I've thought about religion alot lately and beleive I have learned few things "God didn't create man, man created God" Bonus points if you recognize the quote.Back to my point I do beleive that quote to be true in one sense or another, what I beleive is that god is a fictional character created in the place of the all powerfull hand of fate that guides the way of the universe and It's inhabitants.You see this thing that we invision to be an all powerfull entity is really just a tangible form of something to complex to comprehend so we create this Idol in our heads to put everything together, to explain mystery and excite wonder.To sum up this lesson all things are one and we envision it as such and we call it a god.One last thing about the "everything is one" line.Lock your fingers together and tell me were one hand ends and the other begins.Please feal free to critisize I just wanted to know what people would think about this.
Just to bring up a point about Religion even though it has nothing to do with my original point.Abraham had to children one founded Jewdism the other Islam.Christianity sprung from jewdism. According to this little lesson we are all children of abraham. If you beleive something else some other religion can identify with you I am pretty sure for example. Buddism, Wicka, and beleif in the great one encourage patience, respect, kindness, and respect of nature
Revisionist history at it's best. So let's see, the story has Jesus born in a Jewish culture, but he's Muslim? Unless you're using muslim as a literal word meaning "one who submits to God" but given the term usually is reference to an adherent to Islam (A form of Abrahamic religion that didn't even exist until the 7th century and couldn't have since it revolves around the inclusion of the Quran) No they wouldn't have been.
The problem with this statement is rather simple: it's a flawed attempt to make Islam appear stronger than what it really is. If Jesus was a Muslim, then how do you explain the apostles? If Moses was Muslim, then why didn't his successors teach the Islamic doctrine. You claim your morality is objective, but there are clear examples of clashing morality. How do you get around this flaw?
Their followers got corrupted by the passage of time. In time, only names of those religions remained, everything else changed.
OK magegraywolf I love that thing you posted but it has nothing at all to do with this and people keep saying I'm atheist but i'm not when I say god is fictional i'm saying religion is like a movie that's "based on a true story" and that the real story is to deep and complicated to put into the short 2 hour movie just like the thing we invision to be a god is the same way to the human mind.

it was only generally related to the relationship between the Abrahamic religions and how the Muslims are claiming dominion over all in this thread.

Atheism only deal with a single aspect, the lack of belief in a god. In other words if your answer to "Does any god exist?" is anything other than yes, you're an atheist.
What it seems you are saying here is that god does exist, but every concept we have of god is wrong. But what reason do we have to believe it's "based on a true story" if we don't have the truth to work from to begin with?
Islam had been created when the first human beings came
Uh, no. Islam was created when the Islamic prophet Mohammad said he'd spoken to God. It is also believed that this happened (according to Islams anyway) after the formation of the Jewish and Christian religions. Mohammad was believed to live a few decades after Jesus' death, I think.

We muslims believe that every prophet, since Adam has preached Islam(or their version of it, with same core principles but diiferent secondary laws) and Muhammad(SAW) was last of the 124000 prophets.
I'm sure you think you are telling the truth. Like my brother used to say "everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it is wrong."
You also claim that god sent the knowledge to make the bible, but the Quran is the perfected holy book. If that is the case, why didn't god just send the knowledge to make the Quran much earlier and avoid all of the hassle of having believers not practice their worship correctly?
The only thing that would make this logical is the assertion in the back of my head saying the Quran, like the bible and every holy book in existence, is a man made entity.

So what do you think about Buddhism? it is a way of life, even though you can say that Siddhartha Gautama (aka the Buddha) is the "god", it is a way of life. But it is considered a religion. So are you an atheist if you believe in Buddhism since it is a way of life? Feel free to point out anything wrong, sort of new to the forums.

Buddhism is considered a religion..but what Mage is pointing out is just the belief or disbelief in a deity and how your answers dictates your stance on if you are an atheist or not. You can follow the Buddhist path and still be an atheist.

You're fine ^_^

Does any god exist? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know
