Atheists!!!! What If There Is A God? by Master6(m): 10:41am On Jun 07, 2012
The only reason I feel there should be a God is simply because contemporary science has failed to provide a reasonable answer to d questn of who created d universe.

What if there is a God, but not in d common religious sense of the word, what if he isn't perfect, isn't completely just and all dat stuff d religious organizations preach! What if there are errors in his design, what if he isn't all powerful nd can't really defy logic.

Then there isn't a God, not the God the religious preach, but there is a God, in d sense of him jst being the creator.

More over, what really kickstarted religion was the d need for man to explain d seemingly unexplainable.

What are ur tots, atheists??

if such a creator exists, why should I bother myself about him?

At least you do seem open-minded (a rare quality with religious folks). If it happened that a Creator does exist, I would say - To the gallows with him grin It takes a huge impression to have a fan following that is responsible for hundreds of social problems the world over. I could take some lessons in mass-hypnosis because 40+ million Nigerians no be small thing. that could prove useful for Governance in most African states. He could be useful for the Scientific Community as well - cloning would be done-away with for creation instead, people will have wings instead of taking DANA Airlines. y'know it might not be such a bad idea if the Scientific Community could harness God properly without the violent temperament displayed through the ages. Finally both sides can contribute to the greater good of human kind.

On the flip side. What if There is no God? your thoughts wink

Have you considered that you're asking a badly phrased question? What I mean is that the universe may not have been created by a person or people.

With respect to the sort of God you're referring to, I would see no reason to bother myself with such a God.

I see where you're coming from. I'm an Agnostic and have thesame ideology as an Atheist because I believe all religious gods are false and man made but I dont know if there is a supreme being some where and I dont care because he/she/it doesnt rule the affairs of man if at all he/she/it exists

That's exactly my point: why should I give a fvck if he doesn't? And why should he? Do you know how tiny we are in our solar system? Do you know how microscopic our solar system is in our galaxy? do you know how insignificant our galaxy is in the observable universe?

All we know for now is that there was a big bang beyond that, I don't know. And I don't know if we could know due to the nature of the concepts involved.

You're referring to a God who just creates the universe and leaves. In such a case, why should I bother with him since he doesn't bother with me?

As a recently acknowledged atheist myself, I congratulate you on your freedom from brutal,ridiculous lies propagated by religions.
I will advise you to be careful with this religionists. Even here, their argument is always more or less strawman. Like that platinga guy.
Once again, congratulations on taking control of your brain.

Not really. Internet exposes one to a lot of information which makes you to see the world from a bigger perspective and query many of the information you've been fed with from birth. People are generally deprived of information in Nigeria that's why the reasoning is narrow and one way.

Good question. So lets assume that god exists somewhere. Good. the atheist has absolutely nothing to lose. An Omnipotent and omniscience being would be far too lofty for our tiny unused brains to comprehend, so we must always make up fables to fill in the (very wide)gaps.
If god exists, he would be mighty proud to have watched our beginnings from the primordial soup to unicellular organisms, from simple celled to the complex machines we have evolved into, and finally to the thinking and questioning spiritual beings we are becoming.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth". The athiests are the meek, for it is they who show bravery by discarding age old myths, fables and hand-me-downs, and who, with child-like meekness, are able to ask sensible questions about god and his creations.

God would be very proud of athiests. Which parent does not feel proud to see his child grow and mature? which parent is ever happy to see his child still stuck in infancy by clinging on to the belief in fairy tales like santa clause, easter bunny or cartoon characters?
If god exists, then the athiests are the ones who have paid the best homage to god by questioning his existence and searching for his footprints.
If god exists,then obviously he gifted us with an infinite mind for us to question and explore the infinite universe.
If god exists, then religion stands to be the greatest insult to him and the religious folks might bear the brunt of his disappointment because for a very long time, religion
has re.tarded the intellectual ,and even, spiritual potential of humankind.

@ post..

Well, physicists and scientists can explain almost everything up until 10^6 of a second after the big bang. for me, that is good enough. I'll rather have half logic and room to improve on thinking than having someone tell me god put us here to "watch" over what he created. And we must give him praises.

A good way to look at the religious gods is to go back to their origin and see what was going on at that time. Kings ruling over people, people giving praises to the king to make him happy, king blessing his subjects with wealth and all that. For those who don't believe in the king will be put to death. Classic. You can see traces of crap like that in the bible. And that's where I should find answer to life hardest questions??

Colonialism is gone but their religion still stays!! lets pause and ponder!!

Talking about deciet: who is decieved here?
Someone who dont believe what he was told or someone who believed it ?
Just like your phucking pasttors and scamming MOGs, you contradict yourself every now and then. Anybody who says that god exists doesnt know the english meaning of existence.

Deluded shallow minded ..... Thats what u called us atheists.... God must be so pleased with you now for fighting his war for him..

And why would i want to do that? Or is it because he's not strong enough to do that by himself?

Now you listen to me, i'm not here for argument, the only problem i do have with you guys is your passion to infest others with your venum of a believe, cant you just keep it to yourself and die with it if you feel like instead of corrupting other with you deluded perception about God and religion.

please keep it to yourself, i know one thing for sure, those who are destined to find God would definately come in contact with his divine self someday.
And stop being an agent of darkness you are without even knowing it.
