very nice analogy you've got there, but how come the first kid knows so much and the second kid doesn't even have a clue about anything going on?

and in your analogy, the two kids are clearly dependent on the "mother", but here on earth, are we dependent on god? aren't we working for our daily bread ourselves?

also, in your analogy, the kids are visibly and physically connected to the "mother", can you tell me how we are "physically connected" to "god".

then, if you can do the one above, which of the gods is it?

CodeTemplar:
You asked if we are dependent on God, but I asked if we are dependent on rainfall for continuous planting-harvest cycles? If the answer to the latter is yes, then we are dependent on God.

since when has science been able to show the mechanism behind rainfall? or what is your proof that rainfall is from a God? even in the harmattan and the dry season, scientific process can make it rain. can you pray to your God to make it rain during dry season?
scientific processes has been used to save many lives and prevented many illnesses, how many can be attributed to your so called GOD?

In a mother’s womb were two babies.

One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”

The other replied: “Why of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will ask later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I do not know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we cannot now understand.”

The first replied, “that is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we will not need this physical cord anymore.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

The second responded, “Well, I do not know, but certainly we will meet mother and she will take care of us.”

The first said, “Mother? You actually believe in mother? That’s laughable. If mother exists, then where is she now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of her. It is of her that we live. Without her this world would not and could not exist.”

The first said, “Well I do not see her, so it is only logical that she does not exist.”

The second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive her presence, and you can hear her loving voice calling down from above.”

shadeyinka:

So, anything of God must be magically miraculous?

1Sharon:


Yes. Isn't the bible magically miraculous?

shadeyinka:

I have not even started speaking Bible English!

Must everything of God be miraculously spectacular?

1Sharon:


Yes. Isn't there magic all over the bible?

Or it's not the word of god again?

Imagine after investing all your life's worth into a company called Goddoesn'texist United Bank of Atheism Worldwide, only to find out at the end that you had wasted your whole life's worth on lies, the whole lies, and nothing but lies, because you get to know the fact that He does? So what would you do?

I don't think I would want to even imagine being in any of y'all shoes, because now you must give account of your whole life's worth before the one against whom you invested your whole life's worth championing an agenda that He doesn't exist, Lol!

So you can start preparing your account from now oh, just in case, so that when you finally appear before Him you would not start stammering like, "em em, technically Lord I didn't actually say that you didn't exist but that you do not exist until you are proven to exist" Lol!

LordReed:
A terrible analogy. The babies are not changing from their physical forms to some nebulous "spiritual" bodies or whatever after birth so this analogy just doesn't work.

CAPSLOCKED:


IT'S NOT JUST A STUPID ANALOGY. ONLY A MAD ADULT HUMAN WILL MAKE UP SOMETHING SO UNREASONABLE JUST TO BACK UP A DEITY THEY BELIEVE WITHOUT EVIDENCE FOR IT'S EXISTENCE.
I HARDLY REPLY SUCH TOPICS CUS I FEEL LIKE A FOOL ENGAGING IN SUCH NONSENSE.
BABIES CAN'T EVEN TALK WITH EACHOTHER IN REAL LIFE NOT TO TALK OF WHILE THEY IN THE WOMB.
THE WHOLE THING WITH THIS STEADILY RIDICULED 1945 ANALOGY IS JUST POINTLESS.

Jakandeola? Why are you trolling me ?

HardMirror:

Funny christians would read this and clap. Lol

This analogy is so off the point.
1. How did the other baby know all he knows?
2. Do unborn babies even talk.
3. If babies talk and this case is even true. Is it not easy for the babies to see the passage out of the womb? The exit is physical and evident. So easy to know there is something at the other side.
4. Which god are we even talking about?
5. If one baby knows about the mother, why wont the other baby?

Stcpid post for stcpid pipu like jesusjnr and michealbod abi wetin be her name

jesusjnr:
Ironically I agree with you in the respect of the analogy, because for me it began fairly well, but ended in confusion.

Maybe op should have waited and be patient enough to get it right at the end, because the essence of the post in my opinion was defeated at the end, since the message was lost in the body of the post.

But sour grapes hardmirror, haba na? Does it still hurt you that much?

Good idea to only remembered my moniker correctly and forget hers , because guy, you know how far now from experience, say she no go hold back as myself, but na fire for fire things oh.

So very wisemirror.

HardMirror:
lol. I like whining this dude. What a loner
