malvisguy212: Wait a minute. In the Bible Satan is the one who taught us to reason and question by tempting Eve to eat the fruit. Satan is actually the bringer of reason. Yahweh is the one who wants blind faith and obedience. 2 Likes |

Empiree: Uh. Let me give my personal story. I have twice been on flights that had to make emergency landings--one of them because one of the engines malfunctioned and stopped working. I did not pray or invoke any god or even think about such things. The other time the plane never lost any power but the navigation system malfunctioned. I was reading the God Delusion on the flight. I kept reading. I have been on a couple of other flights through very rough weather where other passengers were shouting. Once again, no prayer from me. End of stories. An atheist 4 Likes |

felixomor:both are used to express ''shock'' my point being;an exclamation does not deal with the existence of the word used nor does it dwell on the original meaning of the word.. Its an expression..the word used may exist..it may not..simple |

JESUS! U people still on this "oh God" issue? That post was ridiculous and did not merit any response. I can say oh god!, jesus, my god, as much as I want cos it's already part of conventional english and only natural exclamation on dare situations. |

Empiree:It should be obvious to any primary school student that you fabricated this ridiculous story entirely. When will people stop lying for Jesus? Same thing happened to Dawkins when he was debating theist. He forgot name of something and touched his forehead trying to remember. He said "oh God"By your logic, anyone who types "OMG" in a chat is not merely expressing surprise but actually earnestly crying out to God for salvation. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

frank317: Seun:So sad. As educated as you are, you failed to grab it is my analogy to get you to THINK!. And, yes, there is a "Air Crash Investigation" I watched where the flight crashed in the ocean during test. Of course, i cant confirm if the dude was Atheist or not. But when the plane nose dived, the dude screamed..."oh God oh God oh oh my God" and the plane hit the water. Watch the video below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83k1EukvvGA By your logic, anyone who types "OMG" in a chat is not merely expressing surprise but actually earnestly crying out to God for salvation.@highlighted, since Atheists dont believe in God and nothing, why dont they shouting "OMN" (oh my nothing) or "ON" (oh noting)?. My point to you and frank is, it is NATURAL INSTINCT to scream God for help whether you are a believer or not. Which means your nafs (inner spirit or inner self) recognizes The Supreme Being, God as Supreme authority over you. The Noble Qur'an says: "We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness? ~ Surah Fussilat [41:53] joseph1832:Bcus I am a witch! |

God /ɡɒd/ noun 1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being. 2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. 3. a greatly admired or influential person. 4. the gallery in a theatre. exclamation used for emphasis or to express emotions such as surprise, anger, or distress. http://www.google.com.ng/search?q=God+definition&btnG=&client=ms-opera-mini-android&channel=new I believe the bolded puts this ridiculous theist peurile reasoning to rest - Nairaland theist " An atheist shouts OMG therefore God exists" Jesus christ this is outstanding!!! 2 Likes 1 Share |
