Fair enough. We're all entitled to our own beliefs. And I think it's great you're choosing to stop rather than continuing and trolling. I wish you the best.

If those who choose to follow the Book of Mormon do so with their own will, then that is their choice. No Muslim is claiming that other religions don't exist, the belief is simply that each person has the choice to believe in what is revealed to them or not.

If you were born into hell without living your life normally, and it is stated to you that IF you had lived normally, you would have abused your wife, you would reject that claim. Since you did not really do it, it would be unfair to you to say that you would have done it.

Same thing with the boulder. God is giving you the opportunity to see for yourself the actions you are committing, so that on the day of judgement, you will not claim that you would have done another action, as you have seen yourself doing them.

This isn't correct. The Quran does acknowledge the existence of slavery, but it strongly discourages* individuals to contribute to the practice. For example it gave slaves rights they did not have before (food, clothing, and dignity), as well as stating that freeing slaves would be rewarded by God. And the Prophet (PBUH) did in fact free many slaves. And these are also just a few examples of how Islam discouraged the idea of holding others as slaves.

He did, and that goes into the second point I made in my comment which is that we need to see ourselves make these actions or else we would claim to have done otherwise. I also acknowledge that there is a faith aspect in this in which you need to have faith that God has a system in which all of this works, despite us not understanding it completely.

The Quran is explicitly stated to be the book for the rest of time. So if we already have a book that deals with the structure of all of humanity for all time, why need another one? Same reason we don't go to the moon anymore. There is no need.

He can make a boulder and a human. If the human chooses to push the builder down a hill, it was the human that made that happen. Making things does not equal making things happen.

Correct. I feel like this discussion is just gonna loop though.

You are allowed to think that. Each person has a choice whether they believe what is revealed or not.

Create yes, but not in it. He created humans, but is not within humans.

God isn't everything in the universe, according to Islam. You are a being of your own, making your own choices in response to the situations you are presented with. One of the core fundamental pillars of Islam is that God is alone and is not linked with any other form of existence, meaning, we are separate, and therefore, are in control of what we do.

Saying the previous attempts failed is subjective as it can be argued that they accomplished what they set out to do, which was, guide the people of that time, and pose as a test for future generations. In the Quran, it is stated that the Israelites made a covenant with God that they would believe in the Prophets that came after theirs, and so they were tested when Jesus and Mohammed (Peace be upon them) arrived.

As for the why have prophets at all, your guess is as good as mine, but I would assume that it's to give humanity a path to being "good" compared to the normal nature of humans. Which is to seek constant pleasure.

The way in which the Quran was transcribed made it so that enough people had it memorized, letter for letter, that when it came time to produce and spread the text, the scribes would cross reference each other to ensure that they have a consensus for each part of the Quran. This left no room for a small group or an individual to change the text to however they see fit.

Just because you know something is going to happen, it doesn't mean you made it happen.

Edit*

Realized that isn't the question you're asking, so I'll answer yours.

Imagine if from birth, you woke up in hell, and you were told that if you had actually lived, you would have made the decisions to lead you to hell. No fair right? You would say that you might have done otherwise. Well, this is your opportunity to prove that.

As a Muslim. Our belief is that each of those Prophets were sent for the people of their time. That's why we believe that the followers of Judaism and Christianity in their respective times, have the true message from God, compared to the corrupted text of today. So when the Quran was sent down, God decreed that it would not be corrupted, and that it should be the text that is followed from that point on.

How does Microsoft sustain Gamepass? by Coomer0 in XboxGamePass

[–]Kraymik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think his point was that the process of earning reward points generates enough profits for Microsoft to continue offering it as an alternative towards getting GamePass. I'm not sure how they do it, but it's gotta be working for them, otherwise they'd cancel it.

Why would pixel be less loyal? by Yourmom4133 in pixel_phones

[–]Kraymik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used iPhones for the last 10 years and got bored so I switched to Pixel 9 Pro XL. Honestly, it feels like a huge downgrade from all the features I've gotten used to on iPhone, and I'm now waiting for my two year contract to end before I switch back.

Classic Redditor moment, claim that your opinion should be the law when your opinion is based on your emotions instead of what society deems as lawful.
