Bring me picture of Allah!
…oh nooooo
thats not allah though, thats muhammad. No muslim believes he is Allah like christians believe Jesua being god himself
You’re right, the details were slightly off, but it still doesn’t change the fact that murdering someone over a cartoon because you think a book said you had to is absolutely unhinged behavior.

Do not dare to draw our prophet Spiderman! You will feel the rage of Spiderman then!
The spiderman scriptures have pictures, so I'm going with that one
Have you ever seen a picture of God? Checkmate theists.
2,000 years later .... Spider-man is now a 100,000 word bible spread across 50 books of the prophets

The Devil infamously appears in Spider-Man.

The Devil is (mostly) canon in the Christian multiverse.

I met Spider-Man at my 8 year old birthday party.
Conclusion: All 3 are real, or I'm not real. Advances in ontology necessary to say with certainty.
Isn't it the same god in the first two as well?
They are the same in a sense the Amazing Spider-Man and the Spectacular Spider-Man are the same.
Bunch of heathens following Ben Reilly /s
The problem is the theology doesn't match, there is no common god of Christians, Jews, and Muslims because Christians believe Jesus is god and divine and neither of the others do meaning their god's identity is different. Christians and Jews believe the Quran contains lies, Muslims and Jews believe the Christian bible contains lies, and Christians and Muslims believe the Jewish bible contains lies. Hell even within each there are sects that believe different things about god, like Christians who believe they are saved by being chosen, by faith alone, or by faith and works. These are unreconcilable differences that change based on their beliefs about their god.
Religions when formed usually branch from an existing religion (e.g. Christianity started as a Jewish apocalyptic cult, Mormon branches from that, etc), but change the theology enough so that the old clergy/church is no longer valid wrt the new faith position.
Trinity beliefs only were established around 400 AD as dominant in Christianity, however to this day there are non-trinitarian Christians. Christians still understand themselves as monotheists and are also considered "people of the book" in Islam, just like Jews are.
Most versions of the bible say that Jesus didn't break with the scripture before, but confirms and expands it. Subsequently Islam does the same, with some corrections, most notably the clear rejection of trinitarianism. The prophet whose story is shown the most in the Quran is Moses.
As far as i can tell from the translations i have read, neither the Bible nor Quran specifically oppose previous scripture.
Trinitarian vs unitarian is a theological difference that requires different definitions and identities of god even if they both use the monotheist label. These are not compatible differences, you would have to believe contradictory beliefs to say one god identity exists and represents both trinitarian and unitarian theologies and is the same god. Just because they share the same name doesn't mean they share the same properties.
The Christian bible disagrees with the Jewish bible unless you apply the Christian apologetic hermeneutics of someone who believes the Christian bible. Instead of saying they're replacing theology they're going to fulfill and expand and enhance, theology+. The anonymously written Christian gospels say Jesus is the messiah but the Jewish bible messianic prophecies say the messiah would be a king who rules on the throne of David that Jesus never did. The Christian bible gospels misquote from the Jewish bible that were not prophecies (born of a virgin vs young girl already pregnant, quoting Zekariah as Jeremiah, etc) because the gospel writers were using a Greek translated version instead of books originally written in Hebrew. It says you don't need to follow the old law and prophets and sacrifices anymore when the Jewish bible says they need to be followed forever. Hell being eternal torture is a clear break from the legacy Jewish dogma.
I'm not educated on the Quran but I'm pretty sure neither Jews nor Christians believe the same theology at Muslims which are derived from their god beliefs, otherwise they would have included the Quran in their bibles too or have books in their dogma about the laws and teachings of Muhammad as a messiah. They can't change the established dogma so they spin up a new religion to change the theology.

Allah is "the god" in Arabic and applies to the Abrahamic religions. Similar to Algebra but also has a contraction with the Al/"the" part.

Oh god, are we doing Reddit Atheism on Lemmy now? This sucks shit
What's more annoying than a Reddit atheist? Paying taxes to support your shit church
I'm not Christian, and don't go to church. I agree that churches shouldn't get tax breaks.
I still think memes like this are deeply, achingly, cringe
What do you mean? This isnt cool anymore? /s
why are internet atheists so embarrassing man... this is literally the same thing as showing a physics book and saying "proof that physics exists" thinking you made an excellent point.
Thing about physics books, you can literally go and prove every single claim in them by yourself, if you have the required technical and intellectual capabilities.
That's why they're fundamentally different to the quran, the bible and Spiderman. Those three consist to a large extent of completely unfalsifiable claims.
that's why it's a stupid way to make the point. the image just says "they believe it because a book exists" which is not true.
also it's one thing to not have respect for religion but you gotta respect the hyphen; it's spider-man.
The image doesn't say "they believe it because a book exists."
The image says "they think the existence of the book is proof of its contents."

You're entirely right, yet also entirely missing the point.
The proof of Physics existing isn't in the book, and no physicist would claim you take what's in the book on faith, nor that it's unquestionable, nor that other books on physics are lies, nor kill/lynch/shun people for studying the universe through other perspectives like chemistry or mathematics or biology.
Asked for proof of Physics, physicists make predictions that can be reliably reproduced, not telling you to read the Physics book harder.
Regardless, everyone is new sometime, why not provide links, a counter argument or anything useful rather than just deriding them? This way you mostly come off as an ass who doesn't understand the argument.
It makes them feel euphoric

This argument fails to account for how I feel. Reading Spiderman makes me want to be a better person.
There is no Spider-Man but Spider-Man, whose truth was revealed to us by the prophet Stan Lee, blessings and peace be upon him
You gotta wait a couple hundred years. It’s like making whiskey

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
