rationalmind:

I airkorie cannot think of any other explanation for the "order" of the universe, therefore, God did it.

Look at this hypothetical scenario from the fourth century



I hope you can see parallels between both scenarios. If you can, great. If you can't, pathetic.

deeptesting: The only rational answer I have seen here from the Christians in respect to the OP question is Atheism=Demonism and so a kingdom cannot fight against itself... Well, i hope someone will tell us more about the activities of demons so we can compare it with our daily activities to know if we truly belong to the Demonic Kingdom...

meanwhile @kambo you have refused to win me over to the Christian faith by failing to give a substantiative and verifiable evidence of the existence of hell fire outside what the Bible says....Be informed that Jesus Christ will hold you responsible for not showing me the way to life. I believe your refusal to answer my question on page 7 is a confirmation and automatic ticket that I should go to Hell Fire.

airkorie: dear friend ur argument is at best academic. even if there is a scientific explanation for you rainbow, that explanation is based on scientific laws......laws and order are designed. laws dont just pop out of the blues. they are designed. if your cave man had laws governing his society like todays, im sure he would have lived a more fulfilled life. my previous post was not for the purpose of attributing creation or your rainbow to 'God'. I was attributing it all to a designer, as against the mere fluke (big bang) frequently cited by atheists. God bless.

plaetton: I am just wondering out loud why demons and evil spirits are afraid of atheists, and whether adopting an atheistic worldview could be the best shield against demons, curses, witches and even the ever-present devourer?

okeke2: Whether its God or aliens, i believe there is a external higher power than us in the universe
Even science can prove that through historical events like man suddenly discovering fire or the story of Joan of arc (who really existed in the middle ages) or man discovering steel is a better weapon
Some of the swords made back then
even blacksmiths of today cant make it of the exact quality
WHAT DOES ALL THIS TELL US??

aManFromMars: God, demons and Satan love to breed in gullible minds.

You stop to believe in God and he moves out with his faithful servant Lucifer, JesUs,Gabriel and friends.

When bad things happen to us, we know the solution will not come by swimming miracle water or sowing seed faith offerings. When we go broke, we check our spending habits not blame it on some mythical devourers that are God's EFCC for tithe defrauders. When bad things happen to us, we understand that it is a cycle of life not punishment from some jobless omnipotent being.


DEMONS are afraid of reason and knowledge.

ramalot: When misguided youths go to university (in Naija), they blend in with a 'cult'
when asked, they say: "It is for protection". Then they go on to live and perhaps die with the horrors of cult clashes.

When most regular youths go through university in Naija, they graduate without ever dealing with cult related hazards.

Now, the question is.. WHY?

answer: IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY.

So you don't believe that God exists?

scarred9jan: Hi.. Am mayo and I just joined nairaland after months of 'kashimawoing'. Am an atheist and am glad am one. What many 'religious' folks fail to notice is that most Nigerian atheist were once religious and can quote the Bible/Koran (capitalised cos even if I don't recognise a god, I respect ppls beliefs) off hand.. There is nothing a Christian/Moslem can say that would convince me otherwise. god either never existed or if he did, is dead..


My first of many posts on Nairaland... #yippeee

rationalmind:

scarred9jan:

Thanks bro... And its not a ministry (before they think we are sort of a religious gathering)

rationalmind:

one only needs to listen to gordons to know what ministry means in the context in which it was used

I don't believe in destiny. I do know how important my choices are in creating the future I desire.
