Get a bible... the definition is there.

This is not an argument as much as it is true. Most of those who claim to have once been christians do not understand what it means outside of merely bearing it as a tag of some sort. Christianity is not merely a religion, it is a personal relationship with Christ.

Exactly the point. Why then are most atheists, who claim all they stand for is a mere disbelief in God, simply fixated on christianity only?

The other thousands never seem to bother them whatsoever. Cue the rehash to the "we were all former christians" trope.



Yawn. See above.

TheBigUrban2:


False.


Even bishops and the present pope disagree on what/who is a christian

Even two pastors in the same church will give you different answers


Even you and your buddy, Anony will give different definitions of "christian"

Forget him abeg. . .He doesn't know what he is saying. . .All the endless back and forth they are constantly engaged in with each other shows that their religion is nothing but a man made idea. . .Ask him and ask Oladegbuu and Italo what a christian is and you will be shocked at their very different replies. . .

mazaje:

LOL!!. . You simply can not say it. . .Every body uses the bible. . .But we all see the result don't we?. . .

I feel that Davidylan is an atheist but just trolling us because too many people from here know him as a christian and he cant afford to come out of the closet


....just like those gay pastors who bash gays.....they are jealous of the gays that are out in the open while they themselves are suppressing their sexuality

davidylan:

Technicians differ on how to repair a car... in this case you refer to the manual... you know, the book written by the car manufacturers themselves.

TheBigUrban2:


Unfortunately, unlike your holy manual, the car manual is

-precise
-easily translated into the major languages- english, spanish, french, mandarin, japanese
- accurate in the sense that it doesnt give contradictory insturctions

davidylan:
and the endless back and forth atheists (who claim there is no God) engage in on a religious section says what about them? their insecurities? If religion is a man-made idea then why are you here?

davidylan:

The bible is precise, easily translated into major languages (infact the bible has been translated into the most number of languages of any existing book ever written) and accurate.

davidylan:

Meh, you're really fishing desperately. It speaks no volumes other than the fact that i am not worried about losing my salvation at any time so answering that question is completely moot as far as i'm concerned. It is a question that is not interested in a fact but in pushing a preconceived point of view.

TheBigUrban2:

lol....coming from the same man who noted problems in the popular KJV translations of the bible.
The bible in Japanese is freaking ridiculous.


As for the accuracy of the bible, it has contradictory instructions...eg turn the other cheek came after "an eye for an eye"

TheBigUrban2:


see dodging.


You must be related to anony

Apatheist:
What is accurate about the earth being 6000yrs old?
What is accurate about mankind coming about by incest?
What is accurate about god condoning slavery?

mazaje:

And you have seen atheist arguing and calling each other names over the lack of belief in god when?. . .Christians disagree, argue and call each other names all the time here on nairaland,that is if they are not arguing with atheist or with muslims many even condemn each other to hell for holding different or contradictory beliefs. .

davidylan:

they are only contradictions because you don't know better. Like i said... the letter killeth...

davidylan:

The letter killeth... if you were genuinely interested in getting answers to your questions then i'm sure you and i can start a thread to address them. But of course, its not answers you want... just the flinging of accusations.

TheBigUrban2:


lol and you know better


Sometimes, I feel that God is an idea made by a foolish man because the people he sends to support him are mostly foolish

Apatheist:
"the letter killeth" That means I can't understand with my "carnal mind", right?

davidylan:

Absolutely.

davidylan:

and you spend so much time whining about this idea of foolish men because? I mean, how many other foolish ideas do you spend time caterwauling about? Surely you have other "wise" things to do no?

TheBigUrban2:



When the proponents of the foolish idea are threatening my safety? Hmmm?

The reetards in the north blowing up things in Allah's name
Or the christian bigot in Nigeria that is ready to ostracise me (or even get me fired from my job) upon learning about my belief

Apatheist: Unfollowing thread.
Davidylan has successfully derailed the topic.

FOLYKAZE: Spiritual Atheism is the absence of belief in the existence of "God", defined as an entity external to the universe that created and rules the universe; but the presence of belief in the existence of "God", defined as the personification of the universe itself.


Traditional atheism does not make any attempt to define exactly what is meant by the term "God" or "Deity"; while spiritual atheism is very specific about it, making it a specialized and discretionary type of atheism. This reflects the different underlying philosophies — atheism actively rejects belief in all possible definitions of the term "God"; while spiritual atheism actively rejects belief in only one very specific definition of the term "God".

davidylan:

If those in the north are blowing you up in allah's name then why are you here? Surely you can find yourself to the islamic section no? You do realize you would be preaching to the choir here.

If christian bigots are ostracizing you then that is an issue for you to deal with among your family and friends... the rest of us are not really concerned as to your faith.
