You are right with your question because God is used with capital letter G
Small letter g in god refers to smaller deities generally called gods.

menesheh:



Why do you want me to care whether i use small letter or big since you already said that 'God you don't believe in?"

hahn:


You can only use capital letter to begin a word when it is a noun. The word "god" refers to an entity that is non existent, it only exists in your imagination.

Therefore there's no need spelling the word out with a capital letter "G"

[b]Hhmmm 5minsmadness i must say i expected better and this comment from you fell far below expectations, First Christianity was propagated in Europe because of the roman empire and crusades, it reached africa through the missionaries.

Islam was propagated through many of Muhammed conquest, Jihad and some Islamic scholars as in the case of most African society as a result of Mali empire adopting islam.

Following your analogy we can the conclude that since islam is the most widely practised religion in African with 47%, muslims can then conclude Allah is greater than christian god.

Since researches have shown there will be a relative decline in Christianity and a boost in islam (mostly due to polygamy tho) Muslims can then conclude Allah has toppled the christian god in power and potency since they now possess the upper hand in populations.

You also forgot many ancient religions have once being widely practised all over the globe but now has slipped down the timeline of history as myth and many still linger but in a small scale. . .we could then postulate those ancient god concepts were the powerful and reigning ones then.

I expected you to know propagation of religion has nothing to do with the potency of any deity but alas i was wrong apparently [/b]

An2elect2:


Now this is just another stup.id reasoning. 'An entity that is not existent' is still an entity and hence a noun.

An2elect2:
why is it that you use a small 'g' for a God you don't believe in?

5minsmadness:


Why do people always say they expected better from me, abi I dey thrill u guys with my sense hey? :DD

By whatever means Christianity was propagated the important thing is that it was propagated. If Zeus wanted to conquer the world he should have done it through the roman empire but he didn't did he?

It was God who took the holy roman empire by the balls

This sounds gay

through a few ragedy illiterate men and conquered a whole Jupiter and his many deities. Odd eh? The wisdom of God seems like foolishness unto menmen

Islam simply rode on the back of Christianity and conquered through extreme violence, something they still do till today. Oh yes, you will cite examples of the crusade wars to show Christians can exhibit violence also but this as usually done in self defence and not the blatant disregard for life islam so shamelessly exhibits.
One also wonders if the devil, after discovering God's ultimate plan through the resurrection of His son Jesus Christ a tad too late, did decide to set up a pseudo religion to compete with God's religion. A religion of peace even though their works speak otherwise

Kindly mention any world religon other than Christianity and Islam through the ages! Even Judaism didn't have as much wide spread influence as chrisitianity does!

Face it. Christianity is an enigma, conquering the world through illiterate rageddy unlikely men and women who alone could do nothing but with God could not be stopped!


Hallelujah!!!

You sound like a premiership fan and your club just won a trophy. There's nothing "spiritual" about racing for the my-religion-is-the-best title.

Human have always been perplexed by the concept of creation and have always been known to be gullible. I hope you realise that not EVERY muslim is into killing or bombing. Afterall, I can recall a certain pastor who commands his followers to drink fuel, eat grass, suck his dick, burn themselves etc. Is it then safe to say all christians are dumb?

johnydon22:
Correction, Christians Call him Yahweh/Jehovah. . .God is a noun that can be used to depict these deities in a general way, it is not a name of any deity.

Even Allah is the arabic word for god, arabic christians still use the word (allah) to refer to yahweh

Nope.. no be only sense...hahahahahaha
You once gave the impression to be interested in scientific discourse in the science section, so i expected you would have at least read some basic historical antiquities.. Too bad, i was wrong

An2elect2:


why are you so careful when spelling out His name?
Isnt it easier using it the way others would?

5minsmadness:


Correction, Everyone knows who is referred to when God is used even in the middle of a sentence. There are many gods. Gods abound. But God almighty is the only God!

See what I did up there?

You can then take that up with Muslims and other monotheists because am sure they would love to tell you how God(allah) is the almighty and not yours

hahn:


When exactly did this happen? Was there a competition? Was there a "most high" coronation ceremony? What was the criteria used to judge god as the "most high"(and don't tell me they smoked weed)? What other "gods" were in attendance?

You know na, the nitty griity

5minsmadness:


Its a trick pseudo atheists use
They spell God with small letter g (god) so that if thy should ever convert back to Christianity they can say they were not referring to the God but small god. One of them actually told me this privately He is doubtful about his faith but can't let go completely so he comes online here to diliberately antagonise the body of Christ but he carefully uses god instead of god. First reason is to deliberately piss off Christians who believe God should be respected with capital letter G and secondly so if he ever blasphemes or commits the unforgivable sin he can always say he meany small god not big God.

That's what many of them do no cos in reality they are afraid of God but of course they will want to deny it now

It doesn't negate what I just said above They call their god Allah, not God!

**Face palm** More disappointing posts pouring in. .

You have no idea the meaning of Allah do you

An2elect2:


We as believers know that our GOD is the only GOD that is. All others are paps and the works of men.

The question now is are you a Christian or are these posts born out of your moniker?

5minsmadness:


Would you be willing to step out of the bible with me?
Never mind, some examples can even be sited from the Bible.
Rememeber that funny part of revelations when God was looking for someone who would die for humanity? I'm not good at quoting bible but I can search it out if you insist.
All the heavenly host refused to take on the Job. Those heavenly host were not angels alone but consisted of 'principalities and powers in high places', the 'movers and shakers of the great beyond!' When the Word of God (Jesus) came forward to accept the challenge there was a bit of discussion. He was asked if he realised what opening the scroll entailed and he said yes. It required experiencing death, he said he was aware. And so for agreeing to do this he was given a name above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every knee (principality/power) must bow!



There is a 'legend' about Pan (Pan was a pagan god in fact legend had it that he was an embodiment of all the gods on earth) that says he died the moment Jesus Christ was born to signify Christ's supremacy. Google it up bro! Its not only the bible you should read!(But kindly avoid the seven books of moses. My hand no dey that oneone )

5minsmadness:


Wait a minute. You honestly believe God is the only diety? That there is no other god even small ones?

An2elect2:



LmaO I thought of that too! lol

Everyman has an 'in-built' fear of the Almighty and when he rebels wilfully, he tries to win many to his side lest he gets swallowed by his fears. Lol

hahn:


How can one have fear for what he believes doesn't exist?

You can imagine the average christian mind . . . thats why they fear even the idea of ghosts

How do you know there is this one god since you don't want to worship those gods under the umbrella of any religion.

9aijaboi:

You can check the Christian bible, God is called God in the bible as Allah in the Quran.
However different Christians like Jehovahs witness call him Jehovah not God but that does not make the former or later wrong.
Besides, You don't use small letter g for God except when you refer to small deities.

There is a something quite bigger than us. I don't believe in religion I believe in spirituality.

5minsmadness:


Yes I do sound excited don't I

E dey pain you?

What kind of worshipper would I be if I wasn't excited about my own God?

Exactly! At the end of the day, your motivation for worshipping "god" is just so you can prove you are better than others and will go to heaven while others go to hell not out of a genuine concern for mankind. You're just as egotistical as your god

As per your second paragraph what has it for to do with what we were saying?

I have Muslim friends as well, good guys called kebiru and hassan! And they are one of the nicest people I know and adherent Muslims to the core! Yet even they are beginning to doubt their religion following all the bloodshed it has left in its wake the past few decades! Sure there will always be wolves among the sheep but surely you will agree with me that Islam needs a major overhaul in terms of its attitude to violence!

And so does christianity. I'm getting tired of seeing christians donating their life savings for a "miracle" instead of educating themselves. I'm tired of seeing christians eating grass, drinking fuel and living in poverty while their "pastors" ride around in private jets

hahn:

5minsmadness:

No.
The truth is that you undersetimate chirstians and have probably never met an adherent Christian scientist.

I won't blame you so.much though. The average modern Christian knows little of their own religion , relegating the powers of the Almighty God to a few pages in a summarised book called the bible that even some of its authors wrote wasn't complete

I still have hope in you johnnydon. It will be a happy day when you reconcile religion with science! Then most (not all ) of your questions (and I know there are many!) will be answered!

Beautiful joke tho. . .

I said i expected you to have known basic history to know that religions being propagated has nothing to do with potency of any deity and you still do not comprehend and talk about underestimating christians. . In fact i don't, i have disagreed with an atheist that religion impairs intelligence but for someone to make such a childish assertion like the potency of a deity determines the spread of its religion makes me think in the regard of agreeing with those other atheists…

. . .Meanwhile i would like to see you in the Science Discussion thread, lets see how scientifically inclined you are, bring all your brains along while at it because you sure will need it. https://www.nairaland.com/2391945/sciences-discussion-thread

5minsmadness:


And yet you keep asking questions of the non existent something
You keep searching daily to prove this something doesn't exist!
You wonder how people will live their whole lives in the face of all this science and technology around them staring them in the face and some even willing to give up their lives for this something that doesn't exist!

Whatever this something that doesn't exist is, IT must be exceedingly powerful!

5minsmadness:

More underestimation oh 'learned' one!
Allah means God in Arabic, so why don't they just say God when translating it to English? Cos they know 'God' is already taken and means the Almighty God of the Christians!

Abeg 15 mentions and I need to eat! Catch you guys later

let me drop one of their memes...Come again please Can as well call empiree, tartar9 Rilwyne001 9jaforlife to teach you they refer to their own deity as Almighty Allah (Almighty God)...Have no business dabbling into such arguments of blatant willful dishonesty
