"How else can you fight God but to pretend He doesn't exist?" - Chris Bowyer


"An atheist is one who hopes the Lord will do nothing to disturb his disbelief." -Franklin Jones


A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. --Francis Bacon


If we were to judge nature by common sense or likelihood, we wouldn't believe the world existed. -Annie Dillard

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge" --Ravi Zacharias

Without God man has no reference point to define himself. 20th century philosophy manifests the chaos of man seeking to understand himself as a creature with dignity while having no reference point for that dignity. --R. C. Sproul

Those who believe they believe in God but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself. --Madeleine L'Engle

God is not discoverable or demonstrable by purely scientific means, unfortunately for the scientifically minded. But that really proves nothing. It simply means that the wrong instruments are being used for the job. - J.B. Phillips

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol. -Deitrich Bonhoeffer

I'm still an atheist, thank God. -Luis Bunuel

It amazes me to find an intelligent person who fights against something which he does not at all believe exists. --Mohandas Gandhi

Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist. --C. S. Lewis

If there be a God and one has never sought him, it will be small consolation to remember that one could not get proof of His existence. ?George MacDonald

Still, even the most admirable of atheists is nothing more than a moral parasite, living his life based on borrowed ethics. This is why, when pressed, the atheist will often attempt to hide his lack of conviction in his own beliefs behind some poorly formulated utilitarianism, or argue that he acts out of altruistic self-interest. But this is only post-facto rationalization, not reason or rational behavior. -Vox Day

A disbelief in God does not result in a belief in nothing; disbelief in God usually results in a belief in anything.? -Unknown

I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.--Abraham Lincoln

A creature revolting against a creator is revolting against the source of his own powers--including even his power to revolt...It is like the scent of a flower trying to destroy the flower. --C.S. Lewis

God will not take shelter behind a jugglery of logic or metaphysics. He is neither a schoolman nor theologian, but our Father in Heaven. ?George MacDonald

Let Me pause here for now.

"How else can you fight God but to pretend He doesn't exist?" - Chris Bowyer

Fight? Who's fighting an imaginary being? We are fighting those who have put all their trust in that imaginary being and want us to do the same, early morning preachers, church loudspeakers etc, heck, our political nominees use it to curry votes

OLUJOSHINS:

There is no proof for the existence of any god, that's what atheism is about

OLUJOSHINS:

So man created god to have that "reference point"; makes sense now

The same god that was interfering with day to day lives of people in the bible suddenly stopped?

Oh! He hasn't stopped you say? Okay, tell him to reveal my real name to you, I'll wait

Idiotic quote

Take religion more seriously? Let him use Nigeria as a case study, I'm sure that quote of his would change fast

Atheists don't fight against god, we poke holes and show the stupidity of believing in imaginary being

Another one, refer to the above

Dear hopefulLandlord,
kindly go through Ur response to these quotes.

Do U detect rage & confusion?

If yes, Then obviously, Ur conscience has launched world war 2 with U.

if no, then I really think U need to read one of those books that talk about temperament.


Now going to Ur moniker. hopefulLandlord

Who do U attach Ur hope to?
The air?
Ur brain? or the contents thereof?



The fact that U believe in hope. But U don't believe in God is exceedingly funny to me.

& for the part where U were expecting me to come Up with Ur name, my dear, I'm not a magician. A magician will easily come up with Ur name.

more quotes for U hopefulLandlord.

The turning point in our lives is when we stop seeking the God we want and start seeking the God who is. --- Patrick Morley

I believe in God as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. --C. S. Lewis

"Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning..." - C.S. Lewis


"The atheist has no hope." - J.F. Clarke

Hahahahahahahahaha

So you think my replies are angry? Okay your interpretation

Christians have the hope that at the end of time:
all pain and suffering will end for the righteous
every evildoer will be punished, every good person rewarded
those who believed in Jesus will be sent to a place of eternal bliss and reunited with their loved ones
That’s a lot of hope. It’s false hope, but it’s a lot of it. Do atheists have less hope than that?
Yup.
Atheists have less hope than Christians have in the same way that adults have less hope than young children on Christmas Eve. The adults know that special gifts do not come from a jolly man in the sky with infinite resources. Young children – and Christians – have not yet grasped this.
But this does not mean atheists are without hope. It just means we hope for more realistic goals. It also means we face reality square in the face, figure out how reality works, and use that knowledge to better mankind.

& for the part where U were expecting me to come Up with Ur name, my dear, I'm not a magician. A magician will easily come up with Ur name.

So, your holy spirit can't reveal my name to you but a magician can?

Nice one

NB: I would've turned these on you but no, I've changed

Xtians need to up their game. Like seriously this type of argument is disappointing. Gone are the days when we had logical good argument with xtians.

I want to believe that the creator of this thread is new to theist/atheist arguments, so I decided to be much more lenient

hopefulLandlord:
Nope

Ahh, sorry bro. The Holy Spirit is not a magic spirit that U can easily control to do Your bidding.

He is a dispensation of "Celestiality"
He is a witness
A Comforter
A Confirmer
A Guardian
A Protector
A Brother
A Friend



I know all I said above sound like Latin to U.

Don't worry. By His mercies, He will give U salvation again.

Though U have expressly rejected the Light, I know that by His grace, U will be saved again.

Now going back to Ur reply:
magic /ˈmadʒɪk/
noun
the power of apparently influencing events by
using mysterious or supernatural forces.

miracle /ˈmɪrək(ə)l/
noun
an extraordinary and welcome event that is not
explicable by natural or scientific laws and is
therefore attributed to a divine agency.


I repeat MY GOD IS NOT A MAGICIAN.

He is a Miracle Worker.

After examining Ur moniker, all I have to say to U is this:

GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS

Or has it never dawned on U that U suddenly know too much than those who christened U Valentine?

the op has nothing to say

hopefulLandlord:
Eh?

Na wa for u o! Atheist with greater minds dan u, av pretended not to see ds post, but u, in all ur glorified ignorance, can't just look away?! U had to come show ur ignorance or limited knowledge ba?!

Well, ur excuse for infinite knowledge just shows how bullsheet ur knowledge is!

DeSepiero:

If you're so determined to die, you go to your fellow theists, they're known to kill for their god

Going back to her roots would mean worshipping one of our local gods, I hope you have no issues with that?

hopefulLandlord:

Atheists av been known to kill far more than any theist can! Infact, they av been more brutal cos of their unbelief!

hopefulLandlord.

The atheist that believe in Hope.

maybe U hope in Ur strength. That one day, Ur strength will make U a landlord.
Or in Ur job
Or in Ur understanding.


As an intelligent or realistic individual, the concept of hope should actually be very far from You.

U should only work on practical things & jump to scientific conclusions.

Okay. no more teasing.

I think I now understand how U eventually found Urself in this rebellious state.

U never understood the steps to Hearing from God.
U never understood the Possibility of a Triune God. U always wondered: How can Three People be One Person.
U surrounded Yourself with people that "just think they are saved".
U studied the corrupt nature of The false prophets & jumped to conclusions like an average Lagos girl.
And the final blow was Ur Examination of happenings of the last days.
U completely forgot that these happenings were predicted thousands of Years ago in the book of Revelations.

Wait a minute. I don't think U even "meditated" on the Word of God.

Y I come dey quote revelation for U naa?

Nna, If U continue in this path & Ur time just run out, na Hell be dat ooooo.

I no know no dey there ooooo
