Religion / Re: Towards Uniting Theist And Atheist by cyrexx: 10:30am On Feb 15, 2013
If Christians really want nothing to do with atheist/agnostics, they should immediately stop using nairaland (owned by an atheist) stop using windows OS (created by an agnostic) and stop using Facebook (owned by an atheist)

tchaik: @cyrex, I find it difficult to ascribe the term 'Religion' to Buddhism! It looks more of a path to self discovery and awareness than a 'religion' properly so called!

noted, thanks

Kill the messenger when his message becomes too hot to handle.

It amazes me how christians on this thread didn't bother to watch the debate and comment on the points made in the debate. They will rather attack the person of Richard Dawkins needlessly.

What is even more amazing is those who has never published any peer reviewed scientific journal or contributed anything to science or human knowledge can call a world-renowned and world - celebrated scientist a dunce, just because his statements disagreed with their religious beliefs.

Face it, guys, dogmatic faith is dying already, scientific knowledge is advancing and religion is on its way out. There is so much religion can do to suppress scientific evidences and truths that debunks dogmatic and superstitious religious beliefs

Our great grandchildren will read threads like this and laugh at how their fore fathers used to believe the superstitious stories of the Bible and the Quran

musKeeto: Dude.. Old Testament... Has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity ;-)

Sometimes I wonder if Yahweh is actually the heavenly father Jesus is referring to, or Yahweh is just one crazy being that loves bloodshed and has nothing to do with the God Christians worship.

Jesus' character is more humane and less bloodthirsty unlike the crazy being allegedly known as his father
Their characters are so different.

Dr. Gregory House said “If you could
reason with religious people , there
would be no religious people.”

People are not reasoned into religion. It's almost impossible to reason them out of it.

Just keep presenting your facts, logic and reason. The seeds will germinate one day. That, I am sure of.

In my own case, I started questioning my religion about 5 years ago. But I didn't drop religion till around last year. Thanks to Avicenna and his epic thread about giving up on religion and God.

So don't get tired. The seeds will germinate. Slowly but SURELY.

Religion / Re: Sam Harris Vs Dawkins Vs Htichens Who Has A Better Debate Style? by cyrexx: 3:55am On Feb 02, 2013
Logicboy03:

Muskeeto is a great example of Sam Harris. He doesnt bash religion, he makes simple points with covert humor. Funny but incisive. Muskeeto and Sam harris have less problems with religious people because their style of speech is very calm and less inflamatory. However, the downside is that you inspire less people because you are seen as being "too nice".


What do you think?


I actually made an observation like that a while ago on this thread

Sam is kinda like Muskeeto. He delivers like a comedian and makes the religionists look like fools (they call atheists fools, anyway) grin

@OP,

Do you know the meaning of Satanism.

Do you realise that there is no difference between Yahwehism (Christianity) and Satanism.

Yahweh is not different from Satan. They are both fictional entities. (Actually in the christian Harry Potter book known as the Bible, Yahweh actually commited more atrocities than Satan did).






Both of them are simply make-believe constructs that mankind had invented and had been using to explain unknown realities.

E.g. Ancient people dont know how the world began, therefore yahweh did it.

Another example: ancient people dont know what causes diseases, therefore satan did it..

Etc etc etc

Religion / Re: Christianity Is Not A Religion But A Way Of Life And Atheism Is A Religion.... by cyrexx: 5:27pm On Jan 23, 2013
Let me simplify it as much as possible so that your foolish and darkened atheistic mind can grasp it.

You see, christianity is very special because nobody can convince me otherwise. I know that i know that i know that i know that christianity is the only way to reach God. In christianity, God himself came down to reach out to man and desire to have fellowship with man, therefore you can see that christianity is more than a just a religion. It is a personal relationship with God. That is why christians dont see their religion as a religion but as a personal relationship.

Atheism on the other hand is a religion because atheists worship something else other than the most high god. This is actually idolatry, because they worship their intellect and human wisdom (and consequently worshipping the devil) instead of worshipping the living God. Therefore, atheism is a religion.

I hope you understand now and wont ask this foolish question again.

You got nerve, how dare you call christianity a religion, you this devil worshipper.

One down, few more to go...

For instance, I'm waiting for when christians will admit that the whole human race DID NOT descend from the biblical Adam and Eve, cos I wonder maybe either of the first couple were Negro or Asian or Caucasian (white) OR God may have created different Adams and Eves each for those 3 major categories of the human races. Just wondering.

Let's just wait and see...

Religion / Top Ten Signs That You Are A Christian. by cyrexx: 7:09pm On Jan 22, 2013
1 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of Gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

2 - You feel insulted and"dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

3 - You laugh at polytheists (those who believe in many Gods), but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

4 - You feel disgust when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

5 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that worships humans as avatars, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

6 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established facts, e.g. age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

7 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most"tolerant" and "loving."

8 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some crazy people rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove"Christianity.

9 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

10 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a christian.

davidylan: @ cyrexx... it is absolutely safe to say that atheists like you give all atheists out there a bad name.

Thankfully i have had a chance to interact with logical thinking atheists like Nferyn, mazaje, tudor and co... people like you are a dime a dozen... empty heads who have nothing but ad hominems when they run out of gas.



davidylan:

When you want to falsely accuse others... make sure you're not much worse. You have no moral foundation to make the claims you make. Sorry if it hurts that i prefer to unmask the hypocrisy, sheer ignorance and lack of intelligence that is the hallmark of many of you around here.
Save your "respect"... this is an anonymous online forum which has zero impact on our real lives. It really isnt needed and your alleged importance is grossly over-stated.

Folks like you lack the cerebral fibre to debate... so little wonder you lash out with spittle-flecked vitriol every 2 secs. I would suggest you get psychiatric help .

I highlighted the bolded just to show the hypocrisy and cerebral "fibre" of the one who had the "better moral foundation" to launch personal attacks and insult.

this guy really needs psychiatric help with his knee-jerk response ad hominien especially whenever it is not warranted or called for. Personally, i do not like engaging in insults and personal attacks, but this sick hypocrite left me no choice with his inability to make a single sentence without unwarranted ad hominien. And to make it worse he is quick to see when his ad homiens are returned to him in full measure but he either blind or dumb to see his own kickstarter ad homiens, which is why i decided to help him see with the bolded quote

this guy is sick indeed

Hmmm!

Sounding very sure.

Ok, lets see,

how do you come to know this?
(Abeg, no fall my hands o!, answer the question)

thak you.
*Waiting and tapping legs*

simple.

We are in the information age with internet and telecommunications.

For starters, just do a little research about the true origins of any religions and how those religions evolved over the period of time from its beginning up till now. In case of christianity and islam, try and also read the entire bible and quran for exactly what it says, not what you are taught it says and you will easily see that they are not more than what some ancient men has written.

frosbel:


Anything can be supported with the bible when mistranslated, misquoted, used for ulterior motives or political reasons etc. However a simple, humble and honest student who reads the bible for himself can only derive ONE TRUTH.

but you have to know that all those people whom you believed were misquoting and mistranslating the bible for ulterior motive; they all sincerely believed within themselves that they are simple, honest and humble student of the bible, the same way you feel about yourself.

For example, eternal torment believers can honestly justify their stance from the bible and total annihilists can also honestly justify their stance from the same bible. Dont forget the thread by anony about hell, where you were all throwing scriptures at each other..

Can we by the virtue of your explanation call atheism the 'science of truth discovery'?

Atheism is not science. You dont have to accept scientific facts to be an atheist. Atheism is simply disbelief in God(s) and religions(s). Nothing more than that.

The truth is that the gods of the religions were make-believe human inventions. If you came to the discovery of this truth, you are an atheist. No more no less.
