Having faith is one of the blessings Allah has bestowed on us. And to see you lost in that department ruggedtouch truly allows me to be thankful for that blessing. The beauty of Islam is that it appeals to one's intellect and logic. I pray that one day Allah may bless you with that gift. Its so rewarding, it nourishes your soul and I wisk you well on your soul search... But try to let go of all that anger and bitterness your carrying around. Relax and let it go:)
As Anatole France has said, (and I'll throw in a quote of my own - one that's verifiable) "<i>Just because 50 million people believe a foolish thing, it doesn't mean it's not a foolish thing</i>".
Foolish???? Where are you getting that from? As articulate as you are there must be some sort of sound reasoning in you?!
It is wholly irrelevant, as you know, how many people join a religion or leave a religion. Even if every human being alive embraced Islamic tenets by dawn tomorrow, Islam does not move one step closer to being true than it is now (which is that it is like all theisms, false). Islam falters because it embraces faith, which is totally unnecessary to explain existence, because it requires the specious device of a book to "support" its veracity.
Surely you don't believe that nonsense. Not another rebel without a cause! Wake up and smell the coffee
