the crap "atheism " should end in 2017


it can't stand without a God....I don't take atheists seriously

Sapiosexuality:
I'd also like to see the end of the tag 'Agnostic Atheist'. It makes no sense. You are either an atheist or agnostic. You can't be both.

mujahid777:
Believing in an uncaused universe is an irrational viewpoint,hence the necessity of God.

mujahid777:
You gave a humanist definition of what morality should be and not an atheistic one.Atheism in itself has no concept of morality.
Believing in an uncaused universe is an irrational viewpoint,hence the necessity of God.

Though Jesus was a real figure, almost 85% of what people preach/teach about him are either untrue or mixed with untruths and lack credibility.

The reason for the proliferation of churches all over Nigeria is not because there is a zeal for the things of God or for righteousness or to love one's neighbour as themselves, the main reason is MONEY. There is big MONEY to be made, it is a franchise business just like MacDonalds, KFC and the likes.

Deeper life, RCCG, Christ Embassy and others are mostly franchises, collecting money from people, keeping some for the local church and sending the majority to the headquarters to be used for empire building and personal enrichment of the so-called man of God.

Jesus is big business in Nigeria, he is not a myth. Every Sunday the sheeple rush to these Jesus business franchises to 'buy' fake miracles, fake prophecies, fake healings and false promises from the almighty pastor.

How do u know Jesus was real?

The silly act of folding N500 into a girl's hand after visiting as Tfare should stop in 2017, guys take note.

Boland:
To narrow this down:

Light is an energy and for energy to be propagated, there is sure the need for its source.
So, with this deduction; I believe Light exists as an entity.

Darkness requires no energy, it simply appears where/when there is absence of light.
I personally believe, Darkness is a state of Nothingness.

So, with both deductions, we can all agree that; Darkness occurs when/where there is no light. Light nullifies the presence of darkness.

Light as an Entity proves that its energy needs to be propagated for continous existence, which also proves that it must have been designed/created.

Light without being well propagated will diminish, while darkness needs no such attention to exist, it simply exists where there is no light.

So, would you say Light is the absence of Darkness or Darkness is the absence of Light? (Kindly give reasons for your answer)

Here is the main question;
Looking at how the Sun and the Moon have been set in a perfect space for the existence of many, how can one leave that to chance?
Lets not forget, Light as an entity requires well designed/created and propagated energy.

How can we say, there is no designer for such magnitude of energy?

Gent:
What about you atheists later found out that God exists, and Christianity is real, and that there is a place called Heaven and hell which is (that is hell) definitely the final destination of atheists and all those that never accepted Christ, a place they will be forever, then what will you do?

delexy123:
Thanks for the matured response. Now here comes a rather baffling question...
If man Do Not Know how the idea of a 'god' came into the mind of the early man in the first place, why then do he feel the need to quickly dismiss the existence of 'god'?

delexy123:
I don't know why these questions below are always avoided when we know it holds the key to the knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of God. I will love you to have a go at it @Johnny don22...

1. How did the idea of a 'god' or 'spirit' first become conceived in the mind of the early man?

2. Why is man so attached to the idea of the existence of a 'god' that it has sparked thousands years of debate which is still ongoing?

3. Will there come a time when this debate will stop?

4. Will there be a time when the receding ignorance will cease to be and man will know all there is to be known? (note that at this point, man would be omniscience therefore, the debate of the existence of a 'god' will cease to be).

5. If there will be a time like that, will man be able to survive up to that time?

6. If possible, what are the chances that man will be able survive and achievements that feat?

7. If there is 'very low' or No chance that man will survive up to that time of being omniscience, then, why do man still debate the existence of a 'god' when he knows that he wouldn't live to proof or debunk it?

Long time bro

How can there be so many wonderful and amazing CREATURES without an intelligent CREATOR to make them? as you have stated, if the atheists answer to this question is "we don't know" and yet you rue out the possibility of God creating this things,then ,this my friend is the highest stage of ignorance a man will reach.

if your answer is"we don't know" don't you think we must not rue out the possibility of God exitance?

what difference does it make when a person realizes that an all-wise, loving, eternal, all-powerful God created the first man and woman? Recognizing a personal Creator makes man much more than an animal or an accident of nature.

malvisguy212:
knowledge begins when you ask this Questions about the origins of man: "Where did it begin?" "How did it all begin?" "How did it ?" "Where did it come from?"

How could all of these wonderful forms of life have come about by mere chance? Genesis 1:1 says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The atheists would want to rewrite it this way: "In the beginning, it just happened!"

TVTKOKO:
the Bible did not condemn them to death..

enshy:
Sarcasm isn't a Christian virtue.
It's a 21st century tool in the hand's of the devil.
You are same but you are all too small to pull down the Church of Christ...

PAGAN9JA:
Is Shiva/Lei Kun greater than jesus/muhammad who in turn are Greater than our African Gods?



Article by Eze Driz.zy:



I've been watching Bollywood movies since I was a toddler and I've never seen any scene where a western preacher walks into a village, goes to a Hindu temple, confronts the Hindu priests, battles the Hindu gods, wins, burns down the temple and converts the entire village to Christianity.

I've been watching Chinese movies too since like forever and I've never witnessed a scene like that.

But 80% of our Nollywood movies with plots set during the colonial era and even modern times have scripts like this.
Scenes of African gods being defeated by the white man's god.

Does it mean that the white man's god is powerless against Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, Buddha, Allah and all the Asian gods?
Is it only when matched against the black man's gods that the white man's juju is on top form?

Let me tell something:

Religion is nothing but a war of cultural identity and superiority.
And Africa lost.

The Indians and the Chinese held their gates.
They rejected every aspect of colonialism that sought to tarnish and belittle their cultural heritage.
That's why they stand proud today.
That's why you'll never find such scenes in their movies.

That's why you and I will never see anything wrong with a samurai, ninjas, kong fu, tai chi, yoga and all the things we see in movies from the lands of the rising sun.
Heck, Most of us wanted to be ninjas after watching Five Elements of Ninja and American Ninja, as kids.
The fact that ninjas are historically soulless blood thirsty assassins used by Japanese emperors to inflict fear and death on rebellious provinces didn't even matter. We all loved them regardless.

But the very sight of a dibia in a Nollywood movie would send negative signals to our brains.

Why do we always portray our cultural heritage in a negative light?

Yes they were crude and barbaric; evil even.
But which ancient culture wasn't?
Even the bible and Quran cultures you hold so dear are no exceptions.

It's funny how a lot of Africans still believe the white man gave them Christianity to save their souls and bring them salvation.
I laugh in 400 years of black slavery and subjugation.
Given how the white man treated our ancestors, like animals, how on earth are you people able to convince yourselves that they gave a mess about the black man's soul.
We were animals without souls to them!
Don't you see that you're still slaves?

It's 2017, the white mans world is working on innovative ideas. But Nigerian Facebook is lit with arguments of church tithes and offerings.
Is this how we're going to be great?

I've said this before and I'll say it again.
"Slavery never left Africa. They just removed the chains from our bodies and bound our minds with them".

Akdegreat:
Lots of questions on my mind.

Are the videos authentic?
If authentic, have they been slightly modified to enhance the 'dancing'?
Are the people enforcing a mass hallucination?
Did these hallucinations arise from prolonged starring at the sun?
If not hallucinations, did the sun literally dance/ shift/displace?
Can the sun do that?
Wouldn't that have devastating effects on earth?
If the sun danced, but not literally, then was there perhaps obstructions in the part of light travel to earth from sun?
Considering the speed of light, would these obstructions be said to be static or fast moving or rotatory?
Could it be caused by cloud formations or any other natural climatic conditions?
Does this occurance happen during a certain season? (Autumn, summer, spring, winter)?
Does the ceremony of the Mary bla bla bla fall in any of the seasons which the dance is most likely to happen?
Does it happen at other times when Mary is not involved, and there are no people in ceremonies to witness?
