Re: How does someone become an atheist?
I really don't see the logic in thinking that there's no creator...
Sure it's as ilogical as saying God has no creator. If not why not? After all as you said yourself "I really don't see the logic in thinking that there's no creator".
Even if you bring evolution into the equation it STILL doesn't make sense without a creator...
Same reply as above.
IMHO atheists seem like people tying to delude themselves into thinking that life has no purpose... and you know what they say, if you repeat a lie enough times, even YOU start to believe it.
Why do you think that atheists are deluded? afterall they just believe in one less God than you. That would make theists atleast partially deluded.
Another thing. Once I was at a Mosque gathering, and someone said, "Deen akkal kee cheez nahi hain, nakkal kee cheez hain" and I completely disagreed with him. Everything in Islam is based in logic. You just have to find it. 1400 years ago Sahaba slept on their sides because they saw the prophet doing it. Only now are we starting to realize the immense health benefits. Anyway, so I bought up this issue with my Chachoo and Chachee and they said that Deen is "nakkal" and when you use "akkal" too much it leads to atheism. This indicates (to me) that she thought "akkal" cannot recognize a creator.
I disagree. I think if you use your akkal enough, you can recognize a creator. But if you use your akkal to a degree and stop wherever it suits you than obviously you'll find what you want to.
What you say is true but IMO unfortunately all the religions have transformed into rituals.
