You are still not getting the point. That the "Fall of the first humans" is seen as a metaphor by some people doesnt negate the fact that human beings are inherently evil. So what is your solution to that evil

How do we atone for the billions of sins that are being committed right now?

FrLukas:
Your mistake is associating the existence of a Divine Being with a particular religion.

The Creator of all that exists is not a Christian God, neither is He a Moslem God.

Once you understand that, you will realize that your first and primary duty on earth is to search for the Truth and not loyalty to a particular religion or sect.

Our forefathers before Islam and Christianity were not atheists. Atheism is alien to human culture. We have to get rid of Islam and Christianity and go back to the old gentleman God of our ancestors via IFA.

Everything God did in the Old Testament is a POINTER to what was to happen in the FUTURE. From the story of Noah to ur citation was done as a WARNING to generations to come. And, like I cited in my post earlier, all who had been b4 Christ was given an equal opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ wen He went hell for 3 days. God is just.

Jidebabs88:
Ever since Lucifer's misdeed, evil existed. Evil is opposite God WHO IS HOLY.
So, who placed it there? God did! He didn't deny evil wasn't there, yet, our God didn't create a 'remoted toy' but a being that had a chance to choose consciously either to obey God or see something order than God (evil).

Jidebabs88:
God didn't create evil. Check creation story in the book of Genesis, everything He created was good. The first man Adam was the general overseer of God's creation. GOD IS IN LOVE WITH MAN His own creation. So, the rebel, the devil sort to adulterate all what God had done, he did that through Adam, DECEIVING him about God's credibility. Adam lost it!
God had other plan, He sent another Adam (JESUS) (1Cor. 15 : 21-22, 45 & 47) not through the seed of the first Adam but through HIS OWN seed to restore what man had lost, paid for man's sins and give man a hope someday to exit darkness into immortal light with Him.
The gospel is simple my brother, God didn't send Jesus to end life's transient troubles but to give peace even in the midst if the trouble. (Jn 16:33) God didn't allow Jesus to go through pains to end the world's pain, but ONLY to all who believes has a hope to he comforted. God didn't separate from His only BEGOTTEN Son to prove a POINT to the devil sir, He did it that WE ALL CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE even in this world and world after.

I av so much to say from the Bible but let me just end with ur last point. Do u know Jesus spent three days in Hell? Do u know all who never had the gospel were preached to? Even from Noah's time? (1 Pet 3 : 18 - 20). Do u know that the WORLD won't com to an end until God realizes everyone, every tribe, every nation has a chance to hear about JESUS?

Their might be more than what you've been thinking. God bless you!

Seun just won a soul..

Mission accomplished..

Nairaland agenda is working...

.. .. ..

Let me say you are not a true African... If you are tired of Islamic or Christian religion..

Why not become an African traditional worshipper..?? That is the religion that your forefather had.. You can re ignite that!!

Becoming an atheist, as an African, is joining a bandwagon!!!

Don't allow Seun to deceive you..

Being an atheist means, you have no faith! A faithless man, is an empty man!!!

MJBOLT:

all these christians are fvcking dumb,they claim something cannot come from nothing that everything has a creator but their supposed god came from nothing and has no creator

It's glad to see some people are coming to their senses!

musicwriter:
The assumption that the bible is an authority on God is your No.1 problem. The bible is a European conceptualization of God but God itself has nothing to do with that.

Before you begin your journey to undersranding God, you must first shed yourself of the misconception of the bible or any other so called holy book as an authority on God. Believe it or not, you're already subconsciously doing so. And once you've completed the process, you'll eventually discover God on your own. You'll eventually realize that God is not and cannot be in any book or religion.

God has nothing to do with religion!!.

englishmart:
1.Jesus is the only way to God, John 14:6
This invariably means those who don't believe in Jesus have no business in heaven.
Christians worldwide have an estimated population of 2.4billion people
Islam records an estimate of 1.9 billion adherents, Hindu has an estimated 1.1bn adherents. The remaining world's population have their own beliefs which includes atheism.
If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so.

2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess."
Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe)
Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions.

3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead?
I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue.
I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence.
I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family.

4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most.
The 1933 Holocaust and mass murder of Jews to the tone of 6m was a clear indication that God turns His eyes against His people

I like exposed female bodies as much as the next man but when it is the only thing men associate you with and not your talent it becomes a problem. I can't remember the last nice song she released.

I am not here to defend government oh....

I know APC has failed.....

But let's not forget

UAE produces 2.5 million barrels per day , and shares the revenue among 11 million people
Nigeria produces 2.2 million barrels per day, and shares the revenue among 200million people.

So for Nigeria to be like UAE

Either our population goes down to less than 10 million OR

We pursure polices that get us off dependency on oil......

Simples.

It's not always about money.

Most times, when you're good, people see beyond your looks.
