The ones who wake up by 3 am to create vitriolic threads against something that does not exist to them know themselves.



At least he knows that he is fighting to deliver people out of the hand of the demon called allah. His wrestle is against a demon which exists and enslaves many people. We wrestle against Satan and any way he manifests himself, be it islam, or atheism, hoping, perhaps, to save some souls on the way to destruction.

My brother can you tell me how one can be raging against someone whom he says is unreal and in his rage he is telling another who knows God is real that He is not as if his mind is healthy while that of the believer is sick so the believer has no right to question his stance that says GOD DOES NOT EXIST as being also a creation of his deluded mind.

In other words He claims the Christian is delusional for believing and knowing God exists but he is not delusional for knowing and believing God does not exist.

He has become the Judge and Jury cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Surely even in an insane court room that is termed as Judicial rascality!!!! cheesy cheesy cheesy

First, we don't criticize god under the assumption that he is real!

Lol.. What if someone walks up to you and say he hates batman because batman is more like a bad guy, that opens an opportunity for a fun-driven argument, you guys can discuss about batman...

That's Exactly our stand on the criticisms of the Christian God, people actually believe he is real and good, and even try to make us believe in him.. Why the hell won't we criticize him?..

When someone walks up to you and says Harry Potter is real, can't you tell him Harry Potter is not real? Can't you discuss Harry Potter's role in the movie?


If you understood the comment you just responded to you would not still be citing Batman or Harry Potter to me. Only kids reason the way you do.

Intelligence is something you need to strive for when making presentations or raising arguments. Matured minds do not present such examples when debating serious issues.

Exactly. To them, anybody that is a Christian is deluded. But as far as you're not a Christian, and you deride GOD, you're very very rational and wise.

Perfect logic.

We need to start taking the Bible "into context".

Let's start from the scratch.

Gen 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Felixomor, 4evergod

Is this out of context?

this sounds like red herring, your logic is that Christianity must be "Ripe Mango" to us because we attack it

same logic applies to your friend that creates new monickers just to attack Islam, must be ripe mango too to him, any attempt at invalidating this example invalidates the previous paragraph

Same logic also applies to one of you that has about 200 threads attacking atheism, Atheism must be "ripe mango" to him too

an idea isn't "ripe mango" because its being attacked

You're too unintelligent to quote me.

Please just continue ranting.
Says the man who claims allah is a devil grin when you drop myopia, I think things would become better to you.. What's the difference between allah and yahweh? Exactly like in the video above , he was quick to criticize violent passages from the Quran but calls it "out of context" when it's from the Bible...

Bunch of myopic beings!

Of course bro. Staying too much in their midst tends to cloud one's reasoning and thought processes.

Ok, let's agree it means division, so is dividing people peaceful? I thought Jesus was perfect and a prince of peace? But he also said" HE CAME NOT TO BRING PEACE ".. . Felixomor, is this not another contradiction? Abi it's out of context? grin

We can differ and not be enemies.

I dont know what u r driving at.
I and my parents are divided on many issues, it doesn't reduce their love for me.

Nor does it reduce mine for them.

Shiiiiiiiit!! Here you go again, so it's no longer division, but "peaceful division"? Unfortunately, the passage disagrees with that!

God is not a MAN...i wonder how people know what it wants and hates..welll the ONLY way to communicate with God is through an oracle..That is what the bible is..an oracle for judaism..other people have theirs. you greeks have the sybil oracle and the egyptians had the metu neter....
whatever the diviner or babalawo says is the word of God and if we have noticed from our nollywood movies, they always answers in parables..it is this that the jews has developed into the stories we now have in the bible..
it will be difficult for us to understand it cos it does not tell our story..it will be. hard for me an ibo man to understand an ibibio parable...not to talk of the far away israel..
we should come back home and embrace our spirituality..there is nothing demonic about it..

My land lord in london is jewish and any time he comes for his rent we normally had some chat and he does not cease to point out how foolish we blacks are, he told me the stories there are all allegorical with spiritual messages for their. knowledge...in other words the bible is a spiritual manual not a history textbook..

Indeed ignorance is expensive but worse still, insanity is real when you fight someone whom to you does not exist and then you turn to the Christians and say God is our imaginary friend.

cheesy cheesy

I guess they are also fighting an imaginary God! grin grin grin


And that is even worse than belief in deities, imagine one fighting and sweating without an opponent isn't that insane?
