May you be blessed.

This hypocrites will always want to distance Christianity from religion when it suits them. They say Christianity is not a religion but a way of life, now just one influential person claims to accept religion and all of them here are running back under the canopy of religion.

Their religion needs the strength that comes from community and blind faith. They need the constant reassurance that they are right. The knowledge that comes from faith is very fleeting and shaky compared to the knowledge that comes from reason.


It's because of the nature of this faith knowledge that they need people reassuring them, they need community etc they are like blind men in a room seeking for what to hold on to in order to be sure that they are right. They are never fully confident that's why stories of pastors commiting sins deals a blow to their faiths.

As for freethinkers, we don't need to see other believing people in order to be sure. We believe because we followed a logical path to the truth. We don't need and depend on other peoples logic cause all brains can reason when they decide to.
I tired too oo

Tell that to Mark Zucky and Bill gates.

Mark Zucky declared that after his spell of asking questions he is NOT an atheist.

He will be worth $50b shortly
He is the youngest Billionaire alive
He is smarter than you in leaps and bounds

Yeah i can see how reasonable you are as an atheist. You do realize that atheism and confusion go hand in hand and irrationality is their perfume.
Is mark a Christian?

Agnostic in the sense that he was not certain or is skeptical about a personal God not the existence of the Supreme Being . Albert Einstein was clearly a deist .

'I am not an atheist.'explaining at one point: "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal god is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."



Young man I have to ask you whether you are a Christian.

All your posts seem to rope in deism. Its like you always wanna claim the sense in deism.

For you it's clear that your dabbling into science and reason is making you unable to accept all the tales in the bible and you are now trying to marry scientific theories with the biblical ones. You appear to be diluting your faith, you might just be turning into a deist.

You know what you should do to yourself?
Recite the following to yourself once more
1. I believe the world was created on 6am 4004bc by Yahweh with a command.
2. I believe every living thing was created 7 days later including man and all the animals.
3. I believe Yahweh chose the jews out of all the millions of human beings.
4. I believe Yahweh sent Moses to be a savior and lawgiver to the jews.
5. I believe Yahweh sent his only son Jesus to be the messiah of humanity after shunning humanity for 4000 years.
6. I believe Yahweh is actually 3 people in one.
7. I believe the end is near and all faithful Christians will be raptured to heaven and live forever and ever.

Please recite the above so you can get back to the camp you belong in. But if you ever want to use your head, you already know where you will end up which is anywhere but Christianity.

People think questioning religious beliefs mean you are questioning God's existence . I'm just promoting deism so that it can be seen clearly that God is beyond the purview of religion .

This is not biblical

2. I believe every living thing was created 7 days later including man and all the animals.

In Hebrew "day" means

1. A 24 hour day

2. Day

3. An unspecified period of time .

And "morning" and "evening" means the beginning and end to this unspecified period of time .

But I choose to believe yet another variant of the creation story

LiberaDeus:
3. I believe Yahweh chose the jews out of all the millions of human beings.

Millions rejected God that's why they were destroyed by the flood . There are many who weren't Jews yet they walked with God - Abel , Seth, Methuselah , Enoch , Noah and his family etc .

LiberaDeus:
4. I believe Yahweh sent Moses to be a savior and lawgiver to the jews.

Sure .
LiberaDeus:
5. I believe Yahweh sent his only son Jesus to be the messiah of humanity after shunning humanity for 4000 years.

Yahweh didn't shun humanity for 4,000 years , Humanity did . Jesus was the recourse .

LiberaDeus:
6. I believe Yahweh is actually 3 people in one.

No . God is 3 cosubstantial hypostasis .

Seriously, I just understand how threatened Christians feel by atheism now. Funny thing is that u don't even see the Muslims touching themselves because somebody became a Buddhist... Seems they are not as desperate as the Christians here




It's not because they feel threatened, only that they consider other religious beliefs to be more reasonable than atheism, coupled with the fact that atheists usually cite mark Zuckerberg as an example of influential atheists in the world before now.

I remember posting this some time ago

By 2025 there will be over 6,000,000 fewer atheist world-wide, that’s a loss of about 1,700 atheist a day over the next ten years according to a report on the status of Global Missions in 2014 by Gordon Conwell Theological Seminar.

I began researching this trend recently after watching this video from Zach Anner about Sunday Assembly, which is basically a secular/atheistic attempt at doing church!

of course! I've always observed that too

a Muslim likes a Christian more than he does atheist and a Christian likes Muslim more than he does atheist

Muslims like a Christian turned atheist less than when he was a Christian

these are things I've experienced in Nigeria and 3 other countries but I seriously wonder why that is

RELIGION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND I AM NOT ATHEIST - FACEBOOK FOUNDER, MARK ZUCKERBERG DECLARES

I stalk Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook since he usaully replies comments himself. Today, he was wishing people Merry Christmas, and people started asking him various personal questions. Below are some of the top questions and the answers he gave.


Q: Damn, I love the fact that the owner of Facebook does actually replies to people who use Facebook.
MZ: Well, I love talking to people in our community.

Q: You forgot Jarvis, I thought he was part of the family.
MZ: Not a full member yet, one day perhaps we will include our Als.

Q: But why Facebook doesn't notify that it's Jesus birthday today??
MZ: You aren't friends with Jesus on Facebook?

Q: But aren't you atheist?
MZ: No. I was raised jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important.



https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10103363940448171&id=4

Well i actually thought this was click bait.
Nice you posted this.

I am not surprised. A lot of atheists of recent are turning to religion especially to Christianity and Judaism. Even some atheist YouTube stars renounced atheism this year.

In the west atheism has started declining. Many are turning to Christianity because of islams agressions to Christian minorities who still look up to Christ despite persecution. The elections in the US played a big role as more white americans are leaving the godless democrats for the conservation religious republicans. I have seem many of such threads on US political forums.

Its insane in my opinion to believe that you existed out of nothing. The greatest scientists in history are not atheists and a huge chunk either practised Christianity or judism and some like albert Einstein, stephen hawkings or neil degress have or had conflicted views on God but never claimed to be atheists
