ooman: ^^^you are using the name of god in vain. hell is your destination

Praise da lord to that too..

can I have a pint of lager while I'm at it too? hehehehe.. We'll both meet in hell and have a cracking party there

Logicboy03: I was talking with a supplier who claimed that Jesus saved his business through prayers and then asked me which church I usually go to (not even whether I'm a christian). Am I going to avoid taking the opportunity to get discounts/favours from the supplier by lying that I'm a christian that goes to the same or a similar church with him?
. Praise tha lord!!!!

Praise da lord again my brother!!!

When the average mentality in Nigeria changes, only then will I bother to argue with anyone why I don't believe in the idea of god.

Until then, if "praise the lord" is gonna get me a bargain, then fck it! praise him

OLAADEGBU: Let me start off by asking you a question on an evidence that is obvious:

Why do we have a 7 day week?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

hence i ignore you

OLAADEGBU: Present your facts to back up your claims don't make emotional assertions without concrete evidence.

you have the balls to say this when your entire post is filled with the same thing..

You're already completely sold on what your believe in. Carry on.

God2man: The news may be fabricated but it is happening, hatred for christians as it has been written in the Bible.

The truth is, Nobody can stop God, i repeat, Nobody can stop God, persecution is like a fuel that will make the fire of revival to continue to burn in those boiling regions. The more you kill christians, the more souls are added to the Kingdom.

It is a matter of time, just wait.

God bless you.

God2man.

keep quiet my friend... na ppl like you make me give up for NL.



Rubbish story. with no valid source. Scaremongering as usual... that's all we seem to like in Nigeria. I think I'm gonna start fabricating junk and see how to make money out of you gullible lots.

hatred for Christians abi? who pack your ancestors inside boat carry go? No be Christians? Or you want to say they are not "true" Christians? when they do it to others, it wasn't "written". na now you wan run mouth....
what else is written in that your bible?

O boy go read your history..

kramer: Apparently this is garbage!! ... Its explained here

http://skepticdetective./2009/09/13/thirty-years-ago-maybe/

only 16 likes for the most sensible person here and 48+ likes for the OP with that garbage of stolen scaremongering material? na waaaa

Naija I hail thee.. Until we learn to question everything we see rather than swallow all the time like eba, e go hard for us to develop oh

Pastor Kun: He has probably repented and renounced atheism. It was/is bound to happen.

LOL!!! and hell has probably frozen over too

dorox: "The wages sin pays is death." That is the bible stand on God's punishment for evildoers.

that's funny, since everyone dies eventually

Or you are talking of spiritual death? or death in the afterlife? for which there is no evidence supporting? Wahala dey oh

Segeggs: the bible doesnt lie! The hebrew word 'sheol' and its greek counterpart 'hades' were both mistranslated to mean 'hell'. God is love and wont torture for all eternity-annihilation will do.

Hebrew is not important here, rather ancient Greek is. so show me your degree in Koine Greek first

una like to interpret things to suit yourselves

they are still advertising?

with the massive backlog of candidates waiting to progress after interview? some as far as May 2011

These guys are not serious at all

lol.. you just found out? grab a beer mate.. its on me

but hang on.. If no hell and the bible tells us there is one, that makes it a blatant lie. If the bible can lie about one thing, how can you believe anything else it says?

vislabraye: With all the miracles that do happen, people still think there's no God. I think people choose what to believe and what not to believe.

Well, would be nice if you point me to one of your so called miracles

davidylan: Welcome to the new church of atheism.

Why not do some research on what it is all about before rushing to score cheap points.

@ topic. Na wa oh, everything is down in London. una dun forget us up here across the border

onyfrank: @ow, am nt intrested in dat video. who fabricated dat video? U, hav u seen dat b4? I dnt want here say.
. Atheist feel insulted and dehumanized when a creationist say dat ppl were created in d image and likness of God, bt u hav no problem with d evolutionist dat claimed dat we all evolved 4rm primodial slime by a random cosmic accident.

So in your case, is it what you would prefer or what the facts can support?

Ihedinobi: Sad story. I'm glad for them that they didn't have to deal with another tragedy.

However, this story typifies the state of many believers who have not fully appreciated the meaning of being in the world and not of it, or using the world and not abusing it. Ordinarily, the parents should have sought medical help immediately. It would not have prevented them from praying. But perhaps a wrong grasp of Scripture was responsinle for their neglecting to do that. As the Scriptures say, my people perish for lack of knowledge.

Finally, it is a real pity that any thinking person should regard God's existence as questionable only on the strength of the reality of tragedies. That is tragic in itself because it suggests that God exists only to prevent or cancel out pain which is a really curious assumption. If God exists at all, it makes all the sense in the world that pain exists because pain tells you that there is something better to reach for. And the word 'better' exists because there is such a thing as the Absolute, the very best in condition, that pain tells you to reach for. 'Better' speaks of graduation towards that best which is God. If God doesn't exist, what is pain?

I'll take only the bolded and elaborate on it how this particular way of thinking was the ignition of me losing my faith in Christianity or any form of organised religion.o

Back in the late part of secondary school and early first year in university in Naija, I used to be in the scripture union. We always had a policy we went by which was fairly simple and made a lot of sense if you don't think profoundly about it.

"Pray like it all depends on prayer, and study like it all depends on studying". This quote clearly contradicts itself but I wouldn't want to go down that line of argument for now. Basically what we are looking at here is two different actions that will give the same result (success in exams) if combined. what it doesn't make clear is the chance that either of the actions may actually be give the same result without the other or fail without the other.

much later when my faith was slipping, I studied for my exams like I always did without any prayer and my results came out at the same average i normally have. I wasn't bold enough to try praying alone without studying but we all know how that would have ended.

I asked myself, If prayer alone will surely fail me in my school but studying alone keeps me going then what was the point of prayer? Quickly my scripture union mindset directed me to the Lords prayer...

"Thy will be done".

This single phrase alone makes every form of "request" prayer pointless and useless. All we needed to do was give thanks and move on. So, in everything we should give thanks. Basically if you lose all your kids to disease and death, all you should to is thank god. This presented another problem to me, "He loves me, will lift me up, will protect me form every evil.....etc".. Why then do people that believe in him with all their heart still have terrible things happen to them? the questions become endless.

Until I began to take an objective view of the word without all that has been indoctrinated in me all my life did I start to see the problems involved in believing in the Christian god particularly. etc...

Before I get carried away with my life and how I lost my faith, I just want to add something to the sad story above. The family got indoctrinated to believe that they can "ask" and it shall be given, "seek" and they shall find, "knock" and the door will be opened, "bind" on earth and it will be bound in heaven.. "where two or three are gathered in his name that he will be present".

With all these, I can clearly see why grown adults will put their infant child's life at risk by uttering gibberish for TWO HOURS rather than running down to a clinic. Sad

I'm not here to tell you whether god does exist or not. I can only encourage you to drop all prejudice and observe all around you with an objective mind. whatever conclusion you come up with is fine, as long as you are deeply honest to yourself.


I for one will tell you the biblical god was made up by men just like us here but a little more ignorant than we are just to control more men like others that are even more ignorant. Is our idea of a "GOD" flawed? I strongly think so.

Resolved.

huh?

Vettel won the race, no doubt his team is pleased. However, he could have caused them both the race so like his team engineer said "you have a lot of explaining to do". Basically, you can only be so lucky. Teams don't need their drivers racing themselves in that way. Hope we don't see that nonsese again from vettel. I hate him anyway, so didn't change much.


As per Mercedes; the team cocked up and gave Hamilton less fuel. If they then let rosberg pass him, it wouldn't be fair for Hamilton seeing how he had been faster than rosberg until they asked him to save fuel.


Webber isn't pleased at all. Rightly so.

Cars to look out!

Mercedes
lotus.

In that order

Omg Lewis!!!!! Wrong garage!!!! Even Nicole saw the funny side

That's the problem.. The genealogy in Matthew and mark go back from Jacob (albeit conflicting). But we all "know" that Jacob isn't the "father" of Jesus. Its easy to put one and two together to figure out that the authors of the bible tried so hard to make sense of what they were writing but failed miserably. Mistake after mistake, confusion after confusion. quite tiring

haba..don't be lazy mate, add your own input. Just don't copy and paste and hope for a conversation. u might as well just paste the link alone

great threads like this don't come very often on NL

wiegraf: Not to say your definition may be wrong, but do you know the purpose of that site?

lol.. nice one

that's even worse than someone quoting Wikipedia

What a shame Ooman. You have to realize something with being a "free" minded person (aka atheist/agnostics). we are exactly that, free to reason for ourselves and make our own conclusion.

It sadly seems you have been trying so hard to pass your own views on to other by force. As an engineer and an atheist, I've studied the second law of thermodynamics extensively. Sadly, a tramp can use that law to prove to you why you need to give him money. The ambiguity allows a lot of gullible minds to misuse it in anyway that suits them.

You quit being an atheist because others refuse to agree with you on a certain topic? How old are you again? have you heard of agree to disagree?

Sam Harris you like so much disagrees on some issues with Dawkins, so with late Hitchens and the list goes on. We all make conclusions with reasonable evidence and common sense available to us. Not because someone says it is so. Isn't that the whole idea of atheism?

So you run around bashing everyone that doesn't agree with you and even denounce atheism to assure yourself that you are in the right? Even the most hated atheist on this website Logicboy (lol) gets along with MrAnnoy IRL although they disagree on plenty fundamental issues.

Stop being a child and man up to reality mate.


My two cents

ooman: Do you know that the entropy of a closed system cannot also increase.

Who says that living systems are closed systems, do you know what a closed system means? Living systems are never closed system hence their death releases their conserved energy.

Can u please state the law of thermodynamics that involves Entropy the way it is generally accepted.
