This story is translated from Arabic. Please pardon my english
There was this boy who was studying overseas. When he came home to his family, he said he will not follow any religion until someone can answer his three religious questions so he went to an old wise man and asked him:
1. Does god exist? if so, how does he look like?
2. What is destiny?
3. If the devil was made from fire, how will he suffer in hell?
The wise man slapped the boy on his cheek
Boy asked (in pain): Why did you slap me?
Wise man: I've just answered your three questions
Boy: how?
Wise man: what did you feel after I slapped you?
Boy: pain
Wise man: do you think this pain exists?
Boy: yes
Wise man: show it to me
Boy: I can't
Wise man: this answers your first question
Wise man: did you know that I'm going to slap you today
Boy: No
Wise man: this is destiny
Wise man: I slapped you with my hand. What is it made from?
Boy: ashes
Wise man: and what are you made from?
Boy: ashes

Numero Uno: It's an age-old idiom that just because we can't see something exist, doesn't mean that it doesn't. But the same holds true of the opposite; just because we can't see something, doesn't mean that it DOES exist.
Numero Dos: Just because you don't know that something is going to happen, doesn't mean it is 'destiny' in the way you have described it. And destiny has no proof that god does or does not exist.
Numero Tres: You can slap one fabric from another, and get different results. Plus, Where does it say that the 'devil' was made from fire?

I think it is stupid and proves nothing.
Please go to this website and read through the proofs that there is no god, then try again.
And what the hell is that bit about the ashes????

Fate is something that will happen if we continue on the same lazy course. Destiny, my brother, is something me make for
ourselves.
Inshallah!
