You think you are talking to your fellow sheeps?

Post the links to all your false claim Chrestian.

Where does the origin of the word “atheism” and “theism” comes from?

English and comprehension is your problem. Did you comprehend what you read?

Asking endless questions tends to that most especially in your quest at endless questions, you fall into the depths of stupidity where none can pull you out from.

And then it is from that place of stupidity that you people speak from.

If a person creates a thing that kills people, we condemn that person.

Rubbish! Even you have not condemned Mikhail Kalashnikov, for making the deadly Ak-47.

Why?

Because you know that it is one thing to create a deadly thing, it is another thing to deploy it.

And this is where you people are funny. You know that rationality rules but when it is against you, you immediately abandon it and change posts to any other ground that you can run to.

By every reasonable ground, no person would ever be an "I hate God"followers. It takes unreasonability, bias and despair to be so.

Only a fool says, there is no God

God can never appear to any man if that's what you expect.

He wants to know people who genuinely love and fear Him without seeing Him.


It's better to believe that heaven exists, prepare for it and later find out that it doesn't exist than not believe that heaven exists, live a reckless lifestyle and find out that heaven is real.

Paschal's Wager!

Lmfao....so as a theist how do you determine the REAL god/religion? cox there are hundreds of gods & religions with their different teachings.

GeneralShepherd:
A more interesting and pertinent question we need in Nigeria, is why did you become an adherent of <insert your religion>?

Most of us never had a choice...you're initiated into the religion from infancy, when your brain/mind is empty and accepts anything you're exposed to without question.

Karnice600:


You're getting me wrong. Before most atheists became what they are, they would ve probably searched and tried different medium , researched on various ideologies to arrive at a conclusion, logical to them, that there isn't or aren't superior beings as origins or influencers of life.
I am a theist. An arrogant one, not an agnostic ( what I used to be as a Church goer before I did my researches to arrive at what I am and have right now) .
And why I chose Yahweh?
That's because HE'S like the Sun that's a pivotal Truth. Irrespective of your location or what you believe, you can see it reflect in your sky, whether obscured or vivid.
I researched on different religious scripts, on Bhuddism, Taoism and the Religions tied to Abrahamic beliefs. Only three of these all turned out to be most dominating in the world's history. Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Only these three have compatibility with science discoveries and are quite ahead of it.
Don't ask me how I narrowed it down to one.
Religious space is the last place I'll wanna pick an argument.

Judaism isn't even close to being as popular as Buddhism. Buddhism has more than ten times the followers of Judaism. By the way, Islam and Christianity spread mostly through warfare and colonialism. Do some research if you doubt me. I don't want seun's antispam bots to come after me.

You are ignorant of what “theism” and “atheism” is.

It seems one has to be intentionally dumb to be a Chrestian.

Why don’t you kindly check the meaning of both and come back?

Sheep talking about “United nations” wtf is that?
Post the link to your “citations”.

aribisala0:
You are the lazy person refusing to use your brain.
What evidence do you have that
1. Atheists live an immoral lifestyle
2. That People with religion live a moral lifestyle

I think the opposite of what you said is true religion is a lazy man's excuse for so many terrible things e.g

The recent lynching of Deborah Yakubu was not done by atheists . It was JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF RELIGION
Religion is the one thing that requires people to suspend their brains

Blah blah blah.
I hate it when illiterates try to flex their mediocre views on my lines.

I'm a believer and I live an immoral life. But are we talking about believers here?

When a believer does things that contradict common sense or his religion, he/she can be accused of ignorance or hypocrisy.

There's no true Atheist that doesn't make use of his brain. So you can't actually accuse a true atheist of ignorance (I know why I said True Atheist... I used that expression so that empty-brained wannabe atheists [like you] don't mistake yourself for an authentic breed). And you can't also accuse a true atheist of hypocrisy because he doesn't adhere to any metaphysical principle. (Hypocrisy is when you accept a principle and still act against the principle..

You can only accuse an atheist of intellectual laziness because atheism is fundamentally borne out of man's intellectual limit. That person knows something. But not all he's supposed to know before making a conclusion.
You don't believe in God, not because you have a proof that he doesn't exist, but because you were able to prove someone's else's argument of God's existence to be wrong.

I said 3 + 3 = 12. You say I'm wrong.
Yet you're incapable of telling me the correct answer. That's what happens in atheism.
I said God exists and I give my arguments. You proved my argument to be wrong but you're incapable of proving that God doesn't exist.

The existence of things is not conditioned by our arguments or opinions of the things. Things exists/or do not exist and remain what they are independently of our opinion.

So I repeat. Atheism is a lazy man's excuse for not wanting to be morally responsible.
Now get lost.

Theist means you BELIEVE in god/gods, when you go further to WORSHIP a belief you fall in these categories.
Im afraid you are a proud monolatrist.

I believe this conversation was for information exchange which should reflect simplicity and clarity in every sense. There are lots of people reading this post who would appreciate simplified terms than some historical "jargons".
You just stated what I stated. The last line, I don't think it's necessary. Keep It Short & Simple (K.I.S.S)

Mr man nothing like atheist exist anywhere you better stop living a delusional life.

Not only atheist na athairu.

Omo i observed the life, learned different religions sat down and thought about life in general and also, never had a spiritual encounter i have spent money, a lot of money for a spiritual encounter but no level baba.The lack of evidence just make me chill. Unless God appears and shows himself to me, no level

Attention seeker!

The lack of evidence is proof of the fact that you are extremely dull..

If you even observed tge way your body works there us no way that it would be evolution.

Even scientist acknowledged the fact that this world is too complex for it to be as a result of random-self assembly-big bang theory.

Just observe you'll see the markings, signs and wonderment of our Creator.

It will take a while for the world to put religion in its place and that place is in the history books.

Nodody cares what u believed in, just show love to one another. U cannot be the first to become or leave Christianity or Islam or any other religion. If are an adult, chose wat u want, but if I are not yet an adult then follow your parents .
We have our descions to make in life and we did not consult you to make them.

peggywebbs:
One thing I've learnt about atheists is that they have herd mentality. There are only very few atheists but you see the rest are either followers, angry people, and those who don't like extra activities.

However, the majority even from the comments are ex-christians. The common excuse is they are not convinced about the existence of God. So, many of them will simply tell you that's why they became atheist. What they won't tell you is the disappointment they have felt.

Many have had experiences where they thought or expected God to do something but they got nothing. In anger, they left the religion because they saw no point to it. While another group fall in the category of those forced to go to church as kids on Sunday. They'd rather be at home watching a movie or with their PS4. Growing up gave them the opportunity to stay back at home.

They got used to it and so Sundays became like every other day and they forgot about church. Since they don't bother well it's as good as there's no point of religion. Then the last group which constitute the majority is school. Well that's where most people don't go to church, I never did in school. But you see when someone says there's no God, the other person well thinks it's cool and they sort of become atheists by association. So they hang around and argue the whole idea why Christians are nuts. It's a fun conversation, they flow with it and then bam, they are now confirmed atheists.

So that's about it.

I believe religion is for those who are emotionally attached to things, they want to believe there's more to life, even after death. This explains why you'll find more religious people in Africa/Asia than anywhere else in the world, most industrial and Liberal countries hardly have overzealous religious people who think killing others because of their religious differences is cool.
Sadly once you die that's the end of life, no afterlife or anything after death.

Gay used to mean happy now it means Homosexual
Atheist is A SYNONYM of agnostic
My point is that there is more than one dictionary and more than one meaning in the many dictionaries I know. If that is not you view fine but it is mine. You cannot force me to accept yours because I won't .I heard you why the quarrel?
Must we converse. It is clear I won't persuade you and you won't persuade me so why not just accept that this is pointless and leave me alone please?

Wilgrea7:
While I won't exactly consider myself an atheist, I'm the farthest thing from religious, so I guess that counts.

My de-conversion story is a pretty long one. But to sum it all up, I became very inquisitive, and started to ask a lot of questions.

Those questions led to more questions, and eventually, after taking my time to learn more about religion, and about the universe, and actually taking an objective look at things, I realized there was not a lot of credible evidence for the beliefs which I previously held.

If you were Christian ,it would be pretty obvious.
But in Islaam,your confusion will be destroyed.
The verses alone are so profound that you will see it with sureness of reality.

I am not boasting oo.

Ask and inshaa'a Allaah you will be answered

ajekpaks:



It's mostly made up...

In the beginning Man created God...



Clear me How? Your ever loving God that created me will now throw me into the lake of fire that he created in case I don't love him back? so that I will burn for eternity?

Ha... ha... ha...

Na the chain wey them use hold Youna be that... So I understand



Exactly, Religion is man's attempt at explaining his existence, therefore they invent stories according to the history of their origins...
World powers after conquering colonies impose their system of worship on them and just as in our case in Nigeria, the Christian and Islamic missionaries imposing their diverging ways on us but because it was gift wrapped with education and so called civilization we became trapped...

Reasonable
