iv4fb: Atheism, the religion of folly!


Yet out of the 'innocency' of their heart they speak; ignorance is Bliss! Some speak with high level of intellect, although some (like logicboy) always sound like demons on mission. Although having interact with them, I think most of them do not believe in God but they know he's there, some will say he's a figment of our imaginations, or a creation of man whatever the case, they acknowledge that existence


Christianity-most christians, their life do not reflect Christ for if they believe there is a God, why don't they fear and respect him,the Jesus in the bible (atheist, even if u say it was a fairy tale), his life was blameless, humble and worth emulating. 90percent of the wicked ppl on earth, including but not limited to theieves, robbers, 'politicians' are christians

Islam, with the 'peace' they unleash on the world, even animals will rethink, 99.99 percennt of terrorists and probably diabolically inclined terrorists are muslims.

Because islam has loads of issues and christianity today has loads of issues doesn't mean we should create a dreamland. Honestly, because life is damn hard doesn't mean we should commit suicide!


so where do you stand, you reject atheism, you reject christianity, you reject Islam

we might as well reject your statement as a senseless, directionless greatest level of folly of which you labelled atheism


what you just said now is the highest level of folly!

do you see your folly, you believe what you are told without any reasonable proof or independent thinking of your own. everything you know about god has been fed into your brain by men and you swallow like a baby.

@ iv4b
the only reason why i used such a strong language is to make you see how offensive and insulting it is to call atheists fools.
Of course, i've read your posts and i fully understood them.
I wish you will understand our point of view too. We just choose to reject all religions for reasons best understood by us. It does not mean christians should call atheists fools.
If you're offended too, accept my apologies and lets be good.
Peace.

Ok.

Follow the creator, not the created? How? Does the creator speak to you directly? He does? That could be schizophrenia. You might want to get checked out.

Lol. But, more seriously - I haven't experienced the creator coming down from heaven to speak to me, and I don't know how many (sane) people who have. Which would lead me to believe that the only thing we pretty much have to go by is the created, and as most have said, they don't make the grade.

And as for following the Bible...again, the Bible did not fall from heaven. It was written by, guess what? THE CREATED. And as we've already established, the created are seriously f*cked. You know what that means, right?

Oh, and I have a few criticisms for your Jesus - why didn't he speak out on sexism and slavery (more appropriately, bondage)? (he did prevent people from stoning an adulteress, so kudos for that. Question though - where was the adulterer? Oh was she having s*x with herself). And the only acknowledged disciples were the male ones? Tsk tsk tsk! What about believing that a kid who clearly had epilepsy (based on a description of the symptoms) was possessed by demons? Tsk tsk tsk again; you'd think the Son of God would know that. And the whole worship me thing - ahhhhhh - kind of points to an ego, doesn't it? (Although some theologists have argued that he didn't portray himself and such; he was labeled as divine after the fact). And don't get me started about the whole hocus pocus concerning his birth - seriously what did Mary's chromosomes pair with?

No, I personally don't think he was perfect; his teachings on morality were awesome though - except they really haven't worked on most people, Christians or not...so...it's a moot point. Most people have a conscience. You don't need the God factor to be a good person. In fact, it sometimes detracts from that.

End of ramble.

Wait, wait, wait. PS: I know what you're thinking. That my mind has been totally messed up by science. Well, I'm okay with that - it frees me to analyze everything. And that is awesome. You should try it.

Atheism is not a religion. It is a theological position.

I agree with you.
I think they think you're possessed by Satan, and that you are a heretic ... just so they can explain to someone like you and I do not believe in the virginity of Mary and so many other things.

Thanks for ignoring the question. I'm not an atheist by the way.
Give me some time. I'll update this post to quote some posts by people who have been positively affected by discussions/threads on nairaland. Some remained Christians. Others became atheists.



Omg you're so laughable.

Atheism isn't a religion you know.
If they don't believe in God, how can they know he is there?

It is easy to create a fairytale with a blameless character. I also don't think one can say that 90% of the wicked people on earth are Christians given that they're less than 40% of the global population. If it were true, then I don't think people would continue being Christians since it is likely that being a Christian may make someone wicked.

I don't think that 99.99% of terrorists are Muslims either unless you wish to define it in some special way.

Atheists make up only about 3% of world population, any smart person shld know that the 3% could not be smarter and wiser than the 97% who believe in some form of God or spiritual realm. It only takes a little bit of common sense to know this.

The world's richest men make up only about 3% of world population, any smart person shld know that the 3% COULD be smarter and wiser AND MORE ADVANCED than the 97% who believe in some form of God, spiritual realm OR OTHER SUPERSTITIOUS BAGGAGE THAT HINDERS DEVELOPMENT.

yea, i see. U are so right.
Jesus should simply have left this God thing and educated the primitive generation about bacteria, viruses, mental health, gynacology, spercial relativity(physic), chem, bio, startistics, automobile, rocket science, higgs bosons, lablace trasform, fourier series, transidential equation, etc,etc,etc, and what have u, smart guy.
Ah! The world world have been a better place today.

Today, human would not have been growing old again, we would not have been falling sick again. Yes! We would not have been DYING again. Great.

The idear thet all sicknesses is as a result of sin, that satan and the demon are the originator is baseless.

Less i 4get, his audience were highly science oriented, he should have explain in terms of bacterial and virus and they would have all been able to relate with it and our ancient perant would have made sens of his teaching in the bible.

He was wrong for seeing the aspect of the demons. The demons are dumb u know? They dont know anything about viruses and genetics and how to possibly use it against humans.
4give him then, since he did not know what he was saying.
How great u are

Meanwhile, cant and have not seen where Jesus said in the bible that he is almighty God.

Who told you that 3% of people cannot be wiser than 97%?
Do you actually think that believing in some God somehow makes you wiser?

Didn't your bible tell you the way to peace and all the enjoyment is narrow? Thats why we atheist aren't that much. Only few are chosen. smiley The way is really narrow.
