Sith, from what you say, atheism doesn't appear to be something you've given a great deal of thought to.

i know. But how do you know that I could not be speaking from an atheists viewpoint. ok, i was not atheist before converting to islam, but i was another religion. I was not Muslim my whole life.

I've just told you.

yes, but the fact remains, i have not always been Muslim so therefore i can speak from another viewpoint.

Sorry, but I think that is hilarious! Although there are converts, the vast majority of people with a religion, including Islam, believe what they believe because they were told to believe it as children, i.e. they have it thrust upon them.

yes, but beliefs differ between religions and beliefs. What you believe is not the same as what someone else believes. You probably believe people are born with no religion, we believe people are born as muslim. that may sound like a joke to you, but i could say the same about what you believe.

i think you will see that almost every country in the world now has muslims in it.

No, we know it isn't. Jesus, Moses, Uncle Tom Cobley and all, were all Muslims - even though Islam hadn't been invented and so none of them knew they were Muslims. We know.

//What you believe is not the same as what someone else believes.//

That’s why you can’t speak from someone else’s viewpoint.

Glancing at the number of questions about atheists and atheism on this site, the majority appear to come from people with some sort of religious belief. Why are they so frightened of atheists if they are sure they are right?
