Hmmnn, he evolved. And the early apes which he evolved from came from nothing or an explosion. Okay.

We all evolved. Get over it.

Your "coming from nothing" rhetoric is unwise because any way you choose to look at it, there will be a 'Nothing' at the start. "Everything that exists must have a creator" So your God must have one too. Who created him?

It's quite reasonable to conceive a benevolent creator at the root of the start of the universe, but your current ideas of the origin of mankind and what happens after death are ancient caucasian folklore. You are living someone else's fantasy.

If anything, i think im enjoying my life to the fullest.

The iphone6 was not in existence few years ago and will cease to exist in some years time. i believe it was created for a reason, and i believe it didnt jumpout of nothing or an explosion. And that applies to all man made objects.

Lol, I believe God "knew you before you were born". I believe He put conscience in man. I believe you will exist after your physical death. You can however choose for yourself the kind of life you want.



"Conscience" or Intelligence is a relatively late arrival in the evolution of mankind.

Your 'soul', 'mind' and consciousness are all functions of one thing- your brain. Once all electrical activity ceases in your brain, that's it. Why do you think people with head trauma/ neurological or 'brain damage' injuries or illnesses seem 'souless'?

The continuous evolution of the human brain led to a sense of consciousness and awareness, followed by several relatively uniformed guesses about where we're from and what happens after death. One of which you currently believe in.

You didn't exist for billions of years before you were born, you will cease to exist for billions of years after you die.

Sports / The Truth About Sports Betting by Chizzled06(m): 9:14pm On Oct 23, 2015
Now I know you don't have time for long stories, so I'll make this as short as I can, while trying to capture as many points as possible.

Firstly, this is not religious or philosophical, it's just an attempt to pass across some information that most people that delve into the world of sports betting don't realise until it is too late.

Sports betting in Nigeria has been booming exponentially since it was legalized. Unfortunately, there's no regulatory commission (none that I know of) which means the general public (especially young and uneducated ones) are at great risk.

A lot of Nigerians are vivid sport watchers. Especially football. The records of past sporting results, current player forms and team tactics, give sports followers the impression that their 'knowledge' can be turned into a source of income (a concept unfortunately preyed-upon by betting companies). 

However there's a BIG difference between analysing past football matches and predicting results of future ones. Even the 'professional punters' that work for TV and news companies have a dismal record at attempting to predict results. Football is a largely unpredictable game, that's why it's fun to watch.

Here are a few tips that I hope you might learn from;

- Yes, Sports betting can be a source of income FOR THE BETTING COMPANIES.

 It is a business. A multi-BILLION Nigeria business. Everyday in my area, a new betting shop pops up. You think these guys would be opening more branches if they were losing money? Yes, you heard about the guy that won 2million naira. Did they tell you how much others (or even the winner himself) have lost? No matter how much they pay out weekly, it can never compare to their profits. It's a math based concept that is used to set the odds, ensuring they ALWAYS make a profit on every single game.

- If you haven't started betting yet, DO NOT START.

Here's how the psychology works (when you're in it to make money); 
If you win your first bet, you come back to make more and more, till you start to lose and you eventually end up in the negative. 
If you lose, you will come back with more money to get back what you lost. This is called "Chasing Losses" The cycle continues until you're bankrupt. 

-It usually starts from little 'harmless' amounts, then ends up in big money stakes that can ruin your life, if and when things go wrong.


If you're thinking about making a big bet to get some quick income (I've heard of people betting their tuition, house rent, borrowed money etc) please don't do it. You will regret it.

If you're addicted already or you know someone who is, the first step is to let go of all that you've lost. It's gone. You're never getting it back. Focus on productive ways to try to make a living in this harsh economy. I would advice you seek counselling help, but it's difficult to find genuine, nonjudgemental support amidst our hypocritical culture. I wish you the best.

Sports betting is meant for fun. It can add some thrill to watching an otherwise meaningless sporting event. It's meant as a source of entertainment. Not as a means to earn a living.

Everyday, I wonder how many Nigerians have realized organized religion is bullshit. The stigma surrounding being identified as an atheist can cost you your livelihood and personal relationships as you've pointed out, so a lot of people (men inclusive) still rather keep their lack of belief to themselves.

I've given up attempting to de-indoctrinate people by having arguments, because these ideologies are deeply rooted in some people. I only encourage them to learn more, I've found that education (esp history, science) can open up people's minds and help them start to think rationally.

I am sorry dear. But what went wrong is that you were just indoctrinated into christian religion but never had an encounter with CHRIST. Yes the taste is Christ and not religion of Christianity which these days comes in many flavours: orthodox, protestants etc.
I know how you feel because I have been there too. I wish there were other ways outside Christ, but the Truth is that there is non. Bro. I Plead with you to focus on the TRUTH and ignore its stake holders parading themselves as christ followers, they are such a disappointment, but then we ourselves are not perfect the only way we may be different is because we aspire to be perfect someday.

Biblical Jesus was a nice guy, no question. I did something on his philosophy here - https://www.nairaland.com/2643058/philosophy-ethics-jesus-nazareth

So how did God partake in all this evil?

If only you would read your bible and see how your God tormented anyone that wasn't from Israel.

And How does God partake in evil? Nothing happens without his knowledge innit? Everything that happens is his will!

According to your belief, everything on earth is God's creation. Including the devil. He can choose to destroy this devil and end all evil if he wants to.

But no, he thinks that's too boring. He'd rather sit back and watch the evil unfold. Then when he gets bored again, he'll watch his other creatures burn. Forever.

What a good God.

Religion / Re: Christians,why Do You Always Ignore This Bible Verse by Chizzled06(m): 5:12pm On Oct 20, 2015
ayoku777:


What do you mean that pastors and christians ignore this verse? What new testament doctrine does this verse teach us, for it to become an emphasis in the church now?

That scripture was a prophecy of God's impending judgment on the Babylonian empire.

Psalm 137v8 - O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

And if you understand anything about the nature of judgment under the old covenant; you will know that;

One, judgments are not just visited on the perpetuators, but also on their offsprings, even generations after him.

Exodus 34v7 - Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

And two, that people reap what they sow. And this judgment was a harvest of the cruelty the Babylonians have meted out to other nations. The Babylonians were reaping what they have sown among every nation they've attacked.

Psalm 137v8 -O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee AS THOU HAST SERVED US.

Jeremiah 50v1 -The word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

v15 -Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; AS SHE HATH DONE, DO UNTO HER.


The Assyrians and the Babylonians were very sadistic empires. And God gave them a taste of their own medicine through the Medo-Persian Empire under Darius and Cyrus.

But, that being said; if this scripture is not popular in churches now, its because its an already fulfilled prophecy against Babylon and its message is not of any relevant emphasis under the new testament. Unless to just say you will reap what you sow if you don't repent.

Shalom!


So adept at Jewish folklore, yet so ignorant in recognising the plight of your fathers at the hands of the white man and this his god that approves of slavery.

We only read spirituality and we judge the heart.

Did you just know the confidence that i have over you wanna be athiest? Jesus created the world and he is coming back to destroy it.
He will destroy the earth to humble athiest (scientist), and likewise heaven in other to humble satanist (fallen angels).

Who loose? I will depart from this world and forever live with my father in heaven, while all sinners will go to the outer darkness.

To me, whether athiest or satanist, you are both an offspring of the devil. You are all unbelivers, and you will both be punished because Jesus created you.

Am still waiting for a day that Asimo (humanoid robot) will boldly claim that it just exist without an inventor, or a day that it will declare that there is nothing like Honda. Nothing creates itself. And beside, man doesn't create. Man invent what has already being created by a creator.

And God looked down to the earth to see if anyone is wise to search for him.
I pity your soul, because death will establish the truth. But i won't be there to help you as am doing. Am doing this so that there won't be any excuse for you on the day of judgement.



Athiest repent! Satanist twins.

"Nothing creates itself"

Thanks for at least contributing.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
A day will declare who is right and who is wrong, who is smart and who is dull, who will continue living and who will be stopped.
Let us all wait for the day of judgement.


Eternity will judge.

Honestly, I wish the idea of a "judgment day" was true. I wish there was some kind of cosmic justice at the end for us all, because in this life, wicked people prosper and virtuous people don't.

But in all my years of studying the history of human religion, all concepts of an afterlife seem like inventions born of the fear of mortality.

The chilling part of this is that the concept of an afterlife that you believe doesn't even depend on having morals or treating others right. Your creator is basically saying "Believe I exist or burn forever."

This is my issue with Christianity, as well as a few other organised religions. You believe everyone who doesn't agree with the idea of God that you have been taught will burn in a literal flame one day, regardless of what they do.

Jesus reiterated that his principal message was "Love one another." I hope you learn to do this.

Yes! Athiest are the most foolish set of people that ever exist.
Their ultimate stupidity is not centered on their disbelieve on God's existence but on intangible force.

I was surprised to see on Niraland how a satanist was fighting an athiest. The guy did that because he knew that he was more wiser than the thiest.

King David in the bible said, "Only a fool will claim that there is no God."

I can't just stop meditating on the gravity of that statement.
Today, athiest are the offspring and decendant of Apostle Thomas. He had been with Jesus for many years in his earthly ministry but still had to seek for evidence after his departure.

Faith and evidence are two different thing, and an attempt to claim evidence will source out a natural antipathy towards God.

Average athiest uses scientific knowledge to defend themselves, and conclude that the universe doesn't have a creator.

The universe is a non-living thing and God is life (a living being). Non-living thing cannot create itself, but entirely depends on a creator.

The technologies and inventions we have today is a very good illustration.
Before a scientist invent a robot, computer, and automobiles, are they there? Do they exist? The answer is a capital NO.
This is because all technologies and inventions are non-living thing. And imagine a common mosquito that possesses life, living without any human contribution.

You must know the secretes behind men who claims spirituality. Peter doesn't just wasted his life without any hope. But if evidence is what you require, our evidence are faith, hope, and love. And those three things are eternal.
You will soon die but this three things will always live.
That is why "the just shall live by faith."

A request for evidence proves nothing but unseriousness. These people sees God's precepts for holiness as an umbearable protocols.
They would have love a commandment that says: Thou shall go to club, thou shall accumulate a life time wealth, yea must be selfish, and yea shall sin. But they hate the ways of God in other to satisfy their conscience. They always aspire to become independent of God.
They only focuses on the creative power of God which may send their soul to hell.
If it is science that will destroy your soul in hell, then cut it off. True wisdom doesn't resides in the mind, but in the heart. Intelligence cannot create life. And that is why i looked back and saw so many scientist dead and gone forever. A living dog is better than a dead lion. Peter is in heaven, and i desire to be their someday.

Even if eternity doesn't exist, christians faith is capable of creating one.

Satanist admits the existence of God, but only have an hatred for him. And that is why the bible considered this set of people wise but unsaved.
"Be wise as serpents but be harmless as dove."

But i wonder why they believe in one thing that the bible said. They believe in death, because they see people dying. That was why Jesus said, "You will die in your sin, verily i say, you will surely die in your sin."



Don't risk eternity, and don't decieve your soul with a false confidence. Repent today and challenge Jesus to hear from him, and you will hear.

I love you all.


Atheists are the fools but you, the smart one, believes that a book that justified slavery of your fathers at the hands of the white men, is the written word of the maker of your universe.

Godlessness was once associated with immorality and bad behaviour. Now, many good people don't believe in any deity simply because they think it makes no sense.

We all grow up asking the same questions; where are we from? What happens after death? Some people search deeper than others for answers, and don't take organised religion at face value like you have.

You have chosen to follow a path of someone else's idea of God. Everything you know about your God was conceived by someone else. You are living someone else's fantasy.

Many atheists know more about your religion than you ever will. That's why it's hilarious to see posts like these.

If you choose to live your life by the words one book, the least you can do is find out about its origin.

Yes I've heard of the scientific method. It goes like this, according to one website:
The steps of the scientific method are to:
Ask a Question
Do Background Research
Construct a Hypothesis
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Communicate Your Results


Now, please, How was the Theory of Evolution tested by ' Doing an experiment'?

What experiment did Ricardo's theory of Profits undergo before it was accepted by you as scientific?

When an hypothesis is constructed how does that happen?



Yet again you are just making an assertion without any argument to back it up. Very unscientific.


Asking me to explain how Darwin's theory is Scientific exposes the height of your ignorance.
