Dummy! When you make a case, you do the research and present your findings. I can't believe I have to tell you that burden of proof is on the complainant/promoter.

You seem to have avoided the question I asked. I'm guessing MZ "denouncing" of Atheism has strengthened your faith in whatever you believe in, except of course, this whole thread is about a d-ick measuring exercise between religious adherents and atheists.

So I ask again, why does the religious/non-religious persuasion of a billionaire who is unaware of your pitiful existence concern you so much?! I noticed you seem to be the one who is very passionate about MZ being a religious person.

Dude Being a believer is who i am and this in no way strengthened my faith and like i said, the mere fact that you are bent on doing damage control shows how it dampened yours.

My condition contrary to what you assume is an extremely comfortable one and yes i am excited for him and if that bothers you then deal with it

Curb your enthusiasm.
Now let's dissect his reply religiously.

He *was* raised Jewish is different from he's presently Jewish.

We were all raised Christians or Muslims in this clime, but here we are, some are atheists while some Muslims are now Xtians and vice versa.

He also said Religion is very important.

This is different from saying he believes in religion.
Religion is opium of the masses.
Thanks to religion, people who should revolt against the govt or even him out of anger are too busy going to Monday to Sunday church services or crying to their deities instead.
So you see, Religion is very important.lol

Now you've been enlightened.
But I can only show you to the door, it is up to you to enter.
lol you didn't say anything about the emphatic NO, he gave about his position as an atheist.

The problem with Christianity lies in John 14.6 and its connotation.
Unlike other Faiths/Religions, Christians believe all non christian are doomed and going to hell.
I call it Monopoly of Faith.
Let's just thank God, christians don't believe in Jihad, otherwise...
no ooo..
Islam too...
You need allah to enter jannah!

Naah kid. The dummy here is you and your ilk. Google is still your friend and i have offered a wiki page listing out the notable Jews who are now Christians. If you feel what i offered is false then you counter that. Shia lebouf who is also an A LIST hollywood actor and an ex Jew is now a Christian. If its a trend then i am loving that trend.

He said he holds religion in high esteem whereas atheists don't have regard for religion.

You're very wrong. Every educated person (irrespective of belief) knows religion is important. I moved from being atheist to being agnostic and I have always known the social function of religion in the society, not least the sense of direction it provides to believers. That does not vitiate the many evils of religion. Mark Z never said he is now a believer from the statement, he merely recognizes the important place religion has in society and to believers. You can google the importance of religion to help you understand what I am saying.

Well the Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists etc are Still theist anyway. I don't know why Christians are making a fuss over this, I thought it doesn't matter whether he is a theist or not so long as he doesn't believe in your Jesus he will burn in hell. And apparently i don't think Mark Zuckerberg being raised a Jew believe in your Jesus.
lol. Probably why he began questioning the inconsistencies with the jewish religion. We can also infer that if he's truly practising Judaism then he must be paying his tithes regularly since Abraham being a major figure in the jewish religion was a strong tither. Moreover, it isn't really about Jesus and other religions but atheist and deist.

I don't know how I came about, atheism never claimed to know how we came about

your idea of atheism is the usual thing parroted by theists around

as for the book, read it and know what he's talking about; don't be scared of reading outside the usual bible, that's avant-garde
oh but on the contrary, I was reading articles on evolution theories way back in my JS3..I would emerse myself in all those fancy ideas and theories as a young lad.I believed and digested it all.I began to realise the inconsistencies when those propounding these theories couldn't agree..even as a young boy I could discern the inconsistencies riddled all over their fancy theories..

I don't need to go to any section. You have made a statement and I am simply asking you to supply material that backs up your statement.
Really, it's that simple.

nope you your previous comment shows how gods are made to fill gaps brought about by man's ignorance



I'm not competing against any god, maybe you were competing with a god when you were one but speak for yourself


that's generalisation again, atheists don't believe any god exists simple
your prerogative



you think about it
man's ignorance? I would rather say man's helplessness....

nobody has been able to answer the big question of where we come from. so stop acting like you know better.

you are as ignorant as religious people who believe their own physolophy is the truth.

Lol.
Clearly you do not have any understanding of the word "trend"
Last I checked, there were more than 7 billion people on earth; you simply bring me 1 person and expect me to believe your hypothesis.
Off the top of my head, I can confidently tell you that your assertion is STATISTICALLY INSIGNIFICANT.

MrMontella:

Islam too...

Islam preaches Submission to the will of Allah (God).

Christianity preaches leading life according to the way of Jesus Christ.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Meaning you can believe in God, submit to his will, lead the most pious life, be the kindest, most honest, loving and generous person alive. But if you don't accept Jesus Christ as the son of God or physical manifestation of God Himself in flesh, you are condemned to the same fate as a rapist, terrorist, genocidal maniac and other vileness of the world, period. No two ways about it.

Ask any Christian/Pastor.
