You no well i swear grin
But really he could be a fictional character, considering that he was mentioned by just two historians, and Emperor constatine who was a pagan invented a lot of history about Christianity with some Flavour from other present pagan religions at that time, to create a universal state religion.

Na so!

have you ever thought the energy behind your consciousness (soul) won't be destroyed but transformed to another state (afterlife) when your body dies?
Or there's higher intelligence in greater dimensions?

there's no proof for afterlife

Pascal's Wager?

let me educate you

What a full-blown analysis of Pascal's Wager will actually lead you to conclude is this: "Find the deity who claims the most fiendish, grisly, excruciating, horrible tortures imaginable for disbelieving in him and give him your unswerving allegiance forever and ever, or that's what'll befall you! "

It results in a race to the bottom to see which "spiritual" huckster can come up with the most imaginatively and persuasively sadistic deity — a veritable carnival of carnage in the ongoing evolutionary contest for the hearts and minds of the gullible.

let me ask you, "If I tell you I will kill you unless you believe that 1+1=3, you may tell me that 1+1=3 just to save your life, but you won't actually believe it. Thus the Wager fails." Unless, of course, God can be impressed by atheists who merely pretend to believe so that they can avoid punishment.

So many people treat Pascal's Wager like the ultimate 'gotcha' that I have to wonder: Has it ever worked? Has there ever been someone who responded with "You're right! It is safer to believe! I will believe from now on! Thank you for saving my immortal soul!" Do these Pascal purveyors even care if anyone is convinced or not? Or is it another case of preaching to the choir? They can pat each other on the back and say "Ha ha, good one!"

Pascal's Wager rarely works on the outsider; it can only scare Christians from becoming atheists not make an atheist become Christian

OK you've made your own point clear. but still may God have mercy on you

I don't need his useless mercy, where was that mercy when the metal bars started raining down on the innocent worshippers?

he's better of directing his mercies at those that need it

first of all, the man if he ever existed( thoiugh i think he did, just not how the bible portrays) never beared the name 'Jesus'

jesus is a fake name attached due to errors in transliteration

There is no JESUS CHRIST.

There's mounting evidence that this story is a complete frabrication of Romans now known as Italians. Also their Astromony and Cosmosology is fake.

If you'll attack me... come at me with facts undecided

Lol....I don't intend attacking you....but just so you know the bible is the most corroborated book supported by many other documents till date. Jesus was an historical figure that existed......if you truly want to learn, read about the documents and facts that verify the existence of characters in the bible...u do not judge by reading one side of an argument.....read about the veracity of the bible then prove the supporting facts are wrong. Wish you Luck.

False Dichotomy Fallacy

hint: I don't accept evolution either

but you, you gave your ancestors the middle finger by saying a Jewish Tribal Deity created you

you dumped Olodumare, Obatala, Oduduwa for a Jewish god

your new god resides in Israel, likes mount Horeb and you fervently wait and hope for a new Jerusalem

can't you see the idiocy of it all?

I hope Africa extricates itself from the grips of this inferiority complex and I can only play my part which I'm doing

yeah, you're right bro

that explains why the Jews don't regard Jesus as the Messiah, they read the bible properly and witnessed it unlike you that had tales told retold, revised, summarised, retold many times over and handed over to you

but you must be more correct than those that saw Jesus die, Amirite?

Have you heard of Josephus, if so, so josephus the historian connived with the romans to create such myth.......if you as a fisherman 7000 years ago were told that one day, man would fly, would you believe? Humility to "hear" (read) supporting evidences for the scripture and prove them wrong is one problem I have with atheists. RESEARCH AND PROVE THAT THE SUPPORTING EVIDENCES FOR THE SCRIPTURE ARE A HOAX, THEN WE WILL GO FROM THERE.

Lovely writeup my brother.

Don't just mind those biblical terms that they are using on you like lost soul, demon, and bla bla....

I recently saw a message on my phone where a Nigerian christian was introducing me to the Jewish dude's birthday.

thanks brother

Gradually I am becoming inclined to consider that an atheist (in nigeria) only reinforces his belief in atheism without considering/researching the solidity, historically and evidentially of their faith (christian). They seem to want to be free from the shackles of religion but the other ideology that got to them first was atheism.

I'm not a paganist, I'm an atheist

I dumped all gods unlike you that dumped your forefather's gods for a foreign one

you're have an African body but a foreign mind, the Bible was not written to you, for you or by you; if it were, Romans 1:5 would be Igbo 1:5, 1 Corinthians 3:5 would be 1 Yoruba 3:5


your god is god of Israel, he has nothing to do with Nigeria

Clean discourse....my bro, good u know this, my question is did the bible document about 2000 years ago the fact that they did not accept him? Yes. U know that. Then I am sure you know that the jews actually regard jesus till this day as a prophet meaning the miracles recorded are true.....what they currently reject is the fact that he is God's son. I hope u are also aware of this?
