Preface
Q0: Before we discuss about God, can you tell us about yourself?
Q1: What do you mean by not gambling
?
Q2: How do you describe God?
Q3: What is your evidence for existence of God?
Q4: Why don’t God just shows Himself up for people to believe?
Q5: If there is no evidence of God’s existence or non-existence, how do you know that your belief in God is right?
Q6: Can you explain the logic and science that support your belief in God?
Q7: Do you think non-believers of God will accept your logic and science to believe in God?
Q8: Why do some non-believers of God don’t want to open their minds and what’s your view?
Q9: If God exist, how do you think God governs this universe and what is the purpose for existence of human being?
Q10: So, you infer that the laws of sciences were created by God. Please explain.
Q11: If God is so intelligent and powerful, why God took that long 13.8 billion years to create this universe and human being?
Q12: But science brought man to the moon, not God.
Q13: Isn’t that believing in God’s miracles is like believing in fairy tale stories?
Q14: If God exist, why all the suffering in this world? Why let devil tempt us to Hell? Why not just put all of us in Heaven from the beginning? Why problems continue to prevail?
Q15: If God is not injustice, then why God treats man and woman not equal?
Q16: Why all those commands given by God to human being and why do we have to obey? Isn’t that too much to obey and that we will still end up in Hell for believing but disobeying God? We are not slaves.
Q17: Why God ask us to pray in certain language and to fasting?
Q18: What do you mean by giving? Why giving?
Q19: Why believe in God that led followers to many terrorisms in this world?
Q20: Why should we believe in existence of Heaven and Hell?
Q21: Why should we believe human soul can be eternal?
Q22: Is our destiny or fate already determined by God? If yes, can our destiny or fate be changed?
Q23: Why and how God destined our death?
Q24: How do you know that the contents of holy book were God’s revelation and not man-made?
Q25: Why did God send a Messenger to communicate to us?
Q26: Will God’s non-believers who have done all good in life have the chance to go to Heaven? Is Heaven only reserved for God’s believers? Is it fair to put non-believers eternally in Hell if their wrongdoing is just in their lifetime? Why should I believe or choose God that is not fair?
Q27: Back to Q2, you said that God is so loving, merciful, forgiving, hearing, seeing and not injustice. But God also seems not loving, merciful and forgiving for punishing some human in Hell. Why do you think God is so? How do you know God is not a liar, jealous or envious?
Q28: What is your message to non-believers of God?
Appendix A
Appendix B
Q0: Before we discuss about God, can you tell us about yourself?
A: I am what I am.
I believe in seeking for the right way with logic, science, and religion but I don’t claim myself to be a philosopher, scientist nor religious scholar.
I believe in seeking for the right way with open mind to be closer to the truth.
I believe the right way is not gambling
, not necessarily the absolute truth but there are net benefits even if I am wrong, not necessarily perfect (as there will be no progress, no improvement with perception of perfection) and the right way will remain right until proven wrong.
I believe the right way is to believe in God. I am here not to preach about religion or to convert people to a religion. I am here to defense God.
I am not a perfect Muslim; I am not representing Islam as my answer might be different. I am continually learning.
Q1: What do you mean by not gambling
?
A: Not gambling, to me is choosing a way when I know it is more likely (if not certainly) to be true that there are net benefits in choosing that way even if I am wrong.
There are net benefits such that:
- If I am right, the benefits will outweigh the burdens and,
- If I am wrong, the benefits of the opportunities seized from the burdens will outweigh,
o any losses (with or without the mitigation, including opportunity loss) and,
o any burdens (including burden of any mitigation work or proactive change of way before time of no return).
Examples of the benefits of the opportunities that can be seized from the burdens that outweigh any losses (excluding safety and health) and burdens are firstly, safety and health benefits. What are those losses, burdens, or even other benefits if we are not safe and healthy (including mental health)? Secondly, records for learning to do better such that tomorrow’s win is more than today’s loss.
On the contrary, gambling is choosing a way when I know it is less likely (if not impossible) to be true that there are net benefits in choosing that way if I am either right or wrong.
Time of no return means the time when the decided way can no longer be changed.
Don’t know
means anything is possible or the probability to be true or false is 50/50. If I know something, but not certainly to be true, either known as more likely or less likely to be true, that is I know
, not I don’t know
.
If I choose a way but
