Prince2012: like u care. Pity u...

Logicboy03: You do realise that he was specificaly talking about ridiculous beliefs?


He has said nothing different to what Sam Harris said about people believing in Elvis vs Religious beliefs when debating Rabbi Wolpe.

clean2: mr pagan 9ja ,i want to make this call to you as a brother who sees his beloved brother playing wiith death and goes after him to caution and rescue him. you are really toying with eternal damnation in hell fire as you go ahead working assiduosly for satan to mislead souls for the cursed beast. God your creator who made you in his own image and likeness loves you and doesnt want you to perish with satan. satan may be providing you with the basic comfort of life to give you a message of false hope for you to continue serving Him but i tell you when you die satan is going to laugh at you and torment you so severely for ever that you will regret the day you were born. you still have ample chance to repent and be saved through Jesus christ.

Logicboy03: lol.....for saying that we should mock ridiculous beliefs? Terrorist is not a word one should throw around lightly


Did you watch the video

Ortarico: I don't blame you as it is said salvation is personal in respect to the event of the shewing of our LORD JESUS CHRIST to Saul (Paul) in the BIBLE. His followers were also privileged to experience the illumination yet chosed to reject.
You say we're brainwashed, thank you. For it's better to be like an infant than to engage in pseudo- science of this wicked & obstinate generation of the world than to curse the Almighty and omniscience GOD!

musKeeto: Heeehee.. coming from you, I'm pleasantly surprised..

kufre2010: Remember Jesus was a Nazarite so Jesus was a black man with long locks and not a picture that was paint by a Roman painter that they presented to us.

nnachichi: wow!!!u definitely dont knw wat u'r talking abt fella.U had beta repentd.

striktlymi: 1. I don't know in what sense you used the word "person" but when you talk about someone being elusive it does not imply that the individual does not exist. 'Elusiveness' and non-existence are two different things.



2. I agree with the above but suppose I stop posting on nairaland would that imply that I am dead? Even if I am dead there is no objective way of youu proving that. The best you can do is say that I have stopped posting on nairaland and no more. In the same way science cannot make an objective conclusion about the existence or non-existence of God hence science is silent on that matter.



3. The funny thing is that there have been lots of updates but some people have chosen to neglect them.

musKeeto: Lol, atheism's a religion, one without a God, just like buddhism

Bidam: delusions of grandeur

Bidam: can you create life?

striktlymi: Reserved!

striktlymi: The above does not prove that God does not exist. It only asserts that if one can hold that God exists without a scientific evidence then another can disprove it without evidence too.

We are still saying same thing! If you are asserting that God does not exist without a scientific evidence I can equally disprove this without making recourse to the scientific process.

PS: I have reasoned with Chris and I say it goes both ways!

Logicboy03: You are dreaming. I have written 2 front page worthy threads and submitted them. None made front page.

However "the cowardice of atheism" made front page quickly.

Maybe I will make a thread "the cowardice of christianity"

Bidam: point of correction..miracles are not fringe experiences...they are daily occurences.

striktlymi: PS: There is no scientific evidence that God does not exist.

The Girl: I know that I have not been posting on here as much as I did last year, so I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you on how becoming an atheist has truly had a positive impact on my life.

When I first came to this forum last summer, I was in crisis. Due to my deconversion, I found myself in the middle of a deep depression where I would drag myself through my day, and I had such a hard time getting much sleep. You guys were here for me. The members of my (former) megachurch had convinced me that life away from Christ was desolate, empty agony. I even believed at one point that I would rather die than give up God. However, upon conversing with some of you, I realized that it was possible to live a fulfilling life without any kind of god at the center of it.

Today, I am a much healthier person, physically and psychologically. I lost 10 lbs (yay!) because I was able to stop abusing my body from eating too much junk food (as a Christian I had thought that only the afterlife truly matters). I was able to deal with my depression and anxiety (runs in my family, and was triggered by childhood abuse that I suffered) without any medication anymore by taking control of my own life. No longer did I have to deal with the intense pressures and worries of trying to fit into the mold of "God's plan" or "God's will," so I was able to just be myself and figure out how to be comfortable in my own skin. I realized that although I love taking care of my husband and son at home, that I did not have to limit myself just because I am female, so I went back to school.

In retrospect, I realize how much Christianity truly hurt me throughout my childhood and early adulthood. It limits your potential to grow emotionally, intellectually and socially as a human being due to its prejudices and traditions. Atheism did not turn me into a devil-worshipping, baby-eating witch. Honestly, I have more mental clarity as an atheist than I ever did as a Christian.

I think the world would be a much more loving and fair place if there were less religion in it. Although I have reached a point where I am not angry at Christians or threatened by them unless they get in my face, I do think that, ironically, the words of Jesus actually apply to them: "they know not what they do." A Christian has to cherry-pick Bible verses and be (at least somewhat willfully) ignorant of ones that do not make sense in the real world. That being said, I do generally have compassion for them (unless they pick a fight or do something outrageous or unfair) because they are like fearful children clinging to their belief in Santa Claus. I do not say that in spite, because I feel a great sense of peace regarding my deconversion, and my bitterness toward Christians has faded. I will, however, express my disgust for that fictional character called "God," and anyone who does terrible things in his name.

striktlymi: You would be surprised to know that I agree with him 100%. It works both ways! Any one who asserts that God does not exist without scientific evidence should have his assertions disproved without going through the scientific process.

Both boils down to faith! The non-theist have faith that God does not exist while the Theist have faith that he does exist. Looks to me like a stale mate!

Deep Sight: I speak specifically of prayers of petition: wherein the praying persons request x or y help, act, rescue or favour from God.

Is such divine intervention consistent with the notion of a perfect God?
