H2Ossss: Cool den... my own assertion is to y atheist say dere is no God... Amongst many reasons y i beliv dere is God is cuz looking at the universe and man's existence... its just proof dat a genius man made all these... I asked you cuz I wanted to know your own view (or an atheist view) on the worlds and man's creation... den MAYBE I can see reason as to y some ppl dont biliv in Him.
johnydon22: Only someone who cares more of what people think about him/her will give a flying fvck..
Atheists sure face discrimination, stigmatization and even high tendency to violent abuse in many societies but what people think or say cannot be added to list because that's quite petty.
I do not really care what people think about my atheism and i don't hide where ever i am..
So much peace and happiness comes with being your self and being proud of it and most of all able to shove it back down the throat of anybody who pours his beliefs on you
I think distinct ideologies also get their own share of such treatments.. There are also instances or muslims, buddhists, hinduist, christians and most especially African traditionalists getting such treatments in varying societies..
What cereal did u eat when you were growing up. This quote is filled with so much wisdom and maturity. I so much respect you.
Empiree: Everything has its own rights. God also demands His Rights of Recognition and Worship. I have seen atheist guy said "modakokin God". That's insult to those who believe in God.
So bruh, the lady is obviously christian and she does has the right to say whatever. What she doesnt have the right to say is "let's exterminate atheists". That will draw my empathy.
Now, to be honest, atheists are very st*pd. Everything has a creator. A car is not created by itself so ther must be a creator for it. Yourself Jackie has your Creator and you never wondered why you are here on the planet?.
You said atheists are stupid because they say they is no creator then automatically the biblical God Is stupid because he says no one created him
CoolUsername: Nope, evolution is still going on very slowly as we speak.
Have you seen how new breeds of dogs are formed over time by artificial selection. That's evolution.
Have you seen the way drugs like Amalar and Quinine stopped being effective against malaria? That's the malaria parasite evolving before our very eyes.
HCpaul: Maybe evolusion has stoped or those 21st century monkeys have acquired an IQ that surpassess the evolution theory.
I always vocalize a claime that atheism is a logical expression of haphazard state of confusion.
Don't mind them, these atheists are confused.
Think twice before displaying how ignorant you are. Evolution has nothing to do with atheism. There are some few atheist that don't accept evolution just as they are atheist that believe in a flat earth. The only thing atheist have in common is that they lack the belief in the existence of God.
In this 21st century I wonder why some people still dispute the theory of evolution while some Christian denominations fit it into their dogma so easily.
johnydon22: Do you think if there is such a thing as an all powerful, all knowing, all good, all perfect entity, it will need your worship or anybody's?
For it will know it's perfect and won't need anyone to boost his or her ego
Scholar8200: Funny! You sound like the tempter that said to Jesus, ''if Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down(that is down from an elevated place) for it is written, He shall give His angels charge over Thee, they shall bare Thee in their hands lest Thou dash Thy foot against a stone''!
What did Jesus answer? Go find out and take that as your answer for this thread! Hint: Event was recorded in Luke 4:9-13
jared007: Atheist like u shouldnt worry about heaven or hell. Babies who havent gotten to the age of accountability are saved by legal salvation(jesus died for the sins of the whole world). Babies who ve gotten to the age of accountability are saved by vital salvation( acceptance and confession of jesus as their saviour. Rom 10:10) THE MAJOR REASON PEOPLE GO TO HELL IS BECOS THEY REJECTED JESUS!
The major reason people go to hell is because they have rejected prophet Muhammad

HardMirror: At this point I must say, it is very obvious to even fanatical christains that their is a problem with their believe. No one has been able to refute the facts I presented.
Are babies going to heaven or hell?
No straight answer.
Why is it that god did not give a damn about the innocence of children in past judgments such as the great flood, sodom and gomorrah, isrealites wiping out all their enemies etc
It is obvious that it's wee humans are the ones trying to assume babies go to heaven.
So according to the bible, what is the purpose of life? When even babies enjoy no sympathy from god. Why send them to earth when he can see the future and he knows they will die as babies?
Why should an all powerful, all LOVING god use fire to resolve his problem with sodom including innocent animals and children?
the bible says ALL the men of sodom gathered at Lots house, yet the bible conveniently excused Lots inlaws from being among ALL the men. How can a righteous man offer his virgin daughters to ALL the men of a town to be raped? Is that the best solution he could come up with?
Synonymous to all the boys in biobaku hostel wanting to rape a single lady that just entered the hostel.
osagix: MATTHEW 21: 12-14 12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 13 And He said to them, "It is written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER'; but you are making it a ROBBERS' DEN." 14 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.…
THE IRONY OF THIS IS THAT NEWER CHURCHES AND PENTECOSTAL BODIES ARE COPING THIS ALTITUDE AND IDEOLOGY.? THIS IS NOT BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST. THIS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT IS FRAUD AND IS ALREADY WEAKENING THE CHURCH FOUNDATION. WE NO LONGER HEAR OF SALVATION, HELPING THE NEEDY OR GENUINE EVANGELISM. WE ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN BUILDING THE BIGGEST BUILDING, PULLING THE BIGGEST CROWD, HAVING THE MOST FLASHY PASTORS, WORLDLY PROSPERITIES ETC.
Funny enough in churches they sell wristbands handkerchiefs and etc. E.g redemption camp
Ultimatesammie: Hahaha really where did u get dat from its like saying if a woman with brown eyes marries a man with blue eyes, one eye of the child would be blue d other brown, just stating not against it who knows wat might happen
UyiIredia: • Since evolutionists are determined in their hearts that there is no God and life came about by evolution they will experience every single minute of their lie before they can be allowed to enjoy eternity. Please share this. It may save an evolutionist from the hell, heaven and demons have planned for them.
You are comedian. Waxing apocalyptic about the impending doom of atheists. You say they should at least believe in a God. WHICH god out of the tens of thousands of gods. Pick the wrong one and you are smoked fish.
Remember this op you can't choose to satisfy sb standard of evidence by rewarding them if they choose to believe and punishing them if they don't. For example. If you UyiIredia don't believe in fairies. You will go to hell. Does this make sense.
P. S you sound like someone that just escaped from yaba left
Any way God said Abraham should kill his son and he almost did it anyway. If jeptah could sacrifice his daughter as a burnt offering. Why can't the pastor.
johnydon22: [b] The concept of the Christian God is just so petty and insecure that i almost pity it.. Threatening people with torture to coerce them into some sheepish blind belief.
Hahahaha so petty and childish.. "Believe i exist, i reward you. Disbelieve it, i burn you" That line alone shows some people are just trying so hard to coerce others into their ratarding beliefs.
OP i have no business trying to know your religion inside out but as long as it involves one that conceives a childish, egocentric, insecure, sadistic, angry God who is going to burn everyone who doesn't believe as you do in a literal fire, tells me everything i need to know about you and your religion.
And honestly, it is too sadistic for me..
Many times have i fallen in love with girls and many times have i wooed them.. I have never recalled telling any of them "I love you, love me back or i burn you.."
That is a threat not a profession of love ... that is blackmail and that is cheap..
I know what love is and love is never coercion or wrathful, threat or torture and surely enough there is nothing of such in this... If such idea is what your religion calls "love" then i can rightly say both you, your religion and the god it professes knows nothing of love..
There is need for you to re-evaluate your beliefs, it makes a sadist out of humans.. [/b]
And funny enough they act like it's only their religion that has hell.
Do you want to be washed in the blood of the Lamb, or do you think you can keep sinning and go unpunished? Repent before it is too late. I love you all and want you in heaven with the children of God in Paradise. Please Pleatton,Hahn,ifenes,Johnydon22,others...accept Jesus before it is too late. Do not question God,please open your heart and accept him.
Repent. The Islamic hell I'd real and hotter than the xtian hell
hahn: Lol. Bros, Jesus never existed. The sole purpose of the creation of christ was to ensure that slaves remained loyal to their masters. Religion is a tool in the hands of the elite to control the masses and Africans have been controlled by this contraption ever since the first slave ship "Jesus" set off from England.
You are an intelligent man. Research and free yourself from this mental slavery.
There is no god. We are gods.
Hahn. Everything you said is true apart from the non existence of Jesus. He existed but was unfortunately idolized just like Buddha
dearpreye: I'm so happy I'm gradually moving away from mindless religious to a position of common sense and critical thought.
It's my deepest believe that religion should serve as a means of elevating man from mediocrity to excellence; poverty to abundance; ignorance to knowledge, and from primitivity to civilisation. But for the inherent weaknesses of human nature, religion has been so effectively used to degrade the human sense, turn men into unthinking zombies, push men away from improved lifestyles into poverty, and exploit and rob unsuspecting people of their meagre resources.
What transpired in my RCCG parish earlier this morning was shocking, shameful and insulting to sane minds.
For the past 7 or so years, we the parish members have almost singlehandedly built our edifice from scratch. We struggled to get an expensive piece of land using bank loans after shifting from place to place, managed to put up the structure, and bought the sound system and other things to make the place conducive for members. Sadly, as the case is with the RCCG administration, more than 70% of what we generated within this period was still being sent to the province and from there it will land in the HQs in Lagos- Ibadan.
This morning our pastor announced we will be dedicating that edifice to the glory of God. The only issue is: our provincial pastors and others said we MUST make available the sum of money between N150, 000 to N200, 000 as honorarium before they will come around to dedicate the building. I almost went berserk.
When one of us asked why that should be the case, he was told that has been the tradition- that we must make money available whenever our top pastors come visiting the lower churches for whatever reasons. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. It just doesn't make any iota of sense to me. It's absurd. This is nothing but religious exploitation. Why must the leaders ask us to pay for services we believe they're rendering to God? Somebody please help me.
As for me, I'm NOT giving a dime to that religious waste BUT I feel it's even terrible such traditions are allowed in the house of God. It's crazy.
Just when I was getting my head together, I was told that our G.O used to live in an apartment in the Redemption Camp before he moved into a more befitting one. Now, that apartment is being turned into a museum- members allegedly pay N500 to see inside. Another madness and exploitation. I just don't get mind around these things.
If religion keeps creating pains for me, of what benefit is it to me? Why don't more people speak out against these exploitation? It's insane.
Lol. Same thing last year I was in a rccg service when the pastor said that a service called " a day with daddy g. O" will be holding and its about children meeting the g.o one on one and that the each child should pay 15000 naira.
sonOfLucifer: Can you prove olive oil doesn't heal people? Those who tap into the business of heaven would reap huge rewards. These are kingdom principles. The Bible says that The Lord hall bless us abundantly. Those people profiting from olive oil, are people not buying it? Did anyone ask you to buy for them? Please, do not try to reason spiritual matters, else you will be confused. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.
My cousin's brother had cancer of the tongue. Two drops of olive oil and the cancer turned to Can-celled. A woman I know who had fibroid. She sipped just a little of the annointing oil, and her fibroid turned to Fine Boy.
Pls, don't underestimate the power of the Holy Ghost. Jesus said 'if only, you have faith'.. Some people just need ' faith-enablers'.
You are just tooooo funny. Loooooooooooooooooooool
Weah96: The gradual removal of lies and deceit is the beginning of illumination and clarity. Your bolded fallacy doesn't work because the truth has no agenda. Is the personal lord against truth seekers? In the horribly written stories which I believe are fictional, a doubting Thomas was applauded for refusing to believe the Word. He demanded to see the magic for himself. That's just how his brain worked in the stories.
And the Thomas saw the proof but the rest of of have to give the story the benefit of doubt
