The Inaneness of Holy Books
-
From thousands or perhaps millions of human civilizations on earth throughout time, only these followings civilizations claimed to have or received a "holy book written by Gods or God".
- Ancient Egyptians (Book of the dead)
- Israelites (Tanakh & Gospels which later bundled together to become a bible)
- Israelites / Arabs (Quran)
See the connection?
It's insane... the idea of book written / authored by God is indeed an insanity.. started by Ancient Egyptians..
I'm now more interested on digging the reason behind such claims, the motives, the objectives and the nuances which drove human to introduce such concept.
The idea of "God's last revelation to human" which is 1400 years ago in middle east is definitely proven to be not true.
Hi,
Just curious, because I never really understood your point of view about the quran.
What kind of book do you think it is and who do you think the author is?The amount of new revelation and new knowledge known to human in the past 100 years alone has far exceeded the amount of revelation / knowledge collected by human throughout their estimated 200,000 years of existence.
And instead of slowing or stopping the trend shows that it is actually accelerating....And I thank God for it...
From where did you get this fact? Is there a database where we can count the revelations and knowledge throught time?
Salaam,

I made a mistake, there hasn't been any new knowledge and revelation for the last 1400 years...
The TV, Internet, Cellphone, Electricity, Nuclear Generator has been around since 1400 years ago..
And there will not be any new findings or knowledge in the future.. because all has been revealed 1400 years ago.. -

I have no idea what you are talking about or what is going on in your mind.
I said I am just curious about your point of view about the quran as I never really understood it.
If you do not want to answer, then it's totally ok with me.I made a mistake, there hasn't been any new knowledge and revelation for the last 1400 years...

And there will not be any new findings or knowledge in the future.. because all has been revealed 1400 years ago..I think you are trying to step aside from my question.
What has 1400 years ago to do with my question?
Let me repeat the question.
From where did you got that knowledge?
If you just made that up then it is totally ok with me, but if you have somewhere a database please let me know. -

Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief, except (one) who is forced while his heart (is) content with the faith. But (one) who opens to disbelief (his) breast, then upon them (is) a wrath of Allah and for them (is) a punishment great. -
I always wonder what those who don't believe in a higher power feel about the capacity of the human mind.
Do they believe that the human mind is infinitely capable of understanding, or do they they acknowledge that as complex and beautiful a carbon based neural network is, it is still fundamentally limited like everything else in the universe.
Once we acknowledge this limitation, could this be the first step towards finding God?
