Logicboy03: Frosbel, I dont have your time.


good !


You can keep claiming that catholics are not christians

There are Catholics who are Christians through the born again experience, these ones are only staying behind to try and reform the church from within , which imho is mission impossible.

and that I was never a christian but you end up looking foolish.

I can only base my conclusion on your knowledgeability of scripture which to be honest is zilch, I mean even the basics you do not understand and yet you keep boasting about your 22 year experience as a Christian, you were never one . Try again !

Why should your sect of christianity be true? Christianity has been around for 2,000 years. Your church has not even been around for a quarter of that time.

The church has been around for over 4000 years , go figure !


A kingdom divided against itself can not prosper. Irreligion is the fastest growing religion in the world.

the catholic church is a kingdom in it's own right , but has nothing to do with the spiritual kingdom of Christ.

besides irreligion is growing only in specific sections of western society, for example , in England most people still believe in GOD , same goes for other European countries, they just do not practice the art of church going , then we talk of eastern Europe , Africa , Asia and the Middle East where Christianity is actually rocketing , with huge numbers coming to know the lord.

That's what happens when you base you stats on unproven data sourced from Wikipedia, try a more reliable source , at least you can afford £5 a month and use Britannia Encyclopedia , no?

This is how I know that you are very dull.

1) Christianity is dying in the UK and you are mentioning England? You mad? Furthermore, most British are actually irreligious

They prefer to use the British Social Attitudes survey, carried out annually by the National Centre for Social Research, which paints a picture of a less-religious country, with 51% describing themselves as non-religious and 43% as Christian
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12507319

2) You claim christianity is grwoing in Asia, you might want to rethink how much christianity is growing compared to irreligionn in countries like China, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.

3) The middle east and Africa are the only place that religion is growing steadily. If this is not a sign that religion is for the dregs of society or for the poor and most hostile regions on earth

4) You mention Eastern Europe as a place for growing christianity/religion. I would like for you to explain Ukraine,Russia, Check republic and bulgaria and how religion is growing in these countries.

You obviously do not know the difference between being non-religious and atheism.

For example there are many people who believe in GOD or some intelligent force but reject religion, they would rather worship GOD or believe in this intelligent force in their own little way.

Also the data suggests that 43% of people are Christians which is still a high number , if you add both the religious and non-religious GOD believers, we are approaching almost 80%



Eurobarometer Poll 2005
United Kingdom
Belief in a god 38%
Belief in a spirit or life force 40%
Belief in neither a spirit,god, nor life force 20%


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism

2) You claim christianity is grwoing in Asia, you might want to rethink how much christianity is growing compared to irreligionn in countries like China, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.

They are , it is a known fact, do your research.

3) The middle east and Africa are the only place that religion is growing steadily. If this is not a sign that religion is for the dregs of society or for the poor and most hostile regions on earth

Fail again.

4) You mention Eastern Europe as a place for growing christianity/religion. I would like for you to explain Ukraine,Russia, Check republic and bulgaria and how religion is growing in these countries.


The Christian population has been rocketing ever since atheism communism was destroyed and rightly so !

Atheists are clowns for exposing the nonsense your religion perpetrates or your are just a senseless clown that attacks atheists thinking you are serving the purpose of your imaginary friend?

Cos you are not making sense at all.

- Frosbel, 2013


I agree with you, albeit partially. What we know about God comes from religion and if there is no christianity or islam, there wont be Yahweh or Allah and if probably there is a true Creator-God, i'm sure he wont be either Yahweh or Allah who freaks out and send people to hell simply for their unbelief in him.

Like I said earlier, such a god (yahweh/allah) with insecure ego could never have been the one who created this universe, assuming this universe was created in the first place.

You are a real dummy. You readily assume that I do not know why I chose to say "irreligion"? So, I dont know the difference between atheism and irreligion?

You are a real arrogant person.


See, atheists do not have a problem with agnostics or deists. An irreligious theist doesnt carry the dogmatic baggage of a religious theist.



Now, that we have settled that you are trying to runaway from the fact that the UK is more irreligious than christian, you can kindly enjoy your butthurt

same thing, you can be irreligious and still believe in GOD. Stop hyperventilating, slow down and think.

Irreligion may even include forms of theism depending on the religious context it is defined against, as in 18th century Europe where the epitome of irreligion was deism - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion



You are a real arrogant person.

Is that how your parents brought you up, what a shame !

A little diversion. There is some truth to this post sadly, as I fear you're rather stoopid so sophisticated jabs won't work on you. This complicates the scenario, making it a near impossible task to not say something reta.rded, if the aim is to get through to you ie. What's that they say about arguing with f.ools?

Actually, this is why most of the atheists won't bother to address you, but of course you'd be too stoopid to notice. A feat you're managing even now, see? If the aim though is to please myself though, engaging you might be pleasing. Though that depends on how amusing I find you.

So do note, only @logic would normally spend time on your likes. He also has other strange hippie beliefs, like thinking marrying fundies could actually work, or engaging muslims could result in their becoming more reasonable/tolerant. The rest of us just *smh* at such blind optimism. I'm not even sure why he calls you a troll, as that's insulting good and proper trolls. They know what they're doing, you conspicuously don't. You're by default just stoopid, so he's giving them a bad name.

I hope you've kept up. Anyways, you're calling other people clowns, cheddah?

musKeeto: Are the stories over? Is this the point where the Christians/Muslims initiate steps to re-convert their prodigal brothers to their fold? Would logicboy lose his 'disbelief'? Would frosbel, cast off his 'hatred' for the immoral atheists, and be able to distinguish Christ from the church? Will Mohammed be ever disassociated from Islam? Have these stories shaken the faith of the 'spiritually unfulfilled' folks? Which is the true religion? Will muskeeto stop being a punk? And pick up the cross wey im drop since last year?

Lwkmd!!! I seriously doubt muskeeto will stop being a punk. It's his nature tongue
