Exactly, my dear Nozzi, how could there be me, Plato, if Allah exists. Here I am doing all I can to discredit Him. He knew before he created me that this is what I will do. Why did Allah create me? Either He wanted me to do what I am doing or your Allah does not exist. So which is it??
>>BE CAREFUL OF YOUR WORDS! YOU ARE OFFENDING MUSLIMS.<<
Why should Muslims be offended? I quote the Koran and try to interpret what it says. Why don't Muslims prove to me the Koran is not saying what I think it says?
>>YOU ARE SUCH A REBELLIOUS MAN!<<
Since you believe in Allah you know that Allah was responsible for creating me. Who are you to judge Allah's action? Rebelling against what and whom? Rebelling against a phantom god is irrelevant.
>>WHO ARE YOU TO COMMENT ALLAH! ALLAH IS THE MOST MERCIFUL BUT YOU ARE ...! <<
The Koran claims to be a book for all times, all places and all peoples. So I took its claim at face value and went to the trouble of reading it from cover to cover in several translations and also read what its interpreters had to say. Should not everyone try to understand the Koran?
What I found was a book full of contradictions, bad science, filled with threats from a boastful, jealous and angry god, who is forever threatening to burn anyone who dares to give Him partners. This god keeps claiming again and again that He is the most merciful, which to me, after what I read in the Koran, is obviously a dishonest claim.

Plato
