The Unrighteous And The Unbeliever; The Differences by plaetton: 9:49am On Jul 07, 2019
The two most militant Abrahamic religions often conflate unbelievers and unrighteous people.

Unbelivers are people who do not subscribe to or who repudiate the Abrahamic concepts of divinity.

Unrighteousness, on the other hand, covers every spectrum of human activity or behavior.
Whereas unbelief focuses on people who do not subscribe to certain myths, fables and notions of a particular religion or religious sect, unrighteousness covers everyone, including people who have very strong and rigid religious beliefs.

My Christian friends on and off Nairaland , always convince themselves and try to convince me that my rejection and continued repudiation of Judeo-Christian myths, especially the myth of the saviour God-man , constitutes unrighteousness before God, their God of course.

Well, it depends from which perspective one approaches it.
It is both laughable from a rational perspective, and true from a perverse perspective.

From a rational perspective, righteousness is the duty and responsibility of every human being. Righteousness brings peace , harmony and progress. A society that has majority of righteous people, or has the righteous people in authority or positions of influence , inevitably promote order, peace, harmony and progress,..irrespective of whatever myths or sub-myths the majority subscribe or do not subscribe to.

Nigeria is perhaps the clearest example that there exists no straight line correlation whatsoever between faith and righteousness.

From a perverse perspective, if someone , or a group of people create a fantastic myth , and then fortify it with ascending cascades of other myths, a Tower of Babel of myths, then it makes perfect sense that any attempted repudiation of that Babel Of Myths would constitute a direct offence , and act of gross unrighteousness, to the CREATOR, ..of the myths.

In other words , the act of unrighteousness is directly against the person who creates or who has fully immersed him or herself in the Babel Of Myths.

So when a religious person or Christian calls you or refers to you as unrighteous ,not on the basis of your character, but solely because you do not accept their faith or myths, you know should know that the person feels subconsciously offended. To such people, offending them equals offending God, the God that they created.

God is the greatest creation of the human primitive mind.
The sheer complexity, the many contradictions of this creation is a clear and compelling look into the complexity and seeming contradictions of the human psyche.
For, in God we find love, kindness and all the lofty ideals of certain parts of our psyche.
In God also ,we find the contradictions, the hypocrisies, the selfishness, the wickedness, the greed, the averice that constitute the less evolved and most primitive parts of the human psyche.

There are a lot of people who please God in their acts but they don't know, people who are devoted to making lives of people easy, the philanthropists, people who will never snitch on others, people who will tell lies to save another person from a horror, people who give without the world knowing, people who will try everything in their power not to let other people go through the nightmare they have gone through, people who don't abuse their power. A lot of these people usually don't have any religion they practice, they just follow what cause they believe in.

THE QUESTION NOW IS "WHICH GOD"?


IT WILL BE UNREASONABLE AND ILLOGICAL FOR ANYONE TO STAND ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXISTENCE OF A GOD BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE UNIVERSE, AND CLAIM THAT THEY KNOW THAT THIS GOD MUST BE THE ONE THEY INHERITED FROM THEIR FAMILIES AND GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS.

It's safe to say if religion is inherited then so is atheism.

If I understand your point well, what you mean is that people's belief in God is environmentally influenced, so I'm saying the non belief in him may also have been of similar factor

Well, kind of.
An environment that places a premium on scientific rationalism would undoubtedly influence the majority in that environment to examine issues rationally to arrive at answers , as opposed to another environment where superstitions , myths and magical thinking reigns supreme.
So , yes, environments influences how thinking processes, values and beliefs are shaped.

1. How do you know they please God with their lives when God's number 1 rule is "Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, body and soul, something these people you speak of obviously don't do - I assume you speak of those who don't believe at all in God here? undecided

2. These same people live according to their own convictions and rules and not according to God's own set of rules - since many believe their egos way is better than God's way - so how can that which they do be said to please God? undecided

This really isn't rocket science people!

First, do you see that you gave a bias presentation, and all biase presentations are not True?

1) You Failed to supply the rational perspective of unbelief since you have presented the rationality of righteousness.

2) You Failed Again to Supply the perverse perspective of unbelief after your attack on "a group of people".

3) You based your attack on "a group of people" On A Lie And False Hood but you went on to act as though it was a certain Truth, when in fact it was the creation and fortification of the very people like you, whom you choose to call "unbelievers"!

plaetton:

So when a religious person or Christian calls you or refers to you as unrighteous ,not on the basis of your character...

Your Character is Always the basis of unrighteousness and every Christian knows that. (Also we Noticed that you have Abandoned you so called "a group of people" and finally you zeroed in on your target, the Christ Follower)

Secondly, I got your hidden message that an unbeliever is Righteous.

plaetton:

God is the greatest creation of the human primitive mind.

Now you have abandoned your post and thread and made another false Allegation which again is not a certain Truth but the wicked creation of your Anti-God minds.

For just as your car and toothpick can not create you, so Also can no man create He Who we call God!

plaetton:

The sheer complexity, the many contradictions of this creation is a clear and compelling look into the complexity and seeming contradictions of the human psyche.

When we have people like you amongst us how will there not be contradictions. Shall Anti-God, promote Godliness?

plaetton:

For, in God we find love, kindness and all the lofty ideals of certain parts of our psyche.
In God also ,we find the contradictions, the hypocrisies, the selfishness, the wickedness, the greed, the averice that constitute the less evolved and most primitive parts of the human psyche.

For God is The One who Set and Established The Laws of Righteousness. No One else but God.

And is it not man who disobeys and does not do the Righteousness which is commanded?

So you are Wicked and Wrong to have ascribed the Offences committed by man (one person) to God (Another Person) Who has Given the Order that Offences Should Not and Must Not be committed.

Now having done this wickedness oh unbeliever, is this righteous?

Do you now see how easy it is for you unbelievers to do unrighteousness?

There is No Righteous without God, for even as you said believers also disobey and do unrighteousness, so how much and how great shall the unrighteousness of the unbeliever be when he does not know all the righteousness that he should do and can not know them?

That is why the Godly are doing the righteousness of informing you that you need to learn to know all the Righteousness that you ought to do and it is Only the Bible which contains All the Righteousness that you ought to do!
