attacking in what form, challenging u guys to explain your faith is not attack to me. your faith is shoddy if u have the inability to debate. i'm usually the one being insulted or called stupid and not the other way around.


i can never be threatened by Lies


more like threatened by reason by logic.

slavery and prostitution have existed for many milleniums. does that mean they are right??


Stop being so reprobate and concentrate on giving out ideas on your ''religion'


that won't be fun, would it??

If you call what you have been doing a challenge
then i guess it aint only spiritual prblems you have!

Christianity cannot be threatened by logic or reason
as if its not God who created ur brain/mind.

i say again, the truth will always stand the test of time.

Yeah, why dont you share the tenets of your religion
im open minded, i will be glad to listen smiley

@ bawomol,

thanks for not dissapointing. At least, you acknowledge you are a racist. Atheism and all that logic was just a smokescreen. Did whitey do this to you? Bad whitey. . .baaaad whitey! cheesy

lol u really need to read about the NGE. i don't agree with them but their belief that the black man is God on earth has always been interesting to me. the NGE is in now way black supremacist or racist. lol@smoke screen. funny how the jesus freaks are dodging my contradiction thread like a plague.



Christianity cannot be threatened by logic or reason

circular reasoning?? how do u know God created your brain/mind. because u ASSUMED so??

Yeah, why don't you share the tenets of your religion
im open minded, i will be glad to listen


the black man is God, life live to the fullest while respecting ur fellow man. no 10% tax, no costly pilgrimage, no dogma grin
Re: Scared! I Don't Believe In God, And You People Scare Me by Gamine(f): 7:23pm On Feb 20, 2008
How do you know the Black man is God

Respect fellow men?
Thats what christianity stands for
Love your neighbor as your self

10%tax?
We give cos we r grateful.

Pilgrimage?
that is not a requirement for living a Christian life

Dogma?
you contradict urself
Re: Scared! I Don't Believe In God, And You People Scare Me by Wordsmith(m): 7:23pm On Feb 20, 2008
Some real "respecting" you've been doing.

No where in your posts have there been any reasoning. Only preconceived notions backed up by your prejudices against (whitey. . . the Christian God?)


Reading some other crap- organisation's ideology hook line and sinker doesn't really tell of someone who "reasons". Where your brain at, Dexter?

Oh well, It all whitey fault.

How do you know the Black man is God

beside i said so and the great books from egypt said so.

Thats what christianity stands for

true, the bible also sanctions slavery, i guess that's love. u don't need religion to tell u how to treat other humans.



Pilgrimage?
that is not a requirement for living a Christian life


i'm talking about religion in general


10%tax?
We give because we r grateful.


so the only way of showing thanks to god is by giving out 10% of what u own. that doesn't make sense. give what belong to ceasar to ceasar right. does God take credit card or cash??


Dogma?
you contradict yourself


do u know the meaning of dogma



Oh well, It all whitey fault.


i'm liberal and not an afrocentrist. racial ideologies are comical to me. why put a race to your God, white christian God??

Had a quick look. Looks to me like another form of superstitionists. Stay well clear of them, except to know enough to about them to challenge and dismiss them.

In case anyone would like to know why I don't believe in God. Here's something I wrote a while ago. I'll try and look for the other things I wrote. I struggled with this issue for a while, I can find more if anybody is interested.


Here's my 12 keys to a successful religion (what I noticed religions tried to do to people):
1.Make the people feel bad or inadequate for something they can't change about themselves. Denounce being human as something filthy, disgusting, bad, incomplete,
2.Offer a way to atone for the inadequacy
3.Scare the people. Make a huge punishment (claim hopelessness)for not following your religion.
4.Attribute every good event/occurrence to some good variable (God) and bad occurrences to some (intrinsically) bad variable (sin/devil). Encourage people to do this daily.
5.Discourage questioning. Have negative consequences for questioning the religion.
6.Give “feel good” explanations for death. Give explanations for other issues people can't explain like famine, ,
7.Create rituals that appeal to emotions.
8.People love and connect with martyrs (Find emotional people that would die for your message or make up stories of some).
9.Create a superhuman hero. People love heroes especially underdogs that do great things. Have a good theme song too
10.Create stories around your hero. If you choose a real life hero, make sure the story doesn't get published until years after the hero is dead and information in the story cannot be verified.
11.Use your religion to help people think. Thinking is stressful and that's one of the main tasks of religion: helping people think. Once your religion makes people feel good, they'll allow it to think for them (see Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle). Include some basic universal laws of nature in your stories.
12.Create pictures of a bright future. Hope is the key to religion. Religion is all about selling dreams of a bright future and tweaking people's emotions.


This was a while back, I write something cohesive when i get time.
