KanwuliaJara: Politics also instigates violence as much as religions, so violence should not be limited to only one cause. . They are many things that can also spark up violence so we should not assert a correlation exclusively between a particular cause and the subject of the causality ....

Ok seriously nobody really hates Jesus (Historical if there is any) People just don't relate to the disturbing ideas and hypocrisy perpetrated by people who think they are adhering to his ideologies but really they are only buying the ideas of a man called Paul. Jesus evidently enough reflects the ideas of older philosophies, his stance on human interactions has been a trade mark of Buddha long before there ever was a historical Jesus (the one Christianity is built on.) and also exhibits ideologies that reflects that of the Jewish Essene sect. I for one respect and admire the philosophies of people like Buddha, Jesus, Socrates, Ghandi, Confucius, Carl sagan, Dalai lama and myself  ..Talk about a much hated Religious figure then you talk about Muhammed!! I mean nobody really likes that guy except muslims.. 14 Likes 6 Shares |

KanwuliaJara: You are not dead yet, so shows the religious people around you haven't killed you yet.. Do atheists kill?Yes an atheist can kill.. Nobody is exempted from such actions . . atheism is not synonymous to morality. Killing and not killing is an individual act in relation to persons unless of course that person is under the charge or command of either a religion or authority then it can be said religion committed the murder. And please comparing atheism with religions is wrong because atheism is simply the position of unbelief in Gods and so is not a religion.. Someone not playing football is not another form of sports. Has no doctrine or philosophy. . . So nobody can really claim to kill for just unbelief. Religions can make people murder others on their behalf, this is true though... The ones that claim to be MUSLIMS only knows how to use MACHETES OR SUICIDE BOMBS. I have muslim friends, people often do these things in a naive impression of pleasing God. It is the result of indoctrination, brainwash and Mass control... But do not stereotype every muslim. .not all is like that... though i agree in the world today muslims always are more likely to be prone to violence than other religions. The ones that claim to be CHRISTIANS can kill in a million ways.There have been a time when Christianity was exactly like Radical islam, it is called the dark ages.. Christians evolved though but Muslims still doesn't get the memo that this is the JET age... The most barbaric of all are from the so-called followers of CHRIST. Ok this is just junk. . . Some word concoction of bla bla bla … mumbo jumbo .. Nailed....Gaddaffi... Bomb. . . .Bla bla bla... it doesn't make sense... I still do not understand this thread one bit. . . maybe you should make yourself clearer because i just don't get the idea of this thread or its point. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

[b]@Teempakguy it only takes a little reason to murder religion. . . - What is a perfect being doing with worship -A being that powerful and perfect has no need of worship - A being that needs worship and reverence is imperfect and insecure - A being who creates things just to always worship it everyday has chronic narcissism and narcissism is a character flaw that stems from insecurity -A being that powerful should be above the dictates of disturbing emotions like anger, jealousy, rage, wrathful, hatred. This emotions stem from our insecurity in self and such a powerful being who operates within the confines of these emotions is either imperfect or does not exist. - A being who could divide the read sea in the bible, divide the moon in the Quran but can't even say "HI" when man got video camera.. - A being that powerful is concerned whether you masturbate or not, hates pork and loves smell of burning animals... like WTF - A being that is confined only to the pages of some shabby book that thinks the Sun stood still.. (Not knowing the earth goes round the sun rather) - A being that takes on the character of the people it is found in. . Islamic God behaves more like Arab men in it misogyny and violence tendency. Judaic yahweh is running after the smell of burning flesh, loves the jews more than every other person. Christian yahweh got his son killed, loves christians more than others and will smoke others in fire to prove christians right..lmao. - for the simple fact that these Gods are exactly what people say they are shows they are constructs of the mind of these people. - A creator of the universe didn't know the stars were too far and too big to fall down into a tiny spec of dust called earth. . - Creator of the universe thinks the moon is a light. - Creator of vast universe is threatening people with fire to coerce them into submission.. - A creator of the universe, powerful and perfect still has an enemy and plays bet of humans with the enemy.. One can literally go on forever the implausible ideas of religions on their concept of God. The idea of a God was murdered by religions and as such has shown this unfounded postulations a product of minds lost in the insecurity of their own ignorance.... [/b] 13 Likes 6 Shares |

Richirich713:To be honest here you are the one who thinks nothing created everything now let me explain. An atheist recognize things as they are, they recognize the action of gravity on matter makes stars and planets not some humanoid shouting to himself. Atheist recognize and agree that things are as a result of interactions between elements... But you.. - first you believe God just came out of nothing ... - Created everything by speaking (Nothing) -Then everything popped out (Out of nothing.. ) Now remind me again between you and i who think nothing created everything? You all just don't recognize how this principle of causality doesn't work for your arguments... There is no faith.. an atheist simply lack it when such dishonesty is needed to believe an abstract unproven vague concept. None of you is talking about faith to know a sun is there, if something needs to be believed by Faith then there is no reason to believe it at all.. 2 Likes 1 Share |

[b]Just popped into Nairaland and was met with this thread https://www.nairaland.com/2657880/wish-there-no-god as one would always expect it was a victims card at play, misconception about atheist, painting a wrong image of atheist so as to lay out some unfounded assertion. I wanted to reply but two things stopped me. 1st the font size of the Op. . Huge red bold letters only makes you look silly and masks the point you are trying to make... I wonder if you think BOLDED letters makes people read your posts, well most would ignore it because of it so i advice you better stop the childish act of enlarging your texts. 2nd menesheh already made the thread look ridiculous with the continuous quote of the Op. That's not entirely a rebuttal... its more like just trolling. I feel the need to correct the Op's wrong assertions and misrepresentations of atheists in other to instigate religious correctness. . . Straw man is a huge fallacy of ambiguity please it would be better you stop it..[/b] osile2012: This is a very wrong assertion, Atheists here who take the time to argue with you or other religious persons based on the lay outs of your various religions are not trying to persuade people there is no God. Rather they engage you in an argument based on the tenets of your beliefs and such instigate independent reason and thinking in the doctrinal and dogmatic lay out of these religions. either because of some events that took place in their life that got them frustrated or the fact that they don't like the idea of being accountable,Second false and i must be blunt a blatantly idiotic assertion. Atheists do not turn atheists because they have problems last i checked atheists are not the ones running around crusade grounds. I saw Dalaman make rubbish of this assertion and you couldn't even defend it. . Our lives are perfectly ok thank you. People turn atheists because they are bold enough not to live in wishful blind hopes or retarding beliefs that murders reason and human curiosity. People turn atheistic when they realize that the Gods and religions abound have no evidence or substantiation to show that it is anymore than just wishful thinking.. i laugh. Honestly, i sometimes wished there was no GOD and that there was no consequences for our actions.[b] This has murdered everything. you have shown that your belief in a God is tied to your conformity to the moral dictates of an authority. You wish there was no God who is angry and wrathful ever ready to burn you in punishment, well you have just shown that without this idea of a grudge bearing and wrathful God as laid out by religions you would an out of control human wreaking havoc where ever you go. I am an atheist i make my own moral standards independent of some primitive constructs and i live by the dictates of my own reason. I neither kill or take whats not mine and i do these things even though i don't share in your absurd idea of a torture prone God. I do them because i recognize my responsibility as a human living in a society of other humans and a world filled with life forms and recognize that a good way to live is to make the world better than you met it and leave with others as parts of the same human society Obviously i totally 100% in agreement that you should never leave your belief in a God because without it someone like you who obviously has shown us here to lack independent moral basis might be a serial killer... [/b] That once your dead it file is closed. That would have been fun to some extent, but then its the opposite. I know how frustrated it feels to be accountable, and not be in control of every circumstance around you. Its actually more difficult trying to convince yourself there is no GOD when the evidences stare you in the face daily.[b] I know of nothing to suggest this idea of a punishment scheme tied around the rope of afterlife is nothing more than mere wishful lay out of an authority to ensure conformity to the moral dictates of the society. I am sure the dogs out there are not deluding themselves in the fantasy of getting another life after they are dead. You had no life before this biological machine called body whatever made you think you will still have one when this biological component fails really got you swimming in abject delusion. Since the emergence of human society they have been a need for ethics of interactions and societal goodness. two methods were devised. Politics : Law of the state .. Religion: Alleged law of a deity which is a form of politics wrapped in the guise of supernatural claims to ensure submission and conformity. people would believe anything that is roped around their ignorance. This method has proven not be working well because we see Christian crusaders who murder heretics thinking they will be getting a reward later or muslim jihadists murdering people thinking they are getting a bountiful reward. The essence of good human behaviour stems from compassion and empathy towards others and never should be based on the concept of reward and punishment, God or religion.. [/b] I see how restless the so call atheists are on nairaland, trying to hijack every christian thread they see just to make them feel good. The seem to lack peace and uncertain about their believe, and constantly attack christian threads to convince themselves of their own believe. Are you not at peace with yourself knowing there is no GOD and no consequences for your actions? Why do you have to attack and hijack threads to prove your point? Here you employ the victims card. Atheists argue over your religious beliefs which is more or less affecting the societal fabrics around everyone and you call that restlessness? This show of victims card play only reveals insecurity in your own beliefs because you make obvious you don't want your religion challenged, refuted, debunked and scrutinized and who is best to this if not one who don't share the same belief? Atheists attack muslims too, ridicule and rubbish their religion and God concept yet they don't always shout over it. . . I am sure your all saying in your mind how can you prove there is GOD and Judgement ? Actually NO . . . What atheists think is something like "Why can't people just look beyond their delusion and use their brain for once" The answer is simple. When you look at the end of every post or at the top of the page you are responding from, you will see a "DATE" there. Thats the evidence that there is GOD and we will answer for our actions whether we believe or not. "TIME" is the only evidence, and that is enough for any wise person. Just imagine this nonsense.. Why not simply say I HAVE NO EVIDENCE than ridiculing and making nonsense of your own post with this unfounded nonsense. One thing all humans use in life is "TIME", and whether you believe there is GOD or not, at-least you believe and use time.You celebrate your birthday with time, you tell your age with time, you go to work with time and close with time. Oh seriously you obviously know nothing about time. . You are here laying out human perception of duration measurement and sheepishly use such to more like destroy your own posts. Time actually is the evidence of duration according to human measurement and perception. . . In quantum physics time is a quantum dimension interwoven with the the fabrics of space. Just wonder how someone wrote this... WHY TIME? Lmao. . . You were not around infinitely backward as a conscious being how then do you expect to infinitely hang around. Time (in this case duration) reveals the change in the interactions of resulting actions. . .Time was set by nobody humans perceived time by observation of actions in relation to duration. Mathematically what you assert to be infinite comes under the point of finite in one single valuable. . 0.9999999999.... till infinity still is equal to 1. . . Teempakguy should enjoy this.. So your wishful delusion of trying to infuse human perception of duration to your religious beliefs is a cheap deception and as such rubbishes everything you asserted here. /i] There are 2 important aspects of time "START TIME" and "END TIME" . Both start time and end time are important, but what we are rewarded for is what happens in-between them.[i] It's not so difficult understanding why we make these selfish stories for ourselves having known that out of every creature on earth we are probably the only that have knowledge of the inevitable end of our beings and as such this burden of knowledge of an inevitable end weighs on a feeble mind. Banking on this wishful hope to live again religions have devised many means to coerce the masses into conformity to it's tenets and that is where we get the reincarnation and afterlife ideas. You are correct about one thing the only important aspect of our being is now, so we should make it count because it doesn't last forever and learn to live in this one and not formulate fantasies of another... An exam has a "start time" and "end Time" but whether you pass and promoted or demoted depends on what you did between the start time and end time. An exam analogy, how quaint... Exams are given when someone has been taught. . You did not ask to come into existence so how come you were dragged into an exam you had no foreknowledge of? This is always the funny part... A football match has a "start time" and "end time" but the winner is chosen by what they did between the times.Seriously you are still going over this start time and end time .Thats repetition of the same nonsense unnecessarily making the already boring post more boring.. Now whoever sets the start time and end time of a program or activity determines the result . In relation to the human analogy of time perception, participation is by willful acceptance.. If a school sets the start time and end time of an exam, they determine the result, based on the students performance in between the times. Again a school and employer banks on willful participation . . . We as humans, whether we choose to believe in GOD or not, we have our "start time" and "end time" . We did not set the times, and we definitely will have to be rewarded by the one who set these times. Someone will say, what if i end my life, i have decided my end time . Well when a school set a start time and end time for an exam, and you decide not to write anything and submit your paper and leave the hall. The school will still determine what happens to you based on how u performed between their start time and the end time. Using this recycling of the same nonsense over and over again. . it is time to boomerang it.. God also must have another God who is in charge of it's own activities? Our start time and end time only affirms the unique interactions of biological neuroperception and anatomical activities and not any kind of imaginary authority you assume up without substantiation. A school is surely evidential but you keep reconciling it with an unproven, non-evidential abstract concepts laid out by primitive men in dictating the lay out of societal authority. So whether you choose the believe in GOD and try to live right or you choose not to believe in GOD and live anyhow, your clock is ticking, your now in between your start and end time. And there goes the threat to ensure coercing and submission. . . What exactly is a being powerful as a God doing with belief. why have you all decided to show off your God concepts as a childish, ego maniac that needs humans to believe it blindly without evidence. What you do in between will be rewarded by the one who set the time. Most of us stay glued to the TV screen when our favorite football teams are playing. The start time whistle goes off, and when the end time whistle blows, some people celebrate and hug themselves, while other cry. Both those who celebrate and cry, celebrate the reward of what happened in between the start and end. Oh please not this again...**Face palm** Some will say, what if there is a draw at the end of the start and end time? Well unfortunately, this game called life is a final and can never end in draw. In finals, they play penalties until there is a winner and loser .[b] Footballers went into footballing willfully and also are obviously existential before going into a field to play according to the set out time. You knew nothing before you came to earth, according you: God dragged you into a test without you asking for it, you are being tested unnecessarily for what exactly? If God needed to create a being in a perfect good place why not just create that being there and not just create an unknowing being in an imperfect random scenario and tag it test. Religions has never ceased to amuse me with the way it ridicules and refutes its own God concept by itself... If there really was a God, this barbaric, sadistic, egocentric, narcissistic, tyrannic, and all round childishness you and your religions heap on it here would be a far greater insult than the people who don't believe such preposterous concepts So anytime you feel proud and try to convince yourself that there is no GOD and o consequences for your actions? Look at you watch and see that time is still going on .[i] You keep roping on actions, Belief in a God has nothing to do with the moral tendency of a human. Belief in a God is not synonymous to morality neither is such vague mass control scheme a basis of human fundamental morality. You have only shown us here you lack independent moral basis and is stuck in the Belief of a God out of fear. Affirms the saying : Basis of religion is not faith but fear... Those who claim there is no GOD are like employees who removed the battery from they clock with hope that they have stopped time. They dont go to work and give their employer an excuse that, their times stopped so they did not see the need to show up. On a more correct statement : Those who disbelieve your claims of a God without evidence are honest enough to distance themselves from the psychological control of an imaginative concept asserted without evidence and needs to be blindly believe by fear and faith.. Even when your clock stops ticking, time is still going on. So even when you dont believe in GOD, you will still answer before him at the end of time. Affirms time is a perception of duration. . . You forgot to add whether God believes in another God or not it would still answer to it at the end of time.. So to the atheist, that have removed the battery of their clock and claim there is nothing like time anymore, you will still realize at your stop time that time was running all the while.[b][i] This is an abject display of nonsense. . . Just it again and see.. An atheists do not pretend there is no God rather they are honest with themselves not to pretend there is #HappySunday.[b] Happy sunday to you too.. Now it is clear that you have revealed the very fabrics of your belief in a deity is that you fear a wrathful, vengeful, angry, sadistic God who dragged you into a test and will burn you if you fail it even though you never signed up to be dragged into it. Like i have on my signature, those few words totally makes nonsense of this grand delusion of wishful thinking and unwarranted fear of a deity.. You do not need religion or belief in an angry God to be moral, if you cannot distinguish between right from wrong in relation to your interaction with others then its obvious you lack empathy and not religion. This you have shown to lack in the thread you created about how people should thank their Gods after seeing the tragedies that befall others . https://www.nairaland.com/2657619/why-u-should-thank-god If there is a perfect God who wants you to be in a perfect world and has the ability to create such world, why are you not there already. The willingness is there and the ability how come are you not in that perfect world. There wouldn't be any need of such a bizarre cruel unfounded test of which results by the definition of omniscience he already knows. . . . This murders the religious concept of such punny God concepts. . . From the title of this thread " I really wish there is such an entity powerful enough to create a universe. The characteristics you heap on this God would be a far greater insult to it than unbelief. Because a powerful being exhibiting wrathfulness, torture hungry, egoism, narcissism, barbarism, childishness, tyranny and grudge bearing with creatures as tiny as humans shows you are worshipping nothing but your own fears [/b] 17 Likes 8 Shares |

Misogynist2014:[b] It is evidently enough that we live in a planet of random events, web reactions which is that every action has a resulting reaction. E.g: A wet floor can result to tripping over it and result to hospital result to bills and so on and so forth. Isn't it better to agree to the simple fact that Good things happen to good and bad people alike as well as bad things happen to good and bad people alike. Isn't it right to relate to the suffering of others, show compassion towards them and understand that what happen to them has no exception. Why then should such nonsensical selfishness as Thanking a deity because you were not involved in the tragedy of others. Thanking a deity for the sufferings of others because you are not one of them. Such sick mindset erodes basic human compassion, murders pity and diminish the ability to relate to the sufferings of others in contrast to ourselves. We are all humans living together, let us not prize ourselves more deserving than others or rejoice in the tragedies of others.

raayah:[b] Christians got to be the most self centered, selfish people i have ever come across. they give their God thanks for other people's tragedy because it didn't befall them. Therefore they are more deserving of less tragedies than the people these tragedies befall. You saw someone who just had a terrible accident and you are thanking God that you weren't the one. For what exactly? Because the person who had the accident deserves it more than you? Or maybe they are not worth saving by God? Thanking God for giving them food but not the children dying in IDP camps of hunger and malnutrition. By thanking God for your food or for your well being shows you think God determines who eats and who don't . . . therefore they should always remember to thank God for not giving food to others. A very selfish and disturbing mindset that erodes compassion in people in the face of the tragedies of others. One told me the other time that he got convinced that there is a God when armed robbers shot at him and his friend but his friend got killed instead therefore God saved him. Can you imagine such absurd idiocy. When people bank on the tragedies of others to give thanks to their deities for their well being reveals beings devoid of compassion. This is what happen when people give credit for world events to abstract concepts that lives inside their minds. [/b] 13 Likes 8 Shares |

They encourage incuriosity, discourage questions and applaud blind faith and belief and these are dangerous to the intellectual growth of our species. Have you ever heard someone say "Knowledge is power?" That is true, Knowledge is power and take this power from the masses and you will have the power to control them, give it to the masses and you loose your control. Religions use this means to bolt adherents in sheepish ignorance and so conforms to their dictates. That is why religions are mostly against absolute knowledge or independent approximations or curiosity because if you take the knowledge back from the authority they loose their hold on you.. bt I must so scared of hell as a child,so scared I shed tears wen teachers tel me if I kip askn questions lyk DAT God'll throw me in hell and I Neva ask dose questions again out of fear and it rili affected me I lit matches to burn masf literally so as to knw aw hel wil feel lyk thus making me kip wateva tot I av in me and today I find it hard expresn masf(even in ma native tongue).....This has been one of the major disturbing aspects of religions. Threat of violence and torture to ensure submission and conformity. . . This disturbing cankerwormous idea has eaten deep into our society and has instilled unwarranted fear in our young one. Has helped kill the intellectual curiosity of the young ones and as such is a societal vice that should be refuted. One of the most disturbing ideas of such religions is that it presents a wrathful, vengeful angry, judgemental, egoistic, narcissistic, grudge bearing, childish, sadistic and barbaric God that would burn billions because they went against it's command or wounded his ego or did not believe in it (Either cus of lack of evidence or believes in a different concept) It makes people to be okay with such ideas that people tend to find this type of egoistic sadism and chronic barbarism as a good trait to possess.. love ur posts/topics and trust me av always want to say sumtn bt lyk I sed I find it hard expresn masf...adios broThank you bro. .

bytemeister: Please i am sorry once again for giving you the impression that i left your post unanswered, that wasn't my intent. The truth is you don't really need to cram the bible verses to buttress your point to him, as a religionist it is a normal thing for someone to discard every other source of knowledge deduction in order to uphold their religious dogmas. Some even go as far as rejecting scientific postulations. Obviously you had a running with a fanatic who from your post don't even know the meaning of a theistic God concept. My advice is that for the fact that you are the quiet type, just don't engage people out there. Belief deals with emotion and so people tend to get emotional unsettled when you reject or refute their beliefs. This emotional tilt makes them potential harm to you who reject or ridicule their beliefs. . So brother i think you should just let them pass. 2 Likes 1 Share |

starlingslimnet:Be careful what you say on this thread so as not to contradict and castigate yourself here. Just look up above. . .You called his post crap but didn't present any reasonable refutation. Yes i don't particularly take the Jewish tales seriously just like i don't take greek tales seriously too. But it doesn't mean i can't school you on Christian theology if the need be. . . Nobody need believe it in order to discuss it. So you want a little go on it? 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Am still asking why you prize yourself an authority in establishing doctrines that are correct and others are wrong? Might as well give you a little lesson on theology because i have always noticed just how naive you are about the christian religion in general 1 Like 1 Share |
