Does God exist? (William Lane Craig vs Peter Atkins debate) (102 Viewers)

There are no monotheistic gods. God sent over 100k prophets to every corner of the Earth and they all preached about the one single God. Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, Confucius, Socrates, Krishna, Buddha, among others were all prophets of God. Some people strayed from their teachings and created religions that we see today that were never meant to be. Islam completes the teachings of all these prophets and is the final word of God.
Gravity's a theory too but I don't see you talking shit on that.
Why does God kill newborn babies? Sure, we get freedom but what about all the people who never got to feel it? What about all the people who experience the exact opposite of freedom? Is God doing that so we can enjoy ours by seeing how much worse life could be? That's basically ruling by fear.
Do animals also get to go to heaven? Because if not, that's not very nice.

By that logic he could've also sent the Spaghetti Monster to get into the brains of rebellious pre-teens like Claudio.
And I find the Spaghetti Monster's teachings much more agreeable than those of Islam's.

So you're saying I'm not entitled to my opinion? Isn't that the whole point of this thread? Look at the title, it has a question mark ffs 
Get out if you don't wanna have a discussion.

If you delete this i'll msg every single one of them.
This brings up a more complex subject but I'll try to summarize it to answer your question. We're judged by what what do with our lives and in the case of a new born baby that passes away he/she hasn't lived long enough to make any decisions whatsoever so they die sinless. I gather from the second part of your first paragraph that you misunderstood what I said. You're confusing the freedom that man gives vs the freedom God gives which is what I was talking about. People who experience the exact opposite of what of freedom are people who's freedom is taken by man, not by God.
Animals have their own purpose which is different from ours. Also animals don't have souls, so they don't go to the heaven or hell as we do.
I'm not entirely surprised you find the teachings of Spaghetti Monster's teachings to be more agreeable because you're informed on each of them equally...which is pretty much nil.

Do what ever you gotta do to make yourself feel better. You're in here just taking the piss. No one else has gotten an infraction, so much for me being a blind and narrow-minded religious person you free open-minded breath of fresh air.

If we were talking about something being the final word of God... hypothetically, of course... 
Bahaism is much more likely to be this than any of the main three Abrahamic religions... Islam doesn't in the slightest suggest that Krishna and Buddha and Confucius and Socrates were prophets of God. Any interpretation of scripture to suggest this is the case is blatant misrepresentation of what's actually written in the Qu'ran.
Aside from this. Confucius wasn't teaching a religion but a mostly atheistic philosophy... The same could be argued of Buddha. If you read the earliest Buddhist texts, and research things like Anatta (no soul doctrine) from early teachings... Buddhism is basically a philosophy, only in a slightly less dialectical sense than western philosophy.
Now stop talking nonsense and prove that Islam is the final word of God. Please.

It's kinda hard for me to prove to you it's the final word of God if you don't believe in the first
Every prophet served a specific purpose and at times were sent to a specific group of people (e.g. Jesus was sent to the Bani Israil, i.e. the Israelites). Prophet Muhammad was unique in that he was sent for all of mankind and with him the final word of God for all of making was revealed.
