hupernikao: Pèlé, I understand your trouble. Ever learning but can't come to knowledge. It's a pity position to be. You will survive it. Just take some time. Once again. Pèlé.
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.
hupernikao: Bro, you not identifying with Christians again haven't still solve or answer your question (Does God Exist). Even the best of atheism today still seek answers and proof to that question daily.
The questions on your heart are normal. It only showed you likely don't have those who are willing to listen to you around you, or who can answer what bothers you.
For me, looking at all your comments here, I can assumed you have likely had much of wrong teaching of God around you. And that raised lot of questions that such teachers couldn't answer.
Well, if you seek answers truly. Then you should read this intelligently.
1. Your decision above doesn't solve the problem at hand nor does it answer the question you seek. Hence it is only be a distraction for you, as your heart knows you haven't gotten answers.
2. There are usually hidden concerns that underline the great question you asked. Most who call themselves atheist here have narrated unknowingly in their multitude of words such hidden concerns that drove them to atheism and mostly are from personal challenges or concerns that surround how the place you fellowship have presented God's word and promises to you or your normal desires that were never fulfilled even after you have done all that you were told was required.
3. In life, when confused, you should rather err on the side of one you know, one you have seen, and count faithful to you (your real world, your family, your people) than one who you haven't seen, nor know, nor add any value to you in life (the online world).
You can't measure the life of any here by just reading their text including me. Here you will see, liars, deceiver, good and bad etc. Yet all come in the name of helping or intelligent. But there is always a means to that end.
Err on the side of caution and patiently determine your next step.
4. And most importantly, no one can or will decide for you as am sure you can make decision by yourself. But ask yourself, what truly is driving your decisions.
Are they based on failed expectations from God?
Are they based on pressure from life and seems God wasn't there for you?
Are they based on assumptions from poor doctrine about God?
Or are they based on true desire to know the truth about God existence or non existence.
Whatever the reasons. I can confidently tell you, that the foundation is from a wrong knowledge of who God is or what he can do.
Give yourself time Bro. And ask your questions, you will find answers from the right persons.
In conclusion? so much ranting here. Finally, u still have no proof of God... u guys will talk and talk and talk, going round and round with nothing to show for it.
Fortunately, as a man, u can be secretly havin sex and still love ur wife pefectly. U didnt marry her because of sex.. U married her because she is a good and loving woman. If she does not like sex, do not force her to want sex... Go get sex somewhere else... Sex it not love, its just a means of satisfaction... The woman u love must not satisfy u sexually.. This only partains to men, not women.
Just want to ask... If u believe u know nothing, or nothing is real, this life might be a dream... The sun u see every freaking day, ur mom, siblings, ur pains, love and desire to live... Might all be a figment of ur imagination, why do u even make effort to live? Why do u plan or work towards a goal... Worst stll why are u arguing on this forum with people who might be robots or a dream.... Do u find pleasure in making people as confused as u are?
Somone said he doea not believe in God because there is not enough evidence for hia existence... And u say he shouldnt say so, since he cant know if God is real he should live a confused life, which u have yet start living because u are here trying to convince people to be certain they are confused.
Drop this argument, it makes u sound like a mental patient, if u know what that means.
Dtruthspeaker: he did not know that he slipped up with the "imaginary friend" dung!
So he is now trying to cover the poopoo in his yansh and on the ground.
Ur God does not exist, u know it, but i dont understand why u keep deceiving urself.
What exactly can ur God do? Why are u all over something so useless that is just an idea in ur head. Don't u think u are mentally sick?
God god god every time... Never been seen, never reacted, never spoken, just u all over the place calling on imaginery things.
But take a minute, could the God u believe in be ur alter ego? Is he not a mere wish? Something u so much wish u are that u see it so alive in ur head? U are the God u worship... When u defend God, u defend u and thats why u can never stop believing, because u are afraid u will lose part of u when the believe is gone... Watch ur mental health... Be guided.
happy200: Good question. I have been confused since yesterday because i believed that i can do that any day any time, so if i could not do it then i'm just very very confused. Lol............
Well, like they say... Talk is cheap. Motivational speakers and pastors can make u believe anything but there is huge difference between reality and believe.
The mind is a powerful tool to use... Ever heard of self fulfiled prophecy? SFP feeds belief. So when we believe in a thing, process or cause, we desired so much for our believe to come true (prophecy), then we see coincidences or similarities as the manifestations or fulfillment of our believe... But reality is when something can be repeated over and over again given the same circumstances.
Dtruthspeaker: You came to salvage your shipwrecked brothers ? You are already headed to the same rocks that have drowned your brothers.
U wish
I can do equally say "You do not exist" but that does not mean it is True.
U are insane if u say i dont exist after interacting with u. .. Well, u have nothing to lose by saying that since i dont have a million naira to give u and u just want to win an argument.
I did not say "he refused to believe in my evidence" I said "refused to see it, as is your power."
He refused to see it... What ever that means. U are talking nonsense and he is pointing it out and say he refused to see ur point. Is this how u prove ur so called all powerful existent God?[/quote]
Dtruthspeaker: when you were in Secondary School did you not meet students who were good both in the sciences and in the arts?
Osei Yaw Ababio, P.N Okeke and Modern Biology are still parts of my Library.
And I was good in chemistry, I still remember the first 20 elements of the periodic table by heart, acid, base and salts, metals etc.
Damn, I had very good education!!!
Ur God does not exist, but u sure know how to rant and decieve urself.
U say he refuse to believe in ur evidence And then say he does not know how to recognize evidence... Something is definitely wrong with ur head if u simply cant tell urself the truth
The mind is very strong, yet easy to manipulate. The fear of death and unknown after death is the birth of heaven and hell.
The human mind cant just phantom the idea of never existing again after death. We wish to see those we love again and we wish those who hurt us suffer for hurting us.
Haven't we all been played? Or are we not just playing ourselves? People just want believe and move on hence they open themselves up for deciet and manipulation.
We then become gods, sanctioning those we love to a better place and those we hate to torment. Makes me wonder... Are we not the God we worship?
LordReed: This is the problem with people like you who "otherize" people, you forget you are dealing with individuals and even when your attention is called to it you are so blinded by your prejudice it affects your reasoning. I have made it clear that I am not arguing about Jesus' existence but about his purported supernatural ability but your prejudice won't let you engage my point you are still talking to me as if you are talking to some monolithic personality called atheist.
Is Jesus the first person to be attributed supernatural ability? Why should we believe his simply because the bible says so when many other people have their scriptures telling of their own favourite religious leader's supernatural abilities.
Worst still, the so called Jesus performed lots of magic... Turned water to wine (really?), healed the sick (in a world with no hospital), cured the blind etc and promised his followers will do much more... We are still looking for the first blind man to cured... Whats even the physical relevance of the existence of Jesus
A Jesus that was God the creator didnt teach us anything relevant in his once in a life time opportunity to show himself to the world. Not even the invention of microphone or loud speakers knowing it would be easier for him to speak to five thousand people and awe them with both his invention and insightful words... How long will we continue to decive ourselves.
Friends and foes, These are not mere happenings! These are Heavenly Fearful signs and Sights to the Earth Inhabitants to know and Understand that there is a GOD that rules and runs this Earth. We are at the End of the End of times. This Ship is Sinking!! JESUS only is the Means of Safety and Salvation. Come into a relationship with KING JESUS so as to be Saved from what is Coming.
U fear ur God when stupid evil and wicked things happens. Is ur God the god of wicked and evil things? Thought these were the devil's birthright
Lol.. The so called heaven now has fearful signs... Hmmmm
paulGrundy: If that was the case, he won't have come to nairaland embittered and disgruntled.
He wasn't embittered neither was he disgruntled... He just shared his testimony which u didn't like and to sooth ur hurt ego, u decided he was embittered. Besides at first it wasnt about the money, it was about serving the living God and when he got disappointed he found atheism.
Image123: Lol, if He wasn't real, you wouldn't all be scheming to be upstanding and righteous. Let me speak in the language you will understand, there is none good but God.

If you still believe there's no Divine Architect (God)...I have no more words for you.
A picture of complex creator telling u he created everything complex or...
How did u know this creator? How are u sure it is one creator? Couldn't it have been family of creators? Of a giant 3 headed tortoise?
U dont know what u do not know... Stop making up imaginary stories and force us to believe.
Dont worry by the time twitter is completely banned and all Nigerias who use Twitter via vpn are killed... Food scarcity and herdsmen activities will b a thing of the past
This is uncalled for, this half baked bloggers can't cease to amaze me. more irrelevant stories loading...
Such bloggers are reinforced by peoplw like u who would not just pass an unapproved topic but woupd rather click on it to express their displeasure... U are already caught in the trap
tillaman: And so, just cause someone smokes doesn’t make them irresponsible, we have a couple of billionaires that are chain smokers, smoking or not the girl is a crook, she roofied the dude and knifed him multiple times while he was incapacitated/blazed Based on the fact that the dude was an amateur boxer, she can’t possibly do it without pharmaceutical help, it was premeditated
She smokes, she is a murderer and a hooker...she is terribly irresponsible
What i dont underatand is that there have been less that 60 cases for the past one month and almost equivalent recovery... How come the difference between affected and discharged have continued to be 10k even when u take away the number of deaths? Does it mean 10k people have been sick for more than 4weeks?
CandyOps: It's like you want your brothers to go COMPLETELY MAD abi??
You already have proof that medications work to an extent on your younger brother abi? Which other solution do you seek alert from what works already??!
The moment you carry that man into a spiritual home is the moment his madness will go into gear 4.
And deep down inside you, you already know the source of the problem. IT IS HEREDITARY! A.K.A in your blood.
Hello!! You mean to say you went through school and the words 'genetics' never sunk into your head?!
....
You see religion and superstition is really killing African growth. How can a fully grown university educated man seek health solutions from any other place outside a health facility??
And before u start quoting me, just know I also have a cousin who is mentally unstable and suffers from schizophrenia too.
My neighbor had a burst vein in his head from High BP complications and his illiterate mom rushed him to a spiritual home where he went into coma during their spiritual razzmatazz.
Before her head correct it's too late. Nigga was DOA by the time they got to the hospital.
In fact, I believe any religious home that takes on the role of a healthcare provider should be sued and probably even shut down.
...
Here is how the scientific process works:
- You encounter a problem. - You make guesses/assumptions to what the solution could be & ask questions to the cause of the prob. - You make guesses using the answers you got. Called a hypothesis. This guess should be something testable. Meaning anyone can replicate the tests. - Make a prediction from the answers you get - Now you run some tests on that hypothesis (usually trial and errors while noting what works) - You come up with more hypothesis - You know what works to an extent (in your case, drugs) which leads you to making a clearer prediction.
- you test again till you come up with a theory of how to go about such issues in future...
....
Now, over the thousands of years mankind and modern humans have literally done almost all these testing for us and we only have to improve on it. But NO! Not an African man.
An African man will encounter a problem and instead of following the scientific step, he will immediately say to himself, "I need to talk to God about this" or worse, "it looks spiritual. I can't do anything about it if God doesn't do anything about it"
... And just in that moment, all the creative ideas and potential discoveries that could have been made will be cut short!
.....
You see, when we cry over the dangers of superstition in Africa and how it is underdeveloping us Christians and other religious folks will rather put the devil on you by calling Atheist or Apethists (people who don't care about deities) devil worshipers than see reasons with us.
I mean, just imagine what an adult who passed through the 4 walls of a classroom is saying. It's deeper than just getting school knowledge and I don't blame anyone because it is a result of hundreds of years of torture and slavery by the white people who brought on this scam called religion to us
(Don't mistake religion for spirituality or spiritism)
Africans pls plssss stop bowing to the ducking skies and learn to use your heads
The damaging effects of religion is not just found in our healthcare system. It's everywhere. Most especially in our minds. Slavery ducked us up real good. But then we keep ducking ourselves everyday by choosing to remain in the slavery
It's like what Kanye West said in an interview on TMZ that went viral. "400 years of slavery seemed like a choice"
Sorry I'm coming off as harsh but pls I beg you in the name of anything you believe in, DO NOT STEP ONE FOOT into ANY religious home. Well, except you want to dump your bro there for the worse.
And the funny thing is this:
When you let a super-religious person in on the TRUTH about their bullshit they'll always go through these stages:
1. Denial or Ridicule (they deny it or Ridicule it/you)
2. Rejection [they reject it entirely and will become violent towards the source of the information (you) ]
3. Acceptance (they finally begin to see reason)
Which explains why I don't like having a religious convo with anyone. I just listen and nod or zone you off.
And the reason is because I hate being the bearer of bad news. And I hate being at the receiving end of the 3 stages of accepting the truth I listed above.
It's also one of the reasons why the bearer of bad news in the olden days were usually put to death by the King.
Anyone who loses a loved one also passes through those 3 stages before accepting the truth.
First, you ridicule the info. Then you react violent to oppose it. Later, acceptance dwells in.
It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)
And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.
And no one likes being stewpid
Its so sad.. Someone who calls herself graduate sees that mental illness runs in her family and she is here calling it spiritual problem... And look at than band wagon of indictrinated dumb graduates telling her to go and see one stupid pastor...
Abeg people, have u seen where any pastor healed a mad man?
I dont know why we africans are just dumb and u wonder why we have the kind of leader we have.
Madam u know it runs in ur gene and u are askin for spiritual solution... Pls what is spirit?
Ur brothers are gone, just give them their medication and manage them like ur mum... I am concerned for u... Men will not wabt to marry u knowing this runs in ur family... I wish there was a test for this to confirm ur mental status too
Lovethaa: We are all children of God... and there is no such thing as why u need God's love... because you automatically have it as a human being .. the only difference between a believer and a non believer can be liken to the son of dangote living with him and another son living else where without knowing dangote is his daddy..
Christians know thier Power as God's children so they harness it while non believers though they carry same power they don't know how to use it
Pray tell, which power do Christians harness... Power to do what exactly?
There will be a 3days darkness upon the face of the Earth,done will be unleashed and many will be killed... Watch this video and keep yourself guided ...
So what should we do to u and ur pastor if this does not happen?
