What Has God Done For You? by Nobody: 8:54am On Sep 17, 2015
I'm curious o
What has He personally done for you?

When you're blessed, you praise His name.
When you're distraught, you call Satan.

When someone that does weed all day and has never been to church 'thanks' God for his blessings, I'm just....confused embarassed
Is God just something we call to feel good?

Nigeria is the most religious country I can think of
But compared to other countries who believe in atheism, homosexuality, science, they are flourishing more than us even

What convinces you He exists?
What is one thing He has done for you that atheists don't have?

I just want to know sad

I believe in God.


God is creator of the Universe...He loves us all no matter the religion. You don't expect Him to cease the breath of an atheist, a scientist etc.

He's slow to anger and full of mercy.

Great time to address this....More concerned to answer this cus its from you and you the same chick who came on my thread some time ago to call me out for being atheist.

This question according to you is what every intelligent head ask and am glad you starting to act in that regard and ask questions but I tell you what,asking questions like this would never make you run out of more questions to ask and in the process you 'd realize,you have been stuck in the matrix.



Like you already know,I'm the internal atheist outside the matrix who is able to disable all god(s) mentally and leave religion concepts sounds more like literature metaphor to empirical reality.


god does nothing for nobody but the inner you which is your mind is the conscience of god in you to perceive the none existent god but yourself. To prove my hypothesis


In the book Ronson that starts with AA, For every winner who attributes his success to god is also another looser who blames god. #proudAtheist #ill mind #Nerd #Poc #Logic #hopsin #Dizzy right #goodwithoutgod #godless #nofuckgiven

(Nigeria is the most religious country I can think of)

I think it is a culture thing for most Nigeria Christians to over do things. Most are self righteous. Believing they are the first to know God and will be the first to see Christ at his second coming. I call it Outward Christianity. The heart of a man is the very first key.

( (But compared to other countries who believe in atheism, homosexuality, science, they are flourishing more than us even ) )

This has nothing to do with believing in God or not. It is "Common Grace" from the Creator to all mankind. You believe or not u will still die, be rich or poor, sick or health, marry and have kids, eat or hungry etc. The word "common" here means something that is common to all pple and is not restricted to believers or to the elect only. In distinction from common grace, the grace of God tht brings pple to salvation is often called "saving grace". Of course, when we talk about "common grace" and "saving grace" we are not implying tht there re two different kinds of grace in God himself, but only tht God's grace manifests itself in the world in two different ways. Common grace is different from saving grace in its results *it does not bring about salvation*, in its recipients (its given to believers and unbelievers alike).


((What convinces you He exists?
What is one thing He has done for you that atheists don't have?))

D problem here is tht it is not God’s desire to just convince pple that he exists. But his desire for people to believe in him by faith. See (2 Peter 3:9) and accept by faith His gift of salvation (John 3:16). God has proved his existence many tyms in the OT (Genesis 6-9; Exodus 14:21-22; 1 Kings 18:19-31). Did the people believe tht God exists? Of course yes. Did dey turn 4rom their evil ways and obey God? Of course no. If a man is not willin to accpt God’s existence by faith, then he is definitely not ready to accept Jesus Christ as Savior by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Yes i have Christ. But an athiest does not. John 6:26 Jesus answered, the work of God is this:to believe in the one he has sent. And Roman 10:9 If you confess with your mouth tht Jesus is Lord and believed in your heart that God raised him from dead, you will be Saved.

The mind works in mysterious ways. When a mad man speaks to himself, do you wonder what his reality is? He seeS what is not there from your own point of view, but to him something/someone is actually communicating to him.

The seemingly right thinking mind could also be delusion in this like. The mind needs answers to a lot of things but the activity of digging and thinking deep can be stressful to the brain hence the 'God did' it answer.

Thanking God for goods things is an easy way out in understanding complex events. So many people accept religious teachings because it provides an escape from endless wonder of what life and its activities are all about and provides a comfort to the worrisome possibility that we could actually be here, going though the stress and drama of life for nothing.

After so many hardship in our environment, stress and working hard, the thought of God and the believe in his love is the only way our people can find peace.

I personally write books to escape reality... Different people do all sort of things to escape the feeling if vaniity that tends to overwhelm us at times.

But what and who is God? A being humans spend all their lives worshipin and arguing yet he has always been no where to be found.

Recall our forefathers believed in something too, thy had idols and believed it was also good to them just the way present age now internalize their idol and believe it is nice to them too.

I find it very annoying when someone who (let us assume) does not know anything about the Bible and God, asks a question such as this maybe so that he/she can learn from Christians and then we see Christians come to give answers but all they can do is to quote the Bible and tell us what John, Paul, Mathew, Moses and the rest said without being able to say how it personally concerns or affects them.

WHAT HAS GOD DONE FOR YOU? this is a very plain question void of ambiguity that demands a firm and personal answer as it concerns you personally but here we have people quoting the Bible and not really answering the question posed by MzNelly.

[b]I have always affirmed that religious ideologies are ones derived to make a psychological soft landing pillow for people even when such postulations do not conform to the reality of the subject.

We have always heard statement like "God will provide" mustered by a mind that intends to derive hope from the channel of his/her circumstance to an abstract concept there fore creating a pillow of the mind where the mind embraces hope even if it's not there.

And this has being infused into every aspect of human life that it is hard to separate human society from the effects of religious ideologies.

To the most dangerous and unfair part of this that this psychological escape route rids people of their ability to take responsibility for their actions to the extent that we see people Thanking a God for the results of their actions or the actions of the people around them or blaming a devil for their failures.

An unjust idea and one of the most pernicious of such ideologies is that it makes the culpable end up begging a God for forgiveness to rid their guilt instead of apologizing to the people they have actually harmed or offended.

I have looked at the world from both a religious and an irreligious point of view, even though we look for magics, we look up to deities and other concepts that can be dubbed imaginative to pilot or affect our circumstances and actions.

One truth stands out, we are the only ones that can affect our actions and circumstances of ourselves and also that of others around us.

I do not need a God to determine my actions or purpose, neither will i give any abstract concept credit for my accomplishments or that of mankind.

I will never for one moment think that unfortunate events are part of the plans or the games of a deity be it a devil or a god.

Amidst all this "faith" "hope" and clamor for an escape route, i have always affirmed that:

"We do not need the help of any God or devil or any other vague concepts human have and revere, but rather we only need ourselves and each other."

Fair enough,but you did not see god. You are obviously not your body,when you die you are still you. That's what you experienced. The body is only a Vehicle. You claimed you felt overwhelming sense of peace which means you briefly turned into pure energy as you were out of your cage.
