@anonymousunknown533 Just to be sure we under stand each other, I'm an agnostic ateist.
Agnostic as in I have no knowledge of a God existing, and ateist as in I have no faith or hope in a God existing.
(Your pritty much stuck with me declareing "no knowledge" plenty of diskussions derail on that point, I hope this one dosent)
The "worship of desires" I can't really identify with, that sonds like "I rather do heroin than feed the kids" hyperbole.
As stated above, I'm not convinced there is a God.
Okay, the consiusnes bit is most interesting.
Ouer bodys consists of matter and use energy derived metabolism to feule its different functions, breatheing, movement etc, and this inklude the brain and the nervous system.
This is nothing contoversial, if you propose that ther is somthing ells, Im happy to hear your case.
If you wish to continue, I would apriciate a few words on your reason for your believes, you can stay Anonymous and Unknown...
Ps: morally is a big toppic, a can give my viewe if you like.

@anonymousunknown533 Hi again.
(Have you change your youtube handle? Thaut it was somthing ells and hade a hard time finding the conversation???)
I will try to structure this message with numbers, multi toppic conversation can become hard to follow and youtube comments aint optimal.
1. Corruption.
2. Living standards.
1.
You wrote about corruption and living standards in the Gulf states.
As for corruption, that is something that is inherently hard to measure.
Wikipedia's article on corruption talks about methodology, correlation, etc.
Almost as hard and boring to read as the violent crime article.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index
Examples, least to most corrupt:
01. Denmark
05. Sweden
18. United Kingdom
54. Saudi Arabia
180. Somalia
All countries with a predominantly muslim population fall short of western europe.
"Living standard" is a hard, if not impossible to measur on it's own so I will use:
1. life expectancy.
2. Infant and under-five mortality rates.
List of countries by life expectancy
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy
All Male Female
01. Japan A.84 M.81 F.87
11. Sweden A.82 M.80 F.84
30. United Kingdom A.80 M.79 F.82
61. Saudi Arabia A.76 M.74 F.77.
195. Chad A.52 M.51 F.54
List of countries by infant and under-five mortality rates
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_infant_and_under-five_mortality_rates
Under-five mortality from the World Bank
2020 mortality rate, under-5 (per 1000 live births)
Sweden 2.6
United Kingdom 4.2
Saudi Arabia 7.0
Looking at the world of today it should be clear for anyone to se that Islam fail to produce the foundations for thriveing humans and oil is today the sol sorsele of material welth as it historicly was war, slavery and taxation on trade between Europ and East Asia.
As for the prophecies, I disagree with the conclusion that these hadiths prove the truthfulness of the prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad or that they provide evidence for accepting Islam.
Firstly, the hadith you cited can be interpreted in various ways, and it is not necessarily a prophecy of future events. It could be referring to events that have already occurred, or it could be a metaphorical description of the state of the Muslim community at any given time.
Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when interpreting religious texts and not to take them out of context.
Secondly, even if we assume that these hadiths are indeed prophetic, it does not necessarily mean that they are true.
Prophecies can be self-fulfilling or vague enough to be interpreted in multiple ways, and it is possible for people to selectively interpret events to fit their preconceived notions of prophecy.
Lastly, accepting Islam or any religion based solely on prophecies is not a sound logical argument.
There are numerous religions and belief systems that claim to have prophetic texts and events, and it is impossible to accept all of them as true.
Therefore, it is important to base one's belief on a combination of rational inquiry, personal experience, and guidance of others expectance.
In conclusion, while I respect your right to hold your own beliefs, I do not find the hadiths you cited as proof of the truthfulness of the prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad or a compelling argument for accepting Islam, and because of Islams failure to produce the foundations for thriveing humans I will continue to argue against it.
