This would be pushed to front page but the nefarious acts of atheists states against Christians won't make it .

cidieschat:
Bro are u speaking for God? is this biblical? or from your own understanding

McGg:
when I was younger I believed the bible until I found out that everything written in it is a scam now I no longer believe or trust it though I still believe in a source that is God.


so am I now an atheist as people claims?

OtemSapien:
Nairaland is anti-everything my guy. It is Antichristian because of the presence of the muslims, atheists and irreligious people. It's anti-muslims because of the Christians and the irreligious people in it. It is anti-myself because of the Christians, Muslims and some scammers on it. It is anti-athiests because of the Christians , Muslims and some babalawos in it.

If we should go on and on, I will say it is anti-buhari, anti-gej, Antichrist, anti Muhammed, anti daddy freeze, anti-anything.

So Op, don't make it seem as if the Christians are the only people being opposed in here. We all oppose one another and that shouldn't be an issue.

Actually that statement means that God is a necessary being and without Him everything including the atheists wouldn't have existed .

Deification is a man-made concept . You just committed the anthropocentric fallacy .

OLAADEGBU:
If there were no God there will be no atheists.

Lafarge and their useless cements wey no they ever dry properly. Lafarge products are substandard, the Ghanaians shouldn't allow Nigerians flood their country with sub standard products, next thing we would start hearing news of collapsed buildings in Ghana.

Both are. We know the religionists have their stand on their various books which they cannot question even if they feel it's wrong. I mean I'm sure Christians sometimes wonder why the god they worship only appeared to primitive men. But there is an obvious answer to that question where you would think the so called "intelligent atheist" would figure out, but they have no clue themselves.

Atheism came about from rebellion to paganism, long before Christianity. They have always been around. But Morden Athiesm came from Europe. The fight against a supposed Christian deity. This is the unfortunate part,because they keep fighting the idea which is obviously false but failed to study and figure out the misinterpretation of the term "God". So far they are going around in circles just like the religionists. And a circle has no end.

On Nairaland,there is only a handful of those who know what I'm taking about. The rest are supposed "intelligent Athiests" who still argue about the Christian misinterpretations of what God is without an end product. Too many unnecessary questions from athiest makes on wonder how similar they are to religionists.

Obviously it is easy to spot different personals referred to as "gods" in the bible. It doesn't necessarily mean they were gods, they were given this label by primitive men....example Yahweh being a god to the Christians and to the Muslims. One being manipulating lots of tribes.

So far it's being uninteresting,unproductive,uneducative discussion on nairaland and yet no end point. The Christians don't know just as the Athiests don't know anything either. Such is the power of indoctrination. Indoctrination is a prison wall everyone must shake off......you must learn to think for yourself 100%

When your thread is destroyed by a single comment lie from me you start chanting liar liar

Sorry for your buthurt . Your thread was dead before it took off.

Atheism is not the opposite of religion , so I don't get why you are trying to make it seem like there is a contrast . There are religious atheists . And atheists who have superstitious beliefs in magic , reincarnation , voodoo , fairies , spirits etc

Funny enough the founders of modern science were Christians .

Most discoveries in science were made by religious people . Most Nobel prize laureates , fathers of different areas in science were all religious .

Atheism rejects deification , nothing more , nothing less . It does not make you curious , it does not encourage you to embrace science . In fact , most hideous and dangerous ideologies like Nihilism that encourages rebellion and suicide were atheistic ideologies .

KingEbukasBlog:
I dont think you know what a strawman is .

You claimed that Christians aren't allowed to question the bible and that questioning the bible is questioning God's authority .

I showed you why that that claim is so false with Christians who question bible inerrancy . Bible inerrancy means that the bible is ultimately God's word- that there are no errors , it is infallible and undeniably the word of God . Questioning bible inerrancy means not accepting that the bible is God's word and this does not mean God's authority is challenged .

jaymichael:
You cannot explain the supernatural with cheap magic tricks. I can't doubt you that there are tricks and (magic) performance that awe people but only the performer knows the rope of the tricks. I am an African, my late maternal grandfather was a member of the Ogboni occult. I have gone with my mother to one of her uncles in the village who is a babalawo (native doctor) I have seen effigy (a carved wood about a meter tall) speak in his shrine with my very eyes. There are powers, there is the supernatural which controls the natural. Don't pray to be a victim of supernatural forces before you believe.

KingEbukasBlog:
This is just ignorance . There are Christians that don't agree to bible inerrancy . Challenging the bible does not mean challenging God's authority .

KingEbukasBlog:
First , there is a problem we have to identify and that's the presupposition from the OP that there is indoctrination(to accept something uncritically ) in Christianity . There is not , if there were we won't have different biblical interpretations , sects in Christianity , and schools of thought in Christian theology . And why is this so ? Because Christianity allows for skepticism believe .

Example :
Being skeptical about believe in the literal interpretation of the bible , we have St Augustine's allegorical exegesis
Being skeptical about Believe in the divinity of Christ led to Arianism
Critical examinationBelieve in God's providence and freewill led to Molinism
Critical examination aboutBelieve in the book of revelation led to preterism
Critical look at howBelieve on how God establishes His presence with man led to Sandemanianism

The list is endless ...

Christian theology in fact allows for rationality while studying the tenants of Christianity and the bible .

As a child I wasn't told to take whatever being taught to me as facts . Look at me moving from creationism , progressive creationism and now to special creationism .

If Christianity allowed indoctrination as the OP claims, there wouldn't be Christian theology , St Thomas Aquinas wouldn't have made arguments for God's existence to defend his belief . Irish priest George Berkeley's profound argument for idealism - Esse est percipi - wouldn't have been made . George Lemaitre , the Belgian priest wouldn't have developed the Big Bang Theory , Christian archaeologists wouldn't bother to verify the stories in the bible etc . The list again is endless ...

butterflyl1on:
Of course another ad hominem attack when an argument is already lost.

To school means to teach. Doc in inDOCtrinate means TO TEACH. indoctrinate was derived from Latin and it's Latin source means TO TEACH.

No be you go teach me what I know. The supernatural exits. I have seen things strong enough for me to hold firm to my belief.

Unlike some of you I am no coward. Create the thread make I end your lean career.

jaymichael:
Real magic is SUPERNATURAL. Read the testimonies of omoobajesu to get an insight on magic and the dark world of powers, occultism and mysticism.
The whites, use supernatural powers to aid their magic, that they won't tell you because such knowledge is ESOTERIC. They will only use tricks and methodology to explain their acts so that you will think they are doing something highly skillful. If they tell you that they are using esoteric powers to perform magical acts, wherein lies the fun and awe factor. Magical Tricks exist. Supernatural Magic also exist.
NB: Don't take this as an endorsement of the act displayed by the moniker Babalawos. I have not seen the video he put up.

So many times i play the Westlife song "Angels wings" that starts with. I will die for you, lay down my life for you.

Hhmmm i think there is an inner voice calling me to die for a woman.

like I said I don't need YouTube to prove something I saw live to me. YouTube did not video the particular one I saw, so?

terrezo2002:
Bros wake up from this deep slumber. There are powers in this world. levitation is one of the smallest things you can do. People levitate, people use magical powers. They are aided by unseen demons. I am against the use of magic though.

Igyeseh:
Any evidence of his fraud activities?
The fact that nairaland is faceless forum doesn't means it's a guarantee for every Tom, Dick and Harry to start writing trash and accusing people wrongly.
It would have gentlemanly and morally acceptable if you had back up your claims with prove.
The person you just called fraud has been of tremendous help to many people in general and me in particular.
I don't just know why some people derived joy in tarnishing other people's image.
