I used to be a muslim. I think the quote above sums up the conclusion I have come to in my contemplation of theology. i.e.: “we are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.” That famous biologist was Richard Dawkins, no dout. Every believer, of what ever diety they beleive in, sees their God as the best and the highest type of God that our human mind could comprehend. I incline to Dionysus more than Allah. But thats just me. :) I do know Him. I used to be a muslim.

Which means I don't believe any diety. So I accept the first half of the shadda. Well let me know about this god and I'll tell you if I have heard about it. Ma Salama I’m an athiest.

[b]Egytian grad. student[/b]: I don't believe in the God you don't believe in. I believe in a God you don't know about. [b] Atheist[/b] Interesting. Who is this God. Tell me something about this God. [b]Egyptian grad. student[/b] He is the only true God. All others who are attributed with Godhood are false. He is Allah. There is nothing like unto him. He is "the eternal beginingless and endless Creator of the universe who has the power to do all things contingently possible, knowledge over all things, will, and is completely different from his creation." * [b]Athiest[/b] Oh, I knew about this God. I don't believe in him either. [b] Egyptian grad. student[/b] May Allah guide you to the straight path [b]Athiest[/b] Your intial comment was interesting. You said that you too didnt believe in the God that I didnt believe in. You are an "athiest" regarding [i]some[/i] Gods. I am an atheist regarding [i]all[/i].

It really made me think and I was dumbfounded by the wisdom contained within it. The only other quote whose veracity I can attain to is the "The only culture punjabis have is agriculture." I told my parents that joke and my dad laughed and mom didn't. barrrrrrr masalama Assalamu alaikum

When one states he does not "believe in God," one should ask them what exactly they mean, as we may not believe in that "God," either. Imam al-Ghazali once stated that when meanings are set there is no use quibbling over names. Our belief in God - or Allah - is in the eternal beginingless and endless Creator of the universe who has the power to do all things contingently possible, knowledge over all things, will, and is completely different from his creation. Their "God," is often a man (or the third of three), or an anthropormophic entity, who is either powerless (God can't prevent the Devil from doing...) or is not necessary to exist, who does not create evil, and who is like his creation. Of course we do not believe in such a false theology! This is a wonderful point you raise and one that Shaykh Hamza Yusuf stated once too.
