The comments of a dying breed when the truth is laid bare before him.

Vitriolic expressions become a last resort. Its like when an internally vile man gets hit on the finger with a hammer he blurts out words like FVUCK, SHIIT, DAMN just to try and suppress the pain.

If your verbal rot would help you feel better then by all means rot away.
But the article is untrue na PewResearch centre says otherwise
It's true religious groups would increase. But atheists worldwide too would also increase the only difference is that cuz of the larger population religious groups would be more and it would cause a reduction in the athiest percentage worldwide but there would be more atheists than they were in 2016
Are you seeing how to not be bias?
Stop surfing conversepedia and other bias sites
And Islam would even dominate so iono know what your joy is about
I don't have time to argue if this is what makes your sleep at night by all means carry on

Sorry to disappoint but i never even looked at conservapedia and this research is fact. Like i said if any of you would post a contrary research then do so instead of simply complaining. If you have none then pls walk away because your comments without facts are merely a distraction. Get yourself busy by watching the video and see the utter ridiculousness of Atheists then come back with your facts.

You might be able to help your ignorance, if only you can humble yourself, by understanding the word "fact".

Before you run and go dance on sinking boat, simply go learn what makes a research work worth more than the paper on which it's printed.

There are thousands of research works, that have considered this topic, using multiple variables. Their conclusions are more acceptable to both academia and intellectuals, than this nonsense you are parading here.

Have you heard the word "peer review"?

I thought you guys gave this title "anti God high priest", to Richard Dawkins?

Well, it's an honor to share with him.

Sorry boy. My input is motivated by the desire to help the irrational atheists and skeptical theists, to the path of rationality, in their quest to strip and severe their minds from religious delusion. Nothing more.

Then this thread isnt for you! Kindly open a thread that addresses your crowd of irrational atheists. Clearly since you know they exist you must see yourself as some kind of authority on atheism so pls exit this thread because its filled with rational and sound minded theists. Thank you for your time

When i say you guys are grossly mentally limited, you guys keep confirming it.


I deliberately didn't include gnostic theists, like you, because the clinical delusionary case has been established on their beliefs orientation.

"irrational atheists" are persons who reject believe in existence of God, based on religious disillusionment, and not reasons, backed by empirical elements.

"skeptical theists" those who simply believed the belief of God existence. Albeit not because they are convinced, but because they don't no better.

Tell that to your atheist brethren who have either been vitriolc or lack the decency of providing their own version of proof or have resorted to ad hominems and not to me.

If there was any reasonable response then we would dialogue but just like you are doing so they did so run alog if you have nothing better to say.

You call my post dishonest without offering proof of its dishonesty. You say its offensive then by all means do something about it and not just comlaining. Prove the OP wrong.

When will you wrap up this your difficulty, at understanding the fact, that rational atheists, base their belief system on methodology that is scientific?

And not on theological, mystical or philosophical methodology.

If i say i don't believe God exit, and i don't CLAIM to KNOW it doesn't exists.

The word "claim to know", has significant implications in scientific society.

Except you're educated in scientific ethics, principles, discipline, decency and character, you can't possibly relate with it.

So, "claim to know", doesn't connote admittance of the probable existence of God, as you ignorantly want to assume. It's a phrase that characterize people of scientific culture and tradition.


Science admits the universe has a creator cool

Please look at the links below instead of making careless claims.


http://www.inquisitr.com/2539980/atheist-beliefs-in-america-2015-pew-poll-atheism-religion-spiritual-church/

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/04/160422-atheism-agnostic-secular-nones-rising-religion/


If the links are not good enough for you
Please type " rise of atheism" in google or type decline of Christianity and see the results.

Please stop posting apologetic materials and videos and calling them facts.

As long as world HDI continues growing and educational levels, access to internet and other positive indices that affect knowledge continue increasing then atheism will continue growing.

Religion is like a vampire that's scared of the light . The mythical vampire is so powerful in darkness but becomes totally helpless in sunlight.

You know what the light is in this situation?
Scientific knowledge
Increasing income levels
Vaccines against diseases
Greater explanations for natural phenomenon

All these indices combined together are like light that shines through a dark alley where the vampire of religion dominates. This light crushes them.

Read about church closing in Netherlands. Almost 700 churches are closed annually in Netherlands. The light of development pursues the hideous bogeyman called religion. The funny thing about it is that religion is powerless without its victims and their donations, imagine churches being closed because there is a scarcity of gullible people to milk.
Religion just like fear is made very powerful by its victims. Religion and a belief in god is totally useless and powerless until you give it power by accepting it in.

Remember the scripture in John where Jesus says "behold i stand at the door of your heart and knock, anyone who lets me in I will never cast away"

In reality , it is fear and ignorance standing at the door of your heart and knocking.

To prove that, why would god require your blind faith and subservience to something when he has given you a brain for thinking. Fear disguises itself in nice costumes


costumes range from a good shepherd Jesus costume to a last messenger Muhammad costume to a son of god Krishna costume.

But the fact remains that those are human constructs created by deceitful, cunning and evil people, those constructs are sent to your mind in the form of evangelization, war etc the moment they gain control they will continue propagating in your generation just like viral marketing.

That's why a charlatan like Joseph Smith who was disgraced publicly has 20 million global followers. Most of his followers are in a state in the most powerful nation in the world. That's the power of fear especially when you allow it in your mind.

The good thing about all this is that the light of truth is coming out now.

There is a Congolese lingala proverb that says
" locuta eyaka ascenseur, verita eyin escalier mpe ekomi"
It means - lies can take the escalator but truth will take the stairs and still get there.

The lie of religion took the elevator and has held man captive since we formed settled civilizations going back 9000 years ago, the truth has been there always but it has been slowly climbing the stairs.

But now the chickens have come home to roost for the stupid useless petty lie of religion. When the truth climbs the top floor and meets the lie there, religion will have no choice but to recede into oblivion. We are at the beginning of that time, the truth has climbed the stairs and its almost there , it will soon knock on the door of the roof, religion can't keep it out forever. The truth will finally prevail.

jonbellion:
well basically diests are on the same camp with atheists and agnostics in the sense of not believing in a personal God
You people put your God on a very high pedestal
This is a God who parted the red sea
Brought down fire from heaven
Wrote on walls
Waked on water
Calmed storms
Replaced an ear
Flew to heaven
Carried someone on a chariot to heaven
Brought Zombieland to Palestine after his death
Fed 5000 people with bread and fish with leftovers
Brought bears out to maul youths
Turned the Nile to blood
Stopped the sun
Strangely had an Achilles heel for chariots undecided
Made someone super strong
Among other miscellaneous things
You did all this before without interrupting free will
Do it again... Na lie
But nowadays what we get are pastors clamping peoples hands together and claiming one hand was shorter than the other and TB Joshua claiming he replaced a kidney with prayer. Why he can replace a kidney and not grow a human hand back is beyond me
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that is basically what can help Yahweh out
And btw be checking PewResearchCentre for all these and not conservepedia or any obviously bias website
Religious groups would grow faster and irreligious groups would reduce to 13% but by 2050 there'll be a 10% increase overall
Though there will be an increase in religious people due to population increase religiously unaffiliated people would also be higher than it was in 2016 due to more people so I honestly don't know what this thread is saying
How does this answer the Op biko?
