KingEbukaNaija: Lol. The slave traders that invaded Africa and shipped out forefathers to the US were mainly protestants though. Regardless, the Spanish inquisition and crusades were carried out in the name of Christ Agreed? |

hahn: Hahn , stop lying ! The missionaries were Catholics . You don forget ? They commit peccadilloes and believe it would be forgiven after they die and then vaporate into Heaven . With that apparent pretext , you have been given the carte blanche . Regardless, the Spanish inquisition and crusades were carried out in the name of Christ Come on bro ! For it is written Matthew 7:21-23 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. False prophets also use the name of Christ to finagle cash from credulous people . Some use the name of Christ to inveigle you into doing something you don't want to do . But can you adduce anything as proof for your claim ? Its a widespread belief that name of Christ was used to enslave Africans - that is certainly preposterous . How was that even possible ? Care to explain with proof of course . |

dalaman: Never seen one . In Nigeria . Its impossible . The Caucasians have the penchant to love and care for animals - that I understand wella - but a black man to treat dogs that well , me I never see oo . I'll like to ask Seun who has dogs . Bro Seun if one of your dogs you love very much is about to drown with a total stranger- a Muslim in particular - will you save the dog or the Muslim stranger if you have the opportunity to save just one . |

KingEbukaNaija: So, when people do good it is in the name of Christ. When they do bad in the name of Christ, they are false prophets. Lol. How convenient Unless you are trying to be intellectual dishonest, you cannot argue that Christians were the first slave traders in Africa. In fact, Jesus is the name of the first slave ship to reach the borders of Africa Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_ship What about the current killing and stigmatizing of children by that pastor in Akwa Ibom? I noticed you ignored that thread even though it was on fp and I mentioned your other moniker. What about old women who are accused of being witches and summarily beaten up due to Christian doctrine? What about Christians who beat up and burn thieves here in Nigeria? What about corrupt officials who loot public funds? They are mostly Christians or Muslims? 2 Likes 1 Share |

hahn: Because Christ was morally good . Unless you are trying to be intellectual dishonest, you cannot argue that Christians were the first slave traders in Africa. In fact, Jesus is the name of the first slave ship to reach the borders of Africa Your sauce did not taste anything like Jesus being on the name of a slave ship or Christians being the first slave traders in Africa . In fact , the first slave traders in Africa were Africans themselves - the Barbary slave trade - where white Europeans were enslaved by North Africans . What about the current killing and stigmatizing of children by that pastor in Akwa Ibom? I noticed you ignored that thread even though it was on fp and I mentioned your other moniker. Bro , because a pastor commits despicable crimes against humanity does not imply that Christianity assents to that . What about old women who are accused of being witches and summarily beaten up due to Christian doctrine? That's Judaism not Christianity . That's what happens when they won't attend good Church , attending road side churches or being taught the word by bling preachers is very pernicious to one's mental state . What about Christians who beat up and burn thieves here in Nigeria? Jungle Justice is barbaric and those that do that are mere illiterates . The illiterates are preponderant in this country . They kill delinquents and people who commit larceny but the politicians who peculate public funds and subject them to abject poverty or adversities are walking free in their own streets ! "Who that is without sin among you , should cast the first stone ... " - Christ said it What about corrupt officials who loot public funds? They are mostly Christians or Muslims? Being religious does not imply godliness . Christ even rejected religion . |

naijadeyhia:Atheists don't believe in money morality, the morality that is done for the sake of huge mansions and golden streets after DEATH. When the atheists and f/a\gs came to free African children from being r.aped by the Evangelical Christians during the US Civil War, they were not doing it for an afterlife reward. |

Re: Atheism And Morality; Do Atheists Have A Foundation For Morality by dalaman: 9:37am On Jul 24, 2016 |
winner01: The life of Christ is a myth as such no christian can live such a life. Even you can not live the life of Christ. After all Christ promised those of you that believe in him to live like him and do greater things than we were told he did. You personally can do no such thing so I wonder why you are talking about thelife of christ, something that you personally can not even emulate. |

winner01: It is true, despite all the christians claims non of then can live the life Jesus outlined in the bible because it is impossible. It is just like the promise Jesus gave and promise to those that believe in him, no christian can demonstrate it because it is a mythical promise. No christian can live or do what Jesus said because it is impossible. If it were possible we will see Christians living the life, since it's impossible no christian can do it. You winner01 can not live the live Jesus told people to live in the bible, you can not demonstrate any of the things he promised you. You can't do it because it's mythical. 2 Likes 1 Share |

dalaman: I go half the day winner01 indulges in a reasonable discussion. I really do not understand why theists put themselves through so much stress. Why bother subjecting yourself to a life of rules you cannot reasonably live by? They claim the bible is god's word but can't live by it's guidelines. When you through some verses about wealth and paradise in the afterlife they will "claim it" but when you tell them about stoning people who work on Sundays, or killing your wife because she is not a virgin on your wedding night, they will tell you that you need the holy spirit to understand the verse. It is intellectual dishonesty. The willingness to subject yourself to slavery/subjugation, the unwillingness to think for yourself and have goat herders 2,000 years ago think and justify morality on your behalf, the yearning for constant surveillance by an imaginary being who watches and will punish you for wan.king but watches innocent women being raped and kids dying daily and does nothing about it but expects us to believe it is working in "mysterious ways" etc. It is this kind of thinking that holds us back as a specie. Man does not need god to interfere in our daily activity because it's presence is obviously useless |
Re: Atheism And Morality; Do Atheists Have A Foundation For Morality by dalaman: 10:41am On Jul 24, 2016 |
hahn: He can not even practice the pacifist teachings of Jesus. No christian can do it. It's impossible just as the promise that everything you ask for in prayers will be given to you once you believe. All these are just mythical stuffs. |
Re: Atheism And Morality; Do Atheists Have A Foundation For Morality by winner01(m): 1:31pm On Jul 24, 2016 |
dalaman:We strive to be like Christ because He set a perfect standard. Why do you want imperfect people to stop looking up to a standard of perfection. No matter your desperation and epistles, we know we are not perfect, and we wont stop trying to attain perfection like Christ commanded. hahn:Useless to you. Why do you need God to be useless in the lives of others. If you were once unfortunate and blamed it on God, dont think you can make other people who make God a vital part of their lives share in your woes. All the nonsense you quotes is what you desperately want to be true and not the truth. We've dealt with most of the crap you put up there. Innocent people are raped and killed blah blah blah. It is consistent with scriptures. Evil exists and thats the reality. Wish God away all you want while you still have the strength. |
Re: Atheism And Morality; Do Atheists Have A Foundation For Morality by dalaman: 2:15pm On Jul 24, 2016 |
winner01: Bla bla bla. You can not live the kind of pacifist life as outlined by Jesus in the bible. No human being can do it because it is impossible. Jesus promised those that have faith in him that whatever they ask for in prayers they will get. That is false as well. Trying to live the pacifist life of Jesus is impossible that is why no christian can do it. |

winner01: You're one of those people who claim to speak to a so called all seeing creator and yet still disobey him knowing that the punishment is suya death after your natural death. Do I look like a foo.l to you. Hahaha. I haven't met any human brave enough to enter hot grill for eternity. Just by admitting that you disobey the non human with whom you speak, you have declared unintentionally that you're telling lies. Are you a suicidal person? 2 Likes |
