muafrika:
I will speak for Christians. Becausr some religions are chaotic on purpose. Why do you believe Christianity should be concerned with ordering economic, social and political systems that are not even Godly by design?

muafrika:
Religion is not always conviction,

Rilwayne001:
What have I done?

johnydon22:
I have once discussed with a christian who was laughing at the idea of a golden apple that bestows immortality in greek mythology. . . i was like WTF and this same person believes there is a fruit in a perfect garden called eden that also bestows immortality. . .imagine the irony, he is laughing at himself.

Religious beliefs are somewhat of a comedy skeet if you look at it directly...lol..

johnydon22:
again what about the idea that god shut man out of the garden of eden so they won't eat the fruit of eternal life and live forever then promises man eternal life when you die. . . people don't really think about what they believe

frank317:
Of course I haven't... Isn't this the first time I am hearing that God switches his foreknowledge ability off and on? The thing you don't realize is that this new personality is like a mockery to a whole Almighty creator.
Accept it... You are not God and you can't sit in the comfort of your room and cook up a personality for him just to make sense of you mythical belief.
No one knows the exact beginning or creator of the world and it cannot be a personality switching ghost. If you engage me I will make you realize you know nothing.

davidylan:
they have no arguments. That's why they whine about supernatural every 2 seconds... outside of that, they cant confidently discuss the scientific evidence so they have to hide under the thin skirts of noise making and false outrage.

frank317:
Wow!!! This is a nice piece. Some people get sense sha.

Reyginus:
I am talking about the spiritual afflictions some Nigerians claim to encounter in their daily lives and the miraculous. The Juju they claim that is affecting their lives. The demonic possessed and spirit filled ones.

I have seen a boy, a Muslim boy, my hostel mate then, who they say was possessed and hitting an object around him inflicts pain on him but hitting him touches the Jinns operational in him. I hope you get my point.

These work for them. They attribute it to a God or God.

What really happens here? Is it that they are all blind and psychotic or these acts are science? Or am I blind myself? How logical would it be to dismiss these claims because we want them to be verified by our own means?

sportsmaster:
from your statements,i think you Just wanna experiment the Power of God.
You think the Healing Power of God is a like an experiment? no its Not,..she cant get healed because you are not in "Faith".
If you believe God that she will be healed,then she will be healed.
You want me to perform an experiment with the Power of God.
Lol.

You have to be in faith.
Without Faith you cannot receive,You have to believe God for her healing .

You also want to taste the Goodness of God.?

I cant waste my time on someone who is not in FAITH.

sportsmaster:
Have you got any sick person in your house?i can pray for them.
Just be sincere and give me their name.

johnydon22:
Wonderfully constructed, captivating and beautiful and very inciting. . .Unfortunately a religious mind wouldn't pay mind to it, we have done our best to show out these flaws in religions but the answer always remains the same. . .Hope all reads this

sportsmaster:
Are you so hurt by my testimonies.

sportsmaster:
For example someone like me,
i have opened "deaf ears" once.
I have interceeded for a sibling that was pronounced dead and she came to life.

Reyginus:
I am not talking just about prayers. A connection with the supernatural can also be one. Are you a Nigerian?

Reyginus:
But some of these Gods respond when prayed to. Or what do you think happens?

Reyginus:
Very Good. But then join me in reexamining your previous claim. Can there be a lack of knowledge and presence of knowledge at the same time?

As in, can the ' I don't know position' mean that you know that God doesn't exist?
I mean can one be neutral and still take side at the same time?

In essence, can premise A and B be the truth if they disagree?

Reyginus:
Yahweh. Good. Addressed them through public speech. Good. Fight alongside them. Good. We are close now.

Do you think their is a higher intelligence, in any form, responsible for the coming of our universe and existence or you don't think that our universe is a product of higher intelligence in any form?

Reyginus:
Literally? Which God is this you are talking about?

UyiIredia:
No, God is eternal. He has always existed.

Reyginus:
How would you want a God to be shown to exist? I mean a God.

Reyginus:
Good. So tell me, how did you get to this level of certainty of his nonexistence?

frank317:
I am tempted to call you mumu. I employ deep thinking not because I am irreligious but because it is needed when I write my non fiction stories... Click on my profile, read one of my stories and see if you would not be awed.

Reyginus:
How sure are you?

frank317:
My dad is a pastor and I was brought up in a deep religious deeper life kind of way. I always hated church and was always fascinated by atheistic comments. Yet I never thought I would ever doubt the existence of a creator.
I am a deep thinker and a fiction writer... I thought religious stories would make nice interesting stories hence my stories always betrays this thought.
Religious section opened my eyes and paved the way for my thoughts. Here I meet intelligent atheist who are constructive in their way of talking and who actually make use of their brains.
I also met very few intelligent theists which is quite interesting.
Finally... Nigeria is a crazy country where even the well educated behave like adamant illiterate. Nairaland religious section is my escape from the stupidity of Nigerians who think just believing in God makes u perfect hence they wallow in ignorance and accept their sufferings while they die slowly. Here u find people who reason and actually make use of their brains which is a great relief from the delusion people around me swim in. Now I miss pple like crexx, logic boy, amanfrommars, etc. Well the new once are doing perfectly great too.
And ohhh.... Theist just help make me understand that a disbelieve in Gos makes perfect sense. How? Read such silly questions like...how are u sure God don't exist? Or how did u come to this world??

plaetton:
Are you serious?
Lol.
A lady whom I had known for a few years recently invited me for some special program at her church. I politely declined. She kept insisting and kept asking why. I kept dodging the question because I knew what it was going to lead us.
After much heckling, I finally told her that I was an atheist.
This lady almost fainted. Lol.
She had never met an atheist in her Life. She didn't even believe it was possible not to believe in god and still be alive.
Thereafter, the preaching and arguments began. I went gentle with her. But by the time the debate was over (she gave up), she looked like someone who had had an encounter with a scary alien from another planet.
What is so interesting now is the way she looks at me. Deep, awe and for some of reason, with greater respect.
