@triplechoice.

@your reply to my bold comment
Did I say people did not have the right to react if they feel offended? All I stated was that a long as the offender is not violating your rights and breaking any laws, then no problem. People have the right to react as long as they do not assault or try take away the rights of the offender. It is my right to draw Muhammad on a piece of paper and no Muslim has the right to physically assault me but they have the right to verbally condemn it (because everyone has the right to make their opinion). Ever heard "the freedom of your fist ends at my face"?

@ your second reply
Oh yes I agree with you, the wrong locations are determined by sanitary laws of the country and institutions. In every sane country, wiping your ass with the bible or quran you bought with your money in the privacy of your toilet is your right.

@ your third reply
Wow. So I came across as a psychopath because my truthful posts about human freedom didn't agree with your feelings? Just wow undecided . As I have said, people's sensitivity are not the limit of people's freedom. Christians might as well not eat suya because the Hindus find it sensitive. As far as people's rights are concerned, your personal opinions are irrelevant. SMH.

@ your fourth reply
Of course I am not concerned about the form name callings and criticism take as long as they don't violate human rights. You should have paid attention to where I used the word "subjectively" and meant that what is deemed civilised manner depends on the individual and we know that what you deemed civilised manner doesn't matter as long as human rights are concerned.
It's fine not to bother about religious hypocrites/moderate and arguing against religion but those that want to have the right to and I maintain my stance that those that believe religious claims are foolish in the aspect of religion. *sighs*

@ your fifth response
Your reply proves what I suspected about you, a lover of happiness even at the expense of reason. Of what relevance is what you have dealt with, when it comes to religion, to the validity of religious claims? As I have said, people with great mental fortitude and apt reasoning accept reality however harsh it is but you don't come across as one with great mental fortitude and apt reasoning because I don't see how religious people living happier and healthier lives proves anything. A weakling prefers pleasant ignorance to harsh truths. Besides, I know miserable religious folks and I know happy atheists.

@your sixth response
As I have said, rather a harsh truth than a comforting lie. If lying to myself will bring me happiness then that happiness is not worth it. I am not a weakling. We atheists are not trying to force people to accept atheism, all we do is deconstruct absurd religious argument and call things the way they are. There are certain levels of stupid that don't require pampering rather they require harsh bashing. If people want to enjoy their lie, let them. It's also not right to let people live a lie, lies must be pointed out as soon as possible though I agree with you that it's best to employ an educative approach.
Though people deliberately use religion as a cover to perpetrate evil but it doesn't change the fact that religion inspires men to do stupid and wicked things. That's a fact.

@last
I agree with you. True happiness doesn't come from lies neither does it lead to lies.

You do not believe He exists yet you asked how dare one prove God's existence from human perspective. And you listed some attributes like: omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Again, in your final sentence which I highlighted in bolded letters, you want Him to proof Himself according to the Bible. First, you will need to show clearly where all these attributes are in the Bible. I see that you are just making opinions of your own. And let me state all the opinions you have made:

1. Devil does not exist
2. God is a Supreme being and no one dare proof Him from human perspective (i wonder if it is in the supernatural view we have to prove His existence..lol)
3. God has attributes in the Bible. (No references made to support your claims)
4. God is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. Hmmm. And yet you said you do not believe in any religious god (very contradictory)
5. You mentioned Yahweh. Who is Yahweh? (Don't you know how to introduce terms? Kinda mixing up many things here).
6. You mentioned miracles. Where do miracles fit in? Prove you exist, devil does not exist, and you are talking about miracles. (Confusion) grin

In fact, there is confusion in everything you have written. Just to proof that devil does not exist you moved to God to Yahweh, to what else again. And not a single reference.

It is why I asked you the basic question: Could you prove you exist?

See, I am not going to continue with you again because you have proved nothing. You are making your opinions which you are etitiled to. And no one will ever beat you over them. If you say devil does not exist, fine with you.

I hope to read from the other guy since you do not even know how to separate facts from opinions.

I respect your opinons and I wish you luck with them. When you can bring out facts with references, then, I will respond to you again. Even nairaland will pull down opinions without references. This is what we call #FakeNews

Best of luck with your numerous opinions.
I am very sorry, it's my fault that I engaged you in the place, forgive me. Bye. grin

Hmmm. From your response, you really do not get where I am going. I said I have not taking a position.

You have tried justifying your existence that you only a living being can type on nairaland. Hmmmm. Quite
interesting.

Now, since only a living being can type on nairaland, can God type on nairaland? Has he ever typed on nairaland? Ok. You might have to say God exists or does not exist. And if He exists can He read your mind too? Or is it only what you write on nairaland He reads? And is it just what you say that He responds to?

Look at the bolded words again. It will not prevent me from asking you the upper paragraph. Actually, I was not going to use the route but your response made me actually to go that route. See, it shows you believe in a supreme being.

If you believe in a supreme being, show how God is different from human. And proof that He exists if He cannot still write on nairaland.

Please, do not forget it is devil's existence we are talking about here.

Thanks!
I don't believe in any religious god, you didn't read the part where I said "..., from a christian perspective,..." . You don't use the standard of proving a human to prove the existence of the supposedly Christian god of the universe. Given yahweh's attributes in the bible, it's either there is a clear cut evidence or none at all because given his attributes, a clear cut evidence is not too much to ask. For yahweh, if he exists, the standard of proof is high. The same can't be said of certain humans that lived many years ago.

If yahweh types on nairaland, does that prove anything? Does typing on nairaland proves that one created the universe? Does typing on nairaland also proves that he can perform miracles? undecided the only way I would know if yahweh reads mind is if I test him, how else? If yahweh ever uses Nairaland, I would know what he respond to by seeing the posts he makes or by him stating outrightly what he responds to. If he exists, he must live up to all his attributes given in the bible.

Interesting!

Let me test your sense of reasoning. Prove to me that you exist.

I have not said I agree or disagree with you. I just need you to show you understand yourself before making a confirmatory statement like the one above. Then after, I can take a position. Not arguing with you, but just prove your case.
I know where you are going, you want to demonstrate that it's okay to believe in something without proof or evidence. If I didn't exist I won't be typing and responding to your post. No bot on nairaland can intelligently construct my original write ups in my topics and post. My identity is what I can't reveal.

Besides, from a christian perspective, how dare you compare proving God's and a human's existence? Given that God is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and wants me to be saved, asking for proof of his existence is not too much to ask unlike how you guys are putting it to be. If God, with all his attributes can't do something so simple as proving himself, then it's out of place to believe in him. You might as well ask me how I know my brain exists. grin

Have you ever seen some men who got married when they didn't have enough money but later became very rich?
Have you also seen some men who got married as rich men but later become very poor?
This world we are living is very unpredictable, so I can't understand why money, and not potentials should be the most important thing that draws you to a man.
Have you seen some men who got married when they didn't have enough money but they still were poor?
Have you seen some rich men that got married as rich and later were still rich? You seem to forget these cases because they don't fit your narrative.
If you like have the greatest moral compass, character, attitude and integrity, it still wouldn't change the fact that girls consider money above these. If you like don't go and make money. Girls are smart enough to know that integrity, good character and moral uprightness won't pay the bills. I know there are gold diggers but no sensible and good lady would want to bring a child into the world to suffer all in the name of foolishness love. If you are broke as fvck but have good character and moral uprightness, forget it.

Christianity EtcRe: Pastor David Elijah's Experience, A Proof That Christians Know God Aint Real by Martinez19(m): 4:00pm On Sep 19, 2018
HardMirror:
I have always said it that even christians know that prayers are just ceremonial, they would mock anyone who makes any ridiculous claims about their god.

A young man died in Ede, osun state many years ago. He was bitte'n by a venomous snake, instead of going to the hospital, he went to the church instead. He dead there in church after a day.
It was shocking to hear many christians call the man a fool. They all lambast the man for being so foolish not to go to the hospital. Frm this experience i learned that christians know that god does not answer prayers. Else why condemn a man for believing in god whom you claim to be the greatest healer?


Today this thread graces the front page of nairaland.com https://www.nairaland.com/4718991/pastor-david-elijah-attacked-assassins a story of a pastor that was supposedly shot severally and yet suffered no injury. Again Christians flood the thread to call the man a scammer .
Moderate christians are not driven by the desire to understand what the bible really says but by convenience. They want to believe in God and be convenient to enjoy life. That's why they ONLY pick the nice and convenient parts of the bible and add their add extra non-biblical additions. These extra non-biblical additions create convenience(most importantly) and resolves their cognitive dissonance. They know christianity is bullshit but, for some reason, want to believe in God.

Notice the following non-biblical additions and see how it reflects a hypocritical mind seeking convenience :
1) God help those who help themselves : they don't want to admit that with or without god, you must work. They still want to find a way imply that god, in way, helps man and to him be the glory for their success when, in fact, it could have happened without God.
2) God has finished creations and has done all he can so it is let for us to live our lives : I wonder when yahweh became a deistic god. grin They subconsciously understand that man is on his own and no god cares but they don't want to admit it.
3) All religions preach peace and are different ways to the same god : Ignorance or dishonesty at work here. They know the bigotry of religion is bad but they live in denial of it using this explanation. They don't want to face it and disrupt social concord. grin
4) God is not a magician : an excuse to handle their disbelief in the miraculous even when the bible supports praying for miraculous happenings.
5) add yours. grin

So all in all it's two things :
1) they know it bullshit but want to believe.
2) they want to be convenient as they believe.

I do not think it is civilise behavior to buy a religious book and use it to wipe your anus . It is barbaric and very crude . The abrasive nature of the paper might leave some tear which makes it easy for infection to happen
I am neither an atheist nor a religious person so I understand how it feels when some religious people try to control your behavior because they assume they know what is right for you. As a civilise person you should not respond by disparaging what they believe in even if it seems illogical to you or calling them idiots,stupid, brainless
I think the correct thing is to act in a way that will make the religious person to want find out what keeps you going even when you don't think like them
So Incase you already bought a Bible or the Koran you intend to wipe your anus with,please change your mind and give it out to a neighbor who is either a Christian or Muslim tomorrow morning and see how you are going to bring happiness to somebody s life
We all seek happiness the reason most people search for it in a religion

It is not logically advisable to use hard paper to wipe one's butt but people have the right to do so. My topic is not about what you deem civilised or not, it's about people's rights.

It might be barbaric and crude but do they have the right to use hard paper to wipe their ass? Yes! And they shouldn't be forced to do otherwise or be punished for doing so. The rights are the only focus of my topic.

@green
Lol grin who asked you? The consequences of their choices is their's to bear if they want to wipe their ass with hard paper. They have the right to wipe their ass with hard paper. Their right to do so, not consequences of doing so, is the only focus of my topic.

@blue
It's not uncivilised to insult and ridicule ideas neither is it uncivilised to call people names. The manner, subjectively, is what determines if it's uncivilised or not. Given the rot which religion has, is and will descend on humanity, it's alright and deserving of religion to have insults and ridicule come it's way.
People love feeling good about themselves but the truth must be told. People who believe in religious claims are being foolish and stupid as far that aspect is concerned and it's not uncivilised to point that out. That's the truth.

@purple
Hmm. Are you the weak minded type that shivers at harsh reality and therefore will seeks solace in something(lies or truth) as long as it brings comfort? If you are like that, you have to toughen up for your own good. The correct response to absurd garbages like religion should be a critical scrutiny and analysis of it's claims, debunking where necessary and calling it for what it is. You don't take an idea as valid or respect it simply because it helps you cope--- that's weak mindedness.

@brown
Oh I see. Happiness of others is more important than the truth, right? By the way, I won't fuel the delusions that has torn mankind apart by giving people tools(bible and quran) to help submerge themselves further in these delusions. It's in the best interest of humanity. Truth is more important than happiness. Truth ensures man takes a realistic outlook and approach to life and taking a realistic outlook and approach to life not only ensures our survival and puts us out of harms way, it ensures an increase in the quality of life(I won't go into details).

@last remark
If happiness leads to lies and ignorance of truth then it's not worth it. This is true and it's in the best interest of the individual and society.

True, when you mock religion and call it for what it is, people try to tell you to stop that because "these are sensitive issues to many people" and "people should respect the beliefs of others."

Even some atheists and agnostics have fallen for these. Any restrictions of people's free speech and freedom of expression in a secular society must be vehemently fought against.
