I am almost done with religion. I feel like I have been robbed or possibly duped of my freedom.
My sense of reasoning is beginning to tingle, even the thought of the so-called hell fire doesn't scare me. I have considered some things that are impossible in the nature of things and which betray the thinking power of a rational mind.
I have also considered the possibility that God allows sufferings just to prove Himself. Even the design of certain creatures shows that things including suffering and chaos were planned from the onset (speaking with the probability that God exists). Seriously, if you wanted a peaceful world, why would you give the scorpion a sting or give the eagle a claw? This actually proves that God knew that peace wasn't gonna last and that one day, the scorpion would need its sting to defend itself. If God exists, He should reveal Himself through easily grasped means and not revealing Himself to a set and leaving the others in doubt. I am not in the position to disprove God's existence neither am I sure of His existence. Theists would jump in now and say I do not have a relationship with the creator. A creator who plays deaf to prayers or blind to sufferings is not worth having a relationship with.

I could remember when I had a discussion with this op when he probably still had some inclination to Christianity @ https://www.nairaland.com/3120635/christianity-vs-islam-which-older/1 but look at today. He's confused, Rilwon lexiconkabir, udatso, another one o. True2god, annunaki2, truthman2012 Ifeann, etc why not help your brother, these are people who need help not Muslims

Christianity is a goner on Nairaland! See 6 million converts o

But were these or any other used against ANY living being before the fall? Why is it that the Bible talks of a time when Lions will eat grass and not flesh? Obviously, God designed that all animals will eat the producers - plants alone

Science has proven all these "gods" false, it has shown us, how thunder come about, so no need for sango, it has told us how twins are formed, no need for orisha ibeji, and has shown us how riduculus every thing on that list are, but it is yet to disprove the existence of ALLAH, you might ask why, well his book, unlike human made books, that is subject to errors has no single error in it, have you ever seen a book that just at the second chapter starts with "This is a book that has no doubts in it"{Quran2:2}?? And truly, it has no doubts, except for alleged doubts which has been dealt with over time.

Peace.

lexiconkabir:


I don't know about that, tell me more of it?

hopefulLandlord:


funny how you quickly mentioned the ones that have been proven false

but magically ignored those ones that have not been proven false like OBATALA for instance; now go back and read it, then try those ones that have not been proven false

it is thw main trend on news. Istanbul airort, isil, bokoharam

You dont expect me to go through this, do you? All these hizboshaytan(party of shaytan) has been denied by Islamic bodies, moreover muslims are the ones that suffer the most from their attacks, so what?

how about the into lady in kano

The rate at which Christianity is going down ehn.. They will soon detect crude oil.

This thread might help you, dont read in a hurry, thanks!

so there is a justification for killing the igbo lady in kano.( in such situations will do the same) *I didnt read it. Just answer this short question with a concise answer*

lexiconkabir:


Common dont be lazy!

Anyway in brief, what happened in kano is jungle justice(This happens everywhere) and not near what Islam teaches, but i still urge you to read it.....

ilovetheline:

You sounded more like a lgnorant. I guess you haven't been reading your koran. How would you say their is no doubt in the quran when actually there are lot of contradictory verses and confusion in it?
How come all Muslims don't agree to the same doctrine?
Watch what you say, we here are not fools like you.

lepasharon:


Don't get smug. Someone who doesn't believe in the christian God, is unlikely going to believe the Islamic one either .
Afterall, if there was no bible there will be no Quran

lexiconkabir:


Lets start from here, are you a Christian?

Obadiah77:


I used to be a Christian but now I am not. I stopped being a Christian few months ago after finding out the lies therein just like islam.
