NL Christians, I Dare You To Do This. by Nobody: 3:27pm On Apr 27, 2017
So you guys believe God exists and that he hears your prayers, and every good thing that happens to you is within his control. So I am challenging you guys to a one month exercise. The exercise is simple. Just for one month, live your life like God doesn't exist. Don't pray. Don't sing praises. Just cleanse your minds of any belief that God exists. If you do this, what you'll realize is that your life would still conduct itself the same way. Sometimes you'll have it good, sometimes you'd have it bad. Why? Because that's the true picture of reality. Good and bad happens to us in the world. You wouldn't need to ascribe the good to God and you wouldn't need to make excuses for God for the bad.

Take Sweden as an example. More than half of the Swedish population do not believe in the existence of your Christian God or the God of any religion, many of this percentage don't even believe in the existence of a God. Yet these people live happy lives.They get jobs. They get married. They have children. They live long life's. These are the kind of things Christianity promises Christians. But it's patently obvious that no religion has proprietary rights to these "blessings." If one needs to believe God to have these kind of "blessings," who then is providing the needs of these Swedes who sin against God everyday by not acknowledging his existence?
I am not saying that the people in countries like Sweden don't experience the occassional bad stuff in their lives, they do, just like everyone else in the world does, including Christians, but unlike you Christians, they aren't making excuses for their God using statements like: "God knows best" "No one can question God." "Everything works together for our good." "God's time is the best." They simply recognize that it's all part of our experience on earth and they move on.

I don't see why anyone needs to believe in something that clearly doesn't intervene in their lives.

Good, you follow Bible principles, but what I am proposing isn't a principle, rather, it's a means of evaluating your principle to see if it's true and if it works. Wouldn't you be satisfied to know your principle is valid? But how would you know this if you don't want to test it? Are you afraid to test it? If you are afraid to test it then it means you have doubts about it being valid.

Imagine if you are very good at playing chess and someone came to challenge your chess skills. If you are certain your chess skills are as good as you claim, then you would be confident to accept the challenge.

But Christians already do this

That is why they sin then blame it on the devil

What baffles me is this why u people try to challenge or in anyway against christians... why avnt u challenge the traditional worshippers... they also believ in God... nd beliv dy r special to dir God's too... why com to face xtians

Because what you guys believe influences various areas of my life and my society in a lot of ways, and most of these influences are negative.

Also, I live in a world where more than half of the population have been brainwashed to believe things that are not true. I am doing you guys a huge favour by trying to get you to see the truth.
Imagine you saw a friend clinging tenaciously to a harmful dea that you knew with certainty wasn't't true, and this idea was modulating his thoughts and actions. Would you leave him to continue conducting his life according to this idea or would you try to dissuade and disillusion him from subscribing to this idea? If you'd do the later, then that's exactly what I am doing.

Unlike apostle Paul I have been a christian before, and for many years. And you are drawing a false parallel between me and the founder of your religion. I am not persecuting anyone. I haven't physically harmed anyone. I haven't even verbally abused anyone. All I am doing is trying to show you the flaws in your belief system and get you to engage with my argument and re-examine your beliefs. Of course I could be wrong, but how would you be certain about this if you fail to re-evaluate your beliefs?

...The delusion is strong that in absence of evidences they fear anyone that attempts to scrutinize the beliefs.

The African Christian is worst of all. For the lack of written scriptures and historical antecedents they condemn their ancestral religions, and they believe an unverifiable foreign folklore is an authentic account of history of the universe.

Our irritation and criticism stems from these fact. Hence, we do that by simply demanding proofs for the wild claims/beliefs. And always, they fail to present any justification for holding onto a Middle-Eastern religion as a universal path to a "creator".

You see, my friend, we are doing those who are willing to use their brains a favour. The world has achieved a lot by engaging in objective research. Dogmatism/religiosity has never contributed to human knowledge or development.

I wonder why its always Christianity that is attacked? Islam causes the most harm to you and every other atheist directly or indirectly, but still you attack Christians. Traditional worshipers conduct human sacrifices and all other inhumane things but still christianity is what affects you the most? I want you to calm down and think. "What has Christianity done to me that I hate is so much"? Imagine a world where 98 percent are Christians except you and other Nairaland atheist. And then imagine one with 98 percent Muslims (with sharia) except you and other nairaland atheists. Which is safer for you sir? I think you are pointing your gun at the wrong direction.
