Anuoluwap: If this was so existent as religionists make it out to be, we wouldn't have been here debating it. Why are we not debating "the moon"? God conviction starts and ends in your mind. Everybody cannot believe what you believe. 7 Likes |

Martian: I'm not an atheist because I don't have a reason to affirm or deny the existence of mythical creatures. Great answer. Let me add that even if there is a being responsible for what we call universe, the bigger and next question would still be who created the being, considering, as the op and most people have asserted that something( in this case the being) cannot come from nothing, and that whatever exists must have a creator. Therefore, the existence of god would contradict his very existence. 6 Likes |

plaetton:@martian In addition, let me also point out that God/Gods (as in ancient spiritualities not Abrahamic religions) are personified characters based on the people's knowledge and understanding of the universe. So the greeks would have a different God representing the same force as an Igbo God |

5minsmadness: No I'm not troubled because it's not "all mythology" that have the mud aspect. If you look at Art, the earliest forms we have evidence for are either drawings or molded sculptures. So we can deduce that people in different cultures gave their ability to create molded sculptures to the deities they created. Hence, god made people out of mud just like people made things out of mud. 5minsmadness: Could it be possible that early on in man's history the truth was simple and well known but as time went on and man traversed the earth and seperated from each other and different languages came up that the story got muddled up in the process. What truth was well known? Besides, not all cultures have mud people stories. http://www.gly.uga.edu/railsback/CS/CSIndex.html 5minsmadness: Does similarity here not give a clue that a supernatural being was involved in man's creation? And do you notice how all ultimate supernatural beings have the same characteristic as God almighty? What is "God Almighty"? Does it have the same characteristics as The Great Leprechaun? 5minsmadness: Second bolded, has it occurred to you that the Almighty entity has tried time and again to make himself known to us, hence the salvation story? Well, this "Almighty" guy can get on Youtube, Faceboook, Twitter, Instagram, CNN, FOX News. Al Jazeera, CCCN, C-SPAN, NTA, AIT, MSNBC, ESPN,,...............................MySpace. etc and make himself known. 3 Likes |

Martian:Wait, what? This your analogy makes no sense. Why didnt they just say people came out of the water or a great beast birthed them? Why the mud and the breathing of life? What truth was well known? Besides, not all cultures have mud people stories. So I clicked your link and looked through some but not all of the topics at random as there were too many. Earth, mud, land, rock, they all point to the same thing. Can't you see the similarity? Why didn't someone make man from water? Or air? There is a similarity in the creation story concerning man, (not the gods) no matter how bizzaire other parts of the story gets. Unless you deliberately don't want to see it. What is "God Almighty"? Does it have the same characteristics as The Great Leprechaun?And what do you know is "The Great Leprechaun?" If such a thing existed wouldn't it have beenemtioned in man's history? Can't you see such examples are given by atheist bodies to ridicule the idea of a supernatural being solely and so shouldn't be taken seriously? Well, this "Almighty" guy can get on Youtube, Faceboook, Twitter, Instagram, CNN, FOX News. Al Jazeera, CCCN, C-SPAN, NTA, AIT, MSNBC, ESPN,,...............................MySpace. etc and make himself known. And then what? You'll come on your knees to worship him if he does that? I doubt it. You'll probably go on about how its a hoax and how the Americans have devised a means to brainwash the masses. Besides God tried numerous times in the past to communicate directly with man, man simply goes 'wow' and then forgets after some time. All religion, although diverse, have a common similarity. There is a God. That God may have demigods under him or send out emmissaires or have a Son but it still remains that there is a God. The last major spiritual upheaval is God sending his Son to die so that you can inherit eternal life in heaven. You don't need to do anything extra special like the Jews or Buddhists or Pagans. No need for any special atonement. Just believe in the salvation of God's son and be saved. So simple. Yet so difficult to follow for so many. Personally I think God has tried and if He has decided to leave us to rot in our ways I won't blame Him one bit. The bible actually warns that days like these will come when there will be a loss of faith on earth and people will be full of themselves, beat their chests and say 'there is no god.' and that the faithful should beware of those days. I don't intend to preach or convert you to the Christian faith. I think most atheists on this forum are not angry at God per se, how can they be angry at someone they don't believe even exists . I think they are angry at the behaviour of Christians they have come across at one point or the other in their lives, or because they prayed for something and didn't get it. Is that disappointment really enough to risk your soul for? In your search for truth through science, remember to keep an eye out for things that science cannot explain. Try not to build on science so much as it tends to shift like the wind with new evidence. Be mad at Christians and pentecostal zealots with their fire and brimstone judgmental, holier-than-thou attitude but give God himself a chance by keeping your mind open to possibilities. 2 Likes |

Yes I'm honest with my self. I believe in God. I'm christain because I was born one and I like Jesus' teachings. But I don't honestly believe that all others are condemned to hell because they are not christains. I don't know what to make of that. But I try to understand other people's religions too whenever I come across them. EnlightenedSoul: |
