Actually, no . . . I like going to church.

What, you think because I'm an atheist, I should avoid or hate church? hell no.

hey, I'm really good at writing songs and sermons. so, if you're stuck on one with your group, contact me and I'll write you sermons that will drive your audience to tears, and songs that will "Lift the spirits." of your church members. you'll be famous.

This here, is exactly why "christians" like you become pastors to defame christianity and engage in several demonic acts.


Sidney Davies, an atheist, calls the religious "nutbags". Why do atheists ridicule and persecute those who disagree with
them?

Teempakguy:
You think if there were atheists up there, they would actually admit to being one?

Just look at the behavior of entertainers, academicians, and businessmen in the country, do they even remotely act like they acknowledge a God? but of course they're not going to admit it, because who's going to work with, or even let live self-proclaimed atheists in this religion-besotted country, hence, they'll tell you what you want to hear.

I in fact will do the same thing in a breath, If I ever get successful with the solutions I'm developing, I'll deny everything I've been saying here. I'll give my life to Christ in a heartbeat, and join the saints of God in expecting his return.

This here is why Nigeria and other african countries may never move forward. When leaders, entertainers e.t.c start to revere God and human life. Nigeria will become a better place.

Dave Ochman, an atheist, states that a police officer should be fired for standing for religious freedom. Gelasio Salazar, also a militant atheist, "liked" his comment. Do you

Since I've been born, I've missed church twice. both were over a decade ago. I actually go to church more than most of the theists on this site. obviously, I don't hate Sundays, or Church, or the LGBTQ community. So, I don't really get your post . . . BTW, you're starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist. don't fall that far, man. there's really no going back from that.

I guess you are frustrated cos you have to go to church every sunday, not cos you really wanna go. Maybe cos of your parents.



The hateful Freedom From Religion Foundation promotes another incendiary billboard created by one of their members
calling religion a cult. Will they let intolerant atheists say ANYTHING they want about religion? They have no respect or tolerance and it shows. I can only imagine the huge backlash we'd get from atheists if we called atheism a cult. Shame on FFRF for inciting and promoting hate and for atheists who don't recognize their hypocrisy.

Teempakguy:
gish galloping is in fact, a logical fallacy.

and yes, it's actually rational to believe that a samsung 15 mp camera was created because there is evidence that it was.
it is irrational to believe that a 574 mp eye was created by an all powerful god. because there is no evidence that this is the case.

Oh great, cos im not interested in arguing the existence of a creator with you or anyone.
But it is also rational to invest your life encouraging people not to believe in a Creator?


The administrator of the facebook page 'God Killer' admits that his family suffers from mental illness. The fact that he is mentally ill helps explain why he would create a page

Anonymous Global Network (AGN), a facebook page operated by militant atheists, bears the name of a famous group also named 'Anonymous'. Although AGN claims a connection with the group, members of 'Anonymous' have revealed that there is

I can only respond to you if you put together an organized argument.

You need not respond my good friend. And i'm not here to debate God's existence with you or anyone.


A facebook page advocating militant atheism, titled 'Religion Obscures The Truth" stated that christian pages resorts to "name calling" - the very title of their facebook page does the same thing that they accuse us of. Why are atheists hypocrites?

Florance Quigly, a militant atheist and possible administrator of several facebook pages that advocate hatred towards the religious, including one that advocates silencing (massacring) the lambs (religious believers) commented on an FFAF post that

mental health: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/diane-bederman/mental-illness-religion_b_4595872.html

@paragraph 2. yeah, you are actually right. Religion doesn't impede rational thinking. it is actually a symptom of irrational thinking. and I have looked at the facts that he presented, it is a documentation of gnostic atheism. an equally irrational stance. actually, gnostic atheists aren't a lot different from you theist people. they're taking a 100% sure stance in the absence of 100% evidence.

Yeah right. Cos it is rational to believe that a samsung 15 mpxl camera was created and a 574mpxl human eye arose by accident.


The atheistic facebook page and hate organisation 'Silencing of The Lambs' advocates hatred towards individuals with autism and targets those who advocate for those with the condition, including Rebecca Spellmeyer - The Autism Queen. The title of
the page 'Silencing of The Lambs' itself is a reference to massacring (silencing) believers (the lambs) through violence and hate propaganda. This has a historical precendent; in Nazi Germany, Social Darwinists targeted those who they did not
deem normal, subjecting them to cruel medical experiments and torture. Under the militant atheism of the USSR, believers were
subjected to brainwashing and experimentation in the atheistic Gulag system

Teempakguy:
it is religion that allows these bloody thieves to get away with the nonsense they're doing. everyone is in church on sunday, waiting for God to prosper them, and the government carts away national funds while they're not looking.

Sunday seems offensive to you. But in your bigotry, you excluded monday-saturday. I guess you'd rather people were anywhere instead of a church.
Similar to what murderous atheists who found their way to the top echelon of government wanted.


Many atheists try to dupe the LGBTQ community into collaborating with them in order to boost their low numbers.
However, behind the scenes this screenshot shows the true attitude of militant atheists towards homosexuals. Does this have anything to do with the persecution of homosexuals under militant atheism (see: http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_the_persecution_of_homosexuals )?

KingEbukaNaija:
Yh ... I agree with you , the thought of paradise is what drives our leaders into peculating funds and depositing them in banks abroad . The corruption , the insecurity , the illiteracy , the perquisites of being a senator at the expense of the masses , the poor funding of researches - let's blame them all on religion , superstition and the elusive paradise .

Religion does not impede rational thinking , atheism does . Look at the facts winner01 have presented , mentally deranged buffoons who are malignant towards the religious . The Bigots , scums all are atheists

Take your daft specious argument away from here ! What do you expect from a child , go back to your books , you done with your WAEC ? Such blatant show of ignorance . Gosh ! return your school certificate or something

In an atheists mind, religion is the problem of the world.

Derek Evan Kaylor, an atheist, denies the fact that North Korea is officially an atheist state that persecutes the religious for their faith in God. He then proceeds to mock Christians for writing facts that are historically accurate. Has anyone noticed
that militant atheists feel the need to deny facts in order to support their false claims? This has a historical precedent, as atheists have suppressed science to support their worldview.

Adrian Buckmaster, an atheist, believes that religion should be banned and that the religious are delusional. His sentiments echo the practices of atheist states, like North Korea

On a crystalline spring morning on the third Sunday of Lent, Lucy and I went to church with my parents, who had flown in from Arizona for a weekend visit. We sat together in a long wooden pew, and my mother struck up a conversation with the family sitting next to us, first complimenting the mother on her baby daughter’s eyes, then quickly moving on to matters of greater substance, her skills as a listener, confidante, and connector fully evident. During the pastor’s Scripture reading, I suddenly found myself chuckling. It featured a frustrated Jesus whose metaphorical language receives literal interpretation from his followers:


Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”

. . . Meanwhile, the disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat.” But he said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” So the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”

It was passages like these, where there is a clear mocking of literalist readings of Scripture, that had brought me back around to Christianity after a long stretch, following college, when my notion of God and Jesus had grown, to put it gently, tenuous. During my sojourn in ironclad atheism, the primary arsenal leveled against Christianity had been its failure on empirical grounds. Surely enlightened reason offered a more co­herent cosmos. Surely Occam’s razor cut the faithful free from blind faith. There is no proof of God; therefore, it is unreasonable to believe in God.

Although I had been raised in a devout Christian family, where prayer and Scripture readings were a nightly ritual, I, like most scientific types, came to believe in the possibility of a material conception of reality, an ultimately scientific worldview that would grant a complete metaphysics, minus outmoded concepts like souls, God, and bearded white men in robes. I spent a good chunk of my twenties trying to build a frame for such an endeavor. The problem, however, eventually became evident: to make science the arbiter of metaphysics is to banish not only God from the world but also love, hate, meaning — to consider a world that is self-evidently not the world we live in. That’s not to say that if you believe in meaning, you must also believe in God. It is to say, though, that if you believe that science provides no basis for God, then you are almost obligated to conclude that science provides no basis for meaning and, therefore, life itself doesn’t have any. In other words, existential claims have no weight; all knowledge is scientific knowledge.

Yet the paradox is that scientific methodology is the product of human hands and thus cannot reach some permanent truth. We build scientific theories to organize and manipulate the world, to reduce phenomena into manageable units. Science is based on reproducibility and manufactured objectivity. As strong as that makes its ability to generate claims about matter and energy, it also makes scientific knowledge inapplicable to the existential, visceral nature of human life, which is unique and subjective and unpredictable. Science may provide the most useful way to organize empirical, reproducible data, but its power to do so is predicated on its inability to grasp the most central aspects of human life: hope, fear, love, hate, beauty, envy, honor, weakness, striving, suffering, virtue.


Between these core passions and scientific theory, there will always be a gap. No system of thought can contain the fullness of human experience. The realm of metaphysics remains the province of revelation (this, not atheism, is what Occam argued, after all). And atheism can be justified only on these grounds. The prototypical atheist, then, is Graham Greene’s commandant from The Power and the Glory, whose atheism comes from a revelation of the absence of God. The only real atheism must be grounded in a world-making vision. The favorite quote of many an atheist, from the Nobel Prize–winning French biologist Jacques Monod, belies this revelatory aspect: “The ancient covenant is in pieces; man at last knows that he is alone in the unfeeling immensity of the universe, out of which he emerged only by chance.”

Yet I returned to the central values of Christianity -- sacrifice, redemption, forgiveness -- because I found them so compelling. There is a tension in the Bible between justice and mercy, between the Old Testament and the New Testament. And the New Testament says you can never be good enough: goodness is the thing, and you can never live up to it. The main message of Jesus, I believed, is that mercy trumps justice every time.

Jason Sullivan requested that he be added to the "Screenshots of Atheistic Intolerance" album. He denies the reality that believers are persecuted throughout the world. "According to the International Society for Human Rights, a secular observatory based in Frankfurt, Germany, 80 per cent of all acts

the most persecuted religious body on the planet" (Ref: http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9041841/the-war-on-chris

I have also shown you that there is no ideological code binding atheists and blaming the oppression of communism on atheism is simply laughable

Just one question for you my friend: Do you love christians?



Gîrleanu Alexandru, an atheist, desires that the Holy Bible be tossed into a trash can, despite the fact that he knows that a large percentage of the world's population respects this number one bestseller. How would he feel if someone tossed something into the trash that was precious to him? One should
notice that in his profile picture, he depicts a man carrying the red flag of atheistic communism.

GeneralShepherd:
Of course, the number of Christians that hate gays and that will readily kill them are indicative that Christians are murderers. (I hope my trolling will show you how ridiculous your claims have been)

Im not saying atheists are murderers my good friend, i'm only trying to prove what can motivate one to murder in millions.

This lovely lady below is another proof atheists just cant love christians.

GeneralShepherd:
The ideology of Christianity is not mere worship of God, it is why you desperately want all abortion doctors, atheists, homosexuals and non believers dead.

This Christian, Ronald Gay entered a gay bar in Roanoke, Virginia and opened fire on the patrons, killing Danny Overstreet, 43 years old, and severely injuring six others. Ronald said he was angry over what his name now meant, and deeply upset that three of his sons had changed their surname. He claimed that he had been told by God to find and kill lesbians and gay men, describing himself as a "Christian Soldier working for my Lord;" Gay testified in court that "he wished he could have killed more gays," before several of the shooting victims as well as Danny Overstreet's family and friends.[

Please help us to expose deadly people who claim they want to live like Christ, while they commit lawlessness.

Jesus made this quote in the new testament to such people: "Depart from me, you lawbreakers."

Christianity has never been mere worship. Christ commanded us to help people to know God in peace and love just like he did. He commanded us to preach the gospel to all nations. I see christians spreading messages of hope by building hospitals, orphanages, educational institutes, charity organizations etc. I also see christians in hospitals(death beds)- spreading the message of hope to the hopeless, In prisons-spreading the message of hope to the condemned and all other lovely aids for humanity.

Islam does not preach evangelism, it is found nowhere in the quran, how much more atheism which is meant to be mere unbelief?

I have a mandate to preach the gospel. If atheism has no creed, what is your mandate? , Why do you do what you do.
