Martian: Religious people NEED their beliefs to give their lives a meaning. That is why they hold on to it firmly like a drowning man. No matter how ridiculous it looks, there is this big hole in their lives which religion fills. And all other religions are false! Have you noticed how 'miracles' in one religion are viewed with scepticism by adherents of another religion, or even a different strand of the same religion. But if it from the same sect------ Oh!! signs and wonders are happening!!! |

Martian: They don't see the obvious contradiction: This God is suppossed to be omniscient. i.e. he knows everything about you without you even saying it. So he knows you are suffering but he refuses to do anything until you beg him or praise him to high heavens!! Does he have such a low self esteem?? . Or what kind of god would need constant praising before he does anything. Maybe he is not able!! or worse, he may even not exist!!!!!! |

X-Boy: So, you mean it is justifiable then to create imaginary things like hell and heaven to scare people? |
Religion / Re: Question For Xtians by alaper: 9:40pm On Oct 15, 2011 |
I think this holy communion thing is a vestige of a very ancient belief that you can acquire someone's powers by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. There is archeological evidence of this in the mayian civilisation in south America. There was even some sort of it recently during the civil war in Liberia. So, christians subconciously think they are acqiuring some of Jesus's powers by eating his flesh!!!. Another evidence that christianity borrowed from religions that came before it. Shame!!!! |

mantraa: Well said. As at the last count UNESCO has counted four thousand five hundred (4500) gods currently being worshiped all over the world today. Thousands more have become extinct because they have run out of followers. Christianity and Islam have survived and are expanding because they have two things built into their practise: 1. Compulsory evangelism. and 2. Violence against those who don't agree with them, or who want to leave. Perfect combination!! It is the basis of the crusades of old, the inquisitions, and in Islam, Jihad, Fatuahs against ex-believers etc Thank godness we live in a secular country. |

harakiri: And a snake without vocal chords spoke perfect Aramaic!! Abraham's wife got pregnant at 90 I think the miracle in this one is that Abraham could see a 90 year old woman and have an errection!! |

harakiri: It gives one an insight into a unique aspect of human behaviour. Have you noticed that the more irrational a belief is, the more passionate the believer holds on to it? And the more vicious they are in its defence!! They literarily have to recite it to themselves everyday in order to keep their belief. "I believe in one god the father almighty. Maker of heaven and earth. bla bla bla bla" You don't do that if the idea is real. No scientist wakes up in the morning saying "I believe in gravity, and Isaac Newton is its prophet! I believe what goes up must come down! It is only an idea that does not make sense that you have to do that. Another aspect of human behaviour is the vemon they use in the defence of the belief when challenged. It is as if you are hitting a sore point in their being, even if your point is obvious. They may just decide to hate you, abuse you, some may injure you if you are near them. In the extreme, they kill. Christians did it a few centuries ago when they had secular power, muslims are doing it now. You don't see a scientist being that vicious in the defence of his scientific idea!!! But if the idea is a religious belief, people are ready to kill for it. |
Religion / Re: Who Created Cain's Wives? by alaper: 2:41am On Aug 31, 2011 |
I think the obvious fundamental error religious people make is to try and pass the Genesis account as history!! It is obviously not. Look at it this way. It is obviously not an eye witness account. The account is being sold as if there was some 'guardian reporter' around jotting down notes as God was doing his thing At best, Both Gen 1 and Gen2 are just ideas some stone age goat rearers who thought they were smart dreamt up. Maybe they will claim to have been hearing voices or seeing things ( I guess after inhaling smoke from some burning bush! ) Whatever it was, it could not have been an eye witness account, or it will mean there were other people before adam. And who ever wrote it did a poor job of it. I have read analyses which detail more than one thousand errors in Genesis alone!! The Cain wives issue is just one of them. |
Religion / Re: Who Created Cain's Wives? by alaper: 3:32am On Aug 30, 2011 |
It is very interesting when you see christians trying to explain passages in the bible that don't make sense!!! They twist and turn and wooble and still come out more confusing. It is a specialty called apologetics!! It is like a lawyer of Phillip Morris trying to explain that cigarettes are not harmful I feel deep inside them, they know they don't make sense. More puzzles? Cain went and built a city! A city? Populated by who? Do the authors of Genesis know what a city is? |

toba: Everybody was born an atheist!!!!!! It is the indoctrination children get from their parents that turn them into religion. Sometimes the indoctrination descends to the level of child abuse - the koranic school or madrassas, the sunday schools where stone age myths are drummed into the poor child's brain repeatedly until it becomes second nature. Very few are brave enough after that to even challenge the basis of these myths because of the fear built into the faith system. I am happy I have been able to break free of religion. Another note: You don't need to understand evolution to free yourself of religion. |
Religion / Re: What Is The Origin Of Life? (Atheists) by alaper: 11:07pm On Aug 24, 2011 |
sexkillz: Does life have to have a source? OK, the source is the 'holy flying spagetti monster' |
Religion / Re: What Is The Origin Of Life? (Atheists) by alaper: 10:43pm On Aug 24, 2011 |
Religious people are funny!!!!!. It is obvious that the arguement of the poster is that anything we dont understand now must be due to a creator called God They have this mindset that uses god as a default position, so that if you cannot explain everything about anything, that gap in your knowledge must be due to god!!! It is called 'argumentum ignorantum' an arguement from ignorance. Furthermore, asking someone to prove that there is no god is a hollow trick. You cannot prove a negative!! that is a basic law of logic. I guess the poster cannot prove that a flying spagetti monster on planet saturn did not create the world in three days. I challenge him to prove me wrong that the 'holy flying spagetti monster' did not create mankind! The world is waiting I am not holding my breath |

PAGAN 9JA: I bet his heart will be very tasty Do you know that the very ancient custom of eating human flesh and drinking human blood was suppossed to make the cannibal to acquire the powers of the dying or recently dead person. The fresher the flesh, the more the power left in it. That is why some even cut out the heart of a living person, and chew on the beating heart!! . This is thought to be the origin of the "holy communion" ritual that christians do every sunday They however claim they are only pretending to be cannibals. |
Islam for Muslims / Re: Why Is It That Islamic Religion Is Link With Violence And Terror. by alaper: 8:43am On Jul 03, 2011 |
Shio!!! See both religions fighting over who is more violent!! . And quoting from your holy book to excuse or explain away what your faithfull do in the name of your religions is, putting it mildly, laughable! |
Health / Re: Pastor Adeboye Builds N100m Cancer Screening And Prevention Center by alaper: 8:21am On Jul 03, 2011 |
When the catholic church came into Nigeria in those days, they were building schools, hospitals, etc, quitely, without fanfare, heavily subsidised institutions, to help the poor in the communities where they were established. Nobody was giving credit to the pope . But what have we got here? New age GO's being given credit and praised to high heavens for any token their church does. And many times, these are business outfits, whose charges are many times more than secular or pagan ones!! The Topic itself says it all. "Pastor Adeboye builds bla bla bla bla, " Its only later, that we now hear that its only a small branch of the church that is responsible. . My local Rotary club has done better, quitely, We built an artificial limb factory, making artificial limbs FREE OF CHARGE to amputees. The District Governor did not take credit. |

Islam for Muslims / Re: Why Is It That Islamic Religion Is Link With Violence And Terror. by alaper: 3:53am On Jun 23, 2011 |
PAGAN 9JA: divinereal: You are quite correct. But maybe that is why those religions remain in the fringes, and may soon die out. Only the violent ones are expanding. I have also noticed that the violent religions are those that have it as part of their tenets a duty to convert others. This goes hand in hand with the belief that those who dont convert are evil and destined for hell! This makes it easy for them to rationalise killing people with other beliefs. |

Islam for Muslims / Re: Why Is It That Islamic Religion Is Link With Violence And Terror. by alaper: 9:51pm On Jun 21, 2011 |
Thank Goodness for the internet. I am out of reach!! These "true believers" would would have used violence on me The christians would have burnt me at stake, and the muslims would use suicide bombs You can even feel the venom in their posts. Habaaaaaa!!!!! Has anybody noticed that the more irrational the belief, the more angry the believer is when challenged A yoruba proverb says "You don't count the fingers of a nine- finger man in his presence" He is likely to become violent!! Counting the fingers, though correct, hits a sore point in his sensibilities. Maybe we are too down to earth in our challenges We may have disabled people around. Up Yahweh!!! |

Will the service be free, or is it just another business venture? We have it already in religious schools and universities that are more expensive than secular private ones. |
