Too much of anything, be it credulity or skepticism, is a bad thing. Too much skepticism becomes denialism and paranoia. The memes are exactly what memes almost always are, a simplification, and in this case, an oversimplification, of a more complex question.

ATHEISM IS NOT ONLY FOOLISHNESS BUT MADNESS...
They are seeing the creations and works of God and yet saying there is no God...They are seeing an aeroplane and a bird flying and they say there is no God... They know that man made the aeroplane because aeroplanes cannot come from mindless chance or evolution. And yet they say that mindless chance made the bird that is flying... THEY ARE SEEING THE CREATIONS AND WORKS OF GOD AND YET DENY HIS EXISTENCE... The earth is rotating around it's axis without any input from man. And this has been on for thousands of years and yet somebody is saying there is no God... Can a car or aeroplane run around the world for 365 days even if on autopilot without sustenance and control from some intelligent source
Which God? The one that lied that he created the world in 7 days? The one that claimed that light came before the sun?

But same God who was in the midst of the fire, with 3 Hebrew Children and they felt the fire not.

The same God who caused Light and Darkness in one city.

Why bother or worry about what you say does not exist:
Why do you waste your effort to disprove the existence of the Christian God?

I am what I am, says Yahweh, you do not validate him; neither do your knowledge or science invalidates or diminish him!!!

Live your life and let those who belief in him live theirs, at the end we will see who was right!!!

Christian you are admonished about people like this, do not waste your time in argument or vain talking.

Too much to do, pray for their souls like Saul to have their encounter with Yeshua.
Considering the bold, you should have ignored my comment and kept on scrolling.

I refuse to believe in a non-existing God that has no physical presence but relies on ignorant men like yourself to tell me about life after death.

IT'S POSSIBLE THIS JUDGE WAS BRIBED. I SEE NO REASON SHE SHOULD PAY FOR ANY GIFTS SHE RECEIVED WITHOUT FORCING OR STEALING FROM ANYONE.
It depends on how the gifts were given and received. If the man argued that he gave the gifts with her understanding that they were for marriage, then he has a case.

The law is tricky. I feel the ruling is fair.

What is your point if they are Christians or not? What is the significance of that? Or is it another anti religious fact that has no bearing with anything?

How many people are Christians worldwide? Did Christianity originate from Britain?
Ask yourself why the British dumped Christianity. You will have your answer

Other symbiotes' hosts were not sickly. They're only poor people who needed cash and signed an undertaking they didn't understand.

Also, while Riot chose from a lot of options later on, his first choice was random and the first human it came in contact with, yet it'd still a perfect match.
The matching of symbiote with human host was dependent on the plot.

The odds of the protagonist and his girlfriend being viable hosts is very slim.

And the bad guy too was a viable host. Lazy screenwriting just for the sake of the plot

Who populated USA at the time? Was it not British people who had already killed and colonized the native Americans?

Google it, I have read about this Nigerian colonizers. The igbos and others at first rejected them and we're prepared to fight until they saw the money they offered.
They started selling the poor people and soon it became the majority.

Story story. Keep telling lies about your kinsmen.

You forgot to mention some facts.

-How were slaves shackled in Nigeria when most tribes couldnt refine metals? (with the exception of bronze art)
-What about those who were forced to be slave hunters/traders?
-Why is it that many Nigerian languages hardly have a specific word for "slave" (instead the word for "servant" is used)

How is religion suddenly ignorance because it isn't enlightenment?

Listen to yourself. How did you get that from what you read? Well, you're responsible for what you understand even if it's imagined.

Religion and enlightenment are two different things. When atheists and other people who do not believe in God want to disparage Christians etc, they use educational standards on something that doesn't exist on that plane. They call it enlightenment. How is enlightenment religion?

Enlightenment serves the mind. Religion isn't there to soothe your knowledge on subjects. It is a subject on its own entirely separate from enlightenment and other synonyms for standard education that everybody, even religionists, possess.

So do not question why an "enlightened" individual believes in God. It is because education and belief are two different things that do not depend on each other. Something atheists, etc can never seem to understand.

Belief in God does not reduce our logical capacity or educational qualifications because the two are separate things. If science is a basis for enlightenment, we are all enlightened.

All the conspiracy theories on the origin of religion on this thread and how they are a tool on Africans is another ludicrous effort of atheists and whatever else people claim to be. Nobody is enslaved. It is all willing. Religion isn't the reason Africans are backward. It is because they are black and greedy. If religion is from whites, then Africans need more of it to get anywhere.

This thread is full of many pointless atheist/argumentative perspectives.
I can't even be bothered again.

The op of this thread is evidence to the mentally damaging power religion has. All I will say to you is to look at the religious statistics of the British people. The British are the ones who brought christianity to Nigeria. Note how many of them are not christians at all.

And who told you that history? Were Benin, Yoruba, Igbo tribes selling themselves for cowries before the Europeans came?

You can argue with yourself as much as you like
the fact remains that just like inspite of overwhelming evidence, justice wasnt served in the case of the Simpson case,
and some people, still to today deny the existence of the holocaust, just like you too are opaqued to overwhelming evidence(s).
How silly.

The OJ Simpson murder trial is very different from the holocaust.

OJ Simpson was later found guilty on wrongful death in civil court.

The court has a system and when a lawyer ignores that system, he loses the case.


The holocaust museum and facts are there for anyone to see. I hope you know that most holocaust deniers are muslims and racist christians?

JeromeBlack, the OJ Simpson and the holocaust are parallels
Just like inspite of overwhelming evidence, justice wasnt served in the case of the former,
and where some people, till today deny the existence of the holocaust
so you

Like seriously, give it a rest, admit you're a die-hard skeptic.
a criminal case is different from a civil case. A murder charge requires reasonable doubt. A divorce, on the other hand requires a different standard of evidence.

Gold and precious stones are not building materials. Only a fool would build a city of precious stones.

And if the city is as described, every inhabitant of that city would be blind from all the glitter and glare.


Surely, this city was not propounded in the scripture by a God but by a Jewish caveman who knew nothing about technology.

Enlightenment isn't religion.

Why is it that everybody against religion doesn't realize that enlightenment isn't religion? Why are you trying to measure a soul with a ruler when it isn't on the same plane? If enlightenment is education then everybody has it. To always go on about enlightened people believing in a God is getting old.

If people cannot believe in God then it's too bad their minds cannot accommodate such a thought, but can accommodate particles they have never and will never see. That is arrogant ignorance.
See how you contradicted your whole point.

So, by your own words, enlightenment isnt religion.

But wouldnt that mean that religion is ignorance?

@MuttleyLaff, every sensible person knew that OJ Simpson committed the murders. The problem was that the prosecution mishandled the case and didnt prove beyond reasonable doubt. OJ Simpson's case has nothing to do with atheism. Please, use your sense. The picture below is stupid.

- by JeromeBlack: 2:53pm

Fact, is a thing that is known or proved to be true
How can he say, there are 3 facts, when in actual fact they are 3 opinions and outright pretences


JeromeBlack, even if you, as a tree falls down with disbelief, it wouldn't affect the entire forest.
You've climbed and still are climbing the wrong mountain
Why throw spagetti at the wall, when you can just eat it
and not have a huge mess of a wall to later contend with.

Faith is the most valuable currency there is.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God,
for it behooves the one drawing near to God to believe that He exists
and that He becomes a rewarder to those earnestly seeking Him out.
so if God is to allow proof, more than, in the Manufacturer bible manual cataloguing His products, that God exists, then it robs people of faith.

Thomas Aquinas' posit, that, to one who has faith, no explanation is necessary.
To one without faith, no explanation is possible, describes you to a tee.
Bro, what the heck are you saying?

Did you not go to school? Have you never done case study or scenario analysis?


i gave a scenario and then analysed it with logic. I looked at the opinions made by the people in the case and also looked at the situation. Then, I pointed the facts out from there.

Swamp rice and Yam cannot grow together. You cannot have a football field and a crop field in the exact same spot. Therefore, either 2 out of 3 opinions are wrong or all 3 opinions are wrong.

Ihedinobi3:
Like I told you years ago, a thing does not become true because you insist that it is true. So, it is not necessarily true that I make illogical arguments because you say that I do.

How do you know that my God did not create the world or that the other claims in other religions or philosophies are just as credible as mine? Were you there when everything began?

Your claims about the Bible are noted and discarded.

Not even in the least. Your counter is like saying that because there are dwarfs, it is wrong to say that God created human beings. Of course, there are mentally disabled people but they are clearly the exception, not the rule. Human conscience is a normal part of being human. The lack of it is a deformity rather than any kind of argument.
Bro, imagine that both of us were walking with our wives in a foreign country and arrived in front of a high fence. We cant see what is at the other side of the fence. Your wife claims that there is a field of yam behind the fence. My wife claims that there is a field of swamp rice behind the fence. You then claim that there is a football field behind the fence. There will only be 3 facts from this scenario

1. Only 1 claim from the 3 claims about the fence COULD be correct. For 1 to be correct, the others must be false
2. All claims could still be false
3. Without proof, I have every right to dismiss the others' 3 claims because I know that they havent been behind the fence
4. They could each claim that they have a book about the fence but that is not enough, the books could be outdated, unreliable or full of contradiction.
===================================================


This story is a parable designed to point out the fallacious method of reasoning you make use of when you argue for God/creationism. You have never seen God and neither were you present during the creation. I have every right to dismiss your claims when you have no proof and you are not an eye witness. There are many religions that claim that their God created everything. For their religion to be correct, yours has to be false.


The only thing you have as proof is an unreliable, outdated and contradictory book called the bible. The same bible that fraudulent pastors use to milk gullible followers for private jets. The same bible that was used to justify the enslavement of our black race. The same bible that was used to justify burning innocent women/children accused of being witches. The same bible that has talking snakes, ghosts and zombies.


Oga, go and sit down.

Ihedinobi3:
Atheism is obviously baseless. Whether the OP is proven or not, it is a fact.

I will add that atheism is a denial of the existence of God. God offers only two types of evidence to all human beings who attain accountability and mental capacity:

1. Creation (which displays His unfathomable power and wisdom)

2. Human conscience (which instructs us all of what sort of God He is).

If these proofs can be denied and ignored - and the Bible clearly says that they can - it is a waste of time to attempt to offer any other proofs especially when it is not one that God offers.
You havent changed from your illogical arguments.

How do you know that your God created the world? There are many religions that claim that their God created the world. Were you there during creation? I hope you know that the bible has one of the least sensible and least explained creation story?


There are people who naturally lack a conscience. We call them psychopaths. Your argument proving God through conscience makes no sense considering this fact.
