6. Funeral Cannibalism.



Cannibalism or the consumption of a dead body, in most cultures is frowned upon and only considered an option in extreme conditions.

However, some cultures believe that cannibalism is a way for a deceased individual’s abilities can be given to the living.

With enough spices

Chrisviral, what will be my cut when you win the prize?

Wow

A Brazilian woman’s Facebook post about her slightly naive grandmother is a great example of the pitfalls when it comes to praying to inanimate objects.

Calling it the “funniest discovery of 2016,” Gabriela Brandão pointed out that the small plastic figurine her grandmother has been praying to was in fact not an image of Saint Anthony as she had thought, but Elrond, who is an elf from Lord of the Rings.

According to Hermant Mehta of The Friendly Atheist, “the prayers were equally as effective.”

Luckily, Saint Anthony is the “finder of lost articles,” so hopefully the proper graven image will turn up soon.

@ emboldened, I guess we should start praying to Lord Elrond then

HardMirror:
Those bible Stories are exactly what we call them - stories.

Why I stopped being a christian, it was all too obvious. It's nothing but a charade and celebration of gullibility. God is this, god is that, but very useless in real-life situations

Very very useless

mrmrmister:
All it takes is a challenge, just a challenge!
And all the arguements will be put to rest

Deep down they know their god is not real but their religion gives them hypocritical leverage

mrmrmister:
1st Kings 18:27
At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened

Oops! the Bible supports the mockery of other religions

1st Kings 18:36-39
At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
Answer me, LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.
Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD--he is God! The LORD--he is God!"

This is all we ask. PROOF!!!
Is it too much to ask?
Or are you so called christians too chickened to try?

Since I challenged them last year, not one of them as been able to take it up

And na simple challenge o

So, we should be grateful to god for the girl's bad vision?

Queed:
lol..
who else if not johnydon22 and Hahn
would love to lay hands on them
make I hear say they no repent

I will definitely tie you up and deliver you to a psychiatric hospital for talking to yourself vigorously under the guise of "praying"

blueAgent:
Yes God knows.

If it knows and everything is in it's "divine plan" and everything works for it's glory then people who burn him hell do not have any choice because they will go to hell anyways since god wills it. Therefore, it is god's pleasure people burn in hell

Not to mention the fact that there is more suffering than enjoyment on earth which also signifies that it enjoys watching it's creations suffer

Oh, what a loving god

blueAgent:
You are assuming everything is fixed.God knew what the Devil will become he allowed for the good of the entire universe. Everyone has an opportunity to avoid Hell,God's will is not to comdeme people to Hell, people willingly make their choice.

The bone of contention is, "if god is all knowing then it definitely knows those who will make heaven or not". Right or wrong?

OLAADEGBU:
The movie. If not then watch it here:==> www.atheistmovie.com

No time

I am more into comedy

kingebukasblog is probably still dancing at a chosen crusade

Kingebukasblog in action

blueAgent:
God created Satan perfect,Beautiful and Holy.and God gave him the gift of freewill and power which he abused. God is not responsible for the choice made by Satan.

But god knew he would rebel before he rebelled, right?

And everything is created by god for his convenience and pleasure so he created the devil to taunt us so he can throw billions of people, all of which he already knows they will end up there, in hell for eternity. Right?

bennyann:
I got to know something from hahn that atheists have their own Whatsapp group to chat themselves up and also help each other when there's the need to. They've even set a time for a get together.

What do the theists think about it?

Pidgin2, naijadeyhia, LaClicKLaBenDin, Winners01, Anas09, kingebukasblog......

What are your thoughts?

It's a good idea and will help create long term relationships

hopefulLandlord:
what superior arguments haven't been debunked? Thomas Aquinas? Argument from morality? that's the dumbest; fine tuning? definition of atheism? all have been debunked right on that thread + other nonsensical arguments

Seems the embarrassment is not enough for him. He keeps on posting the same links everywhere like he said anything meaningful on them

KingEbukasBlog:
There is no such thing as fake God when you are addressing the Supreme Being . You can only have false concepts of God . Like I said earlier today , Christian theism best describes what is expected from this maximally great being .

That is one of the numerous reasons why I am a Christian not a deist .

You mean that maniacal and genocidal jehovah?

Get real

ianSweet:
How do u mean?

They can be grown in the south too

hopefulLandlord:
Nice one Jack!

we should be picky on which threads are worth our attention from now on

I've observed some threads that's built on dishonest premise

first it was "Atheists prove there is no god"

then "Prove Atheism is logical" amongst other threads

such threads make no sense

I once sent messages to some of my fellow atheists months back telling them to ignore certain threads and concentrate on those that are worth it even if it means NO thread for days or weeks

CC Lennycool, Dalaman, Randomperson, AgentOfAllah, Liberadeus, Hahn

let us attend to only threads that make sense

I am beginning to subscribe to this idea

It is really a waste of time and brain power

DoctorAlien:
Nobody's gonna be punished for eternity. Bad people will be annihilated.

Bible verse?

I have seen one person on Nairaland say that he wants to go to hell. What do you want GOD to do in that case?

It should install ac that's what it should do

DoctorAlien:
That's very presumptuous. How are you sure He does not exist? Is it because you've not seen Him? What if I have seen the GOD I worship?

Have you? Please upload a picture

It wasn't called Africa then: it was called Ethiopia and Libya.

Tell me something

No, He guides and guards and watches to deliver me from any sin that makes me slip. He is willing to do everything possible to make me escape the punishment that bad people will get, because He cannot allow bad people to exist forever.

But he can punish them forever and ever even though they might not live for up to 100 years

He is willing but can't. He knows but does nothing to stop it

Your god created Satan knowing what would happen. In fact, your god supposedly knows people who will burn forever in hell even before creating them.

How sick

KingEbukasBlog:
You can come with any of your family members who has any form of diseases or problems to confirm for yourself.

Well, I have none who need help from your imaginary being so it would be appreciated if you take pictures of your family who will be attending the event. I am sure there are many diseases and problems that god is using to test the faith of your family.

Now will be a good time to cure them

KingEbukasBlog:
I'm used to atheists mocking God so I was surprised you too engaged in such very shallow act .

Wake up. The adherents of the 4000 other religions mock your god as the fake god just as you do the same to theirs

DoctorAlien:
That's very vague. How is a Christian a mental slave?

You are, as a theist generally, a slave to a non existent being. You worship something you have never seen and live your life by a book written by people who do not even acknowledge your existence. In fact, there is no where in the bible where god mentions anything about Africa or where you come from.

Your god monitors your life and is just waiting for you to slip do it can send you to burn for eternity. And it loves you

That my friend is a classic case of mental slavery

blueAgent:
Is that why Athiesm was decleared a state religeon in USSR? the fact is that you athiests are naive to understand the origin purpose and the use of Athiesm by the Elites to acheive New World Order.

Lol. And what is the purpose of Christianity? Are there not more religious countries than secular ones?

What is the benefit of Christianity to Nigeria?

DoctorAlien:
How is Christianity a form of slavery? How are those who are not Christians free?

If this is an analogy meant to describe Christianity...

Mental slavery bro

blueAgent:
If you can read and comprehend this articles you will understand that all those diseases are from Satan.

Really? And who created Satan with the knowledge that satan will spread diseases?

DoctorAlien:
Fixed.

Really?

Well, religion is a form of slavery and it appeals mostly to people with slave mentality. That is the only way such a thing will make sense

I can just picture black Americans during slavery saying, "yes, master whipped us because we misbehaved"

blueAgent:
This is a promise that will be furfilled at the end of this world. so sit tight and watch if God will do it or not. i know my God he can never never never fail.

Diseases, world catastrophe, hunger, poverty etc are proof of your god's failure
