sinkhole:it didn't need to since that is made clear in the story for anyone with a a brain really. This is logic 101! If you are told all(males and females) are descended from Adam and Eve then it follows that all are genetically linked to Adam and Eve. This no be rocket science abeg! |

Angel55555: Its still the same thing I stated. RC is more political than religious, birthed from the papacy of the Vatican, the centre of Pagan worship of the goddess of the sun..,They churned Christianity with pagan worship into a blend of doctrine as well as a political order that was spread by the military might of Rome. Christianity already had its momentum way before then without violence even up till the time of Emperor Nero till today. Colonization was a political move rather than religious. You're right. |

There is God, the one true God. The one that needs no sons and daughters. The Knower of the hour, one with the knowledge of all things. One that makes no mistakes, the master planner. He worships none and you all must bow to him. He's no Muhammed, Jesus, Moses, Buddha or Sango. It might be Allah, Jehovah, Oluwa, Gott or whatever you choose to identify him as, but I know him to be the creator of the heavens and the earth and more. He doesn't need no help, no woman and definitely no offsprings. He forgives who he wants and punishes who he so desires. He needs no sacrificial lamb to forgive you. He's not insane and he doesn't need to prove anything to you for his praise to be sung. He loves you unconditionally and he's the most merciful. God is one and can never be three-in-one. |

Atheists are actually the strongest " belivers" I have ever seen and met. This is because it is more rigorous, difficult and more of a hokus pokus to believe that God does not exist than to believe He exist. 1 Like |

Too risky not to believe in God...what if you die and find out there is a God and its too late cos you are dead. It really wont cost you anything to believe, except discipline which ultimately is for your own good. As long as Godliness is a positive message as captured in the holy books to maintain global order then its better to believe. The biggest problems and threat to world are free thinkers who believe nobody can tell them what to do...atheism is a mental and gradual self destruction mechanism. |

tiger28: Nobody knows for sure, but some of us find the transition from energy to atoms to proteins to life a much more compelling story than the one about a magical creator that wills things into existence. Religion is just humanity's way of explaining the Universe and their role in it. There have been countless religions, each confident that their story is the sole truth. You have only adopted another culture's religion. Objectilvely, if the Romans had lasted long enough to colonize us, we'd probably be arguing about their pantheon today. Genesis is not any better than the Yoruba one about a chicken coming from heaven and spreading the sand to make Earth. The similarities between so many other religions (which the Abrahamic ones are so contemptuous of), makes one question the suppposed superiority of any mythology. Just think, if we were having this discussion before either of us heard about the Abrahamic God, we might be arguing over the existense of Ala or Olodumare (which are basically equivalent, as the supreme being), but have different origins and stories about them. The irony of your statment about a man killing many is that religion - and not the lack of it - is often the justification to kill. Rare are the number of atrocities done by atheists. As rational beings, we don't need a deux to tell us it's wrong to kill. 1 Like |

Science disputed Biblical accounts initially, not anymore after most recent discoveries. If you read the Bible like a story book, you'll judge it like one. Nehemiah and Daniel were contemporaries but if you look at the chapter arrangement you'll think they are 10 generations apart. Between Genesis Chapter 1 vs 1 and vs 2 are millions of years apart. This agrees with science. Read on the gap theory. Atheist have their will. But I can't be too dumb to claim what I don't understand doesn't exist. Everyone thought Dalton was right about atomic structures, cos his assertion appealed to basic human logic. A greater scientist, Einstein checked in later and discovered a concept about the electron cloud. A fact that defied logic. That an electron can be present in more than one point in an atom at a time. Does that make sense? Of course no. Bats (not Tinubu), fly by the aid of reflected sound in frequencies that our ears can't detect. Do I then dispute that because I can't hear it? Stupid. You only have five senses to detect and respond to the vast features and elements of creation.., and you want to boldly summarise what reality is by your limited perceptions? Stupid. Absolutely stupid. If you're an atheist and you believe in your doctor, then you're a clown. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Neither of us have an objective way of confirming what we think, and I know that these dicsussions hardly end anywhere - I assume you're wrong, and you assume I'm wrong. I have no reason to trust your claim, anymore than you to trust my claim. |

aribisala0: 3000+ years ago, yes people thought that Zeus existed and was responsible for thunder and keeping order, though we're not quite sure about how things were created. They even had a story about him killing his father (Chronus aka time, which eventually consumes all things), and freeing his siblings from Chronus' grasp. Today we smile bemused that people could fervently believe it... in the same way atheists are bemused by the fervent claims of Abrahamic religions today. If we seem like heretics, please forgive us, for the similarities between what we now call myths, to what we now call religions, are too numerous to ignore 1 Like |

sundaygray:Apparently,if you go outside the box (Nigeria) you will know that religion is more than Christianity and Islam. I stayed in India for years and i can tell you that the only religion that don't depend solely on God is Hinduism.Hinduism teaches about living a good life irrespective of the God you worship. How can you say you serve only one God and you have a different religion (Christian and Muslims). The universe is what favours humans 1 Like |

nextstep:There you go again pretending to speak for me. I already confirmation for what is my belief. And my belief, I know is Truth. You may not have and know what I know but we are definitely not in the same boat. By the way, up until October 2017, I used to be atheist myself. I was never a believer before the faithful night it all turned for me. And it has never been the way it used to everyday since then... |
