i will tell you now that i dont think God has ever talked to me but i used to think he did.

i talk to god

does he talk back?

i wouldn't say talk.... more respond

Yes I talk to God by praying. God talks to me when I read the Quran.

when i read a book the author isn't talking to me so i take it you mean he talks to you in an original way each time... other wise your just reading ahmed.

No. Technically he is talking to you.

For example, you are reading my writing right now. But I'm still talking to you.

but we are interacting. the book will never change, it always says the same thing so he isn't talking. It's just words.

The book told you everything you need to know. That's why Islam is a way of life.

but its not talking, thats my point. it is only talking if it is active.

you don't talk with an encyclopaedia or a dictionary.

so do you talk with God?

Yes it is talking. What is the point of talking at all? It is to communicate. So yes God does talk to me

ok, im going to go talk to the phone book.

talking is a 2 way process, what if you needed an answer to a specific problem? Something which is unclear in the book? Would god convince you it was the right answer when you found it?

That's my point. The Qur'an has everything. Any problems that could ever rise in your lifetime.

^^ agreed

that's not possible. does it talk about contact with aliens? whether to buy German or Chinese underwear?

"that's not possible. does it talk about contact with aliens? whether to buy German or Chinese underwear?"

No it doesn't talk about aliens as there are none. Also no it doesn't tell you because that's up to you, those are trivial concerns.

aliens could be real, would you renounce islam if aliens came to earth?

I don't know. Ask a scholar. But for all I know, there are no aliens.

no i am asking you. aliens would disprove god wouldn't they?

So would you renounce it?

No they wouldn't. It would just mean they weren't mentioned in the Qur'an.

Dude, I suggest you read the book the Chariot of the Gods.

Yes, I do talk to God most of the time. When I'm happy, acomplishment, or sad, disappointment, I always talk to Him. Although I never feel God talks back to me, I feel Him does listen to what I'm saying.

I would say it is possible to speak to God (i.e., via praying) but it is God who has left his manifest signs in the earth and universe as pointing towards his Ultimate Reality (not merely his existence, but also his impeccable attributes, the personal attributes are a much deeper theological discussion though). He will not directly speak to us, but we would know for sure he exists and that by examining the claims of divine reveltaion (that God has actually communiated to us humans at times in history) is a vital research that could lead to belief in these scriptures and that would expose God's own words being brought upon us. This is the only possible communication from God you'll ever find in your life. And these lucky mediaters between God and man would hence be the prophets themselves.

does anyone know why there are no more prophets? Mohammed (pbuh) said he was the last one. but why?

because everyone wants the last word.
