Mansoor: Why do you insist on proving to us that Allah is a powerless confused being?

Mansoor, you write:

>>The idea of God developed by the West and followers of Christianity and Judasim and other religions is like an entity who created this whole complexed system around us and then slept for long...without caring who is doing what and who is saying what and the system is running on its own track...<<

This idea was not developed by the West but by Islam/Muhammad. Muslims claim that the scriptures sent by Allah were corrupted by Christians and Jews. Was Allah sleeping for 600 long years before he woke up to the fact that his messages were being corrupted and decided to make one last attempt to protect his messages? Why did Allah wait for 600 years "without caring who is doing what and who is saying what and the system is running on its own track.."?

>>Angels and Spirits or what we call Malaikah and Rooh are bound to Allah's will and they are not able to think or take a single step against Allah's commandments.<<

What you are really getting at is that humans can defy Allah's commandments and that angels have been created without the ability to think and go against Allah's will. But Mansoor the Koran itself tells us that Allah failed in this project. Iblis defied Allah and proved that He is incapable of creating entities that obey his will. Iblis had free will. If he did not what it means is that Iblis was and is acting according to Allah's plan to misguide humans who have been created with free will.

Since Allah has created us with the capacity to disobey Him why does He get so upset when we defy Him? If His purpose in creating us was to obey His will why did He not create us to be obedient to His commandments just as He did angels. Your Allah seems to be a very confused god.

>>Similarly every thing around us is following strictly the guideline or you can say commandments of the Lord. Otherwise, we would have faced extreme resistance from those who were already living on earth before us. The elimination of Dinosaurs and clearance of Earth from highly destructive animals and harsh climate was the part of preparation for sending a very important creation to this planet that creation was human. The system is running since thousands of centuries without halt or disturbance...<<

Now you have given another demonstration of how confused Allah is. Why did He go to the trouble of creating dinosaurs and then have them all destroyed to clear the earth for humans? Or was there some other Allah from whom this Allah took control like kings of old and cleaned it up for His creatures? Could He not have created an earth that was conducive to human existence from the beginning. Why did He have to experiment with dangerous animals and bad weather to figure out the best system for our existence? Why does Allah claim He is all-powerful, all-knowing? You just proved Allah is none of these.

>>Only we and Jinns were given free will and undeniable signs and repeated revelations to identify the Lord.<<

Do jinns also have their version of various prophets giving them signs of the glorious Allah? And what are these undeniable signs? The bees building hives all over the place, the sun setting and rising, the wind bringing rain? Why don't you also claim that your posting such nonsense here is also an undeniable sign of Allah's existence??

>>When disbelievers say that they want to see the Lord with their eyes then they would believe in him, then the test ends over there because the difference between human and angels would be wiped if we see God with our own eyes.<<

So Allah is playing some sort of game with us. If we see him, then the hide and seek game he has devised will end and we will without exception accept Allah as the great lord of the universe, and He will be forced to send us all to heaven. But Allah has devised a treasure hunt with clues to His existence hidden in bees, mountains, rain, stars, sun, moon and so on. If we fail to spot His existence in these signs He takes great pleasure in torturing us forever. Can you fault this scenario I have drawn up about your Allah and His childish game of a treasure hunt?

>> To solve a mathematical question you have to use the defined principles rather than using your own lame theory. Similarly to reach the Lord you have to use to perfect divine revelation rather than fishing around with the baseless faiths of your choice where the idea of ever vigilant and ever watching God is diluted and wiped off<<

A fine example of Islamic gobbledygook and impossible to decipher. You will have to use less daunting language than you have for me to comment on what you have written.

Regards

Plato
