Banom, "I say unto you that likewise there is great joy in heaven over one sinner (you) that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance" Luke 15:7. So my Brother, right now you are a celebrity, the heavenlies are rejoicing for the decision you have made, please DO NOT look back, because.Lk  9:62  says that "No man, having put his hands to the plow, and looking back, is not fit for the kingdom of God". We shall make eternity together in Jesus Name. Shalom.

Who cares how you choose to poison your mind? ALL religions have caused more harm than good. It is a disease of the mind, not sure if I should feel sorry for you.

@ Mr Official, I've been on Nairaland for close to two years, but a passive member, I am so impressed by the topic that is why I had to drop a comment on this forum for the first time. Thanks all the same for the induction message.

Yes o. I am on the side of "what you see, is what you get" No hidden charges or bonuses.

wirinet:

That is the point, atheists do not want to go anywhere, they just want to live out their lives and die, that is it.

So God remote control us, why do God not simply remote control his creations to achieve whatever aims he wants and save everybody all the troubles.

aletheia:

Perhaps he's remote controlling you now. And you don't even know it!

Those who, like Richard Hawkins, say that belief in God amounts to a delusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_God_Delusion, should have the humility to admit that they don’t have the evidence to support their stance. In other words by using the word ‘delusion’ in connection with people who believe in God, they only reveal their own ignorance of the meaning of the word. (http://www.answers.com/topic/delusion)

Let me give you a slight analogy.
Imagine for one moment a set of twins in their mother's womb.

One twin says : "Hey, we have a mother. She is responsible for all that we are. We exist because she allowed some guy somewhere between her legs.We are alive because she eats and drinks. She cares so much for us that she goes regularly to a guy called doctor for something called ante-natal".
"Sometimes I hear her speak to us. She calls us babies. She loves us so much that she would do anything for us.
She says we give her joy. I hear it. She keeps thinking about us every moment".

The other twin replies. "What are you talking about. You are just imagining things. There is nothing like Mother. Have you ever seen her? If you say she speaks to us, how come I never hear her? Hey fella, I am on the side of "what you see, is what you get" No hidden charges or bonuses. I wouldn't waste my time thinking about some Mother  that you've just imagined up".
"If truly we have a mother, why can't she come get us out of this blood soaked tight sac that we've been locked up in since conception".

Twin one says": If only you understood you wouldn't speak like this. She loves us so much that she is going to endure the most grueling pain of her life just to get us out of here. It won't be long, we would be out of here in her arms, free to move around and at the same time feel her love.
She would give us bosom to suck, food to eat, she would bathe us and put us to bed. So much love she would give to us.

The other twin: All this your talk looks too good to be true. However, I only believe in things I see. I don't see a mother, So I know I don't have one. I'll rather wait till that 9 months you keep talking about is over, then maybe I'll believe.


This analogy gives you a perfect picture on our relationship with God. You don't have to see to believe. The mere fact that a baby can't see or feel the presence of it's mother doesn't mean the mother doesn't exist.
For me, I know for sure that I didn't make my digestive system, neither did I do anything to ensure that my lungs process oxygen. I know for sure that it has all been regulated by my creator.

Hey Atheists, we all know atheism is a ruse and it exists solely because God exists. If believers in God are wrong, then there should be no need for such a thing as atheism.

sauer:

Hey, it's Richard Dawkins, not Hawkins, or are you perhaps carried away by hearing too much of Stephen Hawking??

And also, Just so you know, Albert Einstein never believed in your god. Was a jew, and only talked of God in place of Nature. Substitute "God" with "Nature" in that quote, and boom! u have it!

Kay 17:

your analogy is improper, because you did not state the means thru which the first twin became aware of the existence of the mother. that was crucial to the story. and the boundary that lies between theists and atheists.
