So your God is the same God as Allah and it doesn't matter which one you believe in.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Did God create man or did man create God?"

No, it's as wrong as all the others, or don't you think all the other religions are wrong?
It's OK if you want to believe just please don't make it out to be a big deal, all the others are not big deals are they?
That's what is right in front of you that you don't wish to see, OK I get it.

Yes, I do think some may be telling the truth. The universe is teeming with life. We should not be arrogant and assume intelligent life exists only on earth.
You mentioned the idea of gods came for a need. Now, I believe that the system which creates the need, satisfies the need. There isn't anything, for example, we need that doesn't exist. I think people, for a number of reasons, need God, and therefore God exists.
I think humans have a fundamental need to personify the "forces of nature." I believe all knowing is analogous knowing, generalizing from the familiar to the unfamiliar. What we know best is ourselves. So there must be some likeness between ourselves and the rest of reality, or we really have no real idea what's going on. I also think we need to put a human face o n the universe. Being confronted with passive, inert, dead matter controlled by impersonal forces is pretty frightening and seems hopeless. At least, with the "gods<" you have an understandable personality to deal withy.

There is no evidence that mankind was created by god/s, only bald claims.
In contrast, there is much evidence to show that man has created thousands of gods during our history.

What ideas am I putting forward? it was you who said there was only one God not me, you said you viewed the word "God" as descriptive of the office rather than the name of the office holder, is Allah the Muslim God the same God or not?

You're back to it's wrong because it's wrong. Not much to see there.

There is none so blind as those who will not see, you are not alone, billions from other religions are as blind as you, you are all in agreement about that, you don't see theirs and they don't see yours, all are non-entities to the others.

Apparently you're convinced that it's wrong because it's wrong is a great argument.

No doubt your denial of the existence of God makes sense to you.

Indeed it does. I wish to maximise the number of true things in my understanding and minimise the number of false.
It is true that much evidence exists for the manufacture of gods by man. It is false that evidence exists for the converse.

The Muslims are getting the idea of God wrong, but there is no other God for them to point to, so it makes one kind of sense to say they are speaking of God when they say Allah . . . . and indeed, the word Allah is used even in some translations of our own Christian scriptures. Some muslims are trying very hard to make Allah their version of God without reference to the Christian idea of God and in those cases, they are wrong to do that.
So to me, the difference is in the rejection of Jesus as Son of God. The Muslims say Jesus is not God and therefore they are in error.
Do you disagree with the idea that there is only one God? You did say "it was you who said there was only one God, not me". Does that mean you think there is more than one God? I don't think so. You surely think there is only one God, just like I do, and yet . . . you find fault with me for saying that.
Quite strange.

It's your mental block that's the problem, you get something in your head and you've had it, you're trapped in a circle.
never mind, may I suggest we leave it here?

In your opinion.
Again in your opinion.
Yes.
There are NO Gods.
I repeat, there are NO Gods.
Yes it is, to believe something exists when there in nothing anywhere to show that it does is very very strange,
what else do you believe exists for which there is no evidence?
