Where Is God In Our Everyday Lives? by logicboy: 2:14pm On Apr 06, 2012
Are you reading this? If yes, then you are using a computer.
Are you a Nigerian and do you drive? If yes, then there is a more than 50% chance you drive or have driven a Toyota/Honda
Do you watch TV? If yes, then you probably use a Toshiba/Sony/Samsung/Sharp/Lg product.


1) If you use a computer, it is either Windows or Apple (or sometimes Linux).
- Bill Gates, the founder of Windows, is an agnostic
- Steve Jobs, the late CEO of Apple, is a Zen Buddhist
- Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, who are big names when it comes to Linux, are atheists.

2)If you have drive a honda or toyota, which are the some of most common cars in Nigeria (especially Toyota)
- Toyota and Honda are both Japanese companies; Japan is a country in which most of its citizens (64%) do not believe in God.

3)If you use a Samsung/Toshiba/Sony/Sharp/LG television;
- Samsung/Toshiba/Sony/Sharp/LG are all products of countries in which majority of the population do not believe in God (South Korea and Japan)



The question is if we use so many products made by atheists/agnostics in our personal lives, what right do we have to say that they are going to hell?

The other question is why does religion especially Christianity and Islam contribute less to the solutions of human problems of today in terms of technology, science and better government compared to atheism and agnosticism? (most peaceful countries are less religious)

yet atheists has a very small population in the world despite 'contributing so much' solutions to human problems, with God believers out numbering the non believers. what an irony

For the facebook users, Mark Zuckerberg is an atheist
Re: Where Is God In Our Everyday Lives? by Gerrard59(m): 7:50pm On Apr 06, 2012
@Logicboy-Mark zuckerberg is a jew and not an atheist.

Re: Where Is God In Our Everyday Lives? by logicboy: 8:47pm On Apr 06, 2012
Zuckerberg is a Jew by race/birth but he is an atheist

Buddhism doesn't hold a belief in a personal God which even suits me as an atheist but still, I dont believe in any religion

America is highly developed and religious, no doubt. But is America a peaceful country compared to other countries? USA ranks in 82nd, Japan 3rd.

Furthermore, America is experiencing a growth in Atheism.

YOUR LOGIC IS FLAWED. JUST BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE CHOOSE TO LABEL THEMSELVES BY MAN MADE TAGS DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE. IF YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE YOUR SURNAME AND THEN GO ON TO PRODUCE A TV, DOES THE FACT THAT YOU MADE THE TV UNDER A DIFFERENT SURNAME MEAN YOU WERE NOT FROM YOUR DAD ? ALL THOSE THINGS (ZEN BUDDHISM, ATHEISTS ETC ETC ) ARE JUST TAGS. THEY ARE LABELS PEOPLE PUT ON THEMSELVES TO ASSUME AN AIR OF SPIRITUAL IMPORTANCE.

Sorry, I thought that you were a christian because I saw you on another topic explaining something with the bible.
Your argument favours an atheistic view. You seem to focus on our humanity in the sense that there is capacity to do good irrespective of religion or labels

OK LogicBoy,agreed Mark is an atheist,even china,singapore,Hong kong e.t.c are either secular,agonostic or atheistic. But i think what Africa needs is secularity and not atheistism. Look @ Brazil today,mexico,india-these are religious countries and are doing well economically. Agree that countries that are less religious are more peaceful than their opposite. But in terms of crime,Britain is secular or atheistic but the crime rate is high,same for suicide rates high in south korea,taiwan and their baba japan.
Am a secularist{cant remember when last i went to church}, but i firmly beleive that there is a GOD in this world. Tell me how can all the wonders in the world would just form like that? Abi you be APE?

1) Japan is more peaceful than Britain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Peace_Index#Global_Peace_Index_rankings
2) Africa needs atheism. Atheism solves the problem at once- no belief in spiritual world therefore no burning of witches, no superstitions and a focus on science and humanity.
3) Yeah, how does rain fall? Before there was science, people would say that rain came from heaven. The point is that just because we do not know where something came from, we shouldnt just assume that it came from God
4)Brazil and Mexico are known for gang violence. Brazil is one of the emerging economies but unlike more developed economies the poverty in Brazil is massive

However, I am happy that you're a secular person grin

Waoh, atheism is solution all our problems then, except that atheists usually commit suicide, are sinners like other sinners, also lose, fail, experience agonizing deaths, live in poverty, get sick, etc. Atheists and their evangelisms, my religion is better than yours show.

Wow...keep lying.

1) Atheists usually commit suicide? Have you any scientific study to show that atheists are more suicide prone than religious people?
2) Atheism is not a religion
3) What is your religion if you are not an atheist?

Go do your research, the fastest growing belief in the world is Atheism.
Re: Where Is God In Our Everyday Lives? by Nobody: 7:25am On Apr 08, 2012
The answer is very simple and it goes like this,

'Give a man fish, you feed him for a day,
Teach him how to catch fish, he will feed himself for a life-time
Give him religion, he will starve to death while praying for fish.
