God please im tired cos there is noting to hold unto to live on. Im restless.

I'm pleased that your prayers were answered, though I would like to have some harsh words with your husband who made you feel so bad.

The phone/ipad you're using, i'm sure it created itself, right ?

Living things do build themselves, definitely. You were once nothing more than a microscopic single-celled fertilized egg but that egg took in food inside and outside the womb and built itself into an internet-literate adult. A satanist could take a cocoa seed and plant it in the ground while cursing God, yet that little seed will still grow into a lucrative plant if properly managed because God is not the one who makes seeds grow.

Living things like plants and animals do build themselves through the process of cell division. It's a natural process that doesn't require any divine intervention. The iPad has nothing to do with this. Clearly, it's not a living thing.

chisco82:
Oga Seun i have been following your jibs here about God, you called yourself an atheist,
You embraced creation and rejects the creator.

What makes you so sure that a creator exists? You haven't seen him or talked to him? You just believe because you were brought up that way.

Buddhism isn't about ending suffering for the whole world, it's about ending suffering for the people that practice it. Like if you feel depressed or terrible, Buddhism teaches you to let go of wants as they are the cause of your misery. Its aim is for its followers to achieve a life free from want. Which though hard isn't impossible for the individual to achieve.

So if you're poor, the solution isn't to get educated and be enterprising in order to be rich, but to stop wanting wealth and comfort? How unwise!

Here's a more serious answer. It's likely that you have a condition that causes your testicles to hurt at night. Maybe tiny insects on your bed bite them at night. Your brain incorporates the pain into your dream. When it's unbearable, you wake up. Try wearing freshly washed boxers and secure trousers to sleep at night, after spraying insecticide on your mattress and laying a freshly washed bedsheet on it, and see what happens.

I wonder which tricks Chris Oykhilome's daughters have practiced.

Leave the scholars. Your view is more important here. You must have heard story of Moses leading the Israelite away from Egypt till they get to the red sea blabla like that. Do you think that is fabricated? Please let me know your mind on this.

Most bible scholars believe that the exodus from Egypt as described in the bible never happened:

"The archaeological data do not accord with what could be expected from the Bible's exodus story:
there is no evidence that the Israelites ever lived in Ancient Egypt,
the Sinai Peninsula shows almost no sign of any occupation at all for the entire 2nd millennium BCE,
and even Kadesh-Barnea, where the Israelites are said to have spent 38 years,
was uninhabited prior to the establishment of the Israelite monarchy."

this is attack, someone is grabbing my testes. I naked completely when sleeping. only cover myself with mantras.

Is it possible that some lusty neighbours have been sneaking in to play with your balls? You may need to secure your bedroom better.

Lennycool:
Well Buddhism is a complex religion. It was started by Buddha as a way of ending human suffering mostly by eliminating want. The main thing about Buddhism is that its an ideal for eliminating suffering, that is the major take away. So why it has no God it is compatible with any religion or even atheism.

Thanks for your eplanation. That sounds like something that's obviously and demonstrably false. What makes people believe it's true?

lele007:
Not all utterances in tongues are to be interpreted.

Mostly tongues are spoken to God: 1 Corinthians 14:2 - "For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God"

spirit-to-Spirit, strictly NYB (not your bizwax)

Why did the Holy Spirit move Sinach to record the tongues so beautifully in her music video if they aren't meant for human consumption?

@hahn:

olaolaking:
Please can you mention even one event that you think is fiction.

I can mention more than one: the resurrection of Jesus, his virgin birth, his miracles, and every supernatural event described in the bible.

I rI was disturbed for several years until I ask myself one single question. The question made me to ask for another one. And so on.
Today, I don't believe in any pastor nor have special regards for them. But I regard the Bible and believe in it.

Can you tell me the questions you asked yourself? I can help you to figure out whether the answers you came up with are the right ones.

Does anyone here know what Buddhism is about? I understand Christianity and even Islam, but Buddhism seems to be difficult to understand.

naijadeyhia:
Would there be Apologists if they did not believe God is Real?

Evidently. Some people just like arguing and they don't really care whether the things they are arguing for are true or not. They just love it.

As atheists, we should spend less time engaging in endless debates with apologists. Let's focus on people who honestly believe that God is real.

PDBonline:
You just stated your believe without evidence. Give facts for your believe first.

You can profess your lack of belief in anything without evidence e.g. you don't have to provide any evidence for your lack of belief in Santa.

By the way, google WICCA covens and church of Satan in California.

Wiccans do not have supernatural powers. Some of them may think they have powers, but they are simply deluded. It's just another religion.

I am disappointed that nobody has even tried to interpret Sinach's tongues. Are we all saying that her utterances were just nonsensical words?

Niflheim:
@OP,
Go to the website, "Psychcentral" and read up on 'Nightmare disorder'!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare_disorder wow, this is excellent; I used to suffer from it too. I didn't know what it was called. Thanks!

fineboynl, see above. is it also possible that your boxers are too tight for your testicles, and so it hurts when you roll over while dreaming?

Here is another question for you? there are events that occurred and recorded in the Bible, how do you view them? Fiction or faction?

Mostly fiction. Bible scholars believe that the bible isn't a historical book. I agree. I wouldn't believe something just because it's in the bible.

olaolaking:
Not withstanding, I have this question for you. Do you believe in the Bible? If no, what is your view about the Bible?

I view the bible as a ordinary collection of literature, like Shakespeare's works. Every book of the bible was inspired and written by men, for human reasons. The Old Testament was collated by Jewish leaders while the New Testament was collated by the leaders of the early church.

I've begin to doubt about witch and wizard existence, I've never seen nor experience one, my dad only tell us about witches, in fact there was a time(it been long) I was very sick and I told my dad I need medical attention, he keeps telling me to pray that it is the work of witches in our street.

It was until I told my mum to tell a family matron that works in general hospital about my condition, that was how I was treated medically.

This is why atheists feel the need to fight superstitious beliefs. This is why we have to be outspoken. Superstitious beliefs cause real problems. Real suffering. Real deaths. This wise fellow would have died if he didn't have more sense than his parents as a young child.

Until I see witches with my korokoro eyes flying or transforming, I will believe in their existence. For now am still doubtful.

Thumbs up bro.

Hawlahscho:
Because we cant prove they exist, YOU THINK THEY DONT EXIST.
Because you cant prove they dont exist, WE THINK THEY EXIST.

Case closed.

What would you say to someone who believes mutant ninja turtles are responsible for all his problems in life but cannot prove it? Would you take the person to a mental hospital, or would you accept it as a reasonable belief? Afterall, you can't prove that ninja turtles don't exist.

You copied the whole thing. If not, I would have asked you to investigate Pastor Adeboye's logical fallacies too. Or the logical fallacies in the supposed word of God. Then compare them with Richard Dawkins. Or just about any atheist. There would be no contest.

Pls create a new thread to discuss biblical discrepancies.

The funniest thing about creationists attacking the theory of evolution is that their creation hypothesis cannot withstand any rational scrutiny. I welcome their skeptical attitude towards evolution and I hope they will apply that skeptical attitude to their creation hypothesis, too.

Gosh, how much did it cost to raise them to this size?

woke up to see numerous mails from nairaland today.. Imagine 216email confirmation messages.. What is happening @ seun

It was an attack. Sorry about this. We have mostly fixed it but we haven't declared full victory yet.

I really appreciate the fact that you guys feel that Nairaland is worth investing in.

So that's why he allowed Benny Hinn to minister at his church. He wants to join the big boys club.
