Who says there are no proofs of God's existence. Then consider these: # man -made things support the undisputable fact that man is endowed with creative nature and abilities. This means all creatures must have a Creator or an inventor. And since man cannot create mankind it therefore means man was created by a Creator. # Both the atheist and the theist all believe in something higher than the common. The atheist , though, does not believe in the existence of God,yet believes in something higher----no God--- and it keeps them going just like the theist's belief keeps them going. This supports the age-long assertion that man had always craved to believe in something higher than the common . This in turn is a pointer to the existence of a higher realm . So everybody believes in something higher than the common. |

Karnice600: From the view of our universe, life has no purpose... It is a continues cycle of creation and destruction.. The death of a start is the beginning of another star, the death of one tree is the beginning of another.. It is an endless transmutation of energy from one form to another.. If God exist then creation is just an amusement, like men creating toys for play.. |

Gosunndi: I believe in questioning, and like the quote in my profile says "By Doubting, we are led to Questioning. By Questioning, we arrive at The Truth" Truth is what we live on and endless enquiry means one will never live. |

tiger28:Get some basic education about the big bang theory and evidence for its postulation. Says you that was first deceived by slave masters - European or Arab, and then scammed in the guise of Men of God. If so then how do you explain Nigeria with over 99.9% theists and less than 0.1% atheist being the most unrestrained country in the world, where terrorism, corruption, yahoo yahoo and ritual murders are rife? But all of the murders, kidnappings, ritual murders and organ harvesters are theists 2 Likes |

Sir, you're an agnostic not an atheist. An agnostic is someone who doesn't believe in God, but is open to the idea of God if he receives material proof/evidence for God's existence. An atheist on the other hand is someone who is 100% convinced that God has never existed and will never exist. sundaygray: |

LienwaltAbel: Christianity didn't spread by violence bro. At least Jesus didn't spread it with the Sword unlike Muhammed did for Islam. I know you're talking about the Crusaders. That was a political move by Rome to spread the occult Catholic influence. Same Rome that persecuted the disciples of Jesus Christ. The Colonial Masters came with religion and technology intertwined and they were willfully accepted by the Africans as superior to what they had already, in so much that the influence still lingers after the Colonizers had left. Christianity was spread with civilization through education by the early missionaries. Its a different ball game from Islam that has jihad enshrined in the Quran. E no relate at all. Buddhist are more in numbers compared to the Jews, yes they are. But so long as Christianity or Islam thrives, Jerusalem would ever be significant to both. That's why the Jews will always be relevant irrespective of their numbers. |

Some people seem to be confused about atheism and agnosticism, both are not mutually exclusive. Atheism: I don't believe in a god(s). Theism: I believe in a god(s). Agnosticism: I don't know whether or not a god(s) exists. Gnosticism: I know for a fact that god(s) exists or I know for a fact they do not exist. Most people who identify as Atheists are actually Agnostic Atheists. |

GreatAxeMan: The problem with your distinction is your definition of God. The agnostic just like the atheist does not believe God is a Jewish man (or an arab man), with all human attributes dispensing justice using Jewish laws and customs on all. The agnostic just like the atheist is open to the idea that a certain force might be responsible for the creation or start of the universe. 1 Like |

naija4life247: You think we're stupid? Their wives don't need to convert. Once a Muslim marries a non-muslim, the household automatically becomes a Muslim one. Isn't that why Muslims forbid their daughter from marrying non-muslims? Because they know the household automatically becomes the religion of the husband. Muslim men love to marry and sleep with non-muslims but will jealously guard their own daughters against non-muslims. You're stating you "allowed" your wife to remain a Christian but if you were to emigrate to Qatar, a sharia state, your wife and even children will automatically be seen as muslims. Their Christian faith will become irrelevant. 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker: My brother, it’s not about insults. There is something fundamentally wrong with the book especially the Old Testament. Example: The escapades of Moses and Caleb, Joshua etc is exactly as Bokoharam is to Nigeria. 'God said we should kill all of you and take over your land.' When you read those things ever wondered that those massacres include kids, babies, pregnant woman and the elderly! Ever wondered? 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Karnice600:And the natives of places where the peaceful Christian colonisers arrived that didn't accept religion, what do you think happened to them? Besides old Christian sects like the coptics in Africa, and the Church of Antioch, the foremost Christian sect was the one established after Constantine converted. Do note that: The Roman empire at the time was a large empire that occupied much of Europe and north africa, so when Constantine converted, it allowed for easy spread of Christianity; Roman empire at the time was frail and was about to fall apart so Constantine needed Christianity for a sort of unification amongst it's subjects. İf this isn't colonialism's hardwork, i don't know what it is. Islam didn't convert everyone they conquered. Andalusia ie modern Spain and Portugal can attest to that.

wirinet: Sure, by the Roman Catholic political/military influence. The same Crusaders I talked about. If you read deep about the RC you'll know why they're sometimes referred to as an occult group. They feign Christianity, but are into pagan worship, but that's another story for another day. When I say Christianity wasn't spread by the sword I'm simply talking about her ingrained doctrine of gaining followers and how it started. Don't let it mix with the idea of how Islam spread. Don't put them in a sentence. |

peggywebbs:Nigeria is one of the most religious countries in the world due to the size of our population, we should be number 7 or 8 i think. I'm not generalising it, you can't compare how a religious person in an industrial country like the UK or US thinks compared to a third world country like Nigeria. Young people are introduced to science at an early age over there compared to here in Nigeria, there's stable light, security and working infrastructure. They are taught that there's always a reasonable scientific explanation for everything in life, where by in Nigeria people always make up religious and traditional stories for every damn thing, even if it is something that you just need to use your common sense to evaluate. I'm not against religion, everyone is entitled to their beliefs. |

Non Muslims had to pay a form of tax or convert to avoid taxes. Guess what, when the Moors finally left Andalusia, Muslims and Jews were forced to convert or we're even killed in worst case scenarios. This same pattern repeated itself throughout places taken by Christians during the crusades. The same happened in Jerusalem when the crusaders took it. Anyone who's coming to argue about the crusades should ask why a pope had to ask for forgiveness because of the horrible crimes committed during those conquests. |
