all the people claiming atheism here have in one might have been in the western world for sometime. I know how it felt questioning if God actually existed..so you are claiming we were colonised by the whites and they brought their religion right ? good now the atheism of a thing you're claiming who brought about it is it not by the same western world ehn..humans will create different thing to justify their act..but me I'm a Christian and if I wanna remain a Christian I will. i am also very open minded so I'm not gonna tell any body their wrong or right you're living your life not mine I choose my faith you choose yours stop trying to defend your religion rather Carry your own cross and fight your battle don't fight God's battle for him (if you're Christian) also the truth is the only thing that can set you free and as some people have said we can no longer find them in men of God and so called pastors the only place to find that is in the Bible and if you are a frequent user of the bible all these things happening here will not bother you because you've probably seen issues about it in there..even me I no holy pass

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 .

Now the Chinese are coming into africa. When they take over, soonest Africans will start worshipping their Gods too. *hopefully we would have sense before then*

many are called but few are chosen God has made it clear its a race and not every one will win God is not man and does not think like you just because you feel something is morally right to you doesn't mean it is to God he's supreme if you don't believe fine I have atheist friends and I have never seen any of them forcing their believes on anyone keep your atheism for yourself (being Nigerian and being atheism or religious doesn't match they always do it to the extreme as if it's a do or die affair)

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 too. Or so the story claims. What makes you : think you're safe?


I'll await your reply

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
