I'm not a theist-atheist kind of person but i just want to clarify something.... the op's question “define God" is invalid except in some situations.... let me explain... its only valid when there is a misunderstanding between the theist and the atheist on the concept of “God".... but then... that's a wrong way to ask the question... it should rather be “what view of God are you talking about?" basically... different people have different definitions for “God" cuz God is not a name but a title... some Christians/muslims/few other theists still view God as a white bearded man in the sky... others call “God" energy... some say the universe is God... some say the universe is the soul of God... basically, people have different views of God and different things they call “God"... majority of atheists are against the white bearded man mentality .... so a theist cannot tell an atheist to define God... the theist has to bring forth his own definition of God first... then maybe... if there is a misunderstanding in the discussion whereby the atheist seems to be arguing against a different view from the theist, then the theist can now ask the atheist to “define God(or better still... ask for the view of God he is arguing against)" so that the theist can understand the concept of God the atheist is arguing against and then correct it... let me give an instance wilgrea7: i believe in God(christian/muslim) atheist: i don't believe in God in the above, the atheist must have understood the concept of the Christian/muslim God... then asking the atheist to define God would be a waste of time and a bad thing to do... cuz we both know the concept of God we're dealing with... second scenario wilgrea7: i believe in God(religion/faith not stated) atheist: i don't believe in God.. wilgrea7:the universe is the soul of God (atheist not understanding, then starts arguing against the white bearded view of God) wilgrea7: define God(or better still) .. what view of God are you talking about atheist: *lists his view*(white bearded man) wilgrea7: that is not my view... i believe that all the galaxies etc are the soul of God.. i don't believe in the white bearded man view atheist: (then understands and can now reject or argue against the panentheistic view) note: the second scenario is very rare and only applies in case of misunderstanding.... however... the question “define God" is invalid... if there is a misunderstanding, the theist should ask “what view of God are you arguing against?".... again... only applies in case of misunderstanding... |

MrBrownJay1:from your post i can easily conclude you do not even know why you are an athiest. you said it is not true should you not be alble to provide what is the true. if i tell you lagos is in the north should i not be able to tell you where in the north lagos is located |

Wilgrea7:Making sense as always |
| Re: Two Questions To End A Debate With An Athiest by Nobody: 8:21pm On Apr 04, 2017 |
Wilgrea7:you said the question is wrong right?. supposing you saw a new manchine today and you wanted to get full information about the manchine.whom will you ask?i belive you will agree with me that is either you ask the founder ,creator or manufacturer right. |

A88C:You see how you just kill yourself using 100% logic. Here is analysis of the colored texts. You just concluded and proved yourself that "NEGATION CAN NEVER BE PROVED". You made the claim in the 1st instance that Nigeria is in Europe. Therefore, it's your task to locate Nigeria Map in Europe and proof it |

A88C:Where you keep ya brain Can you prove a negate? |
| Re: Two Questions To End A Debate With An Athiest by MrBrownJay1(m): 8:27pm On Apr 04, 2017 |
A88C:NONSENSE!!!! I say there is NO GOD, and if you say there is a god then YOU should be proving that there is one.... Not me, duh! This is simple logic. But if you want proof, here is one: if there was indeed a BS god then there wouldn't be so many innocent children dying in the world. So much suffering or so many dumbass in church being defrauded by these criminals in robe. Dwell on that! |

MrBrownJay1:fantastic.simple logic you can give what you dont know.becuse you do not see GOD does not mean he did not exist or is absence of an idea equal to an extablished fact. why are some children suffrng? do you know what is call test? this is part of what make us human. in school some are privilledge to be more smarter than the other even if they are taught under the same condition and do you still no why? it is called test. i will post more enlightment on test soon |

Therefore, it's your task to locate Nigeria Map in Europe and proof it[/quote]you belive there is no GOD right then i expect you to tell me what it means to have GOD. i will ask you ,have you been to court of law before where lies are are made to be true if not i can give you instances |

CatfishBilly:pls repost it |

A88C:Here it is God is a/an entity/word/ used by the primitives to explain incomprehensible events |

A88C:You obviously have nothing to argue or debate about.... Go back to page zero of this thread. Read my first comment |
| Re: Two Questions To End A Debate With An Athiest by Nobody: 8:52pm On Apr 04, 2017 |
A88C:The burden of proof should lie on the believer, if I told you that I can fly.. would it make sense for me to tell u to prove that I can't fly, when no one has seen me fly.. Well , I didn't expect you to that because you know, lean not on your own understanding. |

No wonder Jesus said IT IS FINISHED Cos this thread na "it's is finished" |

CatfishBilly:One could say ugbelegbele exists because you made it exist. Philosophically,I believe that an assumption becomes a fact(for the "assumer" when there is no logical evidence to disprove it.Such is the case for religion,I believe there is God simply because God exists within the boundary of my logical assumption.I'm being philosophical anyway,notice that i'm not countering you in any way,your question just teased at my logic. As for the OP,your logic actually makes sense.You cannot ask the pope to explain anubis or sango. |
| Re: Two Questions To End A Debate With An Athiest by coolgee26(m): 8:56pm On Apr 04, 2017 |
The OP is confused. Lost his own argument. Thread dead on arrival..... Even Wilgrea an intelligent Believer destroyed the thread. Abeg when be the waykeeping |

A88C:It is quite absurd to demand for the definition of a concept from someone who does not subscribe to that concept. |
| Re: Two Questions To End A Debate With An Athiest by MrBrownJay1(m): 11:14pm On Apr 04, 2017 |
A88C:What kind of garbage answer is this?! Give me a CONCRETE proof that there is a god, instead of replying nonsense to smokescreen the issue. |

Wilgrea7:The thing is, most theists when they talk of god actually refer to the white bearded dude and actually believe there is a guy in the sky watching over us The view of god you have given has more of a deistic nature |
| Re: Two Questions To End A Debate With An Athiest by Nobody: 3:33am On Apr 05, 2017 |
Really hate when I open these threads expecting to find a good argument but just get trash |

A88C: CatfishBilly:You wont define because you can't asked to define what you don't believe in What a cheesy excuse of a cop out. CatfishBilly:Ideally anyone else will straightaway answer the questions Alternatively, might give a ''no comment'' or ''I dont know'' reply Instead what you did, was throw a strop, make a fuss and conveniently weaselled your way out of personally answering question #1 and #2 |

A88C:His perception of God is impaired thats why GOD to him does not exist Every atheists' Achilles heel and flaw to a tee is the inability to define God This inability to define God affects their perception of God CatfishBilly:Everyone notices ''fictional'' sticking and standing out like a sore thumb in your post Fact is, some certain gods are fictional, whilst God and some other certain gods arent fictional Fact also is, some certain gods are invented and untrue, whilst God and some other certain gods arent invented or untrue Point is, your ''ugbelegbele'' premise is a house of cards, as ugbelegbele, is a fictional animal, invented, doesnt exist and untrue BUT God is not fictional, invented and untrue |

A88C: coolgee26:''Primitives'' rendered this reply factually inaccurate and took the shine out of what would have been classed a brave attempt and good answer. coolgee26:https://i57.tinypic.com/34sp9j4.gif Slow but steady, slow but steady man coolgee26:Same cant be said for some, who lost their nerve and confidence and instead of making an attempt developed cold feet giving sobbing excuses coolgee26:Are you ready for this? Really? Get your weiner chopped off? Dont worry, as you'll be safe in CatfishBilly's capable hands He will gladly do us the honor of accepting to snip you Only you showed big kahoonas and put your head over the parapet to define God Everyone else balked at giving a definition, CatfishBilly particularly infamously chickened out so it will be a shame seeing you get nuked CatfishBilly can redeem himself, I trust him with knives to do an excellent work |
| Re: Two Questions To End A Debate With An Athiest by CatfishBilly: 7:56am On Apr 05, 2017 |
Okay, MuttleyLaff and A88C, I'll bite. God is a concept created by humans to explain what they can't explain. Here, you have it. |

A88C:A psychoanalysis of the mentality behind this moniker, revealed one of the cowards, who has thoroughly been stripped, of idiocy that's embedded in Christian religion. Putting out thread like this, further shows how infirmed most apologists are, when it comes to intelligent thinking. The forerunners of this imbecilic behavior, are now too ashamed, to be identified with the foolishness, that attends the claim of existence of Gods, that are obviously devoid of any substantial evidence. |
