Inside the heart of non-believers

Re: Inside the heart of non-believers

@ajazali

Maybe I am not correct entirely but I feel that non-believers always think as ‘What if God exists? I should find more and more reasons that could disapprove the existence of God’.

p.s. no offence intended, thread is just for discussion purpose.

Ahh..the old Pascal’s wager! Pascal's wager - Wikipedia
So what if god exists? What if god doesn’t? If your only reason to believe is, what if, then your faith is rather…weak.
But to your broader point, by your argument…the believers, as non-belief is not really a position but the default, are not only betting that your version of god is correct but that everyone else’s version of god is wrong.

P.S: I’d suspect you’re not very correct at all.

The word “Kaafir” in Arabic is popularly translated to “disbeliever” or “infidel”. But in its lexical sense it comes from the word “to cover” or “to conceal” … In the sense of “kaafir” it refers to “covering ones faculties of perception” such that the impetus of belief is being prevented from its acceptance on account of the desire that precedes and rules over the better judgment of a person.

I find that instead of trying to “find the truth” in sincerity … many non-Muslims who have spoken to me about Islam do so with a lot holding back … they will not allow themselves to get caught up in convincing argumentation because “they don’t want to be made convinced - they will often say that too”

I’m going to take a wild guess and say you were born in to a Muslim family and raised a Muslim, regardless or the particular sect.
