It is unjust to impose an infinite punishment for a finite crime. Even Hitler does not deserve to be burned alive for ever and ever. Even ISIS has never burned anyone alive for more than a few minutes, despite being the most barbaric people in the world. The obvious injustice of the Christian concept of hell perfectly demonstrates the ethical shortcomings of the men who came up with it. Yes, they were men.

I think a spouse who offers practical solutions to your difficulties is far more valuable than one whose solution to every difficult problem is prayer and fasting and what does the bible say, which tends to fail precisely when you need it most. (Actually, it always fails, but you won't realize it until it fails you in a big way)

Very lame attempt at ridiculing Christianity.
Christians believe God gave man the knowledge to venture into medicine. Any Christian who is against taking drugs is on their own.



Really nigga Television and the internet can do no wrong on their own. Its what you do with them that matter. They are also used to propagate the gospel of Christ. You aren't thinking straight.

Who made you a spokesperson for christians ?
It is better you speak for yourself and your church members.
Only hypocrites and pretenders make themselves the standard
of believe when their is no such thing.

There are christians who will never take drugs nor watch tv and
that doesn't make you any more christian than them.

Your post actually confirms my postulate that delusion has different grades,
we have group of christians who believe they will burn in hell if they use attachment
and there are those who don't care, the two groups are deluded but some are more
delusional than the other.

My late fiance was a Christian yet we had an almost perfect relationship. She always bothered me with prayer sessions and fasting and all that and insisted we must Wed in church which I accepted for the sake of love..I miss her and i am proud of myself because she confessed she never met a guy like me.

Now, 3 years later I am in a new relationship with a Christian and we should be getting married by next year.

One thing most religious folks fail to understand is that there is more to a relationship than Yahweh or Allah. Their ignorance and the deciept by pastors has led them to think that one cannot function normally outside religion.

Apart from going to church and praying to urself, humans will still go home and interact with each other. Our daily lives have absolutely nothing to do with any nonexistent God. Relationship involves sacrifice, pain, love, learning, respect, all of which humans must learn how to balance in order to be in a steady relationship.
I love my girl and she is so comfortable with me.

All my relatives know I don't buy all this church and religious stuff, yet they are amazed at how i am quick to respond to their plight. I am like the good black sheep of my family, I hate religious matter yet, despite not being rich, everyone seem to lean on me.

I respect my girl and we have learned to be with each other, we laugh at our jokes and know when not to cross each others boundary and that's respect. Yet we are not a perfect duo... But we are happy.

If God exists, he must be foolish. He is the source of segregation among the very humans he claims he created and loves. He went into hiding and when someone does not believe he exists, he asks those who believes not to be equally yoked with them. Yet their is no perfect relationship between this so called believer.

The op proudly opened a thread to preach hate in the name of a loving God. Yet she will hypocritically point accusing fingers at a Muslim who rejects his daugther for dating a Christian..

Well for me, even though I think religion is dumb, I still believe good people will always be good and bad people will always be bad. There are bad religious people and good religious people. There are also bad atheists and good atheists.

Imagine the irony of this thread... Loving Christians preaching hate, while murderous atheists are sying it's possible to live with Christians despite the difference. But loving Christians insists that we should never live together.

I'd rather advice my sister to marry a good man like me.

Vick4rill:
listen to me neocortex, if religion is eradicated and everybody becomes atheist, you will hate this world.. do you know how many millions of people religion shape their moral conduct? do you really get the meaning of this sentences and how it has help maintain peaceful existance: "if not for God i would have...", in the name of God forgive. so wen pointing at those who feel they are nt accountable to God for anytin. remember the billions who tinks otherwise.

chubbyswit:
there is nothing like higher or lower love, love is love. we only ve diff categories

Vick4rill:
Unless you are ready to be an atheist yourself, don't ever believe you guys will be able to tolerate each other for long. Forget about the "bullshit" about both of you, loving yourselves and being tolerant to one another. That assertion can never work. How can u spend your life with somebody who thinks that your "belief" is delusional and plain foolishness?

How can you train your children in such a man's house? What if he decides that his children will become atheists too? What will happen when both of you are supposed to pray and come together as a family? Do you think such a person will tolerate ur pastors or church members visiting you in his house?

Avoid atheists like plagues. Don't ever think you can change or convert him, once you people are married. There is no any good quality that any atheist possesses, that is not found among the Christian brothers. Just pray hard and God will give you a good believer that will give you more happiness than any atheist can ever think of giving you.

mii4u:



everyone is a sinner, there is none righteous that is why the bible made us to understand that iron sharpeneth iron, u can't marry an atheist and expect him/her to call u to order wen u are deviating from the way of God. Wat am i saying in essence is that as humans , we are all prone to mistakes and sin but the ur partner who shares the same faith with u will always be there to help u out.

birdman:
but i think these arguments arent helping you

I love your logic, Only God is love to give unconditional love but when I tend to give you mine, it's not accepted. How funny is that?

What makes each category different but similar

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read what Lexington Steele (A top porn actor) said at 1:25: " worship and prayer were how I made it through some tough scenes. The Lord was always on my mind"

malvisguy212:
as if you know everything going on in his private life.

SecretAgent:
You are so narrow minded. I guess an intelligent Atheists just snatched your girlfriend. You are nothing but a desperate and clueless Christian brother. Rubbish.

elpedro:


I swear.. The way Christians judge non-christians is weird.. They detest Moslems, Atheists, Buddhists, Hinduists etc.. They all believe any other person is going straight to hell if you don't believe in what they believe..

Even amongst them, Catholics discriminate against Anglicans and Protestants.. No mother would allow her catholic daughter get married to an Anglican without a Fight.. They all see each other as Rivals.. They believe their doctrines are way superior to others.. Thing is: Around year 1500, which religion was dominant.. I guess it's all about trend.. If you are a christian, don't judge others, don't hate other people cuz of their belief system..

ilynem:

At least speak like an educated person. I want to assume you are. If God doesn't love you, you won't be alive doesn't mean he hates those that are dead. He loves you but do you love Him back? That's where your problem is. He will give you chance after chance to change that's why He loves you. As for those that aren't alive, everyone has to die one day right including you and me. So my brother, Christianity is a choice so is Atheism. I have made mine, you have made yours. Leave us suffer the consequences of our choices. After all is being a Christian taking anything from you? No? Then leave us the hell alone!

uzolexis:


I'm a christian, engaged to an atheist and getting married to him soon. This is the 1st atheist i've ever dated, I have dated Christians all my life but this is my bestest relationship so far and it has taught me a lot especially to be non-judgemental, accept pple for who they are and respect pple's opinion and i'm very grateful for this amazing man in my life.

hopefulLandlord:
the funniest part is that not every church goer is a theist

most atheists on Nairaland are church goers and mosque goers themselves and some probably pray fervently and are regarded as "born again" Christian by their church members and "true Muslims" by the Islamic community

the bitter truth is that you may never know an atheist even when you've "known" him for years

that pastor you respect? remember him? he could be an atheist

that church member of yours that's handsome and "doesn't take his spiritual life with levity"? Remember him? he could be atheist

that "close friend" of yours whom you pray together? remember him? he could be atheist

that guy that knocks your door to preach to you, remember him? he could be atheist


the harsh truth is that until atheism becomes acceptable in Nigeria, you're gonna find it hard to know whom an atheist is, we are like American gays before the legalisation, hiding who we are to survive and thrive

chubbyswit:
lol c question, please love with wisdom and not foolishness, can u trade ur integrity and self worth? Put urself at risk because u think u're in love? Like i said there are categories of love and i'm sure the atheist i responded to clearly knows what my post meant.

Amberon:
I wonder why atheists would even think of marrying religious people who they think are delusional and crazy. Why would you wanna marry a deluded individual? Marry your fellow atheists and spread atheism....

Lennycool:
Oh sure, atheist are such bad husband's, no woman should ever marry an atheist.
I mean its not like the atheist will ever claim to love an imaginary being more than his family.
Its not like the atheist will treat you as inferior (weaker vessels) as the holy books instructs
Its not like the atheist will set limitations on what you can do with your free time and who you can see.
Its not like an atheist will marry multiple wives and see you as property.
its not like an atheist will beat you if he pleases. And still find it moral
Why would a woman ever marry someone like this?
Atheist make terrible husband's, that's why every woman married to a religious person is happy, their lives are filled with joy. Only women married to atheist suffer.
#Sarcasm
Get sense

Amberon:
Im sorry but you got it wrong. I give you an instance. Do you call it "judging" when telling that he would fail his exams if he doesnt study? No! In the same vein it is not "judging" when we speak about hell or warn people (wether christians, muslims, etc) about its reality.

The bolded is also very erroneous. No Christian sees another Christian (from whatever denomination), or anyone from another faith as rivals. If anything, our only rival or even adversary is the devil. Any Christian can marry any other Christian from another denomination. This is a daily occurrence.

Also we hate no one except the devil.in fact, the bible says to love our neighbors as ourselves. Bear in mind that our neighbors can be atheists, thieves, kidnappers, murderers etc.
