U have a point tho.. but u dont realise we all have faith in one thing or the other.
I think you're referring to a different definition of faith. I'll make the title less ambiguous.

When you speak the truth in the face of political correctness (Which is what you are doing right now) you are termed aggressive. And Yes, the truth is always aggressive.
Do you remember Apostle Paul rebuking Apostle Peter in Ephesus (I think)? Do you remember what made a much more younger Paul both in age and in Faith, rebuke a much more senior Peter? Peter was fearful, sees the truth but tries to be diplomatic, tries to rationalize it, Paul stood before him and told him off, call him aggressive you like.
Sir, be the Christian that you can be, hide under False Wisdom and diplomacy, but all of us won't be the same. A Spade is called a Spade, not a gardening tool.

You are afraid to die, hence you won't speak the truth? I see. Here is what the Bible says about those who love their lives to the detriment of the gospel;

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
John:12:25

Many people feel society should let people believe whatever they want to believe and not bother them as long as they are not imposing their beliefs on others. I disagree. All beliefs should be fair game for criticism, mockery and objective testing so that they can be abandoned if they are shown to be wrong. There should be no sacred cows because every wrong belief can cause harm.

Sire, I beg to differ. Seeking to mock and debase the religious choice or belief of others is a form of discrimination on it's own. I understand your scientific stance and propagation of a rational belief system. I think you shouldn't overlook the emotional effects of outright mockery of ones belief.

Not every belief has to have a science backed proof. Science itself is considered by many as a form of religion on its own, propagating science based beliefs is akin to forced indoctrination. We have come past that.


Meanwhile. Please check www.nairaland.com/3173867/letter-potential-undergraduates . I want to get your thoughts on this. Thank you.

it is much more difficult to proove there is no God either.
You don't need to prove that there is no God, just as you don't need to prove that Superman is not a real person. You should withold belief until you have a rational reason to believe.

there are milliions of questions science and logic can't answer
That has always been and will always be the case. If science could answer every question, scientists would have no more work to do. But that doesn't mean that religion has the answers. Religion has an abysmal track record when it comes to answering questions about reality. Whenever science and religion disagree, science wins.

Whats the meaning of blind faith? Can you explain why anything exists in the first place if your faith in atheism is not blind? undecided

Matthew 17:14-22.My brother you cant prove to me there no God,I was an athiest in my early days in the University before God deliver me from lies of metal physicians.Im on a journey sir later in the day


What are you saying bayi.

I never said there is no God, did I?


It is your type that gives Atheist upper hand, prove the existence of God without alluding to the scripture.

Atheism and islam are similar in terms of intolerance. They all want a totalitarian style of domination. Thank God for christianity.

There is no way you can prove the existence of God without recourse to the Bible.
Also if you want the traditional and scientifical prove I can adjure too.
Olodumare is believed to be the Most powerful deity among Yoruba.
I have read much about Charles Darwin's law; lets assume we all evolutes;where does the small orgamism came from. Isaac Newton,James Watt, Thomas Edisson and so on believed in God. Earlier there was conflict between the church and Scientists of then because of some of their postulates,but as time went on many of the theories aligned with the Bible. Though there are still some grey areas.
