Christianity EtcRe: All Atheists, Why Did You Become An Atheist? by davien(m): 6:06pm On Jun 19, 2016
[b] Atheism to me looking back all my years of a Christian, I could say was a gradual step..

I attended church regularly, read the Bible in my free time and devoted myself to abstaining from sin..

Being a "nerd" as of then and now I had always been very curious.

I asked questions concerning the various denominations of christianity and why people just blindly believed one interpretation over another, and why anyone would be in trouble just for asking about the truthfulness of the Bible itself..

Nevertheless I still believed in the christian god and even went on challenging atheists in debates about it... time over time something so trivial as logic knocked every supposed "argument for the Christian god", including science and history itself.

It also didn't help that fellow believers don't known basic facts like the first half of the Bible being taken straight from Judaism... and an idea as a single couple populating the earth were a complete biological impossibility due to the less genetic diversity hurdle they would face against common mutations, bacterial and viral diseases...

The day that blew it all for me was the "something from nothing argument"... seems pretty airtight till examined for its own inconsistencies... from there it was a defining bar that the god presented to me had no basis for belief... so I investigated other concepts and they were just as baseless...

And to make things worse to believe in things like god/gods one has to either denigrate human beings as lesser creatures or scum making it easier to discriminate and perform acts of violence on fellow human beings or lie and continuously form a blind eye to gaping holes in the belief out of fear of punishment,being an outcast or out of one's ego or "love" for the belief.

Christianity EtcRe: Nairaland Atheism E-warriors Can Be $1million Richer By Just Explaining This. by davien(m): 12:02am On Jun 19, 2016
[b] With over a billion nerve cells in the brain all interacting together at once and responding differently it's just not possible.. .. it would be the equivalent of asking you to explain 100% accurately all the molecules in the air and their individual interaction with the earth to produce the weather..

A feat which in real life makes weather forecast constrained over longer periods of time.

So as the example, perception and things like ideas are the far-side that we know neurones produce but find it tasking to point the exact process.

Even without knowing every neurones part in perception it's been determined the regions of the brain where things like fears, conscience and many more come from, something the ancient Jewish theologians believed comes from the heart... yes the heart that pumps blood.

So the lack of understanding of this is not sufficient for a plea to the supernatural or anything else but our own ignorance.

The million bucks is just a red herring, irrelevant to the question entirely.. . merely a bait for fans(like the op) who follow his line of thinking to chatter on about the wager. [/b]

I'm sure the author of this post doesn't understand what Christianity is all about.

Remember Christianity is different from Judaism
Really? But you still have and believe the Jewish Torah as your old testament and venerate Jewish prophets. grin

Silly question!

Can a selfish person give his life to redeem men from sin and destruction?

That's what Jesus did for you asking a silly question. angry
How is it a sacrifice when it planned everything and wasn't ever mortal in the first place?... according to the theology of course.

rejosom:
Oga abeg no slap me.

Well, that is exactly what I am...trying to make sense of these intra-Christian fights. I see it as a pointer to something. ... something the church fathers won't tell us. I'm no longer interested in knowing who is right or wrong between the numerous Christian denominations and between Christians and numerous other religions. I only want to know why. Why the multiplicity?
The same reason,not all humans have the same minds... we are all different in conclusions and thinking.. so what do you think happens when a religious book is open to interpretation? undecided

finalboss1:
[b]That’s what their beliefs come
down to. Some god or other is always fixing
and poking, messing around with
tradesmen’s wives, giving tablets on
mountains, commanding you to mutilate
your children, telling people what words
they can say and what words they can’t
say, making people feel guilty about
enjoying themselves, and like that. Why
can’t the gods leave well enough alone? All
this intervention speaks of incompetence. If
God didn’t want Lot’s wife to look back,
why didn’t he make her obedient, so she’d
do what her husband told her? Or if he
hadn’t made Lot such a shithead, maybe
she would’ve listened to him more. If God is
omnipotent and omniscient, why didn’t he
start the universe out in the first place so
it would come out the way he wants?
Why’s he constantly repairing and
complaining? No, there’s one thing the
Bible makes clear: The biblical God is a
sloppy manufacturer. He’s not good at
design, he’s not good at execution. He’d be
out of business if there was any
competition.[/b]
Yup, even think of it this way... Why would god if it's omniscient write down the entirety of its plan in a book including how it'll defeat the devil?

Because going by the same book the devil reads god's scriptures and all it has to do to "win" now is to never rebel(I. e the rebellion to take heaven in revelation) since it knows the outcome, it'll send more people to hell that way and the finite universe dies without a "judgement day"..

See how easily the so-called smartest being there ever was is easily outsmarted.. grin

No problem.......like I will usually say to "oversabi" folks like you, you will confess the truth that Jesus is Lord by the time you're dead and you find yourself in judgement before the same God whose existence you denied.

.....It's easy to be an atheist when you're successful on earth, but it's not easy to be an atheist when laying on your death bed. Cos from that point, all the truth about God you've always denied would come back staring you in the face, and you'll know you have no way to escape the truth very soon.
You can have as much interviews from my rotting corpse when I'm dead to ask it how real heaven/hell is, since to folks like you dead people can know and experience things. undecided

The death-bed plea is often the last scare tactic.

"Smart folk", you should have also reasoned that the finite brain you have was created and given to you by an Infinite God who created a finite you to live in a finite earth for a number of years. Your brain is only adapted to function in a finite world in which you live, so stop deceiving yourself by trying to use a finite brain to reason out an infinite God that gave you the little brain which is shacking you and making you feel you now know too much
How does having a finite brain predispose that a magical entity gave me one and it has one of its own talk less of an infinite one?

You jumped several tiers just to stop at an already made conclusion...

1. You know I have a brain... check.

2. You know my brain is finite... check.

So if you're learned enough to know those two you should also know that human beings develop through human beings... at no point in time did I become created by any deity,talk less of my brain...

Thanks. It just pains me that a lot of people don't understand this stuff and how impossible it is for science to be wrong. If the theory is wrong it is abandoned. People will make excuses for each verse in the bible or quran no matter how stupid it sounds. They still try to rationalize everything. loads of bollocks if you ask me
What you begin to realise after talking with creationists for so many years is that the truth doesn't matter to them... It's just about protecting the idea that the earth is 6000-10000 years old..

And they do this through many falsehoods like ;

Quote mining legit scientific papers to make it appear to support their case, an example being the famous Charles Darwin eye quote mine..

Actually sending contaminated samples to labs and then claiming since the results were whack therefore radiometric dating(particularly carbon dating) is wrong.

Spreading false tales like "paulaxy footprints" and dinosaur - human cohabitation... etc.

Lastly is ignoring or side-tracking anything that doesn't support their case.... that's why you'd still hear old fallacies rehashed like "intelligent design" and the likes.
Christianity EtcRe: God Is Dead by davien(m): 11:13am On Jun 13, 2016
And if we were to even date the moons age it corresponds with the earths 4.5 billion year age, the same moon that Abrahamic religions claim is younger from their Biblical interpretations...

The universe doesn't have room for god/gods as explanative features anymore...

well said @captainnigeria

Please I will like to ask What is the cheapest laptop with thunderbolt 3 and how much is the cheapest external graphics amp add those together with the graphics card and tell me if that isn't more expensive than a full desktop PC with that same card.

And if you have gamed at max you will no why they are obsessed just saying.
I play mad max on ultra and it's visually appealing, that's it... nothing more.

Laptops with thunderbolt 3 would be available in $300-400 cheapest.. desktop 1080 is a mere $500-600,prices which would still fall during summer and winter give aways..

I don't have to be immersed on ultra to enjoy games, it's fo0lish to brag on something so trivial as that to me over other people who're constrained either by budget or just preference...
Christianity EtcRe: How Could There Be Light Before The Sun And Moon Were Created? by davien(m): 5:19pm On Jun 12, 2016
LordCenturion:
Is this a Bible error?
THE BIBLE SAYS GOD CREATED LIGHT on the first day of Creation Week, yet the sun and moon were not created until the fourth day. How could light exist before the sun and moon were created?
I always think about this everyday , even Bible said GOD created two lights, one for the day, second one for the night , where is the second light after the sun?, because we can see that moon doesn't have any light but a reflection of the sun,although am a Christian but am still confused, I want a perfect answers to this two questions from my Christians brothers.

How could light exist before the sun and moon were created?

Where is the second light after the sun?
You've already answered yourself, the Bible got it wrong.
