It's laughable when every religion starts arguing about who is serving the TRUE GOD. Suggestion: Maybe you're all wrong? 1 Like |

GlorifiedTunde: So the old testament is wrong? All of it? Or just the part about polygamy being okay? I thought the whole bible was God's written word? Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)" |

Keep your decision on bedroom issues between you and your spouse. Sex is not the beginning and end of a relationship but it is vital. Talk about the situation and lay out your impressions and worries to your significant other. Whatever resolution you both arrive at, trust me your clear conscience while you're at it will assure you that you're sinning against no man or God. 1 Like |

GlorifiedTunde: Origin of marriage is what? Lol. Ignorance is bliss. The bible is well known for it's tolerance of polygamy. Even Jesus Christ has no quotes attributed to him about the issue despite living in a time when it was rampant. Monogamy, or the marriage you speak of is primarily a Roman ideology, not Christian. So if you want to discuss your God's idea of marriage, don't forget to add the extra wives and concubines. 1 Like |

Religion / Re: How Could A Loving God Send Me To Hell? by Chizzled06(m): 12:19am On Sep 06, 2015 |
"I'm lonely, Let me create angels to praise me and adore me" "One angel revolted against me? Shit. Well, I'll send him to a really awful burning place. Shouldn't I kill him, so all the evil dies with him? No, what's the fun in that?" "Still bored, let me create a different realm and put creatures there that can praise me some more! Meanwhile, that revolted angel has free passage into this realm and can try to take companions for himself too. Seems fair enough. These new creatures will live and die, then come and be judged by me. The ones that didn't believe I exist or didn't praise me well enough will burn forever. (Well, till I get bored again)" 3 Likes |

"I do not pray. I accept the means at my disposal for working out my destiny. It seems to me that I have been given a mind and willpower for that very purpose. I do not expect God to single me out and grant me advantages over my fellow men. Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to admit weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility." 1 Like |

trustman: Now, you're just arguing for the sake of it. Either that or your lack of understanding of science is deeper than first feared. Creationism? Really? On what basis could anyone believe in that? There's no single rational evidence or proof to support that claim. The day you choose to start thinking rationally, explore the science of paleontology. 2 Likes |

trustman: Fossil evidence; dating, analysis of location, surrounding rocks etc can tell when, how dead creatures lived. Of course it proves they evolved. The timeline of their evolutionary existence, showing slow organ mutation into different forms, shapes etc fit accurately. Natural selection and evolution is STILL being observed in LIVING organisms today. DNA and genetic analysis of creatures predicted to have evolved from common ancestors confirm this theory beyond reasonable doubt. I'm unsure if your questions are honest or a desperate attempt at pedantry, but these things are out there if you're really curious. 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog: Those are very good questions and a step in the right direction, if they are honest curiosities. Understanding Darwin's theory will explain them perfectly. If you're truly curious, you can pick up any ALevel Bioology textbook. Or better still, the internet is your very informed friend. I really don't want to post links because there's fun in finding things out for yourself. |

trustman: Faith, you say? Based on other people's EVIDENCE? I agree and I'll explain why this isn't blind 'faith'. You see, science works because with sufficient funding for research, you can test ANYTHING you wish to verify or disprove. Something you might not know is that once a Scientific Theory is disproven by ONE SINGLE EXPERIMENT, it is SCRAPPED. That's millions of scientists worldwide researching, making observations and calculations daily, testing and applying thousands of laws and theories. You know, as opposed to one man writing some verses, another claiming these words are inspired by a supreme being, then forcing everyone to take it as law. No evidence, no proof, Nothing. Not studying Biology doesn't mean I have no knowledge of Darwin's great contribution to science. We're talking of a theory accepted by Biologists, Archeologist, Paleontologists. Strengthened by every new fossil discovery and DNA analysis, even though the technology wasn't close to being discovered when he made his work public. If you want 'proof of evolution', you might want to understand it first. Read a book |

davidylan: Science hasn't explained it yet, so they must be wrong about everything. I see your argument. It makes sense. Thankfully, Scientists braver than yourself never stopped looking for answers when they hit stumbling blocks while trying to understand concepts, otherwise we'd still attribute smallpox and viral infections to your angry God and his demons. 2 Likes |

trustman: Lol The "Evolution is just a theory" brigade. Well, so is gravity and I don't see you jumping out of buildings. You clearly don't understand the scientific method. Scientist's 'Theory' and your everyday use of the word are unfortunately NOT the same. Your belief in a God is baseless and empty. Born of fear of the unknown. Nurtured by organised religion and indoctrination. Think for yourself, my friend. I hope you eventually break free. 4 Likes |

KingEbukasBlog: Lol I struggle when I try to take someone who quotes biblical verses in a rational discussion seriously. It's funny how Christians choose to ignore the vile, woman raping, child killing, mysogystic, apologetic portrayals of your God in your holy book. Really, you know about the lost scrolls and discrepancies in the early christian versions of biblical books? That's a good start. If you study biblical and christian history from a neutral perspective, I assure you you'll find it as ridiculous as the 100,000 other world religions. That percentage of believers only applies to America, and that figure is rapidly decreasing. Less than half of German population, like their Western European counterparts currently believe there's a God. Those figures are incredibly crunched down when you count those that believe the bible is truly God's written message to mankind. Even more revealing, more than 90% of scientists (the smartest people on earth) are agnostic or atheist. Again, when you break free from indoctrination and start to think for yourself, there's always only one reasonable conclusion when you analyze any of the world's current religions. Your profound argument still remains: "Since science hasn't (YET) found an explanation for THIS and THIS, then they are WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING." If humans never left the "I can't explain it, then God did it" phase of our existence, it's scary to think how far behind we'd still be in terms of general standards of living 2 Likes |
