Let's leave God alone

Friends,

I'm sorry Gale but you cannot see the
validity of the argument because you don't
want to. I say this because of the reasons
you are giving. Quran informs us that God's
work in our universe is done through the
angels, and they climb to HIM in a 'day'
that equals 50 thousand 'years'. That is why
when God comes, the universe will break up.
HE
is Omniscient and Omnipotent. That
is why the word 'WE' is used repeatedly in
the Quran, except when it comes to worship
or prayer. It seems you are not referring
to the Quran, rather the Jewish texts,
because you are unaware of what basic
Quranic verses are saying.
You really think God enforces the laws of
nature by actually driving the winds
HIMSELF? Please come up with a better
argument.
It seems he has forgotten to tell us
that Allah is a triune deity, a trinity made
up of Omniscience, Omnipotence, and
Omnipresence. It follows that if Allah is also
Omnipresent, then He is present as much in our
lives here now as He is in running the
universe from somewhere out there. God
therefore doesn't have to enter the universe
we inhabit in order to shatter it.
One can
get so drunk on Koranic verses that one
forgets that other than the hotchpotch of
history in the scripture, Allah is to be seen
as a spiritual entity that pervades everything
rather than as a tyrant sitting on his High
Chair and waiting in exile so that He can make
a comeback as in the days of old.
This
thing we call God simply is. . .
and He cannot be encapsulated in any verse or
book.
The more
literal one gets with what the Koran says, the
more one propounds the madness called
Religion. All religions celebrate the
existence of a superpower that we call God,
and God would be foolish to make myriads of
creatures called human beings who fight like
animals -- sometimes just to prove a point!
I suggest
we stop speaking on behalf of God, Whoever He
Be.
