Dtruthspeaker:I have nothing else to say to you. I’ll advice you not to make quick assumptions when submitting an argument. It doesn’t help in ensuing a productive conversation when you assume that every one who disagrees with you is either evil, possessed or intransigent. It suppresses your reasoning and prevents you from questioning your own ideas. You don’t assert people’s ignorance or arrogance before inquiry. This doesn’t help in finding the truth. |

TenQ:You're buttressing the same exact fact I'm stating. Another Christian would come and say the direct opposite and claim u r wrong, yet u r reading the same Bible. Tell me, didn't yhwh foresee all the confusion in Christianity? He could have written a book that is easily understood and devoid of lies, misinterpretations, miseducation, confusion etc but no, he wrote one of the most bleeped up books |

jaephoenix:But God did not promise to always respond with a "Yes" whenever we call upon Him. As you read through the Bible, you will realize that God's responses can be "Yes," "No," or "Wait." |

Biggeststar01:I did not assume anything. You represent one side which in my view is evil, while I represent the other side and have marshalled my points to that effect. I don't know you and you are trying to sound fairly balanced unlike the atheists I deal with here, so I do not see your personality but I do see your position, which is what I addressed. And I am not trying to condemn anyone but I am here to put clearly facts and Law which people daily uphold in their lives. But when it comes to God, they suddenly forget and start trying to raise an unknown and untested standard which they don't keep. So, if you have a reasonable counter to my response, I would review it, think on it and if indeed it is valid, I would thank you for the correction and the enlightenment and if an apology is needed, it would be given. |

Krismas:And why are you showing me evidence of Australopithecus? I said to show me evidence of the first human. The australopithecines were definitely the early human-like hominids according to scientific evidence. But I’m asking for the evidence of the first human being, the first member of the Homo sapiens. |

Dtruthspeaker:Your view of atheists is an assumption. It is baseless as you cannot substantiate the claim that the atheists position is evil, while yours is moral. I wrote this in my quiet time and i didn’t want to share it now but I think someone like you needs to read this. “One thing society need to understand is that; God fearing does not equate to rectitude any more than godlessness equates to depravity. One can be God fearing and still be morally depraved. Likewise, one can be godless and morally upright. In fact, it is statistically proven that the rate of self-declared atheists [godless individuals] in prisons and other correctional institutions is relatively minuscule [0.001% give or take] in juxtaposition with the rate of the God fearing. Further, countries and organizations that have high rates of godless folk (over 80 and 90% identifying as atheist) are by and large, relatively safer, less corrupt, and generally more prosperous than religiously predominated ones. The prevailing religious outlook that portrays godless people as inherently flawed and unprincipled, having an incorrigible propensity for moral turpitude, while portraying God fearing individuals as morally superior, is baseless and anachronistic, I think Nigeria should serve as clear proof of that. As a person who lives in a largely religious society, the most nefarious, utterly sadistic and iniquitous set of people I know, are religious and “God fearing”. Such stereotypes is what allows for illustrious individuals in religious hierarchical subsets to escape justice or even scrutiny apropos moral conduct, while godless folk are assumed to be evil by default because they fear no deity. Speaking of fear, I opine that the practice of grounding your morality in the “fear of God” is insubstantial. That one’s moral compass is predicated on the idea of a god, doesn’t make one a good person. If the only reason you’re doing good deeds, is because you are afraid of what could happen to you if you do bad deeds, then you’re essentially a bad person who is being restrained from acting on your default. Basically a dog on a leash, and your morality is contingent.” - Biggeststar |

Merry100:So what's the use of telling someone to call upon you when you don't always respond 'yes'? Btw, why would an all knowing god require me to beg and plead for him to intervene when he already knows that I'm in trouble? |

Chidolalar:It doesn't work that way. We all have to embark on that journey individually for it to really make sense to you in your own way. Google was a big help. You have to really really want to know, cos there is a saying, ignorance is bliss. Think about that statement deeply before you make up your mind. |

Biggeststar01:Experience is not an assumption. I have crossed swords with atheists too many times that I must come to a conclusion, exactly how you too have come to a conclusion on women. And there are too many threads/posts to prove that this is the same conclusion people have arrived at. https://www.nairaland.com/4618490/atheism-extreme-evil#69394396 https://www.nairaland.com/277656/atheism-greatest-all-evils-na#3943094 For me it's even worse that I had to raise my own thread on the evils of atheists. https://www.nairaland.com/7389658/these-know-atheists-obviously-evil#117672034 So let's leave this issue. You have something to say on the issue at hand Biggeststar01:Even from the way you have spoken and presented your facts you are different from the main atheists people meet here. And your points in bold are valid and True. But as you yourself know and see from the threads many atheists may not be in prison but that doesn't mean that they are not evil people. Biggeststar01:And this is where the foolishness of foolish people are seen whether they go to church and claim to be Christians or not. If you can see this part, it is clear that God too sees it and definitely He has done many many things to ensure that such kinds of people are weeded out and kept with others who clearly subscribe to doing the wrong and the evil. So, in the righteousness and uprightness are standards beyond these |

Biggeststar01: Human?That will be Homo Sapien. Then, i like to submit two points. 1.The six stages in the process leading to Human, had their define timelines, from Ramapithicus to Australopithicus to Homo habilis to Homo erectus to Neanderthal Man to Cro-Magnon Man. 2. Human (Homo Sapien} has not evolved over the last 8000yrs |
| Re: How I Saved A Friend From Becoming An Atheist by Biggeststar01: 5:17pm On Jan 12, 2025 |
Krismas:lol. See your mouth. You think evolution is only physical? |

Biggeststar01: What makes u assume, i was referring to 'only physical'? |

Dtruthspeaker:Experience is not an assumption. I have crossed swords with atheists too many times that I must come to a conclusion, exactly how you too have come to a conclusion on women. And there are too many threads/posts to prove that this is the same conclusion people have arrived at.Your experience is not fact. Like I said, human experience is a terrible source of evidence. You engage in these kind of clashes because you start every conversation with invectives and slanderous submissions. I have no conclusions on women or any group of people for that matter.https://www.nairaland.com/4618490/atheism-extreme-evil#69394396There is no such thing as “main atheists”, the fact that you’re not in good terms with the ones you meet here doesn’t say anything about the behavior of atheists. |
| Re: How I Saved A Friend From Becoming An Atheist by Biggeststar01: 5:51pm On Jan 12, 2025 |
Krismas:Why do you make such claim? What makes you think humans have not evolved over time? We don’t even have enough data on the theory of evolution. There are a lot of blank spots on the details, making any such claim is ludicrous. We still evolve. We evolved bigger brains overtime, there are vestigial structures in our body (like the palmaris longus, a tendon that around 10-15% of all human are missing on either one or both of their arms. You can find this vein by pushing your thumb against your pinky in an opposing manner. Another is the ability to move your ears, this physiological ability would’ve presumably been more useful to our nocturnal ancestors, but they are quite useless to us, hence only few people have the ability. Another is goosebumps. The list is endless. |

Merry100:Thank You so much Esteemed for helping keep a sister from straying away from God. Kindly permit me to note an observation in the bolded above, if she or anyone or reads it does as advised above, that would give an opening for disrepute to God's Name on her, the devil will most probably strike, and she'd be at loss. So may I advise you kindly edit that section out of your testimony. Once again, thank you so much for edifying us today Beloved ![]() |
| Re: How I Saved A Friend From Becoming An Atheist by Dtruthspeaker: 6:23pm On Jan 12, 2025 |
Biggeststar01:Have you read sources of evidence? No. If not you would have known that fact is confirmed by human experience. Then the bold, see how you have put the blame on me when clearly, like even this thread shows, the slanders started with an atheist. Biggeststar01:Have you seen an atheist in good terms with any Christian? Never. Clear proof that atheists hate God and everyone who subscribes to Him and as you have just done, you people always attack them first like Hamas does. Biggeststar01:And that is why many of them will fall under the Mark for an acts done under threats and duress are never acceptable. Even man fake laws called legal pronounce this Law which God had set. Which is why God's standard is higher. |

jaephoenix:jaephoenix, Oh my Gott! Et tu? Me I let the specialists at King's Hospital do their miracle, and voila. I must confess I prayed once though. Ma came with the Mother's Union and I thought to myself, I'm not letting these women disturb the ward with their prayers, so I prayed, "Thank you lord for all you have done", and they all said amen and left. Feedback I got was I was arrogant, lol. Ref: https://www.nairaland.com/4437570/gospel-according-luke/1#72867008 |

Biggeststar01:I am unaware of any increase in the cranium capacity of humans over the last 8000yrs. People tend to believe humans have become more smarter, when infact they are getting more stupid. 10-20% variants in population is not a significant evolutional concern. And can be explained away. e.g, Palmaris Longus is more absent in females and that ofcourse, is not the only difference btw both sexes of human. Movement of ears is rather more for flapping away flies than for enhanced ocular capability. Human has been evolutionally stable for 8000yrs . Mummies 4,000yrs old unearthed in Egypt, are not different in any way from us |
