First, to estaBlish my bonafide's...eight years at four universities, enough credits for a Moaster's degree in Economics, English Literature, American and Western History and a doctorate in philosophy.
More importantly in terms of acquiring knowledge, is a fifteen year profesional career in talk radio, where, in addtion to many others, I interviewed Catholic Bishops, Priests, Nuns , leaders of all the major fatithss, including Islam, Indian, Japanese and Chinese beliefts, those usually from college professors and writers of note on the religion and th issues.
The format was always the same: I, the non-believer, the atheist, against them, the believers and advocates of faith from all directions.
I never lost an argument, a discussion or a debate, not once.
Man acquires knowledge by one means and one means only: discovering, idenifying, analyzing, concerptualizing and absracting evidence provided by the sense and by the perception by the human mind, of that which is and that which is not.
There is no evidence, none, not a single shred of evidence supporting the existence of a supernatural being. Rational men acknowledsge this and understand that there is no God and never has been.
Religion, faith and belief, all should have died with the Rennaissance and the rebirth of scientifuc method. It did not die because those of low intellect cannot comlprehend existence without guidance, and cling to a medieval faith.
Religion, faith and belief, is and always has been the most destructive of all human activities, bar none. It has taken more lives and destroyed mor civilizations that all the plagues and natural disasters in all of recorded history.
The current threat is Islamic terrorism expanding and killing people on a global scale.
This respolnse is not intended, necessarily, to be argumtative or confrontational; it is an expression of an opposing point of view that respresents a much wider audience than you will ever admit. Religion plsys a smaller role in human events than it ever has before in all of human history.
I offer you an anomaly for your consideraton and amusement. I accept of axiomatic, self evident truth, that all peorple are equal under the law. That each human possesses the innate and unalienable rights to life, liberty and property.
The world was late in granting equality to women and that decision has brought about changes in society that one may declare to be catastrophic in terms of the family and the nurturing of children. Western women have abused and misused their politicial and created a,'nanny State' or 'Statist' form of government that serves the special interests of women at great cost to the stahility and security of society. Only one out of five of the current Zero generation will marry and have children. In the Muslim world, women are producing babies at an eight to one ratio over Western women.
The anolmaly is with my thinking that all people, women included. have liberty and are destroying our culture and causing a diminished society by not procreating and learning values and virtues through the nurturing of children and maintaining a stable family.
Islam, on the other hand, oppresses women, forbids their innate right to life and freedom aand Islam is expanding worldwide.
There is a great need for fine minds such as yours to seek out a ratoinal, objective moral and ethical system that does not rest upon faith or belief, but truth and fact and non contradictory congruency of content and purpose.
At your age in life, you shoiuld have already abandoned all faith, challenged every belief and defined your own philosophy of life.

attributes of the Prophet'' by Mehak (Mehak identifies herself as a 27 year old woman from Pakistan)
•
Never has so much been written by so many of thelife of one human being, of any time, than on Prophet Muhammad(PBUH). Eminent people from other faiths, too, have showered him with praise.
Thomas Caryle was not only one to pay tribute in his lecture on ''Hero as a Prophet'', choosing him over all those mentioned in the old testament, from Adam through Abraham, to Moses and Jesus.
Nepoleon Bonaprate et Islam in quoted as saying : ''Moses revealed the existence of God to his nation . Jesus to the Roman world, Muhammad(PBUH) to the old continent..Arabia was idolatrous when ,six centuries after Jesus , Muhammad(PBUH) introduced the worship of the Gos of Abraham , Ismael. Moses and Jesus.
''The Aryans..had disturbed the tranquility of the East by agitating the question of the nature of the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost. Muhammad(Pbuh) declared that there was none but one God who had no father, no son. I hope the time is not far when i shall be able to see the unity of all wise and educated men of all the countries and establishment of a uniform regime based on the principles of Quran which alone are true and which alone can lead men to happiness.''
And this from George Benrad Shaw : ''If any religion had he chance of ruling over England, nay Europe, within the next hundred years, it could be Islam. I have always held the religion of Muhammad(PBUH) in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is only the religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him, the wonderful man, and in my opinion far from being am anti Christ , he must be called the Saviour of Humanity.
Muslims everywhere, too, shall pay the prophet special tribute in this month of Rabi-ul-Awwal to celebrate his birth day. Many will rejoice , as there will be illuminations , particularly in the mosques. Religious scholars will recount anecdotes from his life, highlighting his character and achievements, and recalling his sayings on different aspects of human life before gatherings of devotees. Naat recitations and milads ( sessions singing praise of the prophet) will be held everywhere.
Scholars will dwell upon his attribute of Rahmatlil Aalamen (Mercy of all world's including those of the birds, beasts, of insects and worms, etc), because a Muslim is adjoined to noy hurt any living being except in the way of followers about how to treat women, how to interact with people of other faiths and how to carry to carry oneself in one's every day life.
Yet unfortunately, many will forget the profound and inspired discourses as they leave their respective congregations. A few of those who may be swaying in ecstasy at the mention of he Holy Prophet's name would go back to indulge in sectarian hate and killing, as we have been witnessing in Pakistan.
As Rahmatalil Aalameen the prophet gave protection to christians through a convent signed in 628 CE, when a delegation from At Catherine's Mostrey visited him seeking his protection. (The mostrey, located at the foot of Mount Sinia , is a world's oldest, and a treasure house of rare manuscripts, icons and christian history) .
Verily I, the servants, the helpers , and my followers defend them because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! i hold out against anything that displeases them.
No compulsion is to be on them,,Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs not their monks from their monastries.
''No one destroy to the house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything
from it to Muslims's houses.''
''Should anyone take any of these (belongings), he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have many secure charter...
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to flight. Muslims are to fight for them.
''If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.
''Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor (barred) the sacredness of their covenant till the Last day (of judgment),''
It is essential to remember this covenant was made binding on all Muslims for all times, past, present, and future, till the day of judgment. How this covenant has come to be ciolated in some Muslim countries, including Pakistan, should shame anyone who claim to love or follow the Prophet of Islam.
Here they have racsacked and burnt churches, they have killed not only Christians, but also Muslims , for instance, for sympathising with an oppressed Christian as in the case of Aasia Bibi. It's time we took stock of such violations of the Isamic code of respectful coexistence amongst faiths.
