naijadeyhia: You can't discuss coherently Your passive aggressive style ain't helping either I've noticed you barely want a conversation, just arguments back and forth, so when you meet someone that wants conversation you're not used to it Now let me tell you something you already know but are playing dumb about to make a conclusion in your head Islam Judaism and Christianity are all "Abrahamic religion" they all worship the same god in different ways Your intellectual dishonesty and lies is appalling |

hopefulLandlord: My Sincere heartfelt message to you (not kidding) is that you should study before arriving at conclusions. I have studied works of atheists, before i arrived at my own little conclusions about them. But its not fair when u make conclusions on religion as a topic and also then assume evrybody does what u do. No, not right. Study is vital, be u atheist or non atheist. Or else u stick to ur own lane, while avoiding making conclusion on what u have not studied. Thats just all I can tell u. I wont say more Because I know atheist never like to be exposed. Thats Why Many of the powerful ones among them kill many of their followers for opposing their views. U may be different tho. Selah. |

felixomor: I've studied and still studying, I suggest you don't stop studying
Life is too short to study all religions up close bro, I'm sure you only studied a handful out of the thousands available and I'm certain you were born into a home of Yahweh believers which went a long way into influencing your choice
I advice you do the same, study all religions, I'm sure you won't finish before you're dead
good contributions so far
I prefer keeping my anonymity, thanks You talking Islam here?

hopefulLandlord: Again, I was not born a christian. (there u go again,) We once worshipped many different gods. I am a product of grace, I wasnt saved by my quest. that asides, gods are numerous but "religions" are lesser in number. And if u study well, many of the "gods" u refer to are simply "mediators" so to say. Many religions believe in a single creator who made the universe while they pray through these "mediators". And if u feel they are too many for study, simply stay in the middle by saying "I dont know' or "we cant say" Thats it. |

naijadeyhia:Mr oga..in ur long note...u made reference to the bible...a bible which u cant prove its authenticity...or can u?.. A bible which i can confidently boast of bringing over 50 lies in it?.. On morality...well have u had a pet once?...morality aint limited to humans..if thats ur belief.. Morality is a cultural concept with a basis in evolutionary psychology and game theory (jst a theory..bt has proofs). Species whose members were predisposed to cooperate were more likely to survive and pass on their genes. Reciprocacy, altruism and other so-called ‘moral’ characteristics are evident in many species . The neurochemical thought to regulate morality and empathy is oxytocin .. Morals are very evidents in chimps.birds etc... On ur concept of god morality sef.. The god character of the Bible is a misogynistic tyrant that condones and even orders the practice of slavery, rape of women and murder of children. The moment you disagree with a single instruction of the Bible, such as the command to kill any bride who is not a virgin or any child who disrespects their parents, then you acknowledge that there exists a superior standard by which to judge moral action and thus no need to rely on an ancient, primitive and barbaric fantasy. ..it seems ure saying without god..we cant do right tinzz? On an intelligent designer... Complexity does not imply design and does not prove the existence of a god. Even if design could be established we cannot conclude anything about the nature of the designer (Aliens?). Furthermore, many biological systems have obvious defects consistent with the predictions of evolution by means of natural selection. The appearance of complexity and order in the universe is the result of spontaneous self- organisation and pattern formation, caused by chaotic feedback between simple physical laws and rules. All the complexity of the universe, all its apparent richness, even life itself, arises from simple, mindless rules repeated over and over again for billions of years. Current scientific theories are able to clearly explain how complexity and order arise in physical systems. Any lack of understanding does not immediately imply ‘god’. In chemistry..Note: Crystallisation is one example of how matter can readily self-organise into complex, ordered shapes and structures eg. Bismuth. Even planets have been observed to form out of nebulae.. A wise man..said this.. “I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.” – Richard Dawkins.. And i concur There's no living relative of ur historical jesus...we have seen a lotta cases where humans are willing to die for their misquided beliefs?..a lot of them..i can gv u some if u want...u can ask me... Also testimonies which ur messianic jewish believers friends recorded were highly false...take for example the total darkness..earthquake and dead ghosts rising up and roaming the city..it is suprising that such record of such phenomenal events do not exist awtside of ur bible..wow..and suprisingly only matthew recorded these walking deads...one begins to wonder.. Also..take king herod's wonderful massacre of kids 2 years and below....theres no such record of such a massacre by contemporary historians outside of the bible...not even josephus who documented herod's life in detail mentioned of it.. If every human life has a value because it was created by god..what abt life of animals which ur god supposedly created?..valueless?..all shvts.. Atheism boring?....did u jst say this? Science adjusts it’s understanding based on what’s observed. Faith/religion is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.” – Tim Minchin.. I actually think religion defines that i repeat.. A wise man..said this.. “I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.” – Richard Dawkins.. Amnesty for atheists?...what shud be asked or said is ''what wud convince an atheist of a god's existence? A particular standard of evidence is required to prove any claim..this standard is adjusted based oon the claim made..since gods existence is and extraordinary claim?..hence extraordinary evidence is needed this standard is immediately more than personal anecdote..witness testimony..ancient book or reported miracle-none of which can be considered extraordinarily reliable...the human mind is highly suspectible to being fooled and even fooling itself..one cud be suffering frm a form of undiagnosed hysteria or psychosis ruling out even our ownn senses as reliable evidence gathering mechanisms in this case.. Every conceivable arguement...every imaginable piece of evidence for god is not without some fatal flaw or more likely explanation which precludes it frm being used as definitive proof...NOTE:this is different frm being a close minded fellow..the simple answer to this question is:God is what it takes to convice an atheist..an ominiscient god wud knw the exact standard of evidence required to convince an atheist or anybody of its existence and being ominipotent wud provide such.. On ur case of Hitler and Nazi's..pls do ur research well...i beg u Hitler was religious and publicly decried atheism..stalinism and communism exercised gosateizm based on idea of marxism-leninism atheism was a means to an end...NOT A CAUSE:.. ''we are convinced that the people need and require this faith.We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement,and that not merely with a few theoritical declarations:we have stamped it out.''-Adolf Hitler... A picture of catholic priests performing a nazi salute below... Also one the concept of evil or bad..pls refer to isiah 45:7...and tell me what it means?..he clearly said he creates evil...simple as abc 1 Like

felixomor:Hitler himself possessed radical instincts in relation to the conflict with the Churches in Germany. Though he occasionally spoke of wanting to delay the Church struggle and was prepared to restrain his anti-clericalism out of political considerations, his "own inflammatory comments gave his immediate underlings all the license they needed to turn up the heat in the Church Struggle, confident that they were 'working towards the Fuhrer,'" according to Kershaw. [29] In public speeches, he did not portray himself and the Nazi movement to the German people as outspoken proponents of atheism, but rather as faithful Christians. In 1928 Hitler said in a speech: "We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity ... in fact our movement is Christian." Nazism itself was a religion, a pagan religion, and Hitler was its high priest(Messiah)... Its high altar [was] Germany itself and the German people, their soil and forests and language and traditions". Think best graded as deism.. Hitler wanted to kind of unify the protestant churches into a single church with smtin labelled as positive christianity.. My point here is that hitler was religious Another speech [b]''I would like here to appeal to a greater than I, Count Lerchenfeld. He said in the last session of the Landtag that his feeling 'as a man and a Christian' prevented him from being an anti- Semite. I say: My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian, I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."[/b] HITLER'S PUBLIC SPEECH AGAINST ATHEISM In early 1933, Hitler publicly defended National Socialism against charges that it was anti-Christian. Responding to accusations by Eugen Bolz, the Catholic Centre Party Staatspräsident of Württemberg, that the National Socialist movement threatened the Christian faith, he said: “ And now Staatspräsident Bolz says that Christianity and the Catholic faith are threatened by us. And to that charge I can answer: In the first place it is Christians and not international atheists who now stand at the head of Germany. I do not merely talk of Christianity, no, I also profess that I will never ally myself with the parties which destroy Christianity. If many wish today to take threatened Christianity under their protection, where, I would ask, was Christianity for them in these fourteen years when they went arm in arm with atheism? No, never and at no time was greater internal damage done to Christianity than in these fourteen years when a party, theoretically Christian, sat with those who denied God in one and the same Government. — Adolf Hitler,Speech delivered at Stuttgart 15 February 1933" a whole lot more that shows he is religious |

winner01: In respect to 1, I have noticed a pattern where Christian apologists like you concede that humans create their bad luck in order to avoid the divine purpose from being defeated. For example here you say Hell was destined for demons and the devils but not humans. But by God's omniscience and on account of his foreknowledge he would have known humans would be accommodated in Hell. So the divine purpose is rubbished. No2. I struggle to understand the curative effect of the death of a man or the death of Jesus. It does not cure the injustice present today. The fatal flaw in man which leads him to sin isn't cured. A fully grown born again falls and lapses into the same sins. Worse off, born agains are now classical hypocrites. As long as men sin and commit injustice, Jesus's death is pointless. 4. You will never fully understand when you refuse to see that a fundamental cornerstone of your religion is assuming the devil is the originator of evil. And for God to be an absolute being from which everything owes an origin, he has to willingly create evil. |

Go to North Korea and see what "supreme leader" means. I showed u a quote from Hitler, By that quote alone, u should be able to make a conclusion. No Christian can ever make such statement. Many atheists, here even on nairaland started life as christians and even some say they still attend church with their family.

Other core Nazi members who labelled their movement as a christian one... “ Dr Zoellner and [Catholic Bishop of Munster] Count Galen have tried to make clear to me that Christianity consists in faith in Christ as the son of God. That makes me laugh... No, Christianity is not dependent upon the Apostle's Creed... True Christianity is represented by the party, and the German people are now called by the party and especially the Fuehrer to a real Christianity... the Fuehrer is the herald of a new revelation." — Hans Kerrl, Nazi Minister for Church Affairs, 1937 ” “ We are no theologians, no representatives of the teaching profession in this sense, put forth no theology. But we claim one thing for ourselves: that we place the great fundamental idea of Christianity in the center of our ideology [Ideenwelt]- the hero and sufferer Christ himself stands in the center."[46] — Hans Schemm, Nazi Gauleiter ” source:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nazi_Germany @felix |

raphieMontella: My Belief really?, When u say somebody is [b]religious, I really want to know what u mean. Are u using the dictionary meaning or what? Here is a cut From the same reliable page u quoted. (Not my own source o) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler [b] Views on religion Main article: Religious views of Adolf Hitler Hitler was born to a practising Catholic mother and an anticlerical father; after leaving home Hitler never again attended Mass or received the sacraments.[368][369][370] Speer states that Hitler made harsh pronouncements against the church to his political associates and though he never officially left it, he had no attachment to it.[371] He adds that Hitler felt that in the absence of the church the faithful would turn to mysticism, which he considered a step backwards.[371] According to Speer, Hitler believed that either Japanese religious beliefs or Islam would have been a more suitable religion for the Germans than Christianity, with its "meekness and flabbiness".[372] Historian John S. Conway states that Hitler was fundamentally opposed to the Christian churches.[373] According to Bullock, Hitler did not believe in God, was anticlerical, and held Christian ethics in contempt because they contravened his preferred view of "survival of the fittest".[374] He favoured aspects of Protestantism that suited his own views, and adopted some elements of the Catholic Church's hierarchical organisation, liturgy, and phraseology in his politics.[375] Hitler viewed the church as an important politically conservative influence on society,[376] and he adopted a strategic relationship with it that "suited his immediate political purposes".[373] In public, Hitler often praised Christian heritage and German Christian culture, though professing a belief in an "Aryan Jesus", one who fought against the Jews.[377] Any pro-Christian public rhetoric was at variance with his private statements, which described Christianity as "absurdity"[378] and nonsense founded on lies.[379] According to a U.S. Office of Strategic Services report, "The Nazi Master Plan", Hitler planned to destroy the influence of Christian churches within the Reich.[380][381] His eventual goal was the total elimination of Christianity.[382] This goal informed Hitler's movement early on, but he saw it as inexpedient to express this extreme position publicly.[383] According to Bullock, Hitler wanted to wait until after the war before executing this plan.[384] Speer wrote that Hitler had a negative view of Himmler's and Alfred Rosenberg's mystical notions and Himmler's attempt to mythologise the SS. Hitler was more pragmatic, and his ambitions centred on more practical concerns.[385][386.................[/b] ======================================================================================== Maybe we will have to settle it by using the dictionary meaning of who a "religious person" is. |
