LordReed:
Watch them invoke their god of special pleading.

shadeyinka:
Same argument!
A True thinking Christian will NOT marry a non true Christian and certainly an atheist is off the list

Martinez39s:
My fellow atheist.

LordReed:
@budaatum, I once said that I suspect the the mistress of the kraken, Sidney Powell was laughing and speaking like a person who knows she's being ridiculous but going on for the gain. Here we have it now, she's said no reasonable person should believe what she was saying was fact.

LordReed:
If your god exists then he is the most immoral being in existence because he doesn't even follow his own rules.

Pelecius:
Nothing is lost. Christianity actually helps make a sane society. So it's nit about going to church, it's about having fellowship with God and loving your neighbors. There's nothing bad in me having a God's standard of morality.

But it's beyond that. The fact that Jesus came, died and rose is enough to demolish any conspiracy theory.

HellVictorinho:
The politicians are not united.
They fight for positions/powers.

HellVictorinho:
They think you can't be nice without reading the Bible.
They think you can't be productive without reading the Bible.
Damn it!!!!!!
Humans exhibited creativity even before the Bible was written!!!!!
I think budaatum should know that humans were capable of showing love to one another even before the goddamn Bible was written!!!!
So, I never really needed Jesus to teach me $_##&'##--$##;+-""@#*"_--!!'$$$$**$

Roughly what percentage of NRA card catrying members are involved in shooting.
NRA has 5m members, tell me that they own the nearly 300m guns in private possessions.

Agroblessing:
You wont understand.
Nevertheless zi am working on that already

The fall in the Lira was as a result of the central bank governor being sacked (something like the fourth one in two years). Not the increase in rates. As it happens, he was a markets friendly governor and the Lira appreciated markedly over the period he was governor of the central bank.

basilico:
Sure sure If we ban guns mass killers will not have any weapon of choice.

Like that guy who used a truck to kill 80 people in France.

LordReed:
May they encounter the mud and pool of Siloam.

LordReed:
LoL! I concur.

LordReed:
It must seem like I am blaming religion my dear buda but I would have assumed you know me better than to do that. If anything I reveal exactly what you say.

shadeyinka:
Will you encourage your daughter to marry a religious fanatic?

Hello all... I mentioned earlier in the thread that my wedding anniversary is in a few days. Well, today, my lovely wife and I celebrated our 7th year wedding anniversary. Yes, I remain a true atheist, and she remains a professed christian.

Waking up this morning, my wife held my hand and said a short prayer. While she was at it, i was silent, looking at her and smiling joyfully. When she finished and said "Amen", i told her i love her. She said she loved me too.
Surprised an atheist allow his wife hold his hand when she prayed well, that's because of balanced judgement. I know that in her heart she means well by praying, and that she wishes our union well with such prayers. I respect that. So sometimes when she asks with pleading eyes, and hold my hands, i consent. However, she respect me enough to not always expect my participation (though it is only passive). She respect enough to keep it short the times i join in. Also, she respect me enough to not overdo the prayer thing (with hyperactive vibrating, gibberish speaking in tongues, etc).

You see, mutual respect is key. Even if you think your belief (or unbelief) is correct, respect the other's belief (or unbelief), and allow him/ her express it. Where possible, even make room for the expression of this belief (or unbelief). Do not force the other to accept your views. (belief or unbelief).
Troubles brew when you insist you are right and the other is wrong. Trouble brew when you belittle the other person or trample on the views that he/ her treasures. Trouble brew when you try to push your views on the other.

Some here have wondered why I say so little. it is because i really cannot stand the intolerance here (Sorry if this comes out wrong). Trust me, the Atheist me have stayed happily married to my Christian wife because we learned early to sweep off intolerance. My rice and beans comparison has been mentioned by some as too simplistic.... but that is actually how it is to us. We've seen our belief differences as a difference in taste.
In fact, it is one reason it has worked out for us. For example, because i love rice and my wife love beans, i may not eat beans, but that does not mean i'll insist my wife also not eat beans. And it does not mean i will not buy a beans meal for my wife.

As for our little girl, like i said earlier, we teach her how to think, not what to think. Yes, we give her rice, and we give her beans, letting her know rice is daddy's love and beans is mummy's love. "We" is highlighted for emphasis. Daddy does not shove his views down her throat, and mummy does not do that either. Trust me, the little girl knows more about Mummy's sky daddy and his supposedly holy book than most children her age. She just is not indoctrinated. Yes, she also knows the cracks in the sky-daddy tale (at least those her little brain can comprehend).


Once again, happy anniversary to my Atheist self and my lovely Christian wife.

shadeyinka:
Are Atheists for Christ?
"He that is not an anti-Christ is not against Christ in the work of the ministry"

shadeyinka:
Do you know that sometimes, some animals have been found to show mercy to their captives? Does it mean that God is in their hearts?

By earthly standards, some Atheists can be good and kind. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with God (Atheists too will support this argument). Within man is his spirit from where his conscience operate. Gods spirit is different from man's spirit.

Only those who believe on His name has the power of sonship of God. In this, the Atheist doesn't qualify one bit

Agroblessing:
Sure, I do have proof to my story 100%.
I'm just this type of person that doesn't like to much of public attention.

basilico:
Its guns that killnot people who usually have mental health issues.

HellVictorinho:
You shouldn't use words like COLLECTIVELY in a debate like this.
That's because Africans are not united against any race.
They are not united in whatever competition.
The politicians think a lot more about themselves.

Look my brothers & sisters, GOD told me over 6 months ago that HE has given you over to me to guide. HE told me I need to experience what THEY(Heavenly beings) experience and how hardened humans have become against their CREATOR.

LordReed:
The only way not believing in religion changed me was allow me to stop using the lens of fairytales to look at life.

Turkey's central bank today hiked interest rates to 19% to curb inflation and support the Lira.
