"I am curious why you are on this thread. "

My posting was because somebody decided to proclaim the superiority of their religion over Islam, while I think they are both equally wrong.

Equally wrong? Now that's a curious indictment.

Muslim science was still-born thanks to the Islamic insistence on the absolute freedom of Allah, while the vibrant flourishing of science that lives today arose in Christian lands, where "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God and the Logos was God," provided a basis for regarding the world as rational.

Slavery was abolished by Christians whose moral anthropology begins with "come let Us make Man in Our image and likeness" and "In as much as you do it to the least of these, you do it to Me," while it persists among the Muslims who declare, "Allah has no image."

How does your materialistic certitude that there is no God stand against the old Cappadocian dictum "I believe in God; God does not exist"? Descartes showed materialistic empricism to be untrustworthy, and you sneer at faith?
