Christianity Etc › Re: Lol. Christians And Satanists Clash Over Satanic Statue by johnydon22(m): 8:20pm On Jul 26, 2015

Why this people just won't let their super omni powerful Gods (Yahweh and satan) fight their own wars for themselves.

Why do these powerful beings need humans to fight for their right for them?

I was once like you until I realized that god factor you talking about is really the unknown which I prolly think you searching for,don't worry in due time you'd understand and for you to understand don't search for knowledge because you have it already embedded in you just fight the power with the embedded knowledge In you,until then your destiny is written in the pages of the bible.

The god factors are just events of providence and chance she just choose to attribute to a God, you can as well attribute it to the flying pink unicorn and it becomes the unicorn factor and help root your conviction in the belief of the flying unicorn . . . Its quite funny !!!

Funny? Wait until end of September before your laughter.

Religion have always looked forward to the end of the world

Perhaps half aware that it's unsupported arguments are not entirely persuasive or meaningful.
And perhaps uneasy about it's greedy accumulation of temporal wealth and power.

Religion has never ceased to proclaim the apocalypse and day of judgement which in turn has never ceased to fail

If this be the case as you have made it compulsory everybody must believe in something then I have a couple of things I can list out.

I believe in the beauty and goodness in the world
I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mum and dad
I believe in friends
I believe in my girl friend

Wat works for atheists and how n by which means do they overcome their difficulties.

[b]I have been reading answers here and only aaronson seem to give an answer others were just attacking atheists or laying misconcepted notions about atheism and atheist instead of answering the question, let me give it from my own point of view.

We are in planet earth where people wish for magical way out of problems and circumstances thereby playing the victim's card, but a critical look at things will show you that nothing will solve your problems unless you put an effort into it yourself and if it works it is sorely your doing.

If you do not move that cup nothing will move it for you it will remain stationary until you move it, if you don't work on your circumstances nothing will do that for you.

I am an atheist and I don't wait around for anything or deity to solve my problems for me because as you know I don't believe or think they exist. any deity should be able to say "hi" first before solving problems.

So I am responsible for my circumstances and conditions . I take full responsibility for all my actions and I try to solve my problems myself, help from other people are also a huge plus because people are real [/b]

Ama80:
is it right to assume you are all successfull people since u run on os and 2 hands at work theory.how do handle enemies in d villages esp diabolical uncles?do u abhor sins or anything like sins?

Successful people are in every dimension of varying ideologies it has nothing to do with atheism or theism. speaking of myself I live a very exciting and spontaneous life free from any psychological depency on abstract concepts like deities to solve my problems. so successful or not successful is all my responsibility.

about the diabolical uncle stuff, most of us are not superstitious so we do not share that you idea of uncles or anyone affecting your life through any nonsensical diobolical means. we live our lives without such stupendous fears of something that isn't there.

about sins; we do not share the religious idea of sins because what religion consider sin most times have no moral weight on that action.
what I consider good or bad is how you treat people and the world around you so I try to live my life in a way that I don't hurt anyone.
and when I offend anybody I apologize to them instead of a deity

herald9:
This post baffles me a lot. I'm like really? Are you trying to justify indecent dressing ?
How could you put all the blame on the males when you know it's actions that triggers reactions.

So you expected a woman to dress scantily without the male folks raising eyebrows? That could only happen to men with dead testosterone and if we were configured that way, there wouldn't have been sexual attraction in the first place.

You can't possibly throw some grains of corn to a fowl and expect it to walk pass them.

For the first time your rationality shifted to the emotional side or maybe you weren't trying to be rational at all.

[b]One problem with humans is that;
We understand half and talk double.

If you actually read my post well i believe my point was clear enough and i always do not bring my emotions into my positions of matters.

I am a man if at all my emotions should tilt on a side it should be in support of the men folks and not the women but when speaking of the injustice of societal bans one's emotions should never be in the deciding factor.

You are free to wear anything you choose to wear, which ever way people react to it is their doing not yours.

A woman's dressing in as much as it can trigger urges in a man doesn't place her the obligation of taking responsibility for man's inability to restrain himself.

We see women everyday dressed in all kinds of way same way we see men everyday dressed same. . That you cannot control the urges that surge within you is not the woman's fault.

That you choose to act on this urge and met out inhumane action of rape on the woman is entirely your fault and your doing.

A woman has the right just like you to wear what she likes and what she feels comfortable in, your reaction to it is your own doing. . . She is under no obligation to dress in a way to sate your urge that you cannot keep it in check is your doing entirely

We are in charge of our actions and choices unless you tell me that a woman's dressing controls your action?

Try and understand before concluding bro![/b]

krattoss:
but sometimes, we cant help it.. So far as the urge is there, anything is possible

It is not the woman's fault that you cannot hold yourself from acting on your raging sexual urge, it is your fault in entirety if you fail to know when restraint is necessary and how to employ proper self control.

Blaming the women for the weakness, silliness and the inability of man to have a self control principle is very wrong.

She has the right to wear what wants and feels comfortable in, what ever reaction you allow yourself in response to that is totally you doing and not the woman's

Sarassin:
Indeed, a comparative study of some of ancient texts puts many religions into perspective, for instance the Hammurabi Code which went on to form the basis of Hebrew Deuteronomic Law as well as Islamic Law, as we have seen there is the influence of Egyptian writings on Hebraic Law and religion and perhaps one of my favorites, the Ugaritic writings detailing the Sumerian pantheon and the standings of the Canaanite Gods.

I have also just finished a comparative study of the influence of the Greek cult of Orpheus on early Christianity which bafflingly, is something that the early Christian Church has made no attempt to explain.

[b]It is indeed curious how older myths are always reworked and represented in another culture painted with their cultural decorum.

The tower of babel an example, Just a temple at the center of Babylonia built for the worship of the Sun god Marduk, we all know how it was mutilated in the much earlier jewish text representing it with a flimsy tower attempted to be built.

Compare the Sumerian Gilgamesh text and the Noah fable.… The influence of older Myths from older cultures in the bible is undeniable and very clear. . . The 1st creation poem gives a testimony of being a product of the Babylonian Enuma elish creation myth.

The influence of Gnostic gospels on the Quran is very clear and heavily represented in many of its texts.

It's no doubt Greek culture influenced greatly the Newly emerged Christianity in those ages it is shown clearly in the adoption of the greek Tartarus concept this time misrepresented into a mythical hell.

I find it fascinating how much a little ancient antiquity can reveal when so much work have been put in place to tilt your interest away from them [/b]

We have always being taught that women's body will cause men to commit sin.

We were told that if women showed too much of their body it would cause men to do stupid things.

Lets be clear: A woman's body is not dangerous to you, her body will not cause you harm, it will not make you do stupid things.

If you do stupid things it is because you choose to do stupid things.

Do not blame the women for wearing what works for them and what they want rather blame the men who do stupid things because they cannot hold themselves from being stupid

its rather too hasty and sounds premeditated jumping into a bias conclusion as to say that one faiths anything s/he believes, be that as it may, theres a perspective am coming which is christianity and not just anything as may have infered. The faith is here is in CHRIST JESUS AS LOrd and Saviour

Meaning you wish to limit the magnanimity of your faith to One.
You wish to out write the obvious contradictory faith based beliefs and limit to one standard.

Yet again, some sects believe in the Godship of Jesus why some regard him as just a man . . . So yet again another contradicting faith basis, there still are huge difference and opposition in this faith basis you proposed

Aaaaaah the holy spirit defence, this just made matters worse.

All these 40,000 sects and opposing doctrines all lay claim to the teachings of this holy spirit so how come the same holy infallible spirit teachings gave rise to 40,000 distinct meanings.

It is either that spirit is confused or there is no spirit teaching anybody anywhere but men following their ideologies rooted in their egos and sentiments

So over 33,000 denominations of christianity have contrasting revelations from the same bible?...

The first question should be "Why an all powerful God needs you to read an ancient book to determine what he says and wants instead of telling you" Something that needs you to read an outdated book to determine what you think the entity says is a self debunking concept

Different denominations in christianity have just faith as its base.

And this betrays the irrationality behind it all. . Like you rightly assert they all have FAITH as their basis.

That is why opposing doctrines all needs faith as their bases.
Catholics believe in a three in person God while some sects don't and both hold on to their convictions by faith.

This only means faith is not rooted in truth but rooted in the conviction buttered in the emotional sentiments of the person with faith... Faith means you just believe and hold steady to your convictions whether it's true or not, clearly that's insanity

Christianity Etc › Re: Can One Lie Disqualify A Truth ? by johnydon22(m): 9:20am On Jul 25, 2015

plaetton:
I disagree with you completely.

Common sense tells us a lie and a truth are incompatible, and cannot coexist. One nullifies the other.

Even in our system of justice, any evidence, witness or contract that is determined to contain one grain of lie, automatically nullifies and disqualifies it.
Anything built on a lie, even a small lie, cannot and should never be accepted as truth, no matter how important or convenient.

And, I fail to understand what You mean by stating that there is no absolute truth.

Johnydon22 posted on Nairaland today.
Is that an absolute truth or half truth?

The context i took into consideration knowing fully well he was driving from.
Let me give you an example. "Johnydon can fly, johnydon is a man" Looking at this now that i can fly is a huge lie but that i am a man is a known truth.
The lie that i can fly does not nullify the truth that i am a man rather it only reduces the quality of the truth in the statement above.

So the lie in the statement does not make the statement an absolute lie neither does the truth in it make it an absolute truth… You understand me now?

[b]Lol is that the new line?

Actually nobody is saying God is dead because before you say something no longer is, you must first have to prove it once have been.

Most atheist you meet were once christians because they were born into christian homes and areas saturated by christianity due to geographical location.

You cannot expect someone who have not read the quran to start arguing with that which he has not read, or is that how your life is? You argue over what you have no idea of?

Most atheist you see here on nairaland were once christians or lived in christian areas and are most familiar with the bible and christian thumping ish, so they engage you based on what they know.
Muslims atheist attack more of islam, in fact i think muslims atheist are predominant among atheists on twitter yet as usual you wish to play the victims card.

Many a time they engage the muslims who seem to be quite conservative in engaging atheists unlike christians like you who just open threads to point at atheist then cry victim when it starts.

If muslims start opening threads pointing fingers and threatening people as much as you do here then they would have gotten as much attention from atheist like christianity obviously is getting.

Atheism doesn't mean disbelief in christian God, it means disbelief in ALL of the God concepts man has come up with through out history.

So same way i disbelieve your God yahweh is exactly same way i disbelieve muslim Allah and equally disbelieve Hindu Brahma or Greek Zeus. . . And if you find out the reason why you disbelieve these other religions then you will know exactly why i disbelieve yours.

These other religions tend to keep it to themselves, i have never seen a hindu preach to me or tell me what brahma will do to me if i don't believe it neither in this part of the country have i seen a muslims preach to me in fact the only place i have seen a mosque here is in the barracks. .

I have no problem with your christian God or Belief just like i have no problem with the Muslim God tho i have a problem with their barbaric laws which i am sure i speak and argue against here on nairaland much well.

But robbing your belief on my face like we get everyday both in the street, bus, school virtually everywhere in the name of preaching is practically encroaching in my personal right and space and we have a problem with that.

In nairaland muslims isolate themselves in one section and they pour and swallow their absuridities there once they bring it out in an open ground like here they know quite well they will get exactly what you get...

Once you bring out absurdities and mythical brouhaha in an open public forum like this, you should expect to be challenged and given healthy refutation unless you wish just like a typical theist to shield your belief from skeptic scrutiny... mind you homo sapiens aint robots that are supposed to download what ever you feed into the hardware.

Christians open most threads about atheists then complain when they get equal attention from atheist, is that not blatant hypocrisy and if i must say childish victim mindset.

This thread alone is enough to show you pin point atheist more than other religions care to do so do not complain when they accord you similar favour.

After all God is not dead, that which has not been shown to live cannot be said to be dead..

and he is coming soon, probably in the next 10000years he will still be coming soon... You need a dictionary to know the meaning of SOON.

Last your religion of today, is the myth of the future. . . Take a look behind historical timeline to see that

Lest i forget, if you don't want atheist to stop attacking your christian absurdities...
Why not just pray for us to stop, am sure your christian God is all powerful and can do that. So pray for us to stop....it should be easy for your God and i suggest you start your fasting and prayers immediately.

Until then, you have to deal with atheist bullshiit everyday [/b]

On 28th march last year I woke to someone screaming thief! Thief! Thinking it was one of those petty thieves that Often come around to steal, my roommate sprang out to help chase d guys. I followed him (I was directly behind him), we've not gone 1pole from my room when I heard a gunshot. My roommate dropped while I ran. Cud have been me, just like that. After that incident I knew God's hands were on me. Though am not totally faithful to him but I've built a relationship with him. Thank you YAHWEH

This is a typical example of selfishness, barbarism, evil and greediness in belief. . . Your roommate died and you survived so God's hands were on you unfortunately God's hands were not on your roommate thats why he had to die.

I think you seriously need a psychiatric evaluation. . . it was 1 bullet on 2 targets. . .it was either you or your friend and as you said you were behind him, so who exactly was likely to be the mortal target. . .Again, you cannot think!!!
