I BELIEVE IN GOD BECAUSE; As living thing we were not present on earth some years back, then we are now here living and some day we will be no more(dead). we came from somewhere to leave on earth. when we die we are going somewhere. only religion provide answers to these questions. Religion talk about believing in GOD.

NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS HERE, THE ONLY TWO REASONS PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE IN SKYDADDY ARE:
1. INDOCTRINATION.
2. FEAR OF UNCERTAINTY.

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED SINCE THE DAY THEY WERE BORN, TO THE EXTENT THAT TO DATE, THEY'RE SOMEHOW CONVINCED THERE'S AN EXISTING RELATIONSHIP (AND COMMUNICATION) WITH GOD IN THEIR MINDS.
PEOPLE WORSHIP GOD AND PRAY BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF TRAGEDY AND FAILURES. THEY'RE AFRAID OF DYING, AND ALSO WHAT HAPPENS TO US AFTER WE DIE.

IF YOU DO NOT INDOCTRINATE A CHILD, AND HE GROWS UP NOT FEARING SUPERSTITIOUS ELEMENTS, DEATH, AND UNCERTAINTY, THEN HE'D HAVE NO NEED TO BELIEVE IN OR WORSHIP ANY GOD.

which God? It's just that words like 'God ' and ' Lord' are just TITLES
I'm sorry it's just Capitalization of the first G in god doesn't diffrenciate your god from 3800+ gods ,who also have their'Gods' name capitalized in their languages too ,

Yes Religion provides an answer to our reason for existence
But that is only one answer admits hundreds others
But thinking your whole life should be indebted to the worship of a Creator , is not logically the best choice admits other logical ,modern in fact I dare say factual reason for our existence.

Again kind sir why do you still believe in God?
Re: Why Do You Still Believe In God, by Gadodoko: 9:48am On Dec 21, 2020
It all depend on how we want to think base on our exposure. Not logical if we have the freewill, i.e not subjected to the laws of existance. But it will be logical when we realise our limitations. Our limitation drive us to believe in that which we think is limitless whome religion point to.

When I tell people parents need to apologize to their children for forcing religion on them, they look at me funny. Telling children as young as six or seven about hell is criminal.

Do you have any memory of a previous existence prior to this? Do you remember your time in heaven? Our lives begin here on earth the day we were born and end the day we die

We are free to our imagination. Come to think of the process of birth u mention, reseach made us to believe we are a product of our parent, 2 chromosome. 2 from each parent. Ur parent from their parent and going in a chain to the very first pair on earth. Our existance is more than birth and die sir.

the same way we knew nothing of before we were born so we will also know nothing after death , without a living brain/ pain Nerves the body is incapable of feeling any for of pain or pleasure.

So you believe Adam and Eve populated the whole planet? That all the races of the earth came from them? And that despite all that, god decided to stick to a specific race and call them his people? The rest of us were created by Satan? Bruv, one doesn't need to go deep into religion to now it is a badly written script, a comic farce.

Do you even know the verses in the bible were voted to be put there? That all the stories in the bible were modelled after ancient religions before it. Your pastors know this. The rich ones are in business, the poor ones still believe their delusions. See, there's a lot to say and so little time. But the first path to sanity is asking questions.

Mr gadodoko, throughout history, there are two forces that have always been at war with each other. Those who command, those who repress, who don't want us to conscious enquiring beings,....and those who want us to be stronger, wiser, to explore. The most dangerous people in the world Mr gadodoko are not witches, nor wizards nor scientists, they are religious people when their gods are threatened.

Indeed it is reasonable, good and allowable to ask reasonable questions and a good Teacher would be happy to receive such questions.

But there is a difference between asking questions and Challenging a Person.

For in asking questions it is because you desire to acquire or confirm information but a Challenge is a Duel, a Fight, a call to Arms and War follows.

Which is also different from a debate which is about 2 Adversaries presenting their own solid positions to see which of them holds a greater substance over and against his opponent.

Then there is the place of Foolish Questions which no reasonable teacher would find acceptable, eg like your phone demanding who manufactured you or your car complaining to you "why did you park me in the mud, do you not see it is dirty, or your laptop in your house saying "free me jare, na you own me?"

It's impossible for your phone to ask you questions.
So,your post is baseless.

it's impossible for a creator who doesn't want you to ask questions to give you the ability to do so. It's impossible for a creator who doesn't want you to be logical to give you a brain capable of logic. Your assertion is baseless.

2 Answers for you.
1) because you did not give it right to speak up
2) you would still not give a poo about what it says even if you gave it permission to speak, or are you going to lie now and say that you would listen to your car when it says "i hope you are not putting me through that dirty flood?" and you would say "okay sir, I'll look for another way"

It's your kind who asked Stupid Questions and compelling us to answer it.

Now we have answered it and now you are complaining again claiming it was "a stupid question", was it not a stupid question even before you demanded us to answer?

Abeg, chill!
