It is rather unfortunate that you cannot read in between lines (please think deeply about the father and daughter part again); furthermore you claim religion affects the way christians think.....Does "atheism" affect the way atheists think?

......................................
God gave man the free will so we won't be like robots.....the evil you experience today is as a result of man made choices.
Yeah right! This is like the billionth times i am hearing this same old crap. Most religion believed their god is omnipresent right? They believed he is omnipotent right? And also benevolent, merciful and all those blahblah stuff. Now an innocent child is being killed, The all knowing powerful god don't only have the power to stop the killer but he is also in the their presence watching the killer mane the boy to death. He didn't intervene because he gave man "freewill" right? But the boy "freewill" is being suppress by the killer while god stand and watch. If he intervene only one person "freewill" would be interrupted and that is the killer. By not intervening that literary means god is favoring the killer's freewill over the innocent little boy. Imagine if our army and police is like this god or even your parent? Maybe you will say god allowed it because he will send the killer to hell. So you mean for 10 billions years this killer would still be burning in hell for what he did to the boy? Will that un-murdered the boy? What pleasure would it give the boy if he realised his killer is roasting in hell forever? What if god stop him and set an example to others? Wouldn't that be better?
........................................
You are eleven.....how do you know what you're experiencing is sexual urge and not puberty......Could it be that you were exposed to movies that were a bit too matured for you as a child? If that was the case then don't blame GOD for that.
Huh? Are you saying puberty don't come along with "Sexual urges"? It is movies that makes an 11 year old child realized his/her new body features is programmed for reproduction. What about the 18th or early 19th century where they is no movies. How did he/she know what their features is meant for?
GOD communicates with you every second but your heart is else where
The omnipotent can split seas for the Israelites, he can bring down fire from heaven to lite wet woods, he can walk on water, he can create the whole universe in 7 days but he can't speak to his creation in a clear and audible voice because their heart is somewhere. He have to used prophets and pastors to speak to them. Wow!
How come your parents didn't buy you candies each time you asked?
.....................................
So prayers like "lord please stop boko haram" is candy? Prayers like lord provide food to all the malnourished poverty stricken african children is candy? Prayers like lord please heal my sick child with a hole in his heart is candy? Last i check, my parents isn't omnipotent, omnipresent, all knowing, powerful and all those stuffs god claim to be.

It's rather unfortunate that you chose not to chain down your daughter sespite the fact that you know her late nights may get her pregnant
Well he isn't omniscience like god. Isn't it about time you stop comparing god with parents? huh Geez!

Do you lust over your beautiful siblings?
...............................
Huh?
Does this universe have end,how does the end look like? If not,how come? Is it possible to have a container with endless volume,what is outside the universe if it has an expanding end.
.............................
If GOD was created then he wouldn't be called GOD
If the "Big bang" was created then it wouldn't be called "Big bang." wink The same can be said of that theory which you theist mock so much.
You were created in his image
...................................
Nice to know the babies born without limbs were created in his image.
..................................
That's to tell you the lenght at which GOD is willing to go just for you and I.
Yeah by creating billions of other galaxies and stars while millions are homeless And earthquakes, tornadoes and all natural disasters shatters some part of earth. Thank you Lord for creating Pluto! cheesy

Dapo777:
That is my father someone I have seen and I know very well. I am talking about a sky daddy you have never seen,don't know what he looks like etc,Why do you defend someone you have never seen,someone you don't even know he looks like,what he sounds like. The only answer is, YOU ARE GOD. THAT IS WHY YOU GET HURT WHEN I TALK BADLY OF HIM,YOU ARE GOD. YES YOU ARE GOD. IF YOU WEREN'T GOD WHAT I AM DOING NOW SHOULDN'T GET YOU ANGRY AT ALL.
Irrelevant post.

Dapo777:
1)Why do we have So many evils in this world. But God is a good God why does he allow evil,why can't he just end all this sufferings once and from all?

2)Why does God give me sexual urge as early as the age of 11 and forbid me from exercising it before marriage, why can't God make man/woman have sexual urge like after the age of 21 So that by then we would be matured enough and fornication won't be as high as it is now.

3)Why don't God communicate with everyone instead of using the Bible that is long boring and difficult to understand, why should there be Bible anyway when he(God) can tell us whatever he wants to tell personally.

4)why don't God answer all my prayers after promising to answer all my prayers in the Bible,he didn't give any conditions for answering prayers So why isn't he?

5)Why does God get angry when I sin,he is omniscience, whatever I do shouldn't come as a surprise to him So I see no reason why he should be angry when he already knows I would sin.

6)God made women beautiful and sexy,So why does he instruct me not to be lustful,he should have made them ugly and unappealing if he didn't want me to lust in the first place.

7)Where did God come from? Who created God since nothing can come from nothing,God must definitely come from something, God can't create himself,it's impossible So who created God,and who created the entity that created God,and who created the entity that created the entity that created God,and So on like that.

coolDoes this universe have end,how does the end look like? If not,how come? Is it possible to have a container with endless volume,what is outside the universe if it has an expanding end.

9)what does God look like? Does he take the shape of a human? Is he shapeless? Where is the spiritual realm? Is it outside the universe?

10)If God created the universe why is he So wasteful,he created millions of galaxies, our galaxy inclusive,with each galaxy having millions of planets
,just because he wants to create an earth with humans occupying an insignificant place in the universe, is he So wasteful?
funny questions,some.
I've thought d same way on some questions's bf.
But for many the answer is still in d bible.

Why is God so wasteful?
This question doesnt even apply.
First,God is unlimited - in ability and resources.
Somebody with excess can afford not to skimp.
Every freaking billionaire on d planet has so much stuff and junk
tht d common man can only look and wonder how one human being can afford these.
Wen you think about God,think in terms of a billionaire being.

Waste is a term tht applies to mainly to use of finite limited resources.
We humans dont know wat it feels like to hav absolutely no limitations. Think of it, if for every naira u spend u get double, wud you b careful about spending?
No.
It wudnt even make sense to have an accountant. Counting infinity!. Accountability and conservation has to do with finiteness.

2) God has a will.
He can very well do as He pleases with His resources.
Again, billionaires hav wills.
They do as they like,buy yatchs ,
buy jets,buy diamonds etc.

A lavish billionaire will live lavishly.

3.) God is lavish
It's His nature . Wen Jesus gave peter a catch of Fish, it overfilled his boat.

4.) God loves variety
all d planets are unique in some ways.
All 7 billion humans are individually distinct.
All these uniquesness add the the richness splendor and beauty of d universe.

This is very important for d enjoymnt of life.
Think of d many types of fruits they are! Some you've never tasted or even seen bf!
Wat of foods? Wat of cultures, wat of languages?
You can live looking forward to experiencing something new.
It is outta wisdom God created variety and plenty.
Infact a major reason why people want to b rich is so tht they can explore and enjoy all there is to enjoy of this world!

God is a wise God.

Why do u hav s.exual urges and shudnt hav s.ex ?
One, the bible says tht the flesh isnt saved. So ur body not being saved naturally wants to live like d devil. But people who end up yielding completely to their flesh eventually regret it and come to loss.
This urges pull strongly,its not always d devil,but d result of living in an unsaved body.
Even irreligious people know tht to succeed in life,they must subdue d flesh or it will ruin them.
Ever seen som1 who could blow huge amounts of money in a blink?
Som1 who could fly into a rage at an hair trigger?
Som1 who could eat a cow at a sitting and spend his salary on food?
Som1 with uncontrollable sxual desires?

You're seeing flesh dominancy in action.

This isnt God's fault.

You were a christian who didnt hav basic christian education.

So it's not GOD that gave man sex.ual urge at an early age,what do you mean by unsaved body,GOD put into man sex.ual urge and he calls it unsaved, that doesn't make any sense,why didn't he make everyone's body saved by not giving them sex.ual urge until marriage? He is omnipotent he should be able to do that
