Logicboy03: Yes but Zeus wasn't the Creator. It was his father Cronos and his mother Gaia. Why you dey fear. I was cool with Ifa worship. I particularly loved the guinea fowl meat we used to eat after every sacrifice. 1 Like |

Kay 17: The true God is not unquestionable, a mystery or beyond reason. People wrapped him in that cloak throughout history but He sent his Son to correct that anomaly. The books of Habbakuk and Job in the Bible chronicle the experiences of people that questioned God - and these men were not struck dead for doing so. God is not beyond reason. We human beings all have an innate desire to worship something - its something we cannot deny because we were wired up that way. Some have satisfied this desire with the worship of knowledge, material things, intellect and even self. But the God phenomenon cannot be reasoned away - even though its hard to wrap our minds around it, it is part of us anyway. 2 Likes |

plaetton: Err... guy, I didn't get my knowledge from stone-age (huh?!) cave dwellers etc. God inspired several men to write the bible, MAJORITY of which were learned and didn't fall into any of the primitive categories you listed. And even if they did, they were inspired of God. Your god evolves? Okay, aren't you bothered it could someday evolve into Hitler or something spooky? On your last point, I really don't know. But there's a good chance. Like I said before, it is strongly advisable that you take another good look at Christ before you conclude. 1 Like |

mollie12: Yes, we have an innate desire to make sense of our existence and understand our place in the universe. Therefore, this so-called innate desire to worship something is nothing but an innate desire for understanding, an innate desire for self-validation. Creating a god to cap that desire is instinctive. that is why god is omni this and omni that. that omniness seem to offer safety and assurance by filling all the gaps in a mysterious and little understood universe. So, long before we formulated a coherent system of observation, experimentation and analysis as the means of understanding the universe, the humans of far antiquity opted for a simplified way of viewing existence and the universe. They answered the questions of existence by creating a creator, a supreme being imbued with our highest ideals and characteristics. The belief in God is simply a filling of a knowledge gap. 1 Like |

mollie12: Christianity has fatal flaws by claiming a perfect creator with a broken will and creation. The necessity of Jesus is weakness of the god. The need for a saviour diminishes the almighty. |

mollie12: An what makes you think that the books I quoted, written by academic dons, were not inspired by this god? So God inspires stone-aged cave dwellers,tent dwellers and sheep herders, but does not inspire, and perhaps hates, Ivy league dons, jesuit priests and reknowed journalists? If you prefer to know the mysteries of existence through the minds of stone-aged sheep herders,well, good luck to you. |

mollie12: The ultimate authority of Christianity rests on you. The Bible's justification is found in your unfounded belief that its inspired by god |

mollie12: And how did christ come in to this picture. I thought we were talking about god. Do you know what christ is? I am very very sure you do not. And by the way, I did find Jesus too, and when I looked harder, I also found the Christ. So I am somewhat satisfied, I have found god, found Jesus and found the Christ. Thats why I became an atheist, a pantheistic atheist. |

plaetton, your level of confusion has passed me oh, I have to leave you to God, seriously! Academic dons formed part of the people that wrote the Bible. Luke was a historian, Paul was a former Pharisee, one of the OT writers was a scribe - THESE WERE THE INTELLECTUAL PROFESSIONS OF THEIR DAY! I don't know where you got the idea that God hates academics. WHAT DID YOU SAY CHRIST IS?!? My brother, I beg you, please run FAR AWAY from that deceptive doctrine of the New Age Christ. The Christ you make reference to is an imposter. The REAL Christ is the son of God revealed in the Holy Bible. The end of intellectualism without God is a deep dark terrible tunnel, though the path trail may look very tempting, whispering its empty promises of superiority and possession of the deepest level of wisdom. Please run away from deception. 'There is no knowledge, or wisdom, or counsel, against the Lord'. Anything that is masquerading as such is simply foolishness. That's all I can say. 1 Like |

mollie12: plaetton, your level of confusion has passed me oh, I have to leave you to God, seriously! Yet Christianity hasn't been able to have such an intellectual impact/force. It comes across as ill prepared, poorly conceived and stupi.d. (Not saying Christians are stupid). It seems to rest on superstition and unjustifiable assumptions. @frosbel Demons contradict and defy the almighty, yet they are free from his Will. |

mollie12: plaetton, your level of confusion has passed me oh, I have to leave you to God, seriously! Thank you sister Mollie! The bolded is why so many christians are being led astray today. False teachers & doctrines; all these are end time prophecies! Scripture says: 1Timothy 4:1-3 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron 3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth 2Corinthians 11:14-15 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. |

Re: Reasons Why Some Christians Converted To Atheism - My Observations On Nairaland by PAGAN9JA(m): 10:59pm On Nov 05, 2012 |
Uyi Iredia: actually there are various interpretations to this. one of them is that Chronos, a.k.a time, is independant of both material and the spiritual world. even the Gods dey fear time because time goes forever forward. CHronos giving birth to Zeus might symbolically mean that even Creation was contained by time, i.e, time preceeded creation. There is similar hypothesis in Hinduism where the great epics begin with the mention and respects paid to eternal forever ongoing time. |
