Happy Sunday to all NLers earning via writing.





Wittyness.

Good

The Bible god has no iota of self belief. Everything he (reportedly) does is for glory and praise. He created humans for that and became very angry when they refused to acknowledge and praise him that he sent floods to drown everyone except an incestuous family and some animals in an ark. As if that wasn't enough he threaten to burn any of his human creatures who refuse to acknowledge and worship him forever and ever. Those who eventually make it to the place of bliss would live in where they'd spend eternity praising him forever and ever as a reward for praising him in their lifetimes. That place is what Christopher Hitchens called "Celestial North Korea"

2 churches around my street lost 2 fervent members to illness last week.

One literally collapsed and died in church premises and one died of asthma that could have easily be treated if he went to the hospital in time but he decided to wait for miracle at church, so delusional.

And your imaginary god only watched people masturbate while all these happened, he couldn't do anything to help them because he's fake.

Your god is so omnipotent and powerful but need people to continuously bark like a dog to him before he can listen to them, most Christians believe god have a plan for everything if he have a plan then why are you guys even praying in the first place ? Just leave your all powerful god to do his things you don't need to remind him and bark to him through out your life because he is omnipotent and omniscient and should already know what you need.

Christianity one of the most delusional, hypocritical and contradictory religions.

Okay Sir....I just hope u don't learn the hard way

You can type this nonsense here but must swear an Oath to type same bullcrap on a Muslim thread

Seun what's the mindset or sponsoring thought behind swearing an oath on Muslim threads when people can write thrash on a Christian thread

Christians have been learning the hard way since ages.

Most Christians suffer through out life and expect reward after death, Christianity is just a dealth cult always preaching doom and fear.

And what is the reward ? just singing and praising one narcissistic entity for eternity is that not eternal slavery and punishment ? what's the fun in that ? i did rather rest in peace eternally with no awakening

Most of you are going to be so disappointed that you have been deceived by slave masters all your lives, those Islamic fanatics that terrorise the world also have deep belief like you people , expecting 72 virgins after death lol.

The most ironic thing is you delusional people think your religion is the better one and the real deal lol
