و القرارات المتخدة والذي سوف يتخدونها في المستقبل. فإذا كان الإنسان مخيراً و غير مسير في إتخاد قراراته فإذاً هذا يتناقض مع صفة معرفة الغيب عند الله. فكيف يكون الإنسان مخيراً إذا كان الله مدركاً تماماً ما سيختاره و ما ستكون تبعات هذا القرار و أيضاً كان مدركاً نهاية هذا القرار (الجنة أو النار) فهذا يعني أيضاً إن الله قد رسم لكل شخص طريق محددة يسير عليها تحت وهم الإختيار والله يعلم مسبقاً إن فلان مثواه جهنم وعلان سينعم بنعيم الجنة، و هذا يتناقض كلياً مع القدرات الإلهية. كما وإن صفة الرحمن الرحيم و شديد العقاب من كبرى التناقضات في صفات الله. فتقول إن الله رحيم بعباده وشديد العقاب بالكفار، ولكن ما حاجة عباد الله إلى الرحمة إذا كانوا موعودين بالجنة؟ أما الكفار الملاعين المساكين لا يحتاجون إلى الرحمة بل هم مخلدون في نار جهنم بدون أي رحمة أو عطف؟ فكيف يكون الله رحيماً إذا رضي بتخليد من هو لا حول له ولا قوة في نار لا يمكن لبشر تخيل مدى المعاناة التي سيعاني منها الكافر؟ فكون الله هو القادر على كل شيء وذو رحمة تفوق السماوات والأرض فإذاً عليه أن يرحم من هم أضعف منه فهو لا بد أن يكون مدركاً إن ليس كل الناس يصدقون كل ما يسمعونه ولو كان الأمر كذلك لما وجدت كافراً على الأرض. ولو كان سكان الأرض كلهم مسلمين مطيعين لله فكان الله أخدنا وإستبدلنا بقوم يكفرون ويخطئون لكي يتسنى له أن يعذب أمثالي.
3- يدعي الدين المسيحي و اليهودي والإسلامي بإن البشرية بدأت من آدم و حواء، مع إن الإكتشافات العلمية قد أثبتت عكس ذلك من خلال الهياكل العضمية المتحجرة الثي عثر عليها في جنوب أفريقيا و وسط أوروبا إذ كانت بداية الإدراك الذاثي عند بداية الإنسانية قبل أكتر من ما يقارب ٤ ملايين سنه عندما بدأت قدرة النطق عند البشر الأوائل من خلال التطور الطبيعي للجهة السفلى للجمجة وهو المكان عند بداية الحلق والذي مكن أوائل البشر من التحكم بالحبال الصوتية. مع الأخد بعين الإعتبار إن الإدراك الداتي للوجود والقدرة على التفكير كانت متطورة قبل ذلك ولكن القدرة على النطق هي التي مهدت الطريق لهؤلاء البشر البدائيين على التواصل والتفاهم مع بعضهم و مكنهم من إبتكار اللغات و بناء مجتمعات مترابطة. فأما بداية البشرية من مبدأ الإدراك الذاثي للوجود والقدرة البسيطة والمبدأية على التفكير فتعود من قبل أكتر من مليون سنة أما قبل ذلك كان البشر أقرب ما يكونون من القردة وصولاً إلى المرحلة التي كانو فيها فعلاً قردة فأما المرحلة ما بين القردة وبداية نشأة الحياه على الأرض ليست إلا مراحل تطور من أحماض أمينية إلي بكتيريا أحادية الخلية إلى خلايا حية إلى حيوانات مائية و بعد ذلك برمائية و برية تمتد إلى 300 مليون سنة. و ما قبل كل ذلك يفسر بالفيزياء من الإنفجار الأعظم والذي سيكتشف العلماء صحته و كينونته قريباً بفضل أكبر تجربة علمية في تاريخ البشرية (مسرع الجسيمات Particle Accelerator) ما هو المسبب لهذا الحدث العظيم والذي نشأ منه هذا الكون.
4- فكرة وجود الخالق هي فكرة قديمة تعود إلى بداية الإنسانية نفسها وليس لبداية الكون. فعندما بدأ الإدراك الداثي عند أوائل البشر بفضل التطور والإرتقاء الطبيعي كان أول الأسئلة التي يطرحونها على أنفسهم (من نحن؟ من أين أتينا؟ ولماذا نحن هنا؟ وما هو مصيرنا؟) وهذا السؤال الأزلي و الجهل الذي كان يطغى على تلك الأزمان كان يجعل هؤلاء البشر البدائيين يفترضون وجود كائنات ذاث قوى خارقة قادرة على إصلاح مستوى حياتهم مثل توفيقهم عند خروجهم للصيد أو معاقبتهم عندما يرجعون من الصيد خالي اليدين. ظروف الحياه الصعبة والمصادفات النادرة التي كانت تحدت في تلك الأيام تجعل هؤلاء البشر يتسائلون مثلاً إذا كانت الشمس هي التي توفقهم في الصيد و عندما تغيب الشمس تظهر الحيوانات الظارية والظلمة والذي بدوره كان يبث الخوف في قلوبهم خوفاً على حياتهم. مما جعلهم يتمنون طلوع الشمس و حمايتهم من المخاطر التي تأتي مع ظلمة الليل. فقرروا أن يقدموا جزاً من ما يصطادونه لهذه الشمس لكي لا تغيب عنهم وتبارك لهم صيدهم وإبتكرو أساليب لعبادة هذه الشمس وهم يحاولون عبثاً إرضاء هذا الشيء اللامع في السماء لكي لا يحرمهم من نوره. و مع مضي الأيام زاد إحترامهم للشمس لما يجلبه من فوائد عند طلوعه و ما يأتي بعد غيابه من مصائب. وكل من يجرؤ على عدم تقديم القرابين للشمس كان يتهم بالكفر و كان يقتل لكي لا تغضب منهم الشمس و تغيب عنهم إلى الأبد. و عندما شهدوا خسوف الشمس أصابهم هلعٌ أكبر حين ظنوا إن الشمس في إشتباك دامي مع قوى الظلام فأخدوا يصلون ويهللون لنصرة الشمس كما وتزال الكثير من الحضارات في يومنا هذا تقوم بالصلاه والتهليل للشمس حين خسوفها كالصينين الذين يعتقدون إن تنيناً قد إلتهم شمسهم فيقومون بالضرب على الطبول لكي يبتعد عنهم هذا التنين و يعيد لهم شمسهم. وفي الإسلام أيضاً فيعتقد المسلمون إن في حالة حدوث الخسوف فإن الله سيبقي الشمس في حالة خسوف في حال كان يرى إن البشر لا يستحقون ما يحضره هذا النجم من خيرات فيأخد المسلم بالصلاه مع الجماعة و الدعاء وقراءة القرآن وهم يتوسلون لربهم أن يرجع لهم الشمس فما وجه الإختلاف بين ما يفعله الصينيون والمسلمون ولماذا إله المسلمين هو الحق وليس إله الصينين بودا أو كريشنا إله الهنود أو داينايسيس إله الإغريق أو جوجو العظيم إله إحدى القبائل الأفريقية أو أبولو و باكلوس و سيريس و جونو و جوبيتر و فينوس و فيستا والمزيد المزيد من آلهة الروم الذين حققوا بفضله إنتصارات يشهد لها كتب التاريخ لإنجازات تلك الحضارة. لماذا المسلمون هم على حق وباقي شعوب العالم على ظلالة من أمرهم؟ مع إن الديانة البودية مثلاً تدعو إلى السلام من قبل الإسلام والنصرانية فلماذا لا نتبع الديانة البودية مع إنها أيضاً تنهى عن الزنى و شرب الخمر و إيذاء الغير والإمتناع عن الكذب والقتل و أكثر من ذلك؟
5- إن الديانات و نشأتها تكون ظرفية و مرتبطة في مكان جغرافي و زمن و أحذاث معينة مسببة لوجود هذا الذين فكما في السؤال السابق إعتمد نشأة إله الشمس على جهل الناس بحقيقة الشمس نفسها فلو عرفوا إن الشمس مجرد أفران نووية ليس لديها القدرة على التفكير أو القدرة على المكافئة أو العقاب فما كانو ليعبدو هذا النجم و كانو سيعبدون شيء أخر يجهلونه ذات معنى عظيم و ذو فائدة أعظم حتى يدركوا إنه مجرد عمل قامو به من وراء جهالة و عدم معرفة. فالديانات أيضاُ تخضع للتطور والإرتقاء الطبيعي. فقد بدأ بداية بسيطة جداً و مع مرور الزمن أصبح معقداً أكثر فأكثر و تفرعت من هذه الديانة ديانات أخرى و تعددت الآلهه حتى أصبح في زمننا هذا الآلاف من الديانات و أكتر من ستة بلايين من البشر ليختارو ما يناسبهم أو ليختار منها أولياء الأمور ما يناسب أطفالهم فينشؤونهم على إعتقادات معينة متناسبة مع المجتمع الذي يعيشون فيه. فالدين الإسلامي أيضاً لم يكن مولوداً من صدفة فهو أيضاً تطور و إرتقاء للديانة المسيحية و الديانة المسيحية نفسها هي تطور و إرتقاء لعبادات وثنية مرتبطة بحركة الأجرام السماوية و التحركات الشمسية والقمرية كما كان الدين المسيحي إقتباساً شبه حرفي لسيرة حياة الفرعون حورس كما إقتبس كماً كبيراً من سيرة حياة الإله كريشنا إله الهند آنذاك و ديانايسيس إله الإغريق. أما الصفات التي أقتبستها المسيحية من الأديان السابقة هي قصة مولد عيسى من مريم العذراء و قصة خيانته على يد أحد صحابته و تعديبه و صلبه و موته و رجوعه إلى الحياة حتى صعوده إلى السماء ليلاقي ربه إلى أن يرجع إلى الأرض مرة أخرى كما يعتقد الكثير من المسيحيين. والجدل الأكبر في تشابه قصص هؤلاء الآلهه يعود إلى الأحداث الزمنية المتطابقة عند كل هؤلاء الآلهة و هو تاريخ ولادة عيسى فيحكي الإنجيل إن عيسى ولد في اليوم الخامس والعشرين من ديسمبر و هو بداية التقويم الميلادي، النقطة المهمة في هذا التاريخ هو ما يرتبط به ما قبل ذلك فلكياً لأن في هذه الفترة تكون الشمس في أخفض نقطة من محور الأرض فلا ترتفع الشمس إلى كبد السماء في ذلك التاريخ أنما يكون ظاهراً في الأفق بالنسبة لسكان النصف الشمالي للكرة الأرضية. فكان القدماء يقولون في هذا التاريخ "إن الشمس ماتت و سوف ترجع للحياة و ستنتعش الأرض مرة أخرى" و هذه المقولة كانت نسبة لإعتدال محور الأرض خلال دورانه حول الشمس و مواجهة الشمس له في تلك الفترة يحين موعد الربيع والصيف و تظهر الشمس في كبد السماء مرة أخرى حيث تنمو المحاصيل مجدداً، فما علاقة هذا بمولد المسيح؟ و بالآلهة الأخرى الذين سبق ذكرهم؟ قصة مولد المسيح عيسى إبن مريم مطابقة تماماً للآلهة التي سبقته و التواريخ أيضاً مطابقة تماماً فهذا يعني إن الديانة المسيحية مقتبسة من أديان وثنية سابقة تعود من أيام عبادة و تمجيد الشمس. الأديان تتفرع و تتشعب كما تتكون اللغات من لغة واحدة تتحول إلى لهجات حسب إستخدام هذه اللغة في جغرافية معينة من الأرض و حسب الثقافات المختلفة و مع دوران الزمن تصبح هذه اللهجات مختلفة تماماً عن اللغة الأم حتى تصبح بدورها لغة مختلفة تماماً. فهذا ما حدث مع الدين حيت بدأ بعبادة الشمس و تطور بعد ذلك إلى أسلوب معيشة و تضحيات و
إخلاص حتى تكونت العبادات الوثنية التي تقدم الأضاحي والقرابين و العبادات اليومية والأدعية كما نرى في دين الإسلام و الأديان الأخرى و من ثم تطورت و تشعبت و تعقدت و أصبحت ديانات سماوية مع الحفاظ على بعض الصفات القديمة لها. ما هو أعظم من ذلك هو مع تواجد الكثير من المؤرخين في زمن عيسى و ما قبله من أنبياء قاموا بمعجزات عظيمة مثل شق البحر و العبور من خلاله و تحول العصى إلى أفعى سخط قوم لوط و سخط قوم عاد و ثمود مع إن هذه المعجزات العظيمة حدثث أمام العيان مع ذلك لم يأتي ذكرها في أي من كتب التاريخ. مع الأخد بعين الإعتبار إن هناك كتب أقدم من الديانة المسيحية نفسها و هي متوفرة في المكتبات و تتحدث هذه الكتب عن توافه الأمور مقارنة بالمعجزات الثي حدثث آنذاك فلماذا لم يكتب المؤرخون عن هذه المعجزان إذا حدثث فعلاً على أرض الواقع؟.
6- يعتقد الكتير من المتدينين إن قوة إيمانهم في معتقداتهم هو الدليل القاطع لصحة دينهم، فأصعب شيء على المرء هو أن يغير معتقداته لأن هذا المعتقد قد أصبح جزء لا يتجزء من أسلوب حياته وأصبح طريقة إستيعابه للأمور التي تجري من حوله حتى نضعه في مكان مختلف كلياُ و مجتمع مختلف كلياً فنجد إن معتقداته ستتغير شيئاً فشيئاً حسب إنفتاح عقله للتغيير فأن هو لم يتغير فمن المؤكد إن نسله من بعده سيتغير و يكون معتقدات المجتمع المختلف كلياً هو أساس إيمانهم العميق. وهناك عوامل أخرى تردع المرء من تغيير معتقداته مثل أساليب الترهيب والترغيب التي تستخدمها كل الديانات فهذا الأسلوب يخلق رادعاً نفسياً مقنَعاً بشكل من أشكال التمسك بالدين خوفاً من أن يعاقب في الدنيا أو الآخرة فنجد الناس يرددون عبارات تهليل و تمجيد و تبجيل لربهم و هو بحد داته أسلوب آخر ينصح به الدين لترسيخ المعتقدات في العقل الباطني. فلو بقيت تردد لنفسك إنك "زرافة" من يوم ولادتك حتى تصل لسن البلوغ فبالتأكيد ستكون مقتنعاً بأنك زرافة لأنك لا تعرف أي شيء آخر سوى معرفة ترديد جملة "أنا زرافة" و بعد إقتناعك بأنك زرافة ستحاول أن تقنع جميع من حولك بأن يصبحو زرافات مثلك و إذا لم يقبلوا أن يصبحو زرافات فبالنسبة لك هم الهالكون و أنت ستعتقد إنك الوحيد الذي على حق. فإذا لا بد أن تستخدم أسلوب التخويف لترغم الناس على الإيمان بمعتقدك فماذا تفعل لتصل إلى هذا الإنجاز:
أولاً: يمكن أن تشن حرباً دموية بإستخدام كل ما لديك من قوة و أن تسبي النساء تزني بهم حتى يلدو لك أطفالاً تربيهم و تعلمهم على ترديد عبارة "أنا زرافة.. قاتل من يقول لك عكس ذلك" حتى يصبحو هم أيضاً زرافات و يقومون بدورهم نشر قناعة الزرافة الذي أصبتهم به... و هكذا دواليك.

ثانياً: يمكنك إستخدام أسلوب الكذب وأن تنشر قصصاً خرافية عن إلهِ يعذب كل من لا يقول عن نفسه زرافة، وأنصحك بأن تبدأ بالناس المقربين لك والذين يعتقدون إنك لن تكذب عليهم فيصدقوك مباشرة، و يفضل أن يكونو جاهلين أو أجهل منك.
ثالثاً: يمكنك أن تعد من تريد دعوته إلى ديانة الزرافة بجنان يجدون ما يحلو لهم فيها ولكن سينالون هذه الجنة بشرط أن يموتوا وهم يؤمنون إنهم زرافات لأنك لن تستطيع أن تمنحهم ما يريدون و هم على قيد الحياه وتعرف أيضاً إن لم ينالوا شيئاً بعد موتهم فلا سبيل لهم للرجوع إلى الحياه وكشف النقاب عن أكاذيبك، أو أن تعدهم بجنان أعظم إذا ماتوا وهم يقاتلون من لا يقتنع بأنه زرافة.

و هذه أحد أبسط الوسائل المعروفة بالنجاح من تجربة واقعية.

ولكن لا يتوقف الأمر عند ذلك، فبنشر معتقدات خاطئة مهما كنا مؤمنين بصحتها فنحن نقتل الجزء الأكبر من أنفسنا ألا وهو القدرة على الشك والتحليل المنطقي لأن الدين ليس ما يشفي من الأمراض إنما هم الأطباء والعلماء الدين يكرسون جل وقتهم في البحث العلمي المضني والتجارب المستمرة فشل بعد فشل حتى يتسنى لنا أن نبلع حبة دواء فيشفي عللنا وبعد ذلك ننسى جهود هؤلاء العلماء و نشكر الله. لو كرس الناس كل الوقت الذي يهدرونه على التعليم عوضاً عن العبادات والأدكار التي ليس لها أول ولا آخر لكنا أصبحنا أكثر أمة مثقفة و واعية ناهيك عن ذكر كل ما يمكن تحقيقه من إنجازات وإختراعات. ففي أرض الواقع وفي المجتمع الإسلامي تذهب معضم التبرعات المعفية من كل أنواع الضرائب إلى جهات لا تضر ولا تنفع الأمة فنرى المساجد تبنى في كل ركن و نحن نعلم يقيناً إن هذه المساجد لا تجد فيها حتى دوائاً للرشحة إنما هي أماكن لغسيل الأدمغة و توليد و توجيه الكره والضغائن إلى الديانات الأخرى فتارة ننعتهم بالضالين وتارة أخرى ننعتهم بالقردة والخنازير. فكيف نتجرء بقول إن الدين الإسلامي هو دين تسامح؟ ليس الدين الإسلامي فقط بل جميع الأديان السماوية تأمر بمحاربة ومقاتلة الأديان الأخرى بشتى الوسائل فنجد المبشرين يجوبون كل بقاع الأرض إعتقاداً منهم إنهم يصلحون في الأرض وكل ما هم يفعلونه هو بناء جيش يتولد لديه الحقد لأخيه الإنسان لمجرد إن لديه إعتقاد مخالف لإعتقاد أخيه. فينظرون إلينا نظرة دونية على إننا المساكين وإننا على ظلالة من أمرنا وإننا مجرد أسماء على قائمة أصحاب السعير.
فرجوعاً إلى كون الدين يتغير حسب الجغرافيا والثقافات والعادات الموجودة فلنفرض إنك ولدت في أمريكا الشمالية لأبوين كاثوليكيين، فبطبيعة الحال ستكون مسيحياً كاثوليكياً وسيكون لديك نفس الإيمان القوي بصحة دينك الكاثوليكي كما تؤمن بإسلامك. نفس الشيء ينطبق لو ولدت في الهند لأبوين هندوسيين. أيضاً ستكون هندوسياً مقتنعا بصحة دينك الهندوسي كما أنت مقتنع الآن بصحة معتقدك الإسلامي. فكما أنت لديك مبررات لدينك أيضاً المسيحي والبودي والهندوسي والسيخي واليهودي والبروتستنتي وكل ذي معتقد وديانة لديه مبررات توازي بل و قد تزيد عن مبرراتك وحججك. فأيكم أصح؟ من الطبيعي أن تقول إن الإسلام هو الأصح و أيضاً من الطبيعي أن أقول أنا أصح والهندوسي سيقول إنه أصح... فواقع الأمر إن كل واحد يردد ما هو مكتوب في كتابه. فأما كتابي قد كتبه أهل علم و أصحاب تجارب و خبرات و إنجازات ملموسة على أرض الواقع فإيماني أقوى بالإنجازات التي ألمسها والتي أستطيع القياس عليها.

7- كلنا كنا ملحدين في فترة من حياتنا، فالطفل عندما يولد ليس لديه أي إدراك عن أية ديانات وأية نزاعات طائفية فكل ما يراه و يسمعه و يحس به هو العالم المادي من حوله وهو هذا العالم المادي الذي ينمي حواسه ويجعله قادراً على التعلم من محيطه حتى يُكَبر أبواه في أذنه ويختم عليه بختم الإسلام وهو لا يدرك إنه قد إنتزع منه حق الإختيار، فنرى كيف يتم القضاء على برائة الطفولة عندما يقول له أبواه "هذا يهودي خنزير و هذا نصراني قرد و هذا ملحد كلب و هذا هندوسي ضال و هذا و ذاك".

Why are we here?

Before i go any further i would like to clarify to the readers that every thing i have written here is just my personal views and my thoughts about how we perceive our existence in relation to reality and the revocation of the God theory.

Why are we alive? what purpose do we serve by being here? Those questions are not new to any one, certainly to some one who has been contemplating about the reason for his/her existence. Yet so far little did manage to answer that question, but still those answers are nothing but theories and personal points of view on how some one perceives his/her existence. No matter how much thought or how much we wrestle with this question it keeps staring back in our faces with irony, our existence it seems to play a cruel joke as it we stumble around our busy lives thinking that we are so special that the universe revolves around us human beings.

But we're not as special as we think we are, however we maybe special to our selves or to the people we manage to empress with our gifted and highly evolved brains, but we're not any were near to being special in this universe or any other universe for that matter.

As human beings, having the power of knowledge and intellectuality, and reasoning power, we tend to come up with ways as attempts to justify our existence and answer our life long question "why are we here?" as a result some of us come up with brilliant ideas and theories, and some other come up with ignorant and delusional ideas and theories that are not based on any physical or scientific principles. Those ignorant ideas and theories come to us in the form of "religion" "God". because people need to believe that their life has a purpose, without a purpose they feel that their is no meaning to their existence.

That's is not true, believing in the existence of a God, dose not validate our existence, we are here, and we do exist with or without a God, and even without that God, we do have a purpose in life, that purpose is to procreate and to advance, and build and live on this planet, our purpose is to self sustain and to discover the vastness of the universe that we live in as nature has intended for us from the moment we started to evolve from bacterial beginning, and to go beyond the boundaries of this universe, Saying that God put us here so that we can worship him, is by it self as bad as taking large amounts of hallucinogenic drugs and destroying brain cells. Religion has been clouding our minds for so many centuries and it still does the same thing.

Life and Death experience is not a proof of God's existence, and just because some people are able to validate the concept of a supreme being who is able to control our live and see through our every thought at every moment of our lives is not a scientific proof, nor is it an acceptable proof that God does exist.

The reason for this is that people involve their emotions when they try to find the reason for their existence, and automatically they always go after the more convenient conclusion, the one that acts as a security blanket, even though reality is not as pleasant as we imagine it, sure it is reassuring to know that some one will be rewarded for their good deeds with a place filled with rivers of wine, and the most delicious fruits. Still it is not reality, reality is here on earth it is among us yet we fail to see it, we fail to see how we are hypnotized by figures of authority that use religion as an excuse to control our thoughts and our behavior and control the way we eat the way we interact with people the way we talk, the way we dress, the way think, the way we walk, that very same authority tells us how we should love, who we should hate, how should we spend our time, they tell us to bend over backwards and give up our minds and our freedom of though and speech, so that they can use us and abuse us and squeeze every drop of blood and dignity that we have left, we are oppressed by religion we feel it exercising it's oppression on us as we pay taxes, as we learn in schools, we are being brainwashed in every waking moment of our life, Yet we still fail to see what they are doing to us, they have us blindfolded from the truth, they draw an ugly picture and promise to deliver lakes of holly fire for those who dare to take the blindfolds off, and promise to deliver heaven to those who obey and live the rest of their lives as sheep, those promises are false, there is no heaven and there is no hell, there is no life after death, our life is what we make of it, God will only exist in our heads, because there is no place for him in our universe, God is nothing but an electric impulse traveling in our neuron networks of our brains, God is nothing, Nothing belongs to no were, therefor we should abolish this false thought from our minds, and set our selves free from the chains of this authority before it destroys us and destroys every thing we've worked for and built.

We came to existence by random chance, there is nothing special about that, but it is the closest thing to logic, saying that God created us does not solve unlock the secrets of the universe, because if God did create us, logic would demand a creator for the creator. Islam claims that the big bang theory is mentioned in the Holy Qura'n, but I will have to disagree with that, after doing some intensive research, the paragraph in the Qura'n about the big bang theory that Muslims seem to tose around so happily has nothing to do with that. in fact, the Qura'n says that God created a flat earth at the beginning of creation, then he built the universe around it in a form of seven layers. what is more ignorant is that when Muhammad explained the universe to his followers he was very much mistaken about the dimensions of our planet, and the distances that separate between us and the clouds in the sky, and the dimensions of the universe it self.

For instance, Muhammad would say that the distance between the surface of earth and the clouds is a 500 year walk. then he would say that our planted is divided in to seven layers, the thickness of each layer is a 700 year walk, which is completely wrong. further more, Muhammad also divided space into seven layers each layer's thickness is equal to a 500 years walk and above that is an ocean the distance from the bottom of that ocean to it's surface is equal to the whole 7 layers of space all put together, and above that is the throne of God.

If i were to run a simple calculation and add up those numbers i would come to this conclusion:

If an average person could walk at least 80 kilometers each day, then we multiply that by 365 which are the total number of days in one year. the result would be 29200 Kilometers per year, then if we multiply that number by 500, the result for that would be 14600000, then multiply that by 7, the result would be 102200000 Kilometers, then finally multiply that by 2, which is the measure of the ocean that sprays above the 7 layers of space, the result would finally come to this distance 204400000 Kilometers.

So, if you travel 204400000 Kilometers deep in to space in a straight line, then you should run in to God. The only problem is, that sun is 500 light seconds or 8 light minuts away from us, in kilometers the sun is 150000000 kilometers away from earth, this means that God is at twice the distance away from us. Keep in mind that the distance of the nearest star which is called Proxima Centauri is 678024000000 Kilometers away from our planet. If that is the case, then logically speaking, If the Proxima Centauri among other far away stars that are visible in the night sky as well as the sun the shines brightest of all because it is is so close to us, then imagine a God who is so great and so big and huge and so magnificent and so luminant and has a very shiny face, who's larger than all the planets and the sun and all the stars put together and who is not as far from us as our sun, wouldn't we be able to see that God?

God exists because we only believe that he exists, God is Freddy Kruger, he haunts our thought and our dreams, and he is only able to harm us if we believe in him. once you stop believing he can harm you no more.

Demonic possession in Islam

Islam has told so many stories about evil spirits that dwell in places such as wastelands, and unclean places like bathrooms. It also told us stories about how those evil demonic spirits posses our bodies and make do things beyond our control.

So what is an evil spirit? In religious definition; an evil spirit (or any spirit) is a creature that “God” created from fire, this creature is invisible to humans, and has super natural abilities. One of those abilities is possessing humans (obviously).

Points of weakness: Evil spirits are claimed to be powerful creatures, but just like any other creature they have weakness points. The most great weakness those evil spirits have is when someone repeats certain verses from the Holly Qur’an, and when praising God’s name when someone feels the presence of an evil spirits.

When do evil spirits possess humans? There are so many scenarios for an evil spirit to possess a human such as when you enter a bathroom (un-clean places) without praising God’s name (Thank God for Jeff the powerful bath cleaner), or when you’re walking in a complete wasteland where all evil spirits dwell, Not believing in God’s existence, urinating or defecating on the holly Qur’an, and lastly when you go to sleep without saying your prayers.

Of course, everything mentioned above is a huge load of nonsense. And of course there is no such thing as evil spirit or demonic possession. And if you’re a religious person, you must be asking yourself, “If it’s nonsense, then why do millions of people believe in it?”

In all my discussion about religion, I find myself returning to the very same argument that sparked the beginning of religion and everything else that we take and take not for granted. The Brain, it is the one organ in our body that makes us know that we exist, our brain naturally needs to ask questions and find answers as part of its natural role to gather information that can best serve us in our every day struggle to survive in our man-made-jungle.

So what does demonic possession has to do with our brain? Well, surely you must’ve gone out in to the dark woods one day, and felt un-easy as if a presence of something watching you and out to get you. The reason you feel fear when walking alone in dark places is the natural reaction of the mind to that kind of place, it is a defense mechanism as if you’re brain is telling you to be careful. Our brain is always keeping us on full alert when we’re in a place that looks like is filled with danger or in a place that a predator could be lurking in the shadows.

Islam exploits our fears of unknown danger, it tells us stories about evil creature that watch us from other worlds waiting for a chance to possess us and control our bodies and brains. And yes Islam benefits a lot from making you feel afraid. For a very simple reason; when we’re feeling week and afraid we wish that there is someone powerful that can take away our fears and make us feel relieved, This is when Islam tells us to turn to a holly delusion to rid ourselves of a fear that Islam itself has planted in our minds, a person who keeps counting on a delusion to put his/her mind at ease, is at risk of losing his/her sanity to that very same delusion.

Counting on an imaginary God to save us from evil spirits is as depending on Spiderman to save us from the green goblin. Neither of them exists, so why are we so afraid? The basic reason for our fear is because of all the stories that we hear from early ages, it’s not any different from when a child learns not to touch hot objects, the experience can be excruciating and prints a trigger in the mind that makes a child afraid of getting near hot objects in the future. In our everyday life we are exposed to graphic violence on television, even at an early age, not to mention that we find ourselves drawn in to watching horror films that has an indirect impact on our way of thinking.

The point is; that our fear of evil spirits does not make them real, as long as we can understand the reason and history behind such an idea, the fear will go away. Islam was not the first ideology to come up with such mythical creatures; they are also mentioned to exist in all other religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism … etc. It seems like using the “demonic possession” propaganda is Islam’s way of making a person dependent on a illusionary God to save him/her from a predator that does not exist in the first place.

Many people of this day and age have wised-up, and decided not to believe in such superstitions yet millions and millions more in 3rd world nations believe in the existence of those creatures, even though they have never seen it or felt it. The fact of the matter is that people who are not willing to probe deep to find answers find themselves accepting superstitions as facts.

There are people suffering from unknown psychological problems that make them act and behave abusively to others or to themselves, thousands of years ago, those psychological illnesses were considered demonic possessions, and were treated by strapping down the sick person and beating them with torture tools as to expel the evil spirit inside them. Since then science has advanced and realized that religion was wrong about demonic possession, as it turns out that the human brain is a very complex thing, and most of the time it confuses between fact and fiction, because there is a very thin line between sanity and insanity.

Living and working in Saudi Arabia for more than five years, has given me a chance to closely observe the fear of that, which does not exist, even though were living in the twenty first century there are millions of people here swapping stories about demonic possessions, a colleague of mine at work is always concerned about his father’s psychological state, he claims that his father is possessed by an evil spirit, that makes him behave hysterically, so instead of taking him to a professional psychologist, he admitted his father to an Imam, naturally the Imam declared that his father is possessed by an evil spirit, and that he would have to expel the evil spirit by using the traditional methods, not only his father’s condition got worse but now he is also beaten up by superstitious person who believes that he has the knowledge of curing people and giving fake hope to them. Taking that in to consideration, my colleague hasn’t learned from that experience and took his father to real doctor; instead he took his friend’s advice and admitted his father again to other Imams.

What it all comes down to in the end is this, that our ignorance and unwillingness to accept science as a fact, and the willingness to accept religion’s mythology is the main reason why we are in danger of hurting ourselves and the people around us. The universe is vast enough and filled with so much mysteries that science may not be able to explain at this point, but that doesn’t mean that it is not capable of finding the answers eventually. Religion was wrong about so many things, it was wrong about the earth’s movement, and believing that physical sickness was caused by demonic possession, Religion was wrong then, and it’s still wrong now, and it will still be wrong in the future.

Near Death Delusions


Like every typical morning, i arrived to work, and like always, the first thing i do is check my e-mail, then I found an e-mail waiting in my inbox with the subject "Saved from Hell - Rev. Howard Storm's near-death experience" so I would like to quote some text from the e-mail and present it to you in this blog post:

“Rev. Howard Storm, a Professor of Art at Northern Kentucky University, was not a very pleasant man. He was an avowed atheist and was hostile to every form of religion and those who practiced it. He often would use rage to control everyone around him and he didn't find joy in anything. Anything that wasn't seen, touched, or felt, he had no faith in. He knew with certainty that the material world was the full extent of everything that was. He considered all belief systems associated with religion to be fantasies for people to deceive themselves with. Beyond what science said, there was nothing else.”

After reading this, it got me thinking about the other large amount of emails I received regarding famous scientists converting to Christianity or to Islam, not just e-mails, but I also you can read about it in religious blogs that are spread all over the internet like butter on toasted bread.

As I read the e-mail I’m filled with shock and dismay as to how religion always portrays Atheists. As if we are savage blood thirsty monsters. Therefore I decided to write this post and perhaps manage to explain the motives of such accusations made towards Atheists by religion.

First I need to stress out and clarify to the readers that Humans are emotional beings when it comes to family values friendships and life or death experiences. For example a person who gets insulted reacts to the insult according to his/her emotions. And depending on that persons “sensitive nature” dictates the amount or the magnitude of the reaction of that person. In our everyday life we go through all sorts of emotional experience that by itself shapes and defines how we act, react, and respond to those experiences, and how we act, react, and respond to similar experiences in the future.

Sometimes those experiences could have a strong impact on us, and it could and in most cases can alter how we behave to certain factors that contributed to that experience. Now, let’s set up an equation for this:

Magnitude of Experience + Person’s Emotional state = the amount of Alteration of that person’s behavior.

Rev. Howard Storm went through an emotional experience due to a perforation of the stomach that according to his emotional state changed his behavior. That blinded his mind from facts and logic. The high level of experience that he experienced made him delusional for that period of time, which made him imagine “a bright light at the end of a long tunnel”. It is a very well known fact that our mind plays tricks on us in certain times especially when we’re being deeply in an emotional state. There is however other factors that lead Rev. Howard Storm to his delusion during his near death experience. Which is the rule that religion plays in our everyday life, and how it always manages to infiltrate our minds with its teaching and preaching, just like a magician who prepares his audience for hypnosis, as the crowd carefully watch his hands and eyes gestures and listen to his words that echo deep in to their minds, then they find themselves helplessly giving in then the magician starts programming his audiences minds through spoken words and commands them to execute his word after he counts till three and snap his fingers. Religion plays the same role as the magician. It fills our minds with fairy tales and stories that are not related to logic or common sense in what so ever way. This goes on from the day you’re born till one day you go through an experience that makes you lose your sense of logical judgment for a certain amount of time in that amount of time religion snaps it’s fingers, as all the teachings and preaching you’ve had heard since your childhood till that day storms through your mind and you become fully hypnotized to religion’s will. At that moment of weakness a person admits to his/her delusion as facts. Religion finds opportunity in times like this to spread its disease to gain more control over the masses, it takes advantage of our weakness of our fears and emotions. And turn it all against us if we decide not accept to swallow their poison.

And if you do not accept superstations as facts, then you become abandoned and neglected and hated and despised by the vast majority of religious people whom your parents friends family the society that surrounds you could be part of. I can’t recall meeting an Atheist who’s unpleasant, in fact all Atheists that I have crossed paths with are people who are concerned with global issues and the wrong moral teachings of religion such as war against nations with different beliefs and forcing religion down the troths of people whom by their birth right have the right to say decline such doctoring of the mind.

The way that religion forces itself on Atheists contributes to the way how Atheists react to such attitude taken towards them, and being a minority in a society that has no respect for your rights to think and believe freely it builds hatred and discomfort, not to mention the feeling of oppression which leads to being resentful and in many cases sarcastic towards the very same people that exercise oppression and brutal force to subdue beliefs other than theirs.

People come in all sorts of colors and backgrounds; it is not an Atheist’s convictions that dictate his/her actions, but it’s the lifestyle that he/she was brought up upon. If you teach a child to hate a number of people, then that child will grow up with that hate built in to his/her mind which is what religion exercises through church, mosques, and school in a systematic manner.

Religion has been dictating how we should behave and live and eat for thousands of years, and we’ve submitted our most precious gift (our minds) to a delusion, I believe it is time for us to rid ourselves from this delusion and start dictating to ourselves on how to best behave and act in a way that is not harmful to others.

Believe or Else

"There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan (Devil) and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing." Verse 256 The Cow Sura.

One of the many contradictions in Islam, is the one that preaches about freedom of belief, in the verse above from the Quran it clearly states that there is no compulsion in Islam, any one who reads this might feel re-asured, i know i did. then when you read the verse that follows it, the whole concept changes.

"Allah is the guardian of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness into the light; and (as to) those who disbelieve, their guardians are Shaitans (Devil) who take them out of the light into the darkness; they are the inmates of the fire, in it they shall abide." Verse 257 The Cow Sura.

It is pretty obviouse now that the second verse contradicts with the first one, because Mohammad tells you that no one is forcing you to become a Muslim or to remain Muslim, then on the second verse he promises those who don't convert to Islam or who don't remain in Islam will have to suffer the torment of hell fire. I guess there is not much of choice there, Believe or burn in hell. It sounds like an effective scheme to put fear in the minds of the ignorant, and make him/her submit to his/her delusions which Mohammad had planted in his/her minds, at the same time believing that they didn't feel forced or brutally forced to be Muslims.

It is nothing more than a mind games that Mohammad likes to play on his followers, to insure obedience, submission, and leadership over the masses, and he was also good at setting examples along the way by killing all those who didn't believe him or criticized him by executing them in public, thus planting more fear in the hearts of people, fear to speak, fear of freedom, and fear of thinking, or doubt. Even now more than 1400 years after his death, people are afraid to doubt Gods existence even at their own discretion, because they've seen they have a delusion a scary fantasy in their minds that repels them from doubting, even if for some reason they start to doubt for as less as a micro-second, they mumble a few of Mohammad's magic words to repent from the sin of doubting.

Mohammad had left behind the book that he wrote "Quran" this book is now used to fulfill Mohammad's birocracy by terrorising the innocent, killing and torturing those who don't believe. Even on a smaller scale, when it comes to family relations, an atheist or a person who doesn't believe in the relegion of the parents will be an out-cast and will be rejected, his/her friends will see him/her as a person who's on hell's waiting list. It is that same relegion that takes away the goodness from people's heart. and replaces it with revenge.

Islamic Miracles in Nature

You might have heard about or seen some of the pictures that Muslims claim to be a miraculous work of God (Allah). They are posted every were on the net mainly in Islamic websites. Here i will show you a few pictures with a little comment on each picture.


I remember when i was about 7 years old i used to play a game with my friends, as we watch the cloudy sky, and imagine the shapes that clouds form, and try to guess what that shape is. in the above picture Muslims claim that a divine force had shaped that cloud to form the name of "Allah" in Arabic calligraphy. it makes me wonder though. Why would god shape his name on a cloud in Arabic calligraphy, so that only Arabs can understand his "message" why didn't he shape it in English letters? does Arabs really need any more convincing of the existence of a divine delusion?

Let's look at it from a more logical perspective, which is that clouds shift shapes thousands of times every day, and it forms millions of shapes that really looks like a face or a bunny rabbit, etc. couldn't it be possible that out of those millions of shapes that the clouds had took form of, to form a single shape that looks like the Arabic word of "Allah"?




This picture is not any different from the one above it, it's also based on the same principle of chance. through-out not just millions, but billions of years that it is a given fact that trees also grow to take different shapes. Muslims see this as a person in the "Ruku" position which is a position taken during prayer. The fact of the matter is that every one can look at this image from their own perspective using a little imagination. for example in that image i don't see a person praying to god, but i do see some one bending over about to get fucked.





At this point, I'm thinking that Muslims had really out-done them selves, but i got one word for this picture "coincidence" which is also explained by the same principle that i have explained above.




Here is another interesting picture, this was taken in
Indonesia, when the unfortunate disaster took place "Tsunami" In the picture there is a mosque that had survived this disaster, which made Muslims go "wow" and also had put them in the delusion that God (Allah) had protected that mosque. Could it be; that the mosque didn't collapse because it is made from heavy concrete cement and was re-enforced with a lot of steel? If you take a look at the top of the image you will also find another building that had survived the disaster, could it also be that God was protecting that building as well? or could it be that the other building is built from concrete and re-enforced with steel as well? while all the other houses were not strong enough to stand against such a great natural disaster.

Not to mention that Muslims believe Tsunami was sent by God to punish Indonesians for their sins. Look at the statistics, the victims of Tsunami were poor and innocent people, so it appears that in God's logic it's a sin to be poor.

Finely, If there was a God who is causing natural disasters to punish nations for their sins, and since God hates jews so much; then why doesn't that same God send a Tsunami to Israel and kill every jewish there so that Muslims can "claim back their God given right to own that land?".


A person who has a high level of intellect would easily refute those pictures as evidence of the existence of a supreme being. coincidence is not a word that refers to something that happened out of blind chance, there are laws the govern the randomness of our universe, and it's the accumulations of those law's results that leads to what we perceive as blind chance. We just have to look at the matter from a wider perspective so we can see the big picture, instead of narrowing our selves to only one imaginary solution "God".

There is nothing special about the above pictures, simply because we can look at random things and see what ever we like, i have collected some pictures of random things we see in every day life, that vaguely, or clearly looks like a duck as can seen bellow:

If i were to interpret these images as most Muslims do, then the only conclusion that i would come up with is that God is a duck.

Nature can be chaotic and random, and it produces things in so many random shapes and sizes, if we look close enough we are bound at some point to see something from nature that happens to resemble something familiar to us, that doesn't mean that there is a divine force at work.

What does religion really want from you?

It is no longer a surprise that religion (especially Islam) was the cause of ignorance and monstrosity, not to mention injustice, intolerance. a religious person would say that religion is a faith that guide people into the light, and stands against ignorance?

Well, here's what religion really wants from you:
1- believe in god.
2- never doubt his existence or you shall fry in hell for the rest of eternity.
3- try to convert those who don't believe in god.
4- if you can't convert them, then fight them.
5- spread the word of god all over the world.
6- don't buy from non believers, or sell to them.
7- if you found out that your brother, sister or a relative is a non believer then you should kill him/her
8- read the bible or Quraan till it sticks in your head.
9- brain wash your children and force them to believe in religion.
10- gay men and women should be killed.
11- say good bye to your privacy because God has angels that spy on you 24/7/365.
12- rage wars against other nations that don't believe in your god.
13- donate lots of money to church, or a mosque, so they can build more churches or mosques, and print more bibles or quraans.

Here's what happens when you do nothing of the above:

1- you're no longer bound by an imaginary force that limits your brain activity.
2- you can doubt every thing, which eventually leads you to the absolute truth.
3- you will no longer be a threat to others and you will not cause harm to others who think different from you.
4- commercial relations will be stronger than ever, having an open market between all nations without boycotts, which will enhance the economy.
5- you will have more useful material to read instead of the bible or the Quraan. which will raise your level of intellectuality.
6- your children will grow with the ability to think correctly and not judge people by what they believe in.
7- gay men and women will finely live in peace since their sexual orientation is their own personal business, not yours.
8- you can rest assured that you have a privacy and there is no angels spying on your every thought. so there's no one breathing down your neck (maybe just your boss)
9- there will be world peace, since no one believes in a god that tells them to kill each other in his name.
10- instead of donating your money to a mosque or a church, you can donate your money to build schools, libraries, or universities, or scientific research, which will result in more scientific achievements that will make your life better, and a generation of highly intelligent people. and less poverty, less ignorance, less unemployment.

These are just a few things from the top of my head, imagine just by letting go of your fear of the imaginary god, you'll be making the world one step closer to being a better place to live. try reading the bible or the Quraan from a humanitarian perspective, you'll see that it only revolves around killing and blood shed. why would some one want to be part of community that has no humanity in it? that lives by the motto "believe or else"?
we've all seen what religion done over the past few years from terrorism to war to mass killing, not to mention what was going on in the dark ages from burning, slaying witch-craft. Now we're living in the 21st century and in many nations it's still considered a crime to think or to doubt. how can humanity advance if there are authorities out there that tells us not to think, that brain washes us through the media with lies and deception?

Every day we find religion coming up with new methods to control our lives and our thoughts, which is the real philosophy that stands behind religion, it's a system of control and its what it wants to do, to control the world.

Let the Truth set you Free

Before i cap this Month, i would like to say a final statement, which should be like the moral of this month, and this month more than any other month has been an eye-opener, it has awaken a more civilized, more ethical person in me that has been buried under layers of blind belief.

However, Even if many Muslims see disrespect towards their religion by these articles and caricatures that i have posted in this blog, i feel the same way towards religion, because it offends my intellectuality, it offends my ethics, and morals, I would never respect some one or a religion that wishes me to eternally burn in hell's fire. for most of my life i have been good to people, i always try to be as helpful and delightful as i possibly can or as much as my circumstances would allow. Now as being an Atheist and not believing in God or in Hell, maybe some Muslims are wondering why do i bother being good? Since i believe that there would be no judgment? Well, it's wrong to do good for the sake of avoiding a delusion called Hell, and purely for the sake of being rewarded with the delusion of a heaven. We have it in us to do good deeds, the sense of right and wrong that motivate us to project the best of us, and to avoid making bad decisions. but why?

Think about it, we must be thinking if there is no God then there is no reward for being good, that's absolutely wrong, there are far more greater rewards, and you really don't need to wait for the day that you die to harvest the fruits of your goodness. You will discover that you will be rewarded almost instantly once you show the goodness of your heart. as for me the reward of being a better person is that i feel good about my self, knowing that i have spared others from my bad doings that i could inflict on them. Eventually it becomes an infection, it turns to a new common-sense, were being good for the sake of being good becomes taken for granted, but this means that it has also become a new foundation, and it is the right foundation that removes fear from our minds. this also opens the door to a new concept of creativity since we're not bound or restricted by blind belief, our only limit becomes our mind's limits.

Women on the other hand can play a bigger role in society, because there is no religion depriving her from her natural right to become an equal partner in our universe, thus allowing her to show her real potential, in many fields. there are many great women who have achieved very much from so little, they didn't have any better conditions that supported them to reach were they stand now, but they made it any way.

What we're standing against here is a system of oppression, a system that wants to not only control our lives, but also to control our thoughts, and to control our free will, it wants us to kill those who don't believe in what it tells us to believe in. Science has given us so much evidence and like ancient gods, science has narrowed the gaps for the lord of the gaps of our time, the very same god who has enslaved our thoughts and our lives and our time for thousands of years. We're no longer living in the old dark ages, we're an advanced society so let's act as ones, and stop causing pain and suffering to others. say NO to your delusions.

And most certainly, no one is paying me to post these articles against Islam. this is only what a brain-washed paranoid would say to redeem him/her self.

Believe it or Else

A dear friend, and a fellow Atheist sent me these wonderful caricatures by Abdullah Aziz. Hope you will enjoy them as much as we did.
