But I just want to update my status.

Hey man, I know you already know the answer but seek other people opinion. So this is my personified thought.

If no God then no sin, reason why? God made sin as being unlawful or outlaw and since I'm debunking that same dog oppsss I meant God, I'm entitled to freewill.

Sin? Really? Is that the best argument you have? If that was the case, then people would shy away from "sin." Reality suggests otherwise. God is not a deterrent, law enforcement is.

But would be any enforcement without laws? If No then God made a mistake giving moses the 10 commandments and if Yes, God laws encompasses deterrent because one gotta face the music once the law is broken(sin).

Sin is everywhere. You have "sinned" already today, just with your thoughts!! You wouldn't attempt to steal an item if the owner was clearly watching your movements. Why do you then commit a "sin" if the owner/God will murder you for it? Doesn't make sense. Unless... the punishment isn't really a deterrence, you see. What I'm saying is that by "sinning" even once, you prove to me that you're not afraid of hell fire.

You comprehending ability needs to be worked on, I never subscribed to God neither I know anything called sin, the is only one truth which is wisdom and there is only one evil which is ignorance so deal with it.

Parable of the Birds

Once upon a time there was a man who looked upon Christmas as a lot of humbug. He wasn’t a Scrooge. He was a kind and decent person, generous to his family, upright in all his dealings with other men. But he didn’t believe all that stuff about Incarnation which churches proclaim at Christmas. And he was too honest to pretend that he did. “I am truly sorry to distress you,” he told his wife, who was a faithful churchgoer. “But I simply cannot understand this claim that God becomes man. It doesn’t make any sense to me.”

On Christmas Eve his wife and children went to church for the midnight service. He declined to accompany them. “I’d feel like a hypocrite,” he explained. “I’d rather stay at home. But I’ll wait up for you.”

Shortly after his family drove away in the car, snow began to fall. He went to the window and watched the flurries getting heavier and heavier. “If we must have Christmas,” he thought, “it’s nice to have a white one.” He went back to his chair by the fireside and began to read his newspaper. A few minutes later he was startled by a thudding sound. It was quickly followed by another, then another.

He thought that someone must be throwing snowballs at his livingroom window. When he went to the front door to investigate, he found a flock of birds huddled miserably in the storm. They had been caught in the storm and in a desperate search for shelter had tried to fly through his window. “I can’t let these poor creatures lie there and freeze,” he thought. “But how can I help them?” Then he remembered the barn where the children’s pony was stabled. It would provide a warm shelter.

He put on his coat and galoshes and tramped through the deepening snow to the barn. He opened the door wide and turned on a light. But the birds didn’t come in. “Food will lure them in,” he thought. So he hurried back to the house for bread crumbs, which he sprinkled on the snow to make a trail into the barn. To his dismay, the birds ignored the bread crumbs and continued to flop around helplessly in the snow. He tried shooing them into the barn by walking around and waving his arms. They scattered in every direction – except into the warm lighted barn.

“They find me a strange and terrifying creature,” he said to himself, “and I can’t seem to think of any way to let them know they can trust me. If only I could be a bird myself for a few minutes, perhaps I could lead them to safety. . . .”

Just at that moment the church bells began to ring. He stood silent for a while, listening to the bells pealing the glad tidings of Christmas. Then he sank to his knees in the snow. “Now I do understand,” he whispered. “Now I see why You had to do it.”

I like this story so much.

The moral of this story is that compared to God, we humans are like small animals (pigeons) and we do not truly understand him. Unfortunately, this story also implies that God is a hapless man who also does not understand us pigeons and has to resort to different silly ways of luring us into his comfortable abode.


God works in mysterious ways.

Merry christmas!

sonOfLucifer:
Show me how.

the root of ALL sin is unbelief, unbelief manifest itself in many kind of sin such as fearfulness ,pride ,greed ecetra .

FEARFULNESS: in judges1:19. The isrealite had God on their side but the cannanite had thousands of iron Chariots. The isrealite allowed fear to prevail over there faith in God.

PRIDE:
Pride is unbelief pure and simple. We
seek to lift ourselves up before others
because we do not believe that God can
or will lift us up.

GREED: a teacher may shere toy to his little children, the toy mean nothing to him, what is important is how this little ones will react , we often seen one little child out of greed take the toy of his friend, why ? Because he knows if he request for the teacher to give him one more toy, the teacher will refused, this create UNBELIEF.

In this world, things are of little significance. God can give them in
abundance or take them away if it is for
our good. Everything is controlled by
God. When we realize this all-important
fact it will change the way we live. We
often hear someone say, “I got a job!” The truth is that none of us ever got jobs in our lives.Listen to what the Bible says in Psalm 75:6-7: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south but God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another” . Since God is in control of our lives, we can relax and expect him to give us what we need in the way of jobs, money and whatever else.

1 Tim. 6:6-8
“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that”

And it involves blasphemy ? Deceiving one's self has to be the worst of folly

When you fully become an atheist you will be one of those who claim to have finished every book in the bible like plaetton

Please, sit down and reason calmly.

Yap.

If God works in mysterious ways, as the goddist always claim, then isn't that all the proof that religion is nothing but a scam?

The mystery of god should make religion irrelevant and superfluous, because it is an admission that religious people worship something they don't and would never understand.

Therefore, one who opts out of worshipping mystery, to instead , observe, catalogue and study the footprints of nature, is more reasonable and more useful to society and humanity.

My apologies. It seemed like you created a syllogism in favor of the Bible god back there and it wasn't working.

No, no, you don't understand God works in ways that are completely indistinguishable from random chance because HE IS WHO HE IS.

Also, you need FAITH to understand God. No matter how intelligent you think you are. You need to let him reveal himself to you. If God were just to reveal Himself, what would be the need for faith?

You may think that you are more useful to society but without God what stops me from killing the next person I see?

END TIME IS NEEAARR!!!
Atheist, repent NOW!!!
Or burn in Hell forever!!!

Lol, jk.

quit your foolery, I get this feeling you don't even know the context to which you ought to use the word syllogism because I never gave philosophical premise for you to draw out valid or invalid conclusions, I was even thinking you tryna blend in with the word not knowing you so ignorant with it.

Dude, this is a public forum not a private conversation between two people. You're in the process of doing some serious damage to your online reputation. Here is your comment with the senseless syllogism, and read the posted page.

If there is no enforcement without laws [whatever that means], then God made a mistake blah blah blah...

There is CLEARLY no enforcement without laws anywhere on planet Earth.

Therefore blah blah blah.

What were you trying to say BTW? The thing still escapes my poor comprehension. You may be correct about one thing though, upon taking a second glance, the word salad you posted back there doesn't deserve to be called a syllogism. If you're going through some things in life, please do me a favor and leave me out of them. I'm not impressed by your difficulties.

There is a thin line between my thoughts and your comprehension and your lack of comprehension of my thoughts possibly isn't a yard stick to draw your conclusions, what you needed to do was for you to call me up to throw more light to my write up but now you making it seem like its a problem for me to leave you out of.
