I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, 'I agree with you.' Then you go home, pray what you want. This is my idea for people to have peace about religion. Elizabeth Gilbert
About This Quote

In this quote, Muhammad Asad said, “I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, 'I agree with you.' Then you go home, pray what you want.

This is my idea for people to have peace about religion." This was a suggestion to people who find themselves arguing over religion. If a person believes there is a god then there must be proof that there is a god. There must be proof that the person talking about their god is telling the truth.

If you ask a Muslim why they believe in Allah then they will tell you it's because "Allah knows best". If you ask a Christian why they believe in Christ then they will tell you it's because "Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead." But if you ask an Atheist why they believe their god doesn't exist then they will tell you it's because "It's just a myth and we don't know who or what made it up." When we say there is no god we are not saying that we don't believe in gods but instead we are saying that we don't believe in your god.
