FBIL: Stop drinking the cool aid, the founding fathers were deists so when they mention "god" they're definitely not referring to bible god, infact if you read their full message you'll see that the "god" they're referring to is just a general/generic non personal god, that's why these assembled geniuses forgot to mention Abraham or Jesus in the entire document and why good old Ben Franklin told Jefferson to write "self-evident" instead of "sacred." 4 Likes 1 Share |

tosyne2much: Absolute nonsense. It is just like me saying Christians remember Zeus in time of need or that Muslims call upon Harry Potter This reminds when me and my course mate (an atheist) were traveling from school when the tire busted and the driver lost control, my friend was the first to shout "Jesus" and I couldn't believe my eyes ooo. So what? How many Christians have shouted Jesus before an accident and still died? Did Jesus do anything to save them? The people who died when that church collapsed were actively praying and singing to your imaginary friend. Did that stop them from dying? I have seen atheists who call pastors to pray for them, they confess their sins and give their life to Christ so that they can make it to heaven peradventure if they die And I have seen Christians convert to Muslims. Do you have any point to make? 3 Likes |

tosyne2much:I'm not an atheist. I'm agnostic, i believe there is a possiblity of a god and i also believe there is a possiblity of none. Funny enough being an agnostic who even believes in the possiblity of a god, i cannot remember the last time i prayed even back then in the university when i was depressed at one time for so many months. I just knew it was life pushing me to figure out what was wrong and solve it. And i did figure it out and it worked. Most people do not want to think hard about their problems so they go the easy way which is praying and that provides psychological consolation but rarely solves the problem, in my experience never solves the problem. Some people say prayers work for them, who am i to doubt them? Is it my experience? I do what works for me because i trust my experience more than that of people out there which may be lying to themselves. 3 Likes |

hahn:God is real. You are just too blinded by the religion all round you to see. By the way, religion is also a way to link to God too, though it often causes more harm than good |

Lorbar:I haven't, but China and India have less than 6% Christian population so why would an average Chinese or Indian shout 'Jesus' when he does not even know who he is? Moreover, a video trended early this year showing an Indian man looking rather bemused watching other passengers praying vigorously during a flight turbulence in Nigeria. Saw a similar video on Facebook. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=461649227510109&id=179145615760473 |

Omooba77:I wouldn't even say remember God..... but call on God especially when their life is in danger. Remember God shows that the person already knew God. ...that God is a healer/saviour/protector so why not remember Him in times of trouble? But then there are those who pay no attention to God.... and those who are proud atheists.... who [b]call[/b]on God ...suddenly become converted. I believe the answer lies somewhere in the New Testament when Jesus said pretty much that 'the laws' and God will be in the heart of man..... ehmmm....man will come pre programmed with the Laws and God apps..... so when our lives get seriously infected.... we turn to God to scan and clean. God is within every man.... whether or not our mouths admit it during good times. |

hahn:Grow up not believing or serving God?. Your Philosophical reasoning is not tenable enough. Abundant evidences butress the existence of God. The question of weather or not to serve him is entirely your choice. |

Hozier: The Bible says, "For without Faith, it is impossible to please God ". Any faith you remember only when you are in need will not last. Faith is a way of life. God will Solve your need. But when you forget the problem solver, and another problem surfaces, what happens ? the person falls again. |
