Firstly, kindly argue your points logically without resorting to insults and name calling, let's keep this thread insult-free for once in Nairaland.
You said "Come to Africa and live in a hut with no hope of knowing where your next meal will come from", what role does God have to play in providing food and social amenities?! Is that not the responsibility of the government? Should we now call on a God when the government has clearly failed in it's responsibilities? Does God have an army of engineers that goes around fixing roads, building bridges, giving food to those who have prayed for it e.t.c.? If like you claim, that God indeed has a role in providing food to his prayer warriors, then why has he clearly ignored the plight of countries like Somalia and Ethiopia which have been ravaged by famine, or are there not prayer warriors there? Surely, that clearly shows that he dispenses "good" and "evil" at will.

You are asking for proof that humans have brains; surely, you and everyone should know that anatomy has revealed the basic structures of the human body, the proof is in science. On the other hand, where is the evidence that a God exists besides the continuous ranting of the biblical writers who may have been drunk at the time they were writing the bible.

Take it or leave it, the description of God in the bible is that he is jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving, control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevent bully. Is that the kind of God people passionately cling to and are proud of?! It therefore explains why the beleivers of this God display the same traits as he displayed, afterall by their works ye shall know them.

Understand me. God works through people/other things he created and does not necessarily have to come down himself to do things. in your bodily form you will not be able to stand up to God (probably you will not understand this). And i was saying if perhaps your find urself in such a situation without any help from no one including the govt., i guess you will think differently. As the bible (of which u believe not in says) that after men like you have eaten to their fill and make merry, they will forget Him. You have all (maybe almost evrything u want ) available around you, so God is no more important.

I was asking if you have brains. i know from anatomy humans have brains but i doubt yours thats why i would like to see to be sure. please prove me wrong.

The rest of your statments simply shows your very shallow understanding of the bible and that you don't even know God. Your words are blasphemous to Him and thus i would leave you to His judgement.

You have your will to believe/accept Him or not to. He (God) does not force you against your will. But on the very moment you and I leave this bodily form to the life beyond (if you even believe there is one), we will then know the conclusion of this whole arguments.

God Speed.

Society without God: What the Least Religious Nations Can Tell Us About Contentment

Before he began his recent travels, it seemed to Phil Zuckerman as if humans all over the globe were getting religion--praising deities, performing holy rites, and soberly defending the world from sin. But most residents of Denmark and Sweden, he found, don't worship any god at all, don't pray, and don't give much credence to religious dogma of any kind. Instead of being bastions of sin and corruption, however, as the Christian Right has suggested a godless society would be, these countries are filled with residents who score at the very top of the happiness index and enjoy their healthy societies, which boast some of the lowest rates of violent crime in the world (along with some of the lowest levels of corruption), excellent educational systems, strong economies, well-supported arts, free health care, egalitarian social policies, outstanding bike paths, and great beer.

Zuckerman formally interviewed nearly 150 Danes and Swedes of all ages and educational backgrounds over the course of fourteen months, beginning in 2005. He was particularly interested in the worldviews of people who live their lives without religious orientation. How do they think about and cope with death? Are they worried about an afterlife? What he found is that nearly all of his interviewees live their lives without much fear of the Grim Reaper or worries about the hereafter. This led him to wonder how and why it is that certain societies are nonreligious in a world that seems to be marked by increasing religiosity. Drawing on prominent sociological theories and his own extensive research, Zuckerman ventures some interesting answers.
This fascinating approach directly counters the claims of outspoken, conservative American Christians who argue that a society without God would be hell on earth. It is crucial, Zuckerman believes, for Americans to know that society without God is not only possible, but it can be quite civil and pleasant.

Personally, looking at this issue from a "christian atheist" point of view, the research couldn't have been more correct. Why oh why do some adherents of the abrahamic faiths tell us that only they will enjoy a mythical heaven, while the rest of us will be in a mythical hell suffering and burning?! What a wicked and sadistic way of thinking!

All evil known to man today can be narrowed down to his passion for a religion. Man has totally subjugated his ability to think for himself to an external force called luck/God/Karma e.t.c. The interesting thing is that the adherents of religion get defensive whenever we ask them to show some form of evidence that this God exists, what's so difficult in showing that the deity you worship really exists?! This is also based on the backdrop that 80% of the bible has been proven never to have happened, hence it is inherently false. Why do some persons passionately pursue a false doctrine even when they know it's false?!

Mtchewww. "Great men" with little brain.
I would have just ignored these posts as one written by a foolish person butjust thought i should make a small statement.
Come to Africa and live in a hut with no hope of knowing where your next meal will come from (not to talk of having the very basics of basic social amenities like clean drinking water) then you will know that there is a God somewhere.

Answering the bolded section, what is the proof that you have a brain in your head? We all can't see it and neither do u. Let you and I see your brain in your hands then i will prove to you that God, who the Christians (not Atheist or so called christian atheist-which is pure confusion) worship.

y e s !!!!

@ Poster: U r not a man! Kai. Common Chicken u can't kill.

This is the third decree uncle Jona is making. I will be counting from today.

This is decree 1.03

, i think she works with an NGO that canvasses for safe sex thats why she has it in her bag for public demonstrations.

I'll post some few more verses that are clear enough for any reader of the english language to comprehend that No man will know when The rapture's to happen.
Mark 13v33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: FOR YE KNOW NOT when the time is.
Matthew 24v42 Watch therefore: for YE KNOW NOT what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 25v13 Watch therefore, for YE KNOW NEITHER THE DAY NOR THE HOUR wherein the Son of man cometh.
Luke 12v40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at AN HOUR WHEN YE THINK NOT.

The above is clear enough and unmistakable without need for special inferences and visions. This is a more sure Word.
I do not doubt Jesus is coming soon. I'm on the look out also, and praying even so come Lord Jesus, even tonight Lord come. Jesus may come this year, even this week, but that day that even thehomer and his cohorts are expecting?mba. The Scriptures cannot be broken friend.

Thanks so much Image. These were the scriptures i was looking for. The key word there is "watch and pray" and that day will not "come like a thief in the night", even if we do not know the exact time or day. The only thing we know is the season. And from all the warnings given in the bible compared to current events in the world today, we are in the season and HE could come anytime now!

Toluxa1, the day of the Lord is not know by anyone even Jesus as you earlier quoted in Mark 13 vs 32. Now this other scripture you quote does not say expressly we will know the day the Lord will come. Yes that day will come like a thief in the night, but the bretheren who can tell the times/seasons when the day is close (as given by the Lord) will be able to keep their guard against all excesses in expectation of His coming. Thus they will not be perplexed on that day as they have been looking foward to it.

I hope i clarified things for you.

Sorry i wrote in a hurry and could not give bible verses.

please be serious , no one knows, yet he said in amos 3 vrs 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth his secret unto His servants the prophets.
he reveals his secrets to his close once, remember noah, plz take heed, am pleading

that picture is an example of what will be happening that day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ehhhm Bia Mister Poster abi na Nibles? If Jesus Himself says he does not know the day, then how manage will he reveal it to you? Are you sure Jesus is the one that told you when the rapture will happen?

Is there any particular reason, your new car must be a Hyundai? If I was going for a used one, I would be looking at more established brands, Like Honda, Toyota or Nissan.

I love the features and design. Maybe its brand name might be as strong as toyota or honda, but i think any 2011 used hyundai with mileage less than 5k miles (the lesser the better) will serve almost as good as a brand new one. You can advice further if i am wrong.

Thanks for the insite Siena. I thought i would be buying a brand new car. Maybe i will be going for the US used spec. Na wa for my country!!
