No, it isn't, matey. You can't prove your god exists. The Christians can't believe their god or divine son exists. The Jews can't prove yahweh or elohim exists. The shintoists can't prove their gods exist. The HIndus can't prove their gods exist. They all say "you can't prove my god(s) don't exist." The reality is, that the fact that there is no way to distinguish any of them from make-believe is an inherent justification to not believe in the claims that they exist. Period.

Of course you can. Any proposition or assertion that has no justification for itself is worthy of not being accepted.

No you don't. You never need evidence to "not believe." If you need evidence to "not believe" then you are forced into believing many different unsubstantiated claims, because there are an almost infinite number of claims that we have no evidence for "not believing."

That's true. There's no reason to accept an assertion as true when there is no reason to accept it as true. It's a truism.

You don't accept the claim until there is evidence to support it. It's certainly "possible" that there is a planet "like our Earth" wizzing around a far away star; however, until there is evidence we are not justified in "believing" it to be true. Nobody has faith or "believes" there are planets like the Earth revolving around other stars. They hypothesize there are, and then they go out and seek out evidence to support that hypothesis.
So, your example is good in that sense. You hypothesize that there is an Allah, and I can certainly accept that. Now we're waiting for the evidence. I won't accept your hypothesis as a good theory unless and until you have presented empirical, observational evidence that there is an Allah. You haven't. So, your hypothesis, while interesting, is no better than the legion of other hypotheses: the yahweh hypothesis; the Vishnu hypothesis; the Jesus hypothesis; the Mithra hypothesis; the Gaia hypothesis; the new age energy hypothesis; the Force hypothesis.
I don't accept any of those hypotheses, including but not limited to your Allah hypothesis, because there is no empirical or observational evidence to support your assertion. It's just a belief...a wish.

LOL - a country, Israel, that was formed in 1947, lbuilt itself into a powerhouse in just a few decades. Now the Muslims ask permission to enter and leave, and ask for Jewish blessings to cross from Gaza to the West Bank. In each war, Israel got bigger, and the Muslims cried of the tragedy and the humiliation they feel. Israel makes you folks their bitch - bend over and take it as they "humiliate" you.

LOL! If that's Israel getting their ass kicked, then I'd like to see what happens when they win. What? They flatten the place and salt the ground so nothing ever grows their again?
That must be the new "Muslim" definition of "victory" - you've been "humiliated" so much that now you think that when you're humiliated, you win.

What a joke...Muslim armies...you buy all your weapons from the leftover army surpluses of real countries, and think you're big and bad. Fire another Katyusha rocket...lol ...the Russians are counting their money while you fire another rocket into an empty parking lot....
Muslims lie to Kafirs - it's a command from your false god.
now you are lying. :pissed: [/quote]
Not at all, the Prophet will not hold Muslims accountable for lying to the kafir, because it is for the greater good of spreading Islam and/or defeating the kafir. It's in the Koran and Hadith. You know that Mandy. You're a good Muslim. So, stop lying. Oh, that's right, you are allowed to lie to the infidel, so we never know if what you say is the truth or a lie.
