I’ve always found this strange.

Muslims don’t seem to care if God is mocked but when it comes to their Prophet it’s an instantaneous, visceral response.

What’s the rationale?
 
Good point. I found that strange too. Since Muhammad PBUH is just a human, why can't a human be criticized or mocked?
 
God is universal and all people of faith believe in him. So no religion or community have ownership of him, when you insulting God you are not I silting any specific religion. Insulting God is not liked in any religion though.
 
Why should there be an outrage? God is all loving and inclusive. A matured devotee will understand this and there will be no outrage internally or externally.

Interesting to note you wrote "..if God" and not "... if their God" even though you wrote "... if their Prophet".
The implication being that the Prophet is just for Muslims, whilst God is universal. This also denies the existence of other religions that believe in many Gods.
 
It is impossible to mock God since in the relevant faiths, God is considered beyond mortal comprehension. How would you begin to mock God?

It's because God is a very abstract idea. Religious muslims are convinced that she/he exists but don't know what she/he looks like. So people don't get too emotional when God is insulted.
The Prophet on the other hand was a man who walked on earth among men, so it is easier to make an emotional link to him. Hence the anger when he is insulted. It's like what happens when one of your own is insulted. Most people won't take it.

Just my 2c :)

In Hinduism, God's can be mocked for their attire, looks, hobbies, transportation vehicle and many things.

However it's not advisable to do that.

Hindu Gods have personality and that makes them unique. It's something to celebrate rather than mock.

Most Gods in other religions however are boring in the sense that they have no form, shape, reconginzable traits as such.

In Hinduism, I can create my own God/ Deity to enhance my capabilities. Almost every village has their own god(Mostly goddess). We can create as many deities as we want. That's the reason there are thousands of Hindu deities. But there is only one supreme reality, one Brahman.

Hindu deities are not same as Abrahamic god. Hindu deities can be compared to the prophets of those religions. The appropriate comparison would be between Hindu's concept of Brahman and Abrahamic God.

That's something I've noted, You don't tend to see or hear people mocking God. Can OP provide some examples?

I always assumed that gods in hinduism were symbolic rather than actual. So when you get people praying to Hanuman, they aren't really praying to a stone monkey, but what in fact he represents spiritually.

You are right. We pray to the attributes represented by such a deity such as Hanuman's super human strength and unwavering devotion to Lord Sree Ram.
 
Silly question since God is supernatural, and from an athiest's perspective God doesn't exist, so they are mocking something they believe doesn't exist purley to get a rise out of believers.

Plus God has been mocked since the dawn of humanity, and all has failed. Belief in God is growing at its fastest pace, and now with scientific evidence, more and more people are subscribing to God.

This is precisly why militants athiests, whom many have descended to this thread, are upset and angry. The real question should be why do Athiests squander time on something they don't believe in and get riled up when they don't have evidence to support their bankrupt ideology?

3....2....1....
 
Last week in Bangladesh, two students were suspended from universities for mocking a muslim scholar through FB status. It was considered as defamation of Islam.

Only idiots in sub-continent waste their energy and time on this. We still have the blasphemy laws which is a British relic.

For the starters, God is supposed to be all powerful, but God is as helpless as a child when it comes to worldly matters. Even an infant tries to use his/her nails to defend itself, but God is completely defenseless. God cannot be seen, nor his presence can be felt or measured. God only exists in the minds of its believers. Same like Devil or Satan or the Mighty Bobo.
To make the matters worse, God sends out his word to simpletons and Goat herders who can neither read or write. The words could not be preserved. Whatever was preserved, it can be interpreted a million ways. Not to forget, the claims made by God are ludicrous.

Yeah I get frustrated when my car windows are frosted over in the morning. I think to myself, if there were really a God out there, why would he not have invented frost which is self heating and slips off the screen without needing a de-icer?

Good one. The militant Atheist classic - if God exists, why do we die?

Brilliant.

Your car wind shield freezing up has nothing to do with God. Poor analogy. We are talking about God. Not your car during winter.

Remember when you said plenty of peer-reviewed, scientific journals say science points to god and never provided proof? Now would be a good time to show some.

And what answer do you reconcile yourself with? God intended for there to be frost so human beings learn the valuable lesson of de-icing and don't take no-frost for granted? And that humans can and should not comprehend the design of life that God has created for them, and accept that frost and de-icing are HIS will and probably in some way are there for your benefit?

I have not reconciled myself yet, I was getting close then I when I was ready to hit submit to post that last reply, the site hung and suddenly there were two posts both identical which totally threw me for a loop. I thought to myself, if there was a real God, why would he allow that to happen? Or why couldn't there have been a quadruple post?

Then I thought no the double post was probably God's design to make atheists twice as angry.

Nicely done, sir. 2x post went unnoticed, perhaps if God had tried harder and gone for 4x.

But then again, I’m sure 2x is for the ultimate betterment for all of us.

What fills you guys with so much hate? I get you don’t believe in God but why attack the beliefs of those who do?

Curious because I thought atheism was supposed to be about being tolerant.

Let's leave this harmless example and take a more challenging one.

Children getting bone cancer and dying with horrible pain. Why? I have never been able to put my head around it. What's the point? Even if they have to dke young, couldn't it be painless?

Why is there such random and unjust suffering in the world? Why such brutal cruelty in the face of pure innocence?

You never understood this? Oh dear.

The reason we see pain and hurt around us is so that we are grateful for what we have by comparing our lives with what could be worse. This is when we are grateful to god.

Also God has bestowed free will upon us.

Read the Qur'an. We are all different so we may learn from one another. If we were all the same then you have nothing to compare your moral superiority too.

Still take God out the equation, does that stop bloodshed? No.

Honestly more worried about God when capitalism has caused more damage. Tsk tsk.

He has none.

Science and Religion are incompatible. They have entirely different worldview, the language in which they are written, talked about is different and they have opposite methodologies when it comes to asking questions/ looking for answers.

He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about when it comes to any topic, especially those to do with science. Be it evolution, climate change, vaccines or anything else. It's not surprising, considering most people who use science in these contexts know nothing about it.

And the crevice religious people hide in gets narrower and darker. The reason there is human suffering is so that this guy can feel fortunate and morally fulfilled because god chose HIM! You sir are the lucky winner of the god sweepstakes LOL

Are you saying that God gives cancer to some so that people who do not have cancer can feel better about themselves? I have read some outrageous posts, but this one not only takes the cake, but the entire bakery.

Death. Cancer is just a method of how we reach death. Why don't you weep when people die in their sleep?

If you don't believe in God. Pick up a science book and read up on entropy.

I didn't ask about pain and hurt. I asked about random suffering, especially children, children getting horrible diseases like bone cancer.

Are you really saying that children get bone cancer so that we can feel better about our lives?

Have you heard a child scream in pure agony day and night because of such a disease? It's not right, that's the best way I can put it. It doesn't make you question things, three is no way it can't. If not then there is something wrong, deeply wrong within you.

And trust me, I didn't think that what a lovely life I have in comparison. I haven't since, even once. It is one of the most harrowing experiences of my life. I cannot imagine what those children go through and wouldn't wish the experience from either end on anyone.
 
Death. Cancer is just a method of how we reach death. Why don't you weep when people die in their sleep?

If you don't believe in God. Pick up a science book and read up on entropy.

Tell me more about this entropy and how this relates to the discussion here. I am interested.
 
Even if we remove God from existense; death, injustices, pain, etc all exist. Free will.

Explain the logic behind the expectation of imortality and a painless living if God exists? Why should we expect this?

What is this the Athiest argument? If God exists then death and pain must not exist? Logic behind this thinking please.

You didn't read did you? Typical.

In simple english, everything winds down to zero - death.

Where do your sort come from? Can't argue Theisim, cannot recognise science.
 
You see folks - insecurity 101.

Athiests do not believe in God because they expect God to end all death, suffering, and pain. Yet take out God, and death, suffering, and pain still exists. Of course history testifies to the fact more have died through non-religous causes

Simply put, Athiests don't believe in God cos they're disappointed God hasn't bestowed his wrath, and looking to blame 'someone' else.

Athiesim is a double whammy in psychology - insecurity coupled with compensation.
 
Faith is not a reliable path to truth. The supernatural can't be tested or demonstrated to be true. You're free to believe it, but don't for a second think you're rationally justified in believing it.
 
Example of when God is mocked.

Theist in the morning. Doesn't have his usual bowl of Kelloggs Cornflakes. Man's up, has faith, moves on.

Athiest in the morning. Doesn't have his usual bowl of Kelloggs Cornflakes, seeks to blame something , blames God. Even though the athiest has a corner shop round the block for Cornflakes.

Atheism is the ideology of blame. Fact.
 
Forgot to mention, Athiests blame God even though they do not believe in God.

Athiesim is a bankrupt ideology that resorts to blame culture. Which might explain why many of the athiests in this thread have not mustered up the courage to speak to their loved ones but feel brave hiding behind a screen and a keyboard.

What are they afraid of? The wrath of a God they don't believe in? Hahahaha!
 
Death. Cancer is just a method of how we reach death. Why don't you weep when people die in their sleep?

If you don't believe in God. Pick up a science book and read up on entropy.

Your post clearly says that God gives terrible diseases to some people so that the rest will feel glad about their own misery or situation. That is a terrible post from you.
What has entropy got to do with this topic?

Nope. I said take God out the equation and diseases and death (entropy) still exist. Why you stuttering for words? Busy Googling for basic science?

Explain more about your logic. Why do you belive pain, suffering, death shouldn't exist if God does?

Come on now, spot light is on you athiest lurkers.

Give it your best shot.
 
There's more outrage when Atheisim is mocked for what it is - bankrupt ideology.

Wouldn't be too bad if militant atheists were clued up on science. Instead they blame a god they believe doesn't exist.

Halloween was a few days ago right?

Atheism is lack of belief in super natural. Its not an ideology.
 
That's not what I asked you, but thanks for playing.

You said Atheism is a bankrupt ideology. I said its not even an ideology.
Secondly, We would blame God because of what is being done in his or her name. Its My God vs Your God and the backward teachings of the God is used to justify any kind of barbarism. We are all seeing what is happening in Europe now. All because some people mocked or insulted someone's God or its holy figures.

I wonder why God cannot do anything to protect his dignity? Why are his blind followers running around like crazed chickens and chopping off non-believers heads? How helpless is God to depend on the created to protect his or her dignity?

Again, that's not what I asked you.

Don't bother inserting 10p for an extra credit.

@Thread : There's no greater evidence demonstrating how bankrupt Atheism is as an ideology than a militant Atheist waffling and fumbling his attempt at defending Athiesm.
 
You didn't read did you? Typical.

Where do your sort come from? Can't argue Theisim, cannot recognise science.

No, that is false.

Again you seem to be talking about and giving meaning to things that you don't have an understanding of.

Entropy isn't death, it's not zero either.

It's simply the statement about the microstates that correspond to some macrostate. To be even more precise it's the logrithm of the possible microstates in the system.


[Macrostate = Your big observable, your system which can be anything from a bunch of coins to the universe.]

[Microstate = A specific microscopic configuration of a system that the system may occupy with a certain probability or different possible ways the system can achieve a particular macrostate.]

Let's take Feynman's example, it's quite intuitive. Let's imagine two fluids red and blue, separated by a partition. Now let's remove the partition very slowly, such that we don't disturb the liquids and allow them to mix. It will be a slow process but gradually they will mix together and will spread over the whole container. Now try seperating them again into red and blue. That's what entropy is.

The number of possible arrangement of molecules (called microstates), that give rise to the mixed state (macrostate) are way way more than those that give rise to the perfectly seperated macrostate. There are countless interactions/ways in which you can get the mixed system, not many in which you will get the seperated one.

Which is why you will probably never see the system go back to that intial state (sperated). As the fluids are mixing you can say that the system is maximizing entropy.

And just to be clear, the second law doesn't say that you cannot create order. You can, the universe does this all the time, case in point galaxies, planets, life and so on. It's just says that the net entropy of the universe will probably increase in general in such a case, while the local entropy goes down.

So, Entropy doesn't mean 'death', 'zero' and not even disorder. Disorder is one of the aspects of entropy, it isn't entropy itself. Entropy is just a measure of how likely a certain macrostate is i.e probabilities. It goes depper still but let's stop here.

Now that you know what entropy is, I ask again. What does it have to do with the discussion we are having?
 
Ok professor. Thanks for the revisionist version of entropy. Slow internet connection was it?

Come on Athiests, tell me why you believe death, pain, and suffering should not exist if God exists? This is the reason you do not believe in God. Man up, and back your belief.

Why are you lot stalling? Stop pretending your understand science to buy time.

My previous post got deleted, what a shame.

I personally don't find the problem of evil/suffering very compelling.

It's just that if you have no evidence or justification to believe something other than faith, then you don't believe for a good reason. If your claim is unfalsifiable, then it shouldn't be taken seriously.

Right, so because God is unfalsifiable you don't believe in God. Abiogensis, Single cellular evolution, DNA appearence through chance - all unfalsifiable cos they's never been observed - yet you believe in the unseen.

You're a hypocrit. There's plenty you have not seen but believe. You just don't believe in a god cos you blame him.

Revisionist?

Also remember that it was you who told us to pick up a science book and that we don't recognize science.

You basically had no idea about what entropy is. Or lets put it this way: had a surface level pop science understanding at best.

As is the case with anything to do with science, for example when you tried to posit that orbital decay explained climate change.

I just pointed out to you where you are wrong and what entropy really is.

I am not pretending to understand anything. If you see anything wrong in the description I have provided, point it out. This will be a pointless exercise otherwise.

Now, since we have established what entropy is and it's certainly not what you are calling it to be, please rephrase your statement. What exactly is it that you are talking about and how does it relate to this discussion?
 
Based on the above, I think Tubs will be the lone warrior here. His flank of militant atheists are letting him down here.

Alas! These people do not have the courage or conviction to tell their loved ones, but expect others to believe their pesduo keyboard warrior nonsense. The gall to revise the understanding of Entropy.
 
Come on Athiests. Where's the classic soundbites? Religion has caused more deaths? Why is there suffering and pain if God exists? Why do we die if God exists?

Your chance to answer and mock God. What are you waiting for?

Why should pain, suffering, and death end if God exists?

My wife, kids and brother know that I am an Atheist. My parents I suspect know it. But we do not talk about it. Faith in supernatural is not needed to have a healthy respectful relationship.
 
You see folks, all you have to do is ask an Athiest why they believe death, suffering, and pain should end if God exists. You know why? Cos their argument is, if God exists, there would be no death, suffering and pain. Ask them why, and enjoy the show! :)

Why is there pain and suffering for infants if God exists? They do not sin and have lust. Care to explain?
 
Look at these militant athiests. Fail to backup their belief, fail to expalin why they believe, and demand answers that have already been answered above.

Bankrupt ideology, seeking closure and vindication. Insecurity too.

Of course these militant athiests have a special connection with Islam. Very vocal then! Not so now. Heheheh.
 
Remarkable, not.

When these militants atheists read - Pakistan, Muslim, and Islam in a thread title; they are the first to respond. All the flowery wannabe posts come out pretending like they know what they are talking about.

Yet here we are, asking them justify the reason why they don't believe, and they're struggling.

I'm done here. I'm sure the MAs will dabble a bait, but everyone see for yourself - these lot got no sand. All mouth no substance.

:)

That is the definition of entropy. Don't side step, add if you have anything substantial.

I won't respond to the rest of childish drivel about my loved ones or my convictions.

I think I have said enough on the topic of entropy for anyone, even you, to understand that basically you have no clue as to what you are talking about.

Just for your reading:
https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_44.html
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

Forget the math, even if you follow what is said you should be good.

Now if you would like to point out the unrevised understanding of the term, I am all ears. Or if you want to move on to something new that's fair too.
 
Now that the child has thrown his tantrum.

Maybe we can get back to the topic. The one he is so determined to deflect from.

Yeah. Sorry for derailing it, but I cant stand people being Deepak Chopra about scientific language/terms.

You're a hypocrit. There's plenty you have not seen but believe. You just don't believe in a god cos you blame him.

You still don't understand the idea of hypotheses and experimentation. You can't possibly test for god, but you can test these hypotheses with the scientific method. This is a classic false equivocation, one of the many fallacies you continually employ.

How can I blame what I don't believe in? Try harder. :)
 
God I suppose is someone / something that is said to exist outside of known space and time, is physically untouchable, and may even exist separately in some way to our universe itself. Mocking God, or even the notion of Him is therefore quite the pointless exercise.

Whereas the mocking of prophetic religious figures feels much more close to the bone for many people, as these otherwise special individuals once walked the Earth just as we do. Every day they breathed, slept, ate and drank. At different points they felt joyous and sorrowful, contented and frustrated, energetic and fatigued, forgiving and resentful. They were both perfect and imperfect — ultimately, they were human beings. Just like us.
