@ IamMichael, I think you should edit your OP to SOME Christian's instead of ALL Christian's. Although it is your personal opinion. 1 Like |

Dantedasz:Honestly, once someone proves me wrong, i will change it to 'some'. The 'some' you think of is because they have not yet entered into a serious discuss that shatters their religious illusions. 3 Likes |

There is no greater foolishness than an atheist that claims to be a freethinker wondering to and fro in the religion section of an internet forum. 4 Likes |

ThothHermes:Their un-intelligence bothers me because it is with the same thinking that they operate in their immediate environment. I am part of that immediate environment, and a look at the country tells exactly how this un-intelligence is manifesting. It affects me as a citizen, and i have the right to speak against it. Nigeria as a country is ruled by people who grew up with this same trait, and the results are obvious for all to see. 11 Likes |

IamMichael:How does their thinking affect their immediate environment? I am part of that immediate environment, and a look at the country tells exactly how this un-intelligence is manifesting. It affects me as a citizen, and i have the right to speak against it.The country is this way because of widespread corruption and bad governance. Not religion. Nigeria as a country is ruled by people who grew up with this same trait, and the results are obvious for all to see.Italy is a highly religious nation, so is Spain. Why are they developed? North Korea is almost as bad, if not worse than Nigeria. There is no religion there. So where's the connection |

Ghostrye: I am not a religious person but I think this thread would only attract those with a strong desire to prove they are intelligent (those who debate to impress and not to educate). I don't think really intelligent persons would be inclined to comment or debate on here. If you want to attract intelligent people, you'd have to express yourself intelligently. The title of this thread is tactless. Asides from being outrightly supercilious, it also sells as a glaring decoy that anyone with brains would want to ignore. I mean, intelligent people don't go around trying to prove they are intelligent. They simply follow intelligent threads and regardless of the content of this particular thread, a title that calls on people to come and prove they are intelligent doesn't present the thread as an intelligent one. It, in fact, undersells the thread. I could be wrong, this is just my opinion. **Edit** The title has been modified. 2 Likes |

Eulalia:You are 100% certain that they will not exhibit any of the trait's i listed above? I have had a lot of them start out nice, but when they can no longer defend what they are asserting, they feign imaginary online anger(I don't know if they also transfer it to real life) or abruptly start insulting you, or start baiting you into running an online insulting match...and i detest it so much. I'm asking because there is a thread i want to open, so that i will invite them to the thread. |

ThothHermes:Let me show you an example. - Christians are taught to believe that Satan, demons, angels, Jesus and Yahweh are real from birth. As the child grows, he's continuosly fed the demon and devil stories, and being told that Satan makes people who worship him rich. The child grows up believing that nonsense. Then one day, he starts thinking money ritual is real, and the rest is history. What If no-one ever told the child that Satan is real? - The Government uses tax payers money to pay for useless religious pilgrimages for people of same faith. Yet, look at how the whole infrastructure of the country is. - Religious institutions are busy teaching people about God's forgiveness, empowering people to behave as they want, maltreat others and do all sorts of nonsense because at the end of the day, all they have to do is ask God for forgiveness, and everything is settled. - Some of this Religious institutions have necessitated the death of thousands because of certain health practices, endangering the life of its followers, causing people to die because their religious beliefs forbids them from getting proper medical care. - Religion is the number one cause of division in Nigeria. It is always US V THEM, manifested mostly in Elections. Every day in this country, it's Muslim this, Christian that. A typical christian will hate a Muslim for no reason, and vice Versa. There is hardly anything without a religious undertone in it in Nigeria. - Merely knowing that the other person is not of the same faith, creates a predisposed hatred. Goodluck getting a job at a place owned by a religious zealot. - What of in school? Almost every private school is converted to christian religious centre. I mean, religion is taught in schools to children. Children without capacity to know A from B are being bombarded with religious doctrines from childhood, and being robbed of their own freewill. Something that is against the Law of the Land, seeing as The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. But, no! Children are forced to subscribe to the religion, denied the choice to choose. - Then you hear absurd comments like "I'm just doing it because of God"... - I don't even want to talk about terrorism, backbiting, and the rest that the churches and mosques create among its supposed adherents. Even among the christians, divisions everywhere. Among Muslims, divisions everywhere. - Not to talk of the perpetual ignorance it keeps the people in. The list is uncountable. 5 Likes |

@ IamMichael - intelligent Christians or intelligent theists you mean? Just to be sure your topic isn’t misconstrued to imply the Muslims, Traditionalists, Deists etc have a free pass. Well, unless that’s what it is. 1 Like |

Eulalia: - I'm not a christian, and i don't know what you mean by the word of god(except you are talking about the religious doctrines of christians popularly called Bible). - Secondly, when you say God, i don't know who you are talking about. Except, from your statement, i am assuming you are talking about the christian god, Yahweh. If that's the case, i suggest you always properly identify it by its rightful name which is Yahweh. It makes it easier to know who you are talking about because I'm not your fellow adherent. Regards!!! 3 Likes |
