They said atheists are intelligent because they reject religion but is atheism the rejection of religion ? And on what rational grounds do they reject the existence of God ?




I also have researches that show that atheism has devastating effects on the brain . 7 researches actually . You can care to check them out here

https://www.nairaland.com/3493419/researches-reveal-atheism-devastating-effects

So in other words, you have NO studies that show that theists are more intelligent than atheists, then why were u lying

KingEbukasBlog:
Copious studies have shown that theists are more intelligent than atheists . Even in MENSA , just 3 percent of the high IQ society are Atheists . Only 10 percent of Nobel Prize Laureates are atheists , deists , agnostics combined and 90 percent are theists . Science and philosophy which have helped the progress of human development intellectually were all founded by theists and contributions were largely made by theists .

Your "research" has no base in reality . What atheists have is what is called illusory superiority , in this case you are overestimating your intellectual abilities . You need studies based on conjectures and ignorance for self validation . Petty .

This is. Very simple, post links to the studies that show that theists are more intelligent than atheists. These are some links proving mine

And I Wonder why you omitted the second part of my post.... On what merit do we accept the bible as the truth

KingEbukasBlog:
This bespeaks of vacuity . If you didn't care you wouldn't have googled it and rushed to present it as evidence .



The trick used by the website is to list the General Overseers of popular churches and attach to them random guesses of what their net worths . Can you provide evidence that they appraised their assets , investments etc to get those figures ? Can you provide evidence that actual investigations were carried out ? I've been a blogger since 19 I can easily tell what is credible and what is mendacious .

This is why no one considers atheists as intelligent people .




The age of the bible is irrelevant . Its fallacious to impugn a conclusion or argument based on the age or its origin of its source . The truth should be accepted based on merit .

Do you really believe your lies will become true if you repeat them frequently? Copious studies have shown that atheists are generally more intelligent than theists .... But if it makes you feel better to pretend otherwise, then OK.

Also, you say the Truth should be accepted on merit, on what merit should we accept the Bible as the Truth

What kind of shallowness is this bikonu ?

Where is the data that was used to prove that he is worth 8 million dollars ? Where is the breakdown of his net worth? These ignorant atheists that don't understand how the internet works . An empty website looking for traffic pens down rubbish and you rushed to it and brought it here as evidence ? Are you okay at all ? Do you know what evidence is? No wonder what they are only good at is screaming there is no evidence of God when they themselves don't know what evidence is . JackBizzle , CoolUsername and now randomperson can't provide credible evidence to prove their claims because they don't understand what evidence is .

If you expect anyone to give you a complete analysis of how your pastor makes his money ,you are on a long thing. Even Forbes wouldn't do that.. All the other sites' lists are consistent with that list, unless you are. Saying all the other sites are empty sites too

Do u know your pastor's worth? I don't think so. Yet, you would happily go and be rolling in the mud when he tells you to.

KingEbukasBlog:
My GO is one of the richest pastors in Nigeria ? Please tell us his net worth and provide evidence . Being religious does not mean they believe in God . And most of the poor countries have high Muslim population not Christian .

http://www.takemetonaija.com/2017/04/ten-richest-pastors-in-nigeria-2017-and.html?m=1

Your GO's worth is $8 .million.... The list is consistent with all other sites...

Lemme ask you.. When you people are rolling in the mud, does your GO join you in rolling in the mud.? I guess not

.maybe next time he asks you to roll in the mud, you will understand why he doesn't join, the man is worth millions of dollars for f.uck's sake...


The three poorest countries , CAR, Burundi and Liberia are mainly dominated by Christianity. Some Islamic countries are among the richest in the world

KingEbukasBlog:
In my Church , the poor are well taken of . In atheist countries like North Korea , they are sent to death camps or forced to work themselves to death while working for the goverment . Poverty rate in atheist countries are also incredibly high .

Christians own 56 percent of the world's wealth while Christianity has the most millionaires in the world . 

Ignorance is a disease

Are there poor people in your church ? Yes or no.

Your GO is one of the richest pastors in Nigeria,, yet there are poor people in your church.

And the poorest countries in the world are deeply religious countries, most of them have high Christian population

bennyann:
Any reason for that? And I hope you don't wish that to happen to me?

Of course, I don't wish that to happen to you...
Life isn't fair, the best things don't always happen to the best people and also, people assume because their partner is God's will, then it's sure they will have a happy home

davtosh:
They always end up with good homes though atimes it might come late. But late goog marriages are better than early marriages ending in divorce afterwards

Good Christian girls don't always end up with good men, whether early or late..... Even the ones who marry pastors

Chelseafan1:
Raumdeuter, according to your logic on goals scored and assists, who is the better player between CR7 and Messi?

Messi still has a superior goal and assists per match average... So whatever arguments you are trying to make is dead on arrival

I f*cking love Max, her sense of humour is out of this world.... That chef is irritating tho and Caroline can be annoying

Image123:
So how do you know or feel that He is not a good God if you have no idea of a good God? For instance, i have never seen the gearbox of a space shuttle before(if it has one). i am not in position to state that one is good or bad. That you are just a random person does not mean that you cannot afford to be rational. Do think. Love is not only connected to copulation, grow up. Do you love your parents, dad, mum, brother, sister? Is it because you cop.ulate?

What idiocy are you spitting all over my mention... You claim your god is good yet he kills babies... And you're talking about copulation

KingEbukasBlog:
Oh brother . There are so many people who take the creation story as an allegory . Even before modern scientific evidence backed theism , theologians believed the sixth-day creation shouldn't be taken literary . First it was Jewish scholar Philo of Alexandria in the first century and then Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo also made the same observation in the 4th century

How does this answer his question? He asked for bible verse that shows that God orchestrated evolution, you're giving example of people who believe the creation story was allegory.... Nawa 4u

Aizenosa:
In the heavens is there sun stars or moon, no my dear.

We're not speaking of heaven, we're talking about earth... So where did the light come from

CatfishBilly:
Lol, so you're not one
Hardmirror is a legend though, outside of Nairaland here, i.e Facebook, he is being credited with helping a lot of people embrace their atheism.

I really dont care much about labels, am i an atheist. Definitely. But I feel that atheism is purely a philosophical position, I feel humanism is what we should be arguing for...... L

When I joined nairaland, I was still a committed Christian.. But it was not actually the arguments of atheists that made me rethink my beliefs, it was the response of Christians... Most of the time, the responses were not actual rebuttals, just statements like you dont question god or you dont understand the bible....
One particular meme depicting the bears mauling the children that insulted Elisha. That meme really made me uncomfortable and no theist could justify that act, that's when I started asking questions and creating my own threads, and then I got tagged as an atheist

airmark:
Klopp was talking about the league. Ancelotti also said he would win burndesliga without removing hands from his pocket and he has proved it. Laliga doesnt comprise real, atm, barca alone. It includes 16 more teams. Klopp and pep know how easy to deal with these other 16 teams in laliga and bundesliga, compared to how strenuous it is in epl. You cant find the mean of 19 variables by working with just the first 4. Analyse the domestic league from number 1 to number 19. Stop telling us about barca and real, when we all know there are bums like osasuna in laliga that are not better than ikorodu utd.

Shekpe fans tho.....
What is your proof that the lower teams in LA liga are not as good as the ones in premiership? Nada!

Image123:
You're yet to produce an example of a good god, whatever that means. His approval doesn't change anything because you are on your own if you act same way. The command and plan is to copy and follow Jesus as author and finisher of your faith, not Elisha.
I'm not competing for strongest conviction, duh. The fact remains that God is still God, I'm still in love with Jesus, and you are still just random.

Example of a good God? That's silly since I don't believe gods exist...

And I don't know why you keep repeating that you're in love with Jesus, is your name Gay- briel?

felixomor:
And i guess homosexuality that causes HIV and cancer are not public hazards in that same country?

Anyways, these things have been foretold.


John 16:2 They shall put young out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

I officially give up on you... As Winner's chapel mantra goes, "Your case is different."

Image123:
implying how? What if God approved of the killing or not, that's the point. His approval or disapproval doesn't change anything. He's still God, you're still a random fellow going to hell fire, I'm still in love with Jesus.

His approval does change something.. It shows he's not a good god...

And making statements like, "he's still god", you're still in love with Jesus and other bull-shit doesnt change anything.... Your conviction is not stronger than the Jehovah witnesses' or that of boko haram and Isis terrorists, it's just as ridiculous.. In fact, if the strength of convictions determined the truth of something, then, you're definitely a candidate of hell fire

Image123:
Elisha is not God, terrorists are sinners just like you. You are both children of the same father, slaves to sin, and inching closer to the same destiny except you repent.

Did god approve of the killing, yes or no..... Implying that God could not stop the tragedy from happening is saying god is not omnipotent

Image123:
Who cares, I don't. You the busybody shouldn't either. You should be more concerned about following Jesus Christ. What do you benefit if i told you that the action was right or wrong? You want to emulate Elisha, start with healing a leper or something.

You should.... Closing your eyes to apparent wicked acts of your god is what enables terrorists to bomb a church without feeling bad about it

Image123:
This is over flogged. The point though is that Jesus should be the author and finisher of your faith. Of all the 1001 things Elisha did, you are yet to reproduce or copy one, so i wonder if you want to copy this one or what. Follow Jesus, you will not miss it that way.

But god who is Jesus appointed Elisha, so he must have supported or endorsed that action. Right?

The league is not made up of barca , ATM and madrid alone. We have Granada, osasuna and other yeye teams. We are talking about the league as a whole. Real and barca use most of the remaining teams for sparring in preparation for ucl matches every season. Chelsea sends our kids on loan to play la liga matches regularly. I couldn't believe kakuta could be playing laliga.

There are only two tournaments where Epl and LA liga teams face each other and the laliga teams have generally humiliated their English counterparts.... Even bundesliga has a better record than epl...
Most of the best players in EPL were second rate players in LA liga.. Silva, Costa, fabregas, aguero, IBRA, DA gea, yaya, ... While LA liga has consistently taken the best from EPL, from henry, to ruud, Ronaldo, bale, Suarez, hazard's next....

EPL has only produced one ballon d'or winner in its entire existence... Shame!

airmark:
After those epl teams have burnt themselves out with many tough matches domestically. Messi yet to score one goal in as many matches against Chelsea though.



Messi yet to score one goal against Chelsea in ucl. Chelsea's punching bag, Leicester knocked out laliga's top team, sevilla .

How many EPL teams are in UCL semi finals?

enshy:
Your response wearies me.
Did Elisha kill 42 children?
He gave a pronunciation, it came to pass and only a man of authority does that.
And you compared that with someone who killed with the Knife? When the Police arrests him, he can tell he learnt it from Elisha.
Pls you dont comment on all threads, learn also from the Wise!
cc hopefulandlord or hopefullandlord

Mehn, this is ridiculous...
Lemme ask you these questions:
"Why did god choose a person who is capable of making such terrible pronunciation?
Why did god stand by and let the children be torn to pieces by the bears...
And if Elisha didn't kill the children who did?

enshy:
As your moniker, your analysis has no specific direction, its on random motion!
You just muddled up a decent response from the lady.
Isnt Elisha a man of authority? Is the guy with the knife a man of authority?
Your comparisons are as random also...

What kind of nonsense distinction is this? So a man of authority has the right to kill 42 children??

The existence of multiple denominations that have contradictory doctrines and beliefs goes further to prove that Christianity is a sham. You all claim to have the same holy spirit but your holy spirit can't make up his mind?

MZLady39:
So you're trying to say that it's not a sin to "call down curses on people because a prophet of God did it correct?

Certain circumstances demand certain actions.
Motive is important.

There was a reason for this. Clearly, the Lord was with Elisha when he did this.
One size does not fit all....

OMG!! What kind of twisted minds do Christians have?

So your god and Elisha are okay with brutally murdering children??
So if your son makes jest of a person and the guy brings out a knife and slits his throat, u'll just give the person a warm handshake??
Mehn! That's psychopathic

KingEbukasBlog:
Let me deign to your level and think like you just this once . Our cars generators produce carbon mono oxide which is deleterious to our health . Because this harmful gas released as waste can even kill us therefore cars , generators have no creators ?

Sarin is a dangerous chemical weapon and was recently used by President Assad on the Syrians . Because it has devastating effects on the health therefore Sarin is not a product of intelligent design ?



Its an honor to be in the same category with felixomor . Thank you

Now you're beginning to sound silly...
The people who created cars are not omnipotent... If they could have made cars without the side-effects, they would have.... What excuse does your god have?

Lordemperoris100:
Lol

arecu joking

MESSI is a boss sha

but nowhere near greats like Pele maradons and CR7

Lol.. CR7?? Please...

Someone who stays in the box waiting for tap-ins... I didn't know that tap-ins are now the hallmark of greatness

Westmorland:
Mumu of the highest order. I pray u don't die like one those the op mentioned. God saved me from a bike accident where I was unconscious for almost 24 hours.

Who asked you for story now?.... God saved u but couldn't or didn't want to save the victims of boko haram attacks

An2elect2:
Who knows if God will have mercy on my family like he did to me! That's my prayer everyday And God's sovereign will will prevail cos that's my delight

So it's totally possible that God decides NOT to have mercy on your family.... Mehn, that's both partial and wicked
