Meanwhile you refuse to read mine too, that for you to say there is no evidence for God you must have known everything

KingEbukasBlog:


We say that evidence for God lies in Nature .

hopefulLandlord:


if I decide to make Soyinka my role model, does he suddenly become my god?

KingEbukasBlog:


I can also assert a deist analogy

When asked if he was an atheist ( Says there is no God )

He said No

I was raised Jewish ( I was brought up with the acknowledgement of God ) and I questioned things ( I was religiously skeptical ) but now I see that religion (most likely a reference to Judaism ) is important

Its obvious that Mark believed questioning Religion means you are questioning God's existence but now he has passed that stage and sees that its important to acknowledge the existence of God .

claremont:


How does nature show us the existence of a god anywhere?! When you make sweeping statements like "evidence of god lies in nature", you should explain what exactly you mean. Do you mean that if I wake up in the morning, that proves that god exists?! What about people who sleep and don't wake up?!

There is a maxim that says "The absence of evidence is the evidence of absence". Atheists use this maxim, but originally, it's a maxim widely used in the academic research community. My point is- if I say that there is no evidence supporting the existence of any god, it doesn't mean that I'm asserting that a god definitely doesn't exist. It simply means that I don't know, and I'm open to evidence. I think this remains the key difference between atheists and religious adherents, because religious adherents passionately claim to know, and they do so without any proof whatsoever.

MrMontella:

you can assert anything...
But you forgot agnosticism exists...an agnostic neither believes nor disbelieves


compare that with the analogy of the agnostic i gave...

Many irreligious persons can see and do see religion as important


lier....
He sees religion as important..
Like i have said...
An atheist can see religion to be important..likewise anyother philosophical position..

2) if his usage of religion is the problem...(from your third quote)
Religion does not translate as God..
Atheistic religions exist..
A deist can also be religious...christian deism etc

do you now understand sire?

it's no use
You're talking a person with the brain of a black hole

KingEbukasBlog:


I won't take any umbrage at your petty insults .

KingEbukasBlog:


Lmao !!!!

According to him , he went through a period[TRANSITION) where he questioned things

That means the guy was never an atheist , he was a religious skeptic or a deist . Calling him an atheist is a misnomer . I think Mark Zuckerberg was a deist who has now rejected deism not atheism .

Mark Zukerberg is now officially a theist .

niyihawking:

MZ: No. I was raised jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important.

Boss man, apply some sense here instead of concluding hastily to please yourself.

he said "but now, I believe religion is very important". if you are intelligent (sorry for my bluntness), your brain should tell you that what he is saying indirectly is that "pious fraud is important".

This man is an intelligent person, I so much love the way he answered that question without having to say that he is an adherent of a particular religious group.

hahn:


How does this issue even concern you? He said "religion" is important. Do you believe that ALL religions are true or just yours?

PaulKillerman:
.
; He says he believes religion is important ; which of course it is to his patrons , who patronises his platform; and as such he is suppose to wish them well as they mark their event. .

I'm Christian; but to be true with us, religion has a way of dimming ones mind and make u very bleak and dismal in reasoning; it doesn't help u delve into that pool of inquisition, to find answers to the unknown; reason why most inventors whose ideas have changed mankind are atheist ; and Africa which is very religion have always lived in mediocrity and have never invented anything to help humanity...

felixomor:


Obviously, u r the one who cant read or comprehend!

Because he said he questioned things for a while and his link on his upbringing indicates a return.

winner01:
Ranchhoddas, you kept telling me how wikipedia described Mark Zuckerberg as a sworn atheist. I remember i kept telling you that like seun, the co-founder of wikipedia (Jimmy wales) is an atheist, an angry one.


I just hope by now, you can see how far atheists are willing to go...

Jesuobu:
Mark hath taught thou(nairaland atheists) to say Jesus is Lord!

notjonbellion:
ironically bro with the way they are behaving this is not what he said

niyihawking:

a return to where??

use your head

MrMontella:

na christian you quote oo

me..im done with the thread!

samijay8:
he didn't even say I'm not an atheist. religion must be important to him cos his social media are used by so many religion. ask if he's a Muslim he may even say he loves it. ask about Buddhism and will say he supported it. he's an official atheist but not Ur Facebook post can allow him to be saying he support it. he must love everything no matter his religion.

notjonbellion:
how many times have you jerked off to this news today

AnonyNymous:

Actually

There are many deistic religions. Some sects of Christianity are even deistic in nature. And there are atheist religions as well. But I get it, Mark isn't an atheist.
And Deism us still a form of theism so its all good. But correct that notion you have about Deism. Deism just believes god, whatever form god is, is non-interventionist

4evergod3:


But sir are you Atheist?

MZ: NO!

Did you miss that part?

notjonbellion:
bro
Christians are the most unreasonable people to argue with
Muslims are second to them
I swear

KingEbukasBlog:


Exactly bro !

The atheists were the ones who kept suggesting that Mark Zuckerberg was a sworn atheist . .

And they (Wikipedia ) keep inflating numbers of atheists in different countries . Trust me bro , atheists are much lesser in reality .

The same Wikipedia claimed that Zoroastrianism influenced Christianity , Judaism and Islam whereas Judaism came 1000 years before Zoroastrianism . Just to discredit the Abrahamic religions .

The fight against God is real .
