Ogaga87:
I had a Divine Visitation and afterward saw him in my dream in 2012... That night when he appeared, I called out to my mum in the dream that the world has ended with Christ appearance. We started praying for our sins.. I came out and had up to a minute view of him.. He actually appeared with some angels on both sides of him.. While I decided to look at the angels, a bright light shone on my face, then they disappeared leaving Christ alone.. I was looking at Christ while he looked at me as well.. I was dumbfounded.. He sat on a chair with his garment as white snow.. The whiteness of his hair and his garment were alike. And I have only seen that texture of his hair on one Chinese man.. He had side beard, all as white as a snow.. I can never forget that experience..

Hehehehehe enough said

Waking up every morning alive and healthy is enough to believe that God is real

Would you conclude your god is dead if you woke up sick?

franzis:
I was down , depressed , broke and frustrated and one faithful day I faced one of the four corners in my room and cried and poured out my heart to the Lord and ever since them life has never been the same...

This sounds moving and would fit right in "testimony time" at churches. This person's story would be attended to by a huge round of applause

The logical mind who's happy he overcame his frustration can't help but wonder what would've happened if his frustrations persisted after "pouring his heart to the Lord". would Franzis have concluded his god doesn't exist? of course he most likely wouldn't. He'll simply move the goalposts by saying "God's time is best" "He works in mysterious ways" "God is teaching me a lesson with these frustrating challenges" "He's testing my faith in him". His god can never lose, can't fail. if he fails then failure is redefined and excused

Secondly, concluding praying to some god and getting what you want is proof of that gods existence might be committing the Post Hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy that you overcame after prayer doesn't mean the prayer is responsible

MrWondah:
Even atheist and humanist know that God exists. They are just confused. Have you been in a situation where sheet, I mean purge hold you like say you go die, I mean when you dey sweat and close you leg that you can't walk, then the sheet comes, about to drop, you hold it and it goes back to your stomach and you hear "pkruuuuuuum". Deep down their hearts they pray...
"Dear God, if you exist just save me from this sheet, I will doubt you again."
After that they tell you it was coincidence, God never existed

This person is projecting his thoughts into atheists, he prays to "god" in this situation so he assumes everyone, including atheists, do the same. even though he's never been an atheist let alone praying in this situation as one

ayoomoba1:
Am Alive ......not perfect....but keep me sound and Strong...

Do you know there are people who are "alive... not perfect.... have sound mind and are strong" but they're atheists?

rapnelly:
i was shot on the neck with an ak47 GOD been GOD am still alive today

You survived a bullet wound and that, to you, convinced you God exists

What do you have to say about an atheist that survived not 1 bullet but 2 (two) atomic bomb blasts?

MrCGPA:
On 11th April 2014, on my way back after collecting my original University Certificate and put in my bag, I had a ghastly motor accident with an 18 Seaters bus. 15 passengers perished but I didn't die. The Road safety officers that recovered my bag had to snap with my certificate in celebration of my life. I endured some pains for like 3 months but if you see me today you can't believe that I have had accident before. It was only God who surprisingly saved me. People were dumbfounded till today.

Does the death of those 15 people prove God doesn't exist?

This is one of the many reasons why I have long maintained despite lip service to things like selflessness and humility, religions mostly function by providing an ego trip to people that allows them to cast aside a bigger picture of reality that they're not able to make sense of, and have a nice smaller picture, with them at the center, where what really matters are those things that happen to them.

So God is good because you survived an accident. It doesn't matter that 15 other people got killed. what matters in religion is ME - ME - ME - ME. Is there anything more self centered than believing Gawd singled you out for special protection while allowing so many others to suffer and die?

I guarantee you if we had a full on nuclear war that saw 90 percent of the world's population killed off, there would be among the survivors jackasses walking around talking about how great God is and how much he loves human beings because they survived, even while the survivors would be living through hellish conditions and dealing with all kinds of illnesses. That is the power of faith, the power of delusion.

The good ol' circular reasoning

Mizk:
Nothing happened, i just know there is something bigger than me, somewhere.

and whatever is bigger than you must be "God"? Is Messi the God of Hazard?

Kylekent59:
What could be more glorious than sleeping yesterday and waking up the next day .

Can this person please tell us how this convinced him? also, what he has to say about people who die in their sleep, are those people proof of his god's nonexistence?

izzou:


So so many

But the fact that I see atheists around makes me believe that truly, God exists

This is as comedic as its nonsensical

what does this even mean? the atheists he sees around him pray to his god or existence of atheists prove his god exists?

I guess he's talking about the latter cuz I've seen lots of theists say that atheist's existence is proof of their god being real. having opposition to your imaginary friend doesn't make that friend real. A mad person having his visions countered by sane people doesn't make those visions real.


The above quoted post makes no sense no matter the spin you try to put on it

An interesting thread hit FP on Sunday, 21st June, 2018 asking Nairalanders to give their experiences that made them believe God (the Christian god, Yahweh) is real

Here's a link to the thread https://www.nairaland.com/4800680/what-experience-made-believe-god

That thread sheds light on how empty and regular occurrences are seen as proof of God. experiences that can't stand even the most basic of scrutinies without falling like a pack of cards

On this thread I shall be selecting several of these "experiences" for scrutiny and expose its emptiness

Miremoses1:
Read my post again, I never said they should retire it permanently.

Retiring it for one season means you're giving a senior spot to a nonexistent player for a season

Miremoses1:
they should have retired that no7 jersey, atleast save it for someone worthy(a Galáctico).

Ignorant post.

Laliga doesn't allow for retiring of Jerseys.

First team players (who can be as high as 25) have to be given 1-25. 3 goalkeepers take 1, 13 and 25. the other 22 numbers go to the outfield players. any number higher than that are for youngsters from the youth team

IF you want to retire a number in Laliga it means you have to register only 24 players for first team

Franzinni:
If I start ehn! '!

if you start you'd finish pretty quickly but "I can't finish" and "I can't tell it all" are the slogan of the club so every member must parrot it

CAPSLOCKED:


NO WE BROWSE NAIRALAND IN OUR SLEEP BECAUSE ATHEISTS SLEEP AND DON'T WAKE UP.

Honestly the way they credit god for the most mundane of things is perplexing

LastDays777:


You don't believe in God. You enjoy reading everything that has to do with God. Your most active section is the 'religion section'. Wow. Just wow. That says a lot.

says what?

3mmyz:


Atheists have lowest IQs!

You see all the things happening around the world.

Fetish rituals that happen, people being killed for wealth, penis disappearing here and there and one small annoying person will now say, "there's no God"
it's either you've a reprobate mind or you're already doomed. You're in your state because of lack of exposure, you're inexperienced with life.

Even sorcerers have said it for the umpteenth time, there's God, do more digging next time.

God existence is a fact not just faith.

You seem to be rambling

Find your answer.

Checked the thread and there are lots of counter to the OP

Zieina:

How do you know his story isn't true too?
You may believe it or not, I have a personal healing experience.

the point is you're daring us to counter a story with no proof at all

Zieina:


There's nothing to counter. The difference between this and that is that you lied.

How do you know he didn't lie too?

You're getting there

What's the title of this Mount Zion film?

Zieina:


I dare any atheist to counter this miraculous revelation.

I flew to mars yesterday and lived there for 3 hours. Melissa Benoist came and we had mindblwoing sex there then returned to earth afterwards together.

I dare any Christian to counter this true story I just told

Akuruoulo:
I don't know how I came on earth, I don't know how the world come into existence, and I know someone made this happen. Why do man live by just air intake ? Soo many things made me believe he is living(there is God)

so in summary, God is your ignorance

WhoBeThisMan:
Satan the Lord rebuke you

Are you saying it wasn't God that created all those things?

LaExpert:

Invalid question.

Explain why it is invalid

WhoBeThisMan:
When you look at this beautiful earth , and study the order of its organisation, and look further at the universe and see the earth from a distant, you can only conclude that God is good

All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.

Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.
He made their horrid wings.

All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.

Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid--
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!

All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.

Read again

You've edited it now and it makes sense but what about atheists that have survived even worse than you did on that day?

Tetragramaton:


So many atheist have died so as many believers. Nobody ever came back to say what he or she saw! The worst is dying believing in nothing only to be in a state of awareness and realise that what we do not see and perceivevas humans are much more greater than what we no. How do you go back to convince the many people you have lead astray about the non existence of something supernatural. Note that I am not talking about heaven or hell. My knowledge of spiritism and religion goes beyond heaven and hell!

If I believe in something and I die and there is nothing , I have nothing to loose. I have no regrets but if I do not believe in anything and I die and I see that I have led peppe astray with my thoughts and believes. That is hell on its own.

If you believe Yahweh, Jesus and Christianity is true then die and find out Allah, Mohammed and Islam are actually the truth then you lost badly

In addition, because of the multitude of possible gods, if any god is as likely as another, the probability of the Christian being right is P=1/n where n is the number of possible gods. If we assume that there is an infinite number of possible gods, the probability being right is infinitely small. Since there is an infinitely large probability of picking the wrong god, one could go to some other god's version of hell. This is referred to as the "avoiding the wrong hell problem"

Olibboy:
Particular day in the past. Me and my friend went to a bank for transaction, as I was about to insert my ATM card in the machine . they didn't kill anyone of us. It's a blessing for me and the victims.


Oluwa is involved.

This makes no sense

ollah1:


Just imagine if he was a christian. We for no hear word!!

Yes o! but since he was an atheist Christians ignore that part when talking about how he survived for so long

Tetragramaton:



Wow you call it spontaneous remission. When one is sick from something that this doctors and scientist have claimed that there is no cure for, its nothing shot of a miracle. Its not trivial. There are many people who somehow receive healing through prayers, cancer, HIV patients inclusive. Please don't water down the miracles of God. If it was that easy how come so many people are not sero reverting or having spontaneous remission as you call it.

Stephen Hawkins in 1963 was given 2 (two) years to live but the guy died this year. that means he lived an extra 55 years.

Did I mention he was an atheist?
