Stop talking nonsense. You atheists are the king of unfair and dishonest debates Taking advantage of the fact that in the past most christians where not prepared that atheists had come to nairaland to attack them and neother did thry not know the rules of debate therefore you bullied and arm.twisted them.

But now, we are prepared and have engaged with you and you.have lost and are losing is why you are complaining and making unnecessary noises about the very same rules you yourselves violate like this your mad brother just did now now now!

See how you have changed topic thereby.proving that you are permamently mad and perpetually stupid. Fool!

See how he changed post because he could not counter, and this is one of the violations you people do yet you are making noise.

Whenever you people are ready to debate fairly, we are here for you.

I can even put up a N50,000 for us to have a public debate, judged on rules of debate to show that YOU ATHEISTS HAVE NO THING. ONLY LIES!
Aha! So where can we have this debate. I'll double the money to 100k. Lets see who blinks. Please get a venue, preferably online. And make it public so people can view.
Guys see how this one would run

I literally just defined what atheism is.. and your best rebuttal is "nuh uh" ..

Dude.. seriously..



Laughably false. And the idea that atheists hate a god that they don't believe to exist is simply not the case.

Go check my posts. Most of my rebuttals to religion and gods can be applied to multiple religions.. especially the Abrahamic ones (including islam).

Also, we live in societies that are controlled or directly influenced by certain specific beliefs. In Nigeria, those beliefs would be Christianity or Islam.. overall the Abrahamic religion. Hence the criticism of the respective faiths.
Again, this is Dtruthspeaker. You're better off debating with a brick wall

I will tell you what i told your mad brother

"You think people are blind like you? Think people don't see that you people do not really attack muslims?

Did you not hear that actions speaks louder than words?




Can be applied is not the same as applied.

And by your.actions you have only applied it to one area.

So, clearly, you have impliedly admitted and confessed that you have only attacked christians and their God as your threads even prove.

As i can attack is not the same as i.attacked so also Can be applied is not the same as applied.
How many Muslims topics have you seen on Nairaland religion section? And how many Muslims have you seen attack atheists? Didnt you see my posts in was arguing with a Muslim who said Islam is scientifically correct? In fact you made a post on that thread

See how dishonest.you are!

Instead of you to address my response which is that our action is predicated upon "rebuttable presumptions"

You then switched the argument to "Lots of theists also support or accept things like evolution and the big bang." WHICH IS NOT EVEN THE ISSUE OF YOUR THREAD! A complete off point and departure from post and divertilon and fraudulent switching of the attention to theists, (switching of the burden) whereas the attention is on you.

YOUR RESPONSE HERE IS EVEN TRYING TO. FRAUDULENTLY SWITCH IT BACK AGAIN TO THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD WHICH I HAVE ALREADY ANSWERED.

YOU ATHEISTS DON'T KNOW HOW TO HAVE A FAIR DEBATE!
lots of bold texts and yelling.. and still you've said nothing. I'm telling you not to have presumptions in the first place because they are based on a false idea, and you're ranting about how I should try to refute your false presumptions.. instead of you not just having them in the first place.

a-theism.. it's literally in the name. Look it up in any dictionary too. It's not "my" definition. I'm just defining the word based on what it literally means... from the name.. and trying to dispel the multiple wrong misconceptions people like you have about it.


I will tell you what i told your mad brother

"You think people are blind like you? Think people don't see that you people do not really attack muslims?

Did you not hear that actions speaks louder than words?
Attack muslims in what sense? And in what sense do we attack christians? if criticism of your belief, which like i said, directly affects the society i live in is seen as an attack to you, on you, then you're the one who's not seeing things clearly.

In what way have i applied my actions to one area? Here's a list of some of my posts.

1. Why You Should Absolutely Question "God"
2. If You Have A Personal Relationship With God, Why Do You Need Holy Books?
3. Theists, Prove YOUR God Exists

and there's more. How are these questions, or these threads geared at only christianity or the christian god?

You cannot readdress my answer you have already first answered it. It is fraud called reargument or relitigation.

So bye bye rearguments are not allwed for you had made your argument and i countered. And you broke the law of argument in your attempt to counter, my counter, and that is where we stopped

And instead of you to leave the issue you have still switched and change post to rearguing what you have already argued.

What did I accuse you of? Also where did I say you believe in god? You proposed a god as the beginning and I asked you what began this your god.
I just gave you two popular explanations for the beginning. God. Big Bang.

Here we go. So if it is logical for EVERYTHING to have a beginning then what began your god?
This is where you said "your god" to me.
Re: Atheism 101 - Please Educate Yourself by WeirdAlien: 5:01pm On Aug 18, 2024
Wilgrea7:
Thanks for the input.

A person does not need to accept one or the other. When it comes to many things, it's okay to say "i don't know".

Just because I don't know something, doesn't mean i have to accept a belief about it. I can say i don't know, and that's fine.

My rejection of a god/gods does not come from my belief in an alternate theory or story. It comes from lack of evidence of said god/gods.

If something lacks credible evidence, I'm not inclined to believe it, regardless of whether or not there's an alternative theory.

Also i feel like i should point out that the big bang theory does not state that the universe randomly came from nothing. That's also another grave misconception about it.
Okay well said. Your opinion. Everyone should respect that.
Re: Atheism 101 - Please Educate Yourself by WeirdAlien: 5:13pm On Aug 18, 2024
jaephoenix:
Personally, I don't know the beginning. But I know evolution is facts because the evidence is real. I think Big Bang seems correct but it still doesn't tell us the beginning of the universe.
So if you say everything was created and it was your god, then who made your god? Surely everything should have a creator?
And why do you think irs your specific god?
First I only mentioned God and big bang. I didn't say my God.
Since you tend towards big bang and evolution, I would base my further responses on that assumption.

I already explained "your god", you mentioned god so it's "your god". Now can you to get to explaining why the god is exempted from YOUR statement that EVERYTHING has a beginning.

A simple fact apologists will pretend not to understand. The same way people don't believe there is a rainbow-coloured, indestructible, three-headed elephant statue in the center of the earth is the same way atheists don't believe in god. We simply have no sound reason to believe god exists.

Wilgrea7:
Hello again everyone.

I've noticed something pitifully embarrassing here on this platform, when it comes to discourse with theists. And that is what atheism is, or what an atheist is supposed to believe.

It's come up more times than I can remember, where someone assumes just because someone doesn't believe in a god, then they must "believe in" evolution, or the big bang or that everything came from nothing and so on. .

The aim of this post is to clarify exactly what atheism is, and what atheists believe. So please read closely.

So what is atheism? and what do atheists believe?

Simply put, atheism is the LACK OF BELIEF in a god.Atheists do not believe in a god.

Belief in things like evolution and the big bang are NOT prerequisites to atheism. Please understand this.

A person can be an atheist, and still not accept evolution, or the big bang. The only prerequisite for being an atheist, is the lack of belief in a god That's all there is to it.

Atheists can have other beliefs not related to a god, but they are not prerequisites for atheism, nor are the beliefs a definition of atheism.

Please try to understand this. So next time you see someone say "atheists believe in X or Y". Kindly show them this thread.

I will say it again. The only prerequisite for atheism, is the lack of belief in a god.

Thank you for your attention. Contributions and rebuttals as always are welcome.
@ the bolded ,atheists, (not all of them),also assume they know what every non atheist should believe or what every religion in the world teaches,,and it's "pitifully embarrassing" too seeing them passing wrong judgement on others who don't share in their non belief or challenges them on something they have said. To them, if you reject or question evolution theory then you're a gullible theist who believes in creationism .

In my opinion, the behaviour is fueled both by cognitive bias and the desperation to win an argument using under hand tactics. If it's the later, then no amount of education can stop the person. It's the lazy man's method of winning an argument without much sweat.

You will observe that those who label you a believer in evolution theory do so by highlighting its limitations while ignoring what has been proven to be true about it in order to dismiss it as mere theory and then call you ignorant and stupid for subscribing to it It's the same treatment they have received from atheist who question their sanity for accepting creationism is what they want to revenge.

I have experienced the worst from some atheist here who are very quick to assume that anyone challenging them or saying something in support of what they rejected must have done so because they believe in a God.


The education should be for everyone, me included.

Don't be so quick to assume about the next person or about anything else until you can be sure to some extent. If you do ,it shows you're not thinking but just reacting based on what your learning or past experience have taught you. We haven't experienced it all or learnt everything.

BTW your definition for atheism is incomplete. An atheist is not only the person who doesn't believe in a God but who also don't subscribe to the supernatural Any atheist subscribing to the supernatural is confused in my opinion.

I haven't disputed evolution nor accepted creationism as credible . I only expressed my opinion about what I think is the cause why some persons here assume wrongly about others. I said they don't know enough but
think they do about the next person before passing judgement. That is cognitive bias.

And also that the habit of labelling others as this or that is a lazy way of winning an argument. Both the theist and atheist are guilty of all of these.
