This is 21 century. computer age. Information age. And yet, you can't use that to find out the truth.


Well,let me sum it up for you. All Religion worship human being turned into god EXCEPT ISLAM.

ALLAH is not human nor having anything in common with any of his creations
I don't know if Muslims worship a true God or not...I believe Allah is a pagan god.
But I'm very certain Muslims worship a stone. A stone they believe can forgive sin and will testify for or against Muslims on judgement day.

It's only madness for a black Muslim to call his ancestors idolaters because they worship stones but travel to Mecca to bow and kiss another stone.

This makes no sense.

God is consciousness...

That is what the literature is saying...

Not a MAN up in the sky
He was a made-up character with his own flaws.

That is why I said the bible is written to keep you in check, well those laws help the society to an extent but we all know those characters in the bible don't exist. Jesus never existed, Noah didn't built a boat smaller than the titanic to accommodate billions of every creature on the planet.
The books are written to govern the society better. Dazzol
Okay.

God is consciousness... personified

Not a man or human being. No form. It is called allegory.

Bruh what do you mean by "spotted" can you defend your Gods existence or not?
Saying they are ignorant without defending ur claim doesn't sound like u have enough evidence either.
U are as ignorant as they are or maybe worse

This OP is just bored and has no job or is just mentally unstable. You claim there is no God and you won’t argue with Christian’s yet create a thread and tell people to prove to you that God exists so you can find more reasons to reprobate. Always the same pattern

You’re not here to learn. You’re here to keep deceiving yourself as you have always done.

To answer your question, God doesn’t exist since that is what you want to hear na

Born into a Christian family, I was taught God is all loving, all powerful and all merciful while Satan is the one that kills and destroys
But as I grow up, I began to realize God is actually the terrorist in his own story. The devil who was the bad guy has never killed a single person, but God has tortured and killed many just because he felt like it and I noticed God actually enjoys seeing us suffer and if God is real, then he just does this and let Satan takes the blame.
I'll give few points to support my claim why he is not real and if he is, then there is a bigger problem.

Point 1 Reading down to the book of Job, I noticed God actually went to Satan who was just chilling, placed a bet with the devil and asked him to torture Job and kill his children, I discussed this with someone and the person answered... "but God gave him ten folds of whatever he lost"... Like seriously? Giving me 10 children will just make up for the one you killed? I was not comfortable with the whole thing and felt that is not Godlike

point2 God strategically planted a forbidden fruit in the middle of Eden and told his mindless creatures with no wisdom as of then not to eat of that fruit. I don't get it, why plant it in the first place? it's like keeping a yam in a house and tell ur brainless goats not to eat of it, sooner or later they will surely eat it especially when the omini-present God decides to remove his presence from them throughout the day.
I think God was waiting for them to eat it so he can unleash the curses he had wanted to pour on them and enjoy as they suffer
You've made the right decision. As I always say; any intelligent person would soon understand the foolery of religion and set himself/herself free.

The stories in the Bible about Adam and Eve, Job, etc, were not meant to be taken literally according to the ancient authors. They're allegorical myths used to explain metaphysical principles in such a way that even kids can understand it.

The problem of misinterpretation started when the Greeks and Romans conquered the original authors and imposed a literal interpretation as seen today in the Bible. But the ancient authors were saying something completely different.

God and Satan are the same thing. They're polar opposites of the same thing. But Satan is the one that actually loves us- according to the ancients as seen in the story of Balam or Adam and Eve.

Look at the answer Jesus gave to someone like you 👇

Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.


You are exactly like this servant, accusing God 🙂

See the end of the servant below 👇

Matthew 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


But God is merciful. He will bring as many as received him into His kingdom at last... So let's stop argument, and reverence God

Things changed along the line.
Growing up, I question things, I became more logical instead of theological
So there's a time when you care about Jesus of Nazareth but things changed when you started having doubts due to what religionists are saying which negates what they are doing and what you can see around you.

Well you may be surprised that you never knew the truth about Jesus of Nazareth because many religionists you're seeing around you only does things that pleases them not what he taught in the Bible that's what makes life really hard these days:

But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, (those) having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 2Timothy 3:1-5

Highlighted in blue is enough reason for you to stop going to church or believing in God as any sane individual will turn away from all their nonsense and start seeking wisdom elsewhere!

You attention seeking so called atheits keep boring us with these threads. Nobody asked you nor cares whether you believe in God or not that’s your own business.
Learn how to spell atheists, then learn how to reason before trying to engage non-believers in arguments. And how can you say you don't care about atheists when you're foaming at the mouth because someone was liberated from your imaginary god cheesy

If anyone has seen The Matrix and read the Bible Objectively, I'm sure you can draw some similarities.
I say this because while I was reading the OP post I couldn't help but see that both works of fiction are all about control.

Control how the people think, control what they think, Control how they express themselves, control what they say. Control their very reality as it unfolds right in front of them.

Like Morpheus rightly said
FREE YOUR MIND

point6 The story of Pharaoh, God purposely hardened this man heart so he can torture him, kill innocent first borns, bring plagues on the land of Egypt and finally destroy them. The question is "why will he chose to harden this man's heart? It shows there is a little sympathy within pharaoh but.
That why I think the biblical story is all bullshit cos if God was real, then we are in a bigger problem, both those that will be tortured for eternity and those that will be living with such a cruel being.
God chose to harden Pharoah's heart because Pharoah being a human with Psuedo-Free will, for once actually wanted to exercise that freewill, and that decision wasn't in keeping with Gods already preferred version of events.

You know? Like puppets on a string God yanked on Pharaoh's, and took away that miniscule 'freewill' and imposed His own will. Because God always gets what he wants!


Kill and Pillage Pharoah and the Egyptian army in an awesome climax, with sick visual effects! Cmon! Parting the Red sea? Walking on dry land! Having the Egyptians follow them into a divided sea? Sounds like something out of a Zac Snyder film ( good visual effects with mediocre plot and story arcs, good action scenes though)

Point is God needs to hire a better script writer and Maybe just hire a new Director, cos God's directions are &hits!
