Lol, do you know where i reside? That is not feasible. I only suggested that because I believe it would be more effective. I really wish I could but there are numerous constraints.

But like I said, with time you will see more reason(s) to believe in God.

Aaawww bro i really wished we could do live discussion, we could document and put it up on youtube then post it on nairaland.

Reasons to believe?……… why believe when you can know…… for something as critical as God(s) to rely on such boat of uncertainty as belief betrays it's vagueness and lack of empirical substantiation.

Let us do away with the idea of Belief lets rather try to Know and derive certainty.

The number of threads about atheism nowadays eh is becoming alarming...

If nobody talks about you then you are nobody... the constant mention of atheists/atheism shows the growing effects of atheism on this board, some are bothered and threatened by it so wage war against it while others are just curious.

Even my name has become a constant topic of discussion among theists these days, i get up to 20 - 30 mentions when ever i log in, half of them are unnecessary mentions from people using my name as their topic of discussion.

Another thread about atheists ... keeps growing!!!

This is beautiful

Dejideji1:
You see that johnydon22 and cloudgoddess ehn their case is special they need a personal divine encounter.

Meeting them one on one will be more effective. But I believe God will eventually arrest them when the time is due.

Then meet me, i live in Enugu, Nigeria. . . I am sure you will do a great Job discussing with me.. lets do it bro.

Good points

HardMirror:
I have too much evidence that makes me laugh at those who say it is foolish to be an atheist. I can never be religious ever again. I have seen it all

Absolutism, Hhmmm not the best path always. There is more to religion than Abrahamism my good friend, you've only seen a fraction of Abrahamism not religion.

Another thread with "atheist" hehehe we are going places these days... Atheist and Atheism just became the most frequent words used in topics on this board..

I'm loving this..

Time to resurrect this thread.

@ HardMirror, cloudgodess, hopefullandlord I'm inviting you to come and see powerful arguments for the existence of God. Just go to the first post and respond to what you see there. Even johnydon22 ran away from my response to him here

Lmao... My first response already made nonsense of your three arguments, obliging you in a childish back and forth is a total waste of my time when i already floored your post.

So you may bask in your self induced euphoria of Johnydon22 ran away to make yourself feel good, it's a free world so we are totally allowed to fantasize even about feats we cannot achieve.

Nothing more childish than delusive self glorification over feats one can't even stand up to, that's the sort of childishness you'd want me to oblige you here; Naaah i'm well above that.

It will be a waste of intellectual morsels

The only wonder here is since you guys believe all these, what made it so hard to believe a Noah's ark? Because you don't see it i guess, self-conceit.

Because these things were not built by one 500years old man and his 3 sons but by hundreds of thousands of people up to millions still taking a duration of years and they still have their ruins scattered up to this day.

Stop equating irrational beliefs with history.

Where are those religions folks and their God(dog)?........Goddys please don't forget to deactivate your account o because your dog Don chop shit......kikikiki

Something similar happened to me when i still had the energy and zeal to engage every theist on nairaland, i was a young enthusiastic radical atheist then almost the opposite of this new more reserved philosophical atheist Johnydon22 i evolved into as i learned more.

Someone got so hit by my arguments that he prophesized against me that i will die before 1st April 2015. I promised him i will open a thread if i didn't die and i did.

https://www.nairaland.com/2230256/frankmishael1-april-already-god-didnt

I think he deactivated later. . . The believers mind is filled with so much zeal and trust induced by faith for their respective God that they mistakenly take the assumption of it being able to do everything to mean it can.

They mistake a gush of their own emotion at the face of a conflicting idea to mean the connection of God's prophecy not knowing that this God speaking through them is just their Mind wishing.

it always end the bad way for them after all said and done..

In the believers mind God can do everything, in reality he can't even say *HI"

HardMirror:
Why? What is the quantity of stones involved first? Then we take it from there

I do not know the number of stones involved.

dblackninja:
Yeah exactly.. because of that, I have at last concluded that time travel can never ever be possible. No matter how you put your head around it, it doesn't seem right and possible.

We are always travelling through time but only forward. . .Time is permitted to go forward, slow down or even appear to stop but never backwards.

mine.

dblackninja:
That is what has been wacking my head in some time travel movies.. I always felt something missing when an event is altered in the past and the future has to be re-written.
What do you think of the bolded Johnydon22 ?

It's the grand father's paradox - since killing your grand father means you never even existed, if you never existed then you never killed your grand father.

Therefore it is paradoxical therefore impossible.

MightySparrow:
Egyptians, Tunise, Algerians are not blacks but arabs. That they in African continent does not change their identity no more can Jamaican, or peoolefrom Bahamas claim to be Americans by default.
Black race does not understand the dynsmics of life and human development. We are not likely to emerge a leading civilization till thy kingdom come.

Ancient Egypt were blacks

tempem:
Yeah..
But the sun, moon and the stars stays.. You met those things and you'll leave them here.
Be honest, do you find the thought that one day "you'll die" and interesting one?

Nope everything dies, the sun, the moon the stars... they are all caught in the doom of universal catastrophe.

even the universe itself.

You outlive a mosquito that lives just 9 days, these are all varying timeline of a blinkful existence in a vast cosmos of colliding causalities and annihilation.

JackBizzle:
Reyginus, dblackninja, hahn, johnydon22, et al

I will be creating a thread to destroy Kingebukasblog's lies about religion and atheism........

It's going to be interesting.

That is if he had an argument in the first place except trolling... Complete waste of precious time to be arguing against severe trolling with no solid argument.

Yeah sure.. lmao

Bluezy13:
A careful scrutiny reveals that the girl was supposedly pushed/pulled into the pool and the [size=20]inhabitants[/size] of the pool were helping her out of the pool with just one "pervert" taking advantage of her boobs. She isn't supposed to get angry or cry; that will be making a bigger fun of herself. Besides, she doesn't look like the wayward type. She was just a victim of the circumstance.
The worse pervert is the person behind the camera who didn't discard the implicating image.



NOTE Don't attack me, but the image and don't tender narrow judgment.

Inhabitants?? Jesusssssssss #faints.. never knew people lived in pools here in Nigeria.

That's not a rosary... Rosary is the prayer beads for catholics

Leaving the conventional count of 7 let us continue.

The great wall of China

It's not just one wall built at the same time by the same dynasty, the great wall of china has seen many enhancements, rebuilding and maintenance, the first walls dating back to 7th century BC

The most popular was started in the Qin dynasty 220BC though little part of this first wall still remain to this day most of the remaining part of the wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.

it's span reaches about 21,196 km [13,171 miles]

Built for boarder control, city fortification, trade check into the chinese empire.

At its peak, the Ming Wall was guarded by more than one million men. It is
believed somewhere in the range of 2 to 3 million Chinese died as part of
the centuries-long project of building the boundary.

The Colossus of Rhodes

At the Island of Rhodes a statue of the Greek titan-sun god Helios stood at a height shoulder to should with that of the modern day stature of liberty.

built by Chares of Lindos, the 3rd century BC. The reason for the
construction of the Colossus of Rhodes was the victory of the Rhodians
over the Macedonian general Demetrius the Conqueror, which was
attributed to the god.

The magnificent statue, made of bronze, had a height of 33 meters [110 meters], and was visible from afar, had a wide gap between it's legs to allow ships passage.

However it collapsed around 226 BC due to an earthquake.

No attempt was made for its restoration (the oracle of Delphi warned against it) and so his body remained cluttered to the ground was for many years. The final end came in 654 AD when the Saracens pillaged Rhodes and sold the relics as metal.

a wonder relic of the ancient art mastery and engineering wizardry

Teempakguy:
It's true.

mathematically verified. as long as the width of the wall does not exceed 10 centimeters.

Proof please. i'd like to see the calculations.

rawgame:
Nigeria is in this state, there you are gallivanting with another typical mishmash of vague and piecemeal postings. OP wakeup you have nothing to gain from all this unscrupulous crusade.

An atheist have nothing to gain by encouraging people to do their own research and think for themselves probably break free from mental shackles and religious delusions.

But on the other hand Religions have everything to lose if people are willing to let go of wishful thinking, think for themselves, relegate books of primitive superstition only for literary entertainment and not base their lives on books written by men there are supposedly smarter than, break free from mental bonds and the wishful fantasy of immortality in a fairy kingdom after they are dead sold to them by religions.

Freedom from Religions and disturbing superstitions breaks a mind free from mental slavery - the african mind more so from psychological bond of a seeming ended colonialism.

That's why some people just has got to be outspoken against some certain lies being sold to the people as truth.

The light House of Alexandria

The Lighthouse at Alexandria was completed c. 280 BCE and stood 440 feet
(134 metres) high.

Built at the shores of the ancient beautiful city of Alexandria in Egypt to aid ships to navigate safely to the port at night.

It was the tallest man-made structure after the pyramids of Giza and its light could be seen 35 miles out to sea. Ancient writers agree that the lighthouse was so beautiful they could not find words adequate to describe it.

It was severely damaged in an earthquake in 956 CE and, by 1480 CE after
further damage by earthquakes, it was gone.

The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus

was built in 351 BCE as the tomb for the Persian Satrap Mauslos.It was 135 feet (41 metres) tall and ornamented with intricate sculpture.

Mauslos and his wife, Artemisia, chose Halicarnassus as their capital and devoted themselves to making it the most beautiful and impressive city in the world.

When Mauslos died in 353 BCE, Artemisia commissioned the tomb be built to match the splendor of the city the two of them had created.

She died two years after him and her ashes were entombed with him in the building.

It was destroyed by a series of earthquakes and lay in ruin until it was completely dismantled by the Knights of St. John of Malta in 1494 CE who used the stones in building their castle at Bodrum.
It is from the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus that the English word `mausoleum' is derived.

The temple of Artemis of Ephesus

If you lived in the Greek city of Ephesus in the 500 -400BCE's you'd best describe your city by the majesty and jaw dropping majesty of the temple of Artemis.

Artemis was the goddess of chastity, virginity, the hunt, the moon, and the
natural environment. She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin sister of
Apollo [The greek sun God]

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesos was completed in 550 BCE and was 425
feet (129 metres) high, 225 feet (69 metres) wide, and supported by 127 60
foot (18 metres) columns.

The temple is described by every ancient writer who mentions it with awe and reverence for its beauty. It was destroyed 21 July 356 by a man named Herostratus who set fire to the temple in order that his name be remembered.

Because of this, the Ephesians executed him and prohibited his name from being spoken or written down. The historian Theopompus, however, wishing to write a complete history of the temple, recorded his name for posterity.

The temple was re-built twice, on a more modest scale, and the first building was later destroyed by the Goths while the second was completely laid to waste by a Christian mob led by Saint John Chrysostom in 401 CE.

Statue of Zeus at Olympia

In order to show the full splendor and majesty of the father of the Gods the Greeks had to go extra miles to produce a world of art and architecture that is so majestic and beautiful that it's very reputation lingers to this day.

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was 40 feet (12 metres) high and presented the
great god seated on a throne with skin of ivory and robes of hammered gold .

The statue was created by the sculptor Phidias, who also worked on the
Parthenon of Athens. Visitors to the site were dwarfed by the immense statue
which was situated, and probably lighted, to produce great feelings of awe,
wonder, and humility.

After the rise of Christianity , the Temple at Olympia was increasingly neglected and fell into ruin and the Olympic Games , then considered `pagan rites' were banned by the church.

The statue was carried off to Constantinople where it was destroyed at some point in an earthquake in the 5th or 6th centuries CE.
