While the question of the existence of god as "creator of all things" is a interesting one, anything related to religion can be easily dismissed as a fairy tale or failed philosophy, as the three religions of the book tell virtually nothing about the nature of creation but are more concerned about which "prophet" did what and that mankind should basically blindly follow teachings that cannot be questioned under penalty of death.

"thought provoking piece" ? no Plato is though provoking, Kant is thought provoking. Descartes is thought provoking. Islam and the rest are barbaric and thrive on ignorance, not enlightenment. They are hate pieces that are contextual to the era they were written,not by "a creator" but by men.

But I must admit, Islam is a little more perfect than the other two, as the ethnocentrism of Judaism and the gross absurdity of trinity will not stand that longer. The fact that it tries,however to build up on the other two doesn't save it, from a meta-physical point of view.

Logic teaches us than building something on absurdity only leads to more absurdity.
