Thank you for making that crucial point! We NEVER hear of atheist/Muslim debates, do we? Even on this thread we have an atheist quoting Hindu "scripture". I wonder how many times that religion has been disputed by them? Rather, it is exactly because Christianity is the truth that it is attacked. Why would the enemy bother with false religions, seeing as how "he" is the reason that there ARE so many false religions???
Boatbums, if you bring out a Muslim to comment about why his deity is true, or if you bring out a Hindu to do the same, I would be more than willing to attack their assumptions. We don’t have any that do here, and hence, my focus is primarily on the assumptions of those who I am commenting with - which, to no surprise, should be obvious what that demographic comprises of.
I have attacked Islam as frequently as I can - it will only take you to look at my posting history to find out. To claim without basis that I don’t, in the face of produced evidence even on this very thread, is to bear false witness, and to lie.
When I bring about the paradoxical problems of time and deity and their interplay, I am attacking the foundational assumptions of all these religions, as well.
I'm guessing you never read the Rubaiyat; even better - here's site for you http://www.persianatheist.com/ -- the name says it all. You can translate it using Chrome translator
Even on this thread we have an atheist quoting Hindu "scripture". I wonder how many times that religion has been disputed by them? -- Quite often -- didn't you know that the CPI and CPI (M) have ruled the Indian states of Kerala and West Bengal for decades? Here's another site for you with an evocative title http://indianatheists.com/
To look at things only through a western prism can be a mistake...
The "westernism" trend is not only in the west and neither is atheism only in the West. If you go as far back as the Panchtantras you see the threads of disbelieve in Indian philosophy. I don't know of any in Achaemenid Persia though.
