What I'm asking is, has there been anyone who attempted that? The only name I've heard is Ibn Warraq.
So webbess1 asked that question..
I don't know what to say and I don't know who that guy was/is?? ..( well I am lying) ...... I know one guy and his name was
"Abu 'Isa Muhammad ibn Harun al-Warraq " ..Let me put somethng about him here
Abu 'Isa al-Warraq, or in its full name
Abū ʿĪsā Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Warrāq , was a 9th-century Arab skeptic scholar and critic of Islam and religion in general. He was a mentor and friend of scholar
Ibn al-Rawandi in whose work
The Book of the Emerald he appears.
Al-Warraq was skeptical of the existence of God because
"He who orders his slave to do things that he knows him to be incapable of doing, then punishes him, is a fool".Al-Warraq challenged the notion of revealed religion.
He argued that if humans are capable of figuring out that, for instance, it is good to be forgiving, then a prophet is unnecessary, and that we should not heed the claims of self-appointed prophets, if what is claimed is found to be contrary to good sense and reason. Al-Warraq admired the intellect not for its capacity to submit to a god, but rather for its inquisitiveness towards the wonders of science. He explained that people developed the science of astronomy by gazing at the sky, and that no prophet was necessary to show them how to gaze; he also said that no prophets were needed to show them how to make flutes, either, or how to play them
Al-Warraq also doubted claims portraying Muhammad as a prophet: That Muhammad could predict certain events does not prove that he was a prophet: he may have been able to guess successfully, but this does not mean that he had real knowledge of the future. And certainly the fact that he was able to recount events from the past does not prove that he was a prophet, because he could have read about those events in the Bible and, if he was illiterate, he could still have had the Bible read to him.
Ha! let me read this again..
"He who orders his slave to do things that he knows him to be incapable of doing, then punishes him, is a fool"...... Abū ʿĪsā Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Warrāq
what a statement., Imagine.. if so-called Muslim folks followed that man since that 9th century., What could I and you be seeing in this 21st century between that Sand land called "Saudi Arabia" and that land in ocean called "Indonesia"?? .
that is 12 hundred years.... damn so much time is gone webess1., I wonder what this planet will look like in the year 2016+1200= 3216?? with faith heads and without faith heads..
with best regards
