OLAADEGBU: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, . . . honest, . . . just, . . . pure, . . . lovely, . . . of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8.)

We are admonished to think on these things and not on other things! I hope those teaching on evolution theory would also take note of this because our educational systems, media houses and literatures are being ridden with ideologies that induces our children to think on evil or ugly things. Christian thinking used to influence the education systems but this is being eroded quickly and the Christian God, biblical creation, prayer meetings and expository bible studies are being excluded from the system especially here in the UK an US. and our people studying here in an anti God secular religion - that the universe and all that exists within it can be explained without the Christian God are now indoctrinating our people in their home countries with them all the evil and ugly things to think about.

Something for you to think about

https://www.nairaland.com/920190/why-man-greater-than-god

This is a better debate

The biblical God;

-only talked to people in the middle east, especially Jews while man has created the internet and mobile phones to communicate with anyone, anywhere
-took 40 days to destroy the world with flooding while modern man can destroy the whole world in hours with nuclear bombs/WMDs
-has ten commandments written on stone while man has thousands of laws written on paper, on the internet, on computers, mobile phones etc
-claims to have created the world without scientific evidence while man/manufactures have logos or signatures on their creations
-only managed to impregnate one virgin (Mary) while man, through artificial insemination, can make not only thousands of virgins pregnant but also lesbians as well.

The deist/agnostic God;
-creates life and hides behind unknown cosmology without taking credit for his creation while man/manufacturers provide warranties for their creations/products with pride
-watches his creation with indifference like a peeping tom while man/manufacturers monitor and get feedback or sometimes recall their products.
-creates imperfect world, doesnt give a sh!t about errors while man/manufacturers recall factory errors after feedback
-creates some planets for no damn reason while man/manufacturers create products for a reason




Any questions?

I thought this debate was going to be interesting. This thread deserves to be derailed.

Kay 17: Wipe out dissent and criticism. And this isn't the first time you have deleted my post.

Kay 17, I myself do not agree with Islam. However, you cant expect muslims or any religous person to react nicely to attacks on their religion on a forum especially if there are rules to be complied with.

frosbel: And what has this to do with Morality




The entire Human Race at one time or the other have been guilty of war crimes , it does not matter if they are black / white / Asian etc.




Yeah right , let me tell you something mate, I have lived here ( planet earth ) for a few decades now and can tell you that things are not getting better but worse. What planet do you live on ?

1) Are you suggesting the discrimination has nothing to do with morality?

2) Somethings are getting better, somethings are not.

Rastamouse, you're going down.

I am willing to bet $10,000 that you're a hypocrite. All warriors of morality are hypocrites. Morality is subjective.


You want to compare this present times to the 1960's? You want to compare the blatant discrimination in the 1960's to today? Ask any successful minority how they made it in the past. As someone who has elder relatives from. Nigeria, America and the UK, can tell you that discrimination in the past was 10 times worse. A black man studying in university in UK or US could be lynched for dating a white woman in the 70's. A black man/minority had to prove that he was not a product of affirmative action or that he was 2x better than his fellow co workers. What about Nigeria? What about the rampant tribalism in the 70's, 80's and 90's in the corporate world of Lagos and Abuja. An Ijaw/Urhobo/Efik who are not from the 3 major tribes always suffer to get ahead in the corporate world. In Lagos, the Yoruba cabal suffered many of my uncles working in big Nigerian companies- no promotion if you aren't Yoruba. If you are deemed to be better, you get transferred to another branch, so that you wouldnt threaten them.


What about wars and exploitation of Africa/Asia by America and European states in the 60's, 70's and 80's? Where was the morality then? Taking this straight to religion, what about the constant oppression of atheists in those times in America? It is only recent that separation of church and state is fully enforced

Morality is subjective. We can argue that the past is better or the past isnt

rastamouse: Like you never tried to answer the question. You tried and failed. Honestly I am very shocked that no atheist here have been able to answer the question.

lol.....failed? to answer why birds fly?

Keep deluding yourself

Jenwitemi: I ask all members who frequent her to discuss. Is the forum a FORUM for debates and discussions, or a PULPIT for preachers preaching their own version of reality to us all? Why are you here? To discuss theological issues, or listen to online preachers preaching to you while you give no feedback?

I ask this question because there seem to be a whole lot of preaching threads on this forum being opened daily and nobody is expected to have an opposing opinions on them.

Nothing we can do

haters gonna hate

preachers gonna preach.

Two options;

a) Derail their preaching threads
2) Ignore tei preaching threads

buzugee: what is the definition of deism and gnostic and agnostic ? i hear these words thrown around by white men but i have never bothered to check for their deep meaning.

Can you not show your racism for once in a a thread?

Blackteeth: Anyone who calls himself an atheist should be able to provide the answer to rasta's question.
Atheists havent explained and solved smaller problems and they want to solve a bigger problem concerning God's existence. Lol

You are not serious. Yeah, atheists should feed the troll called rastamouse

rastamouse: You think so?

Of course.

vedaxcool: Atheist winning or atheist whining? I think the latter is more in order, there are many threads atheist have been shown to be just that atheist, take for instance the thread started on what contribution atheism has made, all the atheist did was to whine . . . and when their whining was no longer helpful they concluded that it was impossible for atheism to have made any contribution to mankind! and to conclude people like logicmind always make the case of the theist easier by showing that atheism is fundamentally rooted in illogical behavior, something logicmind tend to show whenever he decides to befuddle logic!

You lie. But thanks for ur opinion

rastamouse: Was that supposed to be an answer to my question?

[size=50pt]FAIL[/size]

like a moth to a flame

rastamouse: Hahahahahah....

but

[size=50pt]FAIL[/size]

Rastamouse has come to troll and derail again.

Seriously, no answer will be satisfactory for rastamouse questions. It's a trick just for him to get an excuse to say "fail"


BTW......Rastas have their own religon different from Christianity....Haile Selassie! Why a christian would call himself "Rastamouse" wonders me.

lepasharon: Americans are destroying Islam

Strong statement there. So what about the destruction of Islam. Any further details?

rastamouse: OK let me help you with a hint on your question. One set was made for the water and the other was not made for the water. I will give you another shot at the question. I know you can do better than what you did previously

Yes, ask me a question and then, when I destroy the question, you say that I failed.

Martian: It's in its infancy so the details are probably going to be worked out over the next few years if the countries decide to continue their cooperation. It's probably just going to be another G7, G20 type of organization.

http://www.voanews.com/english/news/BRICS-Nations-Inch-Toward-Development-Bank-144890255.html

Yep, your news link doesnt refer to them as an organisation. They might become one in the future

Blackteeth: Here we go again Mr Atheist. Were you not the one asking why God doesnt interfere in our lives? If you wouldnt like to be a slave to God, would you like it if God interferes in your life everyday to force you do things against your will and be a slave to him? Dont you think its still better he doesnt interfere?

Agreed. If God helped us avoid evil, I wouldnt see him as a slave master. Helping people avoid evil- is that not interfering?

ea7: As we all presumably know, deists believe in a non interventionist God. We have no evidence for him. I would like deepsight and/or blackteeth to make a case for god belief.
I think atheism, deism and agnosticism are the same in a way. God is irrelevant in all. Atheism and agnosticism are the same.no question.

The have similarities but not the same. I agree with your overall sentiments though.

rastamouse: As expected...

[size=30pt]FAIL[/size]

Anyone else to try?....

Can you explain how I failed?

If God makes one set of animals to avoid drowning and the other not to drown,he created drowning. Simple

Ishilove: So much name calling. No wonder people are converting to atheism.
What in God's name has slavery got to do with the topic of this thread?? Na wa o

No vex, na so life be

[quote author=st.okolie]First God is supernatural,he is the one who has existed before time began,the one who sets the wheel of time in motion,
Who says the earth was created imperfect.[/quote]Earthquake, cyclones, tsunamis? Is the arth really perfect?

musKeeto: Lol.. now it's about headquarters, not if they're an organization.. You win, man, you win...

They are not an organisation. What organisation doesnt have headquarters or a president?



I'm too much

rastamouse: Any atheist to try an answer?

Scene 1; God creates amphibians .............Scene 1; God creates man

Scene 2; Amphibians jump into water...........Scene 2; Man jumps into water

Scene 3; Amphibians dont drown.................Scene 3; Man drowns



Did God create drowning? Yes

musKeeto: For your info, I live in India, and BRICS had a meetin in DELHI last month. They're more than a list of developing countries, they're an organization. It was first BRIC, before South Africa joined them, to make it BRICS..

Since you love quoting from wikipedia..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRICS

Where is the BRICS headquarters?

OPEC has heardquarters and a president.

buzugee: why i gotta watch from the sidelines ? why i cant participate ?

and why do you humans like to put labels on each other ? agnostic gnostic theism atheism deism islam christian buddhist etc etc wtf is all that nonsense ? yall crazier than a six legged cat on crack

Your scriptural explanations blow people's minds. I had to calm down with cider to stop my head from exploding after reading one of your theories

Blackteeth: Well, I think at this point I would say God is matter. Matter assembled to build everything via evolution or whatever process. As we are seeing matter, we are seeing God as well. God exists!

Then your God is inanimate, given the basic definition of matter.

rastamouse: So you don't even follow your own logic? How low can you get?

musKeeto: una don crase finish
