Religion / Re: Is It Rational To Believe In Afterlife [A Discussion] by hopefuLandlord: 9:16pm On Aug 11, 2016
KingEbukasBlog:


I saw your discussions today and I doubt you'd understand me but I'll go ahead anyway

During church services , our messages are centered on good morals and the church exhorts its members to give their lives to Christ and live a good Christian life , a life of rectitude - these are the prerequisites of making Heaven . We don't sit down and worry about the afterlife like Seun portrayed it to be .

Comprende ?

I comprehend but I would only know that if I attend your church

Since I haven't, what I see is HEAVEN AT LAST! which gives an impression of a church more focused on afterlife, your reflective jackets, tracts and billboards also say the same

No one sits down and worries what happens after death . Honestly , its only on this site that I see the most ridiculous things about Christian beliefs . 4kings , amokeme can bear me witness that in Church services we are being taught to strive for greatness , be ambitious and excel beyond expectations . No wonder Christians are the wealthiest and most accomplished in the world , the disparity is there for all to see . cool


Your church's slogan is HEAVEN AT LAST! but I hear you bro

Also, look at every tract, every Christian movie, listen to preachers that disturb us early in the morning

Overwhelming percentage of them focus on it

I thought I was the only one that noticed grin .

You're the only one, I ignored his atheist vs freethinker because its a very dishonest question intended to derail

Here

[size=16pt]The German Freethinkers League aim was to provide a public meeting-ground and forum for materialist and atheist thinkers in Germany.[/size]

And

[size=16pt]The League was closed down in the spring of 1933, when Hitler outlawed all atheistic and freethinking groups in Germany.[/size]

He's now asking the difference between freethinkers and atheists?

Now, an intelligent person can see that his question has little to no bearing

Lol chai this guy is so far from comprehending anything. A freethinker is one who forms opinions (usually in the context of religion) on the basis of reason independent of authority. He/She is not necessarily an atheist, agnostic, or anti-religion.

Per your screengrab i think you need to find out for yourself what the german Bureau on church matters was all about before you exhibit your ignorance. My convo with you is done. I just gave you a few more posts for sake of courtesy as you cannot grasp or assimilate the simplest of discussions not even when you own the links and gave them to me.

This is hilarious grin

You were almost there and now you run away? Seems you have seen the trap from a mile off grin

Maybe you should find out what is about but not from Christian apologists websites

The screenshot; That's a newspaper bro

The ONLY book you took all your quotes from has been found to be not trustworthy by scholars, lots and lots of questions

The bolded was why i asked if you even know what the role of the German Bureau on Church matters represents. You think its a church or a church meeting place? OLODO

Its for the enforcement of Church taxes and levies and registration of defaulters and ensuring they do not partake in religious activities. If they are caught secretly carrying out religious activities without paying their levies or taxes then its off to Auschwitz concentration camp with you.

Maybe you should know what you're talking about before spewing things.

[size=15pt]The German Freethinkers League ('Deutscher Freidenkerbund') was an organisation founded in 1881 by the materialist philosopher and physician Ludwig Büchner[1] to oppose the power of the state churches in Germany.[2] Its aim was to provide a public meeting-ground and forum for materialist and atheist thinkers in Germany.

By 1885 the group had 5,000 members.[1] The first organization of its sort founded in Germany, by 1930 the German Freethinkers League had a membership numbering some 500,000.[citation needed] The League was closed down in the spring of 1933, when Hitler outlawed all atheistic and freethinking groups in Germany. Freethinkers Hall, the national headquarters of the League, was then converted to a bureau advising the public on church matters.[3][/size]

I think you need to go and evaluate yourself because you clearly without a shadow of doubt have assimilation problems and just might have a short attention span.

Your free thinkers League has already bee explained here earlier and i clearly highlighted it for you when i did.

[b]In a speech made later in 1933, Hitler claimed to have "stamped out" the Gottlosenbewegung atheistic movement.[15] The word Hitler used, "Gottlosenbewegung", means "Godless Movement" in German, and refers to the communist freethought movement, though might not refer to atheism in general. The historian Richard J. Evans wrote that, by 1939, 95% of Germans still called themselves Protestant or Catholic, while 3.5% were so called "gottgläubig" (lit. "believers in god", a non-denominational nazified outlook on god beliefs, often described as predominately based on creationist and deistic views[22]) and 1.5% atheist. According to Evans, those members of the affiliation gottgläubig "were convinced Nazis who had left their Church at the behest of the Party, which had been trying since the mid 1930s to reduce the influence of Christianity in society".[23] Heinrich Himmler, who was fascinated with Germanic paganism,[citation needed] was a strong promoter of the gottgläubig movement and didn't allow atheists into the SS, arguing that their "refusal to acknowledge higher powers" would be a "potential source of indiscipline".[24] The majority of the three million Nazi Party members continued to pay their church taxes and register as either Roman Catholic or Evangelical Protestant Christians.[25][/b]

You are a confirmed Olodo.. lmao

Your link is a repetition of the first one basically. Let me post it here for you so you can see how indeed you have assimilation issues.

[b]On October 13, 1933, Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess issued a decree stating: "No National Socialist may suffer any detriment on the ground that he does not profess any particular faith or confession or on the ground that he does not make any religious profession at all."[169] However, the regime strongly opposed "godless communism"[170][171] and all of Germany's freethinking (freigeist), atheist, and largely left-wing organizations were banned the same year.[172][173]

In a speech made during the negotiations for the Nazi-Vatican Concordant of 1933, Hitler argued against secular schools, stating: "Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith."[174] One of the groups closed down by the Nazi regime was the German Freethinkers leagueChristians appealed to Hitler to end anti-religious and anti-Church propaganda promulgated by Free Thinkers,[175] and within Hitler's Nazi Party some atheists were quite vocal in their anti-Christian views, especially Martin Bormann.[176][/color] Heinrich Himmler, who himself was fascinated with Germanic paganism,[177] was a strong promoter of the gottgläubig movement and didn't allow atheists into the SS, arguing that their "refusal to acknowledge higher powers" would be a "potential source of indiscipline".[21][/b]

You do not even wish to learn. You are keen on attack alone. smh . So you agree you are an Olodo cheesy cheesy
Learn what? I've dedicated part of the last few months digging up things about Hitler

Don't get it twisted, he was a Christian but the hypocrisy of guys like you is what I'm here to lay bare

If Hitler had done good, there would be no talks of him not being a Christian

Now that he's bad, he's not a "Christian" you'll now start defining a "Christian" as "Christlike"

If we accept that definition, then we can't "know" who a Christian is

But your brothers were quick to call bill gates a Christian, even saying the richest people in the world are "Christians"

I'm sure if somewhere down the line, Bill gates turns bad, guys like you would say he was never a Christian


Hitler's ideas of Christianity was it being under Nazi, He wanted a unified church and was against atheism

The thing about atheism is that barely anyone is ready to die for it, I am not ready to die for atheism since we don't have a mythical heaven that we'll go to so most atheists were already almost wiped out towards the end of Hitlers reign, those that were quick to identify as religionists, those that went to exile and those that hid

[b]In Germany during the Nazi era, a 1933 decree stated that "No National Socialist may suffer detriment... on the ground that he does not make any religious profession at all".[15] However, the regime strongly opposed "godless communism",[16][17] and all of Germany's atheist and largely left-wing freethought organizations were banned the same year; some right-wing groups were tolerated by the Nazis until the mid-1930s.[18][19] During negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordat of April 26, 1933 Hitler stated that "Secular schools can never be tolerated" because of their irreligious tendencies.[20] Hitler routinely disregarded this undertaking, and the Reich concordat as a whole and by 1939, all Catholic denominational schools had been disbanded or converted to public facilities.[21]

In a speech made later in 1933, Hitler claimed to have "stamped out" the Gottlosenbewegung atheistic movement.[15] The word Hitler used, "Gottlosenbewegung", means "Godless Movement" in German, and refers to the communist freethought movement, though might not refer to atheism in general.

Quotes are literal copies of words spoken by people in their exact context. What can be twisted is the interpretation but not the quote itself.

Google is your friend.

Oga, maybe you should do the Google search yourself, know how news operate and come back to swallow these words

Maybe you should Google the word "misquotes" and be enlightened

Sensationalism at its best is what Table Talk was about

Hitler was already being seen as "Atheist" by the west even while he was killing atheists, the church couldn't just class him as Christian so they spread propaganda and called him atheist
