sinequanon:I understand you, but you are making a mistake by substituting the effects of God with God himself. God is fear, its the only language sinful man understand. God is love, only the righteous can understand. We fear God because we fear good, we fear good because we are evil, our thoughts, way of life all follow the ways of evil. The solutions to the problems of mankind is simple, Love, Justice, Decency and Wisdom. Yet, we stubbornly go about selfishness and evil. It is our evil ways that block us from God and the unnecessary fear we habour is inbuilt, not from God. |

Why are u shooting urself in the leg? U must be really really terrified of hell...that's why u don't believe in it |
Re: A Summary Of God by Weah96: 7:05pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
sinequanon: So if hell is an arbitrary assumption, why are you claiming that others are afraid of it? I'm only interested in the truth, not saving people. The truth has no agenda. If there was any shred of evidence to back up the monumental claims made in the holy books, I would be the first in line. 4 Likes |

Misogynist2014: It is not clear to me where you stand. You say that ONLY the righteous can understand. But you say that you fear good, you are evil, your way of life follows the ways of evil, you stubbornly go about selfishness and evil etc. So you are NOT righteous, and therefore you admit that you cannot even understand what you wrote. This is a state of confusion. |

Weah96: Those who believe in hell are afraid of it. Are you disputing this? I don't know what the part in bold has to do with your question. To me it seems irrelevant, whatever it means. Weah96: Why is somebody else's belief in hell fire your business? Why can't you just remark on it and let them be? It is because you are afraid, despite all your pretence. 1 Like |

Re: A Summary Of God by sinequanon: 7:53pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
Weah96: You know exactly what I am saying. I am not afraid, because I don't believe in other people's creations, neither am I a materialist. You do believe and your materialist position is a fragile and vain attempt to protect yourself from the fear you have buried deep in your psyche for lack of any real alternative. Your pretence isn't working, so I am not going round in circles. Each to his own. Bye! |

Re: A Summary Of God by Nobody: 9:09pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
This Sinequanon guy is either a troll or a potential schizophrenic patient. How would someone agree that GOD is an illusion and still accuse some set of people to be in self denial for refusing to believe in the illusion, like he is immune to this himself. I wonder how he is So sure we don't have a strong reason NOT to believe in GOD,like his own reason for not believing in a personal GOD is stronger and more valid than our own reason,So he is right and we are simply burying our head in sand. What a funny thinking pattern. Sinequanon, tell us your own valid reason/s for not believing in GOD and hell fire. 3 Likes |

asalimpo: Wrong, it's not every civilization that is religious, like China,we have a very large population of irreligious people there, religion is a vicious circle,it's passed down the generation, So if we already have large amount of religious people in a place,it would be difficult to remove the religious tendency from them because of indoctrination. By the way religion provides Hope and wishful thoughts Which is what humans crave for naturally,that explains why people tend to be more religious than not. 1 Like |

Dapo777: still not addressg d point. 1 million different tribes with no contact with the outside world strtg up, from just a man and a woman, will still seek after a god. Mayb not all but an overwhelmng majority, over 90% , will seek to connect to a higher power. Would u say, all this distinct upstrt families all 'reasoned god' out? No. |
Re: A Summary Of God by Misogynist2014(m): 9:35pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
sinequanon:We as used in my write up, though generalised, but not all inclusive. We is just used in the explanation of how 'majority' of mankind thinks and behaves. It is no news that problems spring up on eatth faster than they are solved, we need someone to bring peace to the world, someone righteous and just, His name is Jesus (Son of God), he loves you, he wants you to partake in his glory when he returns to earth. |
Re: A Summary Of God by sinequanon: 9:38pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
Misogynist2014: Are you part of the "we" or not? If you are part of the "we" then you are not righteous, which means that you do not understand. Isn't that what you implied? |
Re: A Summary Of God by Misogynist2014(m): 9:42pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
sinequanon:I am not under law, therefore, I have no knowledge of sin, I am under the grace of Christ, which I hold on to in Faith in the only begotten of the Father. If you want to learn, ask and I will reply. |

asalimpo: The problem of death is universal, regardless of geographic location. Research shows that humans prefer an answer, even the wrong one, over no answer at all. God provides an answer to the problem of death. As for me, I prefer the truth, regardless of what it implies. 1 Like |
Re: A Summary Of God by Nobody: 10:06pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
Weah96: Asalimpo I Hope that has answered your question. It's because you seek answers,humans are prone to seek answers,whether wrong or right,they would prefer answers that are appealing Which religion provides,that's how religion springs up from no where because we seek answers and where none is found we provide ourselves answers that we like. That is appealing. 1 Like |

Misogynist2014: Misogynist2014: Like the atheists, you are in two minds. Same denial, different technique. Pretence never solves anything. To progress, you have to get past denial. |
Re: A Summary Of God by Misogynist2014(m): 10:50pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
sinequanon:Though, I would have loved you shifting to a better discussion but let me try to explain my candid points to show you it doesn't contradict: I was talking of man in his crude state, selfish, sinful and proud but once you come to God by believing and having faith Christ, old things are passed away and you saved. John 3:16. The works of your hands won't take you to hheaven cos Jesus took away our sins, all you need is faith. 1 Corinthians 15 vs 20-23. It is now left to us as Christians to show our faith through our works James 2:18 because faith without works is dead. James 2:17. Therefore, we are not under the law Galatians 3:25 |
Re: A Summary Of God by sinequanon: 11:08pm On Dec 09, 2014 |
Misogynist2014: So, you were "in a crude state, selfish, sinful and proud". Then you came to your god by believing in and having faith in Christ? You believe "old things are passed away and you are saved". Is this because your bible says so or because you actually no longer do all the nasty things that used to do -- "sin, fear good, are evil, have a way of life that follows the ways of evil, stubbornly go about selfishness and evil..."? |
Re: A Summary Of God by Longstride: 9:12am On Dec 10, 2014 |
sinequanon: some atheists choose to deny the existence of a personal god because they don't want to even start to imagine the implication for them, if there actually was a god. Denial is one of the adaptations of the human brain. An example is this soliloquy; Atheist John: If god actually exists, I'm going to hell ,..................... no, no, be rational John, think!.. there can't be a god ........right? ...to ameliorate this fear, he lives in denial, looking for every reason to back up his disbelief....trying not to think of the other side ....'"screaming" when his thin veneer of disbelief is questioned'.... Before I show why It's wrong, is this your point? |

Weah96: i dont see how death leads people of all types and status to perform a unanimous action even without external prompting or propaganda. |
Re: A Summary Of God by asalimpo(m): 10:24am On Dec 10, 2014 |
Dapo777:many ppl dont usually answer a strange question unanimously, but this is d case with the God question. Man acts instinctively like a dog barks without being taught to. A belief in God isnt learned behaviour. |
Re: A Summary Of God by Nobody: 10:33am On Dec 10, 2014 |
asalimpo: What are you saying? If you were born into an atheist family,would you believe in GOD? |
Re: A Summary Of God by AllNaijaBlogger(m): 10:37am On Dec 10, 2014 |
I wonder what kind of human being this sinnequanon is. He doesn't believe in God and calls Him subjective. However, Sinnequanon denies being an atheist. What is this guy's agenda? |
