To be fair though he did deactivate that account but he came back. Let's say he resurrected. LoLz!

True.

LordReed:
Bro we need the god to turn one of those prosperity preachers into a pillar of salt in front his church cameras. Not all this ancient fairytales. He should it live on broadcast let's all see it.

Thank you.
I bet there is no challenge anyone can accept. Even the OP here has once promised to deactivate his account here is something didn't happen, lo and behold nothing happen and he couldn't fulfill his promise.

Olufemiolaolu:

Yes. Humans created god and the god concept.

Olufemiolaolu:
If you ask me, it's the greatest of all human inventions. It solidifies the statement that humans are created in the image of God.

Or better put, God is created by humans.

seyichicago:
and the next time you dare tourch the bible... accept whatever happens to u as a result of your reckless statement.

Funny, the Bible is not more than a book. Nothing will happen to whoever touches it.

And my statement is not reckless but fact.

Mrexcell:
Who are you to question ur creator? God does as he pleases all that humans are created for is to please God and do his will.here on earth.

And who told you I believe in your god, or creation according to your story book?

helinues:
Abeg how is that story logical. There are so many flops stories like that in the bible

Let's not sugar coat anything jawe, the bible itself is meaningless.

chatinent:
What was Job's crime before God called Satan and started the conversation "look at my servant Job".. which led to killing his children and rendering him useless?

Sometimes I genuinely wonder how otherwise sane people accept these stories without questioning them, or how they reconcile them with the claim that “god” is good. How do you say you love your children, yet deliberately place what can harm them within reach and then punish them for “touching” it? This same god is said to have created everything—good and evil—yet is still branded a good god, while threatening to burn his own children for eternity for acting within the very system he designed. How is that logical, fair, or moral in any coherent sense?

He made predictions for 2026 and you said things that are happening in 2025 are the fulfilment of the predictions, no be mumuism be dat?

Dtruthspeaker:
Your earlier aggressive response about death betrays you but I will not pursue it but respect your right not to be reminded of death and your fear especially as this is not what the thread is really about.

And on living well, I say forget it. For it is only when God comes that living well will begin. It is as sure as fuel will never be 87 naira for a litre.

This guy! Where exactly did I respond aggressively about death? Go back to the beginning of the thread and read it again — slowly and carefully this time. This is exactly why I don’t like replying to you. You constantly go off point, then quickly declare yourself the winner while avoiding the actual argument. Please park one side.

Dtruthspeaker:
If I was not normal, he would have picked it. It is you who being hate full of Truth, who hates me because I am not afraid of saying the most painful Truth.

So, this is you unreasonably and unfairly interpreting a novel opinion by committing the fallacy of ad hominem because you know you cannot successfully attack my arguments

Attack your argument? Na

Dtruthspeaker:
You do not like responding to me because you know that in the end you would find out that you are wrong, for you used the Ghana rubbish to put religions relevance on the stand.

And my response is simply that religion will always be in play because of the high point of religion is when death is in focus.

Yes, religion will be low on science and some other topics but it will certainly pick up once death is raised. That is all I am saying.

And unfortunately, every topic in the world cannot do without involving death hence why I say religion can never ever become irrelevant as the question your header asked

Lol, I think many of us have moved past that level — death. It’s the least of my concerns. Death is simply the end of one’s existence, nothing more. We will all die someday, and we’re not going anywhere after that.
What matters to me is living well now: making life better for myself, my loved ones, and leaving the world better than I met it. That’s it. No eternity, no fear of hellfire, no hope of an afterlife reward. I left that level long ago.

Akinpedia:
So if a 2-year-old child is born with a heart defect or catches malaria, is that also 'sinful conduct'? If a dedicated, 'holy' nurse gets infected while treating a patient, is that her 'behavior' catching up with her?

When we blame 'sin' for every medical condition, we give people an excuse to ignore hygiene, safety, and science. And regarding the 'progress as a nation' part—they are absolutely compatible. A nation is only as strong as its people. When our most productive citizens are dying from preventable diseases because they are 'fasting' away a medical emergency, the economy suffers. Health is wealth, and a healthy nation is a progressing nation.

You dey mind that guy? I don't think he is normal

Dtruthspeaker:
You raised this thread because of the Ghana man doing Noah, which means you are talking about life and death. And this is where my statement comes in and why religion will always be relevant.

So, I see, you are annoyed that I have reminded you of death and the fear of God and this is why religion will always be important because it would always come to remind you of your fear and dread of God

Honestly, I don’t enjoy replying to you because you often go off point. This discussion is not about death, and the Ghana prophet incident has nothing to do with death either. If anything, it should be a source of embarrassment for Christians.

Dtruthspeaker:
When it comes to death that is when everyone remembers that they are afraid of God. So religion will always be in play and will always be relevant

Read carefully and if you have any meaningful contribution please post, but if not stay one side.

I read a thread today showing some Ghanaians trooping in their numbers to enter an ark built by an acclaimed prophet, who predicted that a great flood would begin today, 25th December 2025. Incidents like this raise important questions, and I decided to bring this discussion here.

I ask this question with genuine curiosity, not hostility.
Has religion outlived its purpose?
For thousands of years, religion has been one of humanity’s most powerful tools for understanding the world. Long before science, data, and experimentation, humans faced a universe filled with mystery, fear, and uncertainty. We didn’t know why the rain fell, why sickness came, why people died suddenly, or why disasters struck without warning. In trying to make sense of these things, humans created explanations — and many of those explanations took religious forms.
In that sense, religion did not start as stupidity or wickedness. It started as an attempt to explain the unknown.
When thunder roared, it was a god.
When crops failed, it was divine anger.
When someone recovered from illness, it was a miracle.
When someone died suddenly, it was destiny or punishment.
This is what many today call the “god of the gaps” idea — where whatever humans could not explain was simply placed in the hands of a god.
As knowledge expanded, those gaps began to shrink.
Biology now explains life, reproduction, and evolution.
Medicine explains diseases, infections, and healing.
Meteorology explains rain, droughts, storms, and climate.
Psychology explains human behavior, emotions, trauma, and belief.
Astronomy explains the heavens once thought to be spiritual realms.
Many things that were once purely religious questions now have natural explanations backed by evidence.
Yet religion remains — not just as a personal belief, but as a powerful social force influencing laws, politics, education, relationships, and even conflict.
This brings me to the real question:
If religion was largely created to answer questions humans could not explain at the time, what role does it truly play today in a world where science and knowledge explain so much?
Some argue religion still provides:
Moral guidance
Community and identity
Comfort in suffering
Meaning and purpose
Others argue:
Morality does not require religion
Religion often divides more than it unites
It discourages critical thinking
It can slow social and scientific progress
It is frequently used as a tool for control
In today’s world, people still pray for healing while rejecting medicine.
People still blame witches, demons, or divine punishment for psychological or medical conditions.
People still fight, discriminate, and kill over religious differences.
So one must ask honestly:
Is religion still a solution — or has it become part of the problem?
Has belief evolved with human knowledge, or has it remained stuck in an ancient framework while the world moved forward?
Is religion now more about tradition, fear, and identity than truth and understanding?
Or does religion still serve a deep human need that science can never replace?
I am not saying religion is useless.
I am also not saying science has all the answers.
But I am asking this sincerely:
Has religion outlived its original purpose, or does it still have a valid role in shaping modern society?
I’d like to hear thoughtful opinions from believers, non-believers, skeptics, and everyone in between.
Let’s discuss respectfully.

THE TRUTH IS NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE GOING AFTER DEATH. ALL LIVING ORGANISM ARE JUST AN EMBODIMENT OF ENERGY. WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE YOU WERE BIRTHED? YOU DONT KNOW, LIKEWISEYOU NOT KNOWING WHERE YOU WILL GO WHEN YOU DIE. CREATOR HAS PUT CREATION INTO AN EVERLASTING LOOP CALLED REPRODUCTION. PEOPEL KEEPDYING AND PEOPLE KEEP GIVING BIRTH ON A DAILY.

WHAT BIRTHED YOU OR CREATED YOU IS THE MIXTURE OF CODE AND ENERGY. YOUR PARENTS EXCHANGED FLUIDS AND MADE YOU, SAME WAY ANIMALS EXCHANGE FLUIDS AND BIRTH THEIR OFFSPRING. WE ARE ALL ENERGY WALKING, TALKING AND DOING GREAT THINGS. WHEN YOU DIE, YOU ENERGY IS TAKEN BACK INTO THE EARTH AND YOUR PHYSICAL AWARENESS ( THIS WORLD) IS GONE. YOU BECOME MANURE, AND YOUR ENERGY FLOWS BACK INTO THE EARTH. WE ARE BEING RECYCLED. YOUR DEAD BODY IS GIVING TO THE EARTH AS DUST, SAND, MANURE ETC, PLANTS GET ENERGY FROM YOUR DEAD AND ROTTEN BODY, HAVE YOU TRIED LEAVING A DEAD BODY IN FIELD, WHAT HAPPENS, IT ROTS AND THE ENERGY IS TAKEN BY THE EARTH AND TRANSFORMED INTO ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY, MAYBE NEW PLANT, MUCOUS, FUNGUS ETC..

THE QUSETION ABOUT WHERE WE GO IS ANSWERED IN THIS WRITE UP, WE ARE GOING NO WHERE, WE ONLY TRANSFORM ENERGY THROUGH THE POWER OF THE EARTH(SOIL), WE ARE ALWAYS HERE 100% OF THE TIME. DO YOU IF YOU HAVE EATEN THE ENERGY FROM ANOTHER ANIMAL OR HUMAN, THE PLANT , ANIMALS AND HUMANS ALL GET AND GIVE ENERGY TO ONE ANOTHER.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE SPIRITUAL OR RELIGIOUS ANGLE, I WILL SAY THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM. BUT AS FAR AS AM CONCERNED, IF HUMANS DIE, THEY GO NOWHERE, THEY ARE STILL A PART OF THE UNIVERSE..

WHAT MADE YOU ASK THIS QUESTION IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS TO QUESTION THINGS, TAKE THAT AWAY AND YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ANIMALS I THE FIELD, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS WHAT IS BEGGING THIS QUESTION. WE ALL DONT ACTUALLY DIE, WE JUST ADD TO WHATS INTHE UNIVERSE, WE ARE GOING NOWHERE....

FxMasterz:
Gabrielshow24 already passed his message to you. That doesn't mean he accepts your denial.

You couldn't even produce at least 5 evidences of people who survived such incidents without surgery, yet you're here trying to disprove an occurrence that is not so rampant, and that happened only after prayer. Or, how many incidents of 360° nail rotation in the tummy have you seen yet in the whole world? All reports online show complications, perforations, surgeries and deaths. The case you brought yesterday was a simple case that never needed a surgery.

Keep denying God. You'll still meet God some day.

Wow, hide your head in shame. You are defeated. After asking for 1, you are now asking for 5. And if he digs deep and produces 5, you will ask him for 10 or 20, and so on. That’s exactly what religion is about. If you go out and come back home safely, you thank god for bringing you home safely. If you have a small accident, you’ll thank the same god that the accident is not much. If the accident is severe and you escape without sustaining major injuries, you’ll thank god. If you sustain a big injury, you’ll thank him you didn’t die. And if you die, your family will still thank him.

It’s a cycle of excuses disguised as faith.

FxMasterz:
You don't need to do much talking my friend.

I have produced evidence of a miracle that happened only after prayers.

Please produce evidence of nails turning 360° in a body without prayers. I mean one in which the sharp end suddenly turns upwards.

SeraphicWind:
Just explain that coincidence to me. Please be aware that I do have a doctorate in philosophy. But that is not my point. My point is;

"Why does the doll the girl is holding having that particular number? Why not another number?

Even if the player has a history of injuries which is doubtful, why is his number on that doll that particular moment? Why was he targeted"?

Again another question;

With the way the girl was hitting that pin, you cannot be so blind to know she is certain it is working. Are you?

She is certain it was working? And you are certain it was working because you think/feel she is certain it was working?

Who thought it was a good idea to give you a Doctorate of Philosophy?

You people never cease to amaze me. Every day, both Christians and non-Christians die. Pastors are kidnapped, just like Muslims and non-religious people — some are killed, others escape unharmed. Tragedy doesn’t discriminate by faith or lack of it. I remember the story of the young lady who was raped and murdered inside a church in Benin — was god asleep then? What you people call “miracles” happen to people of all beliefs, and even to those who don’t pray at all. Likewise, some people pray fervently and still die, while others recover from illness without ever praying. The reality is, such outcomes occur naturally, not because of divine intervention.

HellVictorinho6:
Bcuz u neva understood the question


Mtchw

What I am saying is - your question doesn't make sense.

It will be more sensible if you ask why those that believe in the creation according to science are not questioning it but questioning the creation based on the bible.

Science is not the opposite of religion.

There are many religious scientists and there are many atheists who know nothing about science.


This op is an ignoramus.

helinues:
Prayers refused to work this year. Fasting also this year just be like they decided to be hungry for nothing

When was the last time prayer worked?

Good, but still a scam

KingOfAllIgbos:
What of Pastors deceiving congregations of miracles while using their tithes on luxury and at times even screwing their wives?

What happens to them? Isn't it holding on to sin?

Then the coronavirus pandemic exposed all the pastors of not seeing ANYTHING. They couldn't see start or finish of the outbreak. Yet they are back to fleecing you of tithes.

" fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...shame on me"

Unfortunately, the blind followers still refused to see anything.

ANormalHuman:
As for my example, it's also similar with other cultures, by the way you die, people can tell if you died because of a charm. Because it's a recurring matter, anyone who dies by charm always dies in the exact same pattern, depending on the culture or community.

Now, I was trying to tell my story from my ignorant and unbiased point of view back then when it happened in my childhood

Remember I mentioned that nobody buried him (or touched his dead body on the road).
This was because the elderly people saw the pattern of his death and realized that it's the normal pattern of death for people who are affected by a charm. And it's a law that no one should bury the dead bodies of those types of people.
Later evidences reveal that he actually, was the thief.

These are bogus claims and superstitious beliefs with no concrete evidence.

How does this prove the existence of any deity?

Who confirmed what killed the man?

Yes, they do, but are not effective.

Maynman:
You are an extremist!

Absolutely. I don't argue wiyh that guy again, so stupeed.
