Eastactivist: Damn!! Everything boils down to creation. When Adam was created he wasn't deaf nor dumb. He was able to speak and hear God speak.
Even when he ate the fruit of knowledge, yet he was able to hear God(sinful man can hear God just like Saul) but the fruit gave him the free will. He couldn't answer God BC he is ashamed of his unclothedness.
This should tell you something. According to 4everGod
1) we have a witness in the first creation scene to be Adam 2)we have a witness in the second world to be Noah Possibly in the third world another witness(s) will emerge.
What did this witness do? They have two option to preserve their knowledge 1) through oral tradition (telling someone to tell someone and it continues) 2) through writing method(pinning the knowledge down in writing to be handed over to continuous generations)
Should I go further? Now Adam passed down his story to his sons and his sons passed it on to his grandsons to grand grand until it reached to Noah generation(the second world), he continued the trend to Abraham's time and his lineage and to Moses time. Mind you, the book of Genesis was written by moses himself and now that book with other chapters of the Bible has been passed to us to continue the trend.
Isn't this self explanatory? If you doubt this fact, then lets go back to Creation (beginning of life or abiogenesis).
Did Adam tell you all these or your bible did? how the hell did Adam pass down the message to his sons when from the first day to the fifth day, Adam hasn't been created, how did he know of the first day..
And there is this story you guys tell about lucifer the falling angel, did lucifer or god tell you these stories themselves? Why don't you guys just think for a minute, how do people claim to know much about the world without even studying, just like Deepsight's logical assumptions, I guess that was how the Bible came to be, by logical assumptions ...
And it's really a shame that we have adults who believe in the worldwide flood bullshit!
Watch this ridicule of the Noah's useless ark story!
hopefulLandlord: its funny how theists usually pull the Thomas Aquinas argument which in summary is simply using logic of "something must create something" but Aquinas then abandons the logic when it gets to his version of god
its using law of infinite regress, regressing it further and further, then using "god" (whatever version) to terminate the regress
NB: don't be intimidated by these people's memes and jibes
Not once have their senseless assumptions even bordered me, it's really funny reading most of their comments and that's why I still haven't left this thread, because "who wouldn't love to have a good laugh"
DeepSight: Who told you what people were imagining in their heads that far back? You are a deluded waste of space.
Nothing can convince me that you are out of Junior Secondary School yet. Grow up.
Lol, I hate arguing with people with beliefs, because clearly they are lacking at some point in life..
Whatever we don't understand, religious people open their dirty mouths and say "it is god", it is not god you dumb f.ucks! It is what we don't understand yet!!!
KingEbukasBlog: Have you been outside the universe to discover there is no God ?
Now go back and read my illustration of the possibility of a God using marbles...
There is currently no God man knows of! You believe in your god because your religious books told you about him, if you had no access to people who were religious, like living like Mowgley in the "jungle book" movie, who lived with animals, I am 100% certain you won't think of the possibility of a God. .
And someone was busy claiming that even if he lived in a jungle, he would still ask "how did the world come about", when the dumbass have never asked "how did God come about", he just believes that God is eternal and my question is.
have you also been outside the universe to discover that there is God? And how the hell did you know god always existed? Did God tell you this himself? Or did man tell you?
When you start questioning yourself, then I think we'd have a better convo.
DeepSight: Stop being funny and trying to shift the goal post. You boldly stated that there was no religion in eras gone by and that religions only came about when someone began to try to make money by propagating the idea of God.
I then asked you how you know that there was no religion or belief in God and you respond by showing me a link which discusses ancient religion?
Proving you were wrong, not so? So what have Christianity and Islam got to do with this point?
Can you see that you are psychotic and require urgent medical attention?
You asked how I knew that the people of old didn't believe in Gods, and I referred to a link of the first religion (when people started imagining the possibility of a God), which means that before then, they never considered gods and thereby had no beliefs in any god! Now you are the one who is psychotic, since you've always failed to decipher the message am passing, from the part you claimed that "you knew there is God from logic"...
Eastactivist: Why the double standard.. You once told me that God might exist. When I was born and I had the energy to reason and think, I first had this confusion in me, why am I here?, who did this work?, why is the sky hung up there but when I jump I fall to the ground? I saw the birds and i tried to fly but can't fly because I don't have wings but I can fly when I develop a flying carrier or buy an aeroplane. And I feared that these might be a work of some other person elsewhere who orchestrated all this things. Mind you All these questions came spontaneously before I was able to read and understand before then I've always assumed that all these work is not the work of man but some supernatural being who is greater than all these things.
In the actual sense, nobody told me. My local dialect first gave me the semantics to fix the puzzle myself. My native name helped me a lot in this aspect. Then English language came and sealed it. All these occured before I started hearing and understanding what Christianity is or stand for BC I was born in a Christian family.
Is only a deformed mind won't ask this pertinent questions at infantry and is only a deluded mind would discard such questions as something that happened just like that.
"For every effect there most be a cause " Be guided.
Now that is not double standards! I don't know if you guys ever read posts before jumping into meaningless conclusions, I still maintain my stance, as far as I know, there is no God, but IF there is a god(but note, not the ones men claim exists because they are clearly fairy tales ) , does that stop him from existing? Did you read my marble illustration? And I can't tell you of a God I know nothing about, so I don't believe in Gods!!
Now it's funny how you say we don't ask questions, when these questions are exactly what opened our eyes
DeepSight: Mr. Benzilch, which generation are you so aware of that had no religion, please enlighten me.
You also happen to have been there so as to be competent to make the statement - "None of these people thought of a God until some smart ass con dude invented the idea to make money."
Before this religion, people didn't believe in Gods and I don't think I even have the time to start talking about the origin of religion!
This religion never torment people, or abuse little children with the idea of hell, this religion is in fact of your free will.. . But you dumb Christians/Muslims that came years after Hinduism are now telling us your religion is the true religion? Telling us we must follow your religions to be saved? And you still ask why we attack mainly Christianity and Islam?
DeepSight: So this is how you deduce that a person is a Christian?
You see, the question of God's existence is so fundamental that it pops up very naturally even in the minds of little children.
I asked existential questions by the time I was five years old. When told that God created, I demanded to know how come God exists and who created "him". I asked what happens at death. My grandmother angrily forbade me from continuing with these questions.
The point being that these questions and also their answers are very natural to human beings and rest within the heart of every human by default.
Yes. That is exactly how and why even primitive peoples living in the wild developed various religious worldviews and notions of the Almighty.
Lol, do you know there were generations before religion? None of these people thought of a God until some smart ass con dude invented the idea to make money, and here the future generation really uphold to God as if he's real
Eastactivist: I have been trying to convince myself that you ain't dumb has speculated. But this single answer has breached my firewall.
So man created God but remain helpless to be a mortal while the effects of God he assume he created rocks to eternity. Isnt that a foolishness of man? To make man mortal and make God immortal and I ask which man will do that if given the opportunity to create God ?
And do also this too, if man created God a supreme being where did man's life evolve from?
I wanted to leave the post but this stupid is powerful.. . Man created God (the idea of God), not that there is really a God called yahweh, man created God obviously to deceive people, and it seems like it is working..
So get this, there is no God watching over you! And preparing to roast you if you disobey him, man just created that idea to scare people..
So when you hear me say man created God, don't think that man "created a real god" cause as far as we know, there is no God!
I said it earlier in this thread that only those who are religious will see this as something meaningful, I made a huge mistake by not leaving you folks to your ignorance no wonder "don't argue with an idiot, he will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience"..
@deepsight sorry for my assumption earlier, but you spoke like a Christian (running round in circles, without making any point), maybe you were once one or you've lived with them, anyway you claim to know god by logic whereas in truth you "know" him because you were told he exists, that's why I asked you, if you were born and thrown into a jungle and left to grow without guidance, would you still be claiming that BY LOGIC you know there is God?
@anas09 and 4kings why I didn't reply either of you is because am familiar with your attitudes, you make claims and when one counters them, you dodge and disappear like KingEbukasBlog into thin air
Oya, keep jerking off to the posts made by someone who doesn't understand evolution..
EyeHateGod: The loop cannot end if it's infinity..
Am waiting for the guy's response since he claims it's an insult to his program..
Now maybe he has even dodged my question as usual, oya, KingEbukasBlog, come and see the full code incase your head didn't understand that one because you didn't see the statement to consider
var isgod=1; //this means there is a god var god=1; //not relevant though while(isgod > 0) { god++; /*if isgod is set to 1,that means there is God, and this code will continue running till infinity until someone sets isgod to 0 which means there is no God */ } else { document.write("god has seized to exist or he never existed " ;//self explanatory }
I don't even know why am talking about codes in a religion section, well that's what stupid people can make you do
DeepSight: My friend, you cannot so easily revise your words. Your words are there in black and white. I urge you to be careful as I have said: your rabid bid to deny the existence of the Creative Mind that upholds the worlds is leading you to make consistent and overt st.upid statements.
I hope you do not mind if I ask how old you are?
the meaning you read to my words are your problems though.
Just like people could read different meanings to let's eat kids Most will think the writer omitted the comma, and most would think the writer actually meant eating kids.. so how you see things is your problem not mine. Logic indeed! If you never heard of God (like if you were born in a jungle), would you still claim to use your "logics"?? Pfft
Ranchhoddas: Having rained these insults on him, the least you could have done was to give us some examples of scientific facts that were arrived at by logic alone.
DeepSight: Of course: and your every single passing heartbeat is an effect of God.
Oh not much I must confess: only my own existence and the entire world and universe in which I live. But that's quite enough to see.
Any name may be ascribed to that ultimate element which we call God. However, smaller gods of various descriptions abound and I doubt that the very description of the gods you referred to align with the notion that they are the ultimate creators of all that exist .
Going by your logic, that your heartbeat and existence is the proof of a God.
Does that mean that the existence of that God is a proof of a greater god, and does that mean that the existence of that greater god is a proof of a more greater god and the list goes on till infinity, and if you dare stop at a point, that means your logic is invalid...
Just like in programming, while(isgod) {god++;} which means, while there is a god, continue creating gods till infinity, and once the loop stops, that means there is no longer God!
Eastactivist: When Santa Claus becomes boring try use spiderman a little Maybe you can graduate to using America ninja and back to batman not leaving zoro nor hulk and then visiting avatar after transversing using Catwoman
LMAO bro, they are all the same.. fairy tales and myths!
This gentleman's case is far more troubling than one initially suspected. This gentleman is stuck in the deepest morass of ignorance with a peculiar twisted nerve within his brain such that very perverse sorts of thoughts: mangled logic of the most inconceivable forms - proceed therefrom to pollute the world.
Lol.. You might actually think I meant "no scientific fact is logical".. But i actually mean " no scientific fact was made a fact, by sitting in your room and imagining things that are not real, all in the name of logic "...
There you go, just broke it down to a level you MIGHT understand
4everGod: On the contrary! Even you said THERE MIGHT BE A GOD! or have you suddenly suffered from selective amnesia?
Lol and have you forgotten my illustration about a bucket of marbles? THERE MIGHT BE A GOD, and clearly! Humans know nothing about that God! But as far as our knowledge goes, there is no God! It's just like the space, THERE MIGHT BE a part in space where there is gravity, but as far as our knowledge goes! There is no gravity in space!
4everGod: Science has shown you that there is a God being. Leading Physicists and biochemists have declared same. Do you know something they do not?
Who has brainwashed you to say there is no God? Who did that to you?
I have been hearing this for long! How did science prove there is God? Did they see or feel him? Did they experiment on him? If no.. Then those scientists haven't proved sh-it!
randomperson: Another difference... Father Christmas actually gives children gifts, he has something to offer. Your god offers nothing, except the occasional smashing of his people's heads
ambassagod: I am too intelligent to be brainwashed.
I grew up knowing that believing this beautiful world to be a product of chance and not cause and effect, is a black and white faced SELF DISHONESTY, DELUSION, DUMBNESS AND A MEANS OF MASTURBATING WITH FOOLISHNESS. and because of that I believe in the existence of an intelligent Designer- God.
Lol, and you just confirmed your indoctrination, "you grew up knowing"...
Not that " as a grown man who has never heard about god, I suddenly heard him talking to me "
