Let us stop deceiving ourselves on nairaland, there is nothing like atheism here, it is just a game. Why are they always in doubt when it comes to the existence of God, they are never sure, why? There is an inner voice asking them the same question: do you really think God does not exist? God2man. 1 Like |

Funny thing is, these people who say there is no God when in trouble try to look for supernatural powers by going to a witch doctor, herbalist, crystal ball reader, mediums and the likes. They believe in supernatural powers or forces but don't believe in God. Your unbelief does not change the fact that there is a God who created the universe, He holds the world by the power of His word. |

Kay 17: ^^ I do not mean to be disrespectful but lumping "sufferings, sins and devil" in this context is unintelligent. Show some intelligence by treating this words in their "cause and effect" order then you'll deserve an answer from me. |

There are forces existing among us beyond our comprehension. We cant fully prove the existence of God but i tell you one thing i know for sure, Evil exists...Satan and his comrades exists. There is a lot science cant explain. For people in the west juju and other spiritual medium mit seem a lie, for us here i cant tell you this powers really exist. I witnessed with my very eyes a robber being shot many times at close range but he just dusted it and escaped |

ssii: Funny thing is, these people who say there is no God when in trouble try to look for supernatural powers by going to a witch doctor, herbalist, crystal ball reader, mediums and the likes. They believe in supernatural powers or forces but don't believe in God. Your unbelief does not change the fact that there is a God who created the universe, He holds the world by the power of His word. That is just false. I'm an atheist and I dont believe in God or any supernatural powers. I rather choose science and scientists that have brought us computers, drugs, weapons, mobile phones and television than some pastor that slaps girls or a book written by cavemen. I dont believe in God because of slavery....that's when I stopped being a christian- when I learnt that slavery is regulated in the bible and Christianity came into Nigeria with slavery. Quotes from the bible; Leviticus 25:44 "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 1 Peter 2:18 "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh." Titus 2:9 "Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them" What about God having a chosen people (Isrealites)......is that not racist? Why did God talk to only Jews? Why did he not talk to West Africans? Christianity did not come to West Africa until the 15th/16th century with slavery. Look at the old testament; From Abraham to Moses to Jesus- Jews. All humans are created equal be it Jew or black or white but the biblical God is a racist. Furthermore, How is the Christian God different from Zeus or Allah or Ogun or Odin? Every religion claims that their God is real, why is yours better? Lastly, why does God allow suffering? Why weren't you born in Somalia and starving? Is it because youi prayed hard or are holier than Somalians? Or it is their destiny to be sufferers? No. God does not exist. |

Also, on the cross, before Jesus said, it is finished, He said, Father forgive them for they know not what they doing. So the sin that the child was born into is not same as the sin we committed in person . . . . So that child aint going into no hell but heaven, till such a child is old enough to commit those sins.
