Russia is a backwards country. Have you seen any Nigerian going there and coming back successful?

Purpose is the reason something or someone was designed or created.]
I disagree with your "designed or created", but however, admit that a person without a purpose flounders in the wind.

[quote author=pressplay411 post=67264850]Atheism doesn't provide this answer.

pressplay411:
To answer your question. What is the purpose of man?
It is summed up in 2 verses in the Bible.

Gen.1.28 - Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

pressplay411:
Matt.6.33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

pressplay411:
Yet, instead of repenting and returning to our Eden, God's presence, we turn further away resorting to dependence on drugs and alcohol which only postpone doomsday.

pressplay411:
All He asks is you believe on Him, acknowledge Him and all His promises and purpose for your life will be fulfilled.

No, atheists don't go about killing people. Bad people do. Don't misunderstand me, humanity have murderous tendencies that must be kept in check by law and order.

I couldn't agree with you less.


I don't know, I'll have to do a research on that. However I do know that Adolf Hitler is always regarded as a Christian even though his worldview later in life seemed anti Christian, which probably influenced his actions.

In June 1941, Hitler ordered an invasion of the Soviet Union. And on 12th July, 1941, he gave the following quote

"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together....
"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity....
"Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things." (p 6 & 7)

On 10th October, 1941, he said:

"Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure." (p 43)

on 14th October, 1941, he said

"The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity....
"Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse....
"...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little....
"Christianity is the liar....
"We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State." (p 49-52) Hitlers' Table Talks.


On October 19th, 1941
"The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges, the pox and christianity"- Table talks"

December 13th of the same year, he said "When all is said and done, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunized against the disease."

Hitler had a terrible mentality and ideology later on in his life, and this led to the murder of about 12,000,000 people.

I'll try to do a compilation of other mass murderers who claimed to be christian, but for now, I'm not aware of any brutal misdeed of " Christianity", surpassing the Spanish inquisition and the crusades

Lol don't bet, stay with me, ill give you proof as far as I can get, on atheists that killed because they didn't believe in God.

I was expecting something more concrete evidence on Christianity and violence. But thanks, Instead, I learnt much more about Christianity's opposition to violence on the same wikipedia site you posted.

OranmiyanOdede:
Shhh

The Christian premise is that the Bible is the perfect word of God, if you state that the words of Jesus (the particular verse that in Quoted) are false, that implies that you believe that the Bible is wrong to some extent, making the you not... well... Christian

psychonaut13:
GOD. The enegry, the consciousness of the universe. We are all divine. We are the gods. Immensely powerful,infinite spiritual beings having temporary human experience.

OranmiyanOdede:
Are you saying the Bible is lying?

I am very aware that god was created by man to explain the unexplainable. My intention is to engage in spirited discussion about any and all ideas

If there was no God, there will be no atheists.

This is your opinion and nothing more.

However on request, I can give you sufficient examples of atheists of our generations, comitting violence simply because they don't believe in God.

Relax. Try to be coherent.

etrange:
Brother, there's nothing like "their leader". Atheists do not have a leader. Atheism do not need any leadership/follwership life pattern. If one person decides to ridicule people, it's his business. If one sticks around with abusive, inconsiderate and cold hearted friends, let him not blame it on atheism; he should change his friends.

In case you don't get my point yet, I am saying it's much easier to find common traits in theists than in atheists. This is apparently because typical theists normally share common teachings. They usually have a common master whom they strive to emulate giving rise to them exhibiting certain similar characteristics. Atheists, on the other hand, are free individuals with little to no peculiar life style. What each person exhibits is usually a function of his/her personality and has nothing to do with atheism.

The word-use research could be true though. In fact, it makes perfect sense that members of a Facebook church group shoulshould be using words like church, brother, sister, prayer, etc. What else would one be expecting? Atheists are freerer with words on social media as no "brother" or "sister" is there to police them. Most of them may or may not use these words at their work places just like most theists may use dirtier words outside their religious groups online. But then, these do not prove anything and do not in any way suggest atheists are angry people.

Atheists like to argue. They feel they have superior points and find it easy and funny pointing out the flaws of religion. Theists like to argue, they feel they have seen the light. They feel it's their job to convert you. They say heavenly stuffs are like foolishness to the mundane mind so they look at the atheists with pity. Lol. The only difference is that theists don't see it as argument. To them, they are doing the work of converting soules. They don't feel bad calling you "blind" or "lost soul" or "ignorant". But then this, to you, is not ridiculing of course. Point here is, it's difficult to be a judge and a partisan at the same time.

There are many stuffs I could say against atheists but calling them angry people is not one of them. Some times, they even refrain from telling you their religious stance just not to make you angry. Lol. They are very welcoming and open minded individuals, I'd say. When next you want to know who's more angry and hate-filled between theists and atheists, keep in mind that ISIS, Boko-haram, etc. are not atheists. Also recall that those that burnt the gay guys caught in the East in the name of "our religion is against it" are not atheists. Nigeria is a country made of more than 90% theists and what's the outcome? Intolerance, outright hatred, killings and all sorts of unspeakable things against one another all in the name of religion. And yet atheists are the one supposedly filled with anger and hate. I don't know..... bro, it just doesn't add up.

Nice write-up though. Keep the good work.

Watch and see how Nairaland's atheist community swarms this thread. They only come alive when there's a Christian thread to attack.

I have always alleged that majority of atheists I've come across are bitter, angry and condescending, while I've interacted with a few cool headed atheists, I've seen really bitter atheists, and unfortunately, they seem to be the majority.

not sign posting me to a wikipedia link to ferret them out of it

hopefulLandlord:
Christians should be very watchful of their utterances against this Man of Yahweh as Yahweh works in mysterious ways and his wisdom looks like foolishness unto man

Yahweh once told the Israelites to kill all midianites but keep young virgin girls as war booty. This sounds wrong to us but whatever Yahweh commands is wise even if it looks wrong in our limited knowledge he has his reasons

Same way Yahweh sent lying spirits to Ahab's prophets. This also sounds wrong to us but he has his reasons we aren't privy to and he answers to no one

Yahweh also hardened Pharaoh's heart while using that as opportunity to send more plagues and kill innocent people until all firstborn sons of the Egyptians are dead. This also sounds cruel but that's Yahweh showing us his loving power and nobody should question him

Yahweh struck Onan dead for refusing to cum into his brother's wife's vagyna

Yahweh might've instructed this pastor to do what he did and he might have his reasons so we should not use our limited knowledge to judge what a man talking to a being of unlimited knowledge does. Beware not to bring a curse upon your lives and future generations by attacking a true man of Yahweh
