you're giving religion too much credit BlueAngel444: laws are required for any society, once man decided to come together and live as more of a unit, they made laws, religion and gods aren't required, the Japanese for instance believe in a deistic god (aka a god that created them but didn't tell them how to live their lives) but that didn't stop them building a society, they figured it out on their own gods and religion are not needed, they're simply (at best) an enforcing mechanism for the laws man already made 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: Religion is the political tool used to rule the people, not military, not finance, religion be it biased, moral or ethical. American's root is Britain (Anglican after Roman Catholic) The Middle East had Islam, I'm those days people will only follow you because u seem to have the favor of the gods. Babylon had a religion which is prevalent now worshipping, loving and adoring Mammon, mad made structures, wealth, some their own minds and their inventions |

BlueAngel444: If there is no single similarity between the available scrolls and the one I am dishing out right now, then there should be no credibility in what I am writing because what that would simply mean is that I'm trying to say that all former scrolls are 100% fictitious which isn't true. Things in the bible, Quran, etc are corrupted version of the truth and my own purpose on earth is to come and make amendments, write the truth exactly as they were and that's what I'm doing right now, hence the resemblance you see. Concerning what I bring, being in three fold: 1. Use your brain- the brain is the organ that can bring the best out of humanity when used maximally. (Remember bible and quran left out the word 'brain' in their books, hence their books become brainless. 2. Worship no god- remember the religious books emphasize the worship of one form of god or the other, but this act will only bring limitation to what human beings are capable of doing as the brains will not be able to access some parts of itself to do maximum exploit. Take religion off anyone and he/she will perform maximally. You may not believe this. 3. Do good to humanity- this is the pivotal message of the DOCTUFOS and the purpose of God Almighty to everyone. Doing good should be a habit. Yes, doing good is an act of love, so love is a part of my message to humanity. Very many witnesses abound but the popes, religious people etc have killed them under the guise of heresy. They were brutally dealt with and their scrolls were burnt, but thanks to Atum who is revealing the contents of the hidden scrolls to me. Even Nicolas whose doctrine was called Nicolatian doctrine is one of the scribes who wrote down the truth some years back but none of his scrolls survived because they burnt it. But now I have come to reveal them. 2 Likes |

OtemAtum: Lemme start with number one. The bible isn't against using one's brain. The term brain also refers to the mind and soul, then there is a conscious part and subconscious part. God told Moses of a man he had gifted in all forms of craft to design the ark, vessels for the tabernacle, it's articles of gold and silver. God wrote and taught the first Hebrew language and established their law and legalistic system. Joseph was the savour of the world from a famine by a means he had learnt through the experience God put him through. The first ship/floating house was designed by Noah by wisdom given to him by God. Not enough time to speak about Solomon, Daniel, or other Jewish people renowned in the world of science and invention. Have you since ancient mathematics and designs, you will realise we are actually backward in someway. The Hebrew God seems to love speaking in maths/numbers. the only God that sets the boundary for infinity So this point is false 1 Like |

OtemAtum: No.2 first off, those are demons portraying themselves has gods to be worshipped. They distort God's truth and light and deceive men to worship them Secondly we are too small for the Almighty God to lie to. Thirdly, you speak of limitations, men have depraved minds, thinking and conceiving evil, bring tricked by demons who enticed them via their lusts. It was God who lead the wise men to Jerusalem through and star, he mapped out the stars from the beginning has what, to be signs of times and seasons. Meaning the Almighty God kept in the course of the stars the time of life, revealing it with dew course. You speak of limiting man's mind, there was light yet God made the stars, which aids our travels. The almighty God gave Solomon wisdom, made Daniel wiser than all the wise men in babylon, made Joseph so wise that history has records of his achievements. A depraved and sinful and godless mind is limited. Do you know the books. And teachings wisdom God passed through Solomon tomorrow he world in almost every field.

OtemAtum: Listen to me, anything that isn't the complete truth is a lie, no matter the percentage of distortion. Now this Nicolas what was his doctrine about. If you knew how powerful and deceptive the devil is, you will know he will cook up any lie that makes people not believe in God who is Holy and is Love and in control of everything for he made all things for his will and purpose. God doesn't have power He is power in himself, we can't grasp the magnitude of who he is. God is not a man that He should lie or repent. Worship him or not is not by force, He can raise up stones to serve him. Does he need angels for he made the whole of existence by His word. If your referring to the devil, his demons or even angels specify. Do you know how realms and dimensions exist, Your doctrines are limited to space and time.

BlueAngel444:This is part of the bible lies I am talking about. What if I tell you that bible Moses is the reincarnation of Yahweh? Know also that Yahweh isn't God but one of the children of God who are the gods. You won't believe it but that's the reality. So if I am to interprete that passage of the bible to you, I will say that Moses(not God) told the people about someone who is skilled in art to design the 'coffin' aka what you call ark of covenant. Moses(the reincarnation of yahweh) used his brain in his own day and made the rest of the people to worship him without using their own brains. This is what we see in churches today where the sheeple call their pastors daddy and worship them. Blueangel44: wrote and taught the first Hebrew language and established their law and legalistic system.It isnt historically proven that the hebrew language was taught by Yahweh, but it is a fact that Moses( aka Yahweh reincarnate) made laws to rule his people. .:The Joseph story as written by Moses(Yahweh reincarnate) is a mere fiction. So he saved Nigerians, Ghanians, etc from famine? Lol. How come this great guy didn't appear in the history of the land of Egypt? And how will you explain how he saved the whole countries of the world? As in did Africans and the entire world trek to Egypt to get food and the food even was sufficient for them all such that they all forgot to include this wonderful deliverance in their oral histories? Lol. .:Noah didn't design the first ship but Deganis did. And Deganis was not even a creature of Yahweh. He actually taught Yahweh how to construct a ship. See the doctufos of truth for references. Solmani did not worship Yahweh in his days and Solomon as written in the bible is a fictitious version of Solmani a real being. Danyal was a hittite and not an israelite and he did not worship any god in his own days. Daniel in the bible is a fictitious version of Danyal the real being. The scientists be it Jews, Americans, Germans, Arabs did not become renown in science because of worshipping any particular god but because of how deep they had used their brains to think deep. You too can become a great scientist if you use your brain very well as that is the purpose of creation. It doesn't matter whether you are an atheist or not you can excel. Note, Japan, China are renowned in technology, yet they have many atheists and non religious people among them so many. Even Israel of Yahweh isn't among the G8 countries, so where is their god? ':Africa is backward because of lack of critical thinking. They refuse to build upon their philosophies but they went after the fullstops of religion. But watch us, we shall rise now that we are dropping religion to focus more on our brains and mentality. .:I can even speak in Maths than the hebrew god. Show me the maths the hebrew god spoke in and in few minutes I will get connected and speak in a better maths. Should we give it a try? |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Atheists Afraid Of The Humanist Label? by OtemAtum: 9:59pm On Aug 15, 2017 |
BlueAngel444:pls point out the holes you see in the Doctufos of truth and I shall explain them to you well. And all the things you write above about God Almighty, the creator of Yahweh, I have not argued them, so why bringing them up at all? The Nicolatian Doctrine first came up in the periods of the Neanderthals millions of years back and it wasn't accepted by the ignorant people of those days. Then around 2030-2017 years ago, it reigned supreme again when Niklas was reincarnated as an homo sapien. I will post some of the contents of the Nicolatian doctrine for you to see. |

OtemAtum host=59511353: First of Yahweh means the Lord. Secondly both Moses and Joseph are traced back to Egypt, they had Egyptian names and titles. Moses used his own brains to build it all. OK, he was so powerful yet he couldn't lead the people of Israel into the promise. Oh he also had a brother and a sister. Yahweh is not a name. Israel never worshipped Moses, Hebrews are too proud to bow to any man, not to talk of a man. If you actually knew history, science and etymology you won't make some of this your assertions. And about churches Jesus told his disciples, do not let any more call you Master for you are called to serve and you haven't been to every church and not all that say Lord Lord serve God and not all 'churches' are part of God's church Yes Moses made laws, for through him came the law. Modern Hebrew language isn't exactly like the original, they can't find the ark or the law written on stone, so it's mostly morphed from what is written on scrolls and shares similarities to ancient amerean writings. Its a mere fiction, so i guess Israel was never in Egypt and Moses's exodus never happened. Or maybe israelites were never slaves and maybe never in Egypt. Your theories are based on creating doubts, by using false questions like the devil used for Eve and Jesus Did God really say he will die Are you the son of God By making people question this things doubt and unbelief and lies can be sown You have no idea about Israel's military strength and advancement in technological and the fact that their are a lot of mysteries hidden about this current nation Israel. You have no historical evidence, couldn't you 'god' preserve any,. Was he that weak he couldn't preserve his so called truth over time and prove them with not just mere words and synonymous name changes. Africa is not backward, and Africa was NEVER cursed. Mr man go and read history. Egyptians the first civilization are what exactly, I just remembered You say use your mind, but even man doesn't understand the depth of the mind. King Cyprus didn't know who the Lord God was, yet the Almighty God said, I have anointed hom and chosen him to fulfill my purpose. Whether you know God or not you are serving his purpose, the question is are you a honourable vessel or a dishonourable vessel waiting to be disposed of.

OtemAtum: You say you can speak more math than a god, and you don't even figure out that the population of the world wasn't so large and people settled in closer and assessable regions in those days. So hunger drove men from far and wide to Egypt to get food. Now how far could man have spread from the time of Noah to the time of Jacob, knowing that even one of his sons lived to the days of Abraham. Hope you do know Asians are still very religious The middle east very religious Yet their advancement in science and technology in obviouS Your faulty reasoning is thinking science started in ye twenty-first century.

You probably didn't even try to confirm first. I was speaking of minds and not infrastructures, if I were I would point out their nuclear programme, if you have done physics you would that is not an easy feat to pull off. You even mentioned China, thank God you didn't add India.

BlueAngel444:Restricting evil and governing actions is the job of government. If we want to reduce evil, then we need to improve our government; that's all. If people want to do evil things for selfish reasons, the only thing that will really stop them is the knowledge that they are very likely to be punished for it. Religion seems to reduce some lesser evils, but it also discourages logical thinking, which enables greater evils to continue. 4 Likes |

Seun: True, but that shouldn't debase the value and importance of religion no matter how vast and corrupted it has become. Most of our cultures, traditions and norms were religiously passed down. The first forms of government were religious in nature. Am not saying we should continue to be religious but many people hate it for its shortcomings than actual see the purpose of its existence in the first place. Religion not government is the earliest from of passing out rites, morals and code of conduct, laws and rules for men who can not be righteous and live in love, reminding people who had no relationship with God that their is a power greater than theirs that they are answerable to The deviation of religion hated so much is the very structure of our present government, so are you picking the lesser of two evils? |

There are even more western countries with larger ratio of atheist to theists. And knowing that I simply said if they still practice any format of superstition they are deceiving themselves Irreligious and atheist See also: Irreligion by country Nonreligious population by country, 2006.[58] Countries with the greatest proportion of people without religion (including agnostics and atheists) from Irreligion by country (as of 2007): Czech Republic 70-81% (78%) Estonia 71–82% (76%) Japan 64–88% (76%)[59] Denmark 72% Sweden 46–82% (64%) Vietnam 44–81% (63%) Macau 62%[60] Hong Kong 57%[61] France 43–64%[62] (54%) Norway 31–72% (52%) China 47%[63] (details) Netherlands 39–55% (47%) Finland 28–60% (44%) New Zealand 42%[64] United Kingdom 31–52% (42%)[62] (25% England and Wales)[65] South Korea 30–52% (41%) Germany 25[66]–55%[67] (40%) Hungary 32–46% (39%) Belgium 42–43% (39%) Bulgaria 34–40% (37%) Slovenia 35–38% (37%) Russia[68] 13–48% (31%) Remarks: Ranked by mean estimate which is in brackets. Irreligious includes agnostic, atheist, secular believer, and people having no formal religious adherence. It does not necessarily mean that members of this group don′t belong to any religion. Some religions have harmonized with local cultures and can be seen as a cultural background rather than a formal religion. Additionally, the practice of officially associating a family or household with a religious institute while not formally practicing the affiliated religion is common in many countries. Thus, over half of this group is theistic and/or influenced by religious principles, but nonreligious/non-practicing and not true atheists or agnostics. |

OtemAtum: I believe this the starting point where I mentioned Asia not China(though I still doubt their nonsense) Asia is the largest and most populous continent, with a wide variety of religions. The largest religion in Asia is Islam with approx. 1.1 billion adherents. Asia was the birthplace of many religions such as Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Jainism, Sikhism, Judaism, Zoroastranism. But all major religious traditions are practiced there and new forms are constantly emerging. Here's from Wikipedia ( you can easily verify this one) |
