dalaman: Ok. Sure. that's why all of Jesus disciples preferred to die horrible deaths than deny Christ. because they wanted to propagate their man made idea. Gotcha. |

aaronson: Ok..... Ever heard of the word 'prediction' in science ![]() Most people don't rili know what faith means....Faith is what bridges the gap between what we know and where we hope to be going. Faith helps us connect cause and effect, bad decisions with good intentions, and everything we think and hope to be true. Most of our decisions in life have some degree of faith hovering in the background, and science is no exception. |

johnydon22: When i tell people you guys are simply copy-pasting your ideas, they dont believe me. zeus is not referred as god almighty anywhere dude. He was known as the father of the gods. osiris was never hailed as god almighty but as god of the underworld he was hailed as "king of the living". you should do some reading up yourself bro. ![]() but your cronies wont see this. thats the problem with atheism(almost same as blind christianity). you refuse to learn new things ![]() |

Humblebloke: Prediction - a prediction is a rigorous, often quantitative, statement, forecasting what will happen under specific conditions; for example, if an apple falls from a tree it will be attracted towards the center of the earth by gravity with a specified and constant acceleration. Faith - Strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. How do you equate the two? 1 Like |

5minsmadness:What is 'godism'? oh, but according to science, humanity has been around for a few million years already. We should have evolved into something else by now as a means of sheer necessity shouldn't we?We are still evolving... of course you'd have reservations about evolution. Too many holes to be punched into. BUT it is a main scientific milestone. so if scientists can be wrong about evolution and even carbon dating, is it possible they can be wrong about the existence of GOD as well?What holes? Wrong how? Carbon dating is wrong too? NB science has no stance on God. Personal beliefs of individual scientists have nothing to do with science. |

babyshaQ1: ![]() ![]() ![]() You see jonnydon? I know a little more than some of your folks here obviously ![]() Of course GOD can create the world in 6days. He is GOD unlimited, HIs powers are waaaay beyond your comprehension! it even marvels me how people belittle him by thinking he only created life on this planet. i think your problem is you were limited to believing the bible when you were a christian(i could be wrong). the bible doesn't explain everything. in fact it is a very brief summary on what GOD can really do but today Christians take it as all in all which is their main mistake. but just because the bible isn't complete doesn't mean GOD doesn't exist. question for you, have you ever had anything supernatural, non-scientifically explainable happen to you? if you havent then i understand why you wont believe in the supernatural. another question. has it ever bothered you that the ancient creation story seems to follow the process of evolution? How did those illiterate ignorant desert authors like johnydon22 likes to call them know the exact sequence of how things were created? any answers? |

Humblebloke:lemme school you a bit......these are the steps involved in science.... Observation>hypotheses&predictions>practicals or experiment> finally law/facts/theory. Now the miseducation of people on religion is the reason primitive minds believe in faith,like you said,faiths are things unseen but hoped for which is synonymous with this....faith is blind like justice when you face a time!!! I feel like I'm schooling somebody already,you gotta pay me bro,lol don't worry I'm kidding you but you gotta go study and think for yourself,the revolution won't be televised,the revolution is personal. |

5minsmadness: -So you're saying that, the fact that not everybody believes in God, is proof of his/her/its existence? Ok... -Atheism isn't 'anti-all-gods'(that would be Kratos). It's simply disbelieve which I'm sure you know already. Perhaps if you guys were quoting scriptures of Zeus, erecting monuments and insisting we trade science for Greek mythology, we'll talk more about him. 2 Likes |

Re: I Dont Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist by 5minsmadness: 8:07pm On Mar 19, 2015 |
johnydon22: Yes I do. i believe religion is a powerful force, enough to brainwash a person into doing extremely foolish things. BUt the jihadist blowing himself up happens in moments. usually he has undergone series of extreme brain-washing and sometimes i hear they are even threatened with the death of their families if they don't go ahead with it. Also it takes just a moment to press the trigger button and they see themselves in 'heaven' with their 72 virgins. Christ's apostles and disciples enjoyed no such luxury as an instantaneous death. they were crucified upside down, ensuring blood rushed to their brains to keep them alive for as long as possible to endure the pain. some were skewered, some were boiled alive, others were thrown to lions and allowed to run around as they anticipated being torn to shreds. the distinct difference between jihadists and the early Christians is that they were not sacrificing themselves to kill others. there was no revenge factor involved, these men were being motivated by pure love and what they hoped to prove to people by their exemplary deaths. These men simply refused to deny their faith. what did they see that made them so sure of themselves? in other news, I heard you just turned atheist/humanist not up to a year or so ago ![]() |

DProDG:It means when one is god. i hope i am correct? We are still evolving...kindly prove it. What holes? Wrong how? Carbon dating is wrong too? yes it is, but they have worked on it. the carbon-dating clock was recently reset. read it up. NB science has no stance on God. Personal beliefs of individual scientists have nothing to do with science. I agree. However atheism has a stance on god. it fervently and almost violently believes that god does not exist. I know scientists who despite their high advancement in the field still believe in a god that created everything so i get where you are coming from. but this thread is about atheists. |

Re: I Dont Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist by 5minsmadness: 8:31pm On Mar 19, 2015 |
DProDG: atheism is the lack of belief in gods, as far as i know kratos is the god of strength, unless you are referring to that guy in god-of-war. but i'm not quoting scriptures of zeus because GOD almighty is mightier than him. simples. |

Damn ... I missed this hot argument ? First .. hell is not in existence now Second.. God is not a sky being . He didnt come from nothing like the Big Bang , God has no validity . He has no beginning , no end . So mighty your brains which came about by mistake can comprehend Thirdly ... Jesus Christ is the way you can escape God's punishment Four .. Big Bang has no explaination for its initial conditions , so its a baseless theory. Fossils are no evidence of evolution but of pre-adamic creations Five ... How is christianity a scam , when there are people defying comfort ,preaching the gospel in villages and war-torn regions. My church also takes care of poor widows , orphans and less-privileged from the proceeds of welfare offerings. Six... God made the laws for the good of man and not for Himself. Do not fornicate , u go do am get belle , STDs, na Him get am? Seven... Please , If you dont understand or comprehend His existence , I strongly advise you stay away for your own good Eight... I despise people who talk foolishness in the name of science Nine ... Atheists are attention- obsessed individuals , ignore them . Ten ... Am a miracle baby ![]() Eleven ... Yimu to people who think their ability to see , hear , talk , love , hate , reason , reproduce , walk , eat , possess consciousness and conscience , fingers to type trash on Nairaland was some mistake that just happened 1 Like |
