I am NOT an atheist, I am not even an Agnostic....
I just don't like the way religion is being practised in this corner of the world.
I believe in God and I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Savior ( But that's where it ends)

Brymo:
thank God.

Johnnoo:
In my opinion, this is non of your business. Peoples way of religion shouldn't be your yardstick. Just hold on to what you believe

johnydon22:
Thats where it starts..

Believing in God & confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Personal Savior, does not end there nor is the point an end or finishing line

Exactly, the light-bulb moment, from when or where it lights up, realisation sets in that Jesus did not come to start a religion
It starts when realising that true religion that pleases God, which He accepts as pure & faultless is that clued from James 1:27

This was an old thread... I am proudly an agnostic atheist now (humanism is my opinion) planet earth is my church, fellow humans are my parishes... hope you get it now ... anyway click the link below and read my story..

Ifeann:
Lol..
That ur post was from Oct last year. ..u were ready to defend ur Catholic faith..

I always knew u were new to the atheist fold...

Didnt even take note of the date that the original thread was from October 2014
No wonder I briefly doubted the legitimacy of the thread and its title as it originated from OP

Agnostic atheist, right, a combo, must be insatiable
If you're unable to hang and air the dirty linen here, doubt anyone is going to click on any link put here or elsewhere to read your story
There is always coming to oneself and returning back after the prodigal, rebellion and wilderness experience

u takin our comments personal

Tallesty1 is a troublemaker

Nothing out of place in any of the faces made,
It started with one, which was countered, doubled up and countered again, then Armageddon
Was amused watching Tallesty1 out of character or was it his alter ego, doing a rambo with an AK-47 and later with a chain-saw dramatically trying to annihilate someone.

I hate to do this but where do you think this will lead you?
......three-headed gods theory that you can't defend the silly thing even got lipsticks
https://s17.postimg.org/ttjw4xyqz/3god.jpg

Can only see one head with three faces on it, not a three-headed being like you are making out

It will be interesting to know who fed you that diet that God is three-headed
and why you chose that picture to depict and mock Him with your contemptuous remark

If cherubims can have four faces, God must be slacking in keeping up and lagging behind with three
What is a "three-headed gods theory" anyway?

standd:
Lol
Unbelievable! So you created a counter thread cos you are riled. *shakes head in wonderment*
Anyway, you are human with emotions so you should be riled whenever you want. But pls know that all your feelings( every one of them) has nothing to do with me.
Btw, what will your being riled achieve? Will it stop the next 'pastor' from sleeping with his church member (Hey! Have you heard of COZA)?
Will your being riled stop an armed robber from taking his loot to church to sow seeds?
Will it stop the terrorists from strapping bombs on the next teenage girl?
Or ISIS from beheading people because they claim they are fighting for God.

You have a right to be riled but not at me, last I checked, I did not create any religion.
Btw, why standd? This is my first post in this section
I can not air my opinion anymore? Huh.

Tallesty1:
Not because I was riled but because your were wrong and should be corrected.
Neither will your post stop good preachers for preaching the good news and helping the poor, the sick, the needy etc Nope, have you heard of Pastor Godwin of God's Anointed.
Neither will your post stop the conscienceless atheist from committing terrible crimes
Not at once but all those will stop when the minds of your likes are corrected and the true form of Christianity is preached.

The stop creating threads on religion until you understand them.
You can air your opinion a million times in a second if you wish you to but gotta endeavor to be right and accept corrections when you are wrong.

Saying you were "riled" is a misnomer, as I dont think you were angry or annoyed at all
Loved your post correcting the inaccurate information on https://www.nairaland.com/2171113/proof-women-created-first-before#31156464
you have won extra brownie points now with your post on this thread too. Good man

Found your spat with ggrin, machine gunning him down and blood splattering chopping him up disturbing though
What was all that dark side of you, losing it for a moment with ggrin all about?

johnydon22:
This trend is for fellow catholics, ask questions of what you do not understand in the catholic doctrine and i will answer.
i.e: Any other person can also help and answer a question they know

Why and what was the rationale behind moving the day of rest from the seventh day of the week to the first day of the week?
Who, precisely sanctioned this move?
When, where and how exactly, after the death of Christ, was this move sanctioned?
Under what authority (e.g. whether it was based on bible or not) was this move carried out?

...

Why did Ustauz Yusuf have to say the 1st caller, obviously an elder, has no manners or had no home training lessons

Why is Ustauz Yusuf particularly concerned if the 2nd caller is a pastor, a prophet or what church the caller fellowships in

Why did Ustauz Yusuf at 12:40 had to say the 2nd caller is stewpid or silly (i.e. ani e go)
and insinuating at 13:09 - 13:15 that the 2nd caller is an animal that doesnt want to listen

Why did at 22:12 - 22:43, 24:05, 24:25-24:31 Ustauz Yusuf had to say "this is what is called a demonstration of madness" and " definition of madness" at the 2nd caller's prayers

The 3rd caller was a drive-by "christian", an Islam returnee, returning back to Islam

Concerning Boko Haram raised by 3rd caller at 27.24- 27.26,
Ustauz Yusuf at 27:34- 27:41 asked the 3rd caller whether or not Boko Haram kills muslims and non muslims at all

Also at 28:00 - 28:16 Ustauz Yusuf wanted to know of any cases of Muslims killing Christian in Yoruba land in the name of Islam

but Ustauz Yusuf, unwittingly at 27:41, actually was about confirming truthman2012's submission that if going by Bukhari (60:80) and Bukhari (59:643), Yorubas like Ustauz Yusuf and the 3rd caller have no place to be in Islam

Truth be told, this guy, Ustauz Yusuf, is a smooth talker/operator...
+ mixing up Americans waging war against terrorism etc, Delta militants fighting against environmental pollution, oppression etc with Religion (i.e. ''esin'')
+ mixing up Judaism with Christianity
+ mixing up Christian RELIGION with the Christian FAITH & LOVE
+ mentioning bible verses is not the same as understanding the religious system etc prevailing at the particular time of those bible verses
+ mixing up a christian's alleged claim to commit atrocities with muslims actually committing atrocities
+ claiming to judge the Bible on its words or content but evasive to judge the Quran on its word or content
+ claimed to not force any to Islam but Sahih Muslim (1:33) and Bukhari (60:80) says otherwise
+ how is it that the last prophet and the Quran have some many socially unacceptable baggages taken advantage of in the 21 century?
+ distorting baptisms to 3rd caller, gave a misleading or false impression that it is an opportunity to caress women SMH LOL

The 3rd caller should have counter asked Ustauz Yusuf how many Christians in the 21st century,
shout Praise the Lord, the Lord is Good when killing harmless people or when about decimating innocent people

Depicting the 3rd and 4th callers and dedicating it to both, is this "pic of the thread" below

I see you're someone who just likes wahala.

No, not someone who just likes wahala but someone whose observant eyes took in a detail of blood stained sleeve after a church crime incident

GlorifiedTunde:
You're the kind of person who deludes yourself that we could live in a perfect system. It is obvious you like to drag matters all in the name of proving points that are not analytical or logical enough considering the surrounding circumstances and environment.

Considering the hypocrisy and behavior that did not agree with all that Christian faith and love is about caused some anxiety

GlorifiedTunde:
I have not told you anyone was wrong beating that thief,... that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. If you like go and shoplift in Oshodi and wait to be arraigned before the magistrate. E be like say na France you dey.

You are right an illegal corporal punishment at a church set-up is right and better than getting an Aluu 4 treatment for shoplifting in Oshodi

GlorifiedTunde:
@ Impunity, pardon my English; I meant effrontery

Well, if that's the case, suppose that Akingbola and co must be big league grandstand effrontery then

GlorifiedTunde:
@ Akingbola and co, what's someone's stolen iPad got to do with that? You're just somehow So because Erastus and co stole money and were not handled properly, it gives a thief the license to steal my property in Church? I really don't get your intended similitude.

The comparison between the two, simply, is that, Akingbola and co were not beaten unlike this man who was

GlorifiedTunde:
@ light of the world, what exactly has the Church done wrong now? Ehn?! Fault finder! You must be a perfect soul abi?

The church missed the mark the moment the man got roughened up a bit on their premises
and the issue made worse with statements like:
"Yes. He was beaten by the security operatives who caught him in his house - he had bruises, so what?"

GlorifiedTunde:
Mr man, thief stole - thief caught - police apprehend thief - Full STOP!!!

You forgot to add, he got beaten up.
The cartoon below epitomizes the "intended similitude" problems

GlorifiedTunde:
Its people like you who just like making a big issue out of nothing. I can boldly tell you he was not mobbed at all, he was brought to the Church in a truck and kept away from people before the police arrived. The police wanted to start instant beating but were stopped by the security operatives.

The security operatives are the Church security, made up of men from different security agencies.

He was beaten, I'm sure - and that cannot be avoided because of the impunity he displayed.
Even when a child steals, his parents flog him for correction here in Africa.

But I'm assuring you he was well treated than usual. Dunno what the police would have done to him now sha.

I admire your honesty and admittance that he was illegally metted corporal punishment before arraignment before a magistrate or judge.
Also thank God the security operatives stopped the police from unleashing their worst on him

I ask it only out of curiosity, what "the impunity did he display"?. Please explain how he displayed the impunity.

How much is an ipad compared with a N47.5billion theft charge or fraud and order to hand over $1.2billion in cash and assets.
How many hands were laid on Erastus Akingbola or Cecilia Ibru?

The church to be a light to the world and behaviorally lead by setting examples, for instance of not taking the law into their hands, is part of the welcoming change we passionately look forward to in the land

Misogynist2014:
You have done yourself a great disadvantage by calling such a good match, mismatch.
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. John 7:32. Hope you enjoy your life as atheist, enjoy and living your life without hope. The purpose of writing this is not to discourage people from using the phone (for everything was made by him),
neither is it to cajole atheists. My purpose is that Christians reading this may strengthen their faith.

Let's jolt your memory

☻ Does this lady know that the Apple CEO, Tim Cook is a gay?
☻ Looking sternly at the gadget again, my thought went to the apple, looking at it, it looked as if it had been bitten by a person, male or female.
☻ We know that the fruit eaten in the garden, though not known is represented by an apple.
☻ Could the Apple Inc logo be a satanic symbol?

You started with the "Tim Cook is a gay" homophobia, then toyed with the misinformation about "the fruit eaten in the garden to be an apple" before climaxing with your "could the Apple Inc logo be a satanic symbol" pièce de résistance

See how you have shifted the goal post from the obvious and original "purpose of writing to discourage people from using the phone"
to "My purpose is that Christians reading this may strengthen their faith"
I doff my hat to you. Well done... note though that, everyday is for the thief, one day is for the Owner https://s17.postimg.org/c7cmi1tm3/applause.gif

Those who think they know something still have a lot to learn. 1 Corinthians 8:2

Keep on with regurgitating pseudo-intellectual & throwing up unrelated scriptural quotes,

johnydon22:
christains finding absurd things where their is none since AD 00..

fabricating stories since AD000 now scaring the shiiit out of themselves with such primitive absurd fabrications..

If the Apple Inc logo is a satanic symbol, then placing Song of Solomon 2:3 side by side turns everything into an oxymoron

Song of Solomon 2:3 - As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste.

Fruit eaten in the garden is not represented as an apple by christians worth their salt

Wuru-wuru-to-the-answer, mago-mago, padi-padi, arrangee fabrications indeed and unnecessary scaremongering

Misogynist2014:
When entrepreneurs Jobs and Wozniak first marketed their earliest, crude personal computer, they put a price tag of $666 on the product. Does that sound familiar? Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. Yes computer is Good, does that mean its not bad too? No weapon of New World Order like the computer, here are other disadvantages of 'computer'
http://james.hamsterrepublic.com/technomancy/

http://www.lhvc.com/index.php/columns/73-why-computers-are-evil

Why peddle half truths and cheap sensationalism,
What have you done with the 66 cents
https://s14.postimg.org/d2go8bevh/m_laugh.gif

'Steve Wozniak designed the Apple 1 computer, the first fully assembled computer kit, in 1976 and Steve Jobs took on the task of selling it.

'In Jobs' parents garage the pair built 200 Apple machines and sold 50 to a computer shop called Byte.

WHY DID IT COST $666.66?
The eye-catching price-tag of the original Apple caused wild speculation as to the reasons behind selling for $666 - the number of the Devil.

But the number was classic Apple; it was design for the sake of it. Beauty for no reason other than because it looked nice.

Steve Wozinak once revealed: 'I simply like triple digit numbers with all the things I'm involved with. The cost of making the Apple 1 was around $540 or there about and we agreed on the best markup, retail price above the cost of building it, which worked out to $666.

'Jobs then tacked on the 66 cents to make it an eye-catcher price for the ads with the sale and promotion publications of it to the public.'

Yes. He was beaten by the security operatives who caught him in his house - he had bruises, so what?

Please be more specific by clearly identifying who the so called "security operatives" are that you claimed or alleged beat him up after catching him in his house.
Also what does "he had bruises, so what?" mean or imply
Does it mean "It's not important he was beaten up"
or implies "You don't care he has bruises from getting beaten up"
- just checking

Misogynist2014:
About 6 months ago, I watched CNN, they showed the life history of Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple Inc, then I saw their logo, their apple logo. A thought came to my mind, I thought, if you are called Apple, why is your apple logo not complete? But I neglected it and didn't give it a thought anymore.
This Sunday, in the church, a lady brought out an apple phone to film the pastor, then I thought in my mind that,
Does this lady know that the Apple CEO, Tim Cook is a gay?

One thing you would have missed out on, if gay men or women didn't exist in our society - Computer
You wouldn’t have been able to type your post or read this one on your PC/laptop/phone because the father of modern computer science, Alan Turing, was gay

His idea was for a device that would read and write symbols on a tape – effectively a programmable computer

In 1952 his homosexuality was discovered and he was offered the choice of prison or "chemical castration".
He chose the latter but it is thought to have led him to take his own life, EATING an APPLE dipped in cyanide, in 1954.

The father of modern computer science took a bite from an apple, what an unfortunate stroke of serendipity.
- guess thats how and why Steve Jobs served the eaten apple logo master stroke for his computers etc

Interesting, seems the visible shirt sleeve is bloodstained
Wonder how that came about
