I strongly encourage nairaland members to spare the lives of wild animals they encounter. You can take pictures without killing them.

Everything in life is not all about money, working hard (although the Holy Spirit can show you how to work smart instead of working hard), There are different problems we encounter as individuals, I have a job yes, but I have other needs money cannot solve, believe me when I say money cannot solve them, there are people with incurable diseases, there are some with abusive spouses, some have trouble getting a mate, some are stagnant in their life, The Holy Spirit can give you guidance regarding what to do, he has different ways of talking to his children, sometimes it can come as an advise from some other person, or a fleeting thought can just cross your mind, and when you work on it you succeed, I can go on and on about this, my brother this world is not made up of just the material things you see around you, there is a lot more we cannot see, trust me bro I have been there, everything you see in the material world is controlled by the spiritual, the spirit realm is as real as the physical, I dare say it is even more real than what you see around you, I want to challenge you, fast with us for three days and observe the midnight prayers, you will see in a change in your dreams, if you are earnest in your prayers God will answer you, in fact na people like you God dey find to show you a sign to follow him.

I'm not a theist-atheist kind of person but i just want to clarify something....

the op's question “define God" is invalid except in some situations.... let me explain... its only valid when there is a misunderstanding between the theist and the atheist on the concept of “God".... but then... that's a wrong way to ask the question... it should rather be “what view of God are you talking about?"
basically... different people have different definitions for “God" cuz God is not a name but a title... some Christians/muslims/few other theists still view God as a white bearded man in the sky... others call “God" energy... some say the universe is God... some say the universe is the soul of God... basically, people have different views of God and different things they call “God"... majority of atheists are against the white bearded man mentality .... so a theist cannot tell an atheist to define God... the theist has to bring forth his own definition of God first... then maybe... if there is a misunderstanding in the discussion whereby the atheist seems to be arguing against a different view from the theist, then the theist can now ask the atheist to “define God(or better still... ask for the view of God he is arguing against)" so that the theist can understand the concept of God the atheist is arguing against and then correct it... let me give an instance

wilgrea7: i believe in God(christian/muslim)

atheist: i don't believe in God

in the above, the atheist must have understood the concept of the Christian/muslim God... then asking the atheist to define God would be a waste of time and a bad thing to do... cuz we both know the concept of God we're dealing with...

second scenario

wilgrea7: i believe in God(religion/faith not stated)

atheist: i don't believe in God..

wilgrea7:the universe is the soul of God
(atheist not understanding, then starts arguing against the white bearded view of God)

wilgrea7: define God(or better still) .. what view of God are you talking about

atheist: *lists his view*(white bearded man)

wilgrea7: that is not my view... i believe that all the galaxies etc are the soul of God.. i don't believe in the white bearded man view

atheist: (then understands and can now reject or argue against the panentheistic view)

note: the second scenario is very rare and only applies in case of misunderstanding.... however... the question “define God" is invalid... if there is a misunderstanding, the theist should ask “what view of God are you arguing against?".... again... only applies in case of misunderstanding...

Abegi, all the people ever born have not reached 300 billion..

According to estimates by demographic researchers at the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), as of 2015, there have been 108.2 billion who have ever been born. Taking away the roughly 7.4 billion who are alive today, we get 100.8 billion who have died before us.

I am none and yet He is my Lord.

He is now ashamed .. just check his next comment

venai:
Freedom of worship is allowed.

Junia:
Please speak like a grown up.

There are and there will always be good and bad people in the world irrespective of their religious status.

Some Christians still practise evil and others change the lives of others through charity and good works.

But you people will only spot the bad ones.

Well, its the world. Nothing is strange.

Jesus Is Lord.

venai:
I believe in God Chukwu okike; I believe Jesus christ, the only begotten son of God my saviour; I believe in The Holy Spirit, the omnipotent power of God; I respect and reverence The Omenala Igbo. But i refuse to worship a moulded mud, molten image, ife akpuru akpu of all kinds as God.

BaEnki:
Old man like you raising middle finger lol hehehe

Anyways bullying religion bodies would make us athiests look irresponsible, I always say; what's the relevancy in attacking non existent being/s.

We can't argue against god not in existence, because it's in futility rather theists should bring on logical arguments to make us believe in the existence of their god/s.

Atheism isn't a belief lest it needs to be protected like other beliefs, rather it should be a personal conviction as a result of logical reasoning and questioning.

Lower your middle finger egbon.

BaEnki:
Hello guys, you are making are making mockery of yourselves.

Junia:
Meaningless. Its meaningful brother. You are just a hypocrite .. thats all.
What you have just done and always do are proofs.

Christians read from Bible .... Critisize them
Otem read from Doctufos .... Support him

Create a thread and quote from Doctufos.


What does this demonstrate

Junia:
Another hypocrite.
The Bible is a fiction book and yet pastors are following Jesus who you believe never existed.
You never critisize Otem when he quote from his book but you critisize Christians from quoting from the Bible.

See how the devil has made you a hypocrite.
You will never critisize one of your own (Otem)
