Zeus777: what miraclei think ur question is why could nt joseph be d one to impregnate mary(correct me if i am wrong).1.for Christ to save us,he must be divine because man cannot save himself of his own sin and sinfulness.2.death is d penalty of sin and a divine being cannot.3.Christ had to be a man and d law of redemption in lev shows that Christ has to be our brother to redeem us.The birth of Jesus was a union of d divine and the human.5.He had to be born of the holyspirit because without d divine spirit no one can live a perfect life which is a requirement for redemption |

As most children tend to be I was obedient and reliant on whatever my caretakers said or advised. So, throughout my childhood I followed instructions and did as I was told - as far as singing in church, clapping, praying, reading my bible as well as complementary guides and books. However, I could never say I ever truly believed. As soon as I was old enough to be curious enough to ask questions I started to distance myself from religion. It was an easy transition for me. So - in short, why am I an atheist? Because I started to think... you know, for myself. I mostly wanted to reply to say that those of you that are claiming to be atheists due to anger are doing yourself an injustice. It's not rational to say you don't believe because most ideas of what a 'God' is happens to be unfair. You're dealing with the truth of life in an unproductive way. Life in general is unfair. People suffer with or without a god. People are wicked with or without a god. Poverty exists with or without a god. Diseases, war, corruption, immorality, etc. exist with or without a god. Your reason for atheism cannot be based on anger due to consequences of the human condition. Also, I've found having angry reasoning also makes for terrible, hateful, demeaning, condescending atheists. That's the last thing any of us should be, especially when we're under so much scrutiny. 8 Likes |

paulcr7: go and read Revelation 22:5 Why? So I can see how plants on earth can survive without sunlight? Or how there is light without stars? Why rely on fiction when reality is staring you in the face? That's the definition of delusion you know. You're eating foods that come from plants everyday, and using the caloric energy from that food to talk rubbish. 7 Likes |

Hmm.from the comments i've read.i want to bring out somethings. These atheists heart are sealed and there is nothing you can tell them they will never believe you.they can twist things to favour their own points, it is only the divine intervention of God that can help. Some are saying they have not seen the reason to believe in God..he did not answer their prayers blah blah blah.believing in God is a personal thing,you dont need anybody to tell you to believe in God.i believed in God because i know he exists and no matter what people say it can never change my belief,judging from somebody's comment he said ''God has never done something for him''. I know the things that has happened in my life and i know how God's presence has helped me. God is far far wiser than we human, so he will never because of some group of people do things.do you know the number of people that came to earth and gone?.and we are not the last that will come oh!. we cannot test God .can you? Read the book of eccleciates well it's there that there is time for every damn thing in this world so why on earth will God alter things .if you like you can say God is this God is that.He is a great king as far as i'am concerned. They claim they don't believe in deities and dieties don't exist....lol see ehn ''if you want to test for deities and gods just go to ondo and steal something from whatever gods u are not supposed to steal from if the god will not haunt you down. Just try it. The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom.the words of God is light. We are all given brain to choose so it depends on you.if you choose to serve yourself nobody will kill you,if you choose to serve stone you are free and if you choose to serve nothing ride on!. Things that will happen tomorrow no one knows but we are going to be accountable for things we do individualy .nobody can stand for you.but ''for God so LOVE the WORLD that he gave his only SON that whosoever BELIEVETH in him SHALL Not perish but have but have EVERLASTING life.nobody is a christian,muslim,atheist......from birth it is CHOICE made by people depending on the circumstances.

Sennard: I know the things that has happened in my life and i know how God's presence has helped me. So the presence of your God, who I'm guessing is different from boko haram's God, assisted you in overcoming your difficulties? Great. Now look at the bigger picture. Everything you 've gone through was meticulously designed by your God. There was no presence, just you carrying out the role for which you were programmed. He also programmed the Ebola virus to appear again at this particular time, as well as every atrocity you know or will hear about. If that's what you choose to believe, as a rational person, go ahead. I've resigned myself to the fact that some people cannot understand logic. My grandmother is an example, and for those people, a God is required. 4 Likes |

DeepSight:If my child was dying in my arms with no hope of medical cure, I would pray to god, to Satan, to FSM, to any invisible fairy that promises or pretends to offer a miracle. That is just basic human nature, and it very well explains not only the origins of religious beliefs, but also what sustains it even in the age of science and reason. 6 Likes |

Most comment here indicate some who claim to be an atheist are simply irreligious. Some are just confused. How can mere thinking makes someone an atheist? Does this mean the religious one do not have brain to think? Majority of atheist here should be tag as 'hateist'. They simply hate the word God; a word they cant define or know close to nothing about. Maybe I need to watch from the sideline, a real atheist might come and tell us how he/she becomes an atheist. 1 Like |

onetrack: No evidence of any particular god. Didn't believe the stories I was told. Mr Lets put the story you were told aside. Can you tell us what God is? And how this God does not exist? Actually, there has been evidence of god everywhere. Evidence of different gods and goddess. But I will like to know who you think God is and how that being do not exist. Thanks |

Weah96:bro,you don't believe in God that means you're not interested in things that has to do with him.let me make something clear to you though i've said before but i'll stil repeat it.God is not human that creates things over and over again he's perfect he has created once and not going to create again he created human and we replicate and other things too.so just like your mother gave birth to you can she add or remove any organ from you?

For the simple reason that there's not a shred of proof that a god exists. All gods and their accompanying religions are man made. It's as simple as that. |
Re: Why Are You An Atheist? by Weah96: 6:28pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
Sennard: Of course not. Is that even a possible evidence of someone who can do ANYTHING? Be serious. God is talking to you, well, I've got ears myself. How come he keeps his mouth close when others are investigating? |

mazaje: You know what bro. . . . . You definition seem fictitional to me too. Appears like something you created out of your head just to DISBELIEVE IN. I dont know so I will ask, what/who are Supernatural beings? Who told you those beings you termed as God created the Universe? Living outside the universe sound like deistic view. . . .is the word God only applicable to Deism? Does this mean you only disbelieve in Deistic conception of God? |

Sennard: Garbage!! Use your brain, sir. This is a foolish analogy. My mother is not omnipotent and omniscient, like the description of the biblical God. She didn't create ALL things in the universe. An omniscient person who creates all things has essentially thrown free will out the window. Everything operates according to plan. Children are r)aped because he programmed the r)apist. He also programmed Boko Haram to murder Christians. Everything, down to the smallest evil detail, was designed to operate perfectly as you see today. 2 Likes |
