Anybody can be trashed, the "good" he has done for humanity involves exploiting the citizens of a poor country to amass a wealth of millions. Humanity does need help but your daddy in the Lord is not that help.
Hi lightanddarkess, Do you mind answering this question ? I ask it of every atheist I meet.

What are doing for people that are in need ? I bet you have a good laugh every time you see someone helped by the Holy Prophet TB Joshua. Let us know.

The work of true churches was to demonstrate Gods love which is miraculous healing and more for the benefit of mankind. In the absence of this evidence, atheism and other isms have been born.

Atheism is a mental disorder or illness :

By now we all realize the terrible inner suffering of the atheist. God will not be mocked !

The results of this study have unnerved even the most stoic scientists, physicians and researchers.

New information from a 22-year old study at a German University has many psychiatrists and psychologists throughout the world wondering if atheism is a sign or warning of a more serious mental illness already present or in the process of developing. Atheists or people who are very strident about their atheism are heavily prone to mental illness:

“There were 17,809 people in the study. It was a very large model as far as psychological experiments go.” This came as quite a shock to us as we studied patient after patient.

I've done a fair amount of volunteer work over the past few years while i was a christian and also now that i'm atheist and I will always push for positive change and try to do much more. Why should I respect TB joshua? Frankly its disgusting and worrying that you idolise tb joshua, it is also worrying how a lot of these other Pentecostal pastors are also idolised. How is it that 100 people die in TB joshuas church and people are saying he SHOULDNT be prosecuted cause he is a "man of god", how is it okay that Adeboye, Oyedepo etc collect enough tithes to own private jets and build schools probably 50% of their members cannot go to, in a country where 100 million people live in poverty. The day redeemers and CU are free and entry is based on merit alone is the day i will never say anything bad about adeboye or oyedepo again. And the day tithe collection and donations aren't a priority for TB Joshua and co is the day I will start to change my opinion. Until then TB joshua is just another self-proclaimed man of god exploiting people who rely so dearly on hope.

Contrary to your opinion I'm not mentally ill, suffering inside or lack empathy for humanity. If anything it was thinking about the world that made me an atheist.

SCIENCE WATCH : When you are able to remove your bias toward the Holy Prophet TB Joshua and examine the testimonies of thousands of intelligent people helped world wide, you will sing a different tune.
Frankly its disgusting and worrying that you idolise tb joshua, it is also worrying how a lot of these other Pentecostal pastors are also idolised.
SCIENCE WATCH : It is impossible not to have reverence and respect for anyone that works so tirelessly to help suffering people
How is it that 100 people die in TB joshuas church and people are saying he SHOULDNT be prosecuted cause he is a "man of god",
SCIENCE WATCH : It is foolish to even attempt to blame a Pastor of a church for engineering/construction problem to a church building. The hidden motives become obvious.
show is it okay that Adeboye, Oyedepo etc collect enough tithes to own private jets and build schools probably 50% of their members cannot go to, in a country where 100 million people live in poverty.

Until then TB joshua is just another self-proclaimed man of god exploiting people who rely so dearly on hope.
SCIENCE WATCH : You place a huge value on things that have very little to do with the awesome work of healing and deliverance done in the holy Scoan Church. What about all the peoples testimonies of mind-blowing changes in their
lives and families ?

Contrary to your opinion I'm not mentally ill, suffering inside or lack empathy for humanity. If anything it was thinking about the world that made me an atheist.
SCIENCE WATCH :It is not my opinion that counts, thats why I researched studies done on a particular mind-set.Based on your response above, I find it hard to believe you are capable of independent investigation into TRUTH and that you have real empathy for other people including the thousands of people that you see testifying truthfully in Scoan.

Accidentalgenius, this info may just work for you.

How do atheists use defence mechanisms to deny God? What follows are what psychologists and psychiatrist believe to be the major ways.

DENIAL: This mechanism is very simple: the atheist simply denies reality and does so with intensity and persistence. There are people who are told by doctors daily that they have a terminal illness. Their way of coping is to deny that it could be true. Atheists do the same: they intensely and persistently deny that God could exist. They block out the possibility and fight it with all their might.

RATIONALIZATIONS: This is a favourite mechanism of atheists. It is simply the reliance on logical-sounding but false reasons to negate reality. Atheists will offer countless “logical-sounding” reasons why God does not exist, or why atheists cannot accept the existence of God. They are very creative at doing so, and they specialize in using pedantic language to sound convincing to others and to themselves. They fool themselves that they are of superior intelligence and that they must be correct in their conclusions. In reality, they are simply foolish rationalizers.

Atheists use more defence mechanisms to deny God

REPRESSION: [/b]This mechanism entails forcing painful material into the sub-conscious unconsciously. The atheist who uses this mechanism is not aware of it. All of existence shouts out, "design." Every little detail in nature offers evidence of the Artist’s touch. One only has to stop, observe and see that we are not surrounded by the grotesque, but by beauty, unity and harmony. The atheist mind will not stop and observe and see the connection. If they do stop to look, they will acknowledge the art -- but not the artist.

[b]SUPPRESSION:
Suppression is similar to repression, but with one exception: it is conscious. Science is continually offering evidence of intricacy and brilliance on the Creator’s part. The concept of design is daily being reinforced by all the sciences. Accepting the evidence for former atheist, Anthony Flew, may have been painful at first, but he finally accepted the glaring reality. Most atheists will not. They will consciously “reject” the evidence, without any fair and sufficient analysis.

[b]DISPLACEMENT: [/b]This mechanism has to do with transferring feelings from one deserving object to another undeserving one. As explained above, many Atheists are angry and hurt, because of abuse or mistreatment by authority figures, parents, religious people or religious leaders. In time, they transfer their anger to God who allowed the events that caused their pain to take place. The end result of this mechanism is to abolish what they see as the ultimate source of their pain: God.

Another astonishing claim.
Lemme see what I can do for you.
First, The Arabic word for god is ilah. It can be made plural ilahi (gods) or feminine ilaha (goddess). It can also be used with the creations, e.g, godmother, godfather, etc.
The word "Allah" in Arabic is unique. It cannot be pluralized, feminized, or used with creation. It is unique. If you look at it, it is as though you are saying Al ilah, The God.
In conclusion, Allah means the one who deserves to be worshipped, and that is non other than the Creator of the universe.

Einstein recognized the remarkable design and order of the cosmos, but could not reconcile those characteristics with the evil and suffering he found in human existence. How could an all-powerful God allow the suffering that exists on earth?

Einstein's error
Einstein and Religion: Physics and Theology. Einstein's failure to understand the motives of God are the result of his incorrect assumption that God intended this universe as His ultimate perfect creation.

Einstein could not get past the moral problems that are present in our universe. He assumed, as most atheists do, that a personal God would only create a universe which is both good morally and perfect physically.

[b]Where Albert Einstein erred [/b]was in that thinking that there was a god who designed the universe, but designed it in such as way as to allow evil without a purpose. If the universe were designed and it included evil, then there must have been a purpose for that evil.
More correctly, according to Christianity, the purpose of the universe is not to be morally or physically perfect, but to provide a place where spiritual creatures can choose to love or reject God - to live with Him forever in a new, perfect universe, or reject Him and live apart from Him for eternity. This fact is made simple when one examine the evidence coming out on Emmanuel TV/ The Scoan Church Nigeria.

I know my Atheist brothers and sisters will be wondering why a Muslim would congratulate them on their Atheism.
The reason is because it shows you've been thinking.

I believe most of my Atheist brothers and sisters were Christians.

Now, I believe you are familiar with Genesis.
First, the story of Adam and Eve in the garden, then they ate the forbidden fruit, and they became naked. It says "Adam heard the footsteps of God, walking in the garden, in the cool of the day". I ask my self, "footsteps of God"? like King Kong? Then God goes to the place Adam was standing few secs ago, and stops. Then he asks "Adam, Adam, where are thou"? God didn't know where Adam was? or was He playing hide and seek? Adam comes out and says, here I am.

Now, my question "DO U BELIEVE IN A GOD LIKE THAT" I believe you don't, and I don't.

Further down Genesis, Moses (AS) wanted to see God, so, God says, "you can't see me". In the Qur'an, "Allah says you will never see me". But in the bible, he is insistent, like a spoiled child. So, God puts him between two rocks and puts His hand in the opening, Moses (AS) can't see him, He turns His back and takes off His hand, and Moses (AS) saw the back of God, he saw His backside, because if he saw God's front side, he would have died.

My question, "DO U BELIEVE IN A GOD LIKE THAT" I believe you don't, and I don't.

Again, do you believe in a God that is born by his creation, Mary (AS), and circumcised on the eighth day DO YOU BELIEVE IN A GOD LIKE THAT I believe you don't, and I don't.

The first part of the shahada is "There is no god except Allah". It starts with "There is no god", so, my brothers and sisters, you have taken the first step in seeking truth. May Allah guide us all to the right path.


NOTE: This post is not to spite my Christian brothers and sisters, I only seek to reason with everyone.

Salaam.

I have performed some study, and reflected on them, and have to come to the conclusion that Islam has always and will always be the truth.

I don't know if you believe in God or not, but your very existence is because there is a creator, Allah.

If we go back, according to science, you'll agree with me that at a time, there was only a pair of humans. So, before them, what??

If we agree with the theory of evolution, for example, we will go back to the amoeba. Two questions:
1. Are you saying a group of amoeba, without brains came and thought for themselves, some decided to form a monkey, some lion, some fish, etc?
2. Assuming it is correct, we go back to a time there was nothing, no life. Life cannot exist from lifelessness without some intervention of some sort. Likewise, nothing can form out of nothingness, on it's own.

This fact alone is enough proof that God exists, for those who say He doesn't.
Yes ! God will not be mocked !
