Good job ea7. We need more people like you in Nigeria to teach people how to reason more objectively. Congrats on your new converts

You just showed them the way to reason, not conversion per say. Atheism is not a religion, just a way of thought.

And what was God doing?

We are made to choose who and what we want to believe. God cannot force us as a free moral being.

Joshua 24:15 (NIV)
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

I like your view, to me its just a way of thought which is "There is a God but no religion really offers a path to him"

Atheists believe in God more than religious people. The only problem of atheists is that they are angry with God. They feel that God has offended them. Most atheists ask for forgiveness from God at the point of their deaths and many ask for God's intervention when they confront deadly situations like when you are in an aeroplane and the pilot says "this plane has gone out of control". At this point most atheists would say "God please have mercy on me. If you save me now, I would worship you forever." But once God answers this prayer and the plane lands, the atheist would continue in his atheism and says it was not God that made the plane land but was luck.

Yes. That is the fact. Atheism is a psychological condition where by someone who strongly believes in God but feels that God has been unfair to him decides to deceive himself and others that there is no God. All atheists are angry. If someone does not actually believe in God he would not go about brainwashing others. What is the need, Or has atheism become another religion?

You are a half atheist. Just as I said earlier, atheists believe in God than non atheists. Atheists are more God conscious. It is like a man who is always frightened but pretends that he is not frightened by been the first to shout and fight in any slghtest provocation. He wants to prove to people that he is bold but deep inside his psychology, he is panicking. My advice to you is never deny God. If you deny him, he will deny you.

I can see how much thirsty you are about God. I know your problem is that you have been looking and longing for God but could not find him. Just like a very thirsty man looking for water every where but could not find. So he says "there is no water". Chai! Sorry ooo ndo. But I promise you that one day you will find HIM if you keep on seeking for Him. Many years before you were concieved, there are people who do not believe in God. Newton was an atheist but later belived in God. So, my dear, you are not the first atheist or would be the last. I know something terible happened in your life that landed you to atheism. This is just the fact. And you are angry about God just like the poor are angry about wealth. The poor says money is evil beacause they could not make it.

condemn yourself to that hell before you condemn any other person because you are cheating and playing the market. you know the saying remove the shitt from your eyes before removing the speck from another.

Seriously, is there any limit to your ignorance? There u go again making a nincompoop of yourself by talking abt a subject u know nothing of. So it is bad to trade the stock market, real estate market, foreign exchange market, and even commodities such as crude oil, gold, etc etc.
Again, pls stop exposing your folly in here cos I love you too much to stand it.

Some persons deny their children and say "I have no child." Moreover, it is only muslim extremists that don't fear death. Atheists fear death more than non atheists. If you are not an atheist, you would not understand this. I still repeat that Atheists are more God concious than non Atheists.

Everyone has fear of death except one who is tired of or dissappointed with his life. That is why we have suicide. Moreover, people like Islamic extremists have their own reason for commiting suicide. So my dear, everyone has some degrees of fear for death. Even the one who is dissatisfied with his life does not find it easy to take his life away. It only takes courage to do so. However, I must tell you this. If you believe in God, there is but only one way to Him. That is Jesus Christ. Your knowledge of God would be useless without Christ. So, stop decieving yourself.

Do you really choose what to believe? Can you believe that the sun will stop shining? Or can you believe that yesterday, Nigeria finished building a space shuttle?
