Most atheist (especially on nairaland) are some of the most pretentious and repressed homosexuals i've ever known
The only reason why they believe GOD doesn't exist is because of what the read on the internet.

In a typical athiest mind : "if it is written on the internet or by a white man, then it must be true. "

And the bible was written by who? Your ancestors?

menix:
The truth is that ur introverted personality makes u look like doondi in a fast pace work place..

Secondly, ur mistakes sends the signal that u re dull which u Might not be.

Thirdly, working in an environment where inter-personal skill is required won't be ideal for your personality.

I once had a colleague like you, his dondiness made me like him cous I controlled him nd could use him to commit.
The management managed him cous they believed him coming from Badagry to apapa everyday made him dull until he got transferred to another branch were he started his 1st day with query.

This is the funniest story I have read in a while. Dondiness? Badagry to Apapa made him dull? 1st day with query?

They believe they actually believe there is no Flying spaghetti monster.

What works for them is believing they have succeeded in lying to themselves that there is no Flying spaghetti monster.

Lastly, they think they overcome their difficulties by googling and attacking those who believe in Flying spaghetti monster.

There. Fixed that for you.

aManFromMars: God, demons and Satan love to breed in gullible minds.

You stop to believe in God and he moves out with his faithful servant Lucifer, JesUs,Gabriel and friends.

When bad things happen to us, we know the solution will not come by swimming miracle water or sowing seed faith offerings. When we go broke, we check our spending habits not blame it on some mythical devourers that are God's EFCC for tithe defrauders. When bad things happen to us, we understand that it is a cycle of life not punishment from some jobless omnipotent being.


DEMONS are afraid of reason and knowledge.

You hit the nail on the head

Case of what we believe to be real. Some keep believing even if real facts and reason tell otherwise. A kilogram of lead weighs as much a kilogram of cotton. Fact. Even if it seems otherwise. All powerful GOOD and LOVING god that permits evil. Fact? Maybe. But escuses have to be made. You can believe in santa claus or the WWE (yes the WWE). OK. But PLEASE keep your stupidity to yourself. Christians,especially, in the mornings on my way to work. Had to say.

texanomaly: Science vs. God

Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.' The atheist Professor of Philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.'

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes.'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent.


'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

'Let's start again, young fella Is God good?'

'Er...yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student : 'From...God...'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'

'Yes.'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues: 'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'

The student: 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. 'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice is confident: 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not.'

'Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes.'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I have my faith.'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own. Professor, is there such thing as heat?'

'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.'

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness ?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.' 'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'

'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do'

'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.

'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.' The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter.

' Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?' Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.'


'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?'

Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's in humanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir , or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'

The professor sat down.

Trying to prove God exists with logic. Can NOT work. With all the long story we end up with 'Evil is simply the absence of God'. But God can not be absent. God is everywhere and every place. God is supposed to be in charge.

cronsberg: listen guys,this is my field since am a perfect leykis 101 student here it goes...
"nice guys get women only in movies. reality is the exact opposite"
No woman likes a nice guy. If she tells you she wants a nice guy, ask her how old is she? she will definitely be above 30yrs of age.
Every woman will tell you nice guys will win at the end since women only marry nice guys,(as if marriage is some kind of winning). infact is that really winning? think about it ! when she was in her prime 18-25 years she will never give a second look to the nice guy, all the while ba.nging her youth away with a "bad boy", in other words the bad boy was the b.ars.tard that enjoyed her fresh young body (oh those supple b.reasts like fresh bread out of the oven ) .

but when she's getting towards 30yrs and wrinkles/sagging start to appear in places that matter she then decides to give the nice guy a chance, but unbeknown to the nice guy, he's been cheated by accepting leftovers to tie him down for the rest of his life. Note that the only reason the woman will give him the chance is that no bad boy wants her anymore, cuz she's considered old, and the bad boys proceed to hotter younger chicks, so either way the nice guy always loose.

the only true way is to be a typical jerk/badboy

I can not fit laugh. LMAO

Insult? He just rated the damned article! Rating = BULLSHIT

The harsh comment was banter thing. Even though dying ain't a good thing.

Of course I know about this woman. My dad came to England during her time as prime minister and I know it was very hard for him and he just basically suffered.

Heaven = Very good thing
Death = Prerequisite to heaven

Death must be good

To explain the love of my creator, I am alive sound and healthy is that not enough reason that God(MY CREATOR) loves me? ? ?

Emeth: Be warned you all that revel in a fake existence, which is of the belief that God is non-existent and christians are brainwashed idiots whose beliefs are grounded in fallacies.
You ought to reaslise that just because the world hasn't come to an end and you have been hearing messages of the rapture since ages ago; doesn't mean that God is just a myth.
He is longsuffering to-us-ward and doesn't want anyone to perish. Never make the mistake of mistaken that for slackness on His part.
Civilizations in the past made the same mistake and they never lived to tell the story. It happened in the time of Noah. It happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. And it is most definitely inevitable that it will happen again.
Peter foretold the coming of the scoffers (so called 'atheist' - II Peter 3:3) in the last days.
Be warned! Beware!!
I must ask: which do you prefer between this two? 1. To die believing that there is a God and find out there is no God or 2. To die claiming heaven and hell are just figments of imagination and end up being condemned to hell for lack of believe.
Whatever you think you know or don't know, one thing is definitely sure - 'nothing is more real than God, and heaven and hell are certainties, not presumptions'. The time is short, and it is quickly ticking by.... Make your choice and embrace the consequence . The decision is personal and not collective. Stay blessed.

onetrack: I will pray for all of you atheists. Otherwise, my all-merciful, all-loving, and benevolent God will strike you down and burn you forever and ever and ever in the hottest fires of hell if you don't find blind faith in one of his religions.

Trying to scare someone into blind faith? Nice strategy. Works well for nigerians.

Paranoia?

This is what you get from a classic religious bi*ch (probably on heat) trying to talk about 'Things to ponder about this God'. Well I pray to the God you want us to believe in to save you. Amen.

Oahray: @op, GBAM!
There is overwhelming evidence all around us, of intelligent design (creation) by a creator.
Even if there wasnt, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

To think atheists claim to be logical minds.

Even if intelligent design proves humans were created. Does it prove creation by one god? We could have well have been engineered by a group of gods, demi gods, demi demi gods, some intelligent and advanced alien race. Who knows and can prove for sure? . Choose what you want to believe but apply simple logic and the books are nonsense.

obadiah777: WITHOUT EVIL THERE CANNOT BE FREEWILL. AND I REPEAT, THIS IS A SELECTION PROCESS BASED ON MERIT ( FAITH AND WORKS ). NEVER MIND THE LANGUAGE USED IN THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN PARABOLIC WORDS. THATS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. IF THE BIBLE WAS OBVIOUS THEN EVERY TOM DICK AND HARRY WILL JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON. THE LORD IS NOT LOOKING FOR EVERY TOM DICK AND HARRY. HE IS LOOKING FOR A SELECT FEW. MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN. SEE THE MISTAKE YOU MAKE IS IN THINKING THE LORD WANTS EVERYBODY IN RULERSHIP OF HIS KINGDOM TO BE ESTABLISHED ON EARTH AFTER THIS ONE. HE DOES NOT. HE WANTS A TINY AMOUNT. TO GET THIS TINY AMOUNT, EVERYTHING HE DOES HAS TO BE HIDDEN SO THAT ONLY THE DILIGENT CAN FIND IT. THE WHOLE 'FREEWILL' 'AND SATAN' AND 'ABILITY TO BE TEMPTED' IS ALL PART OF THE WEEDING OUT PROCESS. ITS PART OF THE PLAN

So what happened to 'We are all God's children'?

obadiah777: ALL IN THE BIBLE. NOT MY IDEAS. ITS HAPPENING ALL AROUND YOU. OPEN YOUR EYES. THE BIBLE IS ABOUT REAL LIFE NOT SOME VIRTUAL WORLD. WE ARE LIVING IN BIBLICAL DAYS. WHAT THE BIBLE IS TALKING ABOUT IS HAPPENING ALL AROUND YOU. OPEN YOUR EYES SOMETIMES. WHO CAME INTO THE WORLD FIRST ? NEGROS. WHO CAME LATER ? THE DIFFERENT RACES. AND WHEN THE OTHER RACES CAME ABOUT WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE NEGROS ? I WOULDNT GO INTO WHAT THEY DID 2000 YEARS AGO BECAUSE SOME OF YOU ARE TOO SHALLOW TO GO THAT FAR BACK BUT LETS GO INTO RECENT MEMORY LIKE SAY FROM THE 1600s. THEY ENSLAVED THE NEGROS, KILLED AND LYNCHED, COLONIALISM, PLUNDERED, UNFAIR TRADE ETC ETC. THESE ARE THE HEATHENS. THEY ARE NATURALLY WICKED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MADE NATURALLY FROM THE EARTH LIKE THE NEGROS. THE LORD MADE THEM THAT WAY SO THAT THEIR WICKEDNESS CAN BE USED TO CORRECT THE FIRST PEOPLE HE CREATED BECAUSE OF THEIR NUMEROUS SINS ( HABBAKUK 1 VS 12 ) ( 2 SAMUEL 7 VS 14 ) ( PSALMS 17 VS 13 ).

SO YOU CAN SEE THESE THINGS HAPPENING ALL AROUND YOU. THERE IS A REASON WHY THE WHITE MAN AND OTHER RACES ARE ABOVE YOU. THERE IS A REASON WHY YOU ARE A PERPETUAL PLUNDER. ALL THESE THINGS ARE EXPLAINED IN THE BIBLE. THERE IS A REASON WHY EVERYTHING HAPPENS. IF YOU ARE A DILIGENT HUMBLE PERSON THE LORD WILL OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE. MAYBE THEN YOU WILL STOP IN THIS FOLLY CALLED ATHEISM.

ANYWAY SO SCRIPTURE SAYS THE GODLY PEOPLE HAVE BECOME ( IN THE LAST DAYS ) MORE UNGODLY THAN THE UNGODLY. YOU CAN SEE THAT AROUND YOU. WHO IS THE MOST EVIL AND MOST BARBARIC PEOPLE AROUND TODAY ? NEGROS. THEY HAVE BECOME MORE BARBARIC AND EVIL THAN THE NATURALLY EVIL WHITES ARABS CHINESE AND JAPANESE. <<< ALL IN THE BIBLE. IF YOU CANT SEE THE WHOLE WORLD WHEN YOU ARE READING THE BIBLE, THE LORD IS NOT WORKING WITH YOU.

HOWEVER THERE IS A REASON WHY THE NEGROS HAVE BECOME MORE UNGODLY THAN THE UNGODLY >>>> DEUTERONOMY 28 VS 50-56

Definately not on igbo. Sounds like a true believer. Some uncommon new form of biblical belief?

ROSSIKE:

Exactly. He didn't even have the power to see 'Adam' hiding in the bush. (''Adam where art thou''?)

Why?

Because the 'God' of the bible IS NOT GOD. Perhaps some advanced being or powerful alien potentate with significantly advanced technology.

BUT NOT GOD.

Very funny.

BOBO

Delafruita: confusion of gargantuan proportion.if dumbos look at the earth and say 'this world is so beautiful and precise there has to be a creator" why not apply the same logic to god?who created the perfect god?

IntresTING

Please can someone tell me when Jesus is coming and how he would come? Preachers keep on ranting in the bus that he is coming someday. How would he come? Mystically with angels and some loud trumpeting? Or would he have to be born again via a natural means? You know impregnating some virgin who gives birth to him. Then grows up performing some miracles, declares himself god before taking the believers to heaven? How would he take the believers to heaven? Lets say there are give or take one billion certified believers (Children get a free pass). Teleportation? Spaceship? Shazam (magic)? Answers anyone?
