All religious gods are nonexistent. Their existences have no basis in reality and there are no sound logical arguments to back up their existences.
Prove me wrong!

■I have always been this way, right from my early years as a child; I would always go through my parent’s things. Call it sheer curiosity, but I thought that if I had more insight into what was going on their lives, then I would know what to ask for, how to help or what to do (or maybe it's just curiosity). And that is what led to me take up reading the entire Bible. Three books in and I already know what the answer is going to be. GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. Which is why when you think you have figured Him out, something happens to reset all the data and evidence you have. And for the first time in my life, I have accepted that maybe it is best if I don’t try to understand God.
So, for anyone that has had the same question, I suggest you Trust and Love God instead, knowing fully well that no matter what happens, He has the best in store for you.

The year is 2013, Tari is in his 3rd year in the university, and after years of negligence on his faith in God, he decided to be more faithful. So, he starts paying his Tithe, cleaning the church and even gets baptised. He’s not the most righteous person, but from a distance, you can see he is making an effort. Everything is going great, he feels a connection to God and then a few months into his third year, Tari gets expelled. Yes, instead of being rewarded with all the good things of life, at 19, Tari loses three years of his life, and the only words out of his mouth are” God, why me?”.

Recently, I decided to read the entire Bible. Yes, from Genesis to Revelation (well, I’m only three books in but still…). Taking my faith in God seriously has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my 24 years on earth. Being born into a Christian home and having parents who love and trust God like their lives depend on Him didn’t leave me much of choice as a child. But my decision to get closer to my God is one I made out of necessity. Truth is, you and I didn’t create ourselves, and so we are not self-sufficient. We have a purpose on earth, and to fulfil that purpose, we need some guidance from the one who created us.

I like to think that God and I understand each other and whatever I ask, he gives, but there are times I have had my doubts if someone is watching and listening and if there is, does HE care? I know most of us have had those questions and uncertainties, and it’s okay. But really, one question that has been on my mind lately is “How does God work?”. And I’m not asking this because I want to be God or anything like that. I mean, I am ambitious but not that ambitious. My curiosity for the complex working of our creator stems from a desire to get closer to God. Because If I can get closer to Him, then maybe I can understand why everything happens the way they do.

I have always been this way, right from my early years as a child; I would always go through my parent’s things. Call it sheer curiosity, but I thought that if I had more insight into what was going on their lives, then I would know what to ask for, how to help or what to do (or maybe it's just curiosity).

So all the Gods worshiped in ancient times like Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome and England are nonexistent yet people throughout history have been worshiping all these Gods shey?
Ọmọ you sabi pass sabinus!

Martinez39s:
The presence of the worshippers of a supposed diety does not prove the existence of the diety. People can be deluded, brainwashed, and indoctrinated to worship a nonexistent being or human.

Zeus, Poseidon, Hercules, Ahura Mazda, Sango, Amadioha, Ogun, Jesus, Allah, Eze Nwanyi etc. never existed as claimed by their ardent followers and, where applicable, holy scriptures. Go figure.

MaxInDHouse:


Guy, they all existed but they're not fit to last because they're all fallen angels, they have transformed into something else deceiving their worshipers that they're now Jesus that's why you're seeing thousands of different religions all claiming worshipers of Jesus with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines!

Martinez39s:
Okay.
Wait o. Are you OtemAtum?

Is he/she one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

Dtruthspeaker:
The fact that people, everywhere, of thousands and thousands of years old, who saw how the world was in what we would call the beginning where worshiping a deity, is proof that there is a Deity.

For all people everywhere can not be brainwashed and deceived at the same time and in fact mass brainwashing only became possible with the advent of the television and radio.

LoLz! This is the thought stopping hard lock that has been bred into you that's why you give up exploring any further. You are not alone, I had the same thought stopping process for years until I decided to look behind the curtain.

1. Not everyone has a god[/quote ]

Off point.
You are talking about todays rebellion and apathy towards God whereas, the post was talking about how the people of the past recognized and acknowleged the presence and existence of God in their languages.

[quote author=jaephoenix post=127146025]
2. Worship of deities stemmed from man's ignorance about his surroundings. Like floods, rains, fertility. The ancients attributed gods to such phenomena.
So such worship is borne out of ignorance not the existence of such deities

Martinez39s:
The presence of mystical beliefs and assorted deities across many tribes that were not in contact with each other does not prove the existence of a deity, supernatural entities, or supernatural dimensions.

These beliefs and imagined deities arose from certain aspects of human nature and the harsh environmental factors during our crude early beginning. Let me explain:....

jaephoenix:

Once in a while, read through your posts and check if they make sense.
How does multiple denominations depict the deity of Jesus?
And are you even aware those guys have been proven to be myths and nothing else(by history), yet to say they exist, including your favorite sky daddy

jaephoenix:

Na. That's another fruitcake. This here fruitie, aka MadMax, is on a whole new fruity level all by himself

Dtruthspeaker:


Be reasonable. We know things imagined in the past e.g. man flying from one place to another, travelling faster and doing things faster and better.

But no one wishes to imagine a God. It is adverse to man.

And while you say harsh environment, as evidence of God's Curse, clearly Africa was not harsh but blessed and Africans respected God until the white devils came with their Curse. And now Africa is cursed with harshness and suffering and all the things the cursed Whiteman devil used to suffer.

MaxInDHouse:


Who proved they never existed?

Continue deceiving yourself!

jaephoenix:

I did. Scientists did. Etc
Can you?

jaephoenix:

So why isn't the 'white devils' that brought the curse suffering?
Before you say any crap, remember your own folks are running to meet this 'white devil

jaephoenix:

Also remember that the fact you're a Christian and you're here disturbing our peace is cos of those 'White devils'
Talk about common sense

jaephoenix:

So if they pray for a bountiful harvest, then automatically there is a god? Lol 😆

jaephoenix:

So other occupations don't have atheists?
