This is what I was trying to say, the world started from something and not nothing, nonexistence couldn't start our world, this something is God.

And how did god start?

If you present atheism to your kids in a bad light, they will actually learn about it in a good light somewhere else. Then you will become a liar, and they will become atheists.

Tell them them the simple fact - absence of knowledge is the presence of faith.

Faith is the aberration of reason, atheism is rationality.

Are You A Muslim?
"I believe that there no god/God but Allah."
"I believe that Muhammad is God's Holy Prophet."
"I believe that Islam is the Only True Religion."
"lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, muhammadun rasūlu-llāh."

(The above declaration will be posted on your profile if you click "yes"

Seriously? Seun, this is what I must accept before I can post on the Islam section of Nairaland?

This is way out of ordinary. Are you sure you still run Nairaland, or does boko haram run things here?

Anyone who dreams or prophesizes anything that is against God, or anyone who tries to turn you from God, is to be put to death. (Deuteronomy 13:5)

If anyone, even your own family suggests worshipping another God,[b] kill them. (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)

If you find out a city worships a different god, destroy the city and kill all of it's inhabitants... even the animals. (Deuteronomy 13:12-15) LOL

Kill anyone with a different religion. (Deuteronomy 17:2-7)."

scary

Longstride:
let me get this straight...
Solomon had supernatural wisdom.

Solomon had first hand contact with god..god even gave him a gift of hundred extra IQ points. ...so he definitely knew god existed and was the most high.

Finally, Solomon with all his wisdom, turns away from god and worships idols.

Even the dumbest person should see that something is very off here

True. Solomon kind of influenced my thought, I must admit.

Ifeann:


Do you notice how often SEX, WOMEN, SLAVE, CAPTIVE, FIGHT, SWORD, SLAY, PUNISH, REWARD, appears in your Qu'ran and hadiths.. Please think about it. Get a bible start from Mathew, mark, Luke and John (the new covenant we live under) and see if you see such.

Let him actually start from the beginning - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy and let see if he won't see such.

Solomon died an agnostic.

OLAADEGBU:

We should treat the Book of Enoch (and the other books like it) in the same manner we do the other Apocryphal writings. Some of what the Apocrypha says is true and correct, but at the same time, much of it is false and historically inaccurate. If you read these books, you have to treat them as interesting but fallible historical documents, not as the inspired, authoritative Word of God.

Who determines which particular book is god inspired and which is fallible?

Thugnificent:
Atheism is the disbelief in the existence of DEITIES, no? but your grouse is always about the Christian God/Christianity, why?

All gods are the same. Destroy one, you destroy all.

Besides I was a Christian before I became an atheist, so I only know about the Christian god. I don't have a say on alla for instance, because I was never a muslim. Ok?

malvisguy212:
darwin invented the theory of evolution , saying. Man evolve from ape,darwin was not there when all this happen,don't you evolution is a belief just like religion but the only difference is 'faith'?

To begin with, Darwin did not "invent" evolution, rather, he gave the first precise and complete explanation in one volume.
Before him, people of various fields have always had their philosophy of unintelligent design, but he [Darwin] kind of compiled it. This is why he is credited with the modern evolution theory.
He didn't even coin the term "survival of the fittest", Wallace did that.

Back to point, Darwin surmised that organismal similarities show ancestral similarity. So, though we were not there when every single gene was getting mutated to form human, we can actually look into other animals, and know that we are similar.

Darwin published this before genetic information became available, and after we learn about genes, we found that all organisms share the same genetic code and that organism that look morphologically similar also have a large portion of their genes similar.
Humans share 97% (or 98%) of our genes with chimpanzee for instance.

Hence, we now know that evolution occurred, occurs and will occur, we don't believe or have faith. Ok?

Thugnificent:
Why did you become an Atheist?

Because I found the creation account unfounded.
Because I realized that absence of faith is the absence of god.
Because I cherish knowledge more than I cherish faith.

dolphinheart:


On this thread, if you want to prove that the pagan doctrine of trinity is biblical, then answer the questions posted by the op.
Dnt derail, answer from number 1 to last.

Its actually "biblical doctrine of trinity is pagan"

malvisguy212:
darwin was the pillar of atheism, there are disturbing messages about him in that link I post.

Darwin was not the pillar of atheism. Atheistic thought were already common in europe starting from 16th cemtury. Perhaps you mean he was the pillar of evolutionary thought. That would be right. But atheism is not synonymous with evolution, ok?

malvisguy212:
bible say ''if the foundation is shaky what can the righteous do?''

And what foundation is shaky?

malvisguy212:
my point is this, dose he not known that marrying close relative can cost genetic defect?
Note please, am not into science, but I think I make my point. Thank you

Actually, Darwin got married before Mendel published the first publication on genetics. So genetic knowledge was not common during his time.

Ok?

hehehehe they all came out of lucifer... a perfect being that brought about imperfection.. nawa oooo see fairy tale and people actually believe this ... lmao

They are all blind people. I wonder what the jewish god is got on them, paradise? Greedy id.iots.

sinequanon:


You are sounding like a dog. It didn't take very long for the wild animal to come out of you, did it?

How does someone like you hope to talk about civilization?

And you have been so badly brainwashed out of your culture that embracing it now makes you froth at the mouth.

All the holistic thinking that was the hallmark of African culture, art, music, healing etc. was whitewashed out of you to the point where you can't fathom where you came from.

Shame.

It doesn't take long before stupi.dity choke me. You on the other hand are at home with stupi.dity. You just feel comfortable with being dumb.
