991: 'The gullibility of the brain of an average nigerian church goer' why must it be about gaining before you choose your stand??
that's why pastors are making millions weekly out of your ignorance and gullible minds.
they just quote few verses of the same bible you have at home, and you shout Ameeeen!!! I claim it!! etc. then you give them 10% of your earning, you sing, dance and go home hungry.
in return, all you stand to gain is promises of life after death, etc.

The fools says in their heart their is no God. I prefer my pastor to decive me and collect my 10percent than for the devil to tell me their is no God. It sickening. I wonder y this atheist issues is more and more being rampant in the forum.

It takes a WISE person to say there is no god.

You are definitely living in fear. Fear means something is wrong with your belief .

musKeeto: If there's nothing after death, just like there was nothing before birth, then you have nothing to lose. But you'd have lost a lot while living : the prayers, fasting, religious activities, tithes etc...

The atheist/agnostics loses nothing both ways, IMO. Most atheists hold themselves responsible for their actions and seek to enjoy the experience of this one life.


On the other hand, if I die and meet the Christian God (i'd leave out other Gods at the moment in order not to derail this thread), I'd be shocked... And I would ask him a lot questions before he flips my sorry a55 to hell...

So what exactly is there to lose? The thought of singing all eternity long in heaven isn't an appealing one. God better get an ipod...

I couldn't help but burst into laughter when i was reading your post.You said christian have lost a lot when living you made metion of prayer, fasting, tithe and and all church activities' You are a lazy man. Are you saying you are loosing something when you are speaking?prayer and fasting is an exercise to our body. Concerning tithe, do you loose if you give money to beggar? I don't think you can give money to the beggar. Some beggars are more rich than people that were given then money. For this reason, you don't loose what you can afford that you willingly give out. Apart from this, can you tell me if there can be any remembrance of what you have done when living on earth after death?if there wil not be remembrance of that.it shows that the problems passed or overcame are no longer problems.

'You are seeking to enjoy the expirence of this one life' How will you enjoy this one life, that christians can not?I think that is the answer iam expecting for my question. You have wife, we have.you are walking, christian are walking etc.what do you stand to gain? The only things atheists can do that Christians can not do are. You can be a wumonizer, you can be practising homosexuality. Drinking alcohol,smoking cigarette, marijuna,wearing indecent dresses, killing,stealing etc. If you are an atheist and you dislike all those things i made mentioned above,then, why did you reject God ?what did God demands from you that is so difficult to do? The law of God is perfect.


My friend don't wait untill when God will flip your a55 fit to hell .

I know it is hard for you to understand .. It really isnt your fault though, the system of brainwash has been going on in Africa for a few centuries

Christians are mostly useless to the economic growth of a country. They are often lazy and contribute nothing because they are busy waiting in vain for a false saviour.

Let us assume you actually get to "heaven" you will be of no use because you have the mentality of a slave. On earth you are useless, on another planet,you will equally be non useful.

If there is heaven, it will need the most intelligent people on earth .

In your ramble, you have stated what atheist have to gain but you have not stated anything christians stand to gain (I am not including xtian pastors that will fly private jet and live in mansions o).

Basically, all you did was state athiests gain more than christians.

Atheists have more planes than pastors. Enjoying planes is Atheist idea pastors stole when they find out theres nothing to enjoy in heaven. Have you forgotten the biblical quotation "It is easier for a Camel to pass through eye of a need than for a rich man to enter heaven"? These pastorprenuers know what they are doing.

You can better understand that from one of Fela Kuti's famous songs.

oh yea!! there is, a god who can make a universe over 28 billion light years across containing billions of stars and planets just so that a few evolved apes on one single, insignificant planet can worship him… but he can’t be bothered to help starving babies and dying innocent people whom he claims to have created in his own image? religion is funny, sometimes it sounds like circumcision, If you wait until someone is 21 to tell him/her about circumcision they probably won’t be interested.

Brilliant points!

Watching starving babies is part of that God's trials and tribulations testing of their commitment to him. It would be a testimony in future.

Since the beginning of recorded history, which is defined by the invention of writing by the Sumerians around 6,000 years ago, historians have cataloged over 3,700 supernatural beings, of which 2,870 can be considered deities. So next time someone tells me they believe in God, I’ll say “Oh which one? Zeus? Hades? Jupiter? Mars? Odin? Thor? Krishna? Vishnu? If they say “Just God. I only believe in the one God,” I’ll point out that they are nearly as atheistic as me. I don’t believe in 2,870 gods, and they don’t believe in 2,869.

For us Christians we don't need rewards to believe in what we do ... we know the truth.
