frankly, i don't see the use of this thread. is it just me or is it that tha name should have been,"Why i never believed in God." that's right because you never believed in God. rather what we Christians can do for Seun and other atheists is pray that God touches their hearts in special. remember we are to seek Him.
prayer is what they really need.
what seun and other atheists don't realize is that, atheism is a religion itself. they oppose and speak, so to speak, against Christianity, or the existence of God. atheism is religion based on self. look deep

Ha,
But you've seen his 'works'. Therefore he must exist. Yes, but he left evidence behind pointing to his undeniable existence. Although I have the impression that sometimes evidence of other people's existence disappears  What evidence? How am I so sure the admin is a male as he claims to be? How am I so sure a human is the one running this site, and not some set of robots that ban people for stupid reasons? What evidence does the admin have for his existence? |

right now i am reading all the text and i don't mind been banned from these site but i want you all to know something i am nor referring to one person but to all of us God has manifested himsself in a large way through his son Jesus Christ would died for you and me he is the reason we are all alive today and he uses different ways to call our attention to him i was born a Christian but i have had my own share of tears too my baby brother died at the tender age of 14 in an auto mobile accident my elder brother was the person driving but he didn't die so God was compassionate he didn't take both of them he still left one so while we were mourning we were still thanking God for saving one and taking the other one to a rest place the bible says a Christian can't do without passing through temptation but the temptation would not overcome us and it brings us closer to work we even have to be grateful to God because he gave us his only begotten son that whosoever believe innhim shall not perish but have eternal life so anything that happens, happens for good for those in Christ Jesus you should read the book of john and you would appreciate god the more yes people that don't believe in God things are going right for them but the bible says yes they flourish now but they shall be cut short but if you stay with God now and you endure all the pain and you are steadfast in your relationship to God he will definitely make you path straight and make things Right psalm 126 verse 6 says He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him so it only looks as if it is along time but God is there and he is working.

I used to think Seun exists until the day he banned me. How can a forum administrator ban his member for NO REASON? I don't think such a human exists. Besides, I haven't seen him before so how can I possibly believe he exists? Others might have seen him before, but since I have not seen him myself, he doesn't exist!  Hahaha! Goodguy, you have a point there o! I think the site came to be by evolution or Big Bang and still exists by evolution. From all Nairaland's pro-evolutionists' extensive explanation and copy-pasting, I now understand that when you post a new topic, this site evolves and it appears on the main page. When you make an unacceptable post, this site evolves itself and the post disappears. This proves beyond reasonable doubt that there is no Admin behind this website. He simply does not exist.  Ha,
But you've seen his 'works'. Therefore he must exist.
The same way we have seen God's 'works'! Therefore he must exist! |

Yes, you're right. And in addition to that, even if an admin exists, he will be contradicting himself. The site encourages freedom of speech but when a post that does not support the admin's own point of view is made, it gets deleted (evolution in action). Also, if an admin truely exists, he certainly won't be the one that bans members for stupid reasons, because I believe the one who designed this site is very intelligent, but that intelligence is not exhibited at all by the one who claims to be the admin. Therefore, if he exists at all, he is not intelligent enough to have created nairaland; and if he created nairaland, he certainly isn't the one that bans people. Two totally different people. . . . And don't be surprised if our posts evolve into something else before tomorrow.  |

Seun asked if we'D be promoting Islam if our parents were muslims.
I've given that a lot of thought before and I thank God my parents are christians. If I was born into Islam, and had the same conviction and love I have now as a christian, I'D be promoting Islam.
As someone noted, I must say that christianity isn't hereditary. Christianity is peculiar, in that, you can't be forced to be a christian. You can be forced to go to church and even pray, but Jesus said that even some of those who perform miracles in His name do not belong to Him. God has no grandchildren, Christianity, true Christianity, is a very personal thing. Your parents can give you the foundation, you, not even your pastor, must do all the building. Christianity is more of a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus than a religion as we are used to.
Usually, I'm not one to promote anything; I believe that people can believe whatever they want, in the end those who chose right would be happy and vice versa. That doesn't apply to christianity, as God expects His children to share His burden for unbelievers. However, the reason I now promote christianity is because I've been on the other side and know there's a big difference u only see after u're on God's side again.

It is normal for children to internalise what is forced upon them by their parents when they are very young. Going to church, hearing sermons every month when you are young, participating in "soul-winning" and bible memory instruction, and things like that cause the Christian ideas to become a part of your life, such that you can't imagine living without believing.
The idea that there must be a God, that he sometimes answers prayers, that life is meaningless without God, that morality is based on "the word of God" are forced into you as a child and they become part of your thinking pattern and emotions, which is why you have that steadfast, unexplainable belief that the Christian way is the right way. Proponents of other religions feel exactly the same way, and each religious group finds the other groups disgusting.

Let us ALL leave Seun alone. Let us now pray for him and his likes. Because we love him and God loves him too, we need to commit him to Gods hand.
His Holy Ghost has the power to convince him, for we as men can do nothing of our own; but it is the Lord who can do all things. Let Him glorify his name through Seun, so that ALL men may know that there's only one true God and that Jesus, his begotten Son, is the one whom he has sent to redeem all men from their sins.
Peace.

So sad so many people suffer from this mass delusion called religion What a waste of time I only hope it truly gives you what you want. oh sure it does, and by the way a delusion is a strong pervasive disorder of thought which a person holds to be true despite the fact that it is inconsistent with the holders social beliefs, so i think its a reverse order use here. Would you people prefer me as a "non-practicing Christians" rather than atheist?
Actually you call the shots, i personally don't know the difference between blue or navy. Its either you live for christ or you do not, a non practising christian and an atheist are just mirror images. |

Seun,
Even though I respect you for the choice you seem to have made for your self. I'll only advice you to research further into various beliefs and try to draw up conclusions based on what you are able to gather. If you get confused, pose the questions to others on Nairaland to be better enlightened.
God surely exists, but it takes your will power to seek Him out.

Seun has clearly already 'researched' as much as he can about religion(s) and I'm sure that he will continue to look and question religion.
Why don't you tell him what it is that he has missed in his quest for the truth. Inquiring minds want to know.

Seun,
Did all those doubts you have shown towards your creator just come up or they've been there all your life?
Rather than than try to whip up sentiments or attempt to justify those blasphemous writings, my advice to you is that you repent and ammend your ways if you truely had a perfect heart towards your God.
Otherwise, you can continue with your new found friendships , with etheist and occultists until that day when you stand alone(without donnie) before the Lord to give account of every idle word you have spoken.

Seun, I don't understand why you deleted chrisd's comments a few minutes ago - unless you were personally offended by them, which is understandable (he had posted: "Same old rubbish" and "same old sh_t").
I had wanted to ask him what he meant by that, and if he is now a burgeoning atheist.

I was ill for some days (about 2, 3 weeks ago). I was taken to the hospital, doctors couldn't help matters. I was taken to church, prayed for, and immediately, the illness left. Halleluyah!!!

Actually, it was a very serious illness. It lasted for a week and some days, even after I was taken to the hospital, given an injection, took different types of drugs prescribed by the doctors, even admitted for 8 solid hours in the hospital (few days later), with a non-stop 6 hour drip session; it got worse. There was still no improvement. Then, I was taken to church (some days later), prayed for, and everything vanished instantly. (Call it whatever you like). @Donnie, thanks. |
