Christians are always sensitive.. when it comes to God and what he owns.. if you discover medicine from plants, they tell you God is responsible because he gave you brain and without him you could not have done anything.. why not bloody create vaccines for AIDS and toss them from Heaven like you tossed Manna in the days of old.. abi Internet neva reach heaven...Hiaaaan

Of course God is responsible. How come the plant so conveniently had the kind of medicine which would be specifically beneficial to man?

Of course God expects us to make discoveries of what he has so graciously given to us. These DISCOVERIES is part of his glory. The fact that we know we did not have a hand in the origin of what we DISCOVERED makes it awesome and let's us see how limited we are and had w dependant we are on all the creations we have around us and how specifically beneficial they are to us.

The cure for HIV is already here but the discovery is all we are waiting for.

To discover something means the thing was once hidden often times in plain sight and only a deliberate search made it manifest.

Atheism is gaining ground.
It's becoming globally popularly and surprisingly Nigeria has also caught this bug.

Only that Naija atheists are not real atheists; they
are mostly confused losts soul who think visiting native doctors and using charms makes them atheists.

Just a few of these self-professed atheist are logical, rational souls who understand the true concept of atheism.
You are not an atheist because you neither go to church nor mosque, you are an atheist because you are spiritually independent.



SOMETIMES YOU TALK WITHOUT WISDOM..
IN FACT, YOU ALWAYS TALK WITHOUT WISDOM.

THE PEOPLE WHO GO TO NATIVE DOCTORS ARE NOT ATHEISTS. THEY'RE CALLED "TRADITIONALISTS", AND THEY BELIEVE IN TRADITIONAL RITUALS AND ANCIENT POWERS.

BEFORE YOU EVER TALK ABOUT ATHEISM AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE, TRY TO HAVE A CLUE ON WHAT IT TRULY IS.
WE KNOW YOU'RE HAPPY WITH ALL THESE LIKES BUT.. YOU JUST HAVE TO SHOW SENSE SOMETIMES.

THANKS.

Shut your mouth abeg. You are the ignorant one. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in the existence of God or gods or rejection of the existence of God or gods. Other than this an atheist can believe in anything else. He can believe in ghosts, rocks, juju, charms etc . as long as they do not deify it they are alright with that so NwaAmaikpe is very correct and you are just ignorant on a hyper scale.

Atheists do not listen to THEIR SPIRIT. Atheists do not believe in FAITH.

Deists do not listen to THEIR SPIRIT.

I am sure you can read.

Besides he is simply following the advice given to him by Mike Tyson and I quote below

"When he focuses on money, or girls, or whatever it is outside of fighting, things are going to go downhill. You can only focus on fighting. No religion, nothing. You can only focus on that when the fight is over."

He is deliberately keeping the controversy of religion out of the picture but he is still dropping hints that he is very spiritual and full of faith and believes in the power of prayer. Something atheists and deists deny.

Samson comes to mind
He was strong, anointed for great things
But he did not acknowledge God till the end...

May that not be his portion
Samson as far as we're concerned is a fictional character, and for every one person who was first unbeliever turned believer there's another believer turned unbeliever or unbeliever remained unbeliever. The acknowledgement of the Christian God is not the only possible outcome even though it happens.

Everyone has the right to believe in whoever they want to. You don't need to convince anyone that there's no God. The way you call them fools for believing in God is also the same way they have the right to say you're a f00l for not believing.

World Heavyweight Boxing champion, Anthony Joshua has given an hint that he’s an atheist. This he did on twitter where he posted a picture showing himself meditating in a boxing ring, probably before a fight. The heavyweight champion who gained the title after knocking out Wladmir Klitschko accompanied the photo with the below caption.



The post didn’t sit well with some fans of his who wondered what he really meant by the statement.

See screenshots below.

So, when he looses his next match, it will prove to him there is God? Your reasoning is just too shallow. Anyone that believes the existence or otherwise of God is personal. It is his right. AJ his one of the greatest boxers of all times. Currently holds four of the five belts.

Really?

Quotes from Joshua.


"I don't have a preferred religion: I'd have to do research. I was born a Christian but as I've grown into my own man I don't attach myself to a religion; 100 per cent I have faith. Then it's locking into what suits me

And

Religion is supposed to be a positive thing. When you look at the true religions around the world, not the fundamentalists.

You always have to go with what your spirit tells you not what people advise you. I’m a man that will always follow my own path.

“One of my best friends is a Muslim guy and we were in Dubai, which is (in) an Islamic country.

“We were on a tour of Dubai and we went to the mosque and it was afternoon prayer so I asked him to pray for me ahead of the Klitschko fight, for good will."

This is why I changed your moniker to mumuhumanist because you are too dumb to reason.

So you see, you are not just confused and a mumu, but are also a liar for calling me a liar.

This only shows that both the atheists religious people on Nairaland are all illiterates. Didnt u guys see that it was a quote? He quoted someone from a book. To the atheists, the quote is actually from a book Buddhist (religious person). Actually, Anthony is a Christian and once said "God has a hand in his career" He said he goes to church with his mum but not often.

This is your own fabrication despite all I posted. He believes in his inner spirit yet allows his born again best friend to pray for him while he kneels and also followed his other Muslim best friend to pray in a mosque. I guess people who believe in their own inner spirit still depend on another unseen force whom they pray to right? grin

And it also shows they have faith in themselves when they pray to God right? grin

Dummy overload.

Meanwhile he made his quote from a book and here is an extract

Respect the gods and Buddhas, but do not rely on them.
Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy

there is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists.
Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings

He has 4 titles now and is aiming for number 5.

He is simply talking about FOCUS. Despite the prayers and faith, he has focus. Which matches scripture. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.

Only monkies reason like you do and that's probably because you believe you evolved from apes.
