I WONDER WHY?

When I read the Noah's Ark story I wonder why religious people wonder why non-religious people wonder why religious people believe such ridiculous stories!

sonmvayina:


It is a story told to emphasize on the fact that the God that creates is the same God that destroys..

joseph1013:


So how does this action make Yahweh a good god?

sonmvayina:


good, bad, envy, jealousy, etc..are all human attributes, we cannot use such for God...he creates and destroys...we are to use our brain to save ourselves, by thinking of practical ways to do so..

Religion created those stories to control large human populations.

joseph1013:


Please don't take my words for it. Here are verses from the Bible about Yahweh having all these attributes:

God is good:

- "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever" (Psalm 107:1).

All these proves that Yahweh has human emotions.

it is the narrator or diviner or babalawo that is saying that..GOD according to the old testament is not a man..

- "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him" (Psalm 34:.

God is jealous:

- "for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God" (Exodus 34:14).

- "They made Him jealous with strange gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger" (Deuteronomy 32:16)

The Nigerian Church has changed a lot since I resigned my membership.

I hear that Nigerian Christians now donate their entire January salaries to their pastors. They call it "first fruits". Apparently, nothing moves God to bless the believer more than first fruits.

And, please don't get it twisted. Farm produce such as fruits, vegetables, corn and animals are not acceptable. They must be "monetised" i.e. sold and their monetary value given to the pastor who then spends the money on God's behalf.

It appears that the Nigerian God behaves like Nigerians. Nothing gets done in our country without bribery. Even God must be bribed with "first fruits" before He does kindness.

Nigerian Christians have most definitely developed itchy ears. And as soon as you try to point this out they will come charging at you with "touch not mine anointed and do my prophet no harm."

So, will Jesus still find faith in Nigeria when He returns?

ScienceWatch:
The evidence of creation is not hard to find. The mind-blowing evidence for CREATION is put in its simplest form in
John 14:12. Dishonest scientists earn a living from shoving ideas into the laps of the masses that usually have no way to verify the poo.

Jesus says to all pastors, ministers and evangelists in John 14:12 Truly, Truly, I say to you, He that believes me, the WORKS that I do will you also do; and greater WORKS than these shall you do; because I go unto my Father.

A pastor, minister, evangelist will be know by their WORKS so that fake pastors can be separated from the real pastors. The wheat is separated from the chaff. Only the WORKS bear witness of a real pastor, not their elaborate speeches.

What are these WORKS that Jesus always refer to ?
They are the miracles, prophecy, signs and wonders. Jesus also instructs all pastors, ministers, evangelists to do the same, He says to them,”As my father sent me, so send I you.”
Jesus say clearly in these biblical refs that these WORKS that he does bear witness that the Father has sent him.

I fail to understand something: After so many failed prophecies by these pretending clowns, people still look up to them for more.

THE AGE OF CELEBRITY... BUT AT WHAT COST?
by Michael Arnovitz

Check the image below. The guy on the left of the photo below. He died in 2016. Yet if you’re like me (or I assume most people) you probably have no idea who he is. And that is deeply unjust, because his name is Dr. Donald Henderson and he was responsible for eradicating smallpox. And it’s difficult to overstate just how big of a deal that is. During the 20th century alone the "red plague" was responsible for the deaths of as many as 500 million people. That’s a half BILLION people.

Because of Dr. Henderson’s efforts however, it’s been nearly 40 years since the last known naturally occurring case of smallpox. Which means that even in that short time period, Dr. Henderson probably saved over 200 million lives.

Numbers that big turn into mere statistics. So for some perspective look at the image below on the right. That's a Bangladeshi child stricken with smallpox. That used to be the reality for untold millions of people around the world. Smallpox was a ghastly disease. It killed a third of the people who contracted it. And those who survived it were often scarred, crippled and/or blinded for life.

But that is all gone now. Dr. Henderson took that horror from our world.

By any objective measure, at least in my view, that makes Dr. Donald Henderson one of the greatest men who ever lived. But men and women like Dr. Henderson don’t get parades, they don’t get TV specials, and they don't get celebrities tweeting about how amazing they were. Most often, as in the case of Dr. Henderson, they pass with barely a mention.

To be clear, I have no objection to honoring the work and lives of popular celebrities and artists. But as we move forward into our new year and our new reality, maybe it wouldn’t be the worst idea to start thinking a little more about what we value, and why.

We live in a nation that has spent decades over-valuing fame and under-valuing expertise. That did not happen by accident, and it’s a large part of why a reality-TV host is now the president while a man like Dr. Henderson died in near obscurity.

No matter how much pundits like to insist otherwise, we do not live in a “post-fact” world, and we never will. As a society, any collective decision by a large faction of us to ignore facts/truth doesn’t change the reality of those facts/truth. On the contrary, the only things that change are the consequences.

There are real facts in this world. There is real truth in this world. Men like Dr. Henderson used real facts, science and expertise to change the world for the better. Men like Trump manipulate and distract us away from real facts in order to pursue their own agendas.

Sadly, many of our fellow citizens can no longer tell the difference. Worse, many of them don’t want to. That means its up to the rest of us to speak for the truth. And we will.

SCIENCE MADE GOD USELESS....
by Kojo Frimpong

Man tried using god and the bible to explain the universe for 2000 years and it never helped us to learn anything. Using science and the scientific method helps us to discover and learn more. It does not matter which religion you believe in, science is reliable and always will be.

Humans no longer need to believe in a god to explain the universe. When humans were ignorant and did not understand nature they used god to explain such things. Now, we have a better understanding our circumstances. It is only people who reject science as a fact and people who refuse to educate themselves that need god.

Scientists are not idiots. You cannot just pull out god out of thin air and suggest that it must be considered by the scientific community. The church already made it clear it disagrees with science when it jailed Galileo and forced Darwin to retract his statements about natural selection. First you would have to prove your god before suggesting a scientist must consider him/her/it.

I can boldly declare that religion is not the right path, so as we progress and gather more information, the more religion fades away. It is not a coincidence!

If electricity makes life easier for us, you can thank Michael Faraday, not god. He made a big discovery that changed our lives. In 1821, he also discovered that when a wire carrying an electric current is placed next to a single magnetic pole, the wire will rotate. This led to the development of the electric motor.

Before French chemist Louis Pasteur began experimenting with bacteria in the 1860s, people did not know what caused disease, but believers ignorantly attributed this to demons. Pasteur discovered that disease came from microorganisms, and that bacteria could be killed by heat and disinfectant.

Antibiotics are powerful drugs that kill dangerous bacteria in our bodies that make us sick. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, penicillin, which he grew in his lab using mold and fungi. Can you imagine life without antibiotics?

Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist, discovered X-rays in 1895. X-rays go right through some substances, like flesh and wood, but are stopped by others, such as bones and lead. This allows them to be used to see broken bones or explosives inside suitcases, which makes them useful for doctors and security officers.

Tell me why we need a god!

If your alleged mighty magic space-wizard tyrant were real, it would mean he is an incompetent buffoon and that we were stupidly and inefficiently created, since some are born with eyes that cannot see and reproductive system but cannot reproduce, despite the ironic fact that your cult manual commands you to be fruitful and multiply. Thanks to science, these can be corrected.

A friend once asked me
If you see a guy raping a helpless five year old, what will you do??
I will stop him, I answered and make sure he gets served.

He answered "Well, God wouldn't. God will let the guy go through with it and turn my little girl into a living corpse.
You have more morals than God."

I stood speechless..like boom!!!
