First of all, a beautiful New Year to You all

Now my question is: what if you were hanging from a cliff, and the only person that could save you was an atheist. Would you take his hand if he offers to help?
And if you did, and he was able to rescue you, would you, after that event, still label atheists as immoral people incapable of being good persons and need to be redeemed?

Honest answers pls

atheist are not bad people beside everyone has the right to choose wat they believe......but the idea of trying to destroy other pipo religion simply because you want to justify urs is the reason why theist regard them that way

Hannaway:


Atheists don't suscribe to any belief system under a brand name; they just, like other rational people, try to rationalise issues facing humans with logic, reason and evidence.
Atheists are not bad people. I am not so sure that your christian folks agree with you on that.

tanks 4 the corection........it is my opinion i dont need any one to agree wit me on that

So now we have a three way religious division in naija.

Please senate should make a law where you keep your religion to yourself.

You say everyone has the right to choose what they believe. What if I chose to rape your female relative because I believed that forceful sex gives more sexual satisfaction than consensual sex?

okay..,.......i dont see any belief that permit that beside do it with sumone who share d same belief wit u because by the time you extend it to sum1 who does nt share in it ...there gonna be WAR..and that is what is kilin naija

Hannaway:

Good. Why then do christians feel it's their godly duty to bug 'unbelievers' with boring sermons? Why don't they share their gospel whatever with their fellow believers, eh?

our religion ask us to reach to 'unbelievers' to spread our faith and we are doing that...but however we dont force anyone to become a believer if you dont want it...just ask them to stop no one is gonna penalize you for that .

Hannaway:


Quite true. This is what present day christianity is all about. Christianity in its early stages, used forceful conversion to increase their numbers, and I am sure that if one checks the bible thoroughly, he will come across one or two verses in the bible that supports the deeds of early christians, although enlightened christians found the need to do away with such ideas.

the verses u are talking about are frm d old testament the religion then was judaism.....new testament never force any one become a believer...

Hannaway:

Are you saying the old testament is no longer valid?

it is valid but christianity take it teaching from the new testament because jesus came to regulate the law of the the old testament and nt to destroy it

Sure I'll take his hand, but that wouldn't make me change my mind on what atheist think of morality, what I think of their views of morality is exactly what they themselves told me.

I would take the athiest hand and pull him over the cliff with me straight down to Hell!! Then we will see who is the fool!!

Hannaway:


You are still saying the same thing but in a different way. Well, your post is not entirely true, because people still adhere to the ten 10 commandments.

jesus christ not to destroy the old testament but to modify it

Hannaway:


Let's not even go into morality from a christian view. It's dangerous.

Nah its not, christians are supposed to be at peace with all men.
