I have come to the conclusion that many people today are atheists, because they abhor the possibility of a righteousness GOD.

A righteous GOD if he were true in their opinion , will be a show spoiler and stopper for their numerous indulgences and ungodly life styles

This may be true, but likely applicable to atheists in a minority. Many are unable to reconcile seemingly ‘bad’ events in the world with a righteous God able to intervene and make good things happen.

You get questions like - why doesn’t God stop famines or genocide? Why does he allow ‘good’ people to suffer?

In my view, many are atheists because they cannot comprehend God - they cannot understand how/why God can permit certain things to happen and yet be good, and why he chooses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.

If God does not fit what they ‘expect’ of him (a self-determined expectation, not God’s revelation of himself) then their conclusion is to reject His existence.

Righteous God? What exactly do you mean by that? If endorsing slavery, accepting human and animal sacrifice, war warmongering, racial discrimination, and the unnecessary killing of humans, teaching of stupid and unrealistic pacifism is what you call righteousness God then, yes no atheist will want anything to do with such a God because that is what he seems to be doing in the bible. . .

You are right.  Atheists have no excuse for not believing in the Creator God because the truth is revealed to us in nature,

What in a nature bears your God's name or signature?. . . .Your evidence to show that every thing we see in ature was created by your God alone and not Allah or any of the pantheon of Hindu Gods is WHAT?. . . .

our consciences,


What in our consciousness points to Yahweh as the creator of all things, where is his signature in the human consciousness?. . .

the Moral Law,


But ALL moral laws were formed by humans, morality must be learnt, it is not objective and varies from place to place. . .Morals laws are formed by humans and they evolve all the time that is why what is considered moral today might be immoral tomorrow, try practicing half of the mortal laws of the OT and you will be in prison for the rest of your life. . .If prophets like Moses, Jehum Joshua are alive today and try half of what the bible said they did they will be classified as war criminals and be in the same ranks as Hitler, Mussolini etc. . .
the illustration of Christ,

But the entire story of Jesus was written by people that never meet him. . .NON of the writers of the Gospels ever said they meet Jesus, or where with him, what we have are 2nd or 3rd accounts of stories written by men who never said they knew him or meet him, but wrote very contradictory accounts of events about him that cancel each other out why is the Jesus illustration better than the Mohammed, Julius Ceaser, Apollos of Tiyana, Adams Smith or any other illustration of God man or religious founder out there?

the inspired Scripture,

All religious scriptures claim this, the Koran is not only inspired but the real words of the creator of the universe, go and read it because it says so in the Koran just as the bible says it is inspired. . .

the testimony of believers and I believe that if they diligently seek for the truth God will manifest Himself to them (John 14:21-23).

What about the testimony of other believers, that's believers of other religions?. . . .Allah manifest himself to the over 1.5 billion muslims, no?. . . .The various hindu Gods manifist themselves to the over 1 billion hindus, no? They have so many testimonies about this revelations and manifestations. . .Even aliens manifest themselves to many people around, they have written books about their revelations from aliens, the books are every where if you want to read them. . . .

You need to read and see for yourself the testimonies of people who were former atheists, pagans, muslims and other religious or non religious people whose lives had been transformed when they encountered Christ.  Jesus guarantees you that anyone who loves and obeys Him will begin a supernatural relationship with Him and the Father (John 14:21).  Why don't you give Him a chance in your life?

Even if you don't believe the Jesus' 'stories' do you believe today's date, your date of birth or whatever dated record you keep? Did you realise that all the years before and after Christ are what we use? even though you atheists try to change it to before and after the common era but that is too late, unless you want to change your date of birth. shocked All the founders of the religions of the world including the evolutionist religion, humanism are all dead and buried?

Ask your travel agent to show you the way to Israel and when you get there begin your investigation on where the empty tomb is located.  This is what a skeptic Frank Morison set out to do so as to disprove the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ but ended up having an encounter with the King of kings and Lord of Lords, he eventually wrote the book 'who moved the stone'. So put your money where your mouth is and get down to the business of investigative journalism instead of just sitting behind your keyboard.

Your time will be spent better on educating those who have a yearning for Jesus and or want to know the truth.

Many of these people have had the gospel presented to them since their youth and they have outrightly rejected it.

So let us move on.

I personally have given up on wasting my time with aimless discussions and resultant blasphemies against Christ.

Once thing is certain, Judgement day is fast approaching and we shall all give account of our conduct , words and thoughts while on earth.

Matthew 12 : 36 - I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak

"I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds.Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire." - Revelation 21:12-15

True, but I am also aware of those diligent seekers of the truth who are at cross roads of their faith who are also following our discussions, many of them get their faith shipwrecked by the seeds of doubt being constantly spread by these atheists.

You are either quite unintelligent and not able to comprehend simple sentences or you are a mendacious rabble rouser.

Your beloved article says this:  Mr Cameron's claim has been attacked by archaeologists and theologians as unfounded.Archaeologists said that the burial cave was probably that of a Jewish family with similar names to that of Jesus.

James Cameron is simply a movie producer seeking to increase his sales.

Secondly, how can you say there are two empty tombs that are referenced and say that no such tomb exists? It seems the reality is that your mind is also an empty tomb. grin

I will disagree with you here that the precise location is known. . .If it is known then it would have long been pointed out don't you think so?. . . .Remember this is said to be the tomb of the creator of the universe himself who came as a human being, the claim is quite extra ordinary you know. . .

The extraordinary nature of the occupant of the tomb does not take away the fact that he was buried in an ordinary tomb - quite common for that day and age. For all you know, someone else was buried in the tomb years later.

According to tradition his disciples had been venerating his tomb since after he allegedly resurrected. . .They wont allow another person to be buried there cos the status of the tomb had already changed, it was no longer an ordinary tomb. . .

Are you ignorant of the times the Ottomans took over the land called Palestine? Do you think veneration of the tomb could have been permitted during that time?

If the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed, it is not inconceivable that the tomb could have been destroyed during occupation by hostile invaders.

There are a multitude of possible reasons why the tomb's location is not known today.

@OLAADEGBU it does not matter, we care about the scientist not where the woman gave birth to twins or not. That's what matters in science. And only someone ignorant actually thinks most great scientists believe in God. Maybe what you need is a lesson on how to use google.

What matters most is consistency in what the scientists belief. A belief in molecule to man evolution is not necessary to understanding how planets orbit the sun, the rise in technology or how plants and animal function. It doesn't contribute anything to our understanding of empirical science. To do science you have to use logic and God created a logical, orderly universe and gave us the ability to reason and to be creative. A belief in evolution cannot aid the development of complex machines because these are intelligently designed it did not rise out of random chance. If a scientist who is an atheist evolutionist wants to do science he must be consistent with his theory of randomness and chance to do science and since this is not done then they are not being consistent with their theories. Science and technology are perfectly consistent with the Bible and so the scientists who believe in God are only being consistent with what they believe.

Are you ignorant of the times the Ottomans took over the land called Palestine? Do you think veneration of the tomb could have been permitted during that time?

If the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed, it is not inconceivable that the tomb could have been destroyed during occupation by hostile invaders.

There are a multitude of possible reasons why the tomb's location is not known today.

This makes it more funny, why then do christians keep deluding themselves and lying to each other that the empty tomb still exist? OLAADEGBU keeps saying this, but when you ask him to tell you where it is located he then turns around and stats lying all over the place. . . People pay money to travel from all parts of the world to go and visit the two sites that really have nothing to do with the real tomb, doesn't the truth matter to people any more? The first person to draw my attention to the existence of the two different tombs is a christian historian and an apologist name William Lance Craig, he said  the two tombs people visit have nothing to do with the real tomb of Jesus, because his real tomb remains unknown till this date. . . .Why is it that every trace about the historical Jesus is almost non existent and problematic?. . .No empty tomb, nothing, just 2nd hand and 3rd hand stories about him by others that never claimed to know written about 50-100 years after he allegedly resurrected . . . .Interesting. . .

@OLAADEGBU well unfortunately for you it is , and is verifiable, like science. very unlike your fairy tales,
The same methodology that brought you medicine, the internet, is used in all facets of science.
And the same methodology that brought you machetes on muslims faces in Nigeria, the crusade, the inquisition is the same one you are using to right now.
Why don't pray for your God to create a computer, let's see how far that will go
