Pr0ton:So you rather put you faith in evolution. If you must know evolution is a process that cannot kick-start itself. What set that ball of evolution rolling in the first place. |

freeradical: Didn't your bible claim Jesus said take the log out of your eyes before helping another. Why must you love a "supposedly" loving being? That is a selfish commandment. Talk about loving your neighbor, isn't that what a normal person should do? Did the Bible god justify that commandment by asking the Jews to annihilate their neighbors? |

ifeness: That is history. Religion has taken a dimention that is more worrisome these days, it is now an avenue for committing crimes such as fraud, stealing, cheating, rituals, murder etc The christian religion have placed followers in state of untold hardship and their counterpart religion in nigeria is a tales of woes, yet it does not displace the existence of a loving God. This is my view. |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by freeradical(m): 10:44pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
ifeness: Yes God is loving and he extends that love to every of his creatures but he also expects you to reciprocate that love. When you give love of course it makes sense to expect love in return. Out of love he created man specially to have a higher reasoning power(not like the primitive life-forms that predate him) in his own image and likeness. There is nothing normal about loving your neighbour because if it's as simple as you say a lot of the evil in the world today will not exist. Even many xtians find it difficult to truly love God and their neighbour...what most people do is lip service! |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by Nobody: 10:52pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
freeradical: Please use the word "Bible God" because there is no God. There is no evidence,there can't be one. I am absolutely sure such an evil monster does not exist in our reality. Creation can never be attributed to the Bible God. I am not convinced that character described by the bible is intelligent enough to create our beautiful and mysterious planet. Lets leave creation and evolution to the experts. I'm very sure you visit the doctor when you fall ill and not a pastor. I do not have to love my neighbor,it only makes sense to be in harmony with people around us. I need to love myself first before loving someone else. 4 Likes |

urheme: What is the use of a loving Bible God when their is suffering all over the planet. I make sure my car and apartment are tidy and neat all the time.If there were a "God" such a being would keep the planet tidy without asking for worship. Is that too difficult for your god to do? well unless its got emotional issues. 1 Like |

ifeness:There is also no evidence to back HIS non-existence my brother so we are tied in between . I and many others like me choose to attribute creation to him....you just have to stomach that. Of course I do visit the doc when i fell under the weather....its the most reasonable thing to do. God made us in his image so we can advance in science and medicine for our own good . So you do not love yourself? |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by Nobody: 11:05pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
freeradical: We are not tied because there is no evidence Santa-clause doesn't exist. There is no evidence you do not have a billion pounds in your bank account.But your lifestyle will show if you are a billionaire or not. Therefore we need to see the evidence of the Christian's sky sugar daddy in his followers lives. Most of them are obviously under-achievers,living from hand to mouth with their pastors massively wealthy,moving about in spacecrafts. I love myself of course,if I don't i cannot love another. 1 Like |

ifeness: If you need an answer to that then, I will say it is not God's duty to look after you, His job stopped after creating you. The holy books told you to worship, God does not need you to worship Him, the stones does that. |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by Nobody: 11:09pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
urheme: I do not worship BMW because they manufactured my car. In fact they service the car for free for me for a couple of years. It is barbaric to worship anyone,especially worshiping something without evidence. |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by freeradical(m): 11:13pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
ifeness: @ bolded:That is so untrue....there are many Children of God who are well to do finiacially. As for the pastors ripping of the people and moving about in spaceships my advice to you is Let not another's lifestyle be the reason for your unbelief. Personally I see every evidence in God's existence. Even my journey into science helped to affirm my belief in God. As a biochemist I have come to learn about organisation of life from the interaction and organisation of simple macromolecules. There is no way all of what we know about life can make sense to me if there is not a God-that I refuse to accept! |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by Nobody: 11:21pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
freeradical: 90% of Christians are financially poor. The pastors are the Gods and the Bible is a tool they use to protect themselves " Touch not my anointing" But we do know no one anointed them. You see evidence in the Bible god's existence? Can you elaborate please? |

@op, I can see you are an amateur atheist. your questions are so dumb. if you are an intelligent thinker as you claim, you will find the explanations around you. I wish you luck in your quest, shalom. |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by urheme: 11:22pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
You can be good without religion, worshiping something does not make you a good person either. I acknoweledge God in my life because he works within me, i don't look for God any where other than within my self. You want proof of evidence for God, i advise you to look within your self, check your conscience you may find the answers you want. ifeness: |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by freeradical(m): 11:33pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
ifeness:You keep jumping between God and bible God. We are talking about the existence of God or not(theism or atheism). Or do you believe there is a God even though it is most def not the Bible description of him? |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by macof(m): 11:41pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
freeradical: You jst proved my point. Christians like u are morons If you were intelligent u would realize that I never said atheism makes anybody intelligent |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by macof(m): 11:57pm On Nov 01, 2014 |
plaetton:Plaetton this is epic We however know that the religious mind would refuse to call his God energy because a religious mind only sees myths as reality. So to him God acts like a humanoid Like joshthefirst, a religious person would rather make a fool of himself by saying Energy has a creator which is God, who lives in heaven watching our every move as he prepares hell for those who refuse to worship his son who was actually a Jewish man 3 Likes |

freeradical: God is everything i can see around me. I do not need to worship them,but respect them. I dislike the word "God" because its been hijacked by religion. |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by macof(m): 12:01am On Nov 02, 2014 |
urheme: very funny. If at all you a Christian wants to speak against religion you should take note that God(which ever one u prefer) is the integral element of that religion So u can't take a God out of the religion that worships it |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by Nobody: 12:02am On Nov 02, 2014 |
urheme: Does the God within you require tithe and offering,worship or a religious book? |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by macof(m): 12:06am On Nov 02, 2014 |
urheme: If u only behave well because of fear in a God then you are a natural psychopath then we can say religion should be used strictly as a rehab measure for criminals not for the general public 1 Like 1 Share |

freeradical: And because there is an interaction and organisation of simple macromolecules, you then made an assumption that all biological life necessarily have a Creator, right? How intelligent! |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by freeradical(m): 1:51am On Nov 02, 2014 |
macof: U are just one confused fellow. A theist that cannot hold his ground in the face of an atheist because of his hate for a fellow theist. I never said I was intelligent did I.....why will a genius like yourself make that inference? Maybe you are not as intelligent as you think |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by freeradical(m): 1:54am On Nov 02, 2014 |
ifeness: That settles it then.....you agree there is God just that but not like various religions describe HIM/IT. |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by freeradical(m): 1:56am On Nov 02, 2014 |
Kay17: Are you a biochemist? Do you understand much about the concept of life? I will like to know your field before i engage you in this section of discourse. So as not to bore you with scientific jargon. What I am trying to say is that these macromolecules arent that simple when it comes to how they interact to make life as we know it even possible. The complexity of the whole thing makes it impossible for the whole process to have occured in that fashion merely by chance. There is so much order in the way life processes are carried out. Glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are 2 opposite pathways of glucose metabolism but they can never occur simultaneously in the same cell else the cell will encounter what we biochemist call a 'metabolic disaster'. Hence when one is running the other is tightly regulated. Even the gene structure is so mysterious. Do you know that a large fraction of the human genome codes for no known protein but if u splice it off the organism cannot exist. And please you guys(atheists) should stop shouting intelligence each tym you argue with theist. Make you point and move on. I bet none of you can beat the average xtian in an IQ test yet you somehow like to stroke your ego with the fact that you are sounding smarter. Jeez you guys should outgrow that fallacy please |

freeradical:Okay. You think you are cool now abi? Okay what purpose did Yahweh have in mind when 25% of Africans started having the horrific sickle cell gene? what purpose did god have in mind when he created the genes/chromosomes for functional&congenital disordes such as G-6-PD deficiency or Huntingtons chorea? what purpose does the it serve serve for some humans to be born without their reproductive organs e.g Mayer-Rokitansky-Kauster-Hauser syndrome? Are these the handiwork of a perfect, omnipotent ,omniscient,loving& merciful god? I have also noted that religion actually becomes more dangerous in the hands of the compliant educated mind; all the bombers of 9/11 were graduates from schools in USA! Dear biochemist , your advanced knowledge in your field does not preclude your ability to manifest an astounding level of cognitive dissonance. I know that 3.5billion years of evolutionary trial and error can fine-tune the evolutionary biochemical processes in the most complex of biological organisms and also that abnormalities we still get to see are testimonials of the evolutionary process...things can still go wrong despite the billions of years! |

Re: Ten Questions To Theists by urheme: 7:26am On Nov 02, 2014 |
ifeness: No |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by urheme: 7:30am On Nov 02, 2014 |
ifeness: No. Those things you just mentioned are the real instrulments of church fraud, these aclaimed men of gods use it to box their deluded followers, not all though. Some people go to church to get business or to steal the offerings. |
Re: Ten Questions To Theists by urheme: 7:51am On Nov 02, 2014 |
macof: Thank you for laying ambush. I know where you are going, pls just come back. I don't believe in religion, i believe in God and ii don't see all the religions put together as a way to God, Religion was once a leadership theory, then an instrulment of domination by the rulers, now it is in the hands of private business men. |
