Since it’s a rumor, what if they got it all wrong, or the rumor was actually spread by the enemy? and it is actually those that wears the red cap that get killed?
Red is an hostile color.
Since it’s a rumor how sure that the right color of the cap is red and not green, and that red cap actually signifies war?

And your conclusion is wrong, god is a title not a person, we have different gods claiming different things.
Yahweh is not same with allah, allah is not same with brahma, brahma is not the same with Akal Mura, so as the other thousand gods, you’ll have to wear hundreds of different color of caps(believe in hundreds of gods)then.

The Folly of Theism.

god is a title not a person, you are quoting “satan” that’s only found in your religion.
In judaism where Christianity originates from, “satan” is not an entity but a title, only in your Christianity that “satan” became an entity.

“god” is an English word, was new or Old Testament written in English?
What was written in the place of “god” before the books were translated to English?
From your statement we know your god is a mere male(he, him).
You’ve been brainwashed and indoctrinated to worship yahweh, the israelite god.

I’m sure you are educated, yahweh is a god, yahweh and allah are 2 gods. Singular and Plural.

You using capital “G”, for your own deity doesn’t change anything, i wonder how you pronounce “god” and “God”

Story, story.

What did you call it? Unknown. Those fellows KNOW there is city enroute their destination, we on the other hand don't know anything after death.

You only don't know what may happen after death. The similarities between you and those city people is that:

1. You both have not taken the journey before.

2. You both don't have anyone who has gone there and returned.

3. You both don't know what to expect on that journey.

4. You both are hearing rumours about what may be encountered on that journey.

Except the rumors are by people who also have not taken the journey before in our case so we are all staring at an UNKNOWN. You believe the rumors, I don't.

Except as far as we know death is the end so even if I say we shall see, it's practically meaningless. I choose to focus on my life now, not dreaming of what will come after I die, when it's not something I can even know.

There was an old man in this city. The oldest of them all. After the 100 men had departed, he summoned his numerous children and said, 'Do you see this travelling company? Those who have a red cap are wise because, if in case, this rumour turns out to be true, these wise ones would save their heads a million times. And if it's a false rumor, they actually have nothing to lose. But those who journeyed without a red cap are fools, for if this rumour turns out to be true, they'll certainly lose their heads."

Conclusion
The company of those who wore a red cap are the believers. If there's no God out there in death, they have nothing to lose.

But the Atheists who are taking a godless journey into the unknown eternity are simply being reckless. If in case there's a God out there. They're losers.


Interesting story which anyone can learn from, but unfortunately you have misapplied it .

You have simply ignored the fact that the story is set in a physical location and that the men were journeying to another part of it that's expected to exist even if they have never been there before.

This is unlike your imaginary non physical heaven which even you yourself doubt exist.

Since the 100 men were embarking on a journey to another physical location they expect should exist, the men who bought a cap to save their heads incase the rumor turned out to be true acted wisely.

But in a situation where somebody advise another to buy a life jacket and wear it to bed to save their life incase they have a dream of drowning and the advice is heeded to, then both the person who gave the advice and the person who obeyed it ,have acted unwisely and need their heads examined. This is exactly how you have misapplied the story.

Heaven is imaginary or is created by the imagination of those who believe in it.

It's not a known physical space that exist somewhere. Even if we accept it exist somehow in a non physical location, there's no single verified story of anyone who has gone there and back to convince everyone that such a place exist.

When there is no problem and the problem is not about money,atheism seems to come to bear but when there is wahala that is choking throat, then God comes to bear.

Besides, what message do you want to preach to an uncertain atheist who does not exist.

Try to know the meaning first before asking for prove

Or you know and you already know if the parameters of qualifying to either destinations are applied, you would not be arriving at the good destination. So, there is no need to ponder about it, exactly like an olodo can not be pondering about University and youth service and being a graduate, he knows already that he cannot pass jamb, so no need.

Yahweh or allah or brahma? Or the other hundreds of gods?
