Lets see.

The Bible is hogwash and nonsense
Gosh! some people are angry

KingEbukaNaija:
Atheists are the best in creating strawmen . They are gifted in that area .

Strawman na their middle name

KingEbukaNaija:
Don't forget their sexual attraction to animals bro

lmao..

lwkmd

bill, jeff and jim are serious minded persons. Atheists have a lot to learn from them...

Lets hear from real scientists.

The atheist logic:

If i'm not happy, then you cant be too.

Ouch!!
Let me hurt 'em with some more facts and proof.

In a recent study, the Centre de prévention contre les dérives sectaires liées à l'islam (CPDSI) found that 80% of French jihadists were raised in atheist familes. Does atheism leave a dangerous void that makes humans susceptible to embracing harmful ideologies?



Blaise Pascal rightfully wrote: “There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every person which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator.”

According to the atheists, everything we know of was created.




Well, Except the universe

Oya. Atheists (professionals in the strawman fallacy)

Carry your straws dey com, com change argument.
strawmen and women

Well, on a lighter mood, we can thank atheists for thrilling us with their omni-knowest skills and abilities . Below summarizes (as far as i can remember)the A-Z of atheists on nairaland especially in the religion section.


1. Let God and religion fill your heart to an extent that you just cant stop talking about him.
Yeah that's right, some of these young atheist fellaz might not sleep well if they do not talk about God. They look for the slightest opportunity to tell you how wicked, irrational, evil and negative the Creator is. But bear in mind that there is not right or wrong for the atheist - no evil, no good. So how can atheists come to this conclusion ... Beats me too. Tell me again how atheism is not confusion.




2. Claim to lack a belief in God. But constantly launch attacks on christianity to convince themselves that they really lack a belief. Why will a person attack something he does not believe?
Okay let us even break down the word "lack". "Lack" could be a noun or a verb. Atheists use the word as a verb.
The cambridge english dictionary defines the word as: /læk/
to not have any or enough of something, esp. something necessary, needed or wanted:
From this definition, we can see that God is needed. So what could this mean for the atheists?
Could it mean that they lack other necessary or needed items of life?
Cos if you ask me, lack can fuel anger and thus hatred .




3. Scavenge the religion section for harmless christian topics such as a believer thanking God for sparing his life. and dehumanize him.
I mean, if you open a thread with a simple title like "God I thank You for the gift of life", some atheist will be like "So how about those that are dying?" "So your God is picky and selfish".
But notice one thing. If you give an atheist a gift, he may thank you. He most certainly wont tell you that you are picky and selfish or ask about those who need the gift more. Atheists don't really know what to say, do they




4. Google search "bad stuffs in the bible" and post some verses taken out of context here, and instantly they become a bible scholar.
This one is very common, they can take a verse like: I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.-Psalm 118:17
And then tell you that the writer was high and silly, and that people die in reality. Seriously , have atheists ever heard of the word "context". I don't think so.




5. Claim to be a former christian but have little to zero understanding of the very basics of christianity.
You can only wonder what type of christian someone is or was when he asks such questions like: "Why did Jesus die and rise again, why didn't he stay dead?", 'Why did Jesus weep when Lazarus died?", "Why do believers suffer?".
Well, at least we now know those who were force-fed christianity by their parents or whoever.




6. Realize that Christ lived a perfect life and that christians look up to Christ, and so discard the teachings of Christ and focus more on the historical record of Israelites under the dispensation of the law (Sin and Death).
This point is a bit connected to point 5, cos one needs to understand the laws and dispensations.
-The law of Sin and death and,
-The new law of the Spirit of life in Jesus (grace)
What does Romans 8:2 tell us: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.




7. Deceptively ask christians for answers as if they really seek answers, while in reality they want to make a mockery of whatever answers they give.
They can ask questions like "why is there so much suffering in the world"?, and then you give an answer like "God did not promise us a rosy world but promised to walk through life with us if we allow Him and also, the existence of evil is corroborates the truth of scriptures"...
You may need to brace yourself after giving such a reply . A typical atheist may say "Shut up you fool, your God is wicked, selfish, vindictive and ......"



8. Preach to people that God does not exist, but say repeatedly that God is evil for allowing evil to exist.
Point no. 7 corroborates this. Pain may be too much for some people to handle. Nairaland is how some atheists deal with their pain.
(Ronald Inglehart (2010) confirms that religious people are usually happier than nonreligious people.

"Faith and Freedom: Traditional and Modern Ways to Happiness". In Ed Diener, John F. Helliwell, Daniel Kahneman. International Differences in Well-Being. Oxford University Press. pp. 378–385. ISBN 978-0-19-973273-9




9. Be historically illiterate about how religion especially christianity helped to usher in democracy in several parts of our world but dwell on the bad side of religion.
At the same time be historically illiterate about how the atheist countries that have ever existed have repressed democracy.




10. Mock christianity especially as dishonestly as possible.




11. Claim to be humanist but ignore the hundreds of lives lost daily to Islamic terror and focus on rubbishing the good news of Christ.
Should we talk about the actions of islam in recent times on France, Germany, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Northern Nigeria e.t.c.
Naah, atheists are less concerned with people who are easily radicalized on a daily basis to be murderers, they focus more on someone thanking God for his life.
Phew', At least we now know who really cares about humans. If christianity was as totalitarian as islam or atheist states, atheists voices wont be heard in the first place.




12. Appear to be open-minded to deceive the feeble-minded when in reality all your questions or arguments are put forth with a pre-conception of anti-religion.
An atheist could ask: "[i]Did Jesus really rise from the dead". I could almost be sure that this question is an attempt to mock the christian faith no matter how open-minded the op seems to be.
From my little stay on Nairaland, I can safely conclude that atheists here do not need any answers. They only want atheism to be true. at all cost




13. Reapeatedly advocate for the eradication of religion from the face of the earth but be historically illiterate that this same idea caused the deaths of over 260 million lives in the past 100 years alone.




14. Demonize the raising up of children in the way of the Lord, but turn a blind eye to their increasing access to nudity, alcoholism, indecency, hard drugs, thuggery e.t.c.




15. Claim to want to save the world and free humanity from the virus of religion but leave their family and friends to wallow in this so called "delusion".
It is pitiable that these atheists find solace only on nairaland. At home, they are as meek and timid as a cat and would prefer not to show their homies this newly struck gold. I put it to atheists that they are wicked and heartless to let their homies continue in their "delusions"




16. Say that religion is the cause of Nigeria's every problem but forget to mention other great religious countries and how religion especially christianity helped to usher in civilization. Atheists are quick to tell you that "Just look at Nigeria, our problem is religion"...
They like to capitalize on the current state of Nigeria .
Lol, we can laugh at them, because we know that China has a christian population of more than 1,349,585,838, U.S.A (316, 668,567), Nigeria (174,507,539), Russia (142,500,482), Japan (127,253,075). e.t.c
It doesn't really matter to the atheist. Religion (especially christianity) is the source of Nigeria's problems




17. Constantly tell us that we are products of meaninglessness and purposelessness but desperately want people to embrace such hopelessness.
Well, you can leave us the feck alone...What reality has continued to show is that every single item on earth serves a purpose. Don't try to dumb us down.




18. Open meaningless threads and threads based on mockery and mock christians who do not take them seriously.
This happens here all the time.




19. Join atheism because of unfortunate happenings in their lives and desperately want to impose their woes on others.
You lost a dear person and i'm sorry about your loss, I've lost too. But don't force force the effects it had on you on others. Good and bad happens all the time, ain't no need to impress your emotions on people's lives.




20. Deliberately create a non-existent gulf between christianity and science as if atheism had the sort of impact religion has had on science.
Well, thank God for some eye-opening threads that have shown us how christians propelled science and how atheists are desperately trying to hijack science. Atheists could almost tell you that "atheism=science".




21. Downplay the relief and outreach provided by religion to the less privileged. You may wanna go to camps of internally displaced persons, orphanages, prisons, hospital beds, poverty stricken parts of Africa. Here, you will find religious people from parts of the world lending help to the helpless.




22. Dishonestly downplay whatever evidence, fact or explanation given by a christian as lies so far it negates the stand of atheism.
Trust out atheist brothers and sisters on this




23. Dishonestly disregard scientific work done which proves that:

religion is a part of the human nature

And other research studies...

Even after all these, our atheist brothers will still demonize religion without conducting any research to reach such conclusion.




24. Dishonestly claim that Jesus Christ is a myth like zeus, horus, and co. even in the face of proof.
Well, we know it will be irrational for you to dismiss the obvious if Jesus ever existed. . So its better to reject outrightly the fact that He ever existed.




25. Claim to be the all-rational, all-logical, all-knowing, all-intellectual, all-reasonable, all-wetin again.


Abeg make i drop my pen.


Atheists I hail ooo.

Oksman:
He may be saying the truth, i once witnessed the same scenario one day inside my church when an elderly started vomitting, even those who were on the same row with him failed to assist him, it was me who comforted him, went outside to collect sand bought water to wash his shoe, then a young girl (of about 12/13) now joined me while i was clearing the mess, while other watched to my consternation possibly assuming i was related to him. The reason is simply because the msge this days dwells more on seed, sacrifice and tithe, than love.

I agree with you my brother. Some christians are a shame. And it is those one that will scorn at unbelievers Nawa ooo..

1. The only evidence we have here is a picture that only shows a man on the ground and another trying to help him. It shows no church.
And any one can make the same accusation giving such weak evidence.

2. If the story is true, then shame on those people in the church if they saw the man and did nothing.

3. God bless the man that helped.

4. Even if so called "christians" start to go against the teachings of Christ today, we can always remember the picture below.

K9blunt:
Based on the arguments of theist (most especially. Kingebukasblog and winner 10)


I don't get why the juju that exists then and till now were not able to stop the britons from colonizing us back then.


If it's your almighty God why didn't he stop the mass killings done to Christians by Constantine.

Same with Queen Mary Tudor known as 'bloody mary' back then killing people that broke out of the Catholic Church...


Isn't it all fallacy or does your God like like horror movies?

So Because God allowed men their freewill and men decided to become a god for themselves, therefore God does not exist.

How old are these people

KingEbukaNaija:
True though . I have not seen planets but I believe there are billions of them because books told me . Wow !!

Yes na, books told us everything we know.

macof:
imagine bringing religion into everything, Muslims will say the sun rests in a pond, Christians will say rainbows are the bow of God to remember his promise to Noah. ..I was told this 3 weeks ago by a christian after she rejected my explanation that rainbows are reflection of light on water droplets

someone once told me there are no other planets like Mars, Jupiter etc because the bible didn't say it, he even claimed there's no evidence, it's just oyinbo trick

The girl who rejected your rainbow explanation and the someone who told you about the planets speak for themselves.

The someone might even be justified in talking about evidence for the existence of planets because im damn sure you read about the planets in books. So if he's asking for evidence, please be prepared to take him to space, afterall seeing is beliving.

macof:
what has the big bang theory got to do with Christianity? that it was proposed by a Catholic priest doesn't make it an achievement of Christianity because it wasn't proposed in honour of any christian principle
if anything it goes against Christianity. .. what happened to "and God said"?

lemme ask you, why has the big bang theory not been embraced by churches?

Which churches are you people talking about?

Niflheim:
@winner01,

What a question, how I wish I knew!!! However there is one thing I can assure you!!!..............................Their pastors, their churches, their bible and their religion would be 100% against their research, assuming there were christians amongst them!!!

Yeah, because the book of Bible chapter atheism verse foolishness says: Do not engage in science or the understanding of your world, else you have automatically turned your back on your God now and forever.

You know what, just keep your delusion to yourself

Niflheim:
The person who "claimed" that Louis Pasteur was in charge of the project to genetically engineer cows, should please go back and do a proper research on the topic!!! The cow I am referring to was engineered around 2011, to produce "HUMAN BREAST MILK"!!!

The "super cow" lacks a substance that causes allergic reactions in humans!!! The name of the substance is "BLG"(Beta lactoglobulin protein)!!!
The scientists simply shut off the genes that produced this "BLG" that is present in the milk of ruminants!!!

The name of the cow is called Daisy,from New Zealand!!!

The Louis Pasteur that you are referring to, died in 1895!!!

so were the scientists atheists?

Mizblinks:
naah, but I will look it up. Thanks....

That link is about a church that has little or nothing in representing christianity. Christianity is not science even though majority of the scientists that got us where we are today are christians. It is like comparing arts and social science. Do not believe whatever you read about christianity or the christian God on wikipedia, i can give you proof that it waters down the truth of christianity.

Niflheim:
@OP,

Good day, I have a list of the contributions of Christianity to science..................

1.When Galileo taught that the sun was at the center of the Solar system, they made sure that he died in prison.

Galileo was a christian persecuted by the catholic church. The catholic church also killed other christians for teaching from the Bible instead of "officially sanctioned" roman catholic materials.

Niflheim:
2.When human kids were allergic to cow milk, and scientists decided that a cow engineered to produce human milk we be the solution, the church claimed that it is a sin to "play god"!!!

Christian scientists engineered it. Louis pasteur particularly made the breakthtough you are talking about here. And he was a strong christian.

Niflheim:
@OP,

3.When condoms were created for bith control, the church insisted that it is better to have sex without condoms in spite of the risk of HIV, because god said, "be fruitful and multiply"!!! !

Who is the church that said?

Niflheim:
@OP,

4.When scientists used the blood of a man to cure sick children(the man with the golden arm), the church was against it, because according to them, blood transfusions are a sin!!! James Harrison used his blood to save 2 million babies!!!

Who is this church you speak about, that decides whether blood transfusion is a sin or not.
And was james harrison atheist?

johnydon22:
i miss our own days when we had very good sound discussions here.

Who is this one?
Which days? Last year and the early parts of this year was your most active parade on this section?

Same way you said you have matured to philisophical atheism.
Its took you just a year and half to realize that daft isnt working.

johnydon22:
i have once said "Atheism is sweeping through the world like a wild fire, it is futile to fight it.

Yeah right, it has been spreading like wild fire since the 15th century and has still been predicted by experts to fall over the next 15 years.

We will keep exposing the foolishness of atheism cos we now know the subtle plot on this section. Your strategic plea's wont change that.

Getting facts on issues like this from wikipedia is almost the same as seeking godly answers from nairaland religion section.


Historically illiterate atheists love to claim that atheism had nothing to do with communist ideology or that communism
was another religious ideology, we will let the communist leaders speak for themselves in their own words. Here are more quotes from communist atheists who express their goal to
create an atheist society and you can notice many of their ideals are shared by today's atheists (especially that the eradication of religion leading to a better and more equal
society):


"The criticism of religion is the prerequisite of all criticism. ...
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. ... The criticism of
religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and
regained his senses ..."- Karl Marx, A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, 1844



"As socialism grows, religion will disappear. Its disappearance must be done by social development, in which education must play a part."- Karl Marx, Interview with Karl
Marx, Chicago Tribune, January 5 1879


"We want to sweep away everything that claims to be supernatural and superhuman, and thereby get rid of untruthfulness, for the root of all untruth and Lying is the pretension of the human and the natural to be superhuman and supernatural. For that reason we have once and for all declared
war on religion and religious ideas ..."- Friedrich Engels (co-founder of Marxist theory), Review of Thomas Carlyle's Past and
Present, 1844



"The Communist Party of the Soviet Union is guided by the conviction that only conscious and deliberate planning of all the social and economic activities of the masses will cause
religious prejudices to die out. The Party strives for the complete dissolution of the ties between the exploiting classes and the organizations of religious propaganda, facilitates the real emancipation of the working masses from religious prejudices and organizes the widest possible scientific
educational and anti-religious propaganda."- Political Program of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union), adopted
March 22, 1919 at the Eighth Congress of the Russian Communist Party, section 13


"We must deepen a revolutionary world-outlook, we must fight the religious prejudices in the youth and approach the youth, including those having religious prejudices, with the maximum pedagogical attentiveness of the more educated towards the less educated. We must go to them with the propaganda of atheism, for only this propaganda defines the place of man in
the universe and draws out for him a circle of conscious activity here on earth."- Leon Trotsky, The Position of the Republic and
the Tasks of Young Workers, 1922



“Scientific communism, in its judgements concerning natural phenomena, is guided by the data of the natural sciences, which
are in irreconcilable conflict with all religious imaginings. … In practice, no less than in theory, communism is incompatible with religious faith. … THE TRANSITION FROM SOCIALISM TO COMMUNISM … WILL BRING ABOUT THE NATURAL DEATH OF
ALL RELIGION AND ALL SUPERSTITION.”- N.I. Bukharin and E. Preobrazhensky: The ABC of Communism, Chapter 11:
Communism and Religion, 1922



“Communist society will bury forever all mysticism, religion, prejudice and superstition and will give a powerful impetus to the development of all-conquering, scientific knowledge. ... One of the most important tasks of the cultural revolution affecting the wide masses, is the task of systematically and unswervingly combating religion-the opium of the people. ... the proletarian State ... carries on anti-religious propaganda with all the means at its command and reconstructs the whole of its
educational work, on the basis of scientific materialism.” - The Programme of the Communist International. Comintern Sixth
Congress 1929



“It is furthermore imperative to put the propaganda of atheism on solid ground. … It is necessary to produce a book on the church's struggle against science.” - Maxim Gorky (Soviet writer, a founder of the socialist realism literary method and a
political activist), Letter from Gorky to Stalin, November 29, 1929, on the organization of antireligious propaganda



"We carry on and will continue to carry on propaganda against religious prejudices. ... The Party cannot be neutral towards religion and does conduct anti-religious propaganda against all and every religious prejudice because it stands for science, while religious prejudices run counter to science, because all
religion is something opposite to science. ... The Party cannot be neutral towards the bearers of religious prejudices, towards
the reactionary clergy who poison the minds of the toiling masses. Have we suppressed the reactionary clergy? Yes, we have. The unfortunate thing is that it has not been completely liquidated. Anti-religious propaganda is a means by which the
complete liquidation of the reactionary clergy must be brought about."- Joseph Stalin (the leader of the Soviet Union from the
mid-1920s until his death in 1953), Questions & Answers to American Trade Unionists: Stalin's Interview With the First
American Trade Union Delegation to Soviet Russia,1927



“Our program of antireligious propaganda consists of the masses not only breaking ties with churches but also overcoming elements of religious consciousness. We should
help them free themselves of all traces of religious consciousness, help them cultivate a scientific, materialistic understanding of the world to free them of all elements of religiosity-this is the goal of our program. To separate not only church from state, but also the individual from the church. This program is being fulfilled by propaganda, by organizing our Union of Militant Godless. It is carried out in literature, in public rallies, in our newspapers, magazines, books, brochures, theatres, movies, radio. … Our party program regarding religion shows that freeing the masses from religion is related to how successfully we will implement planning of all facets of economic life in our country. This means, when we are able to organize our economy so that every worker, every peasant will know that the result of his work depends only on his collective or individual efforts and does not depend on any other powers, only then will the masses be free from religion."- Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, Conversation between IAroslavskii and an
American delegation headed by Sherwood Eddy, August 2, 1932, concerning antireligious propaganda



"A person cannot act correctly, cannot act in an organized manner as a Communist, as a Leninist, if his brain is poisoned by religion. In order to overcome the tremendous difficulties which confront us; in order to remold the world as the working class and the peasantry want it to be; in order to subjugate all the forces of nature and compel them to work for the welfare of mankind; in order to change social relationships from top to bottom; in order to eradicate war between nations, to exterminate poverty from the face of the earth—it is necessary that every person, that every peasant and worker sees things as they are, without the intervention of gods, saints, angels, fiends, goblins, were-wolves, and other spirits, good or evil." –
Yemelyan Yaroslavsky (the head of the League of Militant Godless), Religion in the U.S.S.R., 1934



"The overthrow of religious authority and the eradication of superstition are going on everywhere."- Mao Zedong (the founding father of the People's Republic of China, which he governed as Chairman of the Communist Party of China), REPORT ON AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PEASANT MOVEMENT IN HUNAN, 1927



"The world is nothing else but the material world in a process of unlimited development… Dialectical materialism's theory of movement is in opposition first of all with philosophical idealism and with the theological concepts of religion. The fundamental nature of all philosophical idealism and religious theology derives from their denial of the unity and material nature of the world; and in imagining that the movement and development of the world takes place apart from matter, or took place at least in the beginning apart from matter, and is the result of the action of spirit, God, or divine forces ... All of these doctrines which think about movement apart from matter are fundamentally incompatible with dialectical materialism..."- Mao Zedong,
DIALECTICAL MATERIALISM, 1938



"We will substitute materialism for philosophical idealism and atheism for theism."- Mao Zedong, Examples Of Dialectics, 1959



"Party organisations must direct their most serious attention to the improvement of atheist propaganda. Anti-religious propaganda must be more offensive, combatant, more direct. .
."- Mzhavanadze (at the 20th Congress of the Georgian Communist Party), Zarya vostoka, 26 January 1960.

An editorial in Nauka i religiya ("Science and Religion", a monthly Soviet atheist journal) during 1963 spoke of the current programme of communist construction as including: "the
complete and final overcoming of religious survivals and the liberation of people's consciousness from prejudices and superstition. Communism will be an atheist society, where the religious mist is finally dispelled, where people are delivered for
ever from fantastic religious representations."- Nauka i religiya
6, 1963, p. 2.



"In 1964, in accordance with the directive of the TSK KPSS [CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE USSR] "Concerning Efforts to Improve the Atheist Education of the Population," a required or elective course entitled "The Fundamentals of Scientific Atheism" was introduced at
institutions of higher learning. Specialized departments of scientific atheism were organized at 20 institutions of higher
learning. In 1973 a new textbook entitled Scientific Atheism was published. … Different kinds of extracurricular activities such as
the involvement of students in research on atheism, atheist discussion clubs and seminars, sociological surveys, atheistic
propaganda for the general public, and so forth could play a major role in the atheistic education of students. Atheist clubs,
which have been organized at several institutions of higher learning (the Leningrad and Daugavpils Teachers' Institutes, the
Tallin Poly technical Institute, and so forth), schools for organizers of alternative rituals, schools for young atheist lecturers, and so forth have become an effective tool for atheist education in a number of cities."- Report by Institute for Scientific Atheism, May 21, 1974, to the Central Committee on
increasing effectiveness of atheistic education among youth



"The task devolves on us to carry the revolution continuously ahead, to create and strengthen the new world-outlook in the
minds and consciousness of people, who should live and think like revolutionaries, who should explain the phenomena of life,
develop and settle relations among themselves, between themselves and society, no longer in the old way, no longer
according to the idealist, religious, bourgeois outlook, but according to the materialist, atheist, socialist world-outlook."-
Enver Hoxha (the Communist leader of Albania from 1944 to 1985, which was the first ever officially declared atheist nation
in the world), ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEM OF THE ALBANIAN WOMAN, June 15, 1967



"The religious ideology clouds the human mind and paralyses their will for the transformation of nature and society. ... The
class struggle for the construction of socialism cannot be separated from the struggle against religion."- Enver Hoxha,
Yugoslav "Self-Administration" - Capitalist Theory and Practice, 1978



“All worship of supernatural forces can be called superstition. Religions are superstition … Marxism says, "religion is the opiate that lulls the spirits of people, and is the tool by which the exploiting class controls the people". Marxists all oppose religion in any form. … Among the masses, there are still some ancient practices stemming from superstitions … Solving them only needs patient persuasion and a long period of cultural, scientific, and atheistic education.”- The People's Daily (an official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party), “Religion
and Feudal Superstitions”, (15 March 1979).

I will not debate you because you do not need a debate, you need facts.

And I have a whole lot for you.

dalaman:
The Jews whose customs you follow as sacrosanct and who happen to be your God marry their children at age 12 for girls and 13 for boys. That is why sex with kids does not appear as a crime in the bible. When Moses was to take ladies as war boots. Those that had never slept with a man before we're to be shared including kids. They do not know anything liken pedophilia. They mostly married teenage kids.

We do not follow the customs of the Jews, we follow the teachings of Jesus.
Ive posted His take on littoe children and so you can wave your hands all you want.

hopefulLandlord:
We hear several murder cases in "adult marriage" too

"It may be because the " adult " was obviously offended "



Oga, Cancer, HIV, Ebola were not yet discovered then

However sex and marriage have always been, so these examples are invalid



No one has answered, your posts here actually shows your intellectual dishonesty


How cute

Naah.'"
Yo do not see answers because you do not seek answers.

I know the motives of atheists on Nairaland and thats why I have stopped giving to them Biblical explanations. Its better to discuss atheism with them so that they can see how empty and vain it really is.


For the sake of readers, I try to explain in the simplest manner.

Jesus expressed great love, care and concern towards children. He also stressed the truth of His father's concern for children in the opening parts of Matthew chapter 18.


In the same chapter, Jesus seriously warns; “But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me or cause them to sin, it would have been better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the deepest part of the sea” (Matthew 18:6).

Offending a child or causing a little child to sin may mean many things.
We have heard of several murder cases in child marriage, where the child bride murders the husband. It may be because the child was obviously offended.

The word paedophilia does not appear in the Bible and so are several other words such as: age of consent, encyclopaedia, HIV, Cancer, Ebola and other contemporary terms.
And so to expect the Bible written several hundreds of years ago to mention all the words or laws we use today is folly.


This and the responses above are the answers to the Op, but sadly they are more interested in mocking rather than trying to understand the Word of God.

It seems to me that nothing would serve as someone for evidence for someone who desperately wants to wish God away.
But if you wish God does not exist, why try to encourage other people to share your futile wishes?.

Another half truth and juxtaposition to make your point just like your brother Naijadehia

I said the more atheist bashing thread you open the more " Popular " we get


Keyword: "Popular"

That's why Balotelli is more popular than much better skilled attackers

But whatever you say

Yawns ''

So is God evil?

KingEbukaNaija:
Why can't these atheists think ?! Why ?! For Christ's sake .... why ?! Why?! I am talking about the punishment for depravities is stricttly for the Jews not that the depravity is only for the Jews


Don't let insult me anyone here . What kind of slow pathetic comprehension is this Please don't mention me if you guys can't comprehend .

That stephenmorris is particulary slow in comprehension.

I noticed it in how he composed his replies.

hopefulLandlord:
Theists being killed here on a per minute basis

Their hypocrisy is rearing its ugly head

Keep saying what you wish for, your wishes may come true.

The same way you wanted me to stop opening atheist threads but were unintelligent im going about it. I remember you type something like "the more atheist threads you open, the more atheists get stronger. As if i'm as dumb as your fellow atheists

Just beg for your life and stop being empty.

HardMirror:
I don't see how attacking atheism addresses the op here. Posting memes and making Jokes seems like a tactic to evade the op and distract readers.

I will be as daft as any random atheist to address mockery.

If you Lack a belief in God, God wont dominate your life to an obsession extent.

If someone bores or annoys me with the tale of santa claus, I smile at his foolishness and pass.

The op does not deserve an answer because an answer is not what he really needs.
