Born2Freak:I've seen many actually. It's a cheap place to learn to be a doctor for instance, which makes it affordable and popular for some Nigerians. |

rekinomtla:What you posted there is the sort of propaganda and lies told to influence people without brains. If anyone goes about without morals, they can't exactly have meaningful human relationships now, can they? I would advice that you learn a bit more about atheism and atheists instead of just repeating what you have been told about us. |

Born2Freak: Does atheist believe in after live? How can you reconcile an atheist believe with a buddhist/shintoist believe? Does an atheist perform rituals and rites or those he believe in traditional stuff? |

Joshthefirst: Long time bro... hope you are doing good Better life is better life. some lives are better than others but there is always a room for comparison and measurement. all in all, it means some level of happiness and fulfillment. My point is that anyone can experience it be it a christian or not. Christians cannot claim monopoly of better life. believe in God does not give life any meaning, its just a mirage that people use to make themselves feel good. it just serves as motivation for depress people to move on but people also find such motivation in drug, alcohol and relationships. some have the inner strenght to motivate themselves, other need good company and love.. whatever rocks your both. but its dubious of christians to claim monopoly of better life, that self deceit and its dangerous.
No, I'd rather say you are dishonest if u as a theist claim ur life even better dimension than that of an atheist. we can continue going back and fourth but at the end of the day all we wil have are our words. but lets jump from words and look around us. there are more Christians around us that atheists... i am an atheist and i know my life is better than that of many christian even people who claim bornagain and live a 'holy' life. that alone tell me a lot.
The context of the meaning of life is what we make of is... you think urs is God(whatever that means) i think mine is achievement and happiness nd from what i make of it. at the end of the day its just what we chose to think, the result is usually the same you are asking me where the context of relationship with others came from? are u for real? ever heard of no man is an island? people need people, u dont need any God to tell you this. morality came from learning... its simple. if u slap me, i feel pain. I there for know how another will feel if they are slapped... therefore slapping another is bad. u can extend this simple example to any area of life. except mayb u need God to know that slapping another is painful. my reasons for living are basically the same as urs. you want to maximize happiness and reduce pain and sadness. can u tell me what u are living for? you think its easy calling ur so called almighty creator whose anger is flaming red a bluff? its takes a self confident and strong man to be an atheist. |

Born2Freak:Yes, i know you can support a Satanist. As water answerers to the face, so the deep calls to the deep. Tithe is not for Christisns, yet i can give instant and undeniable testimonies as a result of tithe paying. Funny how unbelievers feel they are in a better position to tell Christians how to worship their God. Concern yourself with your witch covens not with what Christians do.

budaatum: You mistake Purpose for an individualistic concept. All spoons were created for the purpose of scooping meals. I simply explained the purpose of man's creation according the the Bible which is the only answer to Man's purpose. What you do to be successful in life is different from your purpose. That's dreams and aspirations, that's Work. It differs for each individual depending on your innate talent, skills and interests. Atheists choice of non-creation is not my place to prove or disprove. That's why it's a choice. But answer me this, why will you see the clear truth and still choose a lie? That's living in denial. About the healing on the sabbath, I suppose you're referring to Jesus. You mistake Christianity for Judaism or a religion. A Christian doesn't not need a day or place to worship God. We worship God in spirit and that happens every day and every where. John.4.23 - But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. John.4.24 - God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." It doesn't conflict with our work. Going to church on Sunday or any other week day is to fellowship. It's not a law. Our Lord, is lord of sabbath. That said, there's a lot of misconception and misrepresentation of the teachings of the Bible. You'll be surprised how little you presently know about Christ and Christianity, no offence, I was humbled too. |

Anas09:Good to see you dodge the question, that's all you do nowadays |
Re: Good Reasons To Be An Atheist Now. by Joshthefirst(m): 10:17pm On May 04, 2018 |
Born2Freak:Don't refer me to threads pointing out your assertion, show it here. Belief in God is necessary as a pivot of any reality. Without belief in God, does your life have meaning? |
Re: Good Reasons To Be An Atheist Now. by Joshthefirst(m): 10:47pm On May 04, 2018 |
frank317:Interesting question. Since you're a moral relativist, I'll have to ask you what you mean by "good". frank317:Can you point out the end of happiness and fulfilment as an atheist? You do not believe in God and I take it you do not believe in life after death. So what is the point of anything worthwhile apart from maybe self gratification through drugs and alcohol as you have said. If we all eventually come to a meaningless end from a meaningless start then should you not envy the one who "deludes" herself with true meaning and purpose in God? Does the meaninglessNess of life not laugh you in the face? Or do you find some way to lie to yourself and deny it's voice? frank317:Again, where is the reference for the bolded? Death laughs in the face of any achievement, achievement without faith(hope), is useless nonsense, as death and the meaningless finite darkness of the cosmos you accept as a materialist renders all achievements broken on the walls of darkness. frank317:Again, what is the point? Apart from maybe providing finite comraderie against the purposeless meaninglessness of the universe. Or do you think the universe has meaning or purpose? If you think it does not, then how can you, who lives in it, have any? frank317:Pain is the basis of your morality? Pain is subjective. What if I could end an entire civilization painlessly in an instant, maybe because they don't add any technological value or progress to others? Would my action be morally justified? frank317:We don't have the same reason for living. First, I believe God created me and he has a plan and purpose for my life. I believes he rewards righteousness, so my achievements and whatever I experience have eternal significance and reward. Without God, Achievements areally futile, because death laughs not only in my face, but in the face of all humanity. Without God, I only exist by chance, and the end of all of my living is Nihility. I can only try to live out my days in self gratification till I die a meaningless death. Will this sort of thinking not plunge humanity into chaos? Some philosophers think that if it were indeed found out that there was no God, we'd have to invent one. frank317:Indeed. It takes a man with guts to deny reality. |

pressplay411:Yes, you "explained the purpose of man's creation according the the Bible which is the only answer to Man's purpose" . But might that be because that is the explanation you know? I am saying many many people have 'purposes' even though they have not come into contact with a bible. |

Joshthefirst:Yes! |
Re: Good Reasons To Be An Atheist Now. by budaatum: 12:54am On May 05, 2018 |
pressplay411:I mentioned nothing about how successful the doctor, the lawyer, road sweeper or scientist may or may not become, though you should assume they do what they do successfully and are rewarded accordingly and commensuratately. I am talking about the specific purpose that is accomplished by them applying their so called "innate talent, skills and interests" in doing what they do - heal the sick and save the dying, fight against oppression, clean the streets to ensure filth and disease does not kill people and research into the sperm and ovum for what ever end result, and albeit successfully. |
Re: Good Reasons To Be An Atheist Now. by pressplay411(m): 5:18am On May 05, 2018 |
budaatum: I've exhausted the explanation of Man's purpose. Your questions have already been answered. Once again it's your choice to accept it. I know my purpose, do you know yours? |
Re: Good Reasons To Be An Atheist Now. by Born2Freak(f): 5:49am On May 05, 2018 |
Joshthefirst: Your own life has no meaning. Just like every other person's life has no meaning. It is a blank slate that only the user can fill. So please, stop telling lies about your purpose. Another christian here has fumbled claiming that life's purpose is to 1. serve God and 2. be fruitful and multiply. Serving God is meaningless. Which God? The Jehovah's Witness God that hates human blood and has cultish ideas of living? The old testament God that applies to Jews? The Pentecostal Nigerian God that believes in tithing and prosperity preaching? Tell me your own purpose from God if you dare. |

pressplay411: Sombody is successful without believing in your God and u sit down in your room and know he is the most depressed person. Is this what u think to make urself feel good. Sombody is doing better than u in all aspects of life and because he does not believe in your God, u want to force ur depression on him. What kind of wickedness is this? Do u know how many christians are depressed? By the way, what causes depression? Does lack of believe in God causes depression? In all my studies of psychology in A level, there was nowhere it was thought that lack of believe in God leads to depression. Can u bring up ur facts? 1 Like |

Re: Good Reasons To Be An Atheist Now. by frank317: 7:27am On May 05, 2018 |
pressplay411: This makes no single iota of sense. Your purpose of seeking first the kingdom of God is as usless as me going to toilet in the morning. To me thats a meaningless purpose and PLEASE this so called purpose deos no stop any one from being depressed. Again i have seen a lot of people seek first this mythical kingdom but i am yet to see anyone have everythinh he desires added unto him. People who claim to seek thins kingdom hustle every morning like me, they go through depression and sadness when they lost loved ones, they answer SIR to their fellow man just to keep their jobs... they are somtimes broke because of overwhelming issues to solve... seeking first the kingdom of God is as normal as seeking first money... it changes nothing. And like i told u... there is no where it is written that the lack of belief in Gld leads to depression. I am an atheists and i know many christians i am functioning better than. I am smart and one of the best in my job. |

Born2Freak: The main question to ask him is... how is USA a christian state? A country filled with gays, nudity, drugs abuse, devil worship etc. Go to church on sunday in US and u will see only old men. More than half of amarican "christian" youth have visited jail. Many of tham are murderers and raciism is at its peak...how is USA a christians country? Except the meaning of christianity has changed |
