stagger: Are you the one that created hell or heaven? Who do you think you are to determine who is hell or heaven bound? Is heaven or hell your father's property? Go siddon joo!

Well, I don't believe they exist but you do. So you have to lead by example and convince people they exist. If people like you will go to the Christian heaven, then almost the whole world population will be there.

tgirl1986: I agree that religion and politics should not mix, i've always had that opinion. But you didn't answer all my questions..you gave me a percentage, don't know how authentic it is, but even if that were true, what do agnostics believe? Do they rule out totally the existence of a creator?

Agnostic says all the religious gods does not exist because there is no logical or scientific proof to back their existence. However, they don't rule out the possibility of the existence of a super natural being because they have not been able to proof that wrong either. So they rather stay neutral

aliya247: i pray God give you understanding don't think like Job, God's ways are mysterious there is so much we don't know about God. If His ways are not reveal to you, you won't know so many things. For what you said, you just committed the same sin with satan PRIDE. Do you know where wind comes from, can you number the hair on your head. Where were you when God laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if you have understanding. Did you ever tell the sun to rise? Where is the home of light and where does darkness live? You know nothing. You need Christ.

You also know nothing but think you know by quoting text from ancient book with no logical or rational backup

tgirl1986: Nigeria is the way it is because the people in it are hypocrites..they do not practise what they preach..u cannot pray to God for a better Nigeria when theives are allover the place..wether they become atheists tomoro, they'll still remain robbers...they just use God as a cover. I mean we all have a role to play..but man, no matter how hard we try cannot solve all our problems..yes we can fly to the moon, but can't solve racism, can't live in peace here on earth, then what are we doing in space? And there are tins man didn't provide e.g the air we breathe, the water we drink, our planet earth, the food we eat...these are tins necessary for existence, who do we thank for them? I also wanna ask what percentage of the so called civilized WHITE people are atheists?

In Europe more than 50% are Atheist/ Agnostic. If you check the history of the world development in recent times, many of the people that made ground breaking discovery that revolutionalized the world are Atheist or Agnostic. The majorly religious population in America are consumers and not creator of technology. The tiny Atheist population in the US have contributed to development of the human race than you would expect based on their low population because they probe their environment to understand the mechanism of the world. Also america was wise to separate government and religion.

Timileyin: I pity this man and is story. You A̶̲̥̅®ε̲̣̣̣̥ just moving towards the part of destruction, A̶̲̥̅®ε̲̣̣̣̥ you really a christain or just a sunday church goer. You better close this story and go down on your kneels and re seTtle with God. The devil is using you and you A̶̲̥̅®ε̲̣̣̣̥ finding excuses and people to blame for it. Go and read about job, he loosed more than you did and God restored his happiness.

You are one of the biggest gullible fool out there. How can someone reason this daft! Do you have a child to start with?

stagger: That does not stop me from telling a man who is supposed to have brains but acting like a retard that he is one. Some of you think that being a born again Christian requires the person to recoil into his shell and act like a mugu. Sorry, you don jam rock!

You are purely hell bound based on your behaviour. You're not an inch Christlike as you all preach.

tgirl1986: That's why u preach d gospel of atheism...is this a racial issue for you? I think what will be more degrading for Africans is to believe we evolved from apes...at least it is to me. Considering the fact that we are the ones they easily call monkeys.

The whites and other race easily call us monkey because most blacks do not reason deep with their brain and are very docile, irrational in thought and very superstitious. No country can develop by depending on god for solution to their problem because the god you pray to doesn't exist. No god will do for man what man must do for himself.
People need to be de-converted from religion because religion locks the mind, kills curiosity and destroys the reasoning power of the brain.

stagger: You have already come to a verdict without investigation. Even a 6 year old child will know better. A cret/inous imbe.cile is what you are.

Are you not suppose to be a born again Christian?

buzugee: i see you still owe the lord a few slaps, if you think this is gibberish. see the lord does not want you to be healed just yet because you owe him some slaps. that is why he has made your heart calloused isaiah 6 vs 10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."

I abandoned religion 16 years ago and I am better off today. Simply put, your god doesn't exist so stop dreaming about some mansions and servants you were promised in the sky.

buzugee: really ? gibberish ?

yes bro!

buzugee: this aint no zionist theories my good Chief. this here is pure unadulterated reality.

deuteronomy 28 vs 48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in unclothedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.

more gibberish

Joagbaje: Watch the video and see how wrong you are.

Have you heard of the word PROPAGANDA? That's what this is about just like you all said Yookos is taking over Facebook. Very funny delusional people.

buzugee: Well for now yes but the roles will be reversed soon and edom will be the one being punished while black people will rule the world again.
LAMENTATIONS 4 VS 21 -22 21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
22 The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins. BASICALLY WHAT THAT IS SAYING IS THAT WE SONS OF ZION ( SO CALLED BLACK FOLKS ) HAVE RECIEVED OUR PUNISHMENT AND THE CUP OF WRATH OF THE LORD WILL BE PASSED OVER TO EDOM ( WHITE FOLKS ) NEXT.

am i a black person ? some would say that, personally i think i am a shade of brown. why would i worship such a God ? because i see the logic in his modus operandus ( as laid out in the bible). the logic makes extremely perfect sense. is fair. balanced and impartial. see once you know the logic, then you stop fighting the lord. those who cant see the logic, like yourself, will still keep fighting and resisting him

Brother Buzugee don't you get tired of your racist Zionist theories?

uadubasim: @cyrexx I know you truly want answers. My God will reveal his mind to you in a special way before this week ends. @solidbroda because you have taken it upon yourself to blaspheme the holy God, You will be washed away soon even though you think you are solid, you will be proven to be liquid.

You are just a big foool. Your fu.c.king god doesn't exist so stop being delusional. Answer questions logically and stop giving empty threat which many Christians before you have done with zero effect on their victim. You are a failure to the human race!

Uncle Jo please stop this propaganda because it is obvious you have no idea about Europeans and the Romanian people. They are not as docile or easily deceived by con men like pastor Chris

Frendys: Your intention is wrong and short sighted. If at this stage of your life you have become articulate at undermining your institution openly then you will never see good in anyone or anything else. You are doomed because you have no sense of gratitude and value. Public institutions are no different or better.
You may come to realize later in life that the moral the institution wants you to imbibe will be a bonus to your life. Two of my family members who graduated from CU are highly placed in the US and Britain respectively and they value the foundation of Christian moral they received while in CU. And they are godly. No doubt every institution has its drawback.
The other OP “Muskeeto” that ‘knows all’ about his church’s finances, I only have pity for you. You can’t break the Church of Jesus Christ…you will be broken instead.
Please realize that the money for developing and maintaining the school comes from the tithes, donations and offerings of the church members and not from the federal government purse!
Every great institution has a humble beginning: A wise son will make his father proud.

I went to a public institution named University of Lagos where my tuition from year 1 to year 3 was 355 naira, while year 4 and year 5 tuition was around 5000 naira and 8000 naira respectively yet things were not close to as bad as the OP portrayed Redeemer University. Also, I didn't attend Unilag in the 80's but from 1999 to 2005, which is very recent.
If tuition is as much as 600,000 naira, the quality of everything should be as good as obtainable abroad. You don't have to defend Redeemer University simply because it is a Christian University.

narttis1: @OP, instead of writing a thesis to tell us why your school is bad, dont you think its better you find yourself another school? there are a lot of schools in Nigereia.is anybody forcing you to remain there?

You are really one of the zombie Nigerian that refuse to see reality because a man of god or church is affected. The problem with Nigeria is that we only think about ourself. Someone is coming out to make allegation about abnormal practice in his school and all you could say is the nonsense you types above. Another problem is that the regulators of education in Nigeria are so religious that I doubt if anything will be done to investigate the incompetency of the school authority.

Mr_Anony: Classic example of someone twisting scripture to serve his own evil purposes. Femi Aribisila is clearly not a born again judging from this article. I wish I had the time to thoroughly refute this guys claims.

This is why I said you see the truth and look at the other side

Master_1: Xtians dnt seem to av free will or any cerebral activities of any sort.....

1. Confront them with reasonable arguments and all they will say in reply is "we are too minor in our thinking to understand" and they kinda say this a lot.
2. They believe every problem they encounter is a spiritual attack.
3. When they should be working, they are busy with church programs and all they pray abt in these churches won't be far frm having problems with their work.
4. They all believe they are the "chosen ones", they believe they are the best! How can all of u be the best?? Wealth is a relative term, u can only be rich if others are poor!!!! I can't stress that enuf!!
5. When they will post on this topic, they will refer to me as SATANIC.

What you said is very true especially when you're dealing with Nigerian Christian. Some even go as far as looking for the dumbest reason to justify their believes. The brain is meant for independent thinking but in a situation where people refuse to use it to make personal decision but instead wait for pastors to tell them what to do, the consequence is what you have in Nigeria.

Mr_Anony: First of all you first accused me of walking away from the truth which implies that you must know the truth that I am turning away from. However,
Do you agree that there can only be one truth amongst multiple stories i.e. if there are many accounts, one must be true and others false?
Do you agree that the only way to know the truth is by trying it?

(Scenario 1)There can be thousands of stories that are false simply because they were generated by people with no true understanding of the subject matter they are trying to analyse and in the process coming up with stories with no objectivity in them. As someone with a strong science background, I believe hypothesis if they have some level of objectivity in them and theories if there is a proof. So I do not agree with your question universally. (Scenario 2)Sometimes you can have several stories on a subject matter with one being the truth of all the stories. How are you sure your story doesn't fall under Scenario 1 or Scenario 2?

Mr_Anony: Please read that post again my friend, I quoted you exactly as you stated. I have tried to reason with you, please show me the flaws in my argument. I would have asked you what is truth? but you are out.......too bad. All the same, consider what we've talked about, think seriously about it and I pray you make the right decision. Goodbye for now.

I didn't read your response properly before I made the last post. You asked a very good question which is "what is the truth ?". Let me throw the question back and ask you why you think Christian doctrine is the truth when you have other religious dogma like Islam, Buddhism, Ayyavazhi, Bhakti Movement, Hinduism, Confucianism, Shinto, Taoism etc. Bible is just one of the religious books out there so what proof do you have that it is the truth of all the different sects?
Also sorry for any insult because your responses have been very matured!

Mr_Anony: Incidentally I live in London which is as multicultural as it gets.



I do not make any laws. All I ask is to challenge what the law defines as good and evil seeing that laws vary. By the way atheists in Nigeria are not discriminated against, they are not imprisoned, denied job opportunities, or persecuted by the Nigerian society, at best an atheist in Nigeria is ridiculed as they make fun of theists in return. Incidentally it is usually the atheist who incites hostilities by bashing religion. No one can ever be coerced into becoming a christian in the true sense of the word. Do not play the victim card here.

Europe/ America is so diverse in culture that they have studied their environment to know how best to develop their society so that people can live in peace. I might not like the gay concept, but as long as a gay person does not do anything that affect my peace, I have no right to tell them what sexual orientation to have or how to live their life provided they don't go against the law.
Everything in life evolve. According to your bible, the bible god told the Israelite to fight alot of wars and at thesame time gave Moses the 10th commandment one of which is "thou shall not kill". Will you call your god the bible god good for killing so many innocent people? Can you also
I'll give you an analogy; murder is a crime by UK law and yet the Government sends soldiers out to murder people in the name of war. These soldiers do not commit a crime because they kill on behalf of the state. If you follow it in context you would understand it thus: God is a judge and the payment for sin is death. The Israelites in this case are merely executioners carrying out God's sentence hence they do not sin in this instance. There are also times when God sends other nations to kill the Israelites as punishment when they sinned.

Now to your question, I can only answer you if you have travel round the world and see how different cultural practices have influenced how people live and the quality of life they get. There was a period when the whole of Europe was ravaged by war. Then war was a good and legal way of proving your superiority over other nations. There was also a period when slavery was legal and even defended with texts from the bible. But we all know that war is generally disliked and slavery is a war crime so sometimes good or bad can be relative. But there are some basics things in life that are good and bad based on basic laws of nature.

Incidentally I consider myself to be quite traveled that aside, You say war was good at some point (please at what point was this?) do you mean to say that people who hand lost relatives and limbs in those days when asked about war would say "Oh this is fantastic! I can't wait for the next war"? (sarcasm just in case you missed it) As for slavery, in the bible, this is the Chistian stance on slavery, gender equality and racism/tribalism. "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:26-28 (NKJV)(mind you this was written about 2000 years ago) you see as I have been saying, "legal" and "good" are not always the same thing.

Now here is a question for you: Bill Gate is an Agnostic that have donated billions of dollars to good causes like eradicating Polio from India that used to have the highest Polio infection rate in the world. He also award scholarships to alot of people and help them to achieve what they aspire to be. For your better education, here is the link of his foundation http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Pages/home.aspx
Does Bill gate do good?

Answer: does bill gates do good by giving away money? Yes, Definitely! [/i]Is Bill Gates a good person because he gives away money? No! [i]its like saying that some of the politicians are good because they are philanthropists even though they also steal Nigeria's money and some have killed people for rituals as well as political opponents.

The point I've been trying to make is 1. Legality is not a valid indicator of good and evil 2. There are moral absolutes 3. All it takes is one crime to make someone a criminal, one sin to make someone a sinner. You are not acquitted because your "good outweighs your bad"

I never said war is good. I only said war used to be good but man have evolve over time to condemn it, so don't quote me wrong.
If you agree that Bill Gate who is an Agnostic do good by giving out money, then Logicboy is absolutely 100% correct because your bible said no non believer does good, so what point are you trying to prove? Whether he's a good person or not is not what we are discussing and if you want to discuss that, open a new tread.

Mr_Anony: You will do well to take the time to read through my discourse with logicboy from the start of this thread before attacking my position. I would rather you pointed out to me the faults in my logic as per this thread rather than launch an attack at my person. The question I asked which you responded to but failed to answer is: "I disagree, good and evil are not subjective How can we know for sure if we are getting better or worse in defining good and evil if there is no absolute good and evil?"

Imagine living in an environment where there are Africans, Indians, Arabs, Chinese and Caucasians. You will strongly appreciate the diversity in life and also conclude that culture is more of a brain washing process which we are fed with from birth because the category of people I listed above think differently, have different religion which they hold on strongly, have different tradition believes, have different food culture etc.
Finding yourself in such environment will open your sense of reasoning and make you think of what to do in order to make people live together as a people in peace. Blacks complain of racism of white against them, but the discrimination against Atheist in Nigeria is worst than modern day racism. You make laws that suit your reasoning without thinking if thesame law will be fine with other people reasoning differently from you.
Europe/ America is so diverse in culture that they have studied their environment to know how best to develop their society so that people can live in peace. I might not like the gay concept, but as long as a gay person does not do anything that affect my peace, I have no right to tell them what sexual orientation to have or how to live their life provided they don't go against the law.

Does Bill gate do good?

debosky: Bros only you corner THREE scholarships? Considering your humble background I'm sure every penny came in handy.

PS - you might/might not know me, I also graduated from the same department a year before you.

Bros every penny count oooo because e no easy that time to survive, so yes they were a big relieve for me.
Also nice to know you graduated from Unilag Chemical Engineering as that department have really produced alot of Engineering professionals in the world.

flexyonline: I dare say Herriot Watt University compares favorably with Imperial in EVERY way when it comes to petroleum engineering education and industry perception in the UK.

Well Heriot Watt is good I agree with you, but the whole business boils down to getting a job and that is where Imperial stands out. There are also too many Nigerians in most British schools making it even harder for you to get a job but Imperial is more difficult to get into and also exposes you to more companies than Heriot Watt. Most people going abroad to study do so with the hope of getting a job there and get foreign experience but many of them are frustrated on graduation because they don't see this job after spending millions of naira, so they end up going back to Nigeria. Only few universities in the UK organise company days and even recommend their student to companies. I also have a friend who got a job through recommendation of his professor to a company while in Imperial College.
Jobs are harder these days as compared to how things were in the 90's and 2000's, so think wisely before making the decision to go abroad and study. Many Nigerian Imperial graduate are even jobless in Europe.

Mr_Anony: I disagree, good and evil are not subjective How can we know for sure if we are getting better or worse in defining good and evil if there is no absolute good and evil?
By the way, i have since updated the question I asked earlier. Please read and answer honestly. I have quoted here below:

Its very obvious you have not left Africa all your life hence the reason for your narrow minded reasoning. Logicboy don't wate your time discussing with someone who says no Atheist does good yet his god told the jews to kill alot of innocent people, encouraged slavery, commit adultery etc.
Mr Anony is part of the reason why nothing good will come out of that dark continent. The brain is meant for reasoning and not to accept stupid dogmas and end up being stupid yourself. Even Christian scholars admit there are lots errors in the bible.
