These are basic questions.
And by the way, a Sango worshipper or a ogun worshipper are theist. Hitler was a theist.
And god is a title not a person, let your grandma understand that.
Do you know where “theist” comes from? Heard of theos and Olympian theos?

i've never heard of those names,but u can put me through.I'm here to learn.

Where did you learn “theist” “atheist” and “god” from?

Wilgrea7:

Miserable attempt at defending your insults. I could insult you as well for the same reasons you insult . I choose to keep things civil because that's how fruitful discussions work

There is nothing to defend especially when it Is so apparent. I tell as it is. Secondly, i know you evils are the rulers in insults so of course you will be very successful at it.

Wilgrea7:

Look before you leap

Considering the fact that belief in a supreme being hasn't made humans coexist with each other peacefully, I don't think taking a supreme being out of the equation can do any more damage.. If anything, it'll reduce it

Did I not say your post calls you are liar? See how it shows that, that post does not concern me at all

Of course it will be really difficult for anyone who wants to deny the importance of a SUPREME BEING but for people who knows the truth there's no reason why any right thinking person should doubt the logical reason behind the significance of the supreme being GOD!

Okay. My take though on your question asking a reason why humans should cohabit without recourse to a creator is that the human is inherently capable of love. They do not even need to be aware of a creator.

So the answer is simple. They even may leave more peacefully than not because the major dividing factor and cause of war today has to do with acknowledgement of the creator.

Doesn’t seeing a Peacock make you sick??

Kobojunkie:
Prove the existence of God outside religion? What do you mean by that? What has existence or nonexistence to do with any of this?

It seems so many of you are simply just stuck on this God-exists-or-God-does-not-exist loop that the bullsheet has you mentally locked.

What rule mandates that the worship of a deity,any deity, should only be considered within the confines of what is religion?

You make alot of comments here arguing religion using scripture of religion and nothing ever outside of it. You use your own understanding of the Bible to argue with people who read the same book. Even though your opinions differ, the source of you stream of comments stills comes from one source.

why isn't this God you argue for found in other religions far towards the east? Why must he be found only when i read the Bible or believe in Jesus. Belief, after all, is the root of all religion. If i disbelief in prophets before me, why can't I know God outside of already established religion? isn't God everywhere? Why must I meditate on words written by Isrealites to understand God?

NO! you misconstrued everything.

First of all it's lack of acknowledgement of the supreme being that's causing wars today not the other way around. And for sure if we agree on the issue of a SUPREME BEING the world will be a Paradise.

What most of you failed to realize is that politics is the major problem of mankind not the acknowledgement of a Creator.

You are mistaking information (which religions have) about God with Knowledge. As far as you read about the Supreme Deity from a book, what you have is information not knowledge.

The only way to know the truth about God is through INFORMATION otherwise you won't be here trying to pass information rather you supposed to let God do it all by Himself!

As for the truth about peace the first thing you need to know about God is that anything having to do with politics works against the peace of mankind. Only acknowledgement of the supreme being can bring lasting peace!

trying to reason with a Jehovah's witness is like trying to fill water in a basket! Their brains are like a basket. Not an insult to the JW pls,just stating a fact.

Recall the question that prompted your retort...

Kobojunkie:
Why bind the existence of a deity to religion?

I guess I shouldn't have used the word "existence" as that seems to confuse you a lot. Maybe I should have instead said something like "Why limit the having of a deity to the confines of what is religion, a system of faith and worship?

* A woman who worships her husband does not need to look in a bible for validation of his existence, nor does the question of whether her husband exists or not ever come up for her. So, would you religate her adoration and life to religion as well?

* A man who worships money does not need to consult a bible or anyone for validation or the existence of his god. He goes after his god with as much fervor as many "religious" folks do yet there is no set system of religion that he has to claim he belongs to in order to worship his god.

* The narcissist who worships himself does not need to consult anything outside of himself for validation or proof of his existence. He is his own god and so worships himself religiously without concern about whether he first expresses himself in a religious context before all of that.

I mentioned Abraham, Adam, and Noah, because according to the story today of them, there was no system of faith in place before their encounter with this God. They believed in Him and so worshipped Him, much like the man who worships money and the woman who worships her husband. To answer your question, these men did not need to "meditate" on anything in order to understand their God.

People worship daily all kinds of gods out there, yet discussions of most are not done without the confines of that which is considered religion why? It all has to do with the mindset of those engaged.

That's true but only if when operating from JW consciousness.

Good. Now you simply need toook around you and see the group who "acknowledge" whomever, is this working for them?

I think you will say this is postponed till you have only the people who "acknowledge" Deity X before Peace will start working. Right?

Just present a better performing group than Jehovah's Witnesses if you want to prove you know any God better than what JWs know and worship as an organization!

Islam is a one good "performing" group give or take.

"Performance" however is rather vague, not even the 'juice and source'. People held with a gun to their heads would give you a "performance".

We will take more seriously a people who do it for the love. No rewards dangled before them, no threats of eternal obliteration or damnation. Just love.

I am concerned about your assimilation...

I just let you know that "performance" is not necessarily the main thing, that people could perform out of fear and you didn't seem to get it

I told you I/we would prefer to filter this performing groups to get the one that performs out of love, without duress, threat of damnation or promise of a better future.

In some words: I am looking for quality not quantity.

is the statistic reliable? That's not a problem anyway. Being religious or non-religious doesn't make a person peaceful or violent. It all has to do with one's natural disposition. As for linking religious beliefs with formal education,I'll like to ask u, are David Oyedepo & F.W. Kumuiyi and their likes not educated? What about Reinhard Bonke? Then as concerning poverty, i hope u understand that the pope and arcBishop of Roman Catholic & Methodist aren't poor. There are rich people who are religious & poor people who aren't religious.

These people you mentioned how did they amass their wealth? Hope it’s not from the same poor people?
Which company did they start or which patent did they create?
What’s their success story apart from collecting tithes?

Come on, there are billions of people on planet earth and each has his or her personal opinion regarding life so there's nothing to assimilate when you can't point to a concert yielding positive result in any gathering.
Even ants as tiny as they're each has a purpose for moving from one place to another but not until you study them as a group that you can grasp what they're working for, if you're to watch just each of them you can never know there mission.
That's why it's important to talk about what intelligent beings come together to produce as a group! Matthew 7:16-18

In simple words: Now is actually the future, meaning if you finally 'go' to that future you anticipate, all you will find is 'now'

In another simple term: The future is made up of Now .

Lesson: Live in the present. Cheers!

Are nigerians really that dull that they can't reason beyond religion?
