Could you lend me the mind reading device that makes you an authority on what women are thinking?

Why would God choose to create giant cartoon creatures to torment us in order to end the world when he can just say, "world, end!"?

Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.

So sorry bro.

LifestyleTonite:
So, all of these justifies you and your mods always pushing Antichristian threads to front page?

How come you don't push anti-islamic threads to front page, especially the ones that expose the barbarism in that religion? And don't tell me that atheists haven't created numerous threads on that. But you have made sure such don't see the light of day not to talk of making front page.

But the moment they create something Antichristian or that attacks the church, you quickly move it to front page. Why protect Islam?

You are biased and it is becoming obvious to everyone. You might own your forum but never underestimate the power of a united Christians.

The mods have previously been instructed not to post anti-Christian threads to the home page on Sundays. Sunday HP is for Christians.

fumisko, what is the difference between dating and courting directly?

Knowing that most of your lovers, family members, and friends are being tortured in hell fire would be a form of suffering for you even if you were lucky to make heaven (which is by grace, i.e. luck)

Update: aribisala0 said it already.

Tomorrow is Sunday, another day for insulting Christians and the church here on Nairaland.

I’m sorry that you feel this way. For most atheists, the objective is to enlighten religious people rather than to insult them. Christians talk about hating the sin but loving the sinner. In the same way, most atheists dislike religion, but they want the best for religious people.

however I want to ask a question, why are athiest only after Christians and jews?

They are not after you. They are after the unjustified beliefs that prevent you from enjoying your life to the max and allowing others around you to do the same.

Do they not believe in God or are they just angry with God

They are angry with religion, which confiscates your time and money, dictates what you can and cannot do in your life, makes you intolerant, and offers only worthless promises in exchange for all your painful sacrifices.

MhizzAJ:
Masturbation is bad

It doesn’t spread STDs or cause unwanted pregnancies. It doesn’t break hearts. It’s harmless. And it releases a hormone that makes you feel relaxed. If something is harmless and also beneficial, it is a good thing.

and it's a sin

Masturbation was never condemned in the Bible despite the fact that it was definitely happening. Apostle Paul probably did it all the time since he never got married. The only reason to condemn masturbation after condemning fornication, adultery and prostitution is if your goal is just to make people feel guilty all the time.

Daviddson:
There was no record of the apostles or the early church having choir, but having choirs in churches today doesn't make it unbiblical. Would you say we are practicing old testament worship by having musical group a core part of every church service today? I don't expect you to answer that since you're not a Christian. The answer is in the negative.

Having a choir isn’t unbiblical but telling people that God expects every Christian to join the choir is unbiblical. Similarly, it is not unbiblical for a Christian to voluntarily choose to pay 10% of her income to her church, but it is unbiblical to teach that God requires it of every Christian.

Daviddson:
How can the practice of something that's in the bible not been biblical? That some churches or preachers have made it a cardinal focal point of their messages, does not entirely make it unbiblical. Just the same way that Buhari has focused his entire pursuit on fighting corruption leaving other necessary arms of governance unattended to does not universally make a pursuit of fighting corruption a wrong one.

Tithing was not practiced by the apostles and early Christians. There is no passage that says Christians should pay 10% to their income to churches. Even the tithing of the Jews in the Old Testament was very different from what churches demand today. It wasn't an income tax.

spartan117:
If u belief that they lied against God then I can infer that u belief that God exists. Is that true?

People often think and talk about fictional characters (e.g. Jon Snow) as if they actually exist.

DangotePikin:
so your disbelief in God is as a result of falsehood of men that should know better. I'm not impressed. If I was considering Atheism due to your rational analysis on the supernatural, , this revelation just killed that part of me.

This was my first step towards atheism, but it did not make me an atheist. It only made me lose my faith in churches. Another issue for me was software piracy. I couldn't understand why none of the fellowships felt that using pirated software on their computers was a sin. I couldn't imagine that they were in communion with God because I felt God would have made it very clear to them that software piracy was a sin.

Don't be offended. They have been programmed to believe that God should be given credit for every good thing that happens to them. This programming is reinforced in church every week. I am sure that, in their minds, they truly appreciate the people that "God used" to assist them.

You are right. The day I discovered that tithing wasn't biblical was the beginning of the end of my faith, because it suggested that all of the highly respected, holiness preaching, miracle working, pastors I looked up to and respected, were liars. They lied against God to make money.

NPComplete:
1. The lack of experience of life before a mother's womb is not an evidence of lack of life before a mother's womb.

Agreed. My intention was to give those who are struggling to understand the idea of oblivion after death a way to wrap their minds around it. If you have no problem accepting that you didn't exist in any realm before you were born, the idea of not existing after death is not a stretch.

It could be that we existed in a form or dimension our present 3D minds are incapable of assessing hence the appearance of lack of experience of life before the mother's womb. Proceeding along this line, death could be a sort of freedom from the limitations of our present form and enabling to continue gleaning our pre-corporeal existence. Hell it could even be like a Larva-pupa-butterfly life stages. Remember I said "could". Who knows?

I can't help but notice that you seem to have no problem "assessing" these "possibilities" with your "3D mind", so that's a poor excuse.

2. Even if we concede there's no life before a mother's womb, that does not effectively preclude a life after death. Assuming all life begin during conception, there's no way to guarantee all life ends after death. Perhaps conception is the ingredient needed for the formation of the information our consciousness holds and such information must get transferred in one form or another after death. Perhaps our mind are effectively synchronised using some form of quantum entanglement to some distant part of the cosmos and death is just some form of quantum teleportation to those parts. Who knows?

Oblivion after death seems more likely. Even the Jews, who wrote Genesis, believe(d) this: "dust you are, and to dust you shall return". [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor]Occam's razor[/url] suggests that the simplest plausible explanation for a phenomenon - oblivion in this case - is likely to be the correct one.

AHCB:
The question now is: where do we go to when we die?

Simple: where did you come from when you were conceived?

asuustrike2009:
Eternity is real.There's life after death.

Did you experience any life before you were conceived in you mother's womb? If not, there's no good reason to expect life after death.

Google seems to have anointed Kotlin as the JVM language to replace Java. I suspect that it has a brighter future than JRuby for this reason.

Yep

mynd44 please what is going on?

To rescue her son from what?

Immacula8:
I think its time every page on Nairaland is protected by SSL certificates.

A lot of members choose to use fictitious data etc on their profiles because of this.

We are at the mercy of MITM guys.

Thanks for providing the great platform.

Long live Nairaland
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria

That is an excellent suggestion. I can’t think of any reason not to follow it.

Mynd44, please clean up this thread and deal with any rule breakers that you find.

Please look into tribalism. To me, that's the utmost. Employ mods whose only job would be to ban tribal posts & the person that made the post.

Can you give me 5 examples of tribal posts that the mod in charge (mynd44) did not remove? Just post the links here. Did you report them?
