ValentineMary , you have not defended what you wrote as your signature 'Religion dies as knowledge grows ' . I refuted your claim and a cogent rebuttal was not brought forward . You just made a cavil - atheism is on the rise in Europe and Latin America , which is not quite so .

ValentineMary:

From d data we have now according to SNP we have 99.5% similarity in DNA with d Neanderthals.

KingEbukasBlog:


How is this proof ? . A creator can choose to use 'similar DNA' . In short , read up old-earth creationism

KingEbukasBlog:


Ugh ! Not those articles from atheists .

There is a rise in irreligiousity/secularism not atheism . Even your article mentioned this , there is decline in religious practices - just as I mentioned earlier . And people hide their beliefs so they could be part of what is in vogue . Tenants in religion preclude depravities , religious beliefs tend to deter you from doing a lot of things . So people now have to detach themselves from these practices so they can enjoy the world but still acknowledge the existence of God .

Religion plummeting does not God does not exist - it was foretold in fact . Don't get it twisted .


Your signature says when "Knowledge grows , Religion dies " this has not been proven .

U did not follow d link. The first link was from a catholic site. Oga I see say u no get word to say. Don't worry I understand how it feels to try to defend ur imaginations. And for my signature, can u compare d number of atheist in 1200 A.D and the number of atheist in 2016 ? What happened Enlightenment

ValentineMary:

I think it's now obvious even to ur fellow theist how biased u are. All to defend an imaginary God. Which other organism has this similar DNA to humans?

Dekatron:
I was not expecting better...... Well......



Perhaps you might wanna choose which points to discuss... Most are repeated points making no sense..... Besides, nobody has time to waste analyzing over a hundred points to some niggas that keep running in circles

ValentineMary:

That's d misconception going on for years. That's why I said MODERN EVOULUTION BIOLOGY text book. We did not come from Ape do ur reserch well.

ValentineMary:

*Laffing* Is that all u have to say to defend ur fellow ignorant theist who does not know shit about evolution. What am I saying? both of u rock d same boat.
Obviously u don't know about d exponential rise in atheism in most of Europe and latin America

UyiIredia:


We do come from apes. The common ancestor of men and apes would have been an ape as is proven by depictions of it.

KingEbukasBlog:


Please how did cells derive the propensity to evolve

KingEbukasBlog:


You want to compare the number of atheists in 1200 and in 2016 . Brilliant thought . You should also compare the number of Christians in 1200 and 2016 too .

Ogbeni , the first link is not working .

ValentineMary:

If u don't know evolutionary biology, just say I don't know. Don't assume. I can recommend good books for u to read on the topic eg The selfish gene. u can download d pdf

ValentineMary:

Cooy it and paste it in ur browser. And it's quite clear why xtianity has droped so much. Enlightenment

KingEbukasBlog:



We are in a sinful world and these people are enticed by the things of the world . Boys are promiscuous , girls are wantons . Kim Kardashian celebrates her sex tape and the media is awash with stories of her callipygian figure - shallow-mindedness .

This has nothing to do with enlightenment . Stop the self deceit . It has already being foretold people would lose their faith en masse for whatever reason

ValentineMary:

Sin according to ur xtian definition has always been. It was even worse during d time of d Roman empire. So pls"sin" is not caused by enlightenment

ValentineMary:

If u don't know evolutionary biology, just say I don't know. Don't assume. I can recommend good books for u to read on the topic eg The selfish gene. u can download d pdf

Edenoscar:


Selfish Gene c'mon
That book is for professionals..I bet if he takes NZT-48 and study the most advanced bio textbooks he would still say man evolved from apes.

There is little or no 'enlightenment' . People become irreligious as they seek the pleasures of the world . Latin America , Europe , America are becoming morally decadent - are you going to pretend that you dont know this ?

Religious tenets deter you from seeking pleasures that are not spiritually edifying like pre-marital sex , partying , dressing indecently etc .So extricating yourself from those strong beliefs leads to irreligiousity/atheism , that's why you have that sense of freedom when you become an atheist . You feel you can do anything you want , nothing holds you back - this is being delusional anyway.

ValentineMary:

And Afghanistan is getting more moral abi Why can't u realise that people do good or bad irrespective of religious beliefs. And morality is shapened by our environment. Or are u trying to say christians don't carry out pre-marital sex? or though d net and see countless pastors sleeping with church members. Some even beat church members. I wanted to ignore u but I think it is a virtue to teachd ignorant. But for ur friend BlueAgent, he has crossed d borders of ignorance. No human words can classify him again.

Many are called but few are chosen . The ignorance of atheism is indeed ineffable .

blueAgent:




Yes our Environment can influence our morals. but that is not an excuse to indugle in immoral habits. People collectively create the kind of environment they want to be in. and it is also influenced by their moral values.

Eg in society were Pre-marital sex is frowned upon. their will be collective action against anybody acting contrary to the norms of that environment or community.

In christedom their are two groups. those who proffers christanity as a religeon but barely live according to the tenants of christanity. and those who confesses and pratice what the believe according to the Bible.

People you mentioned in your example. are people who fit into ,the first class of christains.what they do is wrong before God and Man. and they will be Judged.
Becos everyone is doing something wrong. does not automaically turn it into something
right .

No clever arrangement of bad eggs will
make a good omelet. ”

Jesus’s Story is an Obvious
Rehashing Of Numerous
Previous Characters
Perhaps even more compelling is the story of
Christ himself. As it turns out it’s not even
remotely original. It is instead nothing more
than a collection of bits and pieces from dozens
of other stories that came long before. Here are
some examples.

1. Asklepios healed the sick, raised the
dead, and was known as the savior and
redeemer.



2. Hercules was born of a divine father and
mortal mother and was known as the
savior of the world.



3. Dionysus was literally the “Son of
God”, was born of a woman who had not
had sex with a man, and was depicted
riding a donkey. He was a traveling
teacher who performed miracles, and was
killed and resurrected, after which time
he became immortal.



4. Osiris did the same things. He was born
of a virgin, was considered the first true
king of the people, and when he died he
rose from the grave and went to heaven.
5. Osiris’s son, Horus , was known as the
“light of the world”, “The good
shepherd”, and “the lamb”. He was also
referred to as, “The way, the truth, and
the life.” His symbol was a cross-like
symbol.



6. Mithra ‘s birthday was celebrated on the
25th of December , his birth was
witnessed by local shepherds who
brought him gifts, had 12 disciples,
and when he was done on earth he had
a final meal before going up to heaven.
On judgment day he’ll return to pass
judgment on the living and the dead.
The good will go to heaven, and the evil
will die in a giant fire. His holiday is
on Sunday (he’s the Sun God). His
followers called themselves “brothers”,
and their leaders “fathers” . They had
baptism and a meal ritual where
symbolic flesh and blood were eaten.
Heaven was in the sky, and hell was
below with demons and sinners.



7. Krishna had a miraculous conception
that wise men were able to come to
because they were guided by a star.
After he was born an area ruler tried to
have him found and killed. His parents
were warned by a divine messenger,
however, and they escaped and was met
by shepherds. The boy grew up to be
the mediator between God and man.



8. Buddha ‘s mother was told by an angel
that she’d give birth to a holy child
destined to be a savior. As a child he
teaches the priests in his temple about
religion while his parents look for him.
He starts his religious career at roughly
30 years of age and is said to have
spoken to 12 disciples on his deathbed.
One of the disciples is his favorite, and
another is a traitor. He and his disciples
abstain from wealth and travel around
speaking in parables and metaphors. He
called himself “the son of man” and was
referred to as, “prophet”, “master”, and
“Lord”. He healed the sick, cured the
blind and deaf, and he walked on water.
One of his disciples tried to walk on
water as well but sunk because his faith
wasn’t strong enough.


9. Apollonius of Tyana (a contemporary of
Jesus) performed countless miracles
(healing sick and crippled, restored
sight, casted out demons, etc.) His birth
was of a virgin, foretold by an angel. He
knew scripture really well as a child. He
was crucified, rose from the dead and
appeared to his disciples to prove his
power before going to heaven to sit at
the right hand of the father. He was
known as, “The Son of God”.
The problem, of course, is that these previous
narratives existed hundreds to thousands of
years before Jesus did.
