Dalaman loves making hasty generalizations and refuses to see good being done. He has conditioned himself to block out the good being done by theists but to see only bad.

Let him now ask me how many muslims i have offered help on Nairaland since i have given him a few atheists i could remember.

The guy and his hypocrisy is already made bare.

I have come to see that religion is false, it is mental slavery. A cunning manipulation of false hope and fakes promises to deceive people.

I look at the world and see that it does not reflect the existence of a loving and all powerful God. The life of christians don't reflect the existence of God. Do unbelievers succeed in life and enjoy good health? So do some christians. Are some unbelievers sick, poor, suffering e.t.c? So are some christians so what is special about God. Is he then partial?

Why is it that religion does more harm than good? Why is religion ladden with the so called faith, false hope and fake promises. Do they know what faith is?, do we argue Lionel Messi's ability as a world class player? Even his haters know he is good. Arguing whether lionel Messi exists would be an insult to his greatness but not the same with the great almighty God, so much for his greatness and power that people are still doubtful of his existence.

Lionel Messi never asked us to believe in him before he performed on the pitch instead he demonstrated and we had faith in his ability but with God it is believe first, which is wrong as it is mental slavery. If there is evidence, there will be faith. For you to believe without seeing means that the person you believe in most have demonstrated time in time out.

If the almighty seeks faith, then he must perform time in time out. If such happens, when someone falls sick the first thing he or she remembers is prayer and God to bring healing --- that is faith. Telling one to believe without seeing is an insult to human intelligence. If we were like that don't you think we would be cheated easily at all times?

The very notion of omnipotence is contradictory, if I am omnipotent, can I create a stone so heavy that I cannot lift? If yes then my inability to lift the stone rules out my omnipotence. If I have to add more power to lift the stone then I wasn't all powerful.

There is nothing logical about his position. His humanistic claim has destroyed all that. If he believes man has a right to give his life his own meaning and his own shape isnt the same mans logical position part of what gives his life meaning and shape?

No! Christianity is a personal experience with God based on 1 singular principle. When i speak, i speak as a Christian. Universally Christianity is objective as it originates from one principle which is Christ and Christ has shown us how to live.

You speak of christianity is one monolithic group. It is not. There are different types and versions of Christianity. The Catholic church for example and christians and they disagree with the claim.of having a personal relationship with God. Some christians do not agree with some of the pacifist teachings of Jesus.

If you walk into a church to steal, and you get caught why did you even walk in to steal in the first place. Of course you would be forgiven by genuine christians but the fake ones would want to lynch you which is not what Christ prescribed when confronted with the woman caught in the act of adultery. He said he does not condemn her.

How many christians forgive people for stealing their things and offer them more? According to Jesus if a person takes your shirt you are to give him.your coat as well. Which christian does that. Any christian you steal from will like to have you apprehended by the authorities. If he can feal with you personally he will. Pastors are teling christians to take up arms against muslims.radicals and terrorists m didn't Jesus say that they are to run the other check when slapped? What about the teaching that a person has to.provoke you 77*7 times before you retaliate. How many christians adhere to that or even will consider adhering to that? How soon do atheist insult you here before you give it back to them? Your actions and activities here have failed you

You speak emotionally and make hasty generalizations on every turn.

Remember the last time Reinhardt Bonnke was in Nigeria, He happened upon a man who was caught stealing at isolo and was about to be lynched by a mob. He was passing through in his entourage and the crowd made him stop. He rescued the man and took the man with him to germany and today that same man is preaching the gospel of Jesus.

Jungle justice in most parts of the civilized world is a crime. It has nothing to do with christianity because atheistic countries like Japan and South Korea all abhor and have criminalized jungle justice.

I suggest you stop making hasty generalizations. Those who follow the teachings of Christ are unseen by you because you choose to only see those who do not follow so you can use them to continue convincing yourself that you were right by being a humanist

There are no christians that chose to follow the pacifist teaching of Jesus. I am.yet to see the Christian that will willingly give me his second phone after I steal his first.
