hakeem4:
same way islam was spreading with jihad. so why do both religion hate themselves ?

They are united in hate, ironically.

-They both have unfavourable views on atheists
-They both see women as inferior
-They both have racist issues as the both have special chosen races "Jews", "Arabs".


A christian cannot see its own bad treatment of women but can see it in islam and vice versa

hakeem4:
Christianity became popular because of emperor constatine and the Christians of those did crusade

Butterflyl1on is a clown. He doesnt know that christianity was mostly spread by violence and colonialism In the past.

adepeter2027:
Una see the timing above

Lemme not talk sha

The good thing to come out of this derailing is that it showcases how the trolls "work together".

hopefulLandlord:
you entertained those pained Christians' derailing tactics

Even without my actions the thread was still being derailed as they were also talking to each other.

Coordinated troll attack.

It takes a truly pained christian to come to an atheist thread to derail.

There was no internet in 5 BC yet there were atheists. If there could be atheists in 5 BC even without the internet and there came Christians 500 years later even without the internet yet both grew until the internet emerged and Christianity even without the internet spread like wild fire while atheism struggled and now with the internet the spread of Christianity has tripled while atheism is still struggling and just growing to match the pace of the increase in world population and not growing apart from the world population.

Those atheists were hindus. A minority considering that they were one out of six schools of hinduism.

My guy, take your deceitful ways elsewhere.

Does it surprise you that your new name is DumbBizzle? You are the king of the dumb people in the world

Felixomoron rolls off the tongue better as a name

KingEbukasBlog:
You do realize that at some point there were more atheists than Christians , at some point in History there were thousands of atheists and no Christian . Fast forward , there are now close to 3 billion Christians and 140 million atheists .

And they had the internet in 5bc?

Why are you just ready to show your mumu?

butterflyl1on:
He says A GOOD TRUTHFUL IDEA WILL GROW IN THE MIND

you then wonder why billions are religious worldwide and make up almost half the world's population.

If good and truthful ideas grow in the mind why then do you think religion is false when it's own growth has been the real deal WILD FIRE!

Does it surprise you that there are more dumb than smart people in the world?

There was an abolitionist movement founded by Christians to fight against slavery

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Abolitionism

Meanwhile in 2017 , president of atheist nation Kim Jong-Un takes 13 year old girls as sex slaves
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/perverted-north-korea-leader-kim-11206069

Leave atheism because of the paedophilia and slavery practiced by an atheist nation

What a daft reply. Was christianity implicit in the translatlantic slave trade? YES! Churches have apologized for their roles in slavery.

There is even slavery in the bible.

My guy, go and sleep. You can't even see how dull your comment is. Do you know any communist here among nairaland atheists?

KingEbukasBlog:
Atheism started between the 5th and 6th century BC and became popular around second century BC in countries like India , Christianity started in the first century AD .

Since Christianity started 500 years later , it means at some point there were atheists and no Christians and more atheists than Christians(when Christianity began).

Its just common sense sir , what atheists lack apparently

You mean hinduism?

Seriously bro. See how you lie? Who is talking about hindusim in India?

butterflyl1on:
The bolded must be the most stupid thing I have ever heard in a long while

Jumbo dumbo actually thinks the internet creates more atheists than the religious. Guy you better go and return your non useful brain to whoever gave it to you.

Chai

And how many people has your church website converted?
And how many people has nairaland religion section converted to christianity?

The same nairaland religion section that has created so many atheists.


This is my last response to you. I know you want to derail. BYE!

branhampaul:
But there are some Individuals who have been brainwashed so hard that no matter what you tell them, they will never question their belief, mostly ladies..

Ideas are like seeds. A good/truthful idea will grow in the mind.

Unfortunately, just as seeds need fertile grounds, ideas need fertile brains. Some religious people don't have fertile brians

felixomor:
I can also count your views of NL Christian threads as increasing fire too na abi? Despite u being atheist.

Ewwwwwwwwwwe,
The joke is on u.
Lmaolol

How does that relate to anything I said? What do nairaland christian threads have to do with atheism growing. We are straying away from the op.

The op applies to christianity as well. Afterall, christianity spread throughout the world once. You just see anything that an atheist posts as an attack on christianity

butterflyl1on:
Jumbo the dumbo always using words that do not match the reality

felixomor:
I dey tell u
Lol

I've reported. Zero tolerance to derailing.

felixomor:
And that's the fire abi ?
LmaoLol

Youtube is a global website. Atheist channels and news gain millions of views. Youtube is one example. There are other forums and sites all over the internet.

You can scoff at your ignorance.

butterflyl1on:
A lot of the religious also thank YouTube, TBN, Christian websites as the factors that brought the good news of the gospel to them and got them born again so what's your point?

Partly true and partly false.

The internet creates far more atheists than religious people. Very few people actually become christians/muslim from online preaching.

What I do know is that most people who listen to online christian broadcasts are already christians.

felixomor:
Lol @ spread like fire

Yes. A lot of atheists thank youtube and reddit as the factor that made them leave religion.

Where is the op?

"An idea is like a virus. Resilient. Highly contagious. And even the smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you."
-DOM COBBS, INCEPTION.

"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere"
-DOM COBBS, INCEPTION.



Have you ever wondered when the exact moment was that a believer changed from being a believer to an unbeliever? Have you ever wondered what made Fela Kuti stand up to the Nigerian government? Have you ever wondered what made Seun build Nairaland?

IT WAS AN IDEA THAT STARTED ALL THIS. A VERY SIMPLE IDEA!

I was a christian and it was a simple idea that began my journey into atheism- "what if this religion is slave religion?". The question entered my head the day a white man in london told me that I'm a still a slave following the religion of the slave masters of my ancestors. That question kept repeating itself in my head. Little did I know that the question will build up slowly to me losing my religion.

The question lead me to google "christianity and slavery". I started reading about the racism and religion involved in the transatlantic slavery. I kept on reading and reading about slavery and religion until I could take no more. Within the next 2 months, I had already decided that Yahweh was a racist and christianity is a slave religion. Few weeks later, I was a full blown atheist.

A simple idea is powerful, especially if it is the truth. It stays in your mind pushing and forcing you not to ignore it.

This is why atheism has spread like wildfire due to the internet. Once an open and educated mind is hit with the truth that God and religion are both a bunch of lies, the mind has no choice but to build on that idea and research on it. The internet has helped to spread such a simple idea worldwide. This is why numerous studies show that atheism is growing.

This is why I say that atheists should never stop arguing for the truth. A simple idea can build a nation.

NPComplete:
No matter how bad you are, you still have to feel sorry for THT80 though.
From his posts you can tell he has been lurking in the shadows all this while reading Nairaland as a guest or with an alternative account. Gently penning down his thoughts and refining them. Putting the right words and grammar at the right places and beautifying it with a cosmetic of word salad.

He had carefully selected what he considers the strongest intellectual sections on Nairaland; the religious section and the literature section. He is going to force his intelligence on them and Nairaland will know of the rising of a genius. And for good measure he decided to add the romance section too. Surely those bimbos there will swoon at the sight of his English and trip over themselves as they flock to him. Easy pickings. Finally he was going to have his big moment.

He was going to prove to himself he was truly intelligent even though the events in his life seem to show otherwise. People he considers inferior are doing better in life yet he himself, for all his intelligence, has nothing to show and was beginning to look like a joke. The intelligence must count for something. He must feel in control again. Nairaland will be a good place to start.

Sadly it was not to be so. Now everything has backfired spectacularly. Turns out them bimbos aren't as gullible as he thought. What was supposed to be very easy turned out to be very hard. Now he is being shred by little girls in the romance section, mauled by the inferior writers in the literature section and sodomised by atheists in the religious section. This is not how it was all supposed to go.

This was supposed to be a triumph. Now he his even worse off than before he opened this account. Even less self-esteem, no triumph, no groupies, no nothing. All he has now is only shame, more enemies........and the giant bag of dicks he is being forced to suck on.

Poetic destruction.

Ode so the US treasury website is lying about the use of the slogan on coins first in 1864?

The 1956 approval was for paper money and it is even in black and white in my comment and you still didn't see it? Let me post it clearly here for you Mr certified dummy.

Congress approved for coins in 1864 while the president approved for paper money in 1956. It's English oo Mr dummy

As a heathen nation under THE GODDESS OF LIBERTY America fell apart but somehow the yet religious were used to restore her glory which was what prompted the change and the adoption of the motto BY GENERAL CONSENSUS!

IF E DEY PAIN YOU GO AND EAT CEMENT!


This below is the approval for paper money

CAN YOU NOW CLEARLY SEE THAT YOU ARE A MEDICALLY CERTIFIED DUMMY?

Desperation.


Swerve

ZandhaZaraZ:
Expect that to be his last response to you. He said the same shiit in response to a post of mine that posed a SERIOUS THREAT to his nonexistent intellect. Seeing him trying to dodge the question by claiming to be unaffliated with Christianity, I had to give a scathing reply, but like the pointless, headless, clueless, brainless windbag he is, he didn't respond, and the next time I came to view his "progress", I could no longer find that post---it had been deleted.

Useless bastard. His arrogance in ignorance and emptiness is what disgusts me the most.

Like I said, do not expect a reply from that boastful, but empty, goat. Brutality has taken upon the form of man and already came here to rape him anyway. So, his brain is currently empty.

I know his type. He is nothing but a troll account

butterflyl1on:
Numerous studies have also shown that atheists are dummies and also mentally sick. Plus numerous facts show that the religious trounce atheists in the IQ index and atheists who ate actually smart are a huge minority.

Oh and by the way the reason why America adopted IN GOD WE TRUST was due to those who made America great.

You think America adopted in God we trust in 1956? It was already in use in the 1860s on coins and only got approval to be used on paper money in 1956. YOU ARE SUCH A DUMMY!

READ BELOW AND BE ASHAMED! NOTE THE HIGHLIGHTED PORTIONS!

History of 'In God We Trust'

The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout persons throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize the Deity on United States coins. From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861. It was written to Secretary Chase by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania, and read:
Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances.
One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.
You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW.
This would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my hearth I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters.
To you first I address a subject that must be agitated.
As a result, Secretary Chase instructed James Pollock, Director of the Mint at Philadelphia, to prepare a motto, in a letter dated November 20, 1861:
Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.
You will cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition.
It was found that the Act of Congress dated January 18, 1837, prescribed the mottoes and devices that should be placed upon the coins of the United States. This meant that the mint could make no changes without the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress. In December 1863, the Director of the Mint submitted designs for new one-cent coin, two-cent coin, and three-cent coin to Secretary Chase for approval. He proposed that upon the designs either OUR COUNTRY; OUR GOD or GOD, OUR TRUST should appear as a motto on the coins. In a letter to the Mint Director on December 9, 1863, Secretary Chase stated:
I approve your mottoes, only suggesting that on that with the Washington obverse the motto should begin with the word OUR, so as to read OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY. And on that with the shield, it should be changed so as to read: IN GOD WE TRUST.
The Congress passed the Act of April 22, 1864. This legislation changed the composition of the one-cent coin and authorized the minting of the two-cent coin. The Mint Director was directed to develop the designs for these coins for final approval of the Secretary. IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin.
Another Act of Congress passed on March 3, 1865. It allowed the Mint Director, with the Secretary's approval, to place the motto on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon." Under the Act, the motto was placed on the gold double-eagle coin, the gold eagle coin, and the gold half-eagle coin. It was also placed on the silver dollar coin, the half-dollar coin and the quarter-dollar coin, and on the nickel three-cent coin beginning in 1866. Later, Congress passed the Coinage Act of February 12, 1873. It also said that the Secretary "may cause the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to be inscribed on such coins as shall admit of such motto."
The use of IN GOD WE TRUST has not been uninterrupted. The motto disappeared from the five-cent coin in 1883, and did not reappear until production of the Jefferson nickel began in 1938. Since 1938, all United States coins bear the inscription. Later, the motto was found missing from the new design of the double-eagle gold coin and the eagle gold coin shortly after they appeared in 1907. In response to a general demand, Congress ordered it restored, and the Act of May 18, 1908, made it mandatory on all coins upon which it had previously appeared. IN GOD WE TRUST was not mandatory on the one-cent coin and five-cent coin. It could be placed on them by the Secretary or the Mint Director with the Secretary's approval.
The motto has been in continuous use on the one-cent coin since 1909, and on the ten-cent coin since 1916. It also has appeared on all gold coins and silver dollar coins, half-dollar coins, and quarter-dollar coins struck since July 1, 1908.
A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States. IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate.

Cc felixomor

I knew that you would grasp for straws woth the 2 cent coins.


Ogbeni. Read your own link. The motto was official by the president in 1956. What i said was fact.


You did not know this until i told you and you ran to google too look for straws.


In god we trust was never originally an american thing until religious nutjobs used their influence. Their founding fathers did not put such a motto.

America started in 1776. Your strawman coin was in 1856. Almost a century to remember that they trust in god?

Dunce. I will ignore your lies on atheism and intelligence

terrezo2002:
In Nigeria, we have just few believers. Many are unbelievers who go to church for cover. They are just like you. If people practice what Christianity preaches, they will excel

Nonsense.

THT80:
If you can tell me any place where I indicated that I was a Christian or had any affiliation with Christianity, maybe I'll consider you as being worthy of a response from me.

lol so you are not a christian? So what is your belief? Pls, no dodging

THT80:
Pained atheist babies are still crying. How pathetic.

Next time, learn to formulate your own ideas independently. Stop plagiarizing posts by smarter foreigners on online forums and you won't suffer the embarrassment you all just did.

butterflyl1on:
Was it the increase in atheist dummies in America that made America great? The religious made America great and what are the dummies now wanting to bring to the table? Nothing but foolishness. No wonder America maintains "IN GOD WE TRUST". the dummies don't like that do they?

The "In God We Trust" motto was adopted in 1956.

USA was formed in 1776.



Your ignorance will not kill you.


You call atheists dummies but then, numerous studies have shown that atheists tend to be smarter on average than religious folk

Wow! The number of dummies keep increasing in America. What a pity

With all the "smart believers" in Nigeria, how far has the country gone?
