Smallville10:You've forgotten that the devil (as imagined by Christians) is not omnipotent. Thus, unlike God, he is unable to impose his desire universally. |
exhibition:The earth doesn't have any foundations. How could God not know that? |
The answer is no. Most atheists don't believe in anything that is not supported by good evidence, including Jinns, ghosts, mermaids, & witches. |
Nwendy:Slavery: Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life. Leviticus 25:44-46 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 1 Peter 2:18 Children Killing: They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys. Joshua 6:21 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” 1 Samuel 15:3 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. Psalm 137:9 Rape: If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (A young male jew could force any girl to marry him by simply raping her, getting caught, and paying 50 shekels of silver to her father.) |
Codedrock:Regular doctors can prescribe basic psychiatric medications like antidepressants. They can also refer patients to good psychiatrists if needed. Let's go back to talking about what happens to people who mock God. |
Only people with celiac disease should be worried about gluten. Gluten is also present in bread, pastries, noodles, spaghetti, etc. |
More religion-related idiocy on display. When will our people acquire sense? |
fluxmind:Depression and other psychological illnesses are just medical conditions that can be treated with drugs and counseling. Just see a doctor (psychiatrist), get your prescription, and keep taking it. Then you should try to surround yourself with people who are kind and understanding. |
exhibition:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_formation |
joywendy:Interesting. Can you explain how you feel about it further? |
Sexina851:Does it matter that there's nothing wrong with it? It's just a verse in the bible. It's intended to be used by married couples. What's the offense? |
Honestly, it was not my intention to attack any religion on this thread. I saw that the image was liked by many people so I featured it. For traffic. |
4everGod:Nope. It's just that artificial selection produces far more exciting results than any natural selection that we can observe within our lifetimes. 4everGod:How would you know? If you understood evolution you would not be wasting your time trying to disprove it. So you now call breed selection and cross breeding done by scientists evolution?I won't use the term evolution. The silverfox domestication project did not involve cross-breeding (you can't cross-breed foxes with any domestic animal that I know of), but it involved "breed selection". The gist of evolution is that we are all products of "breed selection" by nature. |
adjoviomole:Yes & no. The natural selection that made us what we are today didn't happen in an instant. It involved a lot of little steps that added up to a great difference over thousands of years. We can observe the small steps of natural selection within our lifetimes, but we don't live long enough to be able to observe the dramatic changes that can result from lots and lots of small steps. So we have to rely on indirect evidence. As it happens, we have been able to get so much indirect evidence that supports evolution, that almost every scientist accepts it as a fact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIEoO5KdPvg From the video above, here's a list of the types of evidence we have for evolution: 1) Comparative anatomy. 2) Embryology and development. 3) The fossil record. 4) DNA Comparison. 5) Species distribution. 6) Evolution observed. 7) Predictive power of evolution. 8} Nested hierarchies of traits. |
This thread was created by someone who left Atheism for Christianity and publicly wrote about it. I don't see why people think it's controversial. |
idris4r83:It's just science. The same science that is the foundation of all the technology we rely on and the medical knowledge that keeps us healthy. What makes Islam perfect is that the qur'an is enough proof to show us that it is the religion of truth and nothing but the truth.If the Quran was perfect, it would be more interesting than Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. More scientifically accurate than the Encyclopedia Britannica. More humanitarian than the universal declaration of human rights. It wouldn't inspire people to do evil in God's name. PS: I thought you said that the Quran was perfect, which is one of the tenets of Islam, but what you actually said was slightly different. |
adjoviomole:This is wrong. You need to stop putting the health of your family at risk, if you want things to go well on the long run. |
LarrySun:( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." (Ezekiel 23:20 NIV)The mind-blowing thing about this verse is that it's part of a prophecy. The Almighty God conceived those words and dictated them to Ezekiel. |
promise10:Very few of them are true. For every true deathbed conversion from atheism story you can give me, I can give you one or more that are false. |
Songs Of Solomon 7: 6 - 8https://i.imgflip.com/1b4s08.jpg |
Obviously, you were saved by a clear mind and a fire extinguisher. Why bring God into it? Fire extinguishers work for atheists and pagans, too. |
idris4r83:I have been trying to read it from this website: www.clearquran.com. It's just so boring . At least the bible is funny, if nothing else.And again on the concept of God, if I ask you who created nairaland, what would be your answer? If your answer is Seun Osewa, then think again. How would Seun Osewa be the god of nairaland? Nairaland just sprung up spontaneously by accident, doesn't it sound ridiculous. If nairaland cannot originates itself by accident, if planes, cars, houses have their manufacturers how comes man's own is different?Some facts sound ridiculous to people who lack scientific knowledge. For example, the fact that the earth is round, and the fact that the earth moves round the sun, used to seem ridiculous. It's time for you to learn about evolution from the best explainer in the world, Richard Dawkins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNhtbmXzIaM (it's mostly a question and answer session and the students include Christians and Muslims) |
Very educative thread btw. |
I believe there would be many atheists like me too, who pretended to accept Christ in order to die peacefully and not be disturbed by some bald headed deluded preacher and loved ones tryna force Jesus down your throat. This shows why deathbed conversions might not be reliableActually, most deathbed conversion stories are just lies. People literally make up fake stories to glorify God. The "lying for Jesus" phenomenon. |
You asked for just the bullet points, and I provided them. Now you're talking about nuance. Look, everything we might say is already here. Bye! |

I don't see this has hilarious but sad...
. At least the bible is funny, if nothing else.
