Only that no god has ever made any rule anywhere. . .All rules are made by humans. . .Some attribute it to their gods while some don't but all laws are man made. . .Gods do not make laws any where. . .By the way which god are we even talking about?. . .Zeus, Allah, Khrishna, Vishnu, Pallangon, Yahweh, Baal, Palangon, which god exactly because there are many many gods. . .
and you have a proof that all rules that guides ur being was made by ur fellow men? I guess I should compile my own rules too, and you must follow it, yes?

All the laws written in the bible were written by men, just that the writers attributed it to god. . .Nothing more, read the egyptian book of the dead, it was written long before the bible was written and contains part of the ten commandements, even the golden rule was talked about by Confucius very long before it was written down in the bible. . .All laws are made by men. . .No god makes any laws. . .Read all the religious books, koran, verders, book of the dead etc. . .Human beings wrote them all and attributed them to their various gods just to keep people in line. . .

A fallacy of hasty generalisation. Anyways, it should be because such a person finds it particularly distressing to imagine that any human would be so foolish as to doubt the existence of a Creator.

rationalmind:

Firstly, when you people start telling people how to live their lives, when you start saying abortion is wrong, homosexuality is wrong etc (and not just saying its wrong but trying to enforce such values on others) because it contradicts your religious view, we have to attack those religious views to enable you see things from a broader perspective.

Secondly, take a look at the recently passed gay bill that stipulates a punishment of 14 years for any homosexual. This is a law that mainly stems from religious and cultural bias. How can we keep quiet when such injustice is being done to people because of what they consent to do in the private which concerns and affects no one?

We need more religiously unbiased and freeminded people at the helm of affairs of this nation.

It begins from somewhere. Nairaland and other online forums is a good place to start.
correct!

if you don't believe in creation how would believe that all this laws were made so by Him. Things were made to happen the way they happen, that why they happen dammit!. Say, a tv was programmed to display whenever you press a key on the remote controller, now who should we attribute the display ability 2? The remote? The Tv?, or the Programmer?.

True because only Christians will leave their houses, come to yours and ask you to worship their Jesus or go to hell fire. Like seriously? I've been living here since 20+ years and i haven't smelt the burning flesh from all the people who have died and gone to hell. grin grin

If truly earth was real, at least sometimes we should perceive the smell of burning flesh or witness a hazy atmosphere from the smoke of over-burnt flesh in hell. grin grin

At least that would be more realistic.

I attack theism as a whole and I have far more contempt for Islam but as an ex-christian I can debate specific verses in Christianity and I understand the whole belief more.
X moslems are probably dead or in hiding undecided
But they are out there and the popular prominent Atheists attack Islam more.

How come Islam section has been quarantined.

A lot of y'all don't even know what u're saying. Somethings are not meant 2 be known and that's y dey stay mysteries!... Humans are the most rebellious set of creation on the face of earth, you think if you know a bit 'bout all these things the world would still be what it is 2day? Even the devil thinks he deserve more just with the lil opportunity he had how much more humans. And ur scientist that u so much belief in 'coz they provide proof' always have there own glitches, once they believed dat the the galaxies and stars around us are coming closer, but now after decades some have come up with proofs that infact these stars and other are moving away from our galaxy at a very alarming speed... Image looking up one nyt and not seeing any star again(4ever gone) now this is wat has been taught 2 millions of physics students decades ago. What makes you think one day another random scientist won't spring up and come and counter the law of gravity? Now they're are even saying again that it's no more a single universe that there're other universe out there lolgrin 'MULTIVERSE'. I grew up believing there's a universe even taught in physics.

I've found that there are a number of very odd beliefs amongst Nigerians that they will happily bring to the fore - such as a belief in witches and withcraft.

That's not to say that other nationalities don't hold peculiar beliefs but because of the Nigerian need to be overly brazen and needlessly loud it comes across as even more foolish.

The other thing I would add as pertaining religion (Christianity in particular) and Nigerians is that if you were to look at what Nigerians believed prior to the incursion of European missionaries and what they claim to believe today not a great deal has changed. They simply replaced the myths of one backwards peoples for another.
