FortifiedCity:


To think that this lady looked so astonishing before now.

Life is mysterious and demands humility from every human.

Kechi, your soul is still beautiful Okay. FortifiedCity loves you. Most importantly God Loves you. I wouldn't mind getting you pregnant with nothing attached. This I will do just to preserve your outer beauty through your offsprings.

God loves her but allowed her to be a victim of a plane crash where most of her friends, who were all kids, died tragically

Una dey use una sense so?

Johnydon would answer that better. He asked the question.

How will you expect johnnydon22 to answer a question he asked you?

If you don't have an answer to the question let us know and stop wasting people's time

winner01:
That would be Johnydons question.

Where is the answer?

okomile:
The SAR man should also die b hanging.

Tit for tat

And the girl?

pocohantas:
Hold any or all of these keys

No need for the car, right?

Maybe I didn't make myself clear, this was my quote.

Doesn't say anything about you being an atheist or not and certainly the question isn't exclusive to atheists.
It's a valid question even when asked to theists, agnostics and other views.

So

Define this "God" first. What is it?

tstx:
God has nothing to do with it bro.... Its just bad genes

So god did not create them?

Holyede:
what about the demons in you? is it cool if i
refer you to a canine psychiatrist?

Lol. YOu are lucky that your mental illness is shared by millions of people around the world and is referred to as religion instead

JackBizzle:
From what I have been reading, butterfly-lying has run mad. He doesnt want to talk to atheists.


I blame Dalaman, hahn, capslocked and hopefullandlord

I have had my fair share of ridiculous arguments with winner01(the meaningless meme lord), kingebukasblog(with his unnecessary use of big words and eventual confusion between deism and christianity) to 4evergod(the serial scammer as it turned out) but I have always avoided that butterflylion for his open display of stupidity.

I'd rather concentrate on my business and family.

No matter how you try you cannot convince an adult that his imaginary friend is not real. Something he/she should have figured out when he became a teenager. At least

God's plan is so mysterious that even it doesn't know what it is going to do next

hopefulLandlord:
TBF there are atheist families too that use the same methods religious families use to teach atheism to their children although they're very rare, its just that its not as effective as scaring them with imaginary friends and afterlife so those children would most likely end up choosing their paths anyways

@emboldened, seriously? You mean there are atheist family that try beat religion out of their kids? How many have you met?

budaatum:
My home was atheistic when I arrived in it. Though both had Bibles, neither parent went to Church or prayed at the time, as they were too busy learning and earning their way. Ma was a nurse. Double pay on Sunday was more important than Church. And Pa a lawyer, was prepared to reason any illogicality out the park. You mentioned ordinary Father Christmas and you'd get books to read on the topic!

I was introduced to God when I arrived in Nigeria. Everyone did God! It was alien to me, but going to Church was the only way to get out of the house on a boring Sunday. So I became a church junky and reading the Bible just became the next logical step being that I am a reader anyway. What else after all does one do when the transformer in front of the house blows up and we got no power for three months. I began to understand how people around me reasoned when all my mates swore blind that oyinbo rats talk.

I think being born into an atheist home is similar to being born into a religious home except your ideology would be atheistic as opposed to religious. You get taught the path you should trod, and only the brave depart from it.

I was born into an atheistic home too and I can argue that, even by your write up, that being born in a religious home and an atheistic home are both very different things.

In a religious home you are forced to believe in god. Religious parents beat, starve, torture and can even disown their children for not attending church or mosque whereas in an atheist home you learn to view things with skepticism and like you mentioned your father made you read on such topics.

As an atheist parent the only thing I do for my kids is make them question whatever belief they pick up from society and research on those topics.

In religious homes usually the bible is the number choice for a read

yorubaboiy:
some pple av just decided not to av sense again.... like WTF are u saying

Why did you decide to join these people that have decided not to have sense?

bigocean:
Jehovah is not an illusion. He is real. Amama amasighi amasi(He whose ways cannot be known completely)

The same evidence you have for Jehovah is the same evidence for Lord Voldemort

bigocean:
the day we understand God is the day he stops being God.

Exactly. That is the whole idea behind illusions. It becomes useless after it is understood

MISEDUCATIONS:
then whose opinion matters?

No one's opinion should matter but facts should

bigocean:
hahn, when God bragged about how faithful his servant was, the devil took permission to afflict job with sickness and also take away his wealth to prove if job would still remain faithful. God permitted him but gave him a strict warning not to touch Job's life.

NOTE: God was aware what job was going to face in the hands of the devil. It was HIS WILL for job to go through it for the purpose of proving a point BUT he didn't put the sickness on job neither did he take away jobs wealth. It was Satan that did those(the cause)

God supposedly knows and created everything today, tomorrow and yesterday, right?

In that case god knew that when he was creating Satan that he will one day tempt job and blah blah blah. Also since everything is it's will, it is it's will for Satan to do those things because it is in it's power to stop it. Since it is it's will it was also caused by it.

Satan is simply the tool used by god to commit evil

MISEDUCATIONS:
yes.
and in your opinion where did the universe come from?

I don't think my opinion matters in such a topic

MISEDUCATIONS:
you'll confuse yourself trying to act smart.
your mother gave birth to you but that doesnt make her responsible for your actions.

Are you comparing my mother with a self acclaimed omnipresent, omniscient, omnietc creator of the universe?

IamPlato:
...


Its Also God's Will For Grinded Pepper To Be In Your Head

And it's will to leave your head empty

MISEDUCATIONS:
ofcourse not. did you log onto Nairaland today because god caused you to?

You actually make sense.

That then implies god did not cause the earth or life to exist. Thanks

MISEDUCATIONS:
notice you did not say Everything is god's causation

So are you saying everything is not caused by god?

MISEDUCATIONS:
did you see god take the cancer, wrap it and address it to her?

Everything is god's will, isn't it? So it is god's will for her to have the cancer in the first place

cabilla:
thank god first miss

The same god that gave her the cancer?

Explorers:
Even if she worth it, name two men in Nigeria that can give a woman ₦700million diamond ring.

What kind of question is this? You should know my caliber and pedigree and you of all people should know I can give my wife such a ring.

The only problem is I do not have the money to buy the ring

splmosixx:
I prefer not to exchange words with you on this...


Jesus Christ has saved me several times, and I will keep calling on him and cover as many as possible with his blood....

@hahn,i cover your brain with the blood of Jesus, henceforth begin to reason like a normal being

Continue serving a failure. That is what failures do

splmosixx:
May God never us die untimely death....

We shall not ply the road, when the road is hungry for blood....

I cover myself and everyother nairalanders with the blood of Jesus

The same Jesus that could not save the many people that died? When will you people start using your brains?

Lukuluku69:
In that wise, it would be safe to say our delusion is Universe-wise?

Universe-wise Universal. Well this is all based on assumption

The only fact is that religion is motivated by delusion

menesheh:
What would you do to a neighbour who is always threatening and ready to fight you where you ain't interested.

I have this neither who always do this and I feel like inviting the police. I see fighting as an uncultured and childish way of living.
This is really getting out of hand.
Engaging the police the best solution?

Which one be neither ogbeni?

Report to your landlord.

Can you give us an example of what brings up your arguments?

Lukuluku69:
Suppose these extraterrestrials fear the unknowns, fear for their afterlife too and are looking for comforting "beliefs" and as well want to feel good, could they be as religious as we are here on Earth?

Sure.

Religion is a product of fear and ignorance

Religion exists mostly because of fear, fear of the unknown, fear of the afterlife and also because it is comforting and makes people feel good. It has nothing to do with logic.

Therefore in the event that we discover alien life theists will only attribute it's existence to their gods.

Think about it, despite all the evidence against religious notions, despite all the contradictions in their "holy" books, despite the fact that their gods are incompetent and professionals at playing hide and seek, despite the ridiculous and childish stories used to back up religious nonsense people still believe in them simply because it makes them feel good, gives them a sense of power over "sinners" ie people who don't believe in their own version of god etc

That said religion will continue to thrive as long as people remain gullible, choose to be intellectually dishonest and are incapable of facing reality

falcon01:
so he is mad?

Just like the pastor of Lord's Chosen and his congregation
