Really? I'll do the same. And if it doesn't happen (which is certain), I will quote this post again.

I'm now following this thread - Sept 25th, isn't it?

fantasticshaw:
Don't forget that He walked on water and rose from the dead which is more difficult than being free from nails. He let that happen because He loves you and for your information He's alive and He will come whether anybody believes it or not. You're simply acting out what the bible said will happen before Jesus returns (scorn and scuff) so I'm not surprised but it's not good for you.

fantasticshaw:
The Lord said it, so it will be done. Let no one judge the Lord by his/her feeble sense or by logic and human reasoning. Tell me by logic how bone forms in the womb, how fiber grows from the human body or how a flowing sea could stand still ( division of the Red Sea). All eyes will see him period !

Again you are telling me about christianity, and making it look special because Christianity happen to be the religion you subscribe to. Every religion tells it's followers that it is the only special religion and offers them ways through which it stands out from other religions. Even sects within the same religion make also that claim. Catholics for example claim to be the only true christians, shites claim to be the only true muslims and on and on. Christianity through systematic indoctrination has come to be a part of your identity, your place in the world, your family, your community, your meaning, direction and security in life. Rational reasons have nothing to do with why you are a christian. over 95 percent of christians, Hindus, Shinto, Buddisht, muslims etc were born into those families. So the main determining factor of what religion you believe in is birth and place in human history, not because of a well thought out rational process. If you were born 3 thousand years ago in Mexico you would have been worshiping the Mayan Gods. If it was 5 thousand years ago in Egypt your would have worshiped the Sun God, if it were a thousand years ago in Nigeria you would have worshiped the Gods of your ancestors.

I am still putting it to you that if your ancestors were colonized by the Indians you would have been propagating Hinduism, if they were conquered by the Arabs you would have been telling us that there is no God but Allah the way most of the muslims on this forum are doing. You are just emotionally attached to your religion and try to protect it from cold hard critical examination and that is all there is to it. Your emotional attachment to your religion makes you selective and biased about what yo see, that is why you are constantly showing the muslim faults in their Koran, but when they show you the same in your bible, your emotional attachments block it and you fail to see it. You keep criticizing their prophet as a war monger and a bad man, but Moses in your bible whom your God says is his best prophet is no different than Mohammed. You favor information that confirms your preconceptions and discard information that runs contrary to it. You keep promoting the christian concept of God and theology which is quite different from that of other religions as the best forgetting that other religions have their own concept and theology which they also believe is the best and they utterly believe they are right, you can say anything to them but they will duck , dive and dismiss everything you say, just they way you do to them as well. I have been following your debates with the muslims here.

You are all deluded. Both you and the muslims. You know nothing apart from what you have been indoctrinated with. The muslims don't think they are lying to you do they? They actually believe they are telling you the perfect truth and you are the one that is being irrational, unreasonable and hostile. That is why most of these debates are pointless in my opinion because as a christian your starting point is your faith which is your everything. To you, your religion is true and every discussion should be about defending it, just as you have done here. Those of us that criticize your religion are evil and agents of satan according to the buffer you have been indoctrinated with. Faith to you is the starting point, but it is not supposed to be so, doubt is supposed to be the starting point. Doubt and not faith ought to be the starting point of any rational analysis. I don't care about the christian theology because it is man made. I just care about reality as I see it. And the reality is that all religions and Gods are man made.

After going on hunger strike for 40 days and 40 nights,the dude went mental,destroyed the synagog and even proclaimed himself king of the Jews. No wonder he got nailed before others took him serious.

[b]No we don't care in fact we will be happy to be on our own without disturbance. . But when people throw their absurdities to our face we can't just seat and watch.. we can't just watch you rub fairy tales all over our face, maybe you are not that observant to see the effect of religions in the day to day lives of everyone in this country. Maybe you haven't seen the countless churches that wouldn't allow you sleep at night with bangs from incredible speakers and instruments, maybe people coming to your house to force and threaten you with jewish myths, people rubbing it on your face in buses, schools and virtually everywhere.

Even here on nairaland they create thread to chastise atheist just like this one you termed a "Question" but in the real sense one is sure to notice its not really one.

If i am to remain silent i would be guilty of complicity or my silence will be taken as one. Gone are those days people will watch you pour out myths in public and teach them as truth, teaching superstitions as reality even with the cankerwormous effect it has on our society and people.

No when you teach myths as truth you should be ready to defend it because people are bound to refute, challenge and argue on it... Isn't it hypocritic you want atheists to leave religion section alone when you lot cannot leave atheists alone but always resort to bashing and threatening them.

I don't believe spiderman exists but if you try to teach otherwise in public am sure you would expect me to argue and discourse it, thats exactly what we are doing here... If you want everyone to mind their business, why not mind yours first[/b]
We all can clearly see this was not a question after all. . . because this number 2 is in no way a question...
Even though this number three contradicts number 2 point i will still address it.

Someone asked "how this?" and you conjured up one "hoo haa put it in a boomboom" and expect them to believe it?
you tell someone "a virgin was impregnated by a God" and expect them to just swallow it mindlessly? of course such absurdities will always birth more and more questions. . if you are not ready for the question then don't bother starting a discourse in the first place.

Unless as usual you want to save your religion from healthy scrutiny and arguments..
Remarkably "God" is a noun that is used to refer to every monotheistic deity, and we have hundreds of such monotheistic religions..

so the word is not a name of any deity in particular. . its merely a lingual expression and has Germanic and Scandinavian pegan origin....

The word "God" can be used which ever way one deems fit...
Seems you have not been in nairaland lately because most threads about atheists are from Christians, even this one also adds weight to that.

We get threads everyday pin pointing, threatening and chastising atheists by christians daily here and you shout when they accord you the same favour? am very sure Muslims to get their own share of refutation by atheists on this forum but you only get much of what you give....

I do not see any Hindu here trying to demonize African culture to uphold Hindu traditions, or telling me or youwhat God (Brahma) will do to any of us because we don't believe it.

neither do i see any Muslim creating threads to threaten atheists. . they all keep and swallow their absurdities themselves. . i for one create threads against Islam but they dont play the victims card like you always want to play.

Until you stop pouring and feeding the public myths as truth, you wouldn't have to worry about people who refute it..
Am sure every sane person know the effects of religion on our society and at the same cause know the effect of politics and can differentiate between a political and religious cause, maybe you don't.

We cry "Foul" when people are thought to abandon reason, when violence and wrath are encouraged instead of empathy and compassion... Like the recent sentence of 9 people in Kano to death just because they insulted a sun baked old dead arab man.. I do not need to list to you the effects of these in our society..

lmao you are not very bright are you...??

Atheist preach what exactly? They only refute, argue, discourse and place your beliefs under scrutiny?

Muslims, Buddhist, Christians and all have the right to preach (That's fine) and in you biased and bigoted post you forgot to add [size=16]And an atheist also has the right to question it [/size]……
Exactly the point...

I have no problem what you believe, worship or do.. I don't care if you think a gold pink diamond Dog exists.

But when you try rubbing your belief in the diamond dog on me, when you want to infuse the so called laws of the Dog into the state, when you shout and encroach into my own space, when you want to tell me what to do so as not to offend your diamond dog.. when people are blown up in the name of the dog, when you disturb my sleep in the name of the dog, or threatening me up and down with a burning fire or try to pour out your dog hypothesis as a universal truth......

Then we have a problem...because you have thrown it to my face and i am bound to reject and fight back and voice out my own sentiment..

So why don't you first keep your beliefs to yourself with that you wouldn't need to worry about people who refute it

What guarantee do you have that after going to heaven and God has destroyed the sinners that this cycle of sinning and forgiveness by shedding of blood will not continue?
Since Adam and Eve were created as perfect humans without sin yet somehow they sinned,how much more we who have tasted sin alot. this means that the second we get into heaven this sacrifice will be required ten fold because im sure humans will always find a way to screw things up even if you turn them into spirits.
I assume that your God did not think of this when he was making his foolish plans for eternity.
How come this your God threw satan and his demons down to earth to surfer you when there were other planets for satan to be chased into.
Are you sure that this God loves you at all?
I can remember that the reason for throwing satan down was because God could no longer endure him and his transgressions. If God being almighty and powerful could not endure satan, how much more we humans who are feeble and weak?
Abeg make we try to de think small before we accept every nonsense they shove down our throats.
Seriously religion is nonsense.

kobosmalls:
you just said it all here. Im always happy reading and seeing that there are still Nigerians who think with their brains and not allow fear of nonsense and nothing rule their lives just because some foolish normadic men told them stories about how men lived up to 900 years old and how the same God who loves them will burn them in fire if they dont listen. we humans who are wicked cant even imagine burning our kids because they sinned unless we are psychotic. This God wey no dey exist self no deserve respect self.

kobosmalls:
What a slow topic to discuss. "Without the shedding of blood,there is no forgiveness.
so your own parents forgive you only when someone sheds their blood. What a bunch of slow fkups.

so you want to tell me that your fairy tale almighty God who created the whole universe out of nothing and made man with his words alone could not forgive your sins or better still abolish sin forever without shedding the blood of someone innocent. Foolish people! You religious touts should all get a heavy spanking to bring some reasoning into your silly brains.

the shedding of blood sounds exactly like the kind of sacrifice African idols require during rituals.
Please people, you guys are homo sapiens,you are supposed to be smart, not as wally and gullible as your ape grand parents or the neanderthal man from long ago.
You have an enlarged frontal brain lobe for a reason; think with it you slow saps.

What a bunch of sorry excuses for modern man.

Don't be deceived. God is not mocked for whatever a man sows he will reap.

orisa37:
Anything that is irrational with the Truth and understanding, is destroyed. Jesus did so when He chased out the traders from the Zynagogue. The miracle of casting evil out of anyone is breaking the old Temple in him. When Jesus cursed the Fig-Tree, He was destroying the bokoharam of the area where that Fig Tree was. So bokoharam is a disaster that must be bombed out of the ne fast. It is evil and so The Righteous cannot be yoked with it equally or unequally. The Pastor who destroyed the shrine might be acting on Instructions from Christ The Righteous, like Jesus did when He asked His Disciples to bring Him the coat of an ass, He wasn't stealing the donkey.

why can't you reject the cloth they gave you because your forefathers were naked and you too try to stand on their go on and wear leaves as your clothes. You rejected their religion then reject their civilisation and remain primitive like a baboon.

that's your family shrine. Pele so o gbo.

jcross19:
that shrine belong to your father? Are the complaining? What's your own there now? Who is protesting now for the action of the pastor in that vicinity? Why do you carry another problem on your head and leave your unsolved
