Bill Gates- atheist
Seun Osewa (owner of this site) atheist


Both of these guys are fools according to the bible
===========================================


But a Nairaland "lincoln Burrows" who feels all christiany and moral but chooses to name himself after a prison inmate is not a fool

What has our nairaland user name got to do with the topic at hand? I'm not the one that said u r a fool. It's the bible. Even before u became an atheist the bible had been written. So pls deal with it. I know your life is a mess. Confusion and rejection seems to be ur name and that's why u r seeking answers with physical evidence. Christians act by Faith. Everything we do is about faith.we don't need to see before we believe. But u see after u believed.

Clearly the bible says that only a fool says in his heart there is no God. I'm sure this answers your question

shagaman: This is a little deviation from the post,but i just feel the need to drill down on potential graduates,sometimes its not all about the money for a fresh graduate to be candid a Nigerian graduate does not have the required experience based on what is taught in school.
In life we have to choose our paths,an advise immediately you are employed please start planing your next destination,it helps as it makes you focus on the desired developmental strategies that would take you to where you desire,experience would come gradually,which would now be the selling point for negotiation,7 years ago i started with a salary of 12k, i rebranded and with the help of GOD,things happened so fast, relocated ,came back...Things are far better now sha...AND Honestly Naija make sense dieeeeeeeee.....

And your point is ......

And we kill ourselves everyday over football

Football may be the world's favorite sport — and something that people will use their spare time to learn more about on superbly written Yahoo! blogs — but that doesn't mean the professional players who entertain us actually have to have any interest in what they're doing.
As a Premier League footballer for the past seven seasons, many would say Tottenham defender Benoît Assou-Ekotto has one of the best jobs in the world, but the Cameroon international is happy to admit that he doesn't actually like the game. When he turns up at White Hart Lane on a Saturday, he often doesn't know anything about the opposition, nor the league standing of his club. In a Guardian interview in 2010, he even went as far as saying he only "plays for the money," not the enjoyment of the game.
In a new Guardian interview published on Friday, Assou-Ekotto reiterates his lack on interest in the beautiful game and even admits an astonishing lack of knowledge concerning one of the biggest recent incidents in world football:
"I don't particularly like talking about football. I don't immerse myself in it."
As if to illustrate the point, Assou-Ekotto looks blank when Luis Suárez's biting of Branislav Ivanovic comes up. "He did what?" he asks. "Il a mangé?" If he is joking, the deadpan expression is inscrutable. "Surely, Benoît ... come on." But no, it is plain. He has no idea. Assou-Ekotto has never got the fuss about football and footballers.
In some ways, his indifference to the game is fair enough. When an accountant gets home from work on a Friday night, he probably has no interest in a detailed discussion about spreadsheet formulas or proposed tax rate changes. When the person who makes burgers for British supermarkets finishes his shift, he probably doesn't want to talk about cows (and horses). But to live in England and not have any idea that Luis Saurez bit an opponent — a news story so over-saturated that the Prime Minister even waded in with his opinion — is absolutely astounding.
Interestingly, Assou-Ekotto also shuns many aspects of the Premier League footballer lifestyle. He doesn't live in the McMansion-heavy Essex town of Chigwell with the rest of Spurs' squad, he traded his Bentley in for a Smart Car and he has so little interest in socialising with his teammates that he only has two footballers in his mobile phone contacts. If he also disliked glamour models he would essentially be the polar opposite of Jermain Defoe.

FOLYKAZE: I remembered paul sayings. If Jesus didn't resurrect (as proven the dude only exist in the book) then christian faith is vanity.


Why are you following the path of vanity o african man

As proven?
By who pls?

ezme: Anytime I see Christians defend their Christianity with the Pascal's wager,it really gets me laughing as if the Christian God is the only one available to wager on. What if you are wagering on the wrong god?

Lol! Anyway thanks for teaching me about the Pascal's wager. Just googled it! I didn't know about it when I made those statements. But bro, u need to really think about it. You've got nothing to lose if it turns to be false.

When I said religion was a force of good, I didn't include some other religions that I'm not so sure of what they believe. I'm aware some religions could encourage people to be terrorists and suicide bombers so I can't say those ones are a force for good.

If it turns out to be the false god(which I'm convinced its not) I still have nothing to lose. I have seen great miracles done by my God. I've seen the lame walk. So my God(Jesus) is the true God

mazaje: Bill Gates does not believe in god. . .

Ok I now see the reason why u chose to believe what u believe. Just because the likes of gates and buffets are agnostic.
The truth is that I have nothing to lose even if everything i believe turns out to be false. And I have everything to gain if believing in Jesus turns out to be true. Either way its a win win situation.
So I will stick to believing in my Lord Jesus even u use all your scientific knowledge against it.


By the way, religion(Christianity) has been a force for good over the years.

Chidi odiah sat in a pew before me in church today(salvation ministries- ph) and I have been seeing him recently in some joints in ph. Think he is trying start up something here in ph. So this story is complete bullshit.

I thought that okija-juju and pagan4life were atheists. I didn't see their input in this thread. Anyway I don't have anything to prove to the likes of purists and mazaje.. I know what the Bible says about atheists. It amazes me that they think they are smarter than the likes of bill gates who believe in God.

Hypocrites! Everywhere especially on nairaland. Can you tell me one governor, senator or president who is not as guilty as alams? Just because he was caught just like the adulterous woman in the bible. I have said it before and I will say it again: if I was in GEJ's shoes, I will do the same. He's the man that made him who he is and it's not as if he was convicted of heinous crimes like murder or terrorism. So lets stop raining abusive words on him as if he was responsible for the biafran genocide of 1967.

shymexx: 30-40 pounds but you can also make up to 60-90 pounds doing construction work... It all depends on you...

That means the Uk is even overhyped. Just come back to nigeria, you will be making more than that with little effort. It's not worth the stress.
There's so much money in this country(Naija)

peter onyii: PEACE ALSO BE WITH YOU HOLY FATHER AND MAY YOUR DAYS BE LONG TO DIRECT THE CHURCH ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE. TO THOSE THAT ARE DOING ASIRI HERE, HOW MANY TIMES HAS YOUR BISHOP OR DADDY IN THE LORD PRAYED FOR PEACE TO REGAIN ITS GROUND AGAIN IN THE WORLD? INSTEAD PREACHING FOR TITHE AND BRINGING MEGA OFFERING TO THE CHURCH.
ABEG MAKE UNA LEAVE NNA ANYI POPE TO REST. HE IS HOLY FATHER WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. GBAM.....

U Dey cra.ze! U wan make them come Dey pray openly for peace so that u would applaud them like the Pharisees in the Bible. Park well joor

Who is wole Soyinka? Is he a shoe maker at Alaba int'l market?

GEJ Remains the best president nigeria has ever heard. Improved power supply, access to good roads and more so a listening ear to the yearnings of the people. Oya now go and impeach him. Na to Dey quote constitution and humna rights be the thing? When your brothers (the abokis) have sworn to make the state ungovernable

adewasco2k: i will be pleased to moderate the Jobs and Vacancies thread, i spend 60% of my nairaland time on these thread, actually not for job search but to help clueless job seekers on the thread either on some online applications or identifying scam job adverts.

I will not want to say more than this because i know if you want a good moderator it doesnt depend solely on what he or she says but on your research.
lastly about time spent online....i am almost online 24hrs/7days

You Dey nairaland 24/7? You no get work?

konn: diamond bank no be am at all o if you are not occupying a very big position nothing for you. you will be used and dumped like a rag my dad worked in diamond bank for almost 18 years till he died no improvement even his pension and gratuity has not been paid till now 4 years after his demise

The main question shoul be: did your dad work a professional staff or as a contract staff? Don't expect much if your dad was the latter. It's just a lesson for u. Always seek a plan B.

Pls all these computer gurus down here, I want y'all to send your c.v's to my inbox. I want to start a software company and I need people like you. I promise a very rewarding salary package.
Thanks

koksybrown: Dumped my iphone 4 cause it cudnt perform wat my curve 2 did... Lets take the crazy Naija mentality off and the pinging things. I enjoy a blackberry phone better than any other smartphone in the world.

You need to check a doctor. Probably a psychiatrist
