@okija juju, thanks for the sarcasm, I got the point unlike alot of nairaland readers. I have noticed Nigerians just don`t seem to get it when a poster is being sarcastic. I am not surprised alot thought u were in support of these Pastors of furtune, accumulating wealth at the expense of their congregation. Poverty pimps pretending to be men of god. When we go open eye.

I am just so sad that people like Tudor can be so blasphemous as to saying something like"You can tell God to kiss my arse. . . ." It's okay if you are an atheist but please watch what u say about God. There is God. A God that created this world from his word. The things you see around you were created from the things that are unseen. How can you account for your present existence ? Were you brought into existence as a result of "Evolution" or maybe a chemical reaction? The awesomeness of God can never be overemphasized. Taking a look at the Physiological and Anatomical features of the human being alone is going to astound you. How you are able to smell, control your movement, how you are able to think and recall the contents of your memory, how de-oxygenated blood does not mix with oxygenated blood. How hormones work to carry out Homeostasis, how the leukocytes carry out an orchestrated attack against antibodies in your blood stream, have you thought about the network of the veins, how life is being given to every cell in your body ? How every nerve connects to your brain ? Have you thought about life ? Why a man can never be brought back to life when he dies? Have you thought about the irreversibility of death ?  There is indeed Eternity. I experienced something sometime ago that changed my perception about life. I went through an "Out of Body Experience" You sound like U are so learned, so "well read", but have you heard of things like "Life Review", NDEs (Near Death Experiences), OOBEs( Out Of Body Experiences). I could give an account of my "Out Of Body Experience" Did you know there was once an Atheist like you ? A worse one who became changed entirely after going through a Near Death Experience ? His name is Howard Storm. You can google him. He was a well known atheist who ultimately became a pastor after going through an NDE. There is indeed Judgement after life. Every single person that dies, gets to have a "Life Review". I am not saying that these pastors are doing the right thing. The bible even talked about false prophets. Leave Judgment to God. Be careful what you say about God. May God Put a smile on your face

Well Spoken

Well Spoken

Thanks Ocee. I wish some people could just think before they speak. They speak without thinking about their words, their "standpoints" They just say things stupidly and pointlessly. The best prayer you can ever pray to God is to give you a sound mind, a mind that "truly" thinks, understands, assimilates and acknowledges God.

Mr your post makes no sense to me.

That we have hormones, nerves and bla bla means Yaweh created the world? Why cant it be Allah, Zeus, RA or Chaos?

There are pastors who become Muslims or atheists so nothing new have you said.

And as for NDE's we are yet to see how NDE's prove god or eternity exists.

You know something Miss or is it Mrs? Simply put, you are just a fool trying to get attention on here. You are just trying to exude some sorta "Super Intelligence"  Well, for your information you are nothing close to what intelligence stands for. Your words depict how "twisted" your mind is. Well, I would not consider myself to be so intelligent but I am not a fool either. I'd rather not lash out words with you on NL. The bible even said that to some extent folly is contagious and association with a fool tends to diminish our ability to discern truth from error and wisdom from folly. It is written in the book of Proverbs 14:7, Leave the presence of a fool, Or you will not discern words of knowledge. It is also written that A fool is bound for his own destruction, and he will inevitably destroy everything in his path. Those who get in the way of the fool will get hurt. Continue with your folly, and someday soon, you will see the end of those who have chosen the path of destruction.

LOL, this is soooo funny. Typical of dumb christians.

When you present them with facts and challenge their position intelligently, they they call you names and run claiming the bible tells them not to associate.

Lol. When you made your first post blabbing about nervous system and NDE, you didnt know I was a ''fool''. ''Twisted'' and the ''bible commands that you flee'', you were flowing thinking you have arrived. Lol

all of a sudden I ask you simple questions, you begin sweating under the collar and call ''fool'' 8 times in one post then run like a rabbit.

Bye bye, call me when you acquire some intelligence.

I am gonna prove to you that God exists. Have you heard of the term Bio genesis ? It talks about the origin of Life.Atheists used to believe that life came into being as a result of Spontaneous chemical reactions. Did you know a scientist performed an experiment in 1953 that greatly challenged Atheists. He showed that passing a spark through a chosen mixture of gasses will form amino acids, the building blocks of proteins which are the main ingredients of living cells. Given an inch, a mile was taken.As a research Microbiologist in the making, I was taught, I carried out this experiment myself, that lightning strikes provided the sparks that formed the amino acids which concentrated in an “organic soup,” and linked together to form proteins. These were claimed to have gotten together with DNA to form the first living cell. Well, if you are a scientist like me, you could counter argue my standpoint. You could tell me amino acids will not link together to form proteins. Evidence that life never arise from non-living materials is so abundant that it is a basic principle of science called the Principle of Biogenesis. Confused individuals, atheists like you, came up with the term refereed to as Abiogenesis. Meaning not Biogenesis. Against Biogenesis.It has not even been included in the list of "coined terms" . Is abiogenesis possible? Not only are proteins never formed in nature outside of living cells, the amino acids from which they are built are of two kinds: Half are called left-handed and half right-handed. Only proteins containing all left handed amino acids will work in all living entities because proteins which contain any right-handed amino acids have the wrong shape and will not connect properly to the proteins around them. It is a bit like when you take a piece out of a puzzle, turn it upside down and try to put it back in where you took it out. It is the same size and shape, but it won’t fit. In nature, all left handed amino acids are only formed by living cells. Amino acids formed in experiments like Miller’s, are half left, and half right-handed so they will not work in the proteins of living things. This is more scientific evidence that life could not form without a Creator. Add it to the fact that in nature, no proteins at all will form outside of cells.  So Tudor, how can you explain the existence of amino acids, the basic entity that gives rise to life ?

When you are done defining it, then speak further let's see how much of a fool you are. You might wanna google all of those crappy names you mentioned. When you are done googling that, you might also wanna google Jesus Christ, or maybe Yahweh, and see if there is any word like Mythology anywhere on those articles.

this is all cool though wherever you copied it from.

Erm, firstly, An atheist isnt one who believes ''life came into being as a result of Spontaneous chemical reactions.'' as you falsely claim, rather an Atheist is one who DISBELIVES IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD OR GODS. Therez a difference

That said, reading your post makes me believe you dont know jack about what you're talking about. You have NO idea what millers experiment was all about, if you did, why would you claim, ''Millers experiment greatly challenged atheists''. And I doubt if you really carried out the experiment like you claim

And oh, abiogenesis is a valid study in science and has to do with finding out how life could have risen from inanimate matter.

Millers experiment though having its shortcomings, proved that amino acids (the building blocks of life)CAN indeed be gotten from inanimate matter.

Over the years, several scientists have tried to fabricate the building blocks of life using abiotic methods and some have been successful with certain nucleic acid components.

You see, one thing about science is the continious quest for knowledge and clearer understanding. Religion on the other hand arbitrarily declares that God did it .

The conditions in Millers experiment have been shown to be flawed and might infact not representative of the exact situation in the early earth. Even till today, scientists are still trying to find out the exact conditions at the point of origin of life. This might explain why millers results produced a racemic mixture of D and L isomer proteins. But the ground breaking result here IS THAT FORMATION OF AMINO ACIDS THROUGH ABIOGENESIS WAS POSSIBLE. It isnt farfetched to think that if the exact conditions are replicated we would have an accurate result.

Besides that, you started with the ''I am gonna prove to you that God exists.'' statement, I didnt see where you '''proved'' God exists. Maybe you forgot and it'll come in your next post. Pls when you do, make sure you prove YAHWEH the jewish God of the bible exists. Thanks

My goodness!!! Lol,  This kid is a keeper!! Lol. . .

I've never laughed this hard on NL before!!

Zeus only existed in Greek Mythology?? Can you Tell me where Yahweh existed??

Errr, here is the dictionary definition of myth;

myth
▶ noun
1. a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events: ancient Celtic myths | [mass noun] the heroes of Greek myth.
2. a widely held but false belief or idea: the belief that evening primrose oil helps to cure eczema is a myth, according to dermatologists.

▪ a fictitious or imaginary person or thing.
▪ an exaggerated or idealized conception of a person or thing: the book is a scholarly study of the Churchill myth.
— ORIGIN
mid 19th cent.: from modern Latin mythus, via late Latin from Greek muthos.

Small questions for you kid;

1. Can you give us your own definition of ''Myth''

2. Why do you consider Zeus to be a mythical character,

3.  Can you compare and contrast zeus and Yahweh telling us HOW zeus qualifies as myth and yahweh does not.

I'll leave these three for now, more will be asked when you tackle these two.

You must be the dumbest @$shole for thinking a jambite has been communicating with you all along. Look at the descrepancies. You have very poor analytical skills. Well, for your information, I made that post for my younger brother. If you look at my "posts archive" you will get to find out that I have been a member of NL for a while but did not make a post until today. Technically, what does that imply ? I was online talking to my younger brother and he told me about his predicament. I told him that I'd make my findings. I agree I posted that, but obviously, that couldn't have been about me.

1.A traditional story which embodies a belief regarding some fact or phenomenon of experience, and in which often the forces of nature and of the soul are personified; a sacred narrative regarding a god, a hero, the origin of the world or of a people, etc. 2. (uncountable) such stories as a genre
Myth was the product of man's emotion and imagination, acted upon by his surroundings. (E. Clodd, Myths & Dreams (1885), 7, cited after OED)
3. A commonly-held but false belief, a common misconception; a fictitious or imaginary person or thing; a popular conception about a real person or event which exaggerates or idealizes reality.
4.A person or thing held in excessive or quasi-religious awe or admiration based on popular legend  

Now, from all of the definitions above, take note of the words: Story, belief, experience, imagination, emotion, false belief.
From all of those definitions, I stand to quote that any mythical is legend, a make-believe, false. You defined myth right. So from your definitons what do you consider anything mythical to be ?
Lets now define who an atheist is. You were right when u said atheists don't believe in the existence of God. Now, for you to have a particular belief, there should be some reason, set of reasons why you have such belief. Now, what do you believe in ? You believe God does not exist. Right ? Why do you believe God does not exist ? Now, Atheism is based on skepticism. You might wanna google that.What is skepticism ? You might wanna define that.

I am gonna be back to continue on this. I have got research to do. PEACE

what is this

Here are my questions again;

1. Can you give us your own definition of ''Myth''

2. Why do you consider Zeus to be a mythical character,

3. Can you compare and contrast zeus and Yahweh telling us HOW zeus qualifies as myth and yahweh does not.

You copied and pasted the definition good, that takes care of the first one.

What about the other two??
You have refused to tell us how mthical applies to Zeus and not yahweh.


And what is your rant about skepticism
you defined atheist ''as one who believed life originated from spontaneous chemical reaction'' I called you out on that and told you the standard definition of an atheist which is one who disbelived in the existence of a God. Now you're ranting about skepticism and asking me to google it, do you really know what you're talking about??

Abeg stick to issues and stop riding yourself off-tagent.

THE WORST KIND OF INTELLECTUAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL BONDAGE ARE THE ONES Through RELIGION
BE IT CHRISTIAN OR TRADITIONAL. YOU THINK THE PASTORS ARE RICH , WAIT TILL THE PASTOR'S NATIVE DOCTOR TELLS YOU HIS WORTH.

Most of the people who fall prey to this are the poor OR THE GREEDY, hoping that when they give SO MUCH OR SACRIFICE SO MUCH GOAT OR FOWL God will multiply it{scam}, how many times did Jesus ask for money from his followers? None!


Naija we are wiser than this SHINE YA EYES. These pastors/babalawos are thieves, they do not work for God, they are not of God.

Great thread. The answer to this question should determine if this thread should continue or not. Was Jesus a reality or just a myth created precisely for the purposes of the likes of the richest pastors and those who came before them. Why Jesus? You only need to count how many times this name is invoked in churches to know the answer??

all of you condeming those pastors are sick.there is no way you can serve GOD and leave in poverty,if this people are not rich are you not the one who will say they are serving God and GODis not providing for them,men of God have to be amoung the richest man in the world,what will you people say about solomon,let me tell you something christian ought to be the head in every community they find themselves and not leave in poverty so that you people can condem them and God,none of those pastors is my pastor am an ANGLICAN,so please stop those rubish and find a good job to do,isreal,a christian country is one of the great nation also usa so there is no way you can serve GOD without God blessing you
