finofaya: Okies. asalimpo:the Coc isnt a religion or part of a religious system because it isnt comprehensive. It is not part of a singular comprehensive/broad system tht commands /instructs on major issues of life. Its scope of applicability is limited. It doesnt cover all workers or work situations. It is a more volatile and temporary system that a religious system. Religious systems dont exclude creation of non-religious/smaller subsystems . A religious system is a foundation, more smaller subsystems can b built on it. E.g in islam, islamic banking is a money system building on the tenets of islam. Democracy is a subsystem building on hybrid foundations of christianity and atheism. All prescriptive subsystems, build on (but dont extend) religious systems. Russian government is built on atheism. Communism/socialism as a philosophy builds on atheism. Eventually all government bcome religious and hav to deal with the issue of God. E.g China, killing christians /banning christian meetings. |

logicboy01: 1) Religion has failed Nigeria Religion has failed you not nigeria, An unbelief in God is not the reason why europe and china or any other country progresses; technologically they are advanced, Internet does not teach you everything, you need to experience some life lessons, pains, love, frustration, hunger, prison, death etc. God is self Evident. |

urheme: Religion has failed Nigeria. Our pastors are hypocrite adulterers, tithe scammers and frauds. Government had to order churches not to try ebola miracle healings. We have boko haram and Almajiris destroying the north. Religious preachers preaching ignorance from the pulpit. Politicians stealing and plundering, yet offered the front seat at churches. Actually, Europe has progressed beyond God. When the European saw the Ebola, they made protocols to prevent an epidemic. Fools in Nigeria were busy praying and paying tithes until it spread from Liberia. God is not self evident. The sun itself is self evident- no one argues that the sun doesnt exists. 13 Likes |

ifeness:Why not try doing doing business with me and find out. I still say it again that mind is everything and that you become what you think. You become an athiest when you think there is no God and same goes to the Muslim who think that Muhammad is their Allah messenger. For me I think that Christ is the son of God and that has automatically made me a christain . |

logicboy01: taking God outta the question and replacing him with chance is mor unreasonable. Why is there a sun to warm the earth in the first place? Earth to b inhaitable needs light and warmth and a sun just happened to *mistakenly* be made from nothing! Why does the earth rotate around the sun? - so tht all sides of the earth are adequately warmed. *why doesnt it mistakenly malfunction and just for a day stop spinning* *a mistake made the earth and a mistake keeps it working perfectly!* why is there an ozone layer over the earth? *though its fast being ruined by man* a * mistake created earth, then created a protective layer to shield it from the sun's uv rays! * Why did the sun appear before the earth? Mistakes by nature are disorderly ,yet the logical thing wouldve been as it turned out: light before planets. *how did chance get this right on the first try?* |

You breath air from the environment, you don,t know the shape, colour and size of the oxygen you breath, physically, you can't it catch it with bare hands but you feel it because you are alive. logicboy01: So your line of argument is that the sun exist because i see light, the blind man cannot see it but can feel it You can also tell me that air does not exist because you can neither see nor touch it. You have faith in things that you have not phisically seen because some scientist told you that such a thing exist. Nobody can show you God, and you can only convience your self that there is God or not,look within your self and decide |

They come and go like serious downpours but old earth still keeps rolling!. If d earth is a mistaken creation, then over and over again it should collapse into choas and be naturally unstable. It shouldnt b resilient and sturdy like a battle tank. The oceans should overflow their banks and wipe out all life (afterall,ocean mass is greater than land mass). Molten lava from the core of the earth should erupt all over the world and roast the surface to ashes. Orderliness should b the exception not otherwise! If the earth and the planets emerged from a mistake, how come it operates more orderly and punctually than intelligent human systems? How can a mistake be smarter than man? *the sun rises at a set time, the seasons are punctual year by year, night fall comes at a set time . Gravity isnt flippant. Compare to consistency of human organisations? Those tht ar consistent learned to b after lots of trial and error. But chance got it right the firsr time!* |

logicboy01: I won't argue with you about a lot of scamming being carried out in the name of God in Nigeria. However, your argument is faulty when you make a comparison between Europe and Africa and blame God for the disparity in response to the Ebola outbreak. We Africans are reaping what we sow. The inability to fight corruption, the lack of serious conviction to improve society, our collective cowardice to initiate revolution, etc. That's the difference. To address your other point about Europe moving beyond God. Yes, Europe is largely secular now, but Europe's situation today didn't happen today did it? As we all know, Europe was built on a Judeo-Christian foundation. Secularism cannot now take the credit and I hope you were not implying that. Moreover, when Europe wasn't secular, did that stop them from making advances that improved quality of life? The answer is No. In fact, in all areas of life, from art to music to medicine, etc, people were making advances as a result of their service and devotion to God. 1 Like |

plaetton: I really don't think that anyone believes in god, especially the people who claim and shout that they do, such as the op. You're right. Muslims at least act like they believe though. I mean, if I had evidence of a God, I too would do as told. |
