Goshen360: I changed my mind. Abi e don become sin to change one's mind? I don't want to argue with Atheists plsssssssssssss. Infact, you guys are distorting our discussion here plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Did the OP said you guys are NOT needed or not? It means says una no dey hear word. Leave us plsssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Jenwitemi: Why the insultive word, though? Is that another sign of atheists winning theological debates?

Deep Sight: This is false. God has never been a reason for anybody's acts of murder. Greed and power in the name of religion rather are.



Reflecting on this only shows that the common denominator (religion) is not the problem. If it were, why do you have category A in your above?



Don't make general claims, produce statistics. Besides if most scientists in Norway for example are agnostic, that would largely be because most of the population is agnostic anyway. Nothing special there.

Deep Sight: ^ ^ ^ Can you show me one single piece of "modern scientific knowledge" which shows you, "logicboy" that God does not exist?

Deep Sight: Atheism does not do this. It rather makes many religionists retreat further and deeper into their faith. The fundamental premise of atheism is a notion that mosts theists will never take seriously, and quite right so.

What rather acheives the above is not atheism, but healthy, open minded criticism which is definitely not militantly or evangelically atheist.

How is this a good thing?

I say with firm certitude to you sir: that there is not one single atheistic argument that rhymes with common sense or accords with science.

Deep Sight: Please do get off your high horse. There is no need to make such sweeping assumptions as this. Your comment suggests that no person who leans towards creationism posesses the attribute of intelligence. History says you are wrong: teh vast majority of the biggest and brightest brains that have graced this planet have been people who believed in God. Indeed most scientific knowledge has been advanced by similar people.

You should not think that beleiving in God makes any person fo.olish. It does not.

OLAADEGBU: The Bible tells us that everything was created by God and nothing evolved. If you read the account of creation in the Bible you will see many historical events concerning the beginning of this world and through the application of science we can confirm that God's account of creation is true. You will see that every creature was given the ability to reproduce after its own kind for instance, dogs only produce dogs and not produce cats neither do cats and dogs produce what is called part cat and part dog together. Dogs began as dogs and still remain dogs even though they may vary in species and this is exactly what we observe in the real world today. God made apes as apes, and man as man. We observe that each creature brings forth after its own kind and that is right thinking. Wrong thinking is to think that man comes from another kind which we do not observe. We are able to confirm all this through good science and logical thinking.

Callotti: Of course we are winning.
We used to be silent. . .but not anymore.
God bless J-America.
Forget Nigeria. . .Animals will have the rights to phock humans before human rights are respected in the whole of Africa kpa-kpa!

Freedom of choice!!!

Deep Sight: Any person who thinks that debates between atheistic positions and theistic positions are about "winning" is a very sorry soul. Such a soul has yet to ponder the poignance of its existence in the first place.

As a dear atheist friend of mine on this forum said [Jayriginal], God cannot be argued into or out of existence. If it exists, no amount of arguments will kill it. If it does not exist, no amount of arguments will create it.

trent9002: + @deep sight, I admire you. You are quite intelligent. Rather than these theists babbling trash here.

Pastor AIO: What I have got from the recent 'debates' on Nairaland is that

1)Atheists (a lot of the ones here at least) are superficial people who just copy and paste arguments that they've read elsewhere without delving any deeper into the subject matter.

2)Religionist (a lot of the ones here at least) are superficial people who just copy and paste from the bible and from bible interpretations that they've read elsewhere without delving any deeper into the subject matter.

Hmmmm . . . and what do the Atheists and the Religionists here have in common that they are so similar in their mode of thinking. Hmmm, they are nigerians. Some of the smartest people I've ever met in my life have been Nigerians, but also without a doubt the most abjectly idiotic people I've met in my life have also been Nigerians. It is a mystery, how opacity and light can be so intricately intertwined within the same gene pool.

Deep Sight: Every known scientific canon leans towards creationism.

OLAADEGBU: What do you understand by biblical creation?

Deep Sight: It surprises me that atheists always say this. The fact that a thing has a scientific explanation is no reason to suppose it uncreated. Everything, anyhow, must needs have a scientifc explanation. That is because everything is natural. That is no reason to suppose material nature to be its own cause.

OLAADEGBU: Creation answers all the logical questions that evolution doesn't and that is right thinking. Have you got anything to contribute to the topic if you think otherwise?

aletheia: They don't need to be slaves for them to get whipped, chained and mutilated.

Your reply is nothing but emotional piffle.

Again I ask you quite succinctly: What is wrong with slavery?

tbaba1234: ^ We can use our brains, talk about Islam and how the existence of God makes sense if you want...

aletheia: What's wrong with slavery? Jesus didn't talk about slavery. . .so what?

Eklektika: @caloti *shaking my head pathetically* u'v gone demented 4 sure.m so sory 4 u.
@ logiqboy,d 'thugster' language appeal iz besides d point.u r simply engagin in logiqal hide n seek.
But seriously,all u atheists dezerve pity.;-(
p.s:y r atheists alwayz dis hostile,violent n virulent in their verbal attaqs?hmm...

musKeeto: You need that advice more than I do...

musKeeto: Me too.

tbaba1234: I see no problem in engaging in discussions with atheists. They have no case anyway. I have reservations about when they insult God or a prophet of God. Whenever that happens i just end the conversation. There are a few atheists here that can't have a decent conversation without insulting someone's beliefs, otherwise if you can articulate your points with an atheist, i see no problem.

brainpulse: I thought you were intelligent. SO GROWTH IS THE SAME THING AS EVOLUTION?

BACTERIA GROWTH IS THE SAME AS EVOLUTION? BACTERIA REACTION TO EXTERNAL CONDITIONS IS YOUR DEFINITION OF EVOLUTION? THEN YOU HAVE WASTED PARENT'S INVESTMENTS

tbaba1234: Israel is western ?? I give up::

musKeeto: Perfect proof that not all atheists are intelligent... just as arrogant and as forceful as the pathetic christians they claim to hate...

tbaba1234: I can't believe someone is trying to justify the statement::

Israel is in europe:

The Pope has no say in european politics at least not nearly as much as it used to be>>>

European slave trade is not a political issue: as least not directly:::

The state of israel does have political ties with Europe that is fine. But Israel is NOT the west.

musKeeto: Have you heard of BRICS? Are all member countries on the same continent? So trade agreements determine what continent you are on politically.. what an argument

They partake in European events cos their Muslims neighbours will not work with them. That doesn't make them politically situated in Europe, infact they're more politically situate 'to use your parlance' in the US than in Europe..
On the other hand, a country like Russia has its capital in Asia, but some parts are also geographically located in Europe.. Would you call them European or Asian?



What does catholicism have to do with Christianity? Was Jesus European? And how does European slave trade relate to Israel?
