I don't know at all. While I vehemently condemn the death penalty, I am at a loss of words to describe any other fitting punishment for them.

UyiIredia:
There is no dead center in this issue. You either believe in God or you don't. Babies aren't atheists, using your logic animals and rocks are atheists which is silly.

UyiIredia:
It isn't a position precisely because of that. If you claim that God is unknown or unknowable, you haven't told me whether you believe in God or not. It's not uncommon for Christians to say God is unknowable or mysterious. And As I said, deists and atheists can be agnostic about their belief or lack of. So if one claims to be agnostic, the question of what type of agnostic the person is, agnostic theist, deist or atheist and unfortunately many so-called agnostics are atheists who don't believe in a God.

UyiIredia:
First off, being agnostic isn't a position. You can be agnostic and still be a theist, a deist or an atheist. That said, being a Christian doesn't mean you must believe every Tom, Dick and Harry with a Bible that claims to work miracles.

Euthanasia is a political issue which has over the time involved various religious groups, it is not an intra but inter religious disagreement based on each groups sacred text. The point of my over analysis is to return the favor since you mentioned 'your mother', i dont like to think of mine in the mouth of lions, ok?

Look it up and also answer why you think humans should be given value when it was a creation of nothing and serves no purpose. Those who eat their neighbor meant no harm, they only wanted to ameliorate their hunger, what is wrong with that?

Assuming I were a Theist, my answer will be 'on the basis of my religious affiliation which denounces both' it is not necessarily because they are both now a crime against the state

You have not been able to show that atheism has a common definition or measuring standard for what is morally good and bad, hence you cant as a atheist tell me lying is wrong.

superior1:
That will be a delimma when you do not subscribe to a faith, mainstream religions have teachings that can be inferred on in that peculiar case and by the way, if you have a gun, why not shoot to atleast to scare the lions instead of killing your mother, how come your mother ended up among lions, how come you exhausted your bullets without adequate contingency plans

If I ask you to define what you meant by basic human values, you will give a subjective definition (unless of cause, you refer to the state constitution we have both agreed is inadequate), some culture treat their neighbors, others eat their neighbors and to say one is better compare to the other is a baseline for ethnocentrism.

superior1:
The issue is empirically speaking; there is nothing like universal moral standard. If we are to follow atheism, all moral issues are relative and there is no commonly adopted moral compass, therefore moral can only be an abstract philosophy as all I need do is follow the law of the land which unfortunately cant handle the complexity of the human society eg, there is no law against me telling lies, sleeping with every consenting women etc. The overall implication is, all these vices cannot be judged good nor bad or do you know any law against lying?

Joagbaje:
What is bestuality? It's defined in this scripture

Exodus 22:19
"Anyone having sexual relations with an animal shall certainly be executed.

An initial progenitor doesn't have to be remote. It could have been a powerful palm tree, for all I know. Maybe it was a much smaller universe. But to say that the universe has always existed is wrong. There is no precedence for it unless you're coming with solid evidence.

OLAADEGBU:
What is a mystery to you is a revelation to those who know the One who has all the answers.

OLAADEGBU:
It can be scientifically proved that the universe was created if you care to know

KingEbukasBlog:
The universe is not on its own. Planets , stars , matter , space etc make up the universe .

KingEbukasBlog:
Religion has been seen as an obstacle/barrier preventing man from having a vast knowledge of the universe . So these theories are like breaking the religion barrier. I hope you now get why I used atheistic and not scientific , not that it is wrong to use the latter.

KingEbukasBlog:
The universe cannot be eternal - ageless , no time-effect . Meaning there is no age of its content such as earth . Atheistic theories of life formation such as cosmic and biological evolution would then be ridiculed by your assertion.

Weah96:
I wouldn't say creator, I prefer to use the phrase initial progenitor. A creator implies a labcoat type personality and there is no basis for making that assumption. Our universe had an origin. The argument is about the nature of that origin.

OLAADEGBU:
In other words, your coconut head cannot fathom.

OLAADEGBU:
How was the universe originally created?

OLAADEGBU:
If there was no God there will be no atheists. Figure that out.

Why would an unbeliever be spending her time discussing Christianity?

@Johnnydon the Atheist crew.
The reason why I say u guys are tormented by the idea of hell is that, you guys are always here commenting on all senselessness of religion. If I were an Atheist, I won't bother with anything religion. Like u said, its all bullshit. So what will I be doing with this bullshit every now and then? I won't even be in the religion section. But you guys are always here why?

Anas09:
Hell is not meant for man. You don't have to end there. But it appears nairalanders, especially the Atheist are tomented by the thoughs of going to hell more than anything esle. Its very simple. Accept christ and let God help u.
Seriously, if you don't believe in God, then don't believe in hell. So don't join the discussions. Its lame.

Lmfao! you need ears to hear God and spiritual things rotfl.
