If you can only use my proof(the Bible), you'll not be having migraine about whether Jesus is black, white or green in colour.

How do you know I have a migraine?

cococandy:
Post all the story here jare

Op, we are waiting

Inception:
na wa o. pls NEVER BUY WHAT YOU HAVE NOT PHYSICALLY INSPECTED!

It is news like this that is crippling e-commerce business in Nigeria.

Oahray:
dude, Nazarene and Nazirite aren't the same. A Nazarene simply is from Nazareth (Jesus lived there since infancy). Has nothing to do with hair. You people should stop mixing them up.

If you must mock the Bible, at least know what it says.

What is a Nazirite then?

I agree with this. Business is not all about making money but more about satisfying customers. When a clients feels happy about an order or the way they are treated, they instantly become your advertising managers. For free!

Free gifts, free shipping, discounts, royalties, 24hours customer care service etc are very effective ways towards satisfying your customers.

Satisfy your customer first and then sales will come.

Nice one op

Richirich713:
Lol I would love to see a survey showing that there are millions of atheists born everyday.

An atheist is someone who believes there is no God not a baby who doesn't even no wat God means.

Exactly!

A baby doesn't know till he/she is told. One cannot believe what one has no knowledge of. Get it? You are a product of the culture or family you are born into. If your parents were Buddhists you would probably not give your religion a second thought.

So, when you believe in something and you decide to convince someone else to believe in it you owe it to the person to prove why he/she should believe it.

I see you conveniently skipped and ignored to address that your religion is young. I am assuming you are a Christian. Before Jesus said, "love your neighbor as you love yourself", as claimed in the bible Confucius already said that just as many older religions before yours taught their people to love each other.

Ensure you address this point in your reply. I'd like to know what you think about it.

Richirich713:
Wrong again Christianity existed before u atheists came along, u are the ones who need to prove us wrong not ask us to prove our beliefs to u.

Nope. Everyone is born an atheist before someone starts feeding or passing down lies to them.

Besides, Christianity is still young compared to other religions such as Buddism and even then atheists existed. Yahweh/Jehovah is actually a very young god. You should google it or ask johnnydon22, he's the religious expert around here

Once again, you guys are the ones disturbing us to believe in your imaginary friends. So, you have to prove to us why.

Richirich713:
Wrong just cuz sumthing can't be prove doesn't mean we should stop believing it.

If people want us to stop believing in the flood they should prove it wrong not ask us to prove it to them.

It is your belief and you are the ones that keep throwing it in our faces. You say your god is real and we say, "prove it". Why should i bother to prove something you believe in?

tpiander:
seems you need both imaginary and imagined friends to tell you that.

Lol. If you don't answer my question don't expect me to answer yours. I have had it with theists on this forum throwing questions that keep discussions, arguments to you and your like, going around in circles while at the same time refusing to answer questions presented to them.

Perhaps your god needs to create a nairaland account so he can defend himself because you guys are doing a really bad job and you only make it look more and more ridiculous

Image123:
Okay, but at the same time, you believe He doesn't exist right?

Lol. What is this? Wordplay?

I don't believe he exists but you do. I can only use your proof that he exists, the bible, which just so happens to contain pages that contradict themselves to prove to you just how silly it sounds. Capish?

vfactor:
Now tell me about Godless countries....how better to they fair?

Consider, for example, a March 2009 academic article in Sociology Compass that extensively researched the subjects raised by Plante. The article, by Phil Zuckerman of Pitzer College, is entitled "Atheism, Secularity, and Well-Being: How the Findings of Social Science Counter Negative Stereotypes and Assumptions" (link is external) and, unlike Plante's article, it cites detailed studies of the areas in question.

Zuckerman analyzed a wide array of data comparing religious nations to less religious nations and also, interestingly, religious states within the United States (i.e. "Bible-belt" states) to less religious states. While I encourage readers to examine the article directly through the link above, here are just a few of the highlights:

Criminal Behavior:

Citing four different studies, Zuckerman states: "Murder rates are actually lower in more secular nations and higher in more religious nations where belief in God is widespread." He also states: "Of the top 50 safest cities in the world, nearly all are in relatively non-religious countries."

Within the United States, we see the same pattern. Citing census data, he writes: "And within America, the states with the highest murder rates tend to be the highly religious, such as Louisiana and Alabama, but the states with the lowest murder rates tend to be the among the least religious in the country, such as Vermont and Oregon."

And these findings are not limited to murder rates, as rates of all violent crime tend to be higher in "religious" states. Zuckerman also points out that atheists are very much under-represented in the American prison population (only 0.2%).

Marriage and Family:

Zuckerman cites a 1999 Barna study that finds that atheists and agnostics actually have lower divorce rates than religious Americans.

He also cites another study, in Canada, that found conservative Christian women experienced higher rates of domestic violence than non-affiliated women.

Unprotected Sex:

As for Plante's claim that studies have "consistently " found that religious people are less likely to engage in unprotected sex, that claim is directly refuted by a 2009 study that found the reverse - teens who make religion-inspired "virginity pledges" are not only just as likely as their non-pledging peers to engage in premarital sex, but more likely to engage in unprotected sex.

Other Findings of Interest:

Happiness: The most secular nations in the world report the highest levels of happiness among their population.

Altruism: Secular nations such as those in Scandinavia donate the most money and supportive aid, per capita, to poorer nations. Zuckerman also reports that two studies show that, during the Holocaust, "the more secular people were, the more likely they were to rescue and help persecuted Jews."

Of course i read the boring OP. You certainly haven't read the link on my Signature Profile, it coincidentally addresses the thread perfectly.

The you should read https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/our-humanity-naturally/201103/misinformation-and-facts-about-secularism-and-religion

Okay. But you believe He killed His Son right?

I don't believe in god. Period.

Those stories are only products of primitive barbaric people.

If he did then it only proves how evil god is. Why kill your son to prove a point? Pure nonsense.

Will you kill your son just to prove a point?

tpiander:
no it doesnt, unfortunately.

Does whatever you follow not teach you how to answer questions?

Respect is reciprocal. You don't need an imaginary friend to teach you that.

alaoeri:
Lack of proper planning, most areas in Lagos are below the sea level, was in Sokoto about 3years ago despite been in a semi desert region the drainage system are better compare to that of Lagos. The highbrow areas ain't exempted, some part of Ikoyi & Lekki have shitty drainages which result to flooding of the road after heavy downpour.

You must be trying hard to compliment Lagos. The city has NO drainage system

tpiander:
what do you think happened to it?

or do you feel it should be found just like dinosaur bones.

Answering a queation with a question is rude. Doesn't your bible teach you manners?

vfactor:
Why re so called Godless men like the ruler of North Korea, former Cambodian leader and Josef Stalin renowned for atrocities. I mean they are atheists, so they should have more common sense and human sympathy, right?

Despite how godly Nigeria is, she is still way back by at least 100years in terms of infrastructural development as well as economic and political prowess. At least 98% of our law makers are either Christians or Muslims and they are all corrupt.

Countries with a large population of atheists are better off than religious countries by far. Check out the middle east and all you see if war. Israel and Palestine have been going at it for years. God hasn't seen it fit to cause peace in those lands

Check nairaland fp and all the cases of rape, drug smuggling, armed robberies etc are all committed by theists.

There is no correlation between religion and morality. As a matter of fact, the more religious a country is the worse it gets as regards peace and basic infrastructure. Religious countries are also known to NOT have fair structures as regards human rights. They show no tolerance towards the religion and belief of other people and it is most times either you adhere to their rules or get killed. However, they are quick to impose their religion on other societies they migrate to.

Israel, the supposed nation of god, has engaged in war for so many years against Palestine you would expect them to know better.

These are plain evidences that god is useless.

There was never a time wen God destroyed the whole world.

Apparently, they experienced Lekki kind of flood in their neighborhood and out of their ignorance assumed it affected the whole world.

The worst of it is that they are Africans. . if they were championing African lores and myths to the world thats fine but Semitic myths? .... seriously?

If the missionaries reworked and brought Greek myth here, these ones would swear Perseus really had a flying horse..

Blame the dumb dumb that thought it is wiser to teach religion instead of history in our schools

Wetin do my siggy, Mr Hahn.

Nothing o. If only stupid people could think

johnydon22:
Don't know what you all are yapping over... The biblical Noah myth is just a young copy of an older flood tale found in the epic of Gilgamesh..


When will you all stop peddling unfounded Semitic mythology... habaaa

Lol. By the way these Christians defend their fables, they make it seem like being stupid is an achievement

menesheh:
Even if Noah’s story is real, wood cannot be fossilize taking into account the number of years that is involved.

Noah story is a bogus one.

Yeah, I know that. I'm just having fun. Can't you see how quick Christians are to defend a fable?

Mynd44:
6,375 feet is not that high so please that is no excuse.

@OP, The Bible was clear that the ark was made of wood. Decay maybe? The ark was immersed in water for days and I doubt anyone took care to preserve it since then.


This is more logical

Finally, someone that uses his brain.

It's a logical explanation but that doesn't manke the story true especially when you consier the origin of the story.

Thanks for your input

Reading....

Op, your signature though

Tallesty1:
Hope you're not losing sleep over this?

It's rude to answer a question with a question. Does your bible teach you manners at all?

Of all the stories in the bible, the story of Noah and his ark has to be the most compelling and also the most probable to have left evidence. However, the ark has never been found despite the fact that it was big enough to contain all the animals in the world.

Christians, do you have any explanation for this?
