You: well

Stranger: So do the world a favor and spread the message of Tupac...

Stranger: he was a great person

Stranger: God bless his soul

You: you should know that i'm an atheist

Stranger: Trust me

You: so this is rather weird to me

Stranger: there is a God

Stranger: on single creator

You: many people said that, no one ever brought any evidence

You: so

Stranger: can you see your brain

You: well

You: i can open up a skull

You: and then see it

Stranger: well if you open up your heart...you will see God

Stranger: God is in everything

Stranger: he made your brain

You: you are a christian am i right?

Stranger: No.

Stranger: I am a beliver and dont place a name on myself

You: so in what do you believe

Stranger: That there is a God

Stranger: and he has sent 'prophets' to guide us

Stranger: but some people dont belive

Stranger: even though you will land in Hell

You: I have a lot of questions right now before i can give you an answer...You believe in hell? WHy?

Stranger: Because. It has been mentioned in the three Holy Books

You: You are refering to the thora, the new testament and the coran (don't know how to write it in english)

You: ?

Stranger: Want to know my 'religion'?

Stranger: Muslim.

You: i

You: dont

Stranger: and Yes

You: have

You: a

You: problem with that

Stranger: why would you

You: i know many americans do but i would love to continue this discussion if you want

Stranger: I live here and i am oppressed every day

Stranger: all 'americans' think about it money and their stomaches to tell you the truth

You: the majority yes

You: As a german with knowledge about the horrible past of my country i can only say: It is a crime to humanity too opress people for their beliefs

Stranger: Do you know what 'Zionism' is

You: many meanings could you define it for me?

Stranger: a zionist is a jew who uses the past to oppress people in the future

Stranger: Israel is 'oppressing' Palistine

Stranger: my people

Stranger: are being persecuted

Stranger: their children are being totured

Stranger: and shot

You: this is another debate which is rather complicated

Stranger: its hitlers fault

Stranger: and the last thing i want to tell you

Stranger: is

You: i suppose there are many views on that and to be honest i dont know enough to verify your information

Stranger: The usa has a prison in Cuba called guantanamo bay

You: i know that

Stranger: they take innocent people from

You: that is just fucked up

Stranger: the middle east and torture them

You: they ignore their fucking own constitution

Stranger: yes

You: i agree that guantanamo is hell on earth

Stranger: 'right to trial"

You: and it is beyond any law

Stranger: yes

Stranger: but this new president isnt stopping it

You: i hoped he would

Stranger: because he is a puppet

You: obama promised a lot he didn't do

Stranger: he is under somone elses control

You: could we return to our initial discussion because i have to go quite soon but i would love to continue it

Stranger: which one?

You: religion

Stranger: ok

Stranger: just take my word for it

Stranger: there is a God

Stranger: I promise

You: wait a moment

Stranger: dont explain the creation of everything ith science

You: nono

You: just the following

You: how did you become a muslim?

Stranger: Prison

You: what where you before?

Stranger: a stupid kid who didnt care about anything

You: did you believe in a god then?

Stranger: no

You: this is highly interesting, to be honest you might be the most intresting religious person i ever met

You: why did you decide to become a muslim and not a hindu?

Stranger: because there is one God

You: or a christian

Stranger: and he has no son

You: how do you know that=

Stranger: His books clearly say it

You: god's book, the coran you mean?

Stranger: The three we mentioned earlier

You: ah okay

Stranger: the bible has been medeled with

Stranger: somewhat

You: pretty much

Stranger: and it uused to include that the flesh of swine should not be consumed and neither should alcohl

You: there a whole gospels missing others are like they were written on LSD

You: so how do you know the coran is the book of god and the hindu version (whatever it is called) is not?

Stranger: There is no 'hindu version'

You: well take any other non abrahamic religious book

You: what is the difference between the coran and those ?

Stranger: the Holy Quran is true

You: because?

Stranger: and it has remained virtually untouched

You: ah Quran is how you write it okay

Stranger: and it matches whith the 2 previous ones

You: would you be willing to join me in a thought experiment?

Stranger: yes

You: so

You: lets say you wanted to "found" a religion

You: and you write a book how this religion looks like, maybe with many other "authors" and you just make up a religion that fits your society

You: now thousands of years later people still read and know this book

You: and they make up another one thats, well a little less brutal and has some new storys

Stranger: i understand so far

You: now another thousand years later a third person wants to found a new religion and he happens to know the other two books. Wouldn't you write your boook so it has resemblance to the others

You: just to get more attention to it?

Stranger: No. Not if the first two are 'made up' and then changed again

You: you wouldn't but another person might... how could you tell after thousands of years if your religion is not just made up and another religion is totally true? how would you tell whos right?

Stranger: One will seem like the Lord's work and the other wont

You: so you thought after studying all religions, the Quran is the word of god and all others are totally made up?

Stranger: no

Stranger: I realized that Islam...being the last religion, must be the best one

Stranger: excuse me, the last ahbramic one

You: what about the non ahbrahamic ones?

Stranger: after it has gained popularity people will start to critisize it and try to make it seem obsolete, when it doesnt fail and it isnt deserted, then you know its the truth

Stranger: they are lies

You: why do you think they are all lies but the quran is not

Stranger: name one that you know

You: Shinto

You: Hidu

You: (buddhism)

You: The greeks belives in Zeus

You: The Romans believe in their somewhat the same zeus

Stranger: There are not multiple gods

You: why?

Stranger: ok there is always one thing controling the other

Stranger: with multiple gods there would be chaos

You: well why that? You can cook with too people why shouldn't two gods be able to handle the universe, after all they are by definition gods :D

You: *two people

Stranger: There can only be ONE

You: But why?

Stranger: Because that is what the one God has said.

You: you are aware that this is a logical fallacy because it is a circular argument? Anyway if you would believe in many gods you would think "there can't be only one god, because the many gods said it"

You: whos right?

Stranger: Sometimes you have to belive.

Stranger: in what your eyes cannot handle

You: yeah but wouldn't you want to believe in the right thing?

Stranger: yes

Stranger: that is the right thing

You: so you should be able to decide whos right

You: so fare

You: *far

You: anything that would make the Quran true could be used as an argument for many other religions

You: yet they believe in partially opposite things.

You: whom should one believe?

Stranger: yes

Stranger: those who speak the truth

Stranger: read the Quran and if you understand it you will know

You: i read parts of it

Stranger: and you can decide from there

Stranger: no

Stranger: the entire thing

You: theres just a problem with that

You: I wont believe a word of it
