You don't learn English by memorizing a dictionary. Little wonder, your post have words that pull more weight than sense. It's like having a large bowl of eba with two tablespoons of soup.

Discussions aren't about showing off your vocabulary, except you intend to use that as a distraction, something I'm sure you'd never do.

Have fun and run along. I have little interest in the dead Jew you hawk.

Life is not about aggressiveness. It doesnt call for abuse or any form ****. Stop being negative guys. It is not until u curse dat u make d name. U can call me the poorest or any other name, but time will tell. I wouldnt curse back and I wudnt abuse, but let tym speak. Let God reward u according to all u sent to me. Mark this day! U will remember when the "i" is dotted. Thanks

Hmm if you truly believe that, then l'm afraid it seems you are the one with the magical thinking here.

tecmon:
Respect to Delish pot, 4 everGod and Kilo4sur.e, much respect though you guys have exceeding grace, yes , grace and time to sit and discuss and argue with a monkey. someone who believes his ancestors were monkeys should pls go to Ape planet and leave Nairaland alone, Nairaland is for humans ! An atheist came to court to campaign for a special day for atheists, since all other world religions have their own holidays, so the Judge told him that atheist already have their special day, Ps 14 vs 1 says that April 1st is their day !

KingEbukasBlog:
Another anti-religion thread . Another blatant accusation .

Atheist countries are suffering terribly while Christian countries are the richest in the world .

It Is An Age-old Question That Has Plaqued All Those Who Like To Think About The Big Questions.
Some Religions(mormonism Etc) Says That God(Elohim) To Whom We Are Accountable Had A Father god,who Grew Up On A Planet As Man,and Progressed To Become A god Himself.While Many Other Religions Have Claimed That god's That god's Begot Other god's.Of Course The Problem With This Is How Did The First God Get Here?.
This Problem Of Infinite Regression Invalidates Such Religions.Christianity Claims ThaT God Has Always Existed, Is This Answer Even Possible?Does Science Address Such Issues?.
Be Patient Like A Lion,Calm Like A Dove,As I Answer This Age-long Question.

ValentineMary:
Does this not sound selfish? If what u said is true, then that God is a bad planner. Building this large universe and putting his purpose in just about 0.0000000000000000000000000000001% of it. Hmmmm

FearGodAndLive:
I'm atheist. How body?

FearGodAndLive:
Nowhere. They are not yet intelligent enough to make up fables.

If you know how am dancing here. Oh Father thank you. Welcome home.

kilo4sure:
Plaetton asked if religion is a factor in our failure, and seems to believe it is, do you agree with him? is religion now the cause of our lack of proper planning?

kilo4sure:
I understand your point but l still fail to see how this correlates with winning gold medals at the Olympics or are you saying Nigerians see the Olympic tournament as a spiritual battle? rather than preparing or working hard? Even the example you gave, shows that the religious even though they see things from a spiritual point of view knows what should be done, and would also agree with you on that.
The problem l have with the op is in connecting our religion to our Olympic woes, rather than blaming it on our lack of planning majorly due to bad governance and corruption.

analice107:
I see you don't have any plausible reason why u became an atheist.

analice107:
Your perspective is wrong. There are so many God's, and these God's have their methods of doing things by their devotees.
When you group all religious affiliations under one umbrella and their prayers, it'll be quite confusing. The reason is, every of this God's have their ways, the approaches to receiving from them are not the same.

So, I will pls want us to dwell on the God am familiar with, Yahweh. Let's take about Him and praying to him, not all other "Religious Affiliations". Thank you.

analice107:
Okay. Let's start by mentioning this multiple faiths. Bare in mind, "Faith is not the same as" Religion". So, let's go.

Inconsistencies? I don't see any, I think we shd also point them out.

Ineffectiveness of Prayer? Am a living Testimony of answered prayers, so I don't know what u r talking about.

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
James:4:2

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
James:4:3

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
James:4:3

Could the above be the reason your prayers were ineffective?
Juxtapose your reasons for wanting what you ask for and the Will of God, do they align?

Lust, pride (desire to show off), coverteousness, Envy, etc. If the above are the reasons you want anything from God, you won't have it.

In asking, how do you go about it? even if you are asking rightly, the manner also matters.
Between God and you, who is the Master, and who is the servant?
Is God working for your Dad?
Do you feel the need to order Him about?
Do you tell what you want and when you want it with immediate effect?
Are you rebellious, arrogant and proud? If this describes you, then you are not a sheep but a goat. And he needs sheep not stubborn goats.

The Lord is my Shepherd...
I know my place as the sheep, and Him my Shepherd, Do you?
What are the qualities of a sheep? Do i have them?
What are the qualities of a Shepherd? Does he have them, and can he keep to his words.
Can I trust him to come through?
Can I wait for the right time? (For there's a time and season for everything under the sun)
Do you trust him to do what he says he will do?

If you are not a sheep, how then can you even begin to ask for anything? There's a place for sons and there's a place for creatures. We are all God's creatures, but not all of us are Sons of God. (For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God)
You'd have to settle for what He has given to humanity in general.

anochuko01:
Brother/Sister, I may not know of any other thing, but one thing that's exclusive to a CHRISTAIN is the SPIRIT OF GOD (HOLY SPIRIT). At the point you really surrender your life to Christ, your spirit comes alive to God. And as you go ahead to get baptised in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God comes to dwell within you. It is then you begin to have several personal practicable expediences about God. This has a little to do with ''church'', though you need to find a bible believing church, but a relationship with God is a personal journey.

LET'S READ THIS TOGETHER....
ROMANS 8:1-16 New Living Translation (NLT)
1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.

4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.

5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.

6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will.

8 That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.

9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)

10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.

11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters,you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.

13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “My, Father.”

16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.

ALSO,
GALATIANS 5:22-23
''But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!''
If you genuingly give Christ a chance in your life, I'm so 100% sure you'll never regret it.
