You will notice I ignored where you insulted me by questioning my sanity.Do not try this again unless you don't have evidence for your god and you need to .... The fact that Egyptian gods could do these things also gives credibility to expressing doubt about yahweh being true.

Image123: See, it appears you have no real grasp of the religions you are putting up, that's why i do not want us to waste time unnecessarily. i showed that with the muslim case brought up. You could say little or nothing for the muslins. After have spent time showing you in a little way the difference and superiority, you want us to mve to christianity vs buddhism. After that, maybe some other reliigion, and on and on.
i've dealt with the OP and my job on the thread seems done. I'm not interested in discussing all the world religions. If you want comparism, lets stick with yours and mine, atheism and christianity, that's more logical. Than endless talk about each of the hundreds of religion on earth. i showed you God is not in the musuem unlike the so called egypt gods whom i doubt that you even know the name(s). If you sanely read the account of the serpents, you would not be asking who is more powerful.

Guy abeg don't dodge the "why should I hire you?" part. I simply mean why should I believe you over the other religious preachers?By accepting that the Egyptians had gods you realise that this means the god concept is created by tribesmen so your god is a creation of Jewish tribesmen.If Egyptian gods being in the museums is a case for Christianity, I must remind you that Christianity is pretty much not effective and dead ( if it ever lived) in Scandinavian Europe and the far east respectively.All the atheism vs theism arguments have been flogged for ages.If you want to debate Christianity vs atheism, I'm ready.

Ps: I don't know how to quote point by point and please....do not dodge the part where I asked why I should pick yahweh over the millions of Gods and gods out there.

Seun: We would have caused him less pain if we had noticed his name earlier and changed it. But now it's far too late to change his name.

Oga seun, is there any such thing as a troll name?his moniker doesn't go against any rule on the forum that I know of. Since "troll names" can get people banned, what will happen to monikers like blackpen!s , bushya$$ banger et al.I just don't see a case for moderating our names here. My two cents

Image123: Oh, so we'd have to discuss each of the world's religions or something, i dont do gossip and i don't have such time. Hopefully, we are thoroughly clear on the OP. Why don' t we discuss just atheist and christianity, your religion and mine, instead from moving about frm islam to shintoism to hindu? My God is the One who was, and is and is to come. He is the Almighty, not in the museum.

Image, don't run away under the guise of "I don't do gossip".Christianity is not the only religion that claims to be the way so you must tell me how you handle competition.Take it as the "why should I hire you?" question.

PS: I see you have evaded the subject of the Egyptian gods being as powerful as your god.please address this and pleeeeeease, atheism is NOT a religion.Happy new year

macof: True
Olodumare is the Great Creator above All Gods- others are his heavenly children including Yahweh

True only to yoruba history and literature same for the bible (Jewish literature)

Image123: Dunno about allah saving anybody. i'm told(even by mazaje) that muslims simply do not know if they are saved. It is left for allah to decide at the end whether they will be saved or not. That end has not come.
The older language folks are not atheists, what is your point?Can atheists perform Moses' tricks whatever that is?

Good! Muslims don't know if they're saved.how about Buddhists and other religious people?The older language folks had gods that could perform the same alleged tricks as your god so why should I believe you if an Egyptian can do a stick-serpent jig which is yahweh's trump card?

Image123: Deu 4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

most gods are the works of men. i know God is God for many reasons, one is because He is true and has saved me.

Bro, but allah has also saved many people too and allah is also true.The bible and isn't the oldest book and Hebrew isn't the oldest language.Those that used older languages had gods they worshipped so tell me how yahweh isn't a Jewish concept.Read your bible, Moses' trick from "God" of turning a stick to serpent was matched by the Egyptians and their Gods...so much for how real yahweh is and the Egyptian gods aren't.

Image123: And who says i'm not or have not? You like most atheists are just shooting blanks running from pillar to post. Do you have any one important thing to say, or yet another question pulled out of the pocket?

Firing blanks? Naa, I'm not a Chelsea striker.You haven't answered how you know yahweh is God and The Flying Spaghetti Monster (PBUH), alusi, alekwu, olodumare are "gods".So its like you're the one doing a Torres here until you answer the question.

PS: please when you tell us how you know, tell us why yahweh created the gods.

The guy with 2014 in his moniker is soooo correct. the new GRA is dotted with mansions.The roads are so bad, water is like gold here, even the monarch's palace is looking like s|hit! Vigilante groups go about harassing, intimidating and even killing youths based on hearsays and nothing gets done about it.The vigilante even demand drinks and money from families so as to release "suspects". Woulda uploaded pictures of the senate president's house but being labelled as a security threat and quizzed by the guards there isn't going to be funny.

Homebaked: @Poster, it is easy to lay the blame for the lack of development of Otukpo on the elite. They are indeed a greedy bunch. From another perspective, these men are part and parcel of the society. The entire idoma people are in one way or the other responsible for the poor infrastructure. Imagine where a personal gift of a car is prefered to a collective agitation for good roads, or where employment of individuals into federal civil service is prefered to a revitalization of the rice industry in the town. Selfishness seems to be the problem. Recharge cards and fuel sell above the normal rates in Otukpo,this not the handiwork of the elites. The Idoma people must rise above personal interest and move towards the collective ones. That's my take.

you're correct about the recharge card and fuel stuff. Fuel price was jacked from #97 to #120 just because of Christmas! Kai

Image123: i'm not trying to make him feel bad. Does the doctor try to make one feel bad by telling the truth of one's condition? A human is either a child oof God or a child oof the devil, there is no sitting on the fence.

A human is either a child of the flying spaghetti monster (pbuh) FSM, or a child of the smiling skeleton. See how it rhymes with your jehovah and satan?

Image123: Jehovah is the only God.

So why not introduce him to our Muslim brothers or he wants them to go to hell? Why did he even create other gods sef?

Image123: No contradiction. There is one God and many gods. Beside God, there is no other God. Would be stunning if you understand this line.

Is allah a god or God?

Well, listening to martin Tyler exclaim " balotelli....aguerrrrrrrrroooooooo! He's won the league with 90 seconds to spare!". Gave me the kind of feeling never experienced before.not even sex gives that kind of feeling.

please when are freshers to resume @ futminna? Thanks

What truth? That Jesus came to save him?

Image123: Well i don't argue against that, what's your point as it relates to the OP?

You say atheists doubt the existence of a creator and you say this creator is the Jewish god.how do you know he created the world and not olodumare?

Is the bible not a Jewish book? How can a non-jewish god come out of a Jewish book?

@abel202
Nice points you raised there but you must realise that the states of Israel and saudi Arabia are sponsoring religions native to their own people.why not canvas for one of the local places where miracles allegedly happen?. islam and Christianity are imported religions and thus, do not need any government assistance.its every pastor and imam for himself or like they say in the bible "to your tents o Israel! "

yemmy75: There's something called FIGURE OF SPEECH... Ever heard about it?? Feel free to check it up

Nigga, why not tell me about it ?

I'll be kissing my chick with both eyes closed at a party. #okBye

Abel202: [b]Prophet T.B.Joshua is God's wonderful gift to Nigeria and the world at large.
Wise, Smart and intelligent people have long realised this and they do not joke with this great prophet of our time.
Thousands of People come from every part of the globe to visit the Synagogue Church of All Nations on a regular bases. Even more Millions of people tune in to Emmanuel TV to have the presence of God through the man of God in their lives.
However inconsequencial people who have no experience in life and do not even understand what life is all about sit here on Nairaland and have the audacity to condemn this annointed man of God. May God forgive you people for your ignorance.
If this great man of God was an American, I guess the American government would have built a city for him because the number of people who visit this country en route to the Synagogue is almost like pilgrimage already.
I hope the Lagos/Nigerian government including the Nigerian people realises what wonderful gift God has given us in the name of this hugely blessed but very humble man of God called T.B.Joshua.[/b]

Are you saying the U.S government would spend tax payers money on religious business? You think we should spend our national funds on TB Joshua to "build him a city" huh?Even if our lawmakers are stupid, they're not stupid enough to do so. Stop trying to join the church and government.The government isn't for Christians alone.

Image123: No, He's not Jewish or any tribe. He is Lord of heaven and earth.

Same way olodumare is universal.he created the world.just ask macof

Damn! I can't believe someone didn't mention the feeling you get when you hear the uefa champions' league anthem play and of course, FIFA

Image123: A fallacy of hasty generalisation. Anyways, it should be because such a person finds it particularly distressing to imagine that any human would be so foolish as to doubt the existence of a Creator.

And this creator is Jewish and wants money even when he's not the oldest god in world history?

vickyO: Believing in God has done more good than harm and Godlessness has done more harm than good.
I'm a Christian and I can never renounce it. I have experienced miracles science can't perform, joy that I can't describe and one comedians can't awaken, feelings unexplainable and many more things I better leave unsaid. Why? because I trust and believe in an unseen Being, God.
If you've experience God personally, you'll understand me. If you haven't, I don't blame you for your unbelief.
Read testimonies of people. C.S Lewis, Voltaire and many people realized this truth towards the end of their lives and some realized it early.
You atheists might have be right in some findings you've done but it doesn't surpass simple truth that there is actually a God.
Why not accept this simple truth? Even if it is for the fact that no one can create breathing humans, animals and plants.

What are you on about? Voltaire was NOT a Christian.

Austeenx: [color=orange]Holy Satan!
It should be, "Do Demons exist?"

They don't believe that God exists, why should they believe Demons exist?[/color]

Are you really a satanist? One day its virgin Buddha and the next its holy satan.
