We spend 10x more time stuffing stone age religious nonsense in the brains our children than in teaching them basic scientific principles.
So, it doesn't surprise anyone that we contribute least to scientific achievement.

Once you are atheist, you become automatically scientifically literate and only have the knowledge to teach your kids. Religious kids are all deluded.

The op was just using the ongoing Olympics to once again question or magical thinking patterns.

Why not let the oP speak for himself.

HOW MANY ATHEISTS HAVE WON GOLD MEDALS
lwtmb !!!!

kilo4sure:
USA has been winning Olympic gold medals for a long time, is it that they have never had this magical thinking? Let's take football for instance, Brazil is a highly religious country of about 90percent Christians, ain't they usually successful when they come against other nations in football.

What is wrong with you people? Atheism is the only guarantee of gold medals you non-freethinkers.

The other day, se.un and some atheists were advocating for planned parenthood and abortion.

plaetton:
Why are we last in economic management, ethics, peace and harmony, science and technology, health and longevity, even the commonest luxury of 24 hr electricity?

Is religion a factor in our collective FAILURE as a people?
That is the simple , but critical question.

We atheists already know the answer.

We just like to remind the rest of you once in a while.

The best in ecomomic development, peace and harmony, science and tech. etc, are they atheist countries?


Religious countries which prospered rapidly, was religion an influencing factor?

You people are anything but reasonable.

kilo4sure:
So religion is now the cause of our olympic woes as well? Interesting!
BTW, how many atheists are winning gold medals in the Olympics?

All the Gold winners are atheists you deluded and close minded human being

An atheist will look for the slightest reason to blame God for anything wrong in his environment. The desperation is real.

The cant simply "lack a belief". Do this people even know what it means to "lack a belief"?

We've tackled this over and over again here. Dont you guys have anything new to say? Why not just talk about what atheism has to offer instead

KingEbukasBlog:
This is the perfect advice for you . You simply regurgitate jeremiads on religion from the books you now read and websites you visit - that's why no one sees you as a smart guy .

The guy got a very poor reasoning ability.

GrizzlyBear:
Now my argument is simple, since we pray to God a lot, and we are devoted to him, why hasn't God helped us perform better than the secular, non believing countries?

Just which countries are these non-believing countries who have performed better?

GrizzlyBear:
I have recently realized, that religion doesn't just inhibit critical thinking and intellectual development, it also limits our performance in many areas, because, instead of working hard to perform to the best of our physical and mental abilities, we would rather pray and hope that God does the "rest"

Yeah, you know we all stay in our homes and expect food to appear on our tables as commanded in the book of atheism chapter foolishness verse desperation

GrizzlyBear:
Religion has underdeveloped Africa. Religion has greatly affected our social, political and economical structures, negatively. Religion prohibits open mindedness and imagination. Religion restricts us from utilizing the full extent of our potentials. Our youths don't read books anymore, because they have been told that the bible is the only book they need to read. And even if they read any books, it's only religious books and academic books, which most cram to pass.

Who told them the Bible is the only Book they must read? Give the names of these people.
Why are you guys so desperate.

GrizzlyBear:
Religion stops us from thinking and questioning. How would we achieve strides in science and technology when we aren't allowed to think and question?

Those intelligent individuals who founded the areas of science you all cling to for relevance were also not thinking. Those who made the discoveries and inventions that got us where we are today were also not thinking.
You know what I think, I think you guys have norhing to offer but to repeat arguments heard from atheist high priests.

GrizzlyBear:
Religion stops us from thinking and questioning. How would we achieve strides in science and technology when we aren't allowed to think and question?

No atheism stops you from thinking, cos obviously you aren't. Historical illiteracy is something common to most atheists. Which strides in science and technology are you talking about

GrizzlyBear:
While all the foreign countries are moving forward, our dear religion is pulling us backward.

Y'all have been saying this since forever. Which foreign countries are moving forward because of atheism?

GrizzlyBear:
.

I really don't see the importance of religion. Some atheists are of the opinion that the only usefulness of religion is that it helps keep people in check, helps them live right. My answer to this is that if anyone needs to be forced into doing good and living peacefully with their fellow humans, by promising them heaven after they die, and warning them of hell if they do bad, then that person needs psychological evaluation.

You have refused to define what you mean by good and why people should listen to your opinion. If the universe does not care what we do or dont do, then how can you possibly tell another person what to use his life for. I think you need psychological evaluation.

GrizzlyBear, Religion is the problem of anything you can think about.

Olympians put God before gold.

I could flood this thread with more olympic stars.

But no, according to the atheist, you cant believe in God and be anything good, you cant succeed in anything.
Everyone who has won gold in the olympics are atheists.

When will Africa learn to take responsibility for their problems and not blame it on just anything.

Aheists here are a joke. Can you give us the statistics of the performance of atheists to christians talkless of muslims and others in the olympics.
Why must you guys just cling to anything for support, why cant you just talk about the benefits of atheism?

I understand you want to appeal to the ignorance of your brothers but at least do it with some sense.

The Nigerian whose picture is shown below is also a christian, but according to the atheists, the government which have refused to sponsor her is God. You people do not need to take advantage of every situation to proclaim your hatred for God, if you cant support our own, at least keep quiet.

Dejideji1:
Wait a minute, i thought you said you are done with this section? You are not a man of your words and you are grossly unstable.
I don't expect anybody to take you/any of your comments serious again on this section.
I can see you are a feeble fellow, you

honourhim:
cheap liar.I thought you said you are with nairaland. Oh..yeea I remember that telling lies is not bad in atheism. Everything is right. Shame.

Everything is permissible in atheism, he may only choose not to if he wants to.

You can kill people too if it makes you happy, afterall the universe does not care what you do.

He's an unstable individual who is going through a lot. He goes whereever the wind blows. Thats the mark of a man who cant make decisions. Now we can see how he decided about atheism

ifenes:
Soon and very soon Winner01 will share his testimony on this section. Firstly,he needs to conquer his fears. The fear of the Israeli god and hell fire which was passed to him by his parents. I know once he resets his mind to normal,Ebuka and Analice107 will follow. Including the rest of their multiple accounts. Hopefully it won't be too late. Being a christian for 30/40 years is a waste of life already,when you clock 50,that's bleeped up.

But ive been down that hole and seen that it is worthless?
Im enjoying the peace of God right now. You should give it a try too.
Do you want

Richirich713:
Religion: Share your faith and belief in God or higher powers here.

No you dont get it. Atheism is not a belief, they just here to share their unbelief.

Or their belief in unbelief.

Or their belief in the existence of no God

Or their belief that people shouls not believe with them.

Atheism is not a belief. Period!

Weah96:
I could've saved you the long post, Winner01. Atheism is a belief. The belief that your god is not real.

What is the point of the thread?

No reasonable person spends his life dwelling on a lack of belief.

Only a belief could be the reason for such bigotry.

Joshuabase:
Here's the situation - there are a lot of atheists on nairaland who open atheist threads but individually none of them have opened more threads than you. It's like you're trying to individually take on all nairaland atheists.

Now, back to the part where I said you were obsessed.

Does it matter how many threads i've opened?

I'm not taking on anyone oo, Some of you are just trolls, I dont have that much time to spend on Social media. And Its not like my posts are directed at any one of you.

Its just that I feel atheists dont know much about atheism thats why they never talk about it. I can help them talk about what they dont know in my spare time.

AmenRa1:
if my likes goes to power today instead of wasting our time eradicating religion we will be building more research centers!!

Thats Ur business! But as far as atheist are still here we'all be refuting all Ur nonsense!

Pls Enough about children

Thats the same lies your mentors told people before they went on a killing spree.

Na ur children go put sense for your head. When you tell them life has no meaning and you want them to live meaningful lives.

hopefulLandlord:
First it was that gates was a Christian

Then it became he is not an atheist

Then it became okay he's agnostic

Then became does he do........

Who said gates was christian, atheist or agnostic?
Yall are the ones desperate to give him titles. Fact remains he does not spend his life being stup1d.

I choose my words carefully ehn.

AmenRa1:
Lol m ready for U this night
I didn't say 1million the anger in Ur heart mk U misunderstand! The crusade? Maybe Wikipedia could help U on that
A single atheist killing over 70million people I guess he maybe the God of war for one man to kill over 70million people!! How did he do it? But have U ever asked Ur self where was God when he was killing them?
Ofcourse m a toothless dog since I can't talk I'll type! M not the one that created over 40threads on Atheism!
I am already at peace am free from religious delusion Tanks for the offer but I won't accept U could tell that to a kid! M sorry my children won't be that deluded but of what use is Ur life if Ur children start to preach to U about Allah or trying to get U to think rationally?

If Your likes got to power today, you will eradicate religion at all costs. Thats what your mentors did and religion is still stronger than ever.

Na 40 threads you still see?, Remind me when i get to 100.

My children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be my peace. Your children will make you see the common sense you didnt make them see.

AmenRa1:
What nonsense do U speak of? I m trying to have fun here on NL

Simple question na.

Does Bill gates whom y'all are trying to give your label spend his life on fighting God and religion?

AmenRa1:
What has the picture down there got to do with this I was even thinking U were more mature than kingebukasblog I guess I was wrong.

I don't even know the point U are trying to drive in whether U agree or not that doesn't change the fact that bill is agnostic n m not gonna educate U on what agnostic is!

Just one last question: Does Bill gates do the nonsense you people do here everyday?

AmenRa1:
I m not the one that need help bro m not the one that created more than 40threads on atheism!

Lol. I nor dey this section for 2 reasons oo. I've realized what this section is for and so I dont wanna waste my time. As long as i'm here and have the spare time, many more topics exposing atheism's coming your way. Its still funny you've never said a word to atheists who constantly create threads on christianity.


Ladies and gents. This is the objectivity of atheism in action.

ichommy:
[Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you...

hopefulLandlord:

Jesus was a jewish carpenter who was the deluded bastard son of an acclaimed virgin who was lied to by his mother that God impregnated her and who ended up believing it and allowing himself to be crucified only to realize his folly on the cross then crying out to his imaginary father in heaven asking why he has forsaken him.
This same man is called the lion of the tribe of judah while he was even weaker than a sheep, he goes around making statement like he is the king of the jews and even telling the priests that he will pull down their temples and rebuild it in 3 days and when asked to do that claimed that he isnt talking about the temple but his body.
But romans no de carry last them beat nonsense commot for him body and his apostle stole his body and claimed he rose up on the 3rd day and went to heaven and na only the see am, even the mother did not see him self

Okay. We've heard these versions of strawmen before. Do you people even have anything new to say?

AmenRa1:
I seams U don't understand this statement

Gates: In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not but I think religious principles are quite valid.

1. Religious principles are quite valid

2. A belief in God makes sense

3. There's a lot of merit in the moral aspects of religion. I think it can have a very very positive impact.

Does this sound like the average angry NL atheist?
Or do you just want to sleep well tonight?

AmenRa1:
I want others to lack a belief with me? Did I put knife in their neck to change them? Did I threaten them with hell to change them? Was I the one that started the crusade that led to the killing of over a million?? Are U threatened That people are starting to think rationally and thereby stepping out of faith? And beginning to chase fact?? What is wrong with U exactly??

Who are these people? Which crusade? One million? How about a single atheist killing over 70 million people? What are these facts you speak about? Are you so hurt that the topic of God fills your heart with so much hatred?

Why should I be threathened by toothless dogs who come to a faceless forum to bark?.

Peace is what you need in your life. Only Jesus can give you the peace you need. Of what use is your life when your children start to preach Jesus to you in your old age?

hahn:
You guys should come together and form a chat group.

Call it "Deluded and proud"

Naah, more like "Reasonable and happy". Dont you get it?
You cant force your unhappiness on happy people

AmenRa1:
Tank U sir am very unintelligent Like I said his wife religion is not his religion even his wife is not a core Christian like that his children do follow her to church and sometimes he do also, regardless of how evil U think atheist are that's Ur opinion

You definately are exhibiting evil. You claim to lack a belief in God but are not satisfied, you want others to lack a belief with you. Thats the definition of a belief system.
If Bill Gates is really atheist (he isnt), then you and your peers are not qualified to be called atheists.

AmenRa1:
Bill gates is an atheist His wife religion is not his religion!! when will U guys get that into Ur tick skull, like the way they did for Darwin false conversion

Bill Gates on Religion
Gates was interviewed November 1995 on PBS by David Frost. Below is the transcript with minor edits.

Frost: Do you believe in the Sermon on the Mount?

Gates: I don't. I'm not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I'm a huge believer in. There's a lot of merit in the moral aspects of religion. I think it can have a very very positive impact.

Frost: I sometimes say to people, do you believe there is a god, or do you know there is a god? And, you'd say you don't know?

Gates: In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid.

[size=20pt]Bill gates is agnostic!! [/size]

Stop Crying. He has never labelled himself agnostic, atheists did to side with him just as they side with anything else due to the emptiness of atheism.
He could be irreligious or even deistic. But when someone says "It makes sense to believe in God", it definately does not tally with what you people spend your lives telling us here.

He also does not go around propagating atheism. A rational human being will know that you people are pained and disturbed, thats why you spend your lives here propagating atheism. Bill gates does not share such stupidity with y'all. Stop mentioning bill gates.

Even Mark Zuckerberg does not share such stupidity, he does not use facebook to propagate atheism. He recognizes and respects peoples beliefs and gives people the rights they deserve. Those are real human beings who really "Lack" a belief.

Why do you want people to "lack a belief" with you, if you really claim to lack a belief?

AmenRa1:
Bill gates is an atheist His wife religion is not his religion!! when will U guys get that into Ur tick skull, like the way they did for Darwin false conversion

We need to free everyone from those tales written by deluded people who had too much to drink

And when you are done freeing them?

You see your stupidity is alarming. You guys say its all for nothing and cant even act as such.
If nothing matters, why does it matter if someone believes or not?

Read up the poor boy's claim and see that there is nothing rational about his decision. Its all emotions, just like all of you.
The dude is probably going through a hard time with his parents for obvious reasons he deliberately omitted.
Do not force your trauma on people, they are not responsible for your woes.

analice107:
The last time I checked, you signed off from here, you were given a grand send off, but no, this fairy tale is too compelling, you can't stay away. I wonder why?.

You see what this lady said? You should think about it everyday of your life.
You signed off yesterday and still find it difficult to stay away from a fairy tale? Does that not prove you arn't in control of yourself?

Think dude, just think.

Here is the story of a former atheist who was actually open minded and didnt just parrot it.

Here is another former astheist astrophysicist sharing her story

[url=notashamedofthegospel.com/apologetics/proof-that-god-exists/]Here is another atheist that objectively weighed the evidence for and against God[/url]

Here is another christ hating atheist blogger who had spent all his life writing against christianity

These are real reasons, not some emotionally imbalanced kid that saw atheism are correct because he had questions. Its as silly as saying because I have questions about my country, then its better to act as if my country does not exist.

Do you live underground or are you just desperate to release news degrading christianity.

This news is stale, go cook up something more recent.
