Go and tell your dad your real identity. Stop hiding behind the pages of Nairaland. Man up and speak up. I am sure you atheists claim to be the most honest and the most honorable yet you have been nothing but to a deceiver to your family and a liar.

Tell them the truth if you can and stop disturbing others about what you are afraid of declaring openly even to your family.

Why not man up and face the arguments... Or are your reasoning abilities falling short?... First, it was the mortality rate argument, u ran away from that one and tried to rile me up by bringing in whether I tell my parents or not, I showed u why it's actually consideration that's stopping me but you can't counter with reason so u resort to name calling?? if u have a response constructed with common sense, just post them.
Am not interested in an unproductive conversation with someone with inferior intelligence

4everGod:
In Nigeria loads of kids call him Father Christmas others know him as santa claus. However they know he isnt real. Most of them grow out of it and intelligently discern he is not real despite them experiencing Chrismas every year.

For God the reverse is the case...They often grow INTO God and desire to know Him more and more and that is due to a deliberate spiritual vacuum God left in us. Some try to fill this vacuum using science but it falls short because several scientists have embraced God despite their very deep scientific exposures.

There are Billions who have sworn allegiance to God worldwide but not so for your Childhood fantasy called Santa.

Santa has no spirituality attached to him. God does. If you cannot tell the difference then i guess you must still be 10yrs old and still hanging a leg of your sock on your bedpost on Christmas eve.

Another difference... Father Christmas actually gives children gifts, he has something to offer. Your god offers nothing, except the occasional smashing of his people's heads

4everGod:
On the contrary let me spell it out for you..

What makes you so wimpy that you cannot muster up the courage to tell your pastor father whom you freely use his vocation to explain how pastors rape minors yet cannot tell him you are his atheist son?

If you are bold enough to attack everyone on social media and call them derogatory names then surely you should be bold enough to walk up your dad like a boss and tell him that you are an atheist?

You claim not to be able to do this because you "trust him". Lmao

Shouldnt trust enable you tell the one you claim to trust EVERYTHING?

Oh wait.... We are not discussing mortality rate anymore?? Guess you don't have any response
Well, while I don't have to explain myself to you, amma say this. Telling my dad my lack of belief will not serve any purpose, just create unnecessary tension in the house and give them hbp because they are scared I will go to hell fire... That's not being wimpy, that's being considerate... I guess you won't know anything about that since u claim a group of kids that disrespect a man deserve to be torn to pieces by wild animals

4everGod:
*facepalm* so much for intelligence when he cannot quickly following a discussion and know where the ball is bouncing to and who sent it bouncing.

Lemme spell it out for you... People averagely live longer and die less often than they used to in the past and this is due to science... Can u dispute that with facts?? Or the only thing you can come up with is facepalm?

4everGod:
All pastors are trusted yeah? Guess you do not trust your dad enough to let him know he has an atheist son.

It's because I trust my dad that am not telling him and BTW I don't see how it's any of your business

4everGod:
The same lying science?

Ignorance is no excuse

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/may/25/rural-idyll-boots-life-expectancy

https://www.sundaypost.com/inside-the-sunday-edition/life-expectancy-is-longer-in-countryside-than-city-according-to-study/

I said science has reduced mortality rate. How do those links refute my claim

4everGod:
So if Pastors are too trusted is your dad not on the list of pastors? If you would use the analogy of rapes being carried out by pastors when your dad is one am i wrong to also put your dad under the same umbrella?

Statically speaking, acts of rape around the world are carried out in the ratio of 10million to 1...1 being the clergy but since they are seen by all more light is shone on them and nobody says much about the others who are far more of which atheists also fall into the group.

All pastors are trusted, not every pastor betrays that trust... How is that difficult to understand??
And plss this 10 million to 1 stat, where is the evidence?

4everGod:
Dont mind the guy he is still a kid so a log of ignorance hovers around him. The rural dwellers have not been exposed to a lot of chemicals or genetically enhanced junk food.

Places like china or india who still rely a lot on fresh herbs live to see 120 years easily and he is here talking about science as if science was the preserver of life even before it came to the scene.

Next time try to rely on facts they are literally a click away

Pidgin2:
Hmmm how so, historical facts show that people also lived long in the past.

Google is your friend... If u are not aware that mortality rate is significantly lower

4everGod:
Why should i believe your dad is a good man when you said,

[b][/b]

Your Dad should be in that number shouldnt he? If he is not then why criticize Pastors when your dad isnt culpable?

Are you confused?

Try to use common sense or are u allergic to it?? Where did I say all pastors?? Pastors are too trusted so there is a high possibility of betrayal of that trust...
Is this a phobia for thinking or just a general dislike??

4everGod:
If our Religious Brilliance wearies you then the door is a click away. Surely you know how that works here. Sometimes words are a waste of intellect so perhaps a visual aid such as a video would assist the irrationality and sub intelligence of you lot.

Religious brilliance.. Wtf..
The video was not relevant to the issues raised, or u need someone to explain that comment to you?? Maybe prayer has numbed your powers of comprehension

4everGod:
@ randomperson i asked you a question please answer it since you claim pastors are vile yet your father is one. Care to enlighten us?

My dad is a very good man... He believes the gospel he preaches but that doesn't make it true

Acidosis:
What's your business with God and the Bible? Have you ever seen a Christian with a Qur'an or a Talisman with a Catholic rosary?

Why are you so obsessed with Christianity especially?

Oh... Am averse to falsehood and since there are many Christian around me, I have to put up with it every time. And yes I've seen a Christian with a Quran and vice versa. In fact, many of u are obsessed with disproving Islam so it's hypocritical toto criticize atheists for questioning Christianity.
I don't know why u are scared sef. If Christianity is the real deal, u shouldn't be afraid of questions na

Acidosis:
Of a truth, majority of them are mentally ill.


When aircraft (a science invention) crashes, they blame it on a god they don't believe in. When engineers fail to do their job properly and lives get wasted, they still blame it on a god they don't believe.

What else can make a man behave in this manner aside mental instability?

Really, they blame a plane crash on god?? U people fail to understand simple logic... If the all powerful God portrayed in the bible fails to protect them, then he doesn't exist...
And u theists like hypocrisy. Lemme ask you for example... If a person gives birth to a beautiful baby girl, it's God's doing, right? But when a person gives birth to a baby with down syndrome?? Whose fault is it?

An2elect2:
There is nothing wrong with science. Evil men have corrupted it like they have christendom

True and pure science is of God and every child of God should encourage it

True and pure science is of god?? Are u friggin' kidding me??

MrPRevailer:
Well that's left for Christians to discuss because it within our community.

And common sense will tell the sensible that in a basket of eggs there are good ones and bad ones. False Teachers and false pastor's. But fools have no understanding.

It's not left for Christians to discuss ooh... When your pastors rape their underage members and your elders molest young members, it's a crime and insults and offends our morality... It's not a Christian matter at all

MrPRevailer:
Please can you focus on blaming science for all its negative inventions, mishaps and nonchalant theories that have cost the lives of billions.

Wtf are u saying... Mortality rate has reduced drastically. There is a cure for malaria, there is vaccination against polio. The phone you are typing with is as a result of science... Tell me one thing your god has done for Christians, with evidence.

kevoh:
guess someone is not too good in keeping his promises!
cc : randomperson

God bless u... Oops! I meant the flying spaghetti monster, that one is more credible

Richirich713:
Watch this video - atheists brains don't function normal. I hope u guys seek help.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ii-bsrHB0o

I agree... In Nigeria, what counts as normal is blind, stupid and fanatical devotion to fairy tales. That's why your god is smashing heads all over the place and all u can do is post videos

Richirich713:
They mentally ill people searching for help.

Yh, atheists are the one with mental illness?? U believe in a god who stands by and looks while the heads of his followers are smashed to pieces. This after countless promises to protect them...
These same people pay a whole 10% of their earnings even in this recession to god and this is what they get... That many people are doing something doesn't mean it's not madness

MrPRevailer:
It is the fault of the Engineers yet some people have been programmed by the devil and maybe Seun to claim it's God and the Pastor's fault.
mtcheew.

But god promised his people that he will protect them now. Haven't u ever read Psalms 91?? At least he could have told the pastor that the tragedy will happen. Was he sleeping or the lives of those people was not special enough to be saved? These people were praising him for God's sake...

ambassagod:
No bro stop being gullible!

we can't allow out science to be faith based!!

There is every reason why we must ask for true empirical evidences in science. that's why it is not a religion but science!!

please, start learning.

This is idiocy... You are debunking a theory with science in favor of another theory based purely on faith... That's hypocrisy... That u believe something doesn't make it true

thesicilian:
Again?
With all due respect, I don't think God is in that church. Nobody ever died during one of Jesus Christ's gatherings, ad I am sure that anyone had died, He would have just raised them back to life. That church is fake. Yes, I have judged.

See them. Shameless Christians. Any church where people die now is a fake church. U forget that people going or coming from RCCG and Winners conventions also fall victim to accidents and armed robbers...
But why let the truth stand in the way of your hypocritical narrative

KingEbukasBlog:
There are a thousand and one bible verses that show them playing distinct roles

So when Moses saw god, be saw three people?

blueAgent:
Clown the richest countries in the world are also religeous. US ,UK,Germany,China. e.t.c

U lack knowledge. The richest countries are Luxembourg, Qatar, Switzerland, Norway, e.t.c
And how does that excuse god from the abject poverty in these countries... Or its only the Americans that deserve to be rich?

peachesandroses:
Hell balances heaven.

Hell is a different entity from heaven... Heaven exists by itself...

An2elect2:
If its for the sake of Christ. Why not? The Holyspirit is in us for a lot. He didnt forsake the apostles when they faced their glorious death; which is not death anyway but 'sleep' (taking off their mortal bodies) for they are still alive

Sake of Christ?? These people are not martyrs. No purpose is served by their death. If anything, it makes people question the veracity of the bible's claims... Or have u not read psalm 91?? Where God promised to protect u people?? Is the promise no more operative?
And na your kind they run if them hear boko haram

https://www.nairaland.com/2340563/why-did-god-kill-42#34158904

Look up this post. It answers your wrong assumption

Shalom

So god didn't kill them, but Elisha a prophet appointed by god did and god sat back and watched those bears devour them?? God is good, all the time
BTW, Elisha simply cursed those kids, god took it to the next level

An2elect2:
Christ died for all the beloved of God. His death was our death. In him we died to this world. How can we die again? We can only sleep.

First, it was "we are all safe", now it's " we can only sleep". U better make up your mind... And would u rather "go to sleep" by having your head smashed to pieces?

xtivin:
God searches the heart He knows your intention, Jesus never preached prosperity on earth, all we need is care for our want, the apostles warned against false doctrines to gain money.

He didn't promise poverty either. In fact, he told Christians not to worry that God will provide for them... So why are there Christians dying of hunger

An2elect2:
God has not killed any of His children either! We are all safe
You see everyman as God's beloved but God sees differently.

Are u sure about that? Are y'all really safe? Just yesterday scores of people lost their lives while worshiping him in his presence.... So am confused
