The ancients had moral codes cuz they understood they had needed something to judge people.

Yes God has a lot to do about, cuz my argument was religion should be used to judge people, wat religion?

I no u no I'm christian nd it should be obvious that I believe the my religion came from GOD.

Are u really that slow, that I have to inform I GOD has a lot to do with the argument.



Exactly people need moral codes.



Yes it is old testament stuff nd NT stuff.

Lol its has to be 2 different Yahweh's, haha

Clearly showing u don't no wat the new testament teaches about the old testament laws.

I don't agree with homo's cuz the NT says it's evil.

And it's not my fault that he is misunderstanding my argument

While anticipating my NYSC, my dad told me how he served in a seminary and the several demonic attrocities reverend fathers commit, coincidentally i was posted to Anambra state, osumenyi in a catholic school.
We were lodged in the fathers residence for some weeks. I know that ladies came from town to service the fathers regularly, i know that sometimes at night, the fathers were drunk to an extent that they couldnt stand .. I moved close to one of the seminarians because he was probably my age mate. At least i remember during one of our discussions that He told me the following clearly
I joined the seminary because of the priviledges given to Rev. fathers.
One can have sex with as many ladies as you want but they must not get pregnant.

I knew he had sex with my students regularly.
He grew up in the seminary just like Johnydon22. Anyway I heard he was sent away for stealing offering before delivering it to the fathers.
Still During my stay there, the priest was changed and this one was worse. Another seminarian also joined, a bit older than the previous ones. That one had sex with female students at will.

Will you say these ones have any idea what they are intoundecided

If tired of their irresponsibility and want a change they become atheists claiming "former christians",
if they find grace they will come to a different realization of the person of Christ.

Being born into christianity or being ordained by men is never synonymous to being a christian? undecided
What can you say about "preachers" in Nigeria who engage in several demonic attrocities?
Your origin or decisions has nothing to do with your relationship with God.

Fact remains, You cant leave a place youve never been,

You have already agreed human morality is independent of religions like you rightly agreed above.

You have only furthered to affirm that only those who lack independent moral basis in conformity to pleasing societal interactions will need religion or Politics (Laws of the state) to ensure that.

Hahahaha please don't be aggressive...

In fact the very fact that the new and old testament moral tilt differs drastically even though all allegedly from the same Deity is enough for all to see these are people speaking for these deities..




Exactly people need moral codes.

Am so happy you agree to the other God concepts in the picture though you go against the bible by agreeing to these other Gods..




Yes it is old testament stuff nd NT stuff.


For the simple fact that you need to hide behind the old testament laws in order to discard these laws shows these laws drastically goes against your own ethics or idea of moral actions. . . .You think God got it wrong the first time..

If he didn't there wouldn't be need to change it



Lol its has to be 2 different Yahweh's, haha


Or the idea and societal expectations and timeline of the people who speak for Yahweh changed... Could it be that.?

we wouldn't know... lipsrsealed



Clearly showing u don't no wat the new testament teaches about the old testament laws.


Oh maybe even more than you do cus i know the Council of Jerusalem was responsible for discarding most jewish laws for the gentiles.



I don't agree with homo's cuz the NT says it's evil.


Hhmm and we keep wondering how the new testament agreed with the old on homosexuality and skipped burning priest wayward daughters or murdering unbelievers..

God changed his mind i suppose.. wink

exactly the point, if people didn't live together as a society there wouldn't be need for moral codes or societal ethics.

Humans becoming social beings saw the birth of ethical codes for a pleasing mutual societal interactions.

I wouldn't blame you for thinking a deity was the progenitor of these codes..

No not at all... I am straight so personally i hate homosexuality.... We were only comparing societal ethics here please don't drag it into something else entirely..

The idea here is Both the Old and New are alleged words of Yahweh...

For there to be need to discard the old laws and make a new shows the old one was wrong and needed to be changed.... So Yahweh got the first law wrong?

The way you are struggling to distance yourself from these old testament laws. could it be that you find the old testament yahweh a little disturbing?

Forget research about the bible or every other ancient religious texts out there, you wouldn't know much of any of them anyway.

So the question now is... How come you find the old laws not worth keeping, how come it had to be changed..

Could it be Yahweh changed his mind or the ideas of the people who speak for Yahweh changed..?

You don't really have an idea what defence to bring up right?

Cus this thread is very open... My question was..

Why is it that the new testament agreed with the old on homosexuality and not on burning daughters of wayward priests.

And oh yes... What i find right or wrong are actions towards one another and not who people choose to sleep with or do in their bedroom with mutual consent.... its not my business.

You really have no idea how to keep up a discussion... dabbling into different premises shows you off to be quite naive on that..

why not stick to the subject of our discussion ...

i sighted the example of the Mr who started preaching at the ripe age of 12. Going by your analogy, it means that the number of christians are overtly overated. Who then are the christians? if a REV, a Pastor, A Preacher is not a christian, who then is? How do we know these? Does committing atrocities make them any less of a christian? are there christians that don't commit atrocities? What really are you yapping about?

Dude, i am not defending anything. I just want you to see the foolishness of opening a thread on who deconverted or not. as it it proves anything. Daily, people are deconverting from one religion/set of believes and adopting new ones, based on their new convictions.

Its not possible not to believe in God. Its inbuilt. Man as a spirit cant be void. The system is in such a way that if he rejects the Holy spirit, an evil spirit automatically takes charge.
These ones are evidence.
Their stand point is unbelief(neutral) as they normally claim, but none of them can really explain why they post comments against God and christianity.
Its clear for all to see.

And how dare you say that it is not organised when they have their "church " and "preachers"[ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/atheist-church] and much more .

People have different views on what is good nd wat is wrong.

Serial rapists think rape is OK, should we allow them to teach there children the same?

For to their eyes rape is not wrong.

You are wrong man. A serial rapist knows that rape ain't okay. A rapist's urge to commit rape ain't guided by right or wrong. Just the same way a serial killer knows killing is bad. Some people just get-off of doing bad things.

In this case one might deduct that need to evaluate what you refer to as God is very vital..

It can be energy as a quantum value, gravity or other forces responsible for universal causality, manifestations, laws of physics as we know them..
(Even though there are other many places laws of Physics are meaningless in this universe affirming nature has no one way of manifestation...

So we should check and see what really is being referred to as God here..

forces and values of universal causality or anthropomorphical humanoids somewhere in a mansion..?

Exactly ! They are still kids breeding on Nairaland . They don't know what's up . They think its all about "logic and reasoning" grin . On their youtube shows they have callers who ask questions to know more about their " movement " . Atheism is a branch of satanism under the guise of the non belief in any deity .
