OK. Fine. We won’t judge the religion based on its followers. We’ll judge it based on its god. We’ll judge it based on the actions of its prophet. We’ll judge it based on the depraved teachings forever enshrined in its holy book.
We’ll judge it based on the fact that Allah the great sadist says that he could have guided all of mankind, but instead CHOSE to lead people astray (including kismet and the rest of us good people, apparently)because he WANTED to fill hell with men and with jinns all together. (Qur’an 32:13)
We’ll judge it based on the fact that its prophet forced a woman to engage in sexual acts with him the very same night after he had her husband and father killed, he girlfriends enslaved, and her village raided. (See the story of Safiyyah)
We’ll judge it based on the fact that its prophet also had sex with a girl who would barely be in the third grade today, having her unsuspectingly prepared for a sexual encounter with a man more than 40 years older than her on the same day she had been innocently playing on a swing with her dolls. (See the story of Aisha)
We’ll judge It on the fact that its holy book, held up by believers to be the miraculous, unchangeable, perfect speech of a merciful god, says that a man can beat his wife, that a woman’s testimony is worth half of a man’s, and that women who have sex out of marriage should be held in solitary confinement until death.
Things are not looking very good for your Islam right now, are they?
You seem like a nice guy. I want you to really think hard about this. What kind of person tortures the people he supposedly loves so much like this? What would you do if I told you that I made my daughter starve and sleep outside the house because I loved her? How sick would you think I was if I told you that I abused her, and watched her get abused by others, just too see if she would still love me after that? What if I told you it was all so that I could make it up to her by “rewarding” her once she was older. Rewarding her, of course, would mean allowing her to live with me and feeding her and letting her praise me all day as a great dad. Do you not see just how depraved of a god Allah seems like to us?
Let me ask you a question. Why does an all knowing god need to test people? Doesn’t he already know everything that will happen? Doesn’t he already know every possible outcome that could ever turn out? God “testing” people, especially through real pain, hardship, and misery, is nothing short of cruel and twisted sadism. If I had the power to end human suffering with a blink of my eye, I would. Wouldn’t you? Ask yourself. Why doesn’t god? Is he happy with our suffering? Is he content with it? Or is he unable to change our circumstances? Or does he need his ego stroked, does he want to see us beg and plead and tell him how fabulous he is before he’ll pay us any mind, before he’ll get up off his recliner and lift a finger to make the world a better place? “Say: My lord does not care about you all except because of your calling out to him.” (Qur’an 25:77) What does this say about your Allah? He seems rather unpleasant to me. He seems like a complete douche.
So, the devil is the enemy, huh? And Allah is all powerful, right? So why doesn’t Allah just get rid of the devil? Why didn’t he just dispose of him ages ago? Surely, Allah knew the devil was going to try to lead people astray. The devil TOLD HIM he would try to, right? And Allah was just totally cool with that. In fact, Allah BRAGGED about all the people he would torture in hell. So, it stands to reason that having the opportunity to torture people was Allah’s plan all along. I have to ask you not only why you believe in such a ridiculous notion of god, but why you choose to love and worship this god.
If this god exists, then he is nothing short of our enemy. He created us, damned by our very nature, with the intention of torturing the vast majority of us for eternity. He threatens our planet with destruction unless we worship him. He threatens our families, our friends, and our countrymen with an eternity in the worst torture chambers ever imagined unless we feed into and fuel his vanity and narcissism. If your god is real, he is the true enemy of humanity. I for one will not hesitate in calling him my enemy and rebelling against him.
But since he Is not real, I don’t need to waste my time worrying about him. And neither should you.
