About God
Administrator
By Irfan Khan Often a skeptic probing the nature of man and universe finds himself staring at an empty void, a dead end, which marks the offset of his imagination. Often we find it when we question the nature of Universe, or the nature of Man or God. Although nonsensical, this concept of "something" which is beyond our imagination plays an important role in our attempts to understand things and...

“Religion” creates the ‘disease’ and then provides a ‘cure’ which, in reality is no cure at all…!!! But it serves as a placebo designed to keep the human mind enthralled to the same shared ideology for all eternity, if possible if we have Free will…???
If we have free will, then we are also free not to believe in the male Jewish-Arab God/Allah or Jesus in the first place …...

Many Christians and quite a few well-intentioned Muslims are trying to find common ground between the two faiths as a starting point for realizing peace, mutual respect, and cooperation. On both sides of the divide are those who insist that both faiths worship the same God and so...

Dear Mr. Sina,
I am a man who has spend half of his life as a Muslim than got out of it and lived as an atheist - a prophet for myself I guess. But lately I have been really scared that I might not be on the right track. Age is doing this I guess. Our ultimate fear is Death after all.
I know that Allah is a lunatic , a heartless terrible disgusting "GOD". And he is so terrible that I am scared to...

(Re-Post, previously published on August 4, 2003)
Historical evidences, impartial logic, well versed references and all available circumstantial judgments can very well prove that—(a) Allah name of deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam, (b) Pre-Islamic Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity (moon-god). Allah’s name existed in pre-Islamic Arab...

By Ali Sina

Dear Hammad;
I am not publishing your email, because you asked not to. Here is my reply.
Humans have tried to find an answer to the question of God since the dawn of their intelligence. They came with various answers, only to discard them later and find new ones. Gods manifested themselves in animals, in natural phenomena, in...

Where is God?
By Ali Sina
There is not a day that a new calamity does not hit a group of people, destroying their lives and bringing much pain and misery. Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, plagues and incurable diseases every day claim their own share of devastations and deaths. "Where is God?" is the unheard cry of the victims of these “acts of God...

Life Beyond and the Single Principle
By Ali Sina
Before I proceed I would like to make this disclaimer. The following is my personal views. My personal views however are good only for me. You should not accept them but doubt them. You should doubt everything and discover your own light.
I do believe that our soul survives after our body is dead. What happens to our body is clear...

The Origin of God
Though I do believe that a spiritual reality permeates this universe which I call The Single Principle, I cannot believe in the absurd notion of the deity invented by the primitive man that is being inherited by us through the relics of their primitive religions. These religions do not answer the intellectual quest of the modern wo/man and their god is outdated and...

Evolution of Monotheism
Today’s Judaism and Christianity are monotheistic and their followers assume that this has been so since their inceptions. But a more in dept study of the Bible reveals another reality.
We should understand that oneness of mankind, is relatively a new concept. Our ancestors who lived thousands of years before us had no use for such oneness...

The Purpose of Creation
What is the Purpose of Creation? According to Islam and other monotheistic religions, is to know God and to worship Him.
"I did not create Jinn and Men except that they may worship me" (Q.51:56)
Inspired by this Islamic concept, even Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i Faith has incorporated in his daily prayer this...

The need for a personal god
This essay was written in response to an email I received from a person who has had a sudden feeling that god is his best friend.
By: Ali Z
A lot of people think of god as their best friend, someone they can count on, and someone who loves us. They assume that God is intelligent, loving, caring, wise, and someone who would help us if we asked him. They...

The following article is from Free Inquiry magazine, Volume 21, Number 1.
"No one can prove an unrestricted negative" is the reply usually given to those who claim that science can prove that God does not exist. An unrestricted negative is a claim to the effect that something doesn't exist anywhere. Since no one can exhaustively examine every...

Evolution and God
By James Byrne
The loss of belief in God can strike any person: to one who has been taught from childhood to rely on God, the loss is devastating. And, once lost, belief cannot easily be regained. It is true to say that the loss of religious belief can break a person.
I lost my belief in an external God...
