Monday, June 20, 2011 Questioning Islam and Mohammad I think the best way to learn about something is to ask a lot of questions, especially after you've read about a subject and still are not clear about what it professed. Take Islam, for example. I have questions that I believe cannot be answered by mortal man, but I'm going to ask them just the same. All of my questions have to do with Islam, the religion of peace, and they came to me after having read the Koran, the perfect word of God, or Allah. My first question is why is Allah so easily offended? If you don't pray to him five times a day, he's in a snit. Does he have an ego problem that causes him this almost chronic anger with people who don't tell him how great and powerful and wonderful he is five times a day? Is his ego so fragile that if someone said something funny about him, he couldn't take a joke? Next, I'd like to know why, if he gets really upset with somebody who blasphemes in his name, why does he need a human being to carry out the vengeance that's supposed to be rendered to the poor unlucky dude? Why does he hate non-believers when it was the human qualities of doubt and rational thinking that he gave them, that makes them doubt his existence in the first place? And if he hates Jews and Christians so much, calling them apes and pigs, respectively, why doesn't he just stop creating them, this all powerful, all knowing god? Why did Allah give Mohammad permission to have more of everything than all of his followers--more wives, more booty, more favors? And why wasn't anyone else ever around to hear Allah or even Gabriel, tell Mohammad that he could have those twelve wives, have sex with a 9 year old child, behead 800 Jewish men and pubescent boys? Why is it obvious that many people are better human beings, showing more caring and more love for people than Allah, who, Mohammad said, created all of those human beings that Allah wants to uncreate by sending them to a horrible hell where their flesh burns off to be replaced with new flesh so they may feel the full pain of his punishment? Finally, why is the koran so filled with inaccuracies about the world and the universe when it is supposed to be the perfect word from Allah? It seems to me, after reading it, that a modern child knows more about the earth and the universe than Allah, the god who created all of it all--is it possible that Mohammad made it up as he went along?
