The ability to engage in debate is a sign of a sound mind who is confident about his beliefs.
If you're convinced that what you believe is true, there is no reason to shy away from civil discourse about your belief.
Jesus himself (as recorded by the Buybull) took on Pharisees and Sadducess many times.
It's all part of the brainwashing, indoctrination tactics and caging your mind to a single and flawed worldview when these charlatans ask you to run away from people who think differently from you.
If you are sure that your belief can stand up to scrutiny, argue along all day. Civil debate and learning from them is what moves societies forward.
By all means argue using facts. Study and argue to show thyself approved.
There are 2 ways theists(especially christians) wish to interface with atheists. Either ignore them(like this dude advocates) or kill 'em(like their Christian ancestors did). They would have gladly done the later if not for laws. I know how many times my school whatsapp group guys have reminded me about extrajudicial killings meted out to non-christians in the ancient days. They have this Fatwa Envy brewing in them. They wish they can be as free as their Northern comrades ( the Muslims slaughtering christians) in dealing with me
sukkot: And so the fourth river out of the garden of Eden aka the Euphrates recently dried up in turkey and naturally the spiritual progression after that is an earth shaking earthquake which happened yesterday in turkey and Syria and so now the way is prepared and opened for the kings and armies of the east to mount up and go on a crusade and rampage. Ladies and gents brace yourself because the ride is about to get very rocky and in the midst of this turmoil will the messiah be watered from the ground and will emerge from amongst us . Everybody get your life together the apocalypse is here. We are seeing the beginnings of it in Nigeria with the money scarcity and fuel scarcity as our paradigm unravels and unfolds very easily . Same thing is happening all over the world as we speak in different formats. Get ready. Hold on tight onto your seats because the messiah will be with us very soon, as in 2023 soon. Next natural progression after this is a volcanic eruption at Yellowstone volcano in America and that’s when you know Babylon is about to come down. If you have family In America get them back home to Nigeria ASAP if you want to see them ever again
CupOfT: Gen 1:26 is where you should have started then you proceed to chapter 2 - the fall of man. It's so incorrect and out of context when you choose to read yur bible that way. If everything as happened as you wanted, to what use will the Bible be? All of these he has done after the fall of man that we may come to appreciate and choose light over darkness. Don't forget that God created and gave us the choice to pick which tent we want but He has continued to help us figure out the best between both options.
How does this post attack his notion about yahweh? He said Yahweh is a bloodthirsty and violent god, and your response is the Bible wasnt written in a way he should like. Like wtf, bro
CupOfT: I have often wondered about the many historical events that took place in the Bible, how valid are they, if they truly happened while are you not a believer then?
Since the internet is our best effort of researching, I decided to see if anybody has wondered about this things as I am now. Lo and behold, it turned out that numerous researchers have rummaged through this. It happened! Evidence of chariots wheels and bones of horses and humans have been discovered in the red Sea, even though the histories of such happenings have been completely obliterated from history books of the Egyptians, which is understandable.
God is alive and all the miracles talked about in the Bible is true. There is absolutely no reason while you should say you are an atheist or any other fanciful name you choose to tag 'unbelieve'. The Bible is true, God is true, so is the workings to give you a whole new life.
Let me get this. So because you found horse bones in the Red Sea, that means your fairy tale was true? Lol. Anyway, those discoveries were lies to fool gullible folks like you. They were hoaxes and they never happened.
Excerpt
However, if one is looking for news of an important scientific or historical discovery, World News Daily Report is not the place to look. WNDR is fake news site whose disclaimer notes that the site's articles are satirical in nature: World News Daily Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within worldnewsdailyreport.com are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental, except for all references to politicians and/or celebrities, in which case they are based on real people, but still based almost entirely in fiction. Despite WNDR's framing of the alleged "discovery" as recent and newly announced, reports of divers finding chariot wheels and the like under the Red Sea are a hoax that has been promulgated for many years now.
My problem with theists like OP is that even though they are educated, religion wipes off any form of reasoning they possess and fills it all sorts of crap
jmichael259: Which of the terms exactly did you need google to help you spell, retrograde or supernatural?
So, normal daily old people re-enacting their past memories is supernatural? Well, Since you claim it to be so, then why isn't it the evidence of supernatural that you're so obsessed with?
You aren't just juvenile deliquent but ravishingly senile.
In this case, cretard, the woman is declared demented. Not all old people are demented. Do you now see the point, or you wanna go back to kindergarten
Nauttyprof: It's because folks like yourself feel everything is about Pastor and money
Look around you. Look at the posts on Nairaland. You'll see most of them are related to pastors, tithing, first fruits etc. Do you blame me for thinking the way I do?
daytimer: Nothing happens on earth without God knowing it.Amos 3 says no evil can come unless God does it.My Spirit shall not always strive with men said God in Genesis 6. Civic man made or not is allowed by God as judgment to the people.We now dress anyway we want,we do whatever we want regardless if what God's Word says.Listen to thirty minutes of COVID IS THE BEGINNING OF THE UPROOTING OF EVIL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPCcuQeMNg
Dtruthspeaker: Obviously your madself is now speaking it's usual madness in spite of what the records clearly show.
Lol. He is now talking incoherently. After I have exposed his lies. Which record are you talking about? Are you not seeing the posts where you clearly said Devil wrote a Bible?
Dtruthspeaker: So when you are married you are a slave to your wife? Or when you render service eg mechanic, you are a slave to your customers? Or when you are employed, you are a slave to your employe?
See, people would have thought you knew the meaning of slavery.
Did you actually check the meaning of 'bondsman' before spewing this rubbish
jmichael259: Imagine ur confused life. Just obsessed with hating on supernatural? This person has not said the woman's act is supernatural. Nobody said so, not the post itself.
You're just kid read new fancy textbook words echolalia and became online medic police forcing diagnosis on people you will never meet.
Hate on Supernatural? When you haven't even proven that the supernatural exists. Just in case your cretarded mind doesn't understand, he is trying to make a case for the supernatural which in this case is your yhwh making the woman to sing his praise. I wonder how they allowed teenagers access to Internet
kingxsamz: Perhaps the younger generation would be less gullible.
The younger generation is less gullible alright, probably because of Internet and availability of knowledge. The problem is the ones that are conned remain stupid. Just go through some posts on Nairaland, and you'll marvel at the severe mental cretardation on display
kingxsamz: Lmao, legalized scam. Christianity is a sham. These people will tell you that their Jesus is coming back anytime soon but yet they keep acquiring wealth and building mansions which they know they won't take to their heaaven. Almost as if they don't believe in what they preach. "Money is the root of all evil" yet pastor wants all of it. Lmao. Una eyes go open one day.
Nah. Wont work. Those folks are in too deep into the sham. The more you warn them its a scam, the more they rebuff you
gohf: the concept has to do with God who created it and created all things, and isn't religion the pursuit of God or godly values.
Now men are lies, it shouldn't surprise you that they would use God and religion and lie, so is it about society or about those who make up the society. We deceitful humans especially those who fail to admit who they are and live a lie that they are without sin and have done no wrong, even though we were all born with this nature
gohf: Luke 6:35 But love you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.
Is it the same Bible that said this…
Proverbs 15:29 NIV The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous
John 9:31 NIV We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will
elated177: Where are your own inventions? What have you thought up with your atheistic mind?
Jae, you are an irredeemable nincompoop. Jae, you are an unadulterated fool.
Bro, I have thought up many stuff that's helping me in my practice. For example, I had my own regimen for Covid management, have my own methods of blood sample collection for neonates, have my methods for management of cerebral hemorrhage cases. All with good outcomes. All from my mental prowess. And I help both christians, Muslims etc. I don't mind the insults. Its all good. But the point here is your post is ill thought out and doesn't hold water. Thank you
