but bros dont tell me that you do not know that JESUS CAME AND TOOK US BACK BY TAKING OUR PLACE FOR ALL THE SINS WE COMMITTED...BY HIS CROSS

I don't see how sinning against God makes the human race the legal property of some fallen angel, such that God wouldn't be able to simply take us back anytime without having to pay any price for us. If God didn't sell us to Satan, then he didn't need to buy us back from Satan.

We see alot of New online Atheist demand for proof of God's existence, but can they even prove their mums existence is not a figment of their imagination?

Absolute proof is only possible in mathematics and related philosophical fields. For everything else, the best you can do is prove something beyond any reasonable doubt, using the best evidence you can find. Proving that anybody's mom exists beyond any reasonable doubt is trivial.

God effectively canceled Satan’s ownership of all the human race.

How did Satan come to own the human race? Did God sell the human race to him at some point? If not, why couldn't God just take us back?

Astrology has proven to an extent evident. I think the cosmos particularly stars alignment especially at time of birth influence one's personality.

What? This is false! Astrology has been tested many times and found to be wrong on every occasion. This wikipedia article explains everything.

Jesus with detail of his purpose was predicted and supposedly located first by astrologers

This doesn't support astrology. Rather, it discredits the bible. It shows that the gospel story was fabricated in the mind of a superstitious person.

What's now the difference between you and the religious ones? you keep calling each other darkness and calling yourselves light.

The difference is that he is likely to be right, because his position is based on evidence and logic, while their position is based on blind faith.

The difference between you and the religious is that your nature of intelligence is contrary to theirs.

It's not about intelligence. It's about rationality, skepticism, intellectual honesty, scientific education, etc. Religious people can have high IQs.

benny4wax:
Does it mean followership is more important than what is right and that benefits the society.

All other things being equal, the benefit to society is directly proportional to the number of people watching.

Pls post actual pictures of your kittens.

I think this is Atlantic Mackerel (a.k.a Titus in Nigeria) not Horse Mackerel (a.k.a Kote in Nigeria).
You would have to somehow recreate the seawater conditions under which this fish normally grows.

Pictures?

How many times have you been in "danger"? When white men generalise you black men as inferior to them you will try to get offended

Apologies. Most Muslims are peace-loving, but the number of non-peace-loving Muslims is high enough to make debating Muslims very risky, particularly in muslim-dominated places like northern Nigeria. Was a pastor's wife not killed recently for the 'crime' of preaching? Imagine that.

It's because more people watch big brother naija. If you can create something wholesome and educative that lots and lots of people want to watch, you'll get a lot of money. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire probably falls into that category.

@avaa: Most importantly, never debate muslims. Once they start losing they will find something to be "offended" about and you'll be in danger.

Irrespective of the knowledge I have acquired. Irrespective of how hard I have tried to disapprove God, something in me keep drawing me to the supernatural. Seun, deep down, you know the truth.

This is the power of childhood indoctrination. Things you were taught as a kid just feel so right and normal somehow. That's how it works.

@LiberaDeus: I agree with you on almost every point. People make a lot of sacrifices for religion and get only empty promises in return. It's a monumental waste of resources, and people need to know that they can do without it. But I don't think I would want to hide my beliefs from someone I am dating, unless I'm not looking for anything serious with that person. If she can't handle it, then it was never going to work.

@hopefulLandlord: Striving to be known for something positive before people learn that you're an atheist is a super idea; thanks for sharing it.

Young Christian men of today whom are porn and fornication addicts slowly @and subconsciously invent the doctrine of "No God" so that they can be free within to commit their sins.

Nobody needs to abandon Christianity just because he/she want to fornicate or watch porn. Most fornicators and porn watchers in Nigeria are Christians or Muslims, not atheists. All you have to do as a Christian is to ask God for forgiveness after committing the 'sin'. Alternatively, you can focus on the parts of the bible that you like, and ignore the parts of the bible that condemn your lifestyle. Atheism isn't needed for this at all.

Having said that, I think it is actually a good thing to abandon religion so that you can "commit sins" that are not harmful to anybody as often as you like. If your religion says that ice cream is evil, and you know that ice cream is awesome, you have the right to leave because, clearly, a religion that forbids you from drinking delicious ice cream cannot be the true religion. If you're a Jehovah's Witness and you desperately need a blood transfusion to save your life, you have every right to realize right then that a religion that wants to orphan your children cannot be true.

1stMD:
Of course it is, and:
Christianity from CHRIST
Buddhism from BUDDHA

Okay..

Sikhism from GURU NANAK

How?

etc but ONLY ISLAM FROM ALMIGHTY GOD

Islam means "submission". The word not derived from God as far as I can tell. The premise of this thread is wrong.

I wish the woman had the chance to learn something from your encounter, but she did not even learn the meaning of the word "agnostic".

Booster works well with my dogs. If he can't get any of those , he should dig deep for royal canine dog food or look for k9 favourite dog food.

Interesting! You're the first person to report a good experience with it. Can you share your experience with Booster dog food on this thread? Like what you were feeding them before switching to Booster, and what you had/have to do to get them to eat it consistently. I have a bag of the thing and that I'm in the process of figuring out the most efficient way to make my dog eat it. What do You think of the smell?
