Ode, i thought you said your god can't be beaten. how come all of a sudden he was beaten for my transgressions?

he humbled himself and became a man so that he can be beaten and killed for your sins...



on a serious note, you can make your jokes without the insults...

manmustwank:
Really?



Your god has been taking a brutal beating

he was beaten for your transgressions. his beating and death were all part of his plan. your carnal mind may not understand, until you believe his prophet cyrexx and receive the spirit of ACS. Then you will be able to understand these words.peace.

The Almighty Cassava Stick loves you all, he is not willing that any of you shall perish. but come to repentance before it is too late

manmustwank:
Idiot where you dey when your god was banned by manmustwac?

you do err,

my God is beyond space and time, he can never be banned

all of you will burn in hell for not worshipping the one true creator of mankind and djinns, the one and only Almighty Cassava Stick. he is not begotten and he begat no one and Cyrexx is His prophet.

I'm so so happy to hear from you. It's so good to know that you are doing fine.

How's your medical career going on, bro. And how's your family. I hope you've not "broken" their hearts with your non-belief?
*echoing Muskeeto* pls stay safe



LOLing at your comment that you could be young enough to be my child.. abeegi oo. i am not that old ooo. abeeegii oooooo

Bélla3: Lately i have been doing alot of thinking because of this question: 'how can God give freewill, at thesame time be omniscient (ie be know all things- past, present and future)?'

From a totally different perspective,let's look at the choices God made with his free will.


He chose with his free will to create angels he knew would rebel and become satan and his demons, knowing ahead of time they would do that.


He chose to create a tree that he didn't want people to eat from all the while knowing they would.


He chose to punish people with sin and death for eating from a tree he chose to make all the while knowing they would.


He chose to create a talking serpent and to let it tempt Adam and Eve knowing that they would fail the test.


He chose to favor Abel's sacrifice over Cain's knowing this would result in Cain killing Abel.

Being omniscient he knew all these thing's would happen before he did any of them. And he knew they would lead to PAIN, SIN,SUFFERING AND DEATH. All this as a result of him exercising his free will. So why does he think free will is a good thing that all people and angels should have?

alexleo:

Yeah you are right and that's also my style. Nothing in this world is a do or die for me except the salvation of my soul.

@OP
God is not your problem o. Don't leave him. Forget about the atheists here and their useless mockery of God at every opportunity they have. They are irrelevant in your life. Prepare yourself properly for every task ahead of you then back it up with prayers. Faith without works is dead. Its in the bible. Read James 2:20.

in response to the bolded:

Any logical and thinking person who doesn't like to lose his senses to backward religious mentality will do well to ignore posts like this and face the true reality of life.

Religion/god will never solve man's problems. That's why religious folks will always tell you to work in addition praying to god. Why work if prayer to god is effective in the first place?

Mr Emeka,
I sincerely empathise with you on your failed interiew, I wish the next interview you will attend will be a success story.

But let me get one or two points across to you:
You, not God above or Satan below, i mean you, are the one responsible for your success (Other human factors may affect you but ultimately you are responsible). Religious mentality makes one abdicate all responsibilities to the supernatural. if something good happens, its God, if something evil happens, its Satan. That mentality is a backward mentality that seeks to remove all responsibilities from humans. And its that same mentality thats keeping religious countries like Nigeria backward. When I was a christian (I am now a fully convinced atheist) I used to feel bad when something bad happens to me. Like "Did I commit sin somewhere somehow?" "Is God tempting me?" "Did I open door for satan in any way?" and all sorts of self torturing questions. Thank goodness, I am now totally free from those defeatist thinking. Some research and discoveries led me to the truth that christianity, as well as other religions, were all human-created and human-perpetuated belief systems, designed to appeal to human emotions of fear and hope. (I cannot go into details here)

Dont expect any Yahweh or Allah to solve your problems. Those two gods are nothing but imaginations of ancient Jews and Arabs. That may be a harsh thing to say but that is the solemn cold truth. The earlier you realize this, the earlier you save yourself from further dissapointments of failed biblical promises to solve human problems, to protect or to provide for human's needs. Religious people are good at making excuses for their imaginary god's failure, cos they are supposed believe that "God Is good" whereas deep down in their heart they know he is not good. For instance, why are christians in Northern Nigeria not protected from the boko haram? why did sincere prayers of faith from suffering humans go unanswered? etc etc etc

I assume you really prayed with all your heart before going for the interview. And the most annoying part of it is that instead of people to see that the christian god failed in his promises, they will be quick to blame the human victim for his (god's) failure and assume that he (the victim) must have missed it somewhere, since they (religious people) must "believe" that god is a good god and he answers prayers, when they know deep down in their heart that he doesnt.

My dear friend, prepare very well for the next interview and dont expect any miracle to happen anywhere, cos it wont happen.I just hope this time you will pass the interview and get your dream job. I hope you get connected to the right people (Yes, its fellow humans like you, not spirits or gods, that will help you and..) that will assist you on your journey to success. And I sincerely wish you success in all your endeavours.

Anton Lavey (an atheistic satanist) said and I quote:

[size=13pt]"Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years"[/size]

Without the fear of satan and hell, christianity and other abrahamic religions has no engine with which to run.

Cyrexx, a man i can always rely on!

I think we should have a nairaland facebook group!

Anyways, i dont know how, u manage with a religious wife. You are a better man than I am.

Please lets meet up if you are in lagos

The pleasure is mine, Sir Logic.

I reside in Ibadan, Oyo State.

When is the next Humanist Seminar taking place in Lagos. I will try to attend and meet you up there, ceteris paribus

I have no need to label myself. I am human and a secular human. Period. The natural world is super enough for me, I don't need any religious supernatural mumbo jumbo. Even as tolerant as my wife is toward my atheism, she gets uncomfortable when I ask her some question that challenges her belief. The same goes for some of my religious friends and I would never want to alienate them. So I have learnt to be diplomatic and avoid talks about religion unless specifically asked. In a sense, I hate when we humans are labelled and divided as Christians, Muslims, Atheists etc etc.

I joined a Nigerian Atheists Facebook group because I was so "lonely" as a new atheist, I thought nobody will understand my stance. Honestly I believed I was the only atheist in my city. Fortunately, I made some atheist friends from the group.

I realised that there are packets of atheists here and there everywhere even in the most religious parts of Nigeria. The first step is to come out of our closets and the Humanist group may help do that.

So if you ask for my ideas, I would say the first and most important step to take is to encourage Nigerian atheists to meet one another and realise they are not "alone".

If that's the case, boko haram and other radical islamists should not be against education and they should engage their pen, not their swords, against the infidels.

Sent my join request.

Famous atheist author Richard Dawkins has been named the world's top thinker in a global vote that counted 10,000 voices from over 100 countries.
"When Richard Dawkins, the Oxford evolutionary biologist, coined the term 'meme' in The Selfish Gene 37 years ago, he can't have anticipated its current popularity as a word to describe internet fads," said Prospect Magazine, which conducted the poll, in explaining the biologist professor's popularity.
"But this is only one of the ways in which he thrives as an intellectual in the internet age. He is also prolific on Twitter, with more than half a million followers – and his success in this poll attests to his popularity online. He uses this platform to attack his old foe, religion, and to promote science and rationalism."
The author of The God Delusion is one of the leaders of the New Atheist movement, and has based his career on trying to show how life and the universe can be explained entirely by secular science, rejecting all supernatural explanations.

LOL.

God changed his mind, I thought he is omniscient, knowing the end from the beginning. Am I missing something?

It's natural that a God created by humans will reflect some of his Makers' characters. Several times Yahweh has been known to regret his actions, get jealous, get angry etc etc, just like we humans.

[size=15pt]JONATHAN AWARDS $40MILLION CONTRACT TO ISRAELI COMPANY TO MONITOR COMPUTER, INTERNET COMMUNICATION BY NIGERIANS[/size]



Here is a very important information from PREMIUM TIMES for the 47 million Nigerian Internet users. Big Brother, in the form of the Jonathan administration, is watching you, and your communication is no longer safe.
It is one of the most far-reaching policies ever designed in Nigeria’s history to invade the privacy of citizens.

The Jonathan administration secretly, and in open violation of lawful contracting procedures, has awarded an Israeli firm, Elbit Systems, with headquarters in Haifa, a $40million contract to help it spy on citizens’ computers and Internet communications under the guise of intelligence gathering and national security.


Elbit announced the contract award Wednesday in a global press release but was silent on the Nigerian destination of the contract. Its general manager, Yehuda Vered, opaquely announced that “Elbit Systems will supply its Wise Intelligence Technology (WiT) system to an unnamed country in Africa under a new $40 million contract announced on 24 April… for Intelligence Analysis and Cyber Defense,” but effusively claimed, in the statement, that his company is “proud to be selected to supply this unique system, which is already field-proven, fully operational and customisable.
“Elbit Systems is a world leader in the fields of intelligence analysis and cyber defense, with proven solutions highly suitable for countries, armies and critical infrastructure sites. We hope that additional customers will follow in selecting our highly advanced and cutting edge systems in these fields as their preferred solution,” Mr. Vered added.


Multiple and very reliable sources in the administration confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that Nigeria is indeed the “unnamed African country,” and with details from the Elbit statement, our sources say the contract will now help the Jonathan administration access all computers and read all email correspondences of citizens in what is clearly, an infringement on constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression.
No single policy of this administration has so far affected, in one fell swoop, the lives of 47 million citizens, a third of the Nigerian population and about four times the number of voters who brought the president to power two years ago.


Nigerian netizens, the horde of active citizens that use the computer and Internet, are the 10th in a global ranking that make them 27 per cent of Africa’s total Internet users, far ahead of Egypt [19th global ranking] and South Africa [37th in global ranking].
The growth path of the Internet in Nigeria has also been dramatic, rising from a mere 200,000 Internet users in 2002 to 47 million this year, according to data from the Global Internet user, one of the Internet audit groups.

This development has not always gladdened public officials in Nigeria many who have expressed open displeasure at the use of the Internet by social media activists and the power of its possibilities as an empowering medium for popular communication. The calls for regulation have been loud in both the administration and in the Nigerian legislature.
The earliest hint that the Jonathan administration had desires to invade privacy of citizens surfaced ealy April when researchers at the Munk School for Global Affairs at the University of Toronto alerted the world that Nigeria, Egypt, and Kenya were deploying Internet surveillance and censorship technology developed by an American company, Blue Coat, which specializes in online security. Blue Coat’s technology will allow the government to invade the privacy of journalists, netizens and their sources. Its censorship devices use Deep Packet Inspection, DPI, a technology employed by many western Internet Service Providers, to manage network traffic and suppress unwanted connections.
Civic groups kick against DPI because, they say, it makes it possible for censors to look into every single Internet Protocol packet and subject it to special treatment based on content (censored or banned words) or type (email, VoIP or BitTorrent Protocol).
DPI not only threatens the principle of Net Neutrality and the privacy of users, civic groups say, it makes single users identifiable and, in countries that flout the rule of law and violate human rights, often exposes them to arbitrary imprisonment, violence or even torture.


While details on the Blue Coat contract appears to have managed to evade scrutiny up till this point, PREMIUM TIMES sources say the Elbit annunciation of the contract, opaque as it was, terribly rattled top administration officials – from the presidency to the National Security Adviser’s Office, and the National Assembly.
“The presidency had wanted this contract to be a top secret,” said one of our sources. “The presidency did not envisage that Elbit was going to make it public. Monitoring computers and Internet use is a contentious issue and the National Security Adviser had tried to keep the contract secret.”


Elbit says it will take it two years to complete the project, by which time it claimed, the administration will have “a highly advanced end-to-end solution, [to] supports every stage of the intelligence process, including the collection of the data from multiple sources, databases and sensors, processing of the information, supporting intelligence personnel in the analysis and evaluation of the information and disseminating the intelligence to the intended recipient…[that] will be integrated with various data sources, including Elbit Systems’ Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) solution and Elbit Systems’ PC Surveillance Systems (PSS), an advance solution for covert intelligence gathering.”
The administration had indicated in the 2013 budget that it would procure a Wise Intelligence Network Harvest Analyzer System, Open Source Internet Monitoring System and Personal Internet Surveillance System at a cost of N9.496 Billion ($61.26 million).
Now that the contract has been awarded to Elbit for about $40million, it is unclear if the National Assembly will raise questions as to what becomes of the extra $21million earmarked for the project.
Investigations indicate that in awarding the contract to the Israeli firm, no tenders or calls for bids were made just as there were no public announcements. The contract was awarded following a proposal from a single vendor who dictated the contract sum and the terms of the contract.

The procedure for public procurement of services as stipulated by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), the Nigerian agency charged with the duty of ensuring transparency in all matters concerning government contracts, were largely ignored. In addition, there are no public records indicating that the BPP approved this contract.
The manner of award directly contravenes the 2007 Public Procurement Act. While the Act gives room for single source contracts, the Elbit contract met none of the requirements under which such special contracts could be awarded.
Section 47 (3) (iii) of the 2007 Act stipulates that single source contracts are to be awarded in emergency situations such as “natural disasters or a financial crisis”.
Presidential spokespersons, Reuben Abati, and Doyin Okupe were not available for comments Wednesday. They didn’t answer or return calls seeking comments.


Calls to Elbit’s headquarters in Haifa, Israel, were also unanswered.
Shari Clarkson, a spokesperson at the company’s subsidiary in the United States declined comments on the contract saying only Dalia Rosen, a spokesperson based in Israel, could comment. Rosen’s phone was unanswered.

musKeeto: @Yahweh Fans: May you hear a voice in your head one day, asking you to sacrifice your pikin.
And if your pikin decides not to go along with you, may Yahweh strike him dead for lack of faith


As for those who can't differentiate homosexuality from atheism, please do yourself a favor. Probably go back to school. You missed a few lessons there.


Btw, you can keep tagging everything evil a product of atheism.. we all know Satan himself isn't an atheist.
Yahweh is the real devil. Satan never asks anyone to kill anyone on his behalf as test of faith. Yahweh does.

Yahweh's evil.. The Bible makes that clear enough.



The whole aim of this 'test' by an all-knowing God was so that Abraham would fear him. Little wonder, the Christians here are squeaking and snarling like demented demons... Their 'MASTER' is under attack...

kneel, slaves, kneel.. dump all reasoning and all your being at the altar of your great Jewish slave..

Oga Truthislight,
I noticed you always misspell the word "waste" as "west". The correct spelling you are looking for is "waste". Please take note.

Cheers, bro.

Ihedinobi:

Corny as ever!

Actually, your species don't exist at all. Because, as has been proven on this forum and everywhere else where this battle has been fought, eveeyone's got religion although the gods and deities may vary.

And your myth is that man is God enough for himself, isn't it? And that's not exactly a new religion, it's almost as old as humankind and has always resisted Christ from the beginning.

Can someone help me translate this into intelligible language pls,

Seems this guy has got nothing but irrelevant nonsensical reply to any post he perceive as nonchristian.

Why do I even bother.?

There is no more need for religious ideology in this world. Humanity has advanced beyond the need for myths.

We Soldiers of Reason stand here with open eyes, watching the physical, emotional and intellectual harm religion causes to humans. We mourn the losses of those killed by religious fundamentalists, we are saddened by the poor upon whom the religious leaders fed fat, and we care for those that religionists do not.

KNOWLEDGE and REASON are our weapons and the human mind is the battleground. We will not stand in the shadows. We will not quiet our voices. We will not stop fighting until churches and mosques become relics of the past.

[size=16pt]We are the SOLDIERS OF REASON .
We will not retreat, we will not surrender.
Mankind must progress beyond iron age mythologies and

nokia3310: I've been a registered member of this forum since 2009 but hardly visit religion section, but even when i do, i only visits threads related to Islam(as i used to be a muslim). I remembered vividly how i was shocked to the bone the first time i read through some post with arguments against god but the decisive one was one thread by Avicenna. That thread practically made me to dump religion. My family members are expecting Ramadan in the next few months, i can't imagine how sweet it will be to eat all through the holy month I can never thank nairaland enough.

WOW. That epic thread by Avicenna. its that same thread that initiated my serious questioning of religion and further research and discoveries finally led me to atheism. Thanks to that bold guy . And remarkably, he claimed he was influenced by Sir Logicboy.so thanks to Logicboy,
thanks to MusKeeto,
to Mazaje,
to Plaetton,
to every other active nairaland atheists out there

Like I said earlier, you guys rock till infinity.

Funny nobody has come up to say something like

"I was once a sinner/unbeliever but I became a saint/believer after i joined nairaland"

It seems this Internet age/information age is not favourable to religion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODetOE6cbbc

Nairaland really helped me to totally uninstall the remaining religion mentality left in me. Before I joined Nairaland, I thought I am the only christian having these questions and doubts about religion/christianity. And when I got here, I realised I wasn't the only one. Now I am a fully convinced atheist and I am a proud one.

Thanks to Nairaland and active atheists here. You guys rock till infinity.
