Do they believe in the Christian god

No,but they believe in God only because the idea of God is natural.

The idea of God is in you,and you like every other atheists,will always be restless to disprove the existence of God.

Every theist does not disturb themselves to prove the existence of God because they are among the proofs.

Bro,faculty reason is like every other faculties,they have their limits;our eyes can not see those organisms floating in the air,our ear cannot detect that ants make 'noise' and sense of reason is not different.

If Scientists have not seen the 'smallest thing ever', what about the greatest Being? The answer is simple,their sophisticated equipments is f by far,like a drop of water to an ocean, incapable.

I thought you said you are the one who knows how to use contraceptives cheesy

Or do you go around with condoms in your purse for that willing and ready random guy who wants to wet his whistle?

Either way it shows a deep rot in your personality.

Condoms , pills, good luck with them but then again perhaps you should actually try getting pregnant. The hormonal changes might bring out the pleasant side of you and at least temporarily hide your horrible sides.

Just my own 2 cents sis smiley

The oneness of God with man can be likened to the ocean and the wave. God is the ocean and man is the wave. The wave cannot to be the ocean yet the wave cannot own a seperate identity from the ocean. Similarly, man cannot claim to be God yet man is not seperate or apart from God.
Forgetting who you are as a spiritual being who is endowed with all the powers of God Himself is the beginning of the problems of man.
Man needs to know this truth about himself. This knowledge alone will make his troubles and struggles to cease. Just as the ray of light is a unit of the sun, so are you a unit of supreme intelligence.
Man, you are of the full Glory of God, you cannot worship or know God until you awaken to this realisation of your spiritual nature. You cannot relate to the heavenly networks, states or realms in your consciousness that you are flesh and blood.
The path has been found. Who wants to know it?
LOVE...

Bro,Deborah kelleman,a professor of psychologist, writes that the idea of God is naturally hardwired into human intuition,and infact,Paul Bloom a professor at Yale concludes that a child is naturally born a theist.The notion that there is no atheist in a foxhole supports this scientific fact.This is because the idea of God will always manifest itself in extreme situation.

You may be prentending not to believe in the existence of God,but the truth is,the idea of God will always be there,and this,makes all atheists relentlessly seeking proofs and reasons to convince themselves of theism. Richard Dawkins a notorious atheist is restless of this cause.
Lol because is a psychologist doesn't mean he speaking from available data. There have be stories of children raised my wild animals, they act exactly the animal which raised them so this counter your proof, secondly religion is what man used to explain his environment in the time past, go back and read the origin of the Jews god, you can take a cue from the bible, feature of god in as described my Moses is nothing more than a volcanic activity. Idea we passed down from generation upon generation, we were all born into religious homes until we decide scrutinized the facts. You see child is like a fresh computer, whatever he see or hears he copy. I own run a thought experiment because it barbaric in nature, as raise a child in total isolation and see the output. When the results is the child will remain a child if he is 50 years now, going by your theory of a person been hardwired from birth, that child been in isolation, should know about god which is 100% wrong.

Very possibly an inherent desire to fill a certain lacuna. It's like an endless space in everyone, that needs to be filled simply because their "Manufacturer" put "eternity" in there. But how can you fill Eternity without Eternity Himself?

That's why He did say assuredly thus; "Except a man is born a second time, he shall not(see) "experience"/ know or be acquainted with, the Kingdom/Heaven of God.

See why it's important to have a new birth? The new birth always completes your belief with an experience of divine realities.
Hmmm talking about born again, known as Kayakalpa 500 yrs before Jesus talked about it. Also Madame Blavatski in her Esoteric books.
Ancient Mystics as well. Whats the best way to get born again.?

Hmm. The BOOK OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY already predicted a time like this when at very tender age our kids will be arguing God-related matters. I'm happy seeing this already. The concepts of God which are available right now are the ones atheists and irreligious people see and antagonize. For instance, how will you say that God is Jehovah or Allah? Their personalities and frivolities are enough for a 5 year old kid of this generation to detect that they can't fit as God with their myopic explanation of creations, reality and the universe.

Maybe when the world finally comes to understand that THE TOTALITY OF EXISTENCE is God Almighty, then we might not be having atheists in the world again, since all atheists are aware that there is EXISTENCE and so there will be TOTALITY OF EXISTENCE(God Almighty). But for you to say that God Almighty is one of the gods in one religion or the other, then atheists will surely antagonize you.

So I think the reason why atheists keep talking about that your god is because you keep telling them that he or she is their God.


What a load of BS , "totality of existence" grin grin grin grin grin , you crack me up mate

My Son is super smart and at 8 has already been given double promotion twice in school. The 1st one he got was in the 2nd term of that year and he was only able to join the new class in their 3rd term yet he still came first and the school thought it necessary to move him again. So he is now in a class with kids 3yrs older than he is and already besting them too.

We are a very God loving family and even though I have never sat my son down to talk to him about God, I do ensure he goes to Church with me and joins me in my daily morning devotions. I do notice that he has an extremely inquisitive mind and would rather watch educational channels on DStv than cartoons especially since they stopped showing his best cartoon "Goku"

So we have this neighbour who is from Greece. His 7 yr old son and my son can be considered best of friends and they visit each other at will. So on this day he came to visit and while they were hanging out I suddenly heard them arguing from his room. Normally their arguments would be over a video game or something else but this one was interesting. They were arguing about God!

I stood by the door and listened. Apparently that day revealed to me that my neighbour is an atheist but I never knew and he has been indoctrinating his 7yr old son along those lines because I clearly heard the boy say to my Son, "God does not exist, he is just a story"

So here is the convo

Him: God is not real, He does not exist, He is just a story

My Son: Ethan what did you say?

Him: God is not real, He is just like Santa who also isn't real

My Son: How do you know he isn't real?

Him: Well my dad said he isn't real because he just isn't. Have you seen him?

My Son: So your dad says God isn't real because he hasn't seen him? So something isn't real because you can't see it? But what about feeling Him?

Him: Feelings are not something we can um um fully determine because they can be misleading

My Son: How can you say Feelings are misleading, you are my friend right? (He goes yeah?) So how are you sure you are my friend if your feelings can be misleading. Can you say your feelings misled you into being my friend?

Him: No that's not what I was trying to say

My Son cuts him off with a sharp tone: So if your feelings did not mislead you into being my friend how then do feelings mislead you?

Him: Have you felt God before?

My Son: No but I do know that I think about him a lot

Him: umm umm but How would you possibly be thinking about something that does not exist

My Son: Exactly Ethan!

At this point I step into the room and cheerfully say Okay guys playtime is over (because I needed to stop the argument and get my Son to study by asking his friend to go home)

However his final comment "Exactly Ethan" resonated with me and made me think that comment was actually directed at Ethan's dad and not Ethan because apparently he had been talking about the non existence of God to his Son A LOT!

So how do you constantly talk or think about Something or Someone that doesn't exist?


Your son wasn't so smart in this argument

Tetehjewels:


Let me posit this analogy to an atheist.

Someone from the future comes to earth with a different door design from what we are used to.

We are used to doors with handles and we have seen it enough to have a preconceived notion that all doors must have handles or some mechanism which opens them.

This person from the future is standing on the other side of the door while the atheist is standing outside on the other side and wants to enter the house where the future man is but he can see the door but not the mechanism that opens the door.

So he keeps telling the future man that he cannot open the door because the mechanism to open it is not there.

There is a huge disconnect between atheists and the perception of a Christian. They do not know what we know nor can they see what we see or perceive so to them they blame us for their own shortfalls or inadiquacy despite clearly seeing and hearing the voice from the inside of the house which clearly shows that someone already entered the house using same door.

The problem is actually that of the atheist and not ours. All their questions about proof and so on is just their inadequacy screaming out loud like a Child who knows he cannot cross a busy road without the help of an adult but chooses to blame the cars instead. smiley
Your anology is lame, it should be the Christian in fact I prefer the word a religious person that is standing at the other side of the door an can't find the handle. Most of us was once religious before we decided to seek for greater truth so we are the future and you guys living in the past, we have tasted both world, whereas you guys are scared to leave confort zone.

Lol,well.The story of a baby raised by a wild animal,i haven't read that,though laughable,but i think you should write atleast the name of the researcher,i think that's a very good place to start.

The idea that man is born naturally a theist is not just an idea.....it's a fact.The same way we are born with sense of judgment as regards being right or wrong.The counter argument to this by atheists is that such intuitions are merely products of evolution,and this will lead to another contradiction.

If a child is raised in a moon the idea of God will always filter out. If one is raised in a moon and pushed down roughly in a moon by someone,such person will always consider the action wrong and hurtful

Always results to insult when you know you have nothing to offer. That is the tactics of small minds, using attack as means of defense. The knowledge I have is enough to crash your little brain. Why not come out with a valid point to counter what I have to say.

LMAO! Avengers don't exist yet 3 of the most successful movies on the planet are about them. Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter don't exist yet fans of either hold conventions and buy replicas of items from either franchise with almost religious gusto. The fact that we indulge in whatever fantasies we love doesn't give credence to their reality. Sure the 7yr old has been gleaning stuff off from his father and doesn't have the reflective capability of your 8 Yr old but that doesn't make your god real. Also your son might be right that not everything that real is seen but we talking of a living god not an unknown quantity. If a living god doesn't have evidence then there is no difference between your god and the Avengers.

You're right.

The Adam and Eve story was a Jewish creation myth.

Every culture around the world had stories they told about how the world came to be.

These Nigerian hypocrites mock the oduduwa story and laugh at odududwa coming down from heaven.

But they fully respect that Jesus ascended to heaven as he was.
The Adam and Eve story predate the Jewish era. There is even a Jewish version that eve was not first wife of Adam but Lilith. The Jewish religion has dozen of text written over a long period of time, find them and read you will it is not a myth. So laugh at idiots professing their religion like it so special but it no difference every other myth out there like Zeus and odin
