Peace TheoristJust like you have swept in to this conversation without reading this thread in the same way you paint religious adherence with the same brush … you disregard the scholastic approach to scripture in Islam or do not know about it … It is a duty for us to listen to people but we should also verify what we are given … this is a scientific method, but I have taken it from Quran the difference between Muslims and Dawkins - you say he is not hypocritical and is logical … so by that token you say Muslims are hypocritical and illogical … You should realise that he has everything to gain from his stance … the irony is that he doesn’t believe in religion and has no need to be truthful yet you believe him and our religion requires us to avoid hypocrisy and be truthful yet you blame us for doing just that - we fear the punishment and he has no belief in the consequence of lies. Perhaps you just don’t understand our take and confuse it for hypocrisy?

I apologize for sounding offensive; this wasn’t my intention. I get what you are saying, I was on the other side of the fence once too. I understand the need to defend your scripture and your faith is great here. I am afraid I do not understand the meaning of the verses you have posted. You are absolutely right in saying that Dawkins and the like win either way because they really are not obliged to be truthful and they feel they have ^no one to answer to. When I said religious folks are hypocritical is because the scripture itself contradicts many things in it. Theres ^no point in arguing about it because you will never see them as contradictions or that the scripture is flawed. Hence, atheists think your logic is flawed and biased to begin with. Your side loses credibility quite quickly into a debate. That’s what I mean when I said tableeghi religious folks are hypocrites. They find faults in science, which science welcomes but do not see their own shortcomings which is equivalent to being blesphemous. You can ask all the questions in the world because you feel Allah has given you this option but at the end you will choose tO believe the Quran. That is the ultimate truth for you! Hence, it’s hypocritical that you wish to explore science but refuse to believe it’s findings.
