stop lying sire...

I quoted your original comment and it was so...
That was why i said ''atheist don block your head''

your obsession with atheism is becoming something that need to be checked undecided

The day you see me declare for atheism you can shoot me dead. Not after all the wonderful experiences God has shown me and put me through so gracefully and deliberately.

Life is good and getting better daily and i am indeed grateful to God the giver and keeper of my life.

Because we have not SEEN this creator. If a god can create all of this, then where is it? In the mind of it's followers? undecided

I wanted to respond with a long post but no .

According to hahn , because I've not seen who designed the chair I'm sitting on , therefore the designer does not exist .

hahn:
Theists claim that there is a creator but there are over 4200 religions in the world. Which god is the correct one if it exists?

I argue for a created universe , a complex functional orderly system and not the nature of the creator .


hahn:
I am not a scientist. All I know is that there is no proof that any god exists and we do not know the origin of the world. If god exists, we wouldn't be arguing about it the same way we do not argue about the existence of the sun undecided

We can observe some part of the universe and from our observation , the universe has been proven to have a beginning . This only suggests one thing , it was caused to exist .

People who argue against the existence of God are living in denial .

hahn:
Theists believe the world was created but the creator was not created. That is a logical absurdity undecided

How is a logical absurdity ? Please explain .


hahn:
And your proof of this beginning is?

1. The universe keeps expanding

2. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity indicates that the universe was an effect , not a cause . It was caused to exist

3. Galaxies keep moving apart from each other . It only indicates that they were closer at some point .

4. The radiation echo / The afterglow of the Big Bang

My discovery that Jehovah doesn't exist? It is the same reason why you do not believe and follow Allah and other 4200 gods. Very simple

I meant the creator of the universe .

Why acknowledge something that has not been proven? By your logic, we might as well acknowledge the existence of Santa claus since that will be "a big step towards understanding Its nature" undecided

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
This is simply because Atheist are scared of talking about Atheism to Muslims, or mocking their faith.

You guys would be lynched immediately grin Muslims no get time for nonsense talk.
Even your Chief Atheist Atheist here on Nairaland, locked Muslim section. U must take an oath before you are allowed to comment grin

You guys exploit the cool handedness of Christians, that's why u keep mocking the Christian religion and Bible.
Every Atheist can post shiit about Christianity on Facebook or other social media, try that with Islam..

The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. It is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick. One of the best known of the St. Nicholas stories is that he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their father by providing them with a dowry so that they could be married. Over the course of many years, Nicholas’s popularity spread and he became known as the protector of children and sailors. His feast day is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, December 6. This was traditionally considered a lucky day to make large purchases or to get married. By the Renaissance, St. Nicholas was the most popular saint in Europe. Even after the Protestant Reformation, when the veneration of saints began to be discouraged, St. Nicholas maintained a positive reputation, especially in Holland.

Santa claus is a Legend. He is not Real. He was built around Saint Nicholas. Even you should know this.

DangotePikin:
the context in which he used religion is a belief in a supreme being which is clearly not within the confines of atheism. I also like the fact that he gave a direct "NO" as an answer when asked about atheism. He was a religious rationalist, but NEVER an atheist.

Seun opened a counter thread on this and this is his quote


Seun(m): 2:48pm
On facebook, in reply to his Christmas and Hanukkah greeting, someone asked Mark Zuckerberg, "but aren't you atheist?" He replied, "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://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10103363940448171

This is unfortunate. If not for the explicit "no", I would have said that he was dodging the question, but he said it. He threw atheism under the bus. He has made it very clear to everybody that he doesn't identify as an atheist and doesn't want to be considered as an atheist. Bless him. This doesn't mean he's not an atheist, of course; an atheist is simply someone who doesn't hold a belief in the existence of any God.

I don't believe for one second that Mark believes in the existence of the Jewish God. The one who forbade Jews from eating pork instead of teaching them how to cook it properly. Who created foreskins to protect the sensitive tips of male organs, but then ordered the Jews to cut them off their newborn babies. Who permitted Jews to enslave foreigners and treat them as property, even though he created all people. Who made women menstruate but then declared that a menstruating woman is unclean, and anyone who touches her - even her husband - is also unclean. Who banished children of single parents and their descendants from entering his temple for 400 years (the 10th generation).

I don't believe that Mark believes in that God. And since he hasn't talked about any other God, I continue to believe that he is an atheist. He may choose to call himself an agnostic, a cultural Jew, or whatever helps Facebook and his family, but that doesn't mean he's not an atheist.


I have never seen this much pain in one person in a long time. He is hurting bad over this news so much so that he is now debating with himself. He is asking the questions and answering the question all by himself. Is this not gradually becoming a psychiatric episode?

If anyone has Seuns number please call him o before we begin to hear stories that touch.
