No 2!is justifiable cos you end up enriching one man to fuel his fleet of cars while I trek, maintain his mansions while I rent a bedroom, build universiites which I can't pay for, to buy private jet which I may never have the chance come near by. I will never be fooled to be robbed by "god of men" not "men of god". Tithing is an old arrangement no longer relevant to true christian but voluntary giving. It was retained by the religious robbers

Braden7:
If Blacks Weren't Colonized & Enslaved Would Africans Be Christians And Muslim?

Your great grand children will think very differently from the way you do today,just as you think differently from your great grand parents. Your christian or Islamic religious outlook is as a result of events which played out just over 100 years ago :COLONIZATION.
Think about it with an open mind for a moment. Your great grand father who likely lived within the last 120 years was not a christian or Muslim like you are today . In fact,neither Jesus Christ nor Moses nor David ever came to mind at all . How come ? Well,you were colonized by a group of men who forced their religion on you. Remember ,every society has their religion. Japanese has,Chinese have theirs ,Indians have theirs ,,Arabs have theirs. they all maintain their religions and names today because they wee never colonized and enslaved .

The southern part of west Africa are Christians simply because they were colonized . The northern part of west Africa are Muslims because they were colonized by the Arabs. If the southern part had also been colonized by Arabs ,they too would be Muslims . If the northern part had not resisted Christianity due to already having Islam, they would be Christians.
The Asians and Indians weren't severely colonized nor enslaved that's why they maintain their religion. If Japan had colonized and enslaved Africa, all Africans today would be Buddhist , and Christianity would seem like a strange idea. Africans and blacks are the only ones who bear European names and also adhere to their slave religion which was forced upon them. They defend it and fight for it.

What makes you a christian?What makes you think Christianity is the all in all ? Is it because that's what you've been indoctrinated to believe from childhood? if you were born into a Muslim family and society ,you would be Muslim. If you were born into a Buddhist family,the names "Moses" or 'Lazarus" would not come to mind .

I think the reason atheism is on the rise in Nigeria is because people are beginning to think for themselves and holding the religious books and claims to more scrutiny than accepting it at face value as their parents told them to. Just as our views on slavery and bigotry we learned are not humanistic views. I don't use christian/Muslim views as many christian/Islam faiths still preach hate for certain people and use their religious books as justification for this. and I think more people see this and say to themselves this is so wrong how can the bible/Koran be the word of god so then they doubt the bibles origin and teachings and eventually make the transition to atheism.

Hell seems better

I don't wanna be in the company of a god that saw slavery as right and rewards rapists by giving them their victims in marriage to enjoy forever in bed


You seem pretty smart. Maybe you can answer a few questions for me. The Bible says that there is ONLY ONE way to get into Heaven: by accepting salvation through Jesus.

So it follows that the christians who ran the Nazi death camps can get into heaven. But their 6 million Jewish victims must burn for all eternity in the pits of Hell. I've talked to many christians about this and they just pretty much accept it.

My questions are:

1. How f***ed up do you have to be to believe Nazis can go to Heaven but their 6 million Jewish victims must burn? That's just sick. But christians believe it. What the f*** is wrong with you people?

2. Why would ANYONE willingly worship a god that would act like that? Is it just a fear thing (better known as cowardice)? And

3. Even if you get into Heaven what makes you think you'll be safe with a psycho god like that running the place? What's to stop your god getting a wild hair up his ass one day and sending christians to a place so bad it makes Hell look like an ice cream parlor? He used to like the Jews/Judaism too. Or so the story claims. What makes you think you're safe?

My dear bro, ur intelligence is not up to 0.00000000001% of God's whatever God does is perfect and sometimes beyond human comprehension and a man can and will never be able to prove the ways of God wrong.

It is d demon dt has possessed you dt is acting the anti christ tendencies u r showing. You seriously need deliverance bro, this is not you. You are nw being possessed by several demons may be up to a 1000 n u will need a strong man of God to free u.

Except u get help soon u r a lost soul, but hey don't worry I will continue to remember u in prayers u may jst be another Saul waiting to become Paul.

Cheers and never u argue with God he is Omnipotent, omniscient, d Alfa and omega, d beginning and the end.

as shown in the Bible? that's easy

read the creation story attributed to Yahweh in Genesis 1

read the contradictory creation story attributed to the same Yahweh in Genesis 2

I'll make it easy for you by giving you a link

http://www.leighb.com/genesis.htm

the holy bible is an insult to intellect


secondly, Yahweh came down to earth as himself to say the below words


And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen. “And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst. (Matthew 18:19-20)

Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25)

And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14)

With all these passages claiming that if you have even the smallest amount of faith (Matthew 17:20 For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.) then whatever you ask for in prayer will be granted,

a simple look at the real world shows those verses don't work

so there are obviously only a few options available for you to chose from, feel free to chose

1) the Bible is wrong, Jesus never said these things

2) the Bible is right, Jesus said these things but Jesus was wrong

3) the Bible is right, Jesus said these things but Jesus lied

4) no one who prayed for anything that actually required god's intervention had any faith

5) the Bible is just a collection of myths & fables & Yahweh, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Satan doesn't exist


These are just 2 (two) out of the many examples I have




Yahweh is fictional


a Jew can't die for the sins of a Nigerian

Going to church on sundays is a good thing. But i for one does not see anything wrong with not going if u dont want to. Sundays are not the only day one 'fellowships with the brethen'. I go to the house of the Lord any time and any day i feel like. The bible doesnt make it mandatory to go to church on sundays.
as a matter of fact if we're going to follow Christianity last last we won't be going to church on sunday which is the first day of the week but Saturday which is the 7th day sabbath...keep the sabath day holy which is Saturday so we've been doing things the wrong way!!

it not finishing but the truth, Nigerians are too sentimental when it comes to religion and that makes them too rigid to look inward and make necessary changes,they tend to see you as an agent of the devil being used as a weapon against the church , the truth is most pastors have failed in their responsibilities, from 12 PM you will see people coming different directions yet evil seem to be on the increase in the country, it just means the church is not actually renewing the minds of people
