You go to the Religion and Philosophy subforum where that thread is listed.
On the right side you can see the number of posts and the number of views.

OK. Emre_1974tr has totally convinced me with his posts here. I have now converted to Islam (just as Allah knew I would).




What happens next?

You kill some infidels by blowing yourself up in their midst and get to hump 72 virgins in paradise?

Ah yes, the mythical "silent viewers", who always agree with the one person who everyone actually posting disagrees with.

For the record : I read this thread regularly. De-lurking now to let you know I find your ideas and theology worthy of ridicule, and in no way support them.

Many of those views could be me, checking in on other posters but not having a comment to make. I admit I visit here a lot.

See ‘Raisins,’ not ‘Virgins,’ Quran scholars say

Translation error.

All polytheistic religions, from Hinduism to New Age religion, worship many gods as a reflection or manifestation of the one God. Christianity has the same pagan doctrine. In fact, it is in itself a pantheistic philosophy.

As it is stated in the Holy Qur'an, the elite hid the Torah and the Gospel, they only shared some of its pages with humanity. So we don't have the Injeel or the Torah now.

And unfortunately, the people had to adopt the hadith books like Barnabas, Enoch, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, which were written by human beings, that is to say fake books, as Gospels. There are many more fake Gospels. But the pagan religious leaders adopted four of them and deceived people with these books. Whatever Bukhari or Tırmizi books are, these are the same. They are hadith books. Bible is not Torah or Injeel.

But some Christians, in spite of these pagan false books, realized that the belief in the trinity was a heresy and fought against this heresy. Because with the revelation inherent in their genes, man is inclined towards the truth. As long as he keeps his heart pure.(unitarians)

****

Almost all polytheistic religions have the same trap, that the demons are making them adopt the lie that there are multiple reflections of one God.

Hindus also think that they believe in one God, pantheists also, Christians also. They have been made to believe that the one God is manifested in different ways. From Indian religions to Far Eastern religions, they all have the same fallacy. People who worship idols actually believe in one God. All idols are manifestations or parts of the original God in paganism. Hindus or other idol worshippers say the same thing. So they have exactly the same belief as the lie they are being fed.

Satan cannot make people polytheists directly, for the most part. Because there is true knowledge/revelation in the genes of human beings and people innately know that there is only one God. That's why Satan insidiously makes people polytheistic. He says that the one God manifests in different ways. And he deceives the pagans mostly in this way. Hindus, Native Americans, Asian pagans, new age believers, Christians think they believe in one God, but in reality they are polytheists. They have associated partners with Allah, so you are in shirk.

Hindus "333 in 1"

Christians "3 in 1".

Pantheists "everything in 1"

New Agers "we are in 1"

This is paganism.

Yes, everyone is well aware of Islam's accusations against Christianity on the subject of monotheism. We're mostly atheists here. We don't care.

You just made that up. None of it is even remotely correct. It's just nonsense.

Emre,

I have never seen an explanation demonstrating why one god is better than multiple gods.

Strictly speaking you believe in two gods also because you believe in Satan.

A unicycle is considered a means of transport. A two-wheel bicycle is a little easier to ride. A four-wheel car is better still. But a 34-wheel B-double truck rides over everything in its path!

Raisins and virgins again? Kinda think those solemn British Arabists failed us here, and did the Qran a small injustice. Confusing "grape" and "raisin" is old stuff in 19th century English.

But calling virgins grapes is just a bit of leering Arab poetry; the gynecological reasons are obvious. So everybody knew what the hadith was saying, and you can see why a horny Muslim fundy might be motivated by the idea.

"Hamid my brother, I shall devour the [smirk] grapes of paradise!"

"But Jaffar, my dear, why should you martyr and leave me behind?"

"Well, actually, it's your behind that's the problem. I grow weary of creeping into the same tent each night."

"By Allah, it is not well! Go with a thousand and one kisses, and may the Prophet bless your detonator!"

Am I in the picture, Emre? I didn't want to be silent too often.

I will do everything in my power to help you in this dark journey you have fallen into and to guide you towards the light. Insha'Allah, I will save you from the swamp of Christianity and continue to guide you to Islam, the true and only religion of God.

It is so strange reading your posts Emre. The beliefs you profess are not unlike the ideas that different sects of Christianity have about the other Christian sects. You, like them want to teach them the errors of their beliefs.

Out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about other Muslim sects? Do you also try and correct Sunni or Shia or Sufi or other sects?

Do you live in Bursa? Last I heard, you lived in Zeytinli, near Akcay. Have you moved house?

As to preaching Allah to us, even though most of us on this forum are not Christians, please go ahead.

Of course, most of my articles, videos and tweets in Turkish criticise Islamic sects and tell them about the true Islam in the Quran. Sufism, on the other hand, is the Trojan horse of spiritualism, and I specifically deal with them as well.
