And the most annoying bit. Condescending compassion.

" It is therefore our responsibility as THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD to live an exemplary live that will draw others to Christ so that their souls may be save".

-It is not your responsibility.
-You are not the light of the world.
-Mind your business and let other people live their lives.

If someone gets annoyed with all this preaching you will say atheists are rude and difficult. Nonsense.
I will mind my business by living my life as the light of the world. It is d in the nature of light to shine, and when light shines brightly darkness is dispelled automatically. Light doesn't request permission from darkness before it shines, light "minds its business" by doing what it was made for that is shining.

God bless you

And theists don't understand why atheists find them annoying.

Maybe it's because they feel that, it is pretty more sensible to believe In the existence of the supernatural and in a creator, even if your perception of the nature and personality of this creator differs. Than to utterly reject his existence as well as anything that suggests he does exist. Considering the fact that we are in a world where there are numerous anomalies, so many things that the natural mind is yet to unravel. Despite the number of scientific discoveries man has made, the number of mysteries surrounding the universe still dwarfs these discoveries. Hence the Christian views other religious ideologies as sensible in comparison with that of the atheists.

very simple
1) theists (Christians) ..... don't know what to do at the right time

2)Christians don't know how to prove to atheists their notions ....... (you really can prove to an atheist that there's God)

3) some or most Christians themselves don't know what they believe

I'm late to the party but this may be greatest write-up I've seen on Nairaland. I hope this made or will make the front page.

11/10 post. You've outdone yourself, OP.

Nice one hopefullandlord..

It's not uncommon to see this happen on every sphere. I understand when Muslims act violently towards the irreligious but show love to their religious counterpart. There's a verse in the Koran which says, "let there be no compulsion between religion." You get the hit now?

I also understand the pagan act. The fear of losing their deity and/or the disrespect by the irreligious makes them act in such manner.

The Christians are the worst. They carry their buybulls and go about with their love rant but live it opposite. I wonder if any will make it to their heaven because jezus must be tired of their acts.

I love the way you ignored that toothy fowl seeking relevance up there.

Live strong and stay broad bro.

thanks bro

Theists are evenly yoked in The Knowledge of The Supreme Spirit.
Atheists don't have "KNOWLEDGE" of The Supreme Spirit and cannot be yoked equally with Theists who are KNOWLEDGES to God.
GOD IS KNOWLEDGE.

i'm late mehn sad , i just saw ur mention

OP is a deep, well-constructed, self-explanatory piece of work, carefully moulded and coated with reality check.. my definition cool

i guess that's why i haven't found any non-ostensible counter(s). even at 4th page smiley


i'm not very expressive tho, i just need to add this; (pardon my typos)

Atheism, homosexuality, polyandry and the likes often struck people(opposites) 's nerves especially africans! reason why people who belong to these groups tend to be discreet about it, for the fear of being persecuted by the society, not excluding family members. undecided
The aforementioned posses few tattered pieces of hot coals that blow across our mind when mentioned or attributed to a figure in a society...they are believed to be some mentally-deranged, strange and dont-follow-the-norm folks. which is not wrong sad

we would outlive it sha, it's just a matter of time
..cause i believe "strange things" happen to change things smiley

480p is standard for series for pc most times you won't even notice the difference between it and 720p

Nah I notice, sometimes it's even hard to watch a show in 480 when you've watched bits in 720p.

streaming is not expensive na
Just $7 a month and you get a month free trial also
It's cheaper than buying the album but at least it's legal and it helps artists make revenue though i buy some albums i really enjoyed. Remember that if everybody pirates copies of legal content your favourite artist or actor won't make money you continue acting and i don't think you would like it if you were being pirated. Your hard work and sweat. Piracy has eaten into Nigeria and Nigerians sha
