a bunch of different people wrote the bible. Who wrote all the other fake religious books. lol

That's not actually true. The Quran was basically just written by Muhammad.  Nobody in their right mind would suggest that God wrote the bible that's actually quite laughable. It is well known who wrote the books of the bible in fact many of the books are named after the person who wrote them in other cases information about who wrote them has been passed down over time.

Did you realise that it's possible for all religions to be made up and also for God to exist?  It is my personaly belief that yes a greater power exists and that the world makes less sense without a greater power than with. Religions have mostly been about humans reaching out to God rather than God reaching out to humans. It's possible for all religion to have a degree of validity.

Yes yes, it was just basically written by Mohamed.  So, a book with Scientific facts no one in that century had a right to know.  Written in a style no one in that age nor in any any other couldn't match.  A book that talks about the origins of the Jewish and Christian religions bringing them back to the way they were before they were changed, fixing the mistakes and contradictions in them at the same time.  A book that shows and understanding of the world far greater than anything else out there at the time. 

 

ALL of that was written by an illiterate merchant who had no formal education or training of any kind.  So, Mohamed knew Hebrew to read the Torah, read the bible, AND THEN translated them both, altered them, changed the style (I emphasise the style because it is truly the greatest-For the sake of argument one of the greatest instead of the greatest-written works of all time) to a style that is COMPLETELY different from his own (an insane amount of his quotes are preserved perfectly till now) all of that in his free time.

 

I'm not going to sit and convince you why I beleive the Muslim religion is true, however, when there are experts that doubt that Shakespear wrote his plays (look it up, it's weird) Why do people just disregard the Quran saying, oh yeah he wrote it, when the impossibility of it is astounding?

 

 

For the sake of the OP......Ouch, I I don't even know what to say to a person like that....The part that confused me the most was when she asked us to think about it.  I think thinking kind of defeats her purpose.

^This.  Me and my father have studied all major religions and though we believe that truth lies in both the Bible and Torah (Sorta) The Quran is viewed as the definitve version of the holy book. 

Not to mention all the reference to ancient languages that couldn't have possibly been known.  (The discovery of the Rosetta stone was centuries afterwards)

And as a Muslim, I believe that God exists in all of us, even in the ancient Greeks and roman with their satirical beliefs .
