no one is afraid

finalboss:
when you inform dogmatic religious people that they too are atheists, just towards another god like Zeus, Horus or Osiris , they outright deny it & assert that their god is the one true deity all-the-while avoiding having to provide evidence. They absolutely hate others questioning & scrutinizing their beliefs. Literally, every Christian (or Muslim for that matter) on nairaland has ignored & darted away from logical points & refutations to their ideologies..then they proceed with insulting the person for making too much sense. This is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance.
It is a piece of cake to debunk Christian & Muslim claims, but when you’ve been indoctrinated since childhood to believe in anti-scientific & immoral gibberish then you will spend the rest of your life fighting off anything that’s contrary to your religious doctrine.

GoodMuyis:


No one is afraid or avoiding to answer in criticism. We old timer have answered all question atheist want to ask on nairaland. So going back to debate same topic all over again is a waste of time. Search nairaland before creating any uninteresting topic.

Mind you, not every Christian have enough data to answer your questions because they are not apologetic, but here on nairaland your question will be destroyed.

FruitCakes:
Hmm okay

finalboss:
a lot of Christians are woefully unequipped for dealing with criticism about their faith, which could lead to being intimidated. little swerve

finalboss:
are my intimidating you ??

FruitCakes:

lol no.I'm not in a good enough mood to argue ni

daveP:
Lol.Sometimes i do wonder...why is it that 5/5 of atheist that sat down with the Holy Bible, trying to disprove all therein, always end up getting converted?

And other atheist end up jumping this real life fact with more baseless talk. lol

Most of yall ranting cant even sit down and try disprove the scientific way, talk less of the basic way.

little one, shall we ?

No body is afaid of atheist first of all you ask your self who is an atheist is a person who does not believe in the existence of the Almighty God.
Every body is trying to apply wisdom on them for eg I preach to an atheist about my religion he will look down on and can threaten you so you need defend your self because the bible tells u DAT give Caesar what belongs to him and God what belongs to him.
So my conclusion is since a Christian and atheist does not share the same religion any thing in common there is need for the christian to give him chance that's not being afraid buy applying wisdom. For eg when u see a native u don't approach him you walk pass him.

It comes down to the fact that the only real reason people believe in gods, is because a lot of other people believe in gods. It’s social proof - the ‘evidence’ of god is that a lot of people believe in god…or appear to believe in god.

In fact, a lot (probably all) Christians have moments of doubt. This is why communal worship is so crucial to all religions - surrounding yourself with hundreds of other people who all appear to have strong faith, strengthens your own faith in the face of those personal doubts.

Religious belief is reflected in the story of The story of The Emperor’s New Clothes . Everyone believed the emperor was wearing an amazing costume (when he was actually naked) because everyone else acted as if they believed he was wearing an amazing costume (they were all cheering and commenting on how amazing the costume was), even though each one individually had strong doubts that he was wearing anything. But nobody wanted to speak up because they feared ridicule. It was social proof in action - everyone believed because everyone else believed.
The atheist is like the little boy in the story, who pointed out that the emperor was actually naked. The little boy burst the bubble. Social proof was instantly destroyed.

Christians fear atheists because we are poking at their secret, silent doubts about god, and if we keep on doing it, these bubbles of faith will start to burst. Since Christianity is only maintained through social proof, once a critical mass of burst bubbles is reached, the entire ridiculous facade of Christianity, and eventually of all religions, will quickly come tumbling down.

This is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance. It is a piece of cake to debunk Christian & Muslim claims, but when you’ve been indoctrinated since childhood to believe in anti-scientific & immoral gibberish then you will spend the rest of your life fighting off anything that’s contrary to your religious doctrine.

Ihedinobi3:

Regarding your question, the only thread of yours that amounted to a real examination of the Christian Faith is the one where I made this answer: https://www.nairaland.com/5047092/good-questions-get-christians-thinking#76149992.

You made no response to that answer. So, it would seem that you couldn't find fault with it. I can't see how that translated to being afraid of atheists.

I always try to answer the questions that all manner of people ask about the Christian Faith whether from good or from bad intentions. Some other believers might as well. It is not something that every Christian should do because each of us is a soldier with very specific and unique spiritual talents, training and equipment which predispose us to unique kinds of tasks. I do what I do not only because I can but because I should.

That other believers don't bother to answer some of the challenges made by your kind is usually because they are not gifted to do so, but they also don't because many of them don't know the Bible and unfortunately do not care to learn about it since they are more concerned with surviving in this world and with having fun and making friends. It is unfortunate but it does not at all mean that atheism is anything more than a pack of obvious lies.

You are free to believe whatever you want. You are free to believe that we are all standing on our heads and that sunlight is green. You are free to believe that God does not exist and there will be no judgment for your sins. You can make up any fiction you like and believe it. That is what free will makes you able to do. But free will does not protect you from the consequences of your choice. If you believe lies about God - including that He doesn't exist - the Lake of Fire is where you will end up for eternity. If you believe the Truth that He teaches in Christ, then glory, honor and immortality will be yours when the Lord Jesus returns.

Ihedinobi I actually checked out the thread in question. I'm currently working on a rebuttal to your post. Mention me in 3 days if you don't get a mention from me. To be fair to final.boss, the questions in the OP were much, hence your lenghty response; and its not quite easy replying a post of such magnitude and going on a constant back and forth arguing on an internet forum when you have real life issues to attend to. Sometimes when I argue with someone here, I just back off. Not because I find no fault with it, but because I just dont have the time to commit to responding to the person at that moment. That being said, I read your response and didn't find it completely satisfying. So i'm working on a response to let you know my problems with your post.
