Yomieluv: @logicboy,because the european brought xtianity,doesn't make them the all in all, being the creator of something,doesn't make u the best in it,that's why there's a word called innovation. If the whites have decided to drop xtianity,God can use the black to resusitate them. Its even said in the bible,that if men decides not to worship God,he would command the stones to do that. If not for religion,Africa would've been in chaos by now.
I totally disagree with your view.

There are some events thet defies scientific explanation,that can only be attributed to the existence of God.

But that doesn't make me a Fanatic.God bless us all.

So Africa is presently not in chaos abi?

Try dey talk truth make the God when you dey defend here see you bless oh.

Nigeria is presently in the "ERA OF FAITH", It would pass, many of us who are asking questions today were devout Christians 10years ago. Let's allow time play its part.

Hi hater!
Logic, The simple gist of this thread is why christians don't ask relevant questions pertaining to their faith, seek understanding outside the bible and believe everything they are told. Simply put, blind faith. I'd give this a rest because anytime you ask a fanatic questions, they take it personal and start throwing the scriptures at you(most quoted out of context) but will not actually engage in a reasoned debate.
I believe in God(or something greater than myself) and also believe that we've been given brains for a purpose(critical thinking) and religion should not be excluded from this. sadly the average nigerian christian believes their religion and the thought-process to be mutually exclusive.

I dont believe in God however, I have no problem with anyone that thinks things through.


I have no problem with people that believe but still ask questions! That is what this thread is about!

summary:
1. It is impossible to be a christian and still exercise critical/logical/rational thinking or intelligence.
2. Until religion (christianity in particular) is eliminated, Nigeria will never witness reasonable growth.

Wrong


1) It is impossible to be rational when judging everything from a "faith" point of view. you can be christian and keep your beliefs private and separate from aspects of life.


2) Until religion is kept private and becomes a personal issue in Nigeria, we will still have some "dark ages" problems like witch beating

I hope you know that this topic made front page?


There are many topics that use strategy A "religion is bad" but they get nowhere.


I used Britian to make a logical point that an advanced society dropped their religion and we carry religion there without asking why.

It touches something deep in Nigerians when we compare our country to the UK. An indirect route of asking why developed countries dropped religion.




Effective and logical



But you could say the same about America, could you not?

Should they not also be looking over their shoulder's and saying they ought to drop religion since their colonial masters - the Brits, have done so, no?

I knew you would bash me. wink


Reread the OP and you will see that I was actually addressing Nigerians in the UK.

Furthermore, America is quite secular despite the huge amount of christians. They have a well enshrined separation of church and state- which atheists group use to bash fundamentalist christians when they try to go overboard.


We also forget the other side of separation of church and state- freedom of and from religion. Should anyone discriminate against me because of religion, there are govt-al organisations that can assist me in building my case in defense.


Compare that to Nigeria

I fell asleep actually. Unlike you, i dont live here 24/7.
Besides i saw your argument about "black pastors" on MSNBC... what do you mean by that and how many times are these "black pastors" on the screen? Bill Maher is a more visible and respected figure on left wing TV and radio than any of the black pastors you mention.
Yes for every Bill Maher there are tons of Ann coulters but what was the point being made? That because we have Ann Coulter then Bill Maher does not count?

Shifting the argument to TV now? eh?


Bill Maher has a TV show. He doesnt talk about atheism on a daily basis,. His show is on politics. Dumbazz.

Fox new has its resident pastor while Msnbc has 2 african american pastors who show face from time to time to give their foolish "christian" views on politics as if christianity is meant to be political. (learning from Jesus)



Should we start talking about the numerous christian shows and TV stations in the USA?

I dont understand the point and it quite likely is true that you dont either. you're just floundering at this point. You said and i quote verbatim = The mainstream media in the U.S. regularly excludes atheists, even from stories about atheism, while giving voice to religious believers.

Last i checked, the mainstream media includes TV media right? Including those who have political shows like Bill Maher right?

Bill Maher may not talk about atheism on a daily basis but that is his choice... its not like he is being refused a platform to promote atheism should he so choose. Afterall religulous was very popular due to his TV position and given tremendous network TV promotion when it came out.

So, in order to counter the fact that the mainstream media in the USA regularly excludes atheist, even from stories about atheist, you point to a an atheist who already has a TV show and doesnt focus on atheism but politics! You then go further to talk about Bill Mahers documentary on religion. How does that rebutt the point in blue?



There are enough stories of atheist discrimination that dont even get on the news but when a "God" sign is taken down or atheists put up a billboard, the Mainstream media shows it as if christians are being discriminated against!


Does your point negate the fact that it is okay to talk about atheism with no atheist present? Something that no one does on national TV to christianity?

Responding to your circular arguments is getting tedious. I will ignore the Fox news video as we all know they are largely a mouth piece for the conservative movement in the US. It is what it is.

As to the other video, its nothing but a projection of the intolerant views of the atheist who posted it. why take out "in God we trust" from the dollar? Its been there for close to 200 yrs... its become almost an a-religious symbol of the dollar that i wonder why someone needs to remove it before he can sleep at night. Frankly your videos didnt say anything new.

Fool. The point of the CNN video was to show that they talk about atheists without even one atheist on the show.

Remeber the point in blue

The mainstream media in the U.S. regularly excludes atheists, even from stories about atheism, while giving voice to religious believers.
