1. I leant that Nigerian Atheism isn't as free minded as I thought.

Most of u atheist have nothing new, u only relay wat ur Asian, European and American masters have said.

2. Pagans are not enough in on NL or even in Nigeria. We need more people coming back to the ways of their ancestors.
Note: paganism is not about worship.

3. Christians are brainwashed to think Israel's God is their God, they forget their ancestors and don't know their history trying to trace their origin to Israel

4. Muslims are worse group of religiously affiliated people. They are simply Arab slaves, should be cast out of society and given free one way ticket to Saudi Arabia

The analogy you gave doesn't really follow because you were talking about a forum dedicated to FSM. This forum isn't dedicated to Yahweh. So, the analogy doesn't follow.

Actually, FSM does not refer to Yahweh alone. It represents any religious deity from sango to Buddha. This is a forum dedicated to religious deities, and correct me if I am wrong, you guys believe in none. You don't even concede they may exist, and you think we are all just a bunch of mental cases.

So it begs the question - what are you guys doing here? angry angry

Buddha is not a deity.

Yes.

Except Israel's God's missionaries came to our shores, tore down the shrines of our gods, destroyed their alters and abolished their worship - and our gods stood by and did absolutely nothing!

Where was Sango's fabled thunderbolts, or amadioha's mighty wrath etc.?

We were not brainwashed, we only chose to side with the greater power... grin

No, the forum isn't dedicated to religious deities. Its dedicated to religion as a whole.

I learned that there is a pretty diverse group of people in this section, and I have grown to love them all. This is not in spite of our differences. It is because of them. My year has been made all the better for knowing my new friends here. It's been quite a ride. Thanks to all those who have welcomed me. The blessings just keep coming. My cup runneth over. smiley

Not what we believe to be the truth but what we know is the truth.

And just how will you do that? You need someone most times to tell you what you don't know.

I've learnt that being religious and being spiritual are two very different things. I've learnt that atheists are a very confused bunch. I've also learnt that love is what has kept the world from imploding.

I have also realised that so many people need deliverance from the spirit of NL.

First of all it's stupiid to refer to ur God wit a "g" and "G" to another God.

This shows how extremely brainwashed u are.

So it's a waste thinking of a reply for u, because u can never get it

God defeated them all, which shows he is the bigger God, so he gets to keep the big "G".

Well, you gotta admit that it's pretty ominous the way them missionaries came, declared them powerless - and went ahead to back up their claims by destroying their shrines and alters...

If amadioha had roasted the first missionary who came near his shrine with fire, do you think our forefathers will have turned to worship God?

Do you know how many people have tried to abolish christianity? Well, God didn't just sit up there and do nothing wink

smiley the Jews were carried into Babylon like bag of beans, Hitler murdered their millions, Christians killed in natural disasters, terrorist attacks against Christians.

Now does this mean Yahweh is weak?
Pretty much so.

Amadioha and many of your Alusi don't fight for worshipers. Freedom is paganism.

That's why we don't evangelize in the first place. We don't need evangelism, every sensible human being should live with his consciousness that is linked with his identity. You reject ur identity u can't be a pagan.

Paganism is not about worship
It is the tribal way

The babylon thing was as a result of their sins. They were warned a few million times, and failed to take heed. Forewarned, forearmed. Babylon wasn't the first nation to attack them, were they? The same God had protected them every other time and defeated their enemies in outrageous ways before. Wasn't his fault they refused to listen that time...

macof: Hitler murdered their millions

And where is Hitler now? He lived to a ripe full age and enjoyed a peaceful, prosperous life? He didn't murder himself also and is not currently chilling out in hell?

macof: Christians killed in natural disasters, terrorist attacks against Christians.

So what? One way first class ticket to heaven. If you die by choking on a plate of indomie, or in a natural disaster, what does it matter if you get to heaven?

...And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes...

Your God was defeated in Judge 1:19. By ordinary men.

Where was Sango's fabled thunderbolts, or amadioha's mighty wrath etc.?

Do you even know what Sango is? Let me enlighten you. Sango the divinity of lightening is a powerful electric charge that cause thunder. Maybe you are in another planet and doesn't know the benefit of lightening.

• Lightning, as best modern science understand, is a channel of electrical charge. (the personified Sango is electrical charge)

• Thunder is a direct result of lightning. (the effect of Sango)

• Lightning can have 100 million to 1 billion volts, and contains billions of watts.

• The earth benefits from lightning in several ways. First, lightning helps the Earth maintain electrical balance. The Earth is recharged by thunderstorms. The Earth's surface and the atmosphere conduct electricity easily. Thunderstorms help transfer the negative charges back to Earth (lightning is generally negatively charged). Without thunderstorms and lightning, the earth-atmosphere electrical balance would disappear in 5 minutes. Lightning also makes ozone-producing chemicals. (can Yahweh perform like this? Sango balance planet earth from been lost in the space.)

• One benefit of electricity to the human body that most people aren't aware of is stimulation of bone density/growth. Electrical current is involved in the function of all the nerves of the body. (Sango make you alive today. You can stop the electric pulse in your system so that your heart stop beating....also your brain can have electric shock so that you begin early epilepsy.)

Only if you know that spirituality is different from religion. Yahweh is the god of the hills.... Nature force or Deities are needed to manifest and manipulated for the benefit of nature.

result of their a sins or blessings from the God of Babylon.

But true communities do suffer for their sins.

Like Africa is suffering for it's sins...this is why we must seek atonement with the God of our fathers house

Die before achieving ur primal goals in life is nothing compared to living ur life to it's fullest. Heaven is not running away

this life is were they would all come back to finish their mission

No wonder Muslims do suicide bombing undecided
