This is lacking in depth and coherence, as far as the subject matter is concerned. You all need not roast, in the delusional flame of servantEbukaBlog.

Atheist simply says, do you have evidence for your faulty claims? Y'all go spewing irrelevant stuffs.

Why then do you get upset when others choose other paths, seeing as you have made your own choice?

Upset? There's nothing wrong in becoming upset for a while because I'm human but please, when did I get upset?

I only remember discouraging myself from encouraging someone to insulting my God continuously. It would be soo foolish of me to give someone a reason to continously insult my God when discussing with him so I tried cutting short the conversation.

But I apologize if I offended you in anyway. Dear you've not given me any reason to be upset with you. And believe me, you won't see my write ups as upsetting at all if you translate them to pidgin English grin

Sorry dear

MONEYJOEE:
Have you also fallen for the religious apologists lies and skews of who an atheist is? That's one of their desperate and dishonest moves to reduce our numbers.

If you understand the true meaning of atheism, there's a possibility that you're one of em. Most people are atheist but they don't know this because they've been lied to on who an atheist is. You see them saying stupid shite like "I'm not an atheist, I'm agnostic." Of course knuckleheads we are all agnostics, both theists and atheists. We can never know for sure if there's a god. Whoever claims to know for sure that there is (or there is not) a god is an arrogant and ignorant fool.

it seems we're all fools except the atheists grin

Need I advice no need looking for evidence from fools since the rest are all fools. You need not search or argue for evidence. Because searching for evidence means you want to dive into theism or to the other extreme of fools grin

Atheism in the broader sense is simply a lack of belief in god(s).
An atheist is someone who lack a belief in all gods. The person must not necessarily claim that there's no god. Even Richard Dawkins wouldn't say there's no god. An atheist is that guy that's simply saying "I don't believe you until you show me evidence for your god's existence." Contrary to the lies you've been fed, atheist don't actually make any claims. I don't know why this is too hard for some demented lying religious shitbags.

I wonder why religious knotheads thinks they're in the position to define who we are.

Now that you've been told agnosticism isn't a middle ground between theism and atheism, you should answer this question to know where you belong. The question is not if you know if there's a god rather it's: Do you believe in any god?

If your answer is NO, you're an atheist. Very simple.

This makes sense, now I know why they're against God grin

Atheism isn't lack of belief in the existence of God but lack of belief in all gods. It means if gods exist, they just don't believe in them till they're sure. Then they should stop acting as though they know and they know and they know that there are no gods.

Onyenze123, what's your stand.

Jonbellion it means you're an atheist.

4kings where do you stand here.

It seems Martinez19 has realized he is an atheist.

Ranchhoddas bring yourself here and come to the self realization of who you are.

Need I remind everyone that the post I quoted says if you arrogantly say there's no god then you're a fool lipsrsealed

Sorry, it applies to theists too lipsrsealed

What can be more delightful than self deceit, ignorance and delusions.

Wow! you claim you are under the protection of Yahweh, but in the face of obvious proofs that Yahweh worshippers enjoy no benefit special from any other person, you begin to create excuses for him again and speak of an afterlife.

Let me expand your thinking, if while you are alive, you cannot see the undoubtedly evidences of Yahweh's protection in your life, then what guaranty do you have for of an afterlife you have never been.
is that not too much foolishness...All I ask is for you to think outside the box, can that guy be trusted??

Delusions can be sweet, nothing is more precious dan fantasies of gold plated streets and you twerking your ass all the days of your eternity to the white bearded Jew master living in the sky.

is this you? You mean you can write beautifully like this without insulting my ego? grin

bravo dear

I must confess, the bolded is funny but it's my ass not yours so leave it for the master grin

And talking about protection, God has protected me on several occasions that makes no sense but I also know some unbelievers have that unique grace of protection from God too. And only God knows why it's like that.

If nature can shower both the good and bad with its beauty, who am I to say the righteous are more favored on earth than the unrighteous.
But there's one thing I'm very sure of, there's a difference between a God fearing person and the one who isn't. When you stay with such a person, you who isn't a believer can tell the real difference if you're truthful. That's my personal belief

What I can say here is I trust God even through the bad times, even when He seem far away, even when it seem it's difficult for me to pray, the person within me just can't let go. The real me within is so connected that the flesh can't do whatever it wills. God comes around for me and for all those times it seems He never came around, He will definitely come around and I will understand Him better then.

But I'm going nowhere without Him dear cos I know His value in my life.

I don't like this Bennyann at all.

First, it is absurd to compare the laws of a democracy to the laws of the biblical God. In a democracy, everyone, including you and I is part of the law making process. We do this by electing our senators and house members. In fact, anyone can aspire to these positions if they so desire.

This is not so for the God you are trying to sell to us who clearly operates an autocracy.

People get angry at your God because you and your ilk say that He can solve all the world's problems with a snap of His fingers but refuses until His outrageous demands are met. Even when people try to meet these demands, He still disappoints them.

It's like Dangote telling a roadside beggar to lick his shoes before giving him money for food, and failing to give him the money when he eventually does it.

If na you you no go question am?

I'm sorry you don't like it dear. But even if I were to be an atheist, the op's question is still something to ponder on.

If humans need rules to guide them, is it God that shouldn't give rules?

I'm not saying we can't question God or we shouldn't but who really are we to? His autocracy is his default style because He is God. He also has a democratic style so you can reason with Him like Abraham did in the Bible grin

.

Why should this question make my atheistic friends unstable lipsrsealed

it is a question that shows if we all come to know that there's one true God, then who are we to question Him. We can only make noise here all day or better still reject Him as God but that doesn't change and can't change His status.

And Dear, I do question Him. angry

but I don't plan on leaving Him

Ranchhoddas:
What?

Seriously?

Have you been drinking?

You're the one I've been drinking. Can't you see?

God doesn't threaten anyone, He only gives Commandments. He gives rules and principles to follow. If you call all those threats, then do we call the country's constitution threat? We're in a democratic society, yet there are laid down rules governing us and we must follow it.

Must I concentrate on the murder and the other evil the one I quoted analyzed before you admit I'm not drunk?

How come when it comes to the God issue, you all behave as though you're in a righteousness competition with Him. You all only remember others are sick and poor because it concerns God. Do you love them more than the creator?

If you are not ready to go by the rules of a certain society, then why would you blame the ruler in that particular society for the consequences you find yourself in the other society of your choice?

I will repeat this again, if you claim God is evil, what can you do about it, if he is? I mean, what could you have done to free yourself from Him?

This is a question that's causing comprehension issues here. If the one who has all the power over you, is evil as you guys claim, what then can you do about it? Ah!

I'm so grateful and so thankful that our creator is a compassionate God, patient, loving and He doesn't misuse His power.

I can't say more than this because I do not know if I can explain better than this.

Christianity Etc › Re: Believing Pastors Is Dangerous To Your Health by bennyann: 9:29am On Jul 17, 2017

I'm sure what we all learnt here is to seek medical care as quickly as possible. We shouldn't neglect that.

In as much as I don't support believing in pastors but God, you shouldn't tell anyone their God can't heal them.

Your advise is enough.
True, most of us perish for lack of knowledge and you've given an insight to reduce that. But please, leave the mockery of God out of it.

We've had believers telling us to seek medical care, so don't think no one in theism know what to do when it comes to that. It doesn't stop us from believing in God neither does it stop God from performing miracles.

Even the health system is God's design, stop sounding as if atheists own or originated them.

You who have been under the care of Yahweh, how you have lived a better life than those not under his protection. ?
Many Yahweh worshippers die of cancer, plane crash, diseases, fire accidents, gun shots etc
Many worshippers die while worshipping
Many die of hunger and starvation
Many are uemployed and starving in poverty.
Good things and unfortunate things can happen tp anyone irrespective of your beliefs...

lemme ask you, you will die someday and I'll die too. so do you think you will die a better death? Do you know how you gonna die??

Your Yahweh is useless

First of all I'm not afraid of death. Anyhow it comes I don't care and as Christians we believe and know that death is not the end of life.

The way one dies is not as important as the afterlife. Abi you dey do death competition again?

God knows how to take care of His children. Those who love Him nd are going through tough times understand their journey. You don't love them more than God.

You can have a better life than me, I'm not bothered. Mine is to live for God, live a peaceful life and do the will of my father in heaven. Infact, enjoy everything you see in this world.

One thing I know for sure, is that anyone who stand for God and are never shaken, there is no one who will mock them and wouldn't be ashamed eventually. When you mock such people, they come out stronger and you would regret mocking them.

The Bible never said good things will happen to only believers. Infact it was even said in the Bible that the unbelievers enjoy more because the Lord is patient with them. As Christians, we are not afraid of tough times, it is part of our training so no need comparing. In this world, we do not compare our lives with unbelievers but with what the word of God says.

You've become too logical that you do not even know when you've started comparing and competing with different types of death.

You who know how to define love but can't seem to respect the God your friends worship even when you don't believe in Him. It's even possible your parents are believers in Christ and you are here insulting their God.

You're so logical that you saw not even a single good thing in the person of Jesus. You have issues, serious ones.

I do not think I would reply you here again if you do not respect my God, maybe on another thread then.

Once again, good night to you. One who is lazy to reciprocate love but yearns to enjoy the same love.

can someone command you to love someone...?

Why should you threaten someone with bad consequences if he does not love you back.

And I am no longer under his protection because I dont believe he exists?

How immature is your supposed god? Your god is a contradiction.

How is it a rejection that I question his existence, I can only reject what I know and believe...Then the best way he knows is to spring up to me on the last day and say "hey boy, got you..I am real, well your chance to believe I exist is over, you are now damned to hell"

Can you see the absurdity of your own very comments.?

What is the usefunless of your god if not to boast of his all powerfulness and then commands me to worship him for it....Do you rly know the definition of love

Conversing with a religious folk is like talking to a robot, they have been programmed in a dogmatic manner...

I wouldn't know the definition of love from your write up until you show it to me. And I'm not sure your definition goes beyond that of Jesus'.

If you can't show me love here, how would I know your definition? And don't forget I'm dogmatic because I'm a Christian.

Anyway, the one who doesn't want to reciprocate love but wants to enjoy it, I say goodnight o

I'm sorry to say this, your logical reasoning ability should be questioned..

In the analogy I gave above, that shouldn't even apply to a wife, son, daughter....not even a slave. Anyway your god is a god of slavery

It would be questioned by you since you're the intelligent one of course but from your comment below

Then I promise her if she remain faithful, I will be responsible for all the good things in her life which she must praise me for...

Plus I give her ten commandments she must do...I love her so much so she must worship me all the days of her life, she must never mess with my name otherwise I'll arrange to beat her without mercy but I love her so much and it's out of free gift to her...

It means if you're faithful, committed to God, He would be responsible for you. But since you decided not to be for Him, then you're no longer under His care as He would have loved.

He is God who has shown you His ways and has made you to understand it is when you do His commands, that's when your love for him is revealed. And His command, is for you to love Him with everything you've got and also love your neighbor as yourself. Is that too much to ask?

I don't understand how you decided to rebel against God and still expect to get the same result as though you love Him. What would now be the difference between those who love Him and you who don't.

Everything has a reward. And you don't blame someone else for your decisions.

It's like you're angry with God because He said there would be bad consequences for you if you don't follow Him and that alone makes you rebel.

That's the truth! There would be consequences for unfaithfulness and that is as a result of your decision and that's because you are no more under his protection so the next available spirit being will take over especially if you've sold your soul to him. You've closed your door against God, you've rejected Him and even sent Him out of your life. Now the one who doesn't own you eventually have you in his claws and he can't wait to make you go through all the consequences God revealed to you.

How can that be the fault of your creator who has shown you the path to follow? He told you to choose life but you're annoyed with him, calling him evil because He gave you conditions. And what's the condition, to love Him.

Why should that be an issue to you? Everywhere you find yourself, there are rules and principles to follow and if you are too big for those, I think you've found a position that fits that and that's where you are now. But it would be a pity, if in reality, you go by rules of the system of this world.

I myself can't force myself on one who rejects me so I still don't understand why you guys think you understand love and how it works than the one who created it. Can two work together except they agree?

It's interesting to know thay you have nothing to say in defence of your Jewish monster.

Christians and lame analogies, well lemme help you ridicule your analogy more...

I find a girl and tell her I love her, she can choose to love me back out of freewill but if she does not love me back, I will threaten her will rape and murder. Her life will become miserable. Note, I met this girl on social network and we have never met before.

Then I promise her if she remain faithful, I will be responsible for all the good things in her life which she must praise me for...

Plus I give her ten commandments she must do...I love her so much so she must worship me all the days of her life, she must never mess with my name otherwise I'll arrange to beat her without mercy but I love her so much and it's out of free gift to her...

If this does not make sense to you, then why does your fvking religion make sense....

I am fine with the people in my life who I can see and communicate with, they may not be all loving, all caring nor all powerful but they are the real gods I adore. The people who out of their limitations will give their very best to me. We may sometimes hurt one another, yet we cant do without the other.
That is oKay with me, I dont need a god who who claims to be all powerful, all merciful, all loving but all useless..
enjoy your little monster

You're talking about a random girl and not a wife. You don't own her, let her live her life.

God owns you but if you don't want to reciprocate the love, fine. You've chosen your path.

That leads us to the question, who are you to question Him? You want to dictate for Him but you've not even made us know if you're qualified to tell Him how to be God.

Yes sir, as his follower. Even the Israelite had an idea of where God was leading them to before they got there, Joseph had an idea of how bright his future would be, Samuel knew the step God wanted him to take and he yielded. Moses had an idea of how his journey would be like.

We all can communicate with God however way we want but it should be with a humble spirit and a contrite heart and not with a proud heart or with an ulterior motive.

Because no matter how smart we think we are, we can't equal Him. He will always have the final say and do whatever He pleases and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

His followers, His children should know how to access His heart. He gave us the right to be called sons of God.
