I feel like a major sign of low intelligence is like- when you don’t question religion at all. Like at all ? Nothing ?
I’m not saying you can’t follow , But you just blindly following and you got no questions. That’s weird.

This would be true for those that do not ask questions. Or for those that do ask questions but to the wrong people.

I won't lie, my conversion to xtianity was not by men but by God's conviction. Why don't you ask God? If He doesn't use men then He will answer you in a different way.

Human emotions and imagination often make us mistake feelings for divine revelation. If God is truth itself, then the way to know God is through reason, not private experiences. A belief should be accepted because it is rational , not simply because it “feels”like God told you so.

Atheist here. Read your bible. It tells you to question it. And then make up your mind. But then adam and eve are a direct rip off from ask and embla. Our gods cared more about our minds than submission and blind faith.

Ask translates to ash tree, while Embla probably means elm or vine.
Odin.....Gave them breath and life (önd).
Vili (or Hœnir)........Gave them consciousness, movement, and intelligence/spirit.
Ve (or Lóðurr).......Gave them their outward appearance, speech, hearing, sight, and blood/complexion.

They shaped the man from an ash tree (Askr) and the woman from an elm or vine (Embla).

After receiving life, the gods gave them Midgard as a safe home to live in and build their civilization......They became the father and mother of the entire human race, populating the earth.

You may be an atheist but you surely have a working brain!😟

Fair point. Still, there are things that are not feelings induced... They just are. While there are people that base their beliefs on feelings there are others that have experienced it. It's not advisable to compare sleep with death.

God is truth and logic is a medium of attaining such truth. The belief in God has its own rationale and it's not based on feelings induced by the works of chemicals in the brain. Well, not to generalize it, at least my belief isn't based on my feelings.

Where most atheists got everything wrong is when you feel like educating others when you are not educated yourself!😟

Have you cared to question this?

I question everything thats why Nairaland gets so pissed off with me. I question religion and culture more than anything.

Why then do you speak with so much certainty that the story of Adam and Eve were rip offs?
Care to share how you came to this conclusion?

Because.....ask and embla came thousands of years before the three Abrahamic religions and that's highly documented worldwide. And its almost identical....so yahweh is most likely loki.

This is one of the reasons why i always laugh at ATHEISM because you people will just speak without checking what you said.
How can something be documented worldwide yet Africans aren't aware?🥱

YOU are not aware of a lot of things. And check Nairaland. There are plenty of topics on norse mythology. Do not be so silly and confuse YOU with Africa.

My friend, you are wrong. Have a look at the picture attached.

Although, your premise is wrong but the truth of the matter depicts that all cultures, by this I mean, notably older civilizations, had a story about originating from perhaps two persons or being made by some gods or goddesses.

No matter what you bring now if they are well documented worldwide Africans should have known before the Abrahamic religions!🥱

More importantly most of them did not know how they came into existence, they just made up guesses or garnished up some stories of how they came to be...

It seems extremely easy and most plausible that a mind, presumably God or if you are of the pantheons, gods, placed us here. This is seen in lots of early civilizations and it shows the mind of men trying to explain their origination.

You dont even know the full history of your tribes so your logic is flawed there.
You dont even your own laws so again your logic flawed.

And you are mistaking NATIONAL EDUCATION. of which Nigerians only care about Nigerian culture in schools. And DOCUMENTATION! you have never even read the anthropological record of your own country. So your logic is massively flawed. Half of the country cannot read. No wonder most type diarrhea like this.

Guy i studied my tradition for decades after getting tired of Abrahamic religions but there is nothing tangible to hold onto that's why i returned to the Abrahamic religion but this time i was ready to dig deeper that is how i now later became a real believer in the Abrahamic faith.
So if you haven't dig deeper into both but biased towards one side due to racism then you can't understand what i am saying!🙂

Ọmọ i'm into a global educational system not just about one country or continent.

Then what's your excuse for directly lying and equation yourself and your small fraction of knowledge with a whole continent.

Again religion and culture are not the same and you would know that if you read the Bible. It explicitly says not to treat the two the same and to obey the law.

I don't know what you meant by the underlined but i think we can just use the little knowledge we have to examine who knows better about the world and humanity!🙂

Typical Inferiority complex. Everything is race to you.

Accurate history = racism.
Law = racism.
You not being to debate = racism.

You are not reading. You're not even scanning for words. You're just scared.

2.2 million kidnappings. Its definitely not Nigerians being better at humanity.

Try again.

Chavvy. You have not addressed 1 single thing i said. You just deflect. And the whole forum can see how silly you are simply because VERY FEW Nigerians on here bring up race THAT WAS NEVER mentioned unless they cannot think of anything else.

seriously, I dare you to check topics. Its always handful of members and check your posts. You do it regularly anytime you are just wrong. You just bring skin into it.

I would like to know the rationale behind your earlier assertion. Given the present state of things that Ask and Embla are from 13th century sources and don't even come close to Abrahamic religions, at least xtianity and Judaism and not the prickly little last born, Islam.

We've not started yet nah!🙂

If i may ask.
How many countries do you know about the welfare of people existing there and who are those giving you first hand information?

I will first answer.
There is no country on this planet where my fellow believers in Christ are not preaching and teaching so they tell us what is happening in the most interior part of all these countries so as to know how we can help those who have become members of our faith.

Now answer the same question!🙂

Seriously? You used AI and didn't show sources.

[1] etc is AI sources. And ai always searches social media first.
Google doesn't do that. Humans dont do that.

Jog on. You made a racist accusation where none existed. You lost the right to even talk. Its a waste of perfectly good oxygen!! Show where I mentioned race ever since ive joined. When you can do that. Ill debate you.
