My friend is a muslum, I am myself a catholic even thought I do not practice the religion really. The other day I was talking with my friend and I tried to way to see why God would not exist and such. This is where we came to.
My first though was that, in the cor'an, it say's "read". As in reading the bible, it also say's that the one that wrote the cor'an didn't know how to write and such before he got into contact with God. Well, he wrote that himself. But if you think about it, those points are just to make you read it. Give you a good reason to read it and follow the religion.
My second though is that in my opinion all religion we're created to fill the gaps we can't fill ourself. Everything we do not have a solution to, we fill God to that problem. A good example would be the universe. Now, our question is how was it created etc. We don't know the answer so we blame it on God, filling the problems we have with a God.
My third though is that if you read the bible or the cor'an. You'll realize that everything that is said is really want we want to hear. Would you like to hear that when you die there wasn't going to be another world waiting for you? Hells no. That's why the religion was created. It's what we want to hear.
My fourth though is the following. I asked many people why they followed a religion, most of them said so they could go to heavens. Well, if you think about it. They are forced to follow the religion because we don't know if there's a heaven and they don't want to take a chance and not get accepted and you guys know it. Ask yourself that. Why am I following a religion, for what goal. It's not the money, not the fun.
If you go back in time, the church used to rule. They ruled because the bible was a good way to attract people and keep people occupied and busy. People had to beleive in their religion because they didn't want to go to Hell. So bingo for churchs because now they have total power over all using religion as a tool.
