With all the childish things you wrote up there I can't help but ask......when did you finish secondary school or are you still there?

Though my travelling experience is non of your experience but lemme just humour you. I have lived in PH and Enugu. Brief stays in Owerri, Mbaise, Okrika, Onitsha, Aba, Asaba, etc. Thats to let you know I know what I am talking about.
Ur brain must be slow, even after traveling to all these places u are comparing them to dead Ibadan. Ur case na sorry.

I guess when u went there the igbos stoned and insulted u wherever u go?

Well, come home and sell ur land to foreigners who are making money in ur backyard... Buyers de.

Have u ever traveled to any Igbo speaking area? U just sit here in Lagos and make baseless assumption. We are here because the cash is here. Ask the FG why they are scared of dredging river Niger? They are afraid of us abandoning Lagos and turning the east to mini London. They know with such power we can do anything.

U guys are funny, u need to give the Igbo's the respect they deserve. Look what they turned Lagos to in a couple of years. Can u achieve it while partying?

U laugh are ur lack of wisdom. Keep on enving while we are balling.

My people, the Yoruba, have one proverb that translates thus: person wey say he wan dash you cloth, you go first look the one wey hin wear for body. So is there a curse that prohibits you guys from developing your region but only other peoples?

See my friend you can't give what you dont have. Tell me one place, city or hamlet, in the east that can stand close to Ibadan in EVERYTHING talkless of Lagos. And majorly, apart from your state capitals there's hardly any place worth mentioning in the whole east.

Why leave your father in the gutters and build a mansion for mine?
U have shown the world that u have never traveled before, if u have,u wouldn't be asking such question. You cannot compare ur smelling Ibadan to Enugu or owerri.

I bet u don't even know the reason Igbo's will likely ensure they invest in Lagos. Let me school you... Population, cost of living, sea port. So why wouldn't a wise man invest in Lagos?
So u are not doing us a favour, we are doing ourselves a favour, while all u do is enjoy the beauty of ur place without owning anything.

Yes...Frank.
Something's wrong with me...(heard that a few times).
Prayer is not a "one-time" trick...where I pray once and poof...there's my answer.
God teaches us (patience, faith, trust, perseverance etc) through the art of praying. It's not always about "what we can get"....

I'm not a "numbers-sort-of-gal", so I'm not impressed by them.
I've come to know that "majority" oftentimes, doesn't equate to truth. It just equates to "a lot"..

We are even told in the Bible (and I'm paraphrasing) that "broad is the way that leads to destruction...and many there be that are on that path"...Matthew 7:13.

I guess I haven't been on the site long enough to know the tons of "Christians" who have been deceived....
You guys do work "overtime" though...especially on impressionable minds...who aren't firmly solid on what they believe.
Even if you could produce numbers, that would not phase me at all.
I have only known of one young lady...who I saw a recent change (within the 2 years of me being a member here), that I'm concerned about...and I made that known.
Obinna is the other person (that I know of) who consistently boasts of his "conversion"...unfortunately.
He's very proud and happy....so he says.

But the stories of (his, her) and many folks are not finished just yet..with all due respect.

Frank, that's not a proud thing to be on here boasting and partying about folks who you (and others) are leading to perdition...
Even if an atheist had a conversion back to Christianity he/she would probably be too frightened to speak about it on here.
Some "re-conversions", if I can loosely use that word, we will only know, when we make it into the Kingdom.

A lot of you guys and gals are very intelligent...but that will be the down-fall for some of you.
Trying to intellectually reason (with finite minds) and completely understand an infallible Creator.
It will never happen...
Which is why you guys have no peace.
Surrender so you can have that peace...it's crucial.
God doesn't "force"...the Holy Spirit touches hearts..and transforms them.
But you guys have to be willing to see your need...

I see no atheist achievement.
I see how powerful some of you guys could be if______....let me just let you guys fill in the blank.
What I have is a heart of pity...and an even more steadfast comittment to daily praying, Frank wink
I'm not stopping sir...
You take care...
Reading this I visualised u are gentle and perhaps pretty but that's by the way.

If the bible tells u broad is the way to destruction and narrow is the way to God, then it had since the beginning admitted failure.

The fact is that prayer never works, u pray for everything with no result. Prayer for Nigeria, prayer for our leaders, prayer for Leah, prayer for atheist, prayer for health, prayer for the sick... All ur life is praying for something that never comes....
Do u know why gamblers are always stuck to the gambling habit despite loosing? It is because of the uncertainty of when gambling will pay off... That's same trick pastors gat u praying all ur life... Its really sad, but if mugu no fall, sharp man no go chop.

Like I said, its time u guys start paying us for trying to bring u out of this mess u call religion.

We don't hate you, what we dislike is your arrogance and disrespectful attitudes. Those two (Respect and Cordial attitude) are the main stay of the Yoruba people and society.
We don't really care, that's what I like about our arrogance. We will keep on rubbing it in ur face that we are progress itself. U should be thankful that without us Lagos will still be like Ibadan.
And while u talk about our arrogance, we still know u are full of eye service, noise making and back stabbing. We don't have time to hate u for that, we will stall make our money

Yes, my street in enugu was named after a Yoruba man called Adelabu. Google Adelabu street in enugu in google map. Try and travel a bit.
Do they even travel out? They stay in their house and expect to have a street in Igbo land. So what significant thing have any Yoruba man done in the east to deserve a street. This ones have not even traveled but they know a Yoruba man does not have a street. That tells u the mindset they have.

Instead of appreciating Igbo's that have developed their land they are busy being envious for nothing.

I have been there, trying so hard to please God was my hubbie, yet I always end up frustrated and tired out. Religion is dangerous. Everything changed when I accepted and believe that I am already pleasing and accepted by God in and through Christ Jesus. My Christianity took a new turn. I began experiencing the supernatural effortlessly. This truth ushered in the holy and wonderful presence of God in my life.

Wrong believing has kept man out of the transforming presence of God for so long. We can experience the mighty presence of God here on Earth through resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ. I am speaking from experience.
U just got at peace with urself and called it God. its the same peace atheists feel when they denounce religion and all mythical stories and accept themselves for who they are.

I know God. His presence is always with me in Christ Jesus. How can someone who made mouth won't be able to speak? God speaks. He speaks to our heart and not to our ears. Listen with your heart and not with your ears.
Lol @ speak to to our heart.

If God speaks to the heart, why then did he create the ears?

How can a God who created ear for listening not know what is is used for... Tell him the heart pumps blood, no one hears with the heart. No wonder we have so many mad men in the church.

You have succeeded in converting religious zealot. This people don't know God though they might profess to know him. Religion is man doing something to be accepted by God. Labouring to please Him. This not the gospel. With this kind of gospel God and man will be separated. Man cannot truly experience and God, if he keep up with this attitude.

Resting in the truth that you are already accepted and pleasing to God through Christ Jesus will cause you to experience the divine presence of God in your life. All your doubt about God will be vanquish forever. Test and see!
Leave that thing... The truth is that nobody knows any God, even u.
What we have is everybody claims they no God until their eyes clear.
How can u know a God that cannot talk, it does not even exist.

If u can't see that ur prayer is a total waste of time then something must b wrong with u.

How many atheists in this forum have ever testified that they turned to Christian based on these arguments.

But we have tons of Christians , even those who argue actively changing their mind and denouncing Christianity.

Yet u waste time praying without result. The lesson we try to teach u guys on this forum will soon be costing u money. Yes, u will have to start paying for it since block headedness is what ya all have insisted on.

I believe I explained to you that only the Abrahamic God promises Heaven and Hell for Belief/Unbelieve. A simple problem.
So?
Pascals wager does not even work with abrahamic God. What are u all about pls.

I can see that your knowledge of Mathematics is shallow (no offense or disrespect intended) that is why your comprehension of Pascal's Wager is weak!
Pascals wager is as clear as ABC u don't need to being mathematics into it. I don't need to be a mathematician to understand pascals wager, jezz.

Pascal was simply using a mathematical tool to explain complex choice. In mathematics, I'm sure you have heard of the word "simplify!". Pascal distilled the problem into a simple YES or NO situation and the answer is obvious!
And I am saying u cannot simplify religious doctrines and process using pascals wager and expect to just get away with it... Doing so makes u a candidate for Yahweh's hell.

Don't forget that extremely complex logical computer algorithms use this same formula of distilling logics into a series of simple YES or NO decisions.
There he goes

You loose! Slow down and comprehend!
Stop getting ahead of urself smarty pants... Now when were u ever served a church article before u understood their doctrine and a new comer?

You seem not to know anything about Boolean Algebra. If you know, it wouldn't take you long that the most complex computer logic is reduced to a sequence of YES or NO!
I don't know what boolean algebra, and I don't understand how this is related to the topic. Pls face the topic at hand and stop digressing.

Pascal's Wager is focused on :
If (Man) Believes in God, then (NEXT STAGE)
Else
(ETERNAL TORMENT)

Since you don't believe in God, the NEXT STAGE does not exist for you. What exists is a definite END... torment

The NEXT STAGE Ultimately Leads to PARADISE if the conditions of (Love, Faith and Purity..) are accompanied. Are these fruits not evidence of Belief in God and His Words?
Brah, I/we know what pascals wager is all about. Yes, it assumes, believing in God takes u to the next stage. And we are saying that this makes no sense in reality, given all the different religion, their different doctrine and their process to make heaven. Jezz. Why is this difficult for u to grab. Telling me what pascals wager is us not the point.

Why do you think you are a self appointed ambassador against God? Because, it's a strong wish that you are correct...but there is no evidence, hence you have to prove your "superior wisdom": to calm you down 'cause you cannot afford to be wrong.

Masquerades are supposed to be ancestral spirits BUT I don't spend all my time proving that human beings are behind the masks and garment.

Food for thought!
What's this?

When was the last time u were served church article as a new comer, since u need church article know church doctrine. Answer the question and stop whining like a baby. Someone pokes holes in ur belief u guys start crying, see how u whole response was disjointed.

You said "somehow true!"
But the Pascal's Wager deliberately focused on this "monotheistic God" and not on the others (suitable for atheists consumption)
U are just all over the place and don't seem to understand even ur own point.
-Does pascals wager focus on other conditions required to be in good term with monotheistic God?
-u accept atheists are against the arrogance of monotheism which is mostly faith based, and u say pascals wager is not a yardstick for faith based belief, now u turn to say pascals wager focuses on monotheistic God. I don't seem to know what u really are about.
Why exactly do u think pascals wager is reasonable?

Pascal himself was a believer...and honestly, I feel that for those of you who need "physical evidence", Pascal's Wager is ONE means.
Believer in what sense? Was he a faith based christian who even u have mentioned does not need pascals wager.

Is any Parable or Analogy Perfect?
Certainly NOT!
But, they help simplify and bring out the TRUTH in a Complex Reality.
Yet u fail to see the holes we have poked in this "imperfect" analogy.

Even Jesus used Parables AND they aren't meant to be a one to one match of spiritual realities.
Yet u call him a perfect God

On articles of Faith, the only means of stating the doctrinal position of a church is no other than this.
For instance, at a time DLCM do not use TVs (the so called devil's box) BUT now, many DL members have satellite decoders in their house. But if you check, use of TVs had never been part of the Articles of Faith for the Church.
U only succeeded in making the church look like a confused place. Again, are u saying its impossible for doctrines to change? This article of faith u talk about, is it one sent by God himself? U are saying without article of faith it is impossible to know what certain church doctrines and beliefs are? So how many times do u go to church and u are presented with article of faith as a new member?

Just like in Boolean Algebra. Blaise Pascal focused on a simple YES/NO question. To believe or not to in the face of a monotheistic God! And by this, a very rational and solid agreement.
How is it a solid agreement? Are things related to making heaven a yes or no issue? Does just believing there is God take anyone to heaven?

You don't seem to understand!
I am talking from the Christan point of view. Faith isn't a "backup plan" in case God happens to be real.
Faith is a Trust on God's integrity.
Is it possible to Trust the Integrity of One who doesn't exist? No!
This I know... But have it at the back of ur mind that Christians are not the only ones who believe in God.

As Atheists, your problem isn't usually against
1. The Agnostic believes
2. The Polytheistic believes
BUT against the "arrogance" of the monotheism and their God!
Somehow true

If it about Faith, the Pascal's Wager isn't a yard stick of any single spiritual value. The Pascal's Wager is simply a physical or mathematical bases and argument (to Atheists) for adopting "the believe" in a God from a monotheistic point over view.
Then why do faith believers always use it. Atheists think, just like u think, that the pascals wager has its floors, especially when faith believers like u think it is very reasonable.


I have not seen JWs article of Faith but I have read "AWAKE" their magazine where "Blood Transfusion" is regected so, I expected you to find a written/official record of what a church (DLCF) believes will lead to heaven. Otherwise, your claim is a mere "hearsay"
Awake is not JWs article of faith, why bring it up? Awake is simply a repeatation of what of what JW preachers preach any time the knock on our doors. Yet u know that blood transfusion is rejected by them. Why don't u wait for their article if faith before u accept?
Same way deeper life preaches against earring all the time, but u think we need their article of faith to know this?

Believing in God as a Backup isn't Faith!
Back up for who? People of faith?
If it isn't faith why are people of faith quoting it? Why should people of faith use something that isn't faith as back up?

What is Pascal's Wager all about?


Then don't change the Pascals Wager into something it is not.

The Pascal's Wager is focused on the Fundermentals (believe in God): it doesn't focus on Obedience to Gods WILL.

Without the Believe, It is impossible to Obey .

The argument of whether the God of Abraham is YHWH or Allah falls under Obedience!
We are not changing it, we are saying its insufficient and has so many floors for people of faith.
