Bro, I know these sheep, not the 1st he is tasting my religious education.

We all know that's sunday is their favorite day to bring their nonsense, fresh from church.

CoolUsername:
When did the deists, agnostics, pantheists, and New-Age spiritualists start hating on atheists too?

We just can't catch a break these days.

spacetacular:
So mentally ill people are allowed to have access to the internet in Nigeria without monitoring or restrictions?

I was shocked when I came on earlier and saw how a topic I left in a calm state turned to a war zone real quick. Still shocking to me. Something isn't right actually.

Not everyone deserves the internet.

bennyann:
Really? Maybe I should believe you because they're your people so you know them better.

To the question, no please

bennyann:
Finally! All those who need proof can now rest or get busy. The detailed location for a valid evidence has been given

dingbang:
Nigerians still don't understand the full meaning of sex education...



Including the teachers, students and parents.

TheLordIsGr8:
Christianity is not a confused religion.

Man is a confused being. Whatever man lays his hands on goes up in flames. Christianity as Christ established it still thrives. It is man that is inventing his own devices so as to make money.


The God of Christianity emphasized love for him over fear of punishment. It would have been easier for Jesus to just throw a few fires and say to people, "here's the fire that will burn you if you don't follow me". But instead he chose to die for the remission of my sin.

Before he was to die he so much emphasized love to his disciples. You can read it yourself in the later chapters of the Gospel of John.

So if anyone is afraid of hell, then, they fear rightly. But their priority is misplaced. But still they do well for themselves if they can hold out till the end.

hopefulLandlord:
that's because freewill and omniscience are mutually exclusive!

If He knows what we're going to do, doesn't that mean we are destined to do it? And if we are destined to do it, what are we, just "automaton-entertainment" for God??

To put it another way, God knows what we're going to do but we don't know what we're going to do. Still, we are going to do what God already knows we're going to do.

If we don't know what we're going to do (free will), how can God know, in advance, what we're going to do, since we haven't done it yet?

Either God does or doesn't know what we're going to do. And if God does know what we're going to do, what is the point of being tested as to whether we deserve Heaven or Hell? If we can't change (no free will) or if God knows what we're going to do in advance, why not go directly to Go either Heaven or Hell? As the song goes, "Why mess with mister in-between?" ♫♪♪♫♫♪

I'm sorry, but square pegs do not fit into a round hole. I learned that when I played with my "baby's block set." Later on, I learned that "you can't squeeze blood from a turnip," or my friend's favorite, "you can't pick feathers from a frog" (Dutch saying).

I will repeat my question: What is the point of free will if we are destined to do such-and-such? I don't get it.

TheLordIsGr8:
You should have been more specifice about "religion"

Ok, you're talking about Abrahamic religions.

Jehovah's Witnesses claim that there is no hell and they still have membership.

But your claim is that hell is what is keeping people in Abrahamic religions. That's the lie.

WORLDPEACE:
Does the fact that you are a minority in the world mean you don't matter? Religious people who don't believe in hell exist, and they do matter. They have other reasons why they are religious in spite of their not believing in hell. So the teaching of hell is not the only reason religion exists. That's my point.

WORLDPEACE:
They exist, majority or minority. Are atheists the majority in the world?

bennyann:
I know say you go come. This time it's not to knock me on my head

TheLordIsGr8:
False!!! There's no heaven or hell in Buddhism, yet people still practice it.

Even Jehovah's witnesses hold that there is no hell.

Try some other lie.

WORLDPEACE:
They exist, majority or minority.

Are atheists the majority in the world?

WORLDPEACE:
Not true. There are religions that do not teach the hell doctrine. You need to be informed about the different religions in the world. It is very likely that your Abrahamic religious background made you come to that conclusion.

bennyann:
oh my nerves.

HardMirror:
hehehehehe... be grateful it was not like 30years ban.

bennyann:
My dear, don't forget this is a religion section now. Even other sections have testimonies..

So that's what you will do to me too, if I bring my testimony here? Make una continue.

I'm deceiving myself thinking we're like a family here even when we have different views. We've related with each other too much to the extent we're so familiar not to share a personal good news here.

You guys are bad news, seriously. How do you think? You all forget we are first of all humans before belonging to any sect?

Anyway, see the story as a motivational one and your perception will change.
