I will only recognize you if you appear in that your coward moniker called damogul.

Until then, the FSM will be watching you.

Since common sense has made it possible for you to know i am one and the same why do you insult that common sense by refusing to answer a question asked you by the same person you are both accusing yet running from?

Are you confused?

FSM loves all character, but cowardice he Abhors like plague. You know that damogul moniker is odious now, because of the evil you did with it.

FSM will only forgive you of your evil, when you kneel and confess your arrogance.

Do you believe heaven or hell is real? If your answer is no then how does where whoever ends up bother you while you are yet alive on earth?

if a Christian who Loves God and has served Him faithfully believes he is going to make heaven and not hell then how does that affect you?

"Good" is never done without a reason....or motivation. Nobody wakes up to doing good..there is always a motive.

It bothers me that Christians who claim to be the most moral are so morally bankrupt to be celebrating an idea that most people- whether good or bad are going to be burning for eternity... If as a Christian, you're satisfied with this and have never asked yourself the justice of it, then you're morality bankrupt...
And please there are people that are naturally good and altruistic without motivation.... Doctors that dedicate their lives to fighting TB and other diseases in poor African countries, people who give all their money to charity. These are good people...
I know that Christians try to be good because their religion requires them to be, so the idea of a person that is good without any selfish interest is foreign to you...

My dear, there is no salvation in any other, there is no other name given amongst men whereby we must be saved...
There will no Xtian, Muslim, atheist, agnostic, idol worshipper in Heaven...Only those that have accepted Jesus and have been washed by the blood, those are the redeemed, only these will make Heaven at last!
Settle with Him and ecsape the damnation to come!
Stop being ridiculous... People who have given their lives to Jesus are the Christians...

Can you show me how Christians are celebrating the fact that anyone is going to hell? Are the preaching we do not meant to warn all about hell and ask them to turn away from it? How does that translate to joy?

The doctors you mentioned still base their work on MOTIVE.

I repeat, nobody wakes up to doing good...there is ALWAYS a motive.

I wonder how motive translates to meaning SELFISH to you? How do you atheists even reason?

If my motive is simply to make my world a better place is that not a motive? Is it selfish?

Why do you people never reason wide but always have a tunnel vision?

Every system is ruled by laws! Dont you know this?

Emotions and pity has no role!!
God forgives when you ask for it, repent and accept Jesus...Its Grace!
If you dont, even if you donate all your life, you are inches from Hell.
But thats not even you, I dont see any good you have even done, Jesus you dont want, your case is different!

I doubt you know how vast motives are. You are the one who isnt knowledgeable.

Why does a person go to school to study medicine? MOTIVE
Why spend those years in school? MOTIVE
When done why offer free services in medical care? MOTIVE
Why run charities in various forms? MOTIVE

Everything has a reason (MOTIVE) behind it. That motive when scrutinized is what makes it selfish or selfless.

I advice that you think and do more thinking and stop retorting ignorantly.

You just dey yarn nonsense...
1. If you're celebrating that you are going to heaven and you know full well others are going to hell. What's that?

2. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat it... There are people who are naturally good. There is a difference between a Christian who gives to the poor because he believes he will receive more and another person who gives out of empathy.... That's the difference between Christians and actual good people.

Geez... Can't you reason? A brilliant doctor with potential leaves his developed country and moves to a small community in Namibia to help them with TB... which fame does he have? If he stayed back in his country, he could become a rich doctor with a lot of patients and be famous... But he prefers to help a small community that no one pays attention to... So he left fame at home to go and look for smaller fame...

Another release of ignorance. How does my personal celebration translate to my rejoicing over anothers problem? When you get a good job and you are sharing the good news to others does that mean you are rejoicing in the fact that others lost out on the same opportunity? Why dont you simply reject every good thing that comes your way as a show of support to those who also lost out on same opportunity. Can you do that?

I repeat, nobody is born NATURALLY good. We grow into who we become. Our experiences and response to those experiences make us either good or bad people. The problem you have is that you assume Christians who give do so because they hope to receive. Those who do that are yet to understand what Gods word declares hence making them babes in Christ.

But love your enemies, do good to them, and give to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Where a person creates a system that is riddled with injustice, people challenge it until it's changed... There was a time slavery was allowed in the rules, it was challenged until it was abolished...
But your god who claims to be all loving and all knowing and intelligent, creates a system with the kinds of flaws? That is a logical impossibility

Why are you confusing yourself and deceiving yourself into thinking you are making sense. Did you just happen to be on Nairaland today? Why are you here today?

There is no action without a motive otherwise there is no purpose. Motive breeds purpose and purpose is what keeps you going on even in all the monotony you keep on keeping on because your purpose which was born through motive is generating results even if they are little.

Why did Seun set up Nairaland? For fun? Even that is a motive. Why would a doctor leave his comfort zone to a place of misery? Motive and purpose. These when combined enables him not to see the environment but only to see the assignment. Try to understand that and stop being ignorant.

Why would a soldier still remain a soldier even when all he sees is death all around him? Why would he leave the comfort of his home and family and sign up to the army even when fully aware of the dangers involved? How do you think the word PATRIOT came about?

When you say NATURALLY GOOD.....Naturally means "as expected". In other words right from birth such a one "is expected" to be good regardless of experience or exposure.
