Christmas Bombings: God Is Powerless! by Nobody: 1:46am On Dec 30, 2011
If there is God for goodness sake! Why can’t He protect innocent churchgoers from Boko Harem killing spree, on Christmas Day? God’s powerlessness and complacency to secure believers leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of everyone watching. How followers of God were mowed down to death same day Jesus the son of God was said to have been born, will be a trending mystery of all times.

God is not a superpower as sang in Nigeria churches needlessly. God is powerless power. If God could not take the backs and fronts of His converts for safekeeping as bespeaks an omnipotent.

The USA and Germany would do better to protect their citizens from crazed religions misfits than any God which is ice cold and inexistent. Better surrender your precious life to decent country powered by incorruptible leader before you profess any God by blind faith. We should all be going through life with our eyes wide open instead of toying with manmade Gods which are worthless. So could anyone not die in vain in any Church or for any deficient deity. If God can’t protect His or Her followers and can’t fight for itself – then, you should chuck God in the trashcan. And take the control of your life into your hand before you ruin your life in any Northern church or via pastor’s deception.

What a sorry tale. It is even on the BBC how pastor Ortisejafor went on air announcing Christian’s readiness to fight back and protect their Christian cult people. I thought they have, and use to tell us about their all-powerful doer God who can do and undo. So, cant their God protect and save them anymore now – that, they want to turn outlaws? I use to ponder their over-flogged mantra of turning the other cheek when slapped. How time has changed in the negative in Nigeria since Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor became the CAN president. That man is not better than some Warri boma or jaguda. Who pay their house rents from touting and rolling gamble dice in house filled with marijuana smoke.

I have bad news for Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, his co-macho pastors and their Christian Association of Nigeria top dogs. Who’ve been spoiling for religious war between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria. I don’t know how far Christians in Nigeria can go to duel a crusade war with Islamists. Nor do I know what bravado they’re made of. But let it be told. To pastor Oritsejafor and his Christian masculine gang who have been belching a storm of religious fracas that. Muslim terrorists and political freedom fighters of Islamist cult had told USA and Donald Rumsfeld that Muslims love to die while Christians love to live or if you like, fear to die. You can take that truism or warning to Christian to the bank. The jolly happy and carefree way Muslim converts kill and die In order to forward their religious mindsets for Allah is my testimony. It was with high sprit that Middle Eastern Islamist terrorist told Christian America they’ll lose the terror fight due to their lust to live and enjoy their materialism.

I beg ordinary Christians not to hearken calls for religious war. The pastors should brace up for the battle themselves without suffering everyday Nigerians therefore. It is the common man who has been paying the price and bearing the brunt ever since.

Pastor can’t be going about with bodyguards and bulletproof cars and yearning for war between Muslims and Christians. Let pastors be on firing line in the warfront as a way of leading by good example. And this time around, none of the pastors should run away to strange country and hand over to his or her vice-pastor. Let bygones be bygones. Those who solicit religious warfare should tug it out spilling their own blood in the process. To hide in bulletproof car with enough bodyguards is deceivingly awkward for the records. As if they have no hope their God could be their saviours. According to Delta state street-smart wisecrack ‘who de cry, dey see road.’

However, it is grave madness of all times. That, some Nigerians are killing others for nothing sake for perverse religious sport. Just to satisfy the weird bloodlust of the two imported Gods to Nigeria and their sons Jesus and Muhammad. I pity Nigerians. Just see now. How the an-eye-for-an-eye philosophy of Mid-East as embedded in the two religions has come to ruin Nigeria to the ground. Jonathan shouldn’t only eat and promote cassava bread. He should henceforth start hugging and worshiping our local Gods and telling Nigerians to join him. Our local Gods and religions have never been so senselessly masculine and destructive as Muslim and Christian Gods are.

But behold! Your best bet and manifest destiny is to steer off from all Gods and religions. Whether local or imported, all Gods are nonexistent and impotent. The God-line and religious philosophy is mere Disneyland delusion. Man was not born religious. Religion started once upon a time in mans’ life around the Old Stone Age. During the Ice Ages there was no proof that man implemented with religion. During this time man had so many palavers to worry about. It was after man started to get organised and some comfortability that mankind started to toy with religion. Palaeontologists and archaeologists discovered that dead people were buried with swords, amulets during the Old Stone Age. Swords and knives are to be used to fight their ways and charms to escort the dead to hereafter.

Knife and charm to the side. If you reside in Nigeria, your salvation lies in buying bulletproof cars. And surrounding yourself with bodyguards as President Jonathan Goodluck does. Pastors Adeboye, Oyedepo, Ayo Oritsejafor might deceive converts of the superpower touch of God. But they’re not stupid enough not to employ bodyguards and buy bulletproof everything. The time has come when we all should stop distorting reality. Deceiving oneself that there is sky God. God doesn’t exist. And He has no practical empirical effect on human affairs. That is the simple reason why those Christian were murdered on Christmas Day unprotected. Take care of yourself this New Year by not attending the Church if you reside in the Northern part of Nigeria. Better still, stop going to church to enrich fraudulent Nigerian pastor as Adeboye, Oyedepo and Oritsejafor. They distort reality whilst you pay the price.

An excellent piece that I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend to all Nigerians! Believe me, God does not exist. Take charge of your life and forget about this nonsense of a thing call religion.
Re: Christmas Bombings: God Is Powerless! by manmustwac(m): 2:23am On Dec 30, 2011
Nice article. Imagine an omnipotent God allowing boko harem to kill Christians on the day that his son Jesus Christ was born and not do anything about it? Now pastors are demanding the right to defend themselves because they say the police and especially God that they worship can't do anything to help them.

Re: Christmas Bombings: God Is Powerless! by God2man(m): 2:50am On Dec 30, 2011
So, God was powerless when Jesus was tortured and died on the cross. He was also powerless when stephen was stoned to death, and many christians were given as food to lions, when they were persecuted. Let us reason. God2man.
Re: Christmas Bombings: God Is Powerless! by divinereal: 7:16am On Dec 30, 2011
We've been trying to tell these numbskulls to wake up and smell the coffee. God never helped the church goers at the christmas day bombings and allah didnt help the muslims when Israel or western powers show them pepper or when their fellow pschofanatics blow up their mosques. Thanks for sharing this article.
Re: Christmas Bombings: God Is Powerless! by manmustwac(m): 10:52am On Dec 30, 2011
@God2man
You yourself have said before in another topic that god has appeared to you in the flesh. Why don't you ask your omnipotent god next time you see him why he refused to stop boko harem? Maybe he was busy eating his Christmas dinner.
Re: Christmas Bombings: God Is Powerless! by Ogaga4Luv(m): 11:31am On Dec 30, 2011
[size=13pt]Even if God do exist i think he'll be so much afraid of the boko haram group -- cheesy cheesy that no sane person can say a lovely God is up somewhere folding his arms and legs watching down all the evils going on and doing nothing .

Gods don't exist, belief in Gods is what exist, no God can protect any body. . . . .Prayer is useless, according to reports the pastor in the said catholic church that was bombed clalimed that his God told him that all the people that attended the church that day will see the new year. . .

Imagine the silly terrorist muslims all over the world claiming that Allah is fighting along side them yet they are always been defeated by the west. . . Foooooooools. . . .

An excellent and insightful piece especially the paragraph in bold. These are the sorts of pastors and prophets we have now. They lead from their bunkers and scientifically produced armoured protection just as the pope does. Why? Isn't prayer enough? Doesn't God talk to them and tell them the exact location of the bombs before they explode? Or doesn't God have enough angels to protect them from the bomb explosion? After all, this same God saved people in lions dens, fiery furnaces and other fantastic situations. What has he been doing since then?

Anyway, for the persistent believers, here is a video for their viewing pleasure.

I had an atheist  English friend many years ago, funny enough he also mentioned that blacks had a smaller brain ( typical darwinian ) , we were close buddies, he with the big brain and me with the 'small'  grin grin.

Anyway to cut a long story short, we were working in the office one day and a small earthquake hit on richter scale of say about 4.0. The whole building swayed back and forth and there was tremendous ground movement with the associated noise. This guy with all his bravado talk and yapping at God crawled under the table like a worm , with a fear on his face that I will only ever see again in a horror movie.

What I am trying to say is that many atheists I have met are loud mouths, but beneath the veneer of their bravadosim is a fear of the unknown. A nagging thought that they just might be wrong.


Reminds me of a verse in the bible that goes :

"Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth." Isaiah 2:19

Even if he exists, I guarantee that he doesn't care either way about the fate of his so called worshippers. The day religious people stop leaving their fate in the hands of mythical creatures is the day human beings will finally start making progress. You'd think that this bitter experience would teach Nigerians some common sense, but no. We will fold our hands and pray until we're all bombed to smithereens. Madness.

Re: Christmas Bombings: God Is Powerless! by Nobody: 3:40pm On Dec 30, 2011
^^^

I will provide you with 2 spiritually discerned bible verses, hoping that God may open your eyes to understand.

Anyway here goes :

1. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.- Matthew 10:28

In other words, Christians are subject to the same dangers as all men,  but have this thing going for them, eternal salvation of their souls should death come.  Let us revisit an incident in the new testament where beloved brother Stephen was stoned to death by atheists and murderous men. Consider his reaction carefully.

Acts 7:
"Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him.But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together at him.Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul."

Here was young Stephen full of the Holy Spirit , bold in the face of death , assured of his eternal salvation.

Compare this to the other sort of men, who worry about dying 24*7 , for us Christians , death is transitory, it is no big deal. But for the lost, it is a critical moment in their existence, a bridge between their current state and eternal damnation.


2. Revelation 11:7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
    Revelation 13:7 He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation
    Daniel 7:21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them


Here we see that it is God who allowed the devil to gain Power over the saints, just like Christ did not resist his killers but is now seated at the right hand of God , till the cup of sinners is FULL.

God is exercising patience with the world while they hate, kill and ridicule his children. You will do well to peruse this scripture which I will split into 2 parts.

1. Where are those Christians who have been killed by the world , especially by Muslims and Communists :

Revelation 6:9-11
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.They shouted to the Lord and said, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?"Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters--their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred--had joined them.

2. What is the subsequent judgement and punishment of a sinful wicked world

Revelation 6:12-17
I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood.Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind.The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all of the mountains and islands were moved from their places.Then everyone--the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the wealthy, the powerful, and every slave and free person--all hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.And they cried to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to survive?"


Go figure.

What I am trying to say is that many atheists I have met are loud mouths, but beneath the veneer of their bravadosim is a fear of the unknown. A nagging thought that they just might be wrong.


Reminds me of a verse in the bible that goes :

"Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth." -  Isaiah 2:19

If you're going to make a story up, at least try to use all of your limited intellect to make it sound believable. You were friends with someone who thought you had a smaller brain?? And you worked with him without making complaints to Human Resources?  Come on man!! Was it a pet/owner kind of relationship? The earthquake you described also sounds worse than a 4.0
F#cking lying a$$ christian freak.
