An Atheist is one believes that there is no god. Check any dictionary

joyandfaith:
the fact is science has its limitation. acceptable scientific knowlege today becomes archaic tomorrow.

Bible is unchanging and can be relied upon.

felixomor:
Agnotists are still better than aethists.
They are sincere enough to be open minded.
Many who are even agnotists think they are aethists,
And they dont know they are agnotists.

So when assertions are made about the potential of science to provide an explanation of everything that exists, it is only reasonable to take such assertions with reservations.

There remains a vast store of knowledge that is beyond human perception and understanding.

While science offers knowledge of the natural world, the Bible provides principles and guidance that lead to peaceful human relations and a happy, satisfying way of life.

I beg to differ sir.

Biologically and psychologically, religion and faith emanate from the most primitive part of our brains,..the part where our basest and most primordial instincts reside.
This is where selfish, fearful beast resides.
It defines reality in extremely narrow, self-centered terms.

This is no wonder that religion , superstition, oppression, violence and war go hand in hand.

In my own life, far too many times I have seen decent people become narrow minded, hateful, fearful, superstitious and selfish , the deeper they go into religion and faith.

Zoharariel:
It is simply because christianity was built on hypocrisy & mind-boggling lies.

UltimateDaniel:
To be sincere, how do you feel immediately you finish masturbating? Read Open Heavens Devotional @ www.openheavensdaily.org

Masturbation is a Sin brother!
Take it or leave it...

orunto27:
When you feel ill by its practice, God is judging you and Satan is punishing you.

hopefulLandlord:
and the most amazing part is that both Muslims and Christians would join hands to frustrate your life for being atheist
.
for instance, most Muslims had no problem with me being a Christian (while I was a Christian) but suddenly started having issues with me being a "free agent"
.
shouldn't they like me more as a "free agent" than as a Christian?
.
logically speaking they should but they don't
.
they don't care which god I choose, they just want me to chose one, anyone

Strawman:
OP it's a common human practice oh, I dunno what the fuss is about. I once told an atheist in school that a wicked lecturer deducted marks from some students, he said "Good thing I was not among!". The only difference is that some Christians would say "Thank God I was not among!"

Scholar8200:
But were these or any other used against ANY living being before the fall? Why is it that the Bible talks of a time when Lions will eat grass and not flesh? Obviously, God designed that all animals will eat the producers - plants alone

donnffd:
When you see a certain atheist bash a certain religion constantly, its not because that religion is the so-called right one or special one, its just because that was the religion he was deluded with and obviously knows much if not all about it.

Most atheist here break out from Christianity, its only logical they wud attack christianity(fyi, not christians). If you found an atheist in iraq, i bet you he would attack islam 98% of the time.

Please, stop deluding yourself that your faith is any special

ifenes:
According to Christian belief sin consists in loving something that God hates, or in hating something that God loves.

We can therefore say the Christian god is pure love, yet is hateful at times? The same god impregnated Mary without her consent,i wonder how many nights he did it for before eventually impregnating her? And that is what I call RAPE. Better to masturbate than rape.

I think it's silly when religion tries to pervert something that is totally natural. Basically what they're saying is being a human is a sin.

paxonel:
But since the Bible says he exist, then the Bible should come with evidence and that evidence are the miracles of the Bible we read.
Now, this miracles continues today in our present life and we have seen and experience them that's why we believe

noblemails:
what do they stand to benefit when the person falls down?

Chinexbagar:
That is why some things are mystery,but when you live your life and die and see god you should ask him the question

Ranchhoddas:
Your posts are always 'sweet' to read.

oweniwe:
That is why religion "is there ".

If there were no religion, believe me, everybody would be dwad by now.

Religion is meant to curb and check the excess of man... When employed d right way, it creates orderly societies .... And it can wipe out societies too if misused.

So religion itself is not bad. Its how people apply it.

Kudos sir

THE ARK!
HOW BIG WAS IT?
Could it take 20 million animals of which only about 2 million where insects?

The dimensions of the ark can be found in Genesis 6: 14-15

It wAs 300cubits long = 450ft

50 cubits wide = 75 ft

And 30 cubits high = 45 ft

Floor space is gotten by multiplying LENGTH X Width
= 450 X 75 = 33,750 sq foot of space

Wait a minute!

There was even more space than that! The ark was divided into 3 levels. This will increase floor space
So that is 33,750sq ft X 3 = 101,250 sq foot of space. For animals to stand.

Please how will 20Million animals stand within this small space?

That is 0.005sq ft to each animal!

Ok ok let me help God a little, the insects can hang on the walls all through the trip
So what is the area of the walls?

Side walls will be length X height =450 x 45
= 20,250 sq ft
There will be 2 sides so that is 20,250 X 2

= 40,500 sq ft


Then we have the front and back walls
Which is Width X Height = 75 X 45
3,375 sq ft

Times 2 (for front and back)

3,375 X 2 = 6,750sq foot

So let use see the surface area we can make use of in total
That is

101,250 + 40,500 + 6,750 = 148,500 sq foot of surface area including the walls for the insects to hang on

Ohhhhhhh no!

Noah must have used the roofs too!
Ok the area of each roof was 33,750 and there were 3 roofs
So that is another 101,250 sq ft extra!


HURRAY!!! We are getting more space!


So total area we can use including the 3 floors, 4 walls, and 3 roofs (ignoring the thickness of the timber Noah used and how much space the timber used for bracing the ark must have taken)
We have TOTAL SPACE of 249,750 sq ft

This space divided by 20 million occupants

Each animal gets 0.013 sq ft of space


HOW SMALL IS THIS?

This is a mere 3.9 mm by 3.9 mm! For each animal even after using all the space in the ark including the walls and roof!
That space is even too small for a common house fly.

So the ark was more packed than a can of sardines!

What are we becoming next?.. ...a giant I guess

Hiswordxray:
Atheism is darkness, Jesus is the light. You can not win darkness by wrestling against it, you only win darkness by bringing in the light. 2 Corinthians 3:18 reveals that we bring in the light by focusing on Jesus until we are transform into Christ the light and then this light would drive away the darkness. The way to abolish atheism is focusing on Christ.

Kennedyiheme:
top countries use skill and knowledge they've aquire over the years.....mm they produce fighter jets, drones, cars, choppers... they learnt these things.......all these things addso up and build their economy, all Africans know how to do is pray and pray, argue senseless about religion....... religion is a waste of time and brweds laziness, makes young people dull...... African countries are top 7 most religious countries in the world of which nigeria is among...... we are worse and we don't have electricity.... if you don't see an irony in this then you and 90percent of people in this forum need serious help..... since 1909 prayers and religion hasn't done anything for africa.....breeders alone had over 1000 parishes in Nigeria, funny, no single research institute, nigeria police don't even have a forensic science department.... Africa is trouble, nigeria is in bigger trouble
