Also, I'm not sure my values align with this more mercenary, transactional form of faith. If the gods are no different than mafiosos, what makes them divine?
In Islam polytheism is the greatest sin
I know you're meming, but I'll give this response anyway. In Islam polytheism is the greatest sin. So much so, that you actually are further away from Islam if you're a polytheist (even if Islam is one of your religions) than you would be if you were an atheist.
Also, I'm not sure my values align with this more mercenary, transactional form of faith. If the gods are no different than mafiosos, what makes them divine?Given how this world is designed, its creator cannot be much better. Thats simple truth.
That doesn't mean we cannot be much better. If we have no aspirations or values except power and money -- and if we place nothing above ourselves except the ones who can give them to us -- then we have pretty much abandoned good for evil. Agree or disagree?I could be persuaded to accept that the universe is evil, but accepting that I should be evil is another thing entirely.
I didn't say either of the two makes you a Muslim. I said the former incurs more of God's wrath than the latter.So much so, that you actually are further away from Islam if you're a polytheist (even if Islam is one of your religions) than you would be if you were an atheist.
I see the confusion. But no. Even if you identify as Muslim and obey the things said in the Quran, etc. If you are also worshipping other gods other than God, then he will not recognize you as a true Muslim
