blueAgent:Red herring... It's obvious u can't contest the issues raised in my comment, hence, the diversionary tactic. But lemme just educate u a bit... The most developed countries and the highest standards of living generally have high atheist population compared with the poorest countries... |

randomperson: You mean like less than 10% of the population.That what i discovered last time i checked. Only a fool trust polls conduct by Elites. |

blueAgent: Japan has probably the highest life expectancy in the world and over 90% of the population don't worship any god |

hopefulLandlord: Why do you athiests depend on lies inorder to gain ground in an argument? Lasttime i checked Japan was over 80% religeous. Japan has full religious freedom based on Article 20 of its Constitution. Upper estimates suggest that 84–96 percent of the Japanese population subscribe to Shinto as its indigenous religion (50% to 80% of which considering degrees of syncretism with Buddhism, shinbutsu-shūgō [226]). However, these estimates are based on people affiliated with a temple, rather than the number of true believers. The number of Shinto shrines in Japan is estimated to be around 100,000. Other studies have suggested that only 30 percent of the population identify themselves as belonging to a religion.[227] According to Edwin Reischauer and Marius Jansen, some 70– 80% of the Japanese do not consider themselves believers in any religion. Nevertheless, the level of participation remains high, especially during festivals and occasions such as the first shrine visit of the New Year. Taoism and Confucianism from China have also influenced Japanese beliefs and customs.[228] Japanese streets are decorated on Tanabata, Obon and Christmas.[226] Shinto is the largest religion in Japan, practiced by nearly 80% of the population, yet only a small percentage of these identify themselves as "Shintoists" in surveys. This is due to the fact that "Shinto" has different meanings in Japan: most of the Japanese attend Shinto shrines and beseech kami without belonging to Shinto organisations, and since there are no formal rituals to become a member of folk "Shinto", "Shinto membership" is often estimated counting those who join organised Shinto sects. Shinto has 100,000 shrines and 78,890 priests in the country. Buddhism first arrived in Japan in the 6th century; it was introduced in the year 538 or 552[229] from the kingdom of Baekje in Korea. |

Lennycool: Hold on, you were the one who said 1 Receives MIRACULOUS Healing And Only That One Steps Out. THEREFORE COINCIDENCE. To which i said IF someone coincidentally gets healed of full blown AIDS. This is following your statement that evn if 1 person is healed out of 100 persons, it is a coincidence. What problem do you have with that one person's healing? what's your exact grouse? i am not understanding you oh. |

blueAgent: Mr Blueagent, learn to read and understand I said "THEY DON'T WORSHIP ANY GOD" Shintiosm and Buddhism doesn't involve worshipping any god Shintoism is cultural, not evey religion involves worship of gods, "Kami" is more "spirits" "essence" "nature" etc Taoism and Confucianism also do not involve worship of any god you can read up on Shintoism, Taosim, Buddhism and get more enlightened so you don't wrongly accuse me of lying Hopefullandlord is not Yahweh that he should lie 2 Likes |

Image123: Don't you have faith he'll heal you. Why would God need the help of medical practitioners Christianity is funny |
Re: D by randomperson: 6:56am On Jan 13, 2017 |
blueAgent:Really less than 10%, u better check again... And then compare with countries in Africa that have high Christian populations and let's see how far |
Re: D by RR2J(m): 9:25am On Jan 13, 2017 |
Lennycool: I Don't really get. Does God really need the help of medical practitioners? the answer is a Fat NO!!! so because he's supernatural and immortal if you are physically injured, he'll just say "OH!! am the most powerful, since he/she has faith i'll heal 'em".. they are things that faith alone cannot do... Those who feel it's God's will that Christians always be healed often ask, "since Jesus healed everyone that came to him while he was on earth, why would he not heal everyone who comes to him today(as long as they have faith), especially since Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever(Hebrews 13:8 ) . Now, scripture nowhere states Jesus healed everyone who was brought to him during his days. apostle John, stating at the end of his gospel noted that "many other things" were done by Jesus that were not recorded. whether those things included "non-healings", we do not know, but what we do know that was recorded, including the healings, were recorded so that "Ye might believe that Jesus is the christ, the son of God; and by believing ye might have life through his name(John 20:31). they were not recorded to convince us that physical healing is guaranteed for all. Healing came from Christ at his will, regardless of the individual's faith. He healed those who believe( mattew 8:13) and those who do not believe(John 9:1-38) |

RR2J: You're ignoring the point, Jesus promised you anything in his name, even if it seemed impossible. All this long write-ups are unnecessary. |

Re: D by RR2J(m): 12:35pm On Jan 13, 2017 |
Lennycool: what point am i ignoring ? . You know, i can not force you nor any other atheist to acquiesce to the fact that y'all arguments are baseless, despite the fact that it stands baseless...you gotta admit to the fact that you speak ill of the bible. I don't even know what you atheist try to do, you contradict the bible, try to contort the mind of those trying to get to know 'bout the bible, even when the truth is pellucid. |
Re: D by Nobody: 12:52pm On Jan 13, 2017 |
RR2J:How is my stand baseless. When Jesus himself said in Matthew 17:20 "For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." If faith can move a mountain (signifying the impossible) instantaneous healing of an injury should be nothing. You're just trying to ignore the obvious. Prayers don't work |

Re: D by Image123(m): 2:09pm On Jan 13, 2017 |
Lennycool: Your understanding is what is funny, always read the terms of an agreement carefully before signing instead of ridiculous gloating in assumption. God feeds you but you need to get into the kitchen, that's how He made it work. He's provided all the wisdom, resources and science so that we are not zombies or doltheads looking for who to wipe off mucus from our mouths in the name of love. You probably looking for the wrong god. God has no issues neither is His workings mutually exclusive to commonsense and primary healthcare. |
