Every project that carries a vision to reach people has messengers

Lesson 4 

Every project that carries a vision to reach people has messengers who stop and struggle to convince people. The new anti-God doctrine has prophets who carry it and do not fight for its faith. As we have mentioned, they argue that it is not possible to know the existence of God, so they criticize the prophets and their messengers. In spite of this, according to them, they say that the believer is doing all the evil because of the belief in the religion that they say in the myth. 

But the new anti-Gods are denying themselves that the major conflicts that took place in the world in the last century were not due to religion. The biggest conflicts in World War I and World War II were fueled by politics and irreligion. The communist Soviet Union and the Nazi German government were part of those wars. Both were hostile to religions. 

The new anti-God prophets are four men, who are nicknamed the Four Atheistic Horsemen. The name of the four horsemen is a term mentioned in some Christian scriptures. The men on four horses each have a different color (white, red, black and yellow). The man on the white horse carries an arrow and a quiver. The green horse carries a hangool. All the people in the world are facing destruction. 

These new four horsemen of the anti-God emerged after the events of September 11th. At that time, a part of the western society saw this event as a threat to their lives and the civilization they are leading today. Those four men who are called the prophets of the anti-God message are: 

1) Sam Harris: he is a philosopher, a neurologist born in the United States. He is invited to the country's TV and interviewed about religion, logic, politics, terrorism, ethics, personal autonomy and artificial intelligence. In 2004, he wrote a book called The End of Faith. He criticizes all faith in God. The book is a story about a person who blows himself up on the last day of his life. This book was one of the best selling books. 

2) Daniel Dennett: he is a philosopher, writer, life-study and cognitive scientist. He strongly advocates Charles Darwin's theory of evolutionary evolution. In 2006, he wrote a book called Breaking the Spell. He comments in the book that religion needs to be elaborated as a scientific curriculum. Referring to the change in the growth of the seed (Evolution) of the organism, to use the development of culture. Then look at the possible origins of religion and the subsequent development of modern religions like the early popular beliefs. 

3) Richard Dawkins: is a specialist in biology and ethics. He teaches cognitive science at Oxford University. He is an Englishman born in Nairobi, so he has dual citizenship (English - Kenyan). In 2006, he wrote a book called The God Delusion. This man claims that his book is about the philosophy of religion. He mentioned that the non-religious person is happier, more moral, more balanced, and at the same time he is more satisfied with his ideas than the religious man. They say scientific theories are superior to religious speculation. The God-like Caliph said that he is the healthy mind. 

4)Christopher Hitchens: is a journalist and author with dual citizenship (US - English). In 2007 he wrote a book called God is not Great: How the Religion Poisons Everything. He said in his book that religion is something that clings to people's consciousness, which protects them from the basic fears of life. Especially people's fear of death and disappearing. In one of his writings, he defends an anti-God friend named Suleiman Rushdie, who previously wrote a book called The Satanic Verses. He says that the Abrahamic religions make people sinners. The world says that he would be better off without religion. 

Verse 51 of Surah Al-Kahaf clearly answers the vision of these four horsemen flying. The verse indicates that they were not required to witness when God was designing the technology of creation. At the same time, because of their weakness, they are not needed. Stay away from where the verse is talking about and where they are standing. The verse says:

(مَّا أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا
