You should also tell your intending immigrant friends that a cup of express instant coffee cost almost 3000 naira in America while it's just 100~200 naira in Nigeria

so what? How many people can afford 200naira coffee in Nigeria? I bet not much because like 99% are on a tight as fück budget.

In America they're more jobs and buying stuff isn't as scary because you only need to work harder or get a second job to buy what you want.

And shall we talk about minimum wage?

Still not a level playing field if you ask me.

Don't bother yourself about what pastors say about Him

You mean don't bother yourself about what the BIBLE says about him... Because I have only quoted the Bible here and not any pastor.

Maximus69:
Cursing a tree, saying adherents must love him more than their blood relations!

Obviously you're just joking my guy, nobody is on your throat so if you're ready to learn from the true Christians just signal to me and know why Jesus is the perfect leader of all times!

Acting self-righteous and egoistic is how you get ignored on MY posts. Can you honestly fück off?

Dtruthspeaker:

Shall yam and lion walk together? Or shall you eat thy food sitting in a dustbin? Or shall you live in your house with a brawling woman? Shall you sit comfortably in your mechanics workshop wearing thy suit?

Clean people love clean people not dirty-filthy persons, unless they are dirty-filthy Persons themselves.

So also, a Righteous man Must Hate People who Love to do Wickedness

That is what Christ was letting us know.

Thank you for admitting that your family are dirty filthy people who love to do wickedness and therefore deserve to be hated before you follow Jesus.

For saner people, we don't think that of our family and won't love them less for a deranged likely-fictional Nazarene from the middle east.

lol, just say you are not looking for answers, you just wanna push forward your opinion.
Jesus cursed the fig tree to symbolize the temples' fall.
What is Cultic about people holding firm to a course and dying for it.
Are freedom fighters also cultists?

My opinion when the Bible verse is there for all to see?

Care to tell what's symbolic about hating your entire family before you can accept Jesus?

//What is cultic about people holding firm to a course and dying for it//

Wow! Easy to say when you're not the one dying. Suddenly you don't have a problem with people dying for their beliefs but you likely loathe Jihadists. Hypocrite much?

Freedom fighters are technically cultists. A cult is not necessarily bad. But asking people to hate their family and possibly dying before joining the cause is radical, over the line and outright fascistic.

If you can't see this, sorry, I can't help you..

Dtruthspeaker:
.



And that is why we go to Him for

That's why you go to a man that asks you to hate your entire family more before you can follow him.

Says it all really...

Dtruthspeaker:
People offend or even Insult you, did you stay silent?

They wrongly accused you, would you be at peace and speak scantily?

If someone attempts to puts his hand around your neck, shall you not kill?

What Jesus commanded has nothing to do with self defense. Off-topic.

Daejoyoung:
Cursing of the fig tree in those days by a prophet was understood as a prophetic action against Israel the vineyard of God, you can read Jeremiah and those prophetic books to understand better.
Jesus cursed the fig tree and immediately prophesied against the temple. It was a symbolic action that the temple ( and the religious leadership of Isreal) no longer bore fruits and would fall.

Well, jesus statement against family is harsh but it is what it is. Christianity is not easy, and the disciples lost their lives for it, their families would obviously not have wanted that.

So you mean looking for figs off season and them cursing the trees forever for not bearing fruits was a routine practice by prophets in the bible...hmm..

I agree with you, Jesus statement is not only harsh but has some key ingredients of a cult mentality in it. If he was truly as good as Christians say, he would not utter such statements.

It is not just what it is, with that verse Jesus is not any different from warlord Mohammed or a KKK leader or even the leader of a local university cult in Nigeria.

Christians usually portray a meek, tolerant and accomodating image of a key figure of their religion, Jesus.

It would seem like this man that supposedly walked the earth some 2,000 years ago is the most blameless, sinless and perfect human to ever exist.

However, past experiences have shown that in religion, things are never how the followers claim it to be (Islam as a religion of peace comes to mind).

Looking more closely and HONESTLY at the life and the utterances of this Jesus, we find some truly terrifying and horrible teachings which would not be expected from such immaculate personality.

First, we all know that certain trees only bear fruit at certain times of the year, when it is favorable for them and their seeds. And absolutely nothing can make them do otherwise.

But surprisingly, Jesus cursed a fig tree for not bearing fruits off season because he was hungry in Matthew 21. It is kinda unexpected from a selfless, compassionate person to curse a tree that was unable to bear fruit in an unfavorable season.

Secondly, The teachings of Jesus in Matthew 10 34- 37 leave a lot to be desired. Asking people to love their families less for following you is a teaching that can only be found in the world's most dangerous cults. It is baffling and totally discrediting of a truly unique loving figure to utter these things and claim his followers abide by them.

What are your thoughts? Do you think Jesus is the most perfect human to ever exist even after these obvious and dangerous flaws? Or do you think it's just a case of usual dishonest cherrypicking where Christians disregard contradictimg parts of their book and just believe a particular narrative anyway?

Pelecius:
Alright, it's an assumption on your part to say he doesn't understand evolution. That is an approach that evolutionist do resort to at times. I noticed that defenders have been attacking him (adhominem) rather than refuting what he said.
I'm still waiting for someone who will refute his argument that what was shown in the article is just adaptation and not evolution in it's real sense.
I would love that the person gives us what evolution (General their of Evolution) is and not use the old switch and bait tactics

I bet a rat's ass you have no idea about evolution too. But for the sake of discussion, can you define what you understand by evolution?

juniorstar:
before reading this post. can mosquito bite a dead person?

Mosquitoes feed on blood. So if the dead person is fresh and still has blood flowing in the vessels, yes. Although body heat helps mosquitoes locate humans so it might be a little harder to detect a colder dead body.

butterfly777:
The title of this article is misleading.

Some people try different strategies to make evolution appear real. Many people have seen beyond reasonable fact that evolution is not true. That is why it is an assumption, an intelligent guess. No evidence or experiment to support it.

I did not see any evolution in the story. What I see is adaptation.

Your inability to understand evolution isn't a valid argument against it.

There was a thread were some gays were arrested by the shariah police,and they were to be rehabilitated. These same xtians were unhappy because they won't be executed.
That won't have been human rights violation to you guys huh ?
You don't get to dictate to us based on your whims.
The punishment is death!
Take it or leave it

Are you fùcked in the head? So because some equally deluded Christians think it is okay to kill people for victimless crimes like homosexuality and blasphemy you think it is okay too?

How old are you? 5? Lmao take it or leave it? I'll tell you what? We'll leave Islam.

Your religion is a death cult that does not belong in a sane society. Intolerance would be the sole reason why Islam will meet its inevitable death. Wait for it. It's coming.

The word of God doesn't always work for christian, really. The only time the word of God won't work a Christian is when it is not applied with faith. The word of God works for any body. A non Christian can say the word of God into any situation and it will work for her.

//The only time the word of God won't work...//

Congratulations. You just agreed with me that the word of god won't always work with a Christian.

//The word of god works for any body...//
Mmm...okay, I agree... and FAILS for any body too. If a strong Christian can't get it right all the time. You think a non-christian would? Of course not.

So again, you agree with me that this word of god thing works at the rate of CHANCE...

Like a coin flip. Being a chronic gambler or a first time player does not at all impact your chance of getting a head or a tail. So being a Christian or a "sinner" or Buddhist does not impact your chances of the word of god working for you.

The word of God doesn't even always work for Christians. How much more someone who's not a Christian?

The probability that a "word of faith" works for the strongest Christian in the world (imagine there's there's a list ) isn't any different from that of getting a head in a coin toss.

Talk less of a so-called non-christian who is hell bound? What are the odds?

That Islam is a Religion of peace is the most laughable and perhaps the world's most ironic statement.

Christians can never agree on the same thing. Yet they serve a god who is allegedly not an author of confusion. Lmao

The same god that dwells in everyone especially believers? Hmm. ...

I understand your need to want to move closer to god. If I was god, I would run from your ignorant religious ass too.

Ghostrye:
Sometimes I allude it to a programmer making a sim game on his laptop, but when I say it everybody else thinks I'm either crazy or lacking faith

It's not entirely implausible that we are living in a simulation. But yeah so what? Where's the evidence? What would change?

Faith is the excuse people give when they have no good reason to believe something.

Hugh the numerously debunked watchmaker arguement again. *eye roll*

Nice thread.

shekauvsbuhari:
Truth is that the founders of America were people tha believed in God(yahweh) and practised what was very close to true christianity. The constitution of the country would show you tenets of Christianity which are love, equality, charity, freedom, human rights etc. Their foudation was on God. Forget what is called christianity in today's nigeria or Africa tailored towards scamming folks and destroying productive capacity of individuals by giving them fake hopes of miracle prosperity. Fake version of christianity over here emboldens atheists. True Christianity is not averse to Science and God does not disapprove of science. The book of Luke in de bible was written by a greek medical doctor who accompanied paul in his missionary journeys and was their group's physician. In attempt to scam people over here, some preachers downplay science and harp more on miracles in order to make people believe in them. But the American founders focused on science as wisdom that God has given man to solve his problems. However in life, with time things begin to wane. Just like after a man's death the children begin to drift away from his footprints and style, some of today's americans are gradually drawing away from the ways of their founding fathers. That is life anyway.

The tenets of Christianity are not love, equality, charity, freedom or human rights. Please don't straw man me.

The US Constitution as laid down by the "perfect founding fathers" was pro-slavery. The Thirteenth Amendment (THIRTEENTH) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude. That alone blows your entire argument out of the water.

A religion that asks women to shut up and are not worthy to air their own opinions in the church has nothing to do with equality.

A religion that endorses slavery in its very early (supposedly more pristine stages) has nothing to do with freedom, love or charity.

Again, please don't straw man me.

Jesus Christ my Master, Lord and Savior!!! see wetin person wey think say him sabi something dey answer. God means Gold Oil and Diamond. Abeg my Belle oh, make you no kill me with laugh, you don win. I no do again lol! Wow! Even an ignorant little child no go fit give this kind monumentally senseless answer. Kai very wonderful. Nothing again wey person no go hear for this world. God means Gold oil and diamond for person wey dey lick the butt of science. Okay oh

Clearly I was expecting too much from you when I thought you would understand my post. Lemme dumb it down a little further for your single digit IQ brain.

The dollar was always based on the gold standard. That was only changed a few years ago. Nothing motivates the American government to action than oil. As can be seen in the middle east with Iraq, Iran and US romance with other oil rich countries. Diamond is an equally valuable asset to the Americans in terms of what we call fiat money.

When Americans print "in God we trust" on their actual currency. A lot of interpretations can be made from it. As the quote wasn't even the original statement on the greenback. It is therefore not far reaching to claim the term god could very well mean these precious metals. But what would I expect from someone who thinks a quote on the dollar proved his god exists?

It would be flattery to even say you have the intelligence of a 5-year old. Please stick to believing in the god myth and humping your buybull . You are obviously too dumb to be left alone to start thinking for yourself.

"In God we trust" is different from "in Yahweh we trust."

The first statement leaves the Idea of God more open to interpretation while the second one refers to a more specific deity.

What you're doing is quoting a vague statement and then inserting YOUR own idea of the word to mean what YOU think it should mean. And using it potentially as evidence for a god you have not shown to exist in the first place. That is a fatally foolish manner of reasoning typical of believers who are grabbing at every straw to prove their imaginary friends.

The original owners of the quote don't give two shots about Yahweh.

GOD = Gold, Oil and Diamond. So quit the buttlicking and start providing some real evidence for your magical sky daddy in the cosmos.

Religious myths give people the perfect excuses to commit the greatest evil towards their fellow men.

delkuf:
prayer is a gamble. So what will someone that lose huge amount do

Accept you were wrong. Count your losses and move on. No point crying over spilt milk is there?

Prayer...is like gambling. You only talk about your wins not your losses.

IamMichael:
He lacks the logical reasoning to understand you are expressing your thoughts through sarcasm.

He cannot understand what you are saying, and his next post quoting you have buttressed this fact.

He is still thinking his god is the number one and the real one... just like thousands of other religious adherents. This simple fact that their god is just one out of the many imaginary god's eludes him.

Don't bother replying him, he will only waste your time!

Haha ikr he's honestly one of the most devoted Christian apologists on this forum nowadays.

When I debate these guys I don't do it for the sake of it. I do it because of readers, in now and in future, who are looking for answers and are perhaps sitting on the fence.

That way I think it's much more easier to keep sane while discussing people who think fairytales are true even in the face of contradicting evidence.

shadeyinka:

It takes a depraved to exhibit such foolishness like this and
Your lack of the Light has made you blind even towards the definition of your "religion" Atheism

Man made God is a kind of god. Atheism is not defined by WORSHIP but by a DISBELIEF in the existence of god's.

How can one serve or worship that which doesn't even exist?
Deu 11:16:
"Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;"

Somehow you avoided the Islam phrase despite claiming Muslims acknowledge the existence of other gods. Lmao..mental gymnastics coach.

And you think I'm depraved yet you think man-made gods are actual gods. Lol..so by your non-depraved standards, a god created by man himself is worthy of belief, let alone worship?
