₦airaland Forum

Seun:
When I decided to post bold threads like "Why Faith Is Bad", "The Salvation Plan", and "Evidence For The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ", I knew there would be some negative consequences. However, it's not fair to say I'm using Nairaland to promote atheism on this basis, none of my these bold threads have been posted on the home page. These threads don't represent the official views of Nairaland Forum. I go out of my way to encourage the supermods to post pro-Christian topics on Sunday and pro-muslim topics on Friday because I think we need to make Nairaland members of every religion happy. Nairaland is not an atheist forum, it's a Nigerian forum and religious because we are religious.

But I felt a strong need to express myself boldly because I truly feel that the idea of believing in things by faith rather than by evidence is destroying Nigeria and humanity. This idea of "don't confuse me with the facts because my mind is already made up", is a very bad poison that is killing us all. Once you give lot of people the idea that it is virtuous to stubbornly cling to their beliefs by choice regardless of whether the evidence of those beliefs are strong or not, or whether they make sense or not, you end up with conflicts that simply cannot be resolved.

Take the problem of Israel in the Middle East. Setting up a Jewish state by seizing land in a location where they would be surrounded by hostile muslim countries was an incredibly dumb idea. Anyone with half a brain can see this. But if you had raised this obvious issue with the people who set up the Jewish state, they would have told you to shut up because that is the promised land. It doesn't matter if the land is in a desert and surrounded by enemies; it's the promised land. Many wars have been fought and many people have died because of this dumb idea. That's an example of the kind of damage that faith-based decision-making is doing to the world. It causes smart people to make terrible decisions.

Chaiiiiiiii.
Take it easy.
I can understand.
LIFE at some time was miserable to me.
My story was not in any way different from that of JOB.
At some point I became a plague, people were afraid of travelling with me because they feel I attract ARMED ROBBERS.

At some point in considered suicide.
But I remembered my siblings and the Fact that I can't be jobless.
Just last year, GOD BLESSED me with a resourceful JOB again.

I now add weight every second and pay my parents and siblings salaries
It is well with U.
Most times we want to overtake GOD.

Seun:
If I had my way, there would be no Islam section. It was created just to protect Nairaland members. I want different faiths to interact.

1 John 4:4 Greater is He that is in you, than He that is in the world. I fear not devil's children,I fear not lost children,I fear not people on their part to hell and destruction. Jesus is the only way. If you are not in the Light of God you are evil.

Eya! I feel your pain.
God willing, maybe you will get that desire back to knock one day.

We humans dont have the power to convince, only God does.

felixomor:
It is that which will take place when one gives up on the soul,
In other words, when one refuses to "try"

Luke 11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened........

felixomor:
There is a point in trying, because destiny can be changed.
So many destinies have been changed and will continue to be changed.

freecocoa:
Because you don't discuss sex with an 11 years old.

freecocoa:
Stup1d doesn't even begin to describe this woman.

felixomor:
So try another one.
Afterall Christ said those he called, he predestined - Romans 8

So maybe its not your destiny.

Not surprising. With the darkness that envelopes the nation, ordinary light will be a miracle. Up NEPA.

It is pointless to even reply this. This is just one of nairalands many attempts to belittle christianity and God and also encourage people to become atheists. Nairaland is very good at that. Hardly does a day go by without them showing us threads of perverted pastors and christians. I believe they should just come out of their shell and officially make the forum an atheist forum!!! Crap!!!
