qstar:I don't believe that God is fighting for bokoharam. God in the past fought for the people of Israel because every other nation then were his enemy. So he fought for the people Israel but now through Christ God has made peace and reconciled the whole to himself. He is no longer fighting against people rather he is going out to save people. |

It is understandable if thiest find it difficult to fathom the position of an agnostic/athiest. Athiesm is a state of mind, it is a self discovery. It doesn't encourage close-mindness, i'm a free-thinker and opened to corrections when facts are presented. Man dön't have sufficient answers for now about the supernatural 2 Likes |

Beretta92:Yes we know that God is the creator of the world but how God came to be is the knowledge that is beyond human understanding. Humans asking how God came to be is just like my pet dog asking how I came into the world.No matter how the Dog tries to find out that knowledge will remain illusive to the dog because dogs and human do not relate at the same level. 2 Likes |

lastmessenger: We don't understand a lot of things about religion, not just that. Why does this God choose to remain invisible and inaudible? Why dictate a book to a handful of bronze age men, when he could just as easily speak to everyone, even today? Why is the book full of lies, about everything? 1 Like |

Weah96:God is a spirit. (John 4:24). And so are you. God hasnt chosen to remain invisible. His spiritual properties make him invisble (to d human eye). If you could see into d spirit realm, you may not want to live anymore. You can actually operate in d spirit world-illegally. What is required is your soul and spirit to be joined together. Thruogh satan's help ofcourse. Then you probably wont b an atheist anymore. Som mystic groups and societies could show you how. For the rest of us- we gat the word of God. We gat the mandate to believe without seeing(physcally) , we got d empowerment to do so ,faith. Why doesnt God deal with us physcally? I'll admit that physcal senses are very convincg, so convcg its hard to try to operate without their feedback, but the christian life is a re orientation to operate as the REAL you. As a spirit, using spiritual weapons and tools. Since d real you is a spirit, God refuses to deal with man on an inferior level-flesh level. You cant discern d spiritual with ur five senses. But a spirit can affect d five senses. |

Misogynist2014: But you were not a witness therefore you have no direct evidence that God created the Universe. 1 Like |
Re: Why Did You Choose To Be An Athiest? by Kay17: 8:52pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
lastmessenger: There is no common agreement between us that God created the Universe, that's why we are arguing here; so we don't know God is the creator. My view, is you have a primitive mind which is unable to imagine a naturalistic universe. You are like our ancestors who couldn't shake off the conviction that everything was anthropomorphic 2 Likes |

Kay17:I think the person who is more primitive is that guy who believes he is smart but hold the belief that he just came to existence as a result of chance.You believe that nothing brought about something and that is how you came to exist( what a silly thought) |

lastmessenger: Don't be ignorant. The biggest and most fundamental question that bothers all humans, is "why Something exists rather than Nothing" and the question is not answered by saying God created the Universe. So you don't know how/why we are here, because it is the most enduring question. Most we freethinkers are not as shallow as you "people" and hesitate to make hasty conclusions. 1 Like |

Kay17:Free thinkers? We who have faith in God are deep and spiritual thinkers.the first law of motion states that a bony that is moving will continue to move unless an external force acts on it.My science background makes me think the Big Bang may be right but my faith tells me that the force of God is the driver of Big Bang. |

lastmessenger: Can you say with the same solid conviction that God is the immediate cause of the Universe, and what is the evidence thereof. Secondly, why is there existence at all, why not emptiness?! 1 Like |
Re: Why Did You Choose To Be An Athiest? by lastmessenger: 10:27am On Nov 02, 2014 |
Kay17:God is beyond science and therefore cannot subjected to scientific proof. The only evidence to show that God created us is his written word. Science only tries to show the mechanism if that creation. |
Re: Why Did You Choose To Be An Athiest? by Kay17: 10:49am On Nov 02, 2014 |
lastmessenger: But you tried to use a law of motion to prove God's existence earlier, now God is beyond science? Let me agree with you that we cannot prove God's existence through the Universe and that the Bible is the sole proof of God's existence, right? And what about the second issue: why is there existence at all? I was encouraged when you said spiritual thinkers are profound and deep. So let's discuss. 1 Like |
Re: Why Did You Choose To Be An Athiest? by lastmessenger: 11:41am On Nov 02, 2014 |
Kay17:The only answer I can give you is the last verse of the chapter 4 of Revelation. 9The four living creatures sing songs of glory and honour and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives for ever and ever. When they do so, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They throw their crowns down in front of the throne and say: 11“Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory, honour, and power. For you created all things, and by your will they were given existence and life.” |
