A took is someone who rejects correction and never learns even though he keeps getting horsewhipped on a daily

But our slave masters whipped us into believing Jesus just so they could control us. Today, we believe in Jesus without being whipped. What does that make us?

That a white man, god, exists in the sky.
That they are children of Israel or Saudi Arabia

You simply can't be totally certain of something you have no proof about.

I am an Agnostic Deist; i maintain the opinion that there is a God, but i'm not assertive.


@bolded, why use conditional statement if u are so sure?

Lol. You mean the same way theists are so sure of their different gods that they have never seen?

I am always open to suggestions.

How did you come to the conclusion there is a god and what are it's attributes?

KingEbukasBlog:
god ? Which god ?

Jehovah the incompetent god. The god who sits back and watches little kids suffer and die from disease and poverty and still sends them to hell for eternity for not believing in his gay son Jesus

All Christians will end up in the muslim hell. There is no escaping it

Well without satan, god will be useless.

You wouldn't need to pray to it or fast or give it 10% of your salary or pay offering for guarantee of safety from the devil.

It makes as much sense as it impregnating Mary to give birth to itself so it can die just to please itself.

Of course the men who created "God" were very smart

I'm a deist, i don't agree with divine intervention(except proven otherwise), so i get your point, this proves that the people were ignorant and it was not God.
But my question is, what ignorance have u filled to come to the conclusion that there is no God.

If you feel I did not answer this question satisfactorily, maybe you should elaborate.

Also, how did you come to the conclusion that a God exists? And how would you describe it's features? Is it male or female? Black or white? Veggie or McDonald's?

Hmmm. I just gave you a general definition. I am guessing you expect a personal one.

Well, I didn't grow up a theist in the first place. I grew up with the knowledge that all religions and their gods are man made and so far there has been no evidence for "God", at least as described by religion. If it exists, it is either incompetent, not interested in humans as we like to think or really doesn't give a fvck.

I am not a scientist either so do not bring in evolution

I would have loved to refer this guy to my lawyer and get him a lawsuit against Samsung if not for the fact that Samsung released a statement just few days ago and instructed that all those still in posession of the note 7 should power it down and disuse the device.

If this guy can prove this happened prior to the corporate statement then he has a case and in that case he should get in touch with me ASAP, otherwise, sorry!

His phone is a note 3 not even a note 7

Lalasticlala, seun why is this not yet on front page?

Toke requested for someone's account details, we are not even sure if she actually sent the guy the 10k, and it made front page but hungerbad actually sent more than 10 times of that and it is not yet on front page?

Awkward

They teach them that god created everything and that heaven awaits them so they can just sit around and be stupid. No need to do anything since they will eventually inherit heaven

4kings:
You've told me this before.
Ok, what gaps have u filled to come to your conclusion

Last year, I think, somewhere in Ondo state about 10 people reportedly died "mysteriously" (I cannot remember the exact figure but the news was posted here on nairaland) and everyone in the village rushed into their houses to get water and then proceeded to their village shrine to pour water on their goddess. Apparently, they believed "god did it".

Luckily for them, some guys went there and investigated and discovered they all died from local gin(ogogoro). And thus "the gap was filled".

There are several instances like this throughout history that go as far back as when people, even in Europe, thought small pox was of the devil or a punishment from god.

Do you get the picture?

Vince77:
Ok. I will keep checking

I am online right now

4kings:
Wowwww, "ignorant assumptions"
Please educate me

The concept of god was created when people didn't know much about the earth. The word "god" is used mainly to fill in gaps of knowledge, most times when we are ignorant about the subject in question. How did this get here, "god did it". It is an ignorant assumption

4kings:
did u even compare the basis for considering "spiderman" and a "creator/prior intelligence"?
spiderman - as a result of woolgathering.
intelligent designer - as a result of rational thinking.

So NO, i don't need faith to believe that spiderman does not exist.

Same way I do not need faith to come to the conclusion that god does not exist

Rational thinking or ignorant assumptions? Seems to be a thin line between these two

Vince77:
Bros i cant find ur number on whatsapp

You will. Maybe it's network issues


I use whatsapp for customer care for my site and handle enquiries amongst other things

EyeHateGod:
My Aunt. Though I could Assume It's from stress and too much thinking. Like some kind of Static shock we get some times that makes our leg jerk.

Yeah

It could symptoms of something we are ignorant about

EyeHateGod:
Hahn What of Logical Explanation for "Demonic Slap" av heard of it don't know if it's true or not and also this Stuff that people put on the floor it's like white powder, When u step on it Ull Get stroke Don't know if they are true sha...

That is the problem. Most of these things are based on heresay. I doubt if you know someone who has actually beem slapped spiritually.

Besides, if it were real we wouldn't need soldiers to fight wars. We would just send slaps to all boko haram members in sambisa forest

I know you aren't obligated to, but is there any possibility you can share with a brother?

Sure. Can you build a site?

sumborri:
Always playing the victim card to mask their stupidity. Why did God pollute eden with these creatures. No logical reasoning whatsoever. God they disgust me

Too bad you feel that way about your mom

maestro299:
Nice work OP. But I've seen many of these ideas before. Any other not-so-well-known suggestions?

Everyone want to go into what already works. The online business I am into is not listed here

4kings:
Sure there is no evidence that a God did it or otherwise.
So being very assertive of either point is baffling, bearing in mind that atheists dislike the word "FAITH".

Do you need faith to "believe" that spiderman does not exist in reality?

4kings:
@bolded; They don't regard a "separate higher being outside of the universe", that's panentheism

I also wonder how they see this.

Because there is no evidence for it
If you say god did it you would have to specify which god exactly

And that usually takes us back to square one because if god created the universe, who created god?

What is so funny?

calliope:
Fear Church people

Pastor my Arse.

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

What else you expect from people who believe in talking snakes and donkeys?
