Dude397:That means ur mental illness started 2012 and not 2017 and you misinformed us here... and religion wasn't ur problem. I think you held unto religion when u realized you had mental issues and as usual it almost made matters worst... Keep calm bro, take ur medications and i hope u to fine and live a normal life |
LordReed:one thing i dont really understand is why they hold on to the fact that most atheists are people disappointed in God as a point. Isnt this something they should be bothered about? if someone prays and he does not get answers, isnt it a good reason to think God does not exist? But why at they excited about this rather than being concerned. Really if God answers prayers, would there really be atheists? Just look at his statement, this is something coming from a supposedly rich intelligent dude: PeaceJoyLove:He is assuming people who pray and didnt get answers failed... instead of their God who claims he answers prayer... that mean people who pray should answer their own prayer. |
PeaceJoyLove:Your God is imaginary... and the reason why you folks pray, fast, tithe, vigil, is because you need help from an imaginary being. Your church members need your advise most... i am sure your house of God would have been empty if they were hustling enough instead of looking for help from an imaginary being. |
PeaceJoyLove:I am sure they are very poor and feeding from your rich asss. Oshe dangote . Your mumu no get part two |
Dtruthspeaker:Guy pls rest, your imaginary God no get level, or worst still he is confused. Did he also curse ur mother or wife cause she went through labour pain while giving birth? I think your God is the foolish thing here |
Dtruthspeaker:what curse? they have the effrontery to deceive people ur God supposedly created and love, even using the words of ur God to decieve people and succeeding... shouldnt ur God be wary of such people? shouldn't ur God for once consider himself a failure? Ordinary humans are calling his warning and threats a bluff and all he could do is lay curses that has no single effect... shame on u and the nonsense u believe in... spits |
PeaceJoyLove:when u talk like this i am not surprised at such nonsense assumption coming from someone who made up a God to believe in... if u can assume a creator exists my brother, u can assume that everyone living in Kenya is a cat and believe it like ur life depends on it. U sit in ur house telling people u interact with online to go and hustle because they dont believe a being, even u have never seen, exists. are u saying that everyone who does not believe ur imaginary God exists is poor? How many billionaires believe ur imaginary God exists? How rich are u to assume u are richer than every atheist on Nairaland... why are u so childish and ignorant yet u spew trash with such audacity... only Christianity can make a human confident in stupidity. Yet u cant describe how this creator u so much believe in looks like, neither do u know where he lives nor can u even explain the sound of his voice... just that the white man told ur fathers that this Creator used to live in isreal and will be back on day, all of a sudden u are busy all the place assuming people who dont believe in nonsense are poor... Nairaland has really done well in grooming stupid people. |
elated177:When u keep on sayin people are frustrated for no reason, it is only a sign that u are frustrated. I feel sorry for ur like... forcing urselve to believe something so imaginary, praying and visualizing things and making up stories just to support ur belief... have u given ur imaginary creator ur tithe for this month? he needs ur money to complete ur mansion that u will live in when u die... |
elated177:could it b that u are the so called creator? |
listen to yourself... frank317: So what accurate knowledge has your God provided about the universe that we can all rely on? Dtruthspeaker: And I have clearly answered, that the knowledge of the universe is completely unnecessary and has no bearing with good and sweet living.how does this answer the question? Ur brother in Christ is the one probing Lordreed and asked him multiple questions about the universe as if the so called God he is worshipping has the answers...what accurate knowledge do u have about all these questions below by shotgun? shortgun: Until you tell us why 80 percent of the world oceans remains unexplored in the 21st century, God exists! Dtruthspeaker: Is this not rather proof that your hatred for God has made you very unreasonable and tethering close to insanity?blah blah blah... if your so called God is sad I hate him, he can go and himself |
Dtruthspeaker:do u have a mental problem or somthing? what nonsense are u talking pls. |
shortgun:So what accurate knowledge has your God provided about the universe that we can all rely on? |
Osashalom:many years ago, Christians used to make unbelievers feel foolish, people have to lie just to be accepted a Christians. Today the table has turned. Questions are being asked and doubts have been raised. Christians are now the ones feeling foolish. they are now saying, leave me in my foolishness, how does that concern u? Even you know the believe in Jesus is the highest form of foolishness; a dead jew that you claim was God the came to isreal, not africa or china or europe, is that one a God? wanted to speak to five thousand people and didnt think of inventing micro phone... he didnt even invent radio to reach africa or other parts of the world... but these things were possible and he could have acheived more in that once in a life time mission... well, u said i should leave u in ur foolishness, enjoy! |
Kestolove:If u respect others, u will condemn the churches making noise all the time and disturbing everyone in their neighborhood |
I think it is very ok to ask when need something, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. My problem is u have to pray and pray till u are tired of repeating yourself. Not only that, u will fast, go to vigil, give tithe, make effort to please him with it life style still u will be told that patience is a virtue while things turn from bad to worst. Nigeria is an example... Haven't u asked God what u want? Madam, nobody is listening to u, go and hustle out ur own success. |
ayoncox:do not mind them, they will never believe the multiple testimonies told in the church. I told Lordreed and Workch that I drove from lagos to Maidugiri on an empty tank after my pastor prayed and blessed my car and they have the guts to doubt. My Cat was turned to a Dog after prayer from my pastor and that was how God saved me from wasting money to buy a new dog, Yet they doubt the all these obvious tested and trusted miracle work of God.. of course just a testimony in the church is a complete test. |
Pls who will chop me and clean mouth... ladies, i am begging to be chopped |
Munamoqel:but why is IPOB giving u sleepless night? rest na. |
LordReed:why will an atheist be less likely to want to get married? |
LordReed:I am not sure I agree with this.... possess these qualities: good job, relatable, good looking and u will get married if u are interested. many ladies say God fearing man is a criteria but, like god that quality is a mirage and never seen |
I am married... |
elated177:walk means moving from one place to anther with your feet The fact that nature abhors it makes me abhor it.where did u get the FACT that nature abhors it. I eat by putting food in my mouth, Nature condemns homosexuality in all its form. Nature calls it an aberration.pls quote nature.. i am just realizing nature talks. again what has happened to nature since men started sleeping with each other. 'a lot' is not anything. Yap, nature has said clearly that it is an aberration. I have heard it clearly. The questions raised here point to the fact that nature has spoken out against homosexuality.where, when and how did nature tell u... kindly quote nature and explain how nature spoke with only u I don't need to know? i need to establish if u are lying na |
elated177:how does it go against nature? did nature complain to u? what does nature lose if two men have sex? It is nature's business, actually. When a man abandons the vagina for the anus of another man, then something is wrong.I think its has suddenly become ur business instead of nature? or are u nature's mouthpiece? so the fact that u don't like it means nature does not like it... Nature has everything to do with it. The fact that you couldn't give straight answers to the questions shows that nature has everything to do with sexual relationship. Nature has designed the female sex organ to accommodate that of the male.nature has nothing to do with anything homosexual... what has happened to nature since men started sleeping with each other? You see, the fact that homos have invade their anuses during the detestable sex activities underscores the assertion that homosexuality is an aberration. Why didn't the penis of one male open for the other male for penetration?its an aberration to u, did naturetell u it is an aberration to it? if so what has nature done about it? |
elated177:Calling it natural or not is a bit tricky... who natural help? is it natural to fall sick and die? did nature make cars and planes. Human beings have over the years, taken charge of their lives the best way they can and given the middle finger to nature which has proven to be neither here nor there... Homosexuality is just a sexual preference, while I find it disgusting, I think its not nature's business when men decide to hit assess instead of pussi*** I really don't think nature has got anything to do with this... by the way what do u really consider natural in human behavior... is it natural for someone not to desire sex? or for someone not to like rice? |
Iyaebe:pls shut up if u have nothing to say |
Datboredberry:from a woman's perspective... smashing the chicks is not something u go and pick... u learn and master it over time |
triplechoice:I had to just stop here. I said we wouldn't be arguing if all religious folks were not fanatics and u call it a generalization? Common sense didn't tell you that this statement meant that the reason we are having this communication or for the op is because some religious folks are fanatics.... how can I be conversing with someone who calls anything generalization? have a good day bro. You jumped into the thread with nothing substantial to say. |
triplechoice:I am not generalizing... i am interested in religious person who are fanatical and go over board. They are the problem of religion... people like righteousness(I am sure u know the moniker) who will go to every post to preach dooms day, people who survive accident and thank God for specifically saving them and allowing other people to die. if every religious person was not fanatical u and I will not be having this conversation. Some of them are aware of what I explainedare u specifically saying that there are Christians who believe that after praying, they were not healed by God but they were healed as a result of the process u described? and u claim the person believes in God? or are u saying that there are Christians who understand the process u described and still believe its God that healed them? u think they are ok? I never said psychological movement but physiological movement that can result in healing. If scientist has confirmed such movement within the human body during prayers but have not been able to explain exactly why they happen how do you then convince a religious person who has experience it that a god is not responsible?. You think because there's no evidence for a god then any claim of prayers working must be false.? That conclusion is wrong. Some plants are used in herbal treatments by herbal practitioners and they work perfectly well even when science has not been able to identify what constituteOga no scientist will explain such physiological movement during prayer without explaining why biko... go and read why people are advised to be positive in life. Any scientist that explains such a prayer-induced physiological process will clearly explain other psychological condition that will also result in the process and sure has nothing to do with any God. if u accept there is no evidence of God, how then do u come to conclusion that something with no evidence healed u after some rambling called prayer? Oga please scientists have identified the healing properties constituted in majority of plants used to heal... most of the drugs u used today are extracts from these plants... are u for real? If the believer is wrong according to you then explain to him what is really happening so he can think "right"isn't that part of what the op is all about ![]() Your comment above shows that you just jumped midway into the conversation without finding out what has been said before. I have been saying that the op is not completely untrue but that it can't persuade a deeply religious person and those, who know better, that prayers is useless. The summation is that prayer is useless. But Is that really true from what I have been explaining here? and what is the meaning of useless?We cant play ignorance here. i think u and I understand what the op meant when he said prayer is useless... the whole scenario described in the op clear explains why he thinks prayer is useless. Was there a God who was supposed help people under the fallen building after being prayed to? if some people were meant to die there what was the point of their prayer? does that not make prayer useless. Could those who think their were save because of their prayer be wrong? The point of the op was to show that they were wrong and their prayer was useless. And of course it can actually convince SOME deeply rooted fanatics... that's the power of conversation. If Prayers can provide even if it is only psychological relief then it means it is not completely useless as you and your friends wrongly think .it means it wasn't any God that did it.. which is the whole essence of saying prayer is useless. Alot of parents tell their children that without education they cant succeed in life. And what is your understanding of being rich.any parents who says that is wrong biko. And being rich here means living and afluent and comfortable life. It is what they have accepted .It is their choice.why such a flimsy statement? who said it wasn't their choice... what has this statement got to do with anything? It is wrong cause such thinking has created unnecessary friction. isn't robbery some people's choice of living? My argument is not centered on the above but only used it to highlight the fact that he was generalising using just one instance of where prayers appeared to fail ,that is ,if we all can accept it can work. If everyone under that rubble was rescued alive would he accept that it was prayers that led to it?of course, he cannot use all instances, this is not his first post on nairaland and the other posts still touched on other points. A strong argument for prayer would have been if only the people rescued where the people that prayed. Things working at random cannot be termed answered prayer, which is supposedly the reaction of a supposedly intelligent and loving God. Mbanu How many have you succeeded in convincing with rational arguments? It is obvious you don't know enough of what forms the basis of most religious beliefs if not you wouldn't be saying this.you are hasty in ur conclusion bro. I have been here a long time and majority of active atheists now on nairaland were once arguing back and forth with us just like u. Sorry the problem is yours and not mine . I have not condemned anything but only made an observation from what I know about the subject matter. My observation should be addressed and not taken as condemnation. Why do you want to imagine my response as that. Where did I suggest he should not bother. Please keep your imagination in checkyou want the op to come u with an argument that will convince every deeply rooted religious fanatic? like I said I think the op has a good point... i really don't know what u expect from him... he cant satisfy u, neither can he satisfy everyone. So when you disagree with somebody's arguments it is because you don't want them to say anything at all. Just imagine the way you reasonNo, I think u want him to come up with a perfect argument. . Nothing has been said to prove that prayers is completely useless especially for a deeply religious person to accept. That is my argument and I have given reasons why I say so.Address those .I think the statement 'completely useless is an absolute one, hence my problem with ur argument. Actually, a lot has been said to prove prayer is useless and u agree he has a point but not enough. The major thing to me is that No God answers any prayer... things follow due process and looking at it from this angle... prayer is useless. |
triplechoice:I agree, but you and I know that most religious folks are comfortable with being unreasonable... what do u think about someone strapping a bomb and kill people, or someone giving his whole earning to a pastor or eating grass or... when discussing with someone who believes in an unseen being u should know u are a long thing. . Your above statement is evidence that you have very limited information about the practice of prayer. There are have been studies conducted by scientist to demonstrate that prayers can result in certain physiological movements in the human body which can result in healings. Anyone who has had that sort of healing or has known any who has it, would not completely accept that prayers is useless. This is the foundation of why I said the op is not convincing enough. Maybe you have another definition for the word, "useless" I have never argued on this thread that prayers is a sure bet .tell a Christian or Mulsim what scientists discovered as u described above and they will tell u u are the devil. Prayer here to a religious person is God deliberately answering their request and not some psychological movement that results in relief. Any believer who had had that sort of feeling and stick to 'God healed me' is wrong hence he needs convincing and the OP is just part of the process. I cant recall the op saying he is most convincing... but I think he has a point, do u? If prayers can provide psychological relief then what is your point then? Or have you used the word psychological without really knowing the meaning?then lets accept prayer gives psychological relief and stop saying God did it. With your reasoning there, one can also conclude that since people can still become wealthy without going to school then schooling is uselessyou could have been right if the assumption is 'without school no one can be rich'. Go to church and u will hear Christians let u know how vulnerable u are without prayer.. some will even pity u. yet they pray and fall into danger. Another problem with comparing school with prayer is that while school is a process where one can see where one falls short and lose it, while prayer is just a a magical, automatic response to our desires... ur example will only lead to a long unreasonable argument because the comparison is wrong. . I have not said much about what prayers can do or not do or even made any God claim . My argument is that you can't convince a religious person or any other person that what they do is completely useless especially when they think that the benefit they're getting is enough for them. If they're OK with it at this time why should it be your problem .you can convince a religious person actually, and that's the power of human interaction. The problem with folks like you is that you just condemn the attempt to convince another. what the Op did was involve in the process of conviction, some will accept some will not. by the way whats ur point... that the op shouldn't have bothered? Ensure you understand an argument vary well before respondingI understand your point.... The op should come up with an argument that must convince religious folks or don't try at all. You don't get me at all. I never made any claim about prayers. I said the op is not convincing. Please respond to the reasons I have given and not try to bring in things that doesn't concern meu can quickly clarify me so that we don't waste time repeating ourselves |
triplechoice:Actually, it is enough to convince any reasonable person, except u want to argue for the sake of twisting what's obvious. Prayer has never been proven to work, it's just a psychological way of making people feel good, that's why it is still relevant. if people are archiving things (u say only prayer can achieve) without prayer what's wrong in concluding that prayer is useless? recall prayer is the point here basically because of the way something so irrelevant has been promoted by religious folks. "Prayer works" only becomes a claim when you cannot even prove its effectiveness to ur achievement. Given the way prayer is being promoted, one actually expects much... same as God. Now the school example u gave is wrong... school has never been preached to be the only way to success. Education has its effect on people and when u bring an educated person and an uneducated person out, the difference will always be clear. if someone attains education and still behaves like an uneducated person, I can confidently say education was useless to him. if smoking has been proven to cause cancer in some people, then the statement, smokers are liable to die young is true. It's not about claiming that prayer works neither is it about claiming that overspeeding could lead to death or smoking could cause cancer... Has any dead person been confirmed to have died due to over speeding or smoking? Fine, can you prove your prayer was what led to their rescue? did god confirm that people were rescued from that building because they prayed to him? |
Righteousness2:both u and that lady actually need serious sex in ur life |
hupernikao:how exactly does this meaningless rant make you feel? the way some Christians think sha... u need to even sound like u have knowledge before u start talking of knowledge. oga park well |
No be you even open am ooo as a don dash the real OP what he deserves. You kon carry your frustration too....and on top, your head no fit tell you say na "puff puff" discussion be this thread. See eh.... na your papa and mama a pity small...cos na waste of money for your education. You kon still dey vex and dey fight God. Bro, leave God for now....fine, you dont believe in Him....fine.. BUT GO HUSTLE!!!
