Dude doesn't hide it ... Almost 90% of his posts is focused on terrorizing enlightening Christians

Hmmmmmm! I see.

bloodofthelamb:
Bravo!

Atheist don't really know that where their scientific and logical wisdom ends that is really where our wisdom began.

Supernatural Wisdom in CHRIST.


Hahaha! laughing in the HOLY SPIRIT.

Where hv pple like u been that these guys were all over me?

godisgood200:
So the pastors turned you to an atheists?

Help me ask am o

hopefulLandlord:
I'm an atheist because when it comes to scrutinising a claim, one should start with the null hypothesis then arrive at a reasonable conclusion after examining evidences

I believe there is no god because the null hypothesis starts me from there, and it's up to believers to demonstrate that their god proposition is true.

When anybody can:
1. Provide a coherent definition of what they mean by "god"

2. Provide empirically testable predictions of that god, and show that these predictions are true

3. Show that this god is more parsimonious than all other natural explanations

I'll (at least tentatively) accept that a god exists. So far, none of these requirements have come anywhere close to being met, and I can reasonably assert that the proposition of a god existing is likely false.

Not every belief can pass through ur tests. Just as you don't hv a scientific undertone to every occurrence on earth. The world we live in is full of different phenomenons. Those scientists can prove, and those they can't. The ones they can prove they call facts,the ones they can't they call myths. Scientists and theorists are limited themselves in their understanding of the world and cover up by leaving questions such as urs to prove phenomenons beyond them.

segunojo866:
Lolz. Statistics show that religion has caused more demage than good. So your point is baseless

And does that sound logical? The fact that many religious beliefs exist and with various orientations does that mean every single one is evil? Isn't that hasty generalisation? They don't preach d same doctrine and shld not be condemned collectively. Just as not all Atheist hv the same ideology.

GloryIsaac:
It's simply because the owner is an atheist .

Just like,

Fulani President = Fulanis get to have fun and express themselves in anyway they seem fit, also bold enough to challenge any opposition.

Atheist NL Owner = Atheist finally get to have fun without much fear of backlash and are bold enough to drag it out with any opposition.


Simple logic , Imagine if S..eun was an open supporter of the LGBT community , you'll be amazed at what you might see here

Only difference is that Atheists are winning more converts here whereas you can't switch your roots to Fulani if you weren't born into one, at best, servant.

Cc Ronpet777

Hahahahaha! Finally getting answers to my questions. It is getting obvious what d major ideological belief is,but how sure are u that the 'owner' of NL is an Atheist?

hopefulLandlord:
You dodged my own question bro

Which question in particular?

To prove my curiosity, no single Christian has commented nor has a Muslim submitted an opinion.
Does this mean Christians and Muslims and other religious pple have nothing to say or fear being overrun by atheists and their idiosyncrasy? Pls come and defend ur belief logically without fuss. This is a big enlightenment avenue.

hopefulLandlord:
I respect the believer but NOT the belief, people make the mistake of thinking both are the same but they're actually very different

The religious have a hard time separating themselves from their beliefs. To them, their beliefs are a part of them, and any criticism or attack on their beliefs is an attack on them. Many of them have been indoctrinated from a young age, not only with their beliefs, but also to be wary of anyone who would try to convince them to abandon their beliefs or even critically analyze them

I expect people to not only question my beliefs, but ridicule them when they're ridiculous. Someone who lets me keep believing the moon is made of green cheese isn't doing me any favors at all.
Imagine I tell you that I believe in Blue Space Monkeys who rule the universe, and they will cause humanity great harm, unless you give me all your money, no questions asked. Would you say Ok, I respect your beliefs?

The bottom line is that I am obligated to respect the right of everyone to hold an opinion different from my own. This I do very diligently. I am not, however, obligated to respect the opinion itself and am also free to criticize anything proposed in the arena of ideas.

Well spoken... But a question to u now is which is ur belief. Can u kindly convince me to share ur belief? How did the world come to exist and mankind itself?

hopefulLandlord:
Yes I have put witchcraft and wizardry to the test and found it wanting, I now fear a herbalist clubbing me to death or taking my name down and sending hired killers to me than he making is meaningless and useless incantations

Great people of old have been proven wrong on many things, they didn't even know where the sun went at night; you now have access to more information in a day than the great people of old have in a lifetime

this is strawman, no one has stated the world creating itself

Then help out, how did it come to be I How did d world evolve?

Where there is light darkness cannot stand, where the truth and knowledge reign ignorance cannot prevail. Nairaland has helped brought knowledge to many. The reason why religion reign supreme is because we Africans don't read or we are too lazy to. Even with the advent of the internet were you can get any info you want at the tip of your finger, many will choose to Facebook, Twitter and argue politics or discuss sex.
A simple search in the history of the world will show there thousands of belief systems Bourne out ignorance or just simply put men trying to explain the world based on their understanding. Let's take the most popular religion in the world Christianity.
Now Christianity and Islam are both an offshoot of the Jewish religion, and the Jewish religion which makes up the old testament is riddled in myths which are originated from both pre Jewish and similar belief surrounding the then Israel nation.
Many people take the Bible of genesis as the only true account of creation, now I break that into two parts.

First part, there are a lot of pre Abraham or pre Moses account of similar creation from other ancient cultures trying to explain how the world was made. These tales can be found in the Egyptians and Mesopotamia stories, but the major difference is while they attribute their own to many gods and also try to explain how the gods came about, but the Jewish one is came in later tried to modified to a single god

2. Multiple accounts same story. While today we only know of singular Bible books of old testament, but a simple search will reveal that we have multiple accounts of the same story some that will even make you laugh.

Today even scholars from Israel knows that some part of the Bible is pure fiction they are only trying to find out how far back can be establish as real history.

Though some people say they are atheist because it gives them freedom to act without their conscience pricking to such people, I think religion is very important because it helps to keep some people in check.

But for a rational being you think before you act, and you never do anything to hurt your fellow man, you will never hurt nature and all therein

U r making a whole lot of sense bro...

hopefulLandlord:
Witchcraft and Wizardry is on the same level as Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Amadioha; they remain imaginary and myths believed to be true for so long that they got institutionalised


Get back to my three points up there and do something about it

But hv u dared to see for urself the authenticity of these claims without the cloak of ur scientific hypothetical views? We don't need scientific mombo jombo to prove things. Africans from the start have always known there exist a supreme being the maker of all and so hv great pple the world over. But some scholars for d sakeof d popularity that comes with propelling a controversial claim came up with multiple theories to prove the world was created by itself.

Lalasticlala, we need comprehensive analysis and ideas on this controversial yet interesting and enlightening topic.

I believe u r not a robot and not dogmatic to theoretical factors for concluding a proof. The so-called professor who helped in propounding d jargons that make up a proof will only present d obvious and keep to himself the intuitional conclusion. My question to u is this, can u honestly tell me that if anything doesn't perfectly satisfy ur outlined hypothesis such thing is not believed and hereby discarded by u? Then u r obviously ignorant of the world u live in. U think wizardry and witch craft can be scientifically proven?

Trump's mouth, is his Achilles Heel.
It is not surprising that they attribute every hateful comment to him.

GloryIsaac:
.

And this means?

The atheists r always given free pass to hv a go at any religious thread.But the point is, do u really consider every religious person not knowledgeable enough, or really not enlightened and emancipated from ideological shackles

Colleverage:
ask your ole pastors

I hv never needed a pastor to tell me that. I choose to hear ur view bro...

dalaman:
The question again. How did you get to know that God exist? Tell me because I will like to know.

Y not let's go d question and answer way? I asked u a question while answering urs. Go ahead and answer while I provide mine.
God does exist obviously apart from what nature shows and d unbroken order of nature but yet, d fact that we followers hv tried him just as Elijah in the Christian Bible dared Him to send down fire and He did. I hv seen things happen in my very eyes in the name of God.

Blakjewelry:
Because it is medium of learning and Enlightenment

Enlighten me more bro...

dalaman:
How did you get to know that God exist?

Isn't it obvious enough Hv u really thought abt d beginning of all things Do u really mean u haven't seen things happen in the name of God that will naturally never happen

Never in my life hv I seen a collection of people who so vehemently resist any comment that ascribe glory and praise to God until I joined NL. I used to believe d idea was completely foreign until I joined Nairaland and realised they almost outnumber we the believers in God the creator of all.

I am not creating this to oppose such thought process which I felt was just theoretical as I know science tend to call anything they don't have proof of Mythical.

But for an African person who has probably heard from reliable sources things that happen in the spiritual and the existence of God who does things when his followers call him in whichever name they knw him as, to still believe there is no God, goes far beyond me.
Cud there be any special reasons why so many Nairalanders are Atheists who have no affiliation to religion and doubt the existence of God

Can Nigerian sadist lecturers hear this Some of them take delight in their students' failure.

In Conte we trust. Common Chelsea!

Childishness of the highest order.

adepeter2027:
Fvck that God and his Holy spirit.
Fxck men of God as well.

Bondage fire

A round of applause for u sir. I can tell what ur life looks like from d tone of ur write-up. I knw ur ilks will urge u on here, but if u don't begin to realise u were created by someone and kept alive by same, u r so doomed. Ur reasoning will help u to be wiped away with whatever generation shld come from u. U foOl!!!

The errors there are afonja english.

They translate their language directly into english and spit it out without reffining, hence the error.

Must we always ply this route ? Must we always be offensive to make sense?No tribe is above mistakes sir!

Very educative and informative.I learnt a lot although I am quite aware of many of them.
