He constantly needs some mujahidin to kill some infidel, because for some reason big old Allah is too weak for doing it himself. And then still, he fails, as Israel is now stronger than ever before. What kind of weak god is that? His followers are many and they can be strong, yes. But why does he himself never do shit? What's the point of an almighty Allah that never does anything with his power?
Anyone can say they are super duper powerful and then just say they never use their power. Anyone can make shit like that up. It's all a buch of bullshit man. Power that is never used is meaningless, completely meaningless.
in relation to this,
have you considered that maybe God does not care what happens in the world?
If he wanted things to be perfect, and everyone to submit to him, he would not have given us free will
the power to do whatever we want (within mortal limits)
that is because God allows evil to exist in the world on purpose so that he may see who is tempted and who will still remain loyal to him
all he did was send us the message, whether we choose to follow it is up to the individual
truth is objective, there is a wrong (ineffective, dysfunctional) way of doing things, and a right (funcional, productive) way of doing things
but the choice is yours
in the eternal afterlife, he will select the truest of belivers, those who proved that their faith in him prevailed even when given the choice to cast it aside within their time in the mortal realm.
he made this world to test his creation, so that he may select those who were most loyal to him during their lives, so that he can reward them
I belive perhaps God did this out of sheer desire for companionship, to be eternally surrounded by his most loyal of creations. But that is only for Allah to know
regardless of the reason, the objective fact is that religion produces better societies, and better lives.
and that societies that engage with the destructive behaviors (the sins) produce suffering and decay
that is why islam is spreading so fast
because it is the only proper way to live
all other ways are funcionally ineffective, and through their decay, will be consumed by islam
-
another point is that islam is not exclusive, it does not assert that other religions are incorrect, nor does it say that for simply beliving in another religion you will automatically go to hell.
Qur’an 2:62
“Indeed, those who believed, and those who were Jews, and Christians, and the Sabians — whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does righteous deeds — will have their reward with their Lord. No fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.”
this is unlike any other religion, islam is simply God's final message to humanity, but that does not mean the previous messages, although warped through time and alteration, do not contain some semblance of truth, even if diluted.
