We have heard of several murder cases in child marriage, where the child bride murders the husband.

"Border on insult"

Truthman is a name that's easy to make

I for instance tried a lot of usernames before deciding on this one when I wanted to create my account including "truthman" itself, after being frustrated with different rejections, I decided to try this one knowing its gonna be hard for it to be taken

When we setup our mail(s) sometime, we realise the mail address we wanted had been taken, we then add something to the end e.g

Hopefullandlord might be taken, then we put Hopefullandlord22222 and if it works, we use it,

that might be the reason for his using that monicker not a case of him attempting to impersonate

Calling someone "boy" and calling another "man" borders (keyword "border"wink on insult

But hey, whatever
Whatever.

Hmmm

May mean different things

But context here is what I'm saying

You think or know Jesus was talking about kids who have barely known their right from left

Analice also quoted it to buttress turning nairalanders (who should be much older than that) to atheists

Which of the contexts is the correct one?

1. Bill gates is no atheist and definately uses his time for more reasonable things than propagating atheism.
.

It's no secret that Bill Gates is agnostic and shares same view like most of us agnostics; never said he was an atheist so I don't know where you are getting your weird opinions from. Let me share my favorite quote of his in an interview as partains religion and theist believes;

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There’s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

http://hollowverse.com/bill-gates/

The rest of your points are just a mere rumbling of a starved kid. Fact remains that the man that runs the biggest charity organisation in the globe is NOT a Christian and leads a perfect normal life unlike what you shallow Christians would like everyone to believe that any one that doesn't believe in Christ is in crisis.

Gone are the days for being made to feel guilty for being responsible for the sins that nailed Jesus on the cross. Gone are the weeks I would be told to confess my sins in prayer and ask God for forgiveness for sins I couldn't imagine I committed. Gone are those deliverance services in MFM. I no longer feel guilty of sin I supposedly committed against a god that hasn't been verified.

I tried to read the bible every day, but to be honest it was pretty boring. I went to church regularly which helped to assuage my doubts, but I often felt frustrated with a lack of guidance from God. I noticed even when I ask for God's guidance,wait on him,fast for days,but I end up making my decisions myself. I noticed the total silence from God even when I needed an answer from him. It was complete silence. But when I get a decision right I get asked to testify that God did it. No I couldn't do that because that was my decision.

Giving up my childhood belief system was hard, but it's one of the most important things I've done for myself. My family have disowned me and still I feel a bit of anxiety but not lonely as I used to be. I make better decisions now,I trust my instinct,read books and learn from life experiences.

I must also thank the nairaland religious section for helping me turn proper atheist. I watch most religions debates on here and see how Christians make absolute zero sense when debating atheists. I understand why Christians debate blindly, because their religion is such a core belief that they cannot imagine their life without it. But yes you can!

Hello brother.I understand from your post that you once attended MFM.

My prayer for you is for the Almughty God to visit you and reveal Himself to you.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Anyone who just becomes a christian is a little new born babe in Christ. We call them baby Christians. They are babies because they still don't know anything about the mysteries of the kingdom, and people like you can bamboozled them and throw them into confusion, thereby killing them spiritually.

Open their eyes to what exactly? To folly?

If you ve ever been a christian you'd know that Scriptures interpret Scriptures. No scripture stands on its own solely to make meaning.

There is God but he is not the god of any religion. He does not demand worship. He does not interfere in the affairs of humanity, because everything is delegated to nature.

You see your stupidity is alarming. You guys say its all for nothing and cant even act as such.
If nothing matters, why does it matter if someone believes or not?

Read up the poor boy's claim and see that there is nothing rational about his decision. Its all emotions, just like all of you.
The dude is probably going through a hard time with his parents for obvious reasons he deliberately omitted.
Do not force your trauma on people, they are not responsible for your woes.

You see what this lady said? You should think about it everyday of your life.
You signed off yesterday and still find it difficult to stay away from a fairy tale? Does that not prove you arn't in control of yourself?

Think dude, just think.

Here is the story of a former atheist who was actually open minded and didnt just parrot it.

Here is another former astheist astrophysicist sharing her story

[url=notashamedofthegospel.com/apologetics/proof-that-god-exists/]Here is another atheist that objectively weighed the evidence for and against God[/url]

Here is another christ hating atheist blogger who had spent all his life writing against christianity

These are real reasons, not some emotionally imbalanced kid that saw atheism are correct because he had questions. Its as silly as saying because I have questions about my country, then its better to act as if my country does not exist.

Bill Gates on Religion
Gates was interviewed November 1995 on PBS by David Frost. Below is the transcript with minor edits.

Frost: Do you believe in the Sermon on the Mount?

Gates: I don't. I'm not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I'm a huge believer in. There's a lot of merit in the moral aspects of religion. I think it can have a very very positive impact.

Frost: I sometimes say to people, do you believe there is a god, or do you know there is a god? And, you'd say you don't know?

Gates: In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid.

He could be irreligious or even deistic. But when someone says "It makes sense to believe in God", it definately does not tally with what you people spend your lives telling us here.
