Wilgrea7:

I don't know what you want me to say. Congratulations??
You have the ability to debate almost anyone on the flimsiest of topics relating to religion here on nairaland.. but when asked simple straightforward questions.. all of a sudden you don't debate aimlessly
That's the same excuse you used to run away from my thread on justifying old testament atrocities.
If you don't have a rebuttal.. then just say so. Trying to switch the goalpost to peace or bringing up irrelevant stories isn't doing anything for you

MaxInDHouse:


It does a lot!

Have you noticed that any atheist with whom you chat on this forum remain a total stranger to you despite the fact that both of you agreed to debunk the existence of God?

Well with each JW throughout the world i have a brother/sister relationship {Mark 10:29-30} that gives me the rest of mind that anyday anytime faithless people decides to start killing their neighbours on the ground of politics and racism {Revelations 6:3-4} i will be safe with my JW family anywhere i find myself around the globe but you instantly become a dead meat as the atheist you're chatting with on Nairaland can't relate with you after all both of you only agreed on whatever money can buy not faith in God or future peace! Psalms 115:4-8

afficionado7:

Lol

WHAT... YOU.. ARE.. SAYING... IS .. NOT.. RELATED.. TO... THE.. POINT... I ... RAISED.... ADDRESS.. IT... OR... FORFEIT

MaxInDHouse:


"WHY YOU, AS AN ATHEIST, SPEND YOUR TIME DEBATING RELIGION"

Just to argue aimlessly!

Wilgrea7:

Two can play at that game

afficionado7:

Like I said, kudos to you. I couldn't.

Wilgrea7:

Dm me for details on how to pay upfront. You will have to have faith that the homes will be there after you die and go to hell

kingxsamz:

So if the author of harry Potter should come out tomorrow to say she has been hiding the truth all this while, that all she wrote actually happened, will your argument still hold?

cornelboy:

The Bible on the other hand contains some rich histories especially about the Israelites......

MaxInDHouse:

You buy data, charge your device, spend time cracking your brains all just to debate religion for the fun of it no benefits!
Glory be to JEHOVAH who has empowered His worshipers with wisdom in this time of the end otherwise you fools will just come up claiming you're sensible whereas in reality you're all senseless!

cornelboy:

Lol. We know the books are fictional. No sane person would believe that.

The Bible on the other hand contains some rich histories especially about the Israelites.

cornelboy:

Lol. We know the books are fictional. No sane person would believe that.

The Bible on the other hand contains some rich histories especially about the Israelites.

LordTheus:

......which are also fictional as far as we know

kingxsamz:

Who are you to declare her story fictional if she comes out to say all of her book's content is real?

So if the Harry Potter book should contain historical facts about the British, would that validate the entire story? Please answer.

Wilgrea7:

Whether the books are fictional or not is irrelevant. My point stands. If the authenticity of a book is called into question.. you cannot vindictive said book by quoting from the book. Its circular reasoning

LordTheus:

......which are also fictional as far as we know

cornelboy:

So how do you know the authenticity of the book without examining the book itself?

cornelboy:


Everyone knows it was fictional.

The book was fictional. That's the historical fact.

cornelboy:

Athiest mumu die.
The writers of the Bible clearly wrote their books as true events while Harry potter is just work of literature. The author never claim it was a recorded true life story.

FOLYKAZE:

True events....
Travelling from Egypt to Israel where Canaan is located took Israelites 40 wasted years. It seems God and those he directed to write the tale do not understand the terrain so well so was inspiring the writers to pen nonsense.
Google man below shows it takes approx 6days to trek between Cairo and Israel. What true event was the writer capturing? That God is deluded about simple geography or the writer is clueless about the actual event?
Could you please show us the actual, accurate, and concise historical events recorded in the Bible?

kingxsamz:

Do you know what an analogy is?
Or are you scared that answering the question will render your initial argument useless?

cornelboy:

The forty years wandering was a punishment for them.

Wilgrea7:

Do you understand?

Don't get me wrong... I never said you shouldn't examine the bible.. by all means.. you should. Afterall, it's why a lot of us atheists eventually ended up like this.

What I said is, you cannot prove that a book is true, by quoting from the same book.

Let's say you found a book that says 5000 years ago, there was a pink dragon walking around Africa, cooking fried rice for people. And in another part of that book, it said “everything in this book is true"
Does that in any way substantiate the first claim made? Absolutely not.

If you wanted to know if the claim were true or false, you would have to make reference to external sources which are trusted and tested.

For example, this could be the writing of historians living in Africa around that time. Surely if there was such a dragon, it would be popular. There would be writings of it.. drawings.. possibly it's remains as well.. things like that.

If such external evidence does not exist, then the claim of the dragon is simply a claim, and people are under no obligation to regard it as true.

Now, if evidence points to the contrary, let's say the evidence shows that it was in fact not a dragon, but a group of humanitarians who wanted to share their love of fried rice with the surrounding populations, then the claim of the dragon has been proven to be completely false

MaxInDHouse:

He's a sadist who has been frustrated in life.
Can you believe this same idiot was begin for financial assistance on Nairaland for help on family section:
https://www.nairaland.com/6119098/dying-soul
But when they didn't respond this ingrate rushed to the religious section to start begging the same Churchgoers he's criticizing for help
https://www.nairaland.com/5945256/save-wife-child
I told him back then that had it been he's a believer at least members of the house of faith will not abandon his wife and child to die in the hospital. That's the BENEFIT of having a spiritual family!
He was quiet that day just because he's begging for help but afterwards he has dealt ruthlessly with the lady and another lady came to Nairaland to expose him as a deadly wife beater.
So you don't need wasting your time with him he's not sane!

cornelboy:

Baba the Harry potter literature is fictional.
If the author comes out and claim that the fictional stories were true history, that would be an obvious lie.

kingxsamz:

And what will make it an obvious lie?
Please answer.

cornelboy:

Everyone including yourself already know it wasn't a written history.

kingxsamz:

But same can be said about the bible nw?
Or is there anywhere in history where it was written that dry skeleton bones gained flesh and started walking around the city?
