Christians, Dont Lie- Have Atheists Made You Rethink Your Religion! Confess! by Nobody: 11:50pm On Dec 20, 2012
I have noticed both on Niaraland and real life that some christians stop using certain theological arguments after debating atheists for a while.


My favourite is Psalm 14;1

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.


This bible quote is now majorly avoided by many christians.



Any confessions on how atheists have changed you?

Now I haven't been on nairaland for long, so I'd say that if they don't quote that verse so often now they must have been quoting it like hell before.

And although I'm not too optimistic regarding acheivements I would like to hear a few.

That scripture came alive on Nairaland. I never really grabbed the gravity of that verse until I started listening to some so called atheist. Right now I think the word FOOL is too light to describe an atheist. That would be an understatement

You are quite ignorant about the fact that you work in an industry shaped by atheists.

One of the atheists said that Francis Bacon was a genius; well, the following statement of the genius Bacon used to be my signature until I 'upgraded' (or 'downgraded'?) to the current one:

I have some old testament quotes for you


Beating a slave

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)


Rapists get married to the victim


(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.





So, when you quote the old testament as wisdom, I just laugh

@ Topic,

Christians have only learnt to be wisely tolerant of atheist and their rants, and that's because Atheist morality is parasitic borrowing from Christian culture

I prefer to use common sense when arguing with atheists. I hardly quote Scripture since in any case few, if any, atheists see merit in it.

I do and I think it's poor reasoning. The Bible is in fact an anthology and it has many parts that are in fact not susceptible to being called mythical.

^^ Historical background of this scripture claim it was written and targeted at folks who oppose the presence of supernatural validations but rather hold onto the limitations of knowledge that the human mind potends.

Logicboy, the 'fool' in that scripture could also mean Christians, muslims and yea everyone.

And this i say because the day any human go beyond questioning 'the things' not well understood, to completely doubting the existence of 'the things' would mean he/she is foolish.

Teacher: More planets exists outside earth

Student: Really? never knew! How can confirm for myself?

Teacher: Yeah you can, but even if you dont, others have and they claim

Student: Well, since i havent seen any, then they dont exist.


Now who seems foolish here? undecided

You are now remixing the bible quote when you realized that it is bigoted? Anyone who doesnt believe in god is an atheist. Simple. Your bible is intolerant of atheists.



As for your teacher and student is a failed analogy.



People can show you planets evidenced by telescopes

People can show you the evidence for evolution; DNA and fossils

People cant show you the evidence for God because there is none! No evidence. You god is just a hypothesis

In fact the Bible hardly refers to atheists. Apart from the famous Psa 14:1 statement no where else does the Bible talk about atheists.

Logicboy03: As for your teacher and student is a failed analogy.

Okay.

Logicboy03: People can show you planets evidenced by telescopes

Yes

Logicboy03: People can show you the evidence for evolution; DNA and fossils

False. Mostly inconclusive circumstantial evidence nobody saw a man emerging from an ape and adduced proofs are just-so stories.

Logicboy03: People cant show you the evidence for God because there is none! No evidence. You god is just a hypothesis


You infer God from Nature. A thing is created by its maker whether itbe man or animal. So also we infer a maker of Nature - God. Or wait did Mr nothing have $ex with Mrs nothing to make Nature ?
