CelestineNelson:

It is very clear that you've not encountered God...
Let me tell you why you want to be an athiest

1. The freedom to believe and live the way you want is so important to you than the fact that they is someone in charge of the whole thing and having a standard that will hold you accountable to, is just way too much to submit yourself to him- because that means he might put a wet blanket in some of the things you want to do

2 maybe just because you can not prove his existence, you now concluded there is no God.
Before you come up with a reply to this go and think again...
Please Let me show you JESUS...I know God allow me to show you God...

Righteousness89:
Leave Religion bro but embrace a relationship with JESUS CHRIST! That's what matters!

JESUS CHRIST is all you need in this life and in eternity!

first of all south Africa is western, western country is not by continent, Australia is western,new Zealand is,japan and south South Korea is,when you say western,it means practice not location, and when i talk about heaven dont mean paradise but eternity, don't get it twisted, when someone die they say he goes to heaven, paradise or hell no one is sure,but the way pink people lives,they don't care about eternity, thats why even when they find out asteroids are coming towards earth,the dont go to fasting and prayers to enter paradise,they either look for a way to stop it or get busy finding another planet that can inhabit mankind.they are hiding something from us, there is this movie about end of the world the title is either 2010 or 2012,i watched it around 2009,i was afraid then maybe it was a wake up call,but one thing i noticed in the movie is that from the beginning to the end of the movie,the said nothing about going to heaven,china was building ship while Americas,europeans and middle east rich people were busy buying space on the ship,but nothing waa mentioned of Africa in the movie, this Nigerian -british actor in half of the yellow sun was on of the main actors, this guys are not telling us something.

sonmvayina:


Who is talking about God?

I was referring to Jesus... Everything you said about God there, is exactly what I believe too.. But Jesus, he is just a Roman fabrication and creation..

BlackManta:


Is the religion responsible for the inventions.

Did they spend their days studying bibles or did they study science teachings and the works of other great scientist.

What has religion got to do with how a computer processes information

You are grasping at straws to defend religion.

cyril10:
Whatever you are doing remember that except a man be born again he cannot enter into the kingdom of God, be not deceived by the devil whose only focus is to send as many that are willing to go to hell with him. Wise people are running to Jesus for salvation before it is too late, you are to the devil to destroy your soul in hell. Wise up young man.

Christianity is a not a religion. True Christianity is a way of life. The Pharisees were practitioners of religion, and yet Christ condemned them because they did not have love for God in their hearts.

How can you love God whom you cannot see, when you cannot love your neighbour whom you can see? You hate people from a particular tribe, you hate people because they are progressing more than you, you stab people in the back to climb ahead, you gloat over people's misfortune, you live in malice and unforgiveness, you are not a Christian even if you attend all the programs and services in your church.

Not all who call on God, will enter into the kingdom. Why did Jesus make that statement? Go figure.

With my personal Experience, Observation and inner conviction, I think I dont want to be part of any religion again. This thing is truely an opium of illusion meant for people who cant take their destiny in their hands and for a sheeple masses.

Despite withdrawing from religion I found myself even having a better moral compass which I cant explain. We are throwing away common sense, hardwork and universal principles to leave in illusion. At the end of my observation I have come to the conclusion that its what you do for yourself that counts more.

When I see poor people dying of hungry in a country which have the capacity to be the global industrial hub I know we have throw away common sense, Nigeria biggest investment to South Africa is Religious buildings (Church) while here in Nigeria the South Africans brought us MTN, DSTV, SHOP RITE e.t.c which employs thousands of people and gives profit to our Investors inventing in the stocks and shares of those companies I realise religion is lack of common sense.

No amount of religion can make you succesful without application of common sense.
No amount of religion can make your marriage succesful without application of common sense and consideration for your partner.
No amount of religion can a nation grow and prosper without application of common sense, productivity and good policies.

At the end of it I think am leaving religion, its not worth it. Even uprightness and moral comes from a person inner conviction and not because of religion.

omoiyamayor:
lol you are the one that needs to wise up you know why? Because you are busy talking about a place you never been to and you are abandoning your responsibilities,you taking all your time thinking about heaven when you are still on earth,even the bible said,don't bother because of tomorrow because it will take care of itself, even the bible is giving us clue yet you are ignoring it.i am 29 now,at my age baba adeboye was busy thinking about having family and living a good life but you are telling me to be thinking about heaven when we have a country and continent to fix.

OK bye. Why are you even telling you? You are looking for supporters abi. Mtcheeew

Those pastors are snake oil salesmen.

If they were really about bringing positive change then Nigeria would be the opposite of what it is.

OriOko88:
Bull crap baldadash. You know nothing kid. Instead of you to be fighting for an egalitarian society in which rule of law and good governance prevails, you're ranting about religion. Is religion the cause of poverty in Africa? Is religion responsible for the poor governance we have in Nigeria or Africa? Infact religion opposes the oppression of the masses as well stated in the holy books

Let me tell you, most of the highly developed countries we have today, their foundation are based on the tenents of bible principles. UK, US, France, Italy, Germany are where they're today be cause of their believe in religion. US was established by respectable men of God like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and other men of God. Today america motto is God bless america.
Even the greatest scientists the world ever had, many of them are from Christian backgrounds. Michael Faraday was a church organist, Isaac newton was a church chaplain, Robert Hook was a pastor, he helped built the Westminster abbey. Most of world inventions today are from Christian adherents. So be guided op. Religion has helped to bring morals,and discipline and not otherwise.
Fight for good leadership and governance and leave religion out of your misery.

I left religion in 2018. I don't believe in all these religious dogmas and beliefs anymore.

But I know there is a supernatural being behind this world and I believe in him.

ContractKiller:
Your love of the Father is expressed by accepting the Son.

Righteousness89:


You need JESUS for Everything here on Earth and on the other side in Eternity!

When you refuse HIM now, when you Cross over, you will beg for HIM but it will be Late.

Of course I understand the sense in which you said whites are living their heaven on earth. Heaven means a place of perfection, beauty, peace, everything good etc. The instances I gave you only showed that life is not perfect for majority of people in the western world. An average Brit or American will never agree that they are experiencing heaven on earth.

BlackManta:


Qatar and United Arab Emirates are one of the most developed and richest countries in the world.

They practice Islam not Christianity.

How did their country get so rich and developed without your favourite religion Christianity

Religious war is responsible for the loss of millions of lives in history.

The Christian crusaders slaughtered millions of people to spread Christianity.
The Muslim jihadist killed millions as well to spread Islam.

Go and read your history books.

The damage religion caused mankind far outweighs whatever good you think it did mankind.

In the dark ages religion tried to block the progress of science and technology.

The Catholic Church in the the time of Spanish inquisition executed people who tried to develop the knowledge of science.

Go and study the stories of martyrs of science and you will see dozens of scientists who were killed for practicing science which was considered to be from the devil by the Catholic, Roman and Spanish inquisitions.

List the good things religion brought to mankind and I will list a hundred bad things it did.

Christianity didn't stop Americans from doing doing slave trade.
Even the Bible justifies slavery.

The Americans that made laws to segregate black people are Christians.

The Nazi that killed 3 million Jews are Christians too.

If christianity in Germany couldn't stop them from killing 3 million jews, how will the same Christianity make Africa great

YorubaKinging:
Please sir , I would like If you stop repeating same words,
And start explaining what it means


How do you accept Jesus ?

Is it by mouth and confession?

Did Jesus not come to preach about loving the Father who sent him?

And doing his commandments?

mmsen:


Which white man has told you thus?

Was it not your own parents and other useless elders in your vicinity who pushed superstitious nonsense onto you?
