Then they are stupid. Religion makes people stupid.

analice107:

Na by force? I no want ya money.
To come chop na to come die?
Mr Atheist, carry ya money go ya haus

Ranchhoddas:
They should ask the children who need the money whether they want the money or not. They shouldn't be making stupid decisions because of their religious discomfiture. If you had a charity, would you reject a donation from Seun Osewa or even Dangote because he's Muslim?

analice107:


If I know Seun Personally, i wont collect his money, reasons being that, that's the work of God and he doesn't believe in God, why will he want to support Gods work? Spiritual alarms will go off immediately he steps into my office. God can take care of his own.
We don't need Satan's money to survive.

Its like a man who steals and takes the money to a Pastor who knows that the money was stolen, if he accepts it, he is an accomplice to that crime, but if that thief drops the money in a Freewill offering box, the Pastor wouldn't know who dropped the money, he will use that money for the work of the Kingdom, but no blessing will go to the thief.

I wont collect money from An atheist to do the work of God.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness, but keep ya money.

I'd advise you read the parable of the Good Samaritan and assert yourself with moral import of that little parable.
That's my little advice to you.

analice107:

Sir, the good Samaritan is the last parable you shd use as an allusion here. The good Samaritan, although not Jew, but never hated God.

Atheists neither believe in Satan, God or anyone at dat..they are not believers..

As for ur analogy.. I hope you know all these pastors see these secular musicians who promote nudity and obscenities in their churches..
Paying tithes and offerings...
Why weren't they stopped at d church's gate or not allowed to collect offering envelopes?

Lastly, in jesus's time, there were no Christians, infact, the only ppl dat were close to being believers of what wud later be our Christian faith were the 12 disciples who were only listeners Buh not doers of the word as at then...these people were saddled with d responsibility of providing everything needed to facilitate jesus's ministry from feeding to movement via donkeys etc
They even produced 5loaves of bread and 2fish outta the blue to feed a multitude..
Were all these produced from ppl who had same belief system with jesus?
We both know the answer is NO
He cud av rejected dem sinx the Jewish belief system is not concordant with what he preached.
Ask urself... Why he didn't

Ranchhoddas:
Even if his money would help children in distress?

analice107:

Why should he care for Children? What purpose is there to save them? Aren't they bags of cells with no purpose?

Human beings are nothing but cells right? We have no purpose on earth, so why should he have the need to save them from distress?

On a normal day, his duty shd be to come there, try to make us see why we should be against God. He will blame the nonexistent God for the disaster which brought the distress in the first place.
His duty would be to blame God for everything and make us see how wicked God is to just sit there and watch us go through all that distress.

Why should he use his money to help deluded and brainwashed people who believe in a fairy tale?
You get my drift?

FearGodAndLive:

So atheists hate God? You still have no idea what atheism means. Or I'd even say, for one who is so religious, you have no idea what love is.

Atheism is a position that God does not exist. Claiming Atheists hate God is like claiming Christians hate Allah. This has been repeated so many times on this board.

It's amazing that you can't recognize charitable gifts if they are not given under the guise of religions. Shouldn't charity be about intents rather than beliefs? Would you take a donation from a Muslim, Hindu or Babalawos? They also believe in God too.

I'll leave you with this

Matthew 25
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

youngestland:


so what are you doing on nairaland, its seuns forum you know and hes an athiest

Ranchhoddas:
You have no drift. You like many others have still not learnt what atheism is. You have given it your own warped definition and have decided to operate using that definition. Atheism is lack of belief and nothing else.

flamingREED:
Some people think we're joking.

1 Corinthians 16
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

He's accursed, and so are all his wealth.

Anas09:

And their lack of belief is geared towards pulling those who have the belief down ekwa?
Are you sure you know what atheism really is? Besides, why are atheists so gear towards dicrediting Yahweh?

Home ane abroad, i dont see atheist fighting other religions, Why Yahweh and his followers alone? Are we the only religious people? Pulissssssssssss, as matter of fact the fight is targetted more on evangelical Christians why?

analice107:

Am not sure you read my post.

If you believe that atheists are not satanists then you are yet to discover your environment.

1. Out of greed and cheap popularity, pastors have taken the street into the church rather than taking the Church to the streets. Those pastor are not interested in the salvation of souls for which Christ died for. My question to you is, how are they faring Spiritually?
So you think the Church is a building and how populated it is?
A Church is where the power of the Holy Ghost is being made manifest. Not fabricated manifestations, not occultic induced manifestations. I mean undeniable manifestations.

2. You are very Funny. Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew, all his Apostles were Jews, his other followers were Jews. Jesus Christ did not come preaching outside of their holy book, He preached their religion. The colt was owned by Jew, the five loafs of bread was provided by a disciple.
This your analogy is not in any way connected to my points.

Seun is an Atheist. A man who will pay to see people turned away from Christ. The question is, why will he want to give out his money to further the Kingdom of Christ? Until that question,
*I no dey*

Anas09:


This people are so funny. Why bring love into this matter now.
What is the purpose of Love to an theist bikonu?

Ranchhoddas:
This is simply. What you percieve as fight targeted against you is simply a reaction to your endless proselytizing and threats. They don't attack other faiths with much fervour because they do not go about preaching with your intensity...Another reason is because most of them were once Christians; an ex-Muslim atheist is going to spend more time attacking Islam than any other religion.

FearGodAndLive:

Nothing further to add. Only your love na real love. Congrats, Madam. Only you sabi love. Love is a Christian attribute, not a human one. Well done, ehn. Congrats.

trapQ:
Beautiful.... You always have good views on many issues. So many churches have indeed folded spiritually and physically because the pastors were too greedy that they took money from devil worshippers, prostitutes, thieves etc knowing fully well what those people do for a living.

On the contrary, there's no harm to the pastor or ministry if such donations are done anonymously.
