This is the main reason why Christians should lead an exemplary life like Christ, a life worthy of emulation so that other unbelievers would be challenged and yearn more for the truth in the word of God.I didnt read alll

An atheist to me is anyone who finds pleasure in self-deceit. However, they aren't living alone in their illusory pleasure; organized religious proponents shares it with them.

An express way for any non-self-realized rational person to veer into atheism is by reading any of the falsely propagated so called holy books (undeniably great books written by the most enlightened and spirit filled individuals of the yore). The sole creator of the universe didn't inspire anyone to write a manual on his behalf - a book inspired by a perfect creator/unchangeable one can never have old and new testaments; the bible as an example.

Brain and freewill are the real tools the sole creator of the universe gave to each human being to use formulates own life manuals. We're all imperfect manifestation of the perfect sole creator of the universe. And of course, we're solely responsible for our actions and inaction, because everything we need to exists independent of his minutes interventions he had already given to us.

I am not against any form of doctrine, be it Christianity or Hinduism, I was born and brought up in a family of Catholics. I went to the Catholic church from my early adolescence to adulthood. But at a point, as I grew order, I began to question some doctrines. Not just in Catholic, but in the Christian faith generally.

The contradictions and contravention in the Holy book most times got me wondering. Also, the beliefs of most Christians are somewhat different from what I read in the bible.

Also, The church was gradually turning into a monetary convention where funds are raised for different budget implementations. Parishioners were taxed at alarming regularity. The indigents couldn't come anymore. The church was now for the rich. The funny part is, when someone dies and it happens to be that the deceased has failed to pay some levies, he/she will not be buried by the church unless the family pays up. Same modus operandi is applicable to church weddings. These levies run into hundreds of thousands.

I just could go anymore. I had too many questions running through my mind. Even up till now, most of those questions are unanswered. Until those questions are answered with facts, I think I will remain a deist.

One if my questions is, "When someone dies, what happens next"?

Most Christians will tell me "Hell fire or heaven" even when some chapters in the bible says differently.

Bia, this fool "Lennycool", you are of all men most miserable. The "BIBLE" says in the book of ROMANS 1:20, "Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse [when they stand before GOD at Judgement Day]". This means that anyone who says that God does not exist is a liar and he himself knows that he lies because God put in every man what is called CONSCIENCE and this conscience tells everyone THE TRUTH when he SINS AGAINST GOD. And I know that when you wrote all your comments, you felt guilty in your heart.

one thing I dislike about people is that you don't actually make research rather you give up so easily if you don't find solutions to your crisis in life.

You will easily resort to "there is no God" mantra.

Omen see case oh, them send you undecided Guilt ke? God was created because early men could not explain what they saw around them, so they created mystical stories with magic and fairy tales, this is why every culture has its idea of a God. Because they simply couldn't explain with their limited knowledge what they saw. Christianity is just more popular today and hence it's God is widely accepted.

This theist tire me sef. Anytime I see a post like this about an atheist turning to a theist or a post about the undeniable existence of God. All they point to is the fact that the universe is too complex to not be just random chance. They point to DNA sequencing and various other feats of nature, but as i will continue to argue over and over again, this doesn't prove that your God exist, it only enhances the possibility of a creator. Creator and God are not the same. You can just point to the universe and claim your God did it, since anyone can you use that line. From the Egyptians to the Greeks and Mayans.

1Corinthians2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can He know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

If you dont believe in the theory of evolution, then how do you explain the origin of man.

The theory of evolution is vital to atheism kid.

Mr adult

if you ask me the origin of man, I'll simply say "I don't know" but I won't fill that gap of knowledge with an imaginary friend either, then tell anyone who doesn't believe that tale that they'll burn forever

gods are created to fill our knowledge gaps which explains why every culture have their own idea of who god is

man created god and not the other way around and evidence so far points to that being right


and all the theistic arguments I've seen over the months on Nairaland are in fact "Deistic" arguments

don't believe me bro, just take time to go through your own posts over the years and see that you've been arguing more in favour of deism than theism

Hey @winner01, this is a great piece. Your write-up has blessed those who have chosen to be. No matter what, you've chosen not to deny your God and He'll never deny you. Hold on to your faith and expend less energy and attention on arguments which distract from the purpose of your thread, for that is the only intention. Everyone will make their choice as you have made yours. Remember that the concept of God will remain as foolishness to those who've been blinded by the god of this world. I encourage us all not to give in to the temptation of insulting and name-calling, but reflect at all times true christian virtues and character. Instead, see them through the compassionate eyes of Jesus and say a silent prayer that our God'll grant them an eye-opening encounter. Our experiences cannot always be the same.
