hahn:And I can bet a million dollars you didn't investigate these stories before typing the crap above! Werent you the one who asked the question? And to think you sounded like you wanted to increase your knowledge for a moment! Bravo ! |

Saklekplus:Talking about common sense, attack the topic not the person or you will be committing a fallacy called 'argumentum ad hominen' in logic. At this point I will like to move with facts. Quoting from the first sentence in the Bible from king James Version, Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1, It reads "In the beginning God created heaven and the earth." So whether English or not the fact remains that Christians acknowledge God as God. |

hahn:Once again, nothing to do with the subject matter! Are u saying imams don't scam their congregation? They are all pure and holy? There will always be sheep among wolves but at least the Christians aren't bombing people on a daily basis worldwide! |

5minsmadness: ok it is not that he cannot deal with a person, but his powers were given to him and to every extent controlled by God. Even though he is said to be the god of this world according to 2cor 4:4, the biblical meaning is one who has temporary influence/rule over fallen men in this present world. He is not divine or deity but a common creature of God. God is God and Lord of all. |

johnydon22: And with all you said above you still can't explain why eleven fishermen and their illiterate followers conquered the whole of Rome! Anything you cant explain you dismiss as coincidence. Anything that shakes your precious scientific ideals you quickly wave away as inconsequential. Becasue you dare not believe that there are some things you cannot explain, some things the are beyond your precious scientific knowledge! Found out who built the pyramids of egypt yet? Or did it randomly appear after the big bang? Will definitely visit the science thread later on! 1 Like 2 Shares |

5minsmadness:Exactly the same way few islamic scholars conquered the whole of Malian empire Anything you can't explain is open for study, experimentations and scrutiny to ascertain how it was done not assume up some absurd imaginations where you lack knowledge Obviously feigning a clown here aren't you? Its obvious you are just interested in clowning about, scramble words together and pour in some smiley. . . #am seriously above that |

hahn: Obviously you don't get it! Why are trying so desperately hard to help people 'like' me? Did we ask for your help? Are u getting paid in anyway? Or are u really hoping that in your attempts to dismiss these beliefs you will indirectly reassure yourself that your disbelief is valid? As per the bolded you will continue to wonder and it will continue to be a source of perplexion to you until u realise what you have been missing! I know you say you are missing nothing... And yet you can't stop wondering what millions of people around the world see in this non existent thing that they love so much. Eh ya. 2 Likes 1 Share |

johnydon22: Anyone can create a meme bro, it doesnt negate the fact that when we say ALMIGHTY GOD we all know we mean the GOD of the Christians while when we say Almighty Allah it connotes islam! I'm very usre they dont write "Praise God" in thier letters but "Priase Allah" and we all know which religion is being referred to. Lame example bro! p.s, I'm surprised you are calling for the calvary...for little ol' me? I must really be putting you on the spot! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

johnydon22:I highly doubt it It just irks me how people can turn to athiesm without exploring the full expanse of christianity. they read the bible and thats it. they never go further, hence thier limited knowledge and sometimes lame postulations. Same so called christians enter the real world and see real problems and cos the bible 'apparently' doesnt have the answer they debunk christianity in its entirety and turn to atheism! Its sad! But then even Jesus, the Word of God said "Narrow is the way that leads to Salvation!" Hiswordxray can help me with the location of that quote |

johnydon22:Mali Empire and Rome which was greater?!? You a proffessed scholar are comparing Mali Empire and ROME?!?!?!!? ROME a former WORLD POWER?!?!?! Haaaaaaahahahaha!!! Meanwhile The Mali EMpire was already muslim inclined as its founder Sundiata Kaita was a Muslim albeit a nominal one. His mother is written to have called on Allah as recorded by Niane(An epic of Old Mali). Christians though had to start form scratch! Anything you can't explain is open for study, experimentations and scrutiny to ascertain how it was done not assume up some absurd imaginations where you lack knowledgeAnd if you dont have the equipment to study it you give it the benefit of the doubt till it can be studied! Follow the golden rule of "DO NO HARM"; If Christians feel that worshipping thier God makes them more fulfilled and happy and they are not hurting anybody by doing it then by all means let them be! Can you explain the functionality of a placebo? If not, does that mean Placebos do not exist? Obviously feigning a clown here aren't you? and you dont know the building of the pyramids and the great sphinx has remained a mystery to this day? Or are you going to grasp at the flimsy postulations of a few dreamy archeologists,eager to debunk the slave "myth" as they put it?
Ah, my smileys are beginning to irritate you? Why na? What has it got to do with the discussion, or you are looking for a way to end it? Ok na, I wont use smiley again, just this last one |

Saklekplus:I waited for u to talk again, but nothing Did you expect me to use a Latin or French Bible or is KJV not a Christian Bible. I wanna Quote Goodnews Bible on the same Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1... It reads 'in the beginning, when God created the universe ' That's another example from Christian Bible calling God God.

Re: God Vs Religion by Nobody: 7:31pm On Jul 12, 2015 |
9aijaboi: As we have KJV and NIV in English version ,there is KJV and NIV in other languages, I think u will agree with me that, there is French Christians, Español Christians, Yoruba Christians, swahili Christians etc,, u will not tell them to use English word for GOD as GOD in their own translation of the Bible and they also read KJV or NIV in their own language respectively, the name given to GOD as in English is different, that's the point am trying to cull out, Even, there is Arabic Bible, the name they use for supreme being (GOD) there is ALLAH, so Wat are u saying?... Bro, u still have alots to learn |
Re: God Vs Religion by Hiswordxray(m): 7:33pm On Jul 12, 2015 |
Among religious people you would hear words like "my religion is not a religion..." But the truth is that we don't know what religion is and many of us are still entangled in religion even those who call themselves atheist. Human being is bound to have religion and that is how the human nature is constituted. Religion on the other hand is not a belief in a deity but rather a product of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The sad truth is that almost every human patronize that tree whether theist or atheist. Only a very few pursue the tree of life. 1 Like |
