I mean no offense, but you are implying that you believe in spite of logical inconsistencies and a lack of proof. You may “feel” God, but how are you to know if this is not something like the placebo effect? You “feel” God because you’ve been told your whole life He exists and the thought gives you comfort, so you have convinced yourself that it’s true.

And the proof of burden lies with the claimant. If I were to say that there is a flying bowl of spaghetti around Saturn, it would be up to me to prove it. Despite all that, I’m not saying there is no creator. I’m saying that since religions have no proof, adherents of religion should either avoid religious debates (because otherwise it just comes down to, because I told you so), or admit that they believe in spite of logic or proof, and show some acceptance of those who can’t simply believe because they’ve been told to.

No offense taken, but this question is out of context and presumptuous and somewhat not coherent in the way it has been formulated.

When I said ad hominem - I meant that sharaabee is appealing to ridiculing me instead of answering my questions. The questions that he should have asked himself before saying that “life being a test is a sick a joke” …

Assumptions I have already made in my discourse are that he already believes in a Divine Creator - so the response you have given does not share the context that I have been using. Next you say that I believe in spite of logical inconsistencies - that is not true I do not believe there are any logical inconsistencies here. However, I do believe that faith cannot be logically proven and I have “proven” that my belief system does not make a claim to being able to “prove” God - What it does say however is that as per Qur’an “That it is a guidance for the God-Conscious” i.e. it guides those people who are already convinced God exists. All the verses are called ayaat or stars or signs and signs give direction - they do not prove things to you.

Alas I can show how I reached my conclusions and rely on:

a) The other parties sense of genuineness to try to listen and understand and reflect
b) Allah (SWT) to give that person a sense of enlightenment

I do not claim to have proof of God, but I do have proof that what I believe to be from God does not claim to PROVE God to us - merely shows us signs to His Wisdom. So the highlighted in red from your quote above needs to clarify what it is that I have to prove - rather what is my claim - that “God exists” or that “assuming God exists, will our Creation be pointless”? And it was the latter that I set out to demonstrate.
