Why would a man from the Middle-East die for your sin?
Who told you all these stories?

That's the complex question, why would he die for your sins. Why, does he even know you?, you probably weren't yet born. Yet He died. You are so wise.

PastorAIO:


You hit the nail on the head right there and that is the mistake many theists on NL are making. They are so desperate to win the argument that they resort to all sorts of underhand methods and aggressive yabbis. What they don't realise is that it is not just the people they are arguing with, nor even just the members of this forum, that are reading the posts and getting influenced. It is everybody that comes to NL mostly guests. These christians do so much for the spread of atheism with their inanities in their attempts to counter atheism.

Just make your points. Ask pertinent questions that strike right at the heart of a matter. Then Let the Religionists rage and hurl inanities at you. Once they do that, then your job is done. seeds have been planted. The failure of the apologists to logically respond is made clear for all to see.They will factor that into their own soul searching.

GBAM! It's like you were speaking straight from my mind.

Never expected so many people to find this thread. And as I said before, I have given a lot of personal details. So sorry guys, no more updates.
You saying my story is a lie does not make it a lie so those in this category can shove their opinion up their assssses cos I am not here to please you.

Using Reverse-psychology won't help either. You try to discredit me while actually your aim is for me to give more details about myself then you would be able to determine were and how to rubbish me. I get all these tactics. You have no idea who you are dealing with.

Will continue today anyway. Those who are here to preach and insult and what not should please save themselves all the stress. You all seem to be having a hard life.

people saying your story is a lie does not make it a lie...true.... hmmm... that sounds so so familiar... oh yes, I remember... you not beliving in God and saying God or the bible is a lie does not make God a Lie.... get it?

You shouldn't. I think critical thought can lead to more fruitful living than blind faith.

Because I can't jump "count" one to get to count millions...

You can start your own counting from zillions

that's convenient for your arguments though.

cloudgoddess:

Trust me critical thinking doesn't lead to a more fruitful life,infact its a burden . Most of us having conflicting thoughts about the existence of God are miserable or at most unhappy. Blind faith is equally a miserable existence but at least they are not aware of it so they escape the burden.

its painful though... telling people your life story and they say its a lie... like they were there... lol... even if 100 futarians attest to your story some 'daft' people will still say it is a lie... take them back in time they will still say it is a lie... no matter how God proves himself to you, even if he comes down from heaven, the daftness wont let you see beyond the wall of lies you have created for yourself... Believe it or leave it... There is God, happy workers day.

FOR THOSE OF U THAT ARE ALREADY BELIEVING THIS CRAP FROM THIS OP, PLS DON'T BOTHER READING HIS THRASH.

JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS NIGGA NAMED HARDMIRROR HAS BEEN AN OFF AND ON ATHEIST FOR AGES

HE JUST WANT TO CONFUSE PEOPLE THE WAY HE'S CONFUSED.

HE'S JUST LYING THAT HE'S AN ATHEIST NOW BUT WILL PRAISE GOD TOMORROW.

LET'S HELP HIM OUT, I THINK HIS PROBLEM IS POVERTY.

HE ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE AGAIN AND HE'S NOT SURE OF THE WAY TO FOLLOW.

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOTS OF HIS PREVIOUS POSTS

MAYBE HE HAS BEEN PRAYING FOR MONEY BUT THE MONEY IS NOT FORTHCOMING SO HE NOW BELIEVE THERE'S NO GOD AND WHEN THERE'S MONEY HE WILL BELIEVE IN GOD AGAIN.

POVERTY IS A SERIOUS DISEASE INDEED.

SURE HE NEEDS HELP!!!!!!!!!

Mr HardMirror,
These are evidences that prove that your write up and current belief system is not genuine.

I personally think you are a person that cannot handle the challenges of life. Just because you've worked for God in the past doesn't make you immune to the challenges of life.

I am not here to preach any sermon but don't allow circumstances to dictate your belief system. The same guy that posted 'God just picked my call' just last week is now saying God doesn't exist. Obviously, you are unstable in your belief system.

Why haven't you discredited the claims in the quoted post? Are they photo shopped? or was your account hacked?

I get what you mean,Nigeria is an extremely religious country,declaring your unbelief in God ostracizes you,you lose friends and social circles. Its better to live in sin and pretend you love Jesus than to say you don't believe in the myth,intact a lot of companies wouldn't even hire you lol

HardMirror, what exactly do you stand to gain from this? Why are you doing this? *no offence meant*
Pls retrace your steps. I know it will be hard because you once knew the whole Word and Jesus Christ personally. Hebrews 6 vs 4-6. You have tasted the good Word and the heavenly gifts. The Bible even says in that scripture that it will be impossible but... Just try and if you can't, then do not drag back your innocent converts or other gullible people. Ur story brought tears to my eyes and I prayed for you. Take care. I don't know you but on behalf of Christians, we still love U.

matrix199:



My brother, what can we do na? As the christianoids are praying to God to compress our reasoning so we'll accept their faith , we'll also be enlightening them so their reasoning can expand.

Na so one of my neighbours who is a christian fanatic, the man go dey pray everyday from 4am to 9am, then 9pm to 12pm every damn day. At first I cut cap for the man say the man fit dey pray this long consistently, but I got the shocker one day. This man begin pursue him wife with cutlass say hje go kill her, say where she get money wey she use take buy brand new car. Na so I begin laff. Shey no be u dey pray for success and prosperity for ur family eh? Now money don show for ur wife, but not u, u begin reason say ur wife dey sleep with rich men dey make money. I laff tire.

The man don end up with mental problem. He has been confined to a psychiatric hospital.

Bros U be real comedian. I have been laughing like a mad man here. Only say I no carry cutlass dey chase anybody.

out of Gods LOVE for we unbelivers, he sent his son to die for us... and you dont believe it, But when op was a christian,... he usually pray for 12 hours non stop because of the LOVE he has for unbelivers... 12 hours!!!!!!.... thats like 6am to 6pm non stop... guess what... ADONBILIVIT!!!!!!... I see God using this as a means to show you how wrong you are about him... notice how people dont believe your true story... same way you dont believe God's story.. I noticed how pained you are.. you even had to stop posting... Imagine how God feels too... awwwww

HardMirror:
Am I implying that Insincerity, selfishness and ignorance is what is keeping Christians as christians.
The answer is a BIG YES!
The moment I began asking god the questions such as the one in my last post, that very moment I began to discover the falsehood of christianity.
If you are sincere and truely concerned about your fellow man, you realize god is more wicked, stupid and incapable than the presumed devil.

I don't have the right to judge you. Who am I to anyway.

Have you ever thought that, " what if the hell and heaven that You preached about was real?"

It will be a disaster if at the end of time, you discover that all your present believe about God is false.

God didn't answer all your numerous questions then because your mind is already made up.

I challenge you sir to go down on your knees again in fasting and praying and ask him questions troubling you.

Peace be unto you sir.

HardMirror:
CONTINUATION...
My gradual loss in believe in the bible kept growing. I can say 2010 was the year I was last a christian, 2011 was the year of researching christianity and asking the important questions, 2012 I made up my mind i have had enough of being afraid of the truth.

We give a lot of excuses for god when things don't work out the way we expect and we praise god when coincidentally things fall in place.

Had another incidence in 2010 which rattled my faith.
One of my favorite books was "GOD's GENERALS" and the story of Kathrine KULMAN was my favorite. I got very carried away by one of her proteges BENNY HIN and really loved his book GOOD MORNING HOLY SPIRIT.
I always felt I had a similar calling to Kathrine Kulman. So marriage was something I believed won't be for me. All I wanted was to fully give myself to God.
So when ever I have the opportunity, I made sure I let the Spirit work fully. Manifesting so people would know God is real and affects their reality.
I never felt anything is impossible for God.
So early 2010 (before the idanre Outreach), we were on outreach to Ajabuto, a farming community in Ondo state.
The head of the community was a blind man and they still served idols. In fact there was an idol right in from of the community head's house.

This Outreach was a turning point in the lives of all ASF members that were involved. (We must have been more than 40 that were involved).
Everyone that went on this outreach returned to futa fully convinced of the supernatural.
For the first time in their lives, they were laying hands on the sick and casting out demons.

That night as the villagers gathered and I preached, many never knew what to expect. When I began giving word of knowledge and people were coming out responding. I asked the other ASF members I was with to start praying for people laying hands on them. And the whole place exploded.
I remember a brother coming to meet me after the program excited and saying he could not believe he layed hands on people and they were falling and reacting to the power of God. Many ASF members that were on this outreach got baptised in the spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues.
It was spectacular. It was like being in the Shangrila of the Holy Spirit.

We were confident God was ready to do anything and everything no matter how impossible it may seem.

The community head did not attend the crusade so we visited him early in the morning the next day. Remember the man was blind and had an idol at the entrance to his house.

Long story short, this man gave his life to christ that morning, abolished idol worshiping.
BUT. How could we preach a God that is greater than all other gods, a God who is the Almighty, All powerful! All loving!
A god we claim is better than his idol and yet leave this man blind. NO way! This man will see today!
So we prayed that God should restore his sight. A simple prayer that did not work. Then we had to query the man if he lacked faith (I remember this incidence with sadness). The man was almost in tears, he kept shout ""Jesu Mogbagbo!"
("Jesus I believe!". )
Damn!
"Heal me! I believe!"
Seeing him in this condition asking Jesus to heal him touched me. I insisted we won't leave until he sees.
We prayed and prayed and prayed. You can guess the rest. The man stayed the same.

I could not sleep the night of that day. I kept asking, "why?"

"Maybe the man lacked faith" common you can't be serious this man wanted to see badly, he wanted God to heal him. He was begging God with all his heart.
"Maybe I was doing it to show off". Haba! I knew I wasn't. I felt bad for this poor man.
There was absolutely no reason why God should not have healed that man.
God was mute, he never told me why.
Yet he promises that, "ANYTHING WE ASK IN HIS NAME SHALL BE GRANTED. ANYTHING!" "IF WE HAD FAITH LIKE A MUSTARD SEED WE WILL ASK MOUNTAINS TO BE UPROOTED AND THROWN INTO THE SEA" don't try to twist these scriptures. They are simple and straight forward, Problem is it does not work. Even if you have faith as big as pawpaw you can never command grass to be uprooted talkless of commanding mountain with mustard seed faith.
God is a liar, he does not honor his promises. Deep in my heart I knew this was the answer, but I had a deep relationship with God that would never allow such to take root easily.
But if God could not do this what can he now do? What was the value of his promises. His word that he has exulted above all His names?

Indeed something was wrong.
I can't continue to blame myself, the devil and people for God not doing what he promises even after all criterias has been met. And most annoying is he won't even reveal why he is not honouring his word, you have to keep guessing.

Indeed something was wrong, I knew where the problem was, but it was terrifying to even think of it. So God takes glories for good things that coincidentally happens to man (hard work or coincidence), but we take the blame when God fails in his own end of the bargain

This was an incidence that really rattled me.
The big question now is, " does God answer prayers?"
After all, I have seen God in action many times, I have seen him heal people so many times, I have been healed many times with out taking a single pill.

No, I don't think you know me.

PastorAIO:


You're right, I do not know you, neither do i care to know you. My concern is with what pertains on this thread.

I don't see any mind games. What's wrong with someone forming an opinion about christians and then saying, 'the thing with u christians...'?

The guy he accused of using upper keys, did he actually use upper keys or was he falsely accused?

I don't see any mind games in those 2 cases you gave. Calling someone out for unnecessary use of upper case letters is just what it is and not a mind game.

What is wrong with using cap lock? Why was he complaining and reading meaning into someone using cap lock. He said the guy was trying to intimidate him by using that which isn't true. Do you know what mind game is? Let me give you an instance.....

You donot want to be a Christian anymore, probably because u sold ur soul to the devil and it's late to come back to God. Look here, it's very very hard for a true pastor of that calibre to become atheist. You can backside but saying there is no God means something is wrong with the persons. then u take ur frustration on Christians, come up with a fake story but used real life persons and places to garnish it just to make people believe like Satan always does.

Then u start ur story with only one aim to make people see why Christianity is wrong because he said it clearly that God was created by men. Instead of finishing the story and let's see where things went wrong, he kept hanging and fighting people using their own replies. That is mind game because he needs attention and he later said it. He said if their is no fruit then people won't throw stones. Means he is attracting people's attention somehow.

He even said frustration don hold all of una. Obviously, he is having a laugh at the mentions he getting, after all he said he is just having fun.

Instead of getting on with it, he's playing on people's mind. He hasn't finished his story but has condemned christianity countless while replying people.

The false story was to get attention and u don't think that is mind game when there is no end or a story at all?

homeboy205:





Enlighten me please mr, this is a good story you got here but what happens to our soul after death? I know our body decay but lately I've been doing a soul thinking and thinking something else about our soul beside going to hell to burn... Please what do you think happen to the soul after death...

Thank you

No one can give a candid suppositions of our state after the physical death,the after life is another dimension We all had a feeling we've been here before so the believe of reincarnation is even more straightforward than the blurry concept of heaven and paradise.( if these heaven is in the andromeda gallaxy or constellation sef ) just like the animals,we share range of dimensional similarities,eat,poo,fight,rage,sex,survival of the fittest,steal,feelings,Death,etc.So in essence we should stop feeling too important.When we die,we lost the conciousness from our human brain but the real conciousness that is our spirit lives on but in another depth. Goat,dogs,mosquitoes,cockroaches and micro bacterias and organisms are eequally the same conciousness no different from us.So enjoy the Here and Now thats your best bet.So when you die your human conciousness(brain,mind) is halted,another which is still inexplicable floats on.

So you believe going to hell to burn stuff.Ayyy!! The truth is the shadowy concept of god was created by humans but cannot be fully deciphered by the human brain.The maker of the Universe can't be a low life, and can't interact in our dimension. Jehovah (thats if there is any beign like that)or whatever you call him still finds it fun to interact in our dimension.To govern us.Lmao

Have read your story and it's quite interesting. I'll like to respond, but before I proceed let me inform you I'm no church person trying to re-convert you. Rather, I'm here to point out the misconceptions you had from the beginning and still do. Hopefully, it would you understand better.

I'll be quoting some of your comments I find interesting.

1.

Yes, you're right, but you don't fully understand why and why hypnotism itself works.

Nature is configured to work that way. You don't have to be a christian for that to happen. You could be a muslem, a babalawo, a monk, a celebrity, anything. If you exert that kind of influence on someone, nature will activate the person receiving such incantations to trust you and get healed. This's why Jesus Christ who had a great knowledge of how nature works emphasized faith among his followers.

T. B. Joshua use it even now, and it's not a bad thing, as long as whoever is using it is using it for good. Of course, thieves also use it to rob people by sheer threat without even wielding a gun!.

This's also the natural tool available to parents to control their children. If such natural powers doesn't exist, children would not obey their parents. It works all the time and would continue to work. Even if now as an unbeliever you go out and start attending to your former followers, it would still work, as long as they don't realize you're no longer a believer. It have nothing to do with the bible or koran or Torah. Again, it's natural.

2.

Similar to the above, if your followers believe what you're saying is true, nature would activate it in their mind as real, even if you were deliberately telling them a lie. Nature works in a way that it's the receiver of such sermon decide whether it's real or not, not YOU. You could be a 419'ner and it would still work!. It's just nature working, it have nothing to do with the bible or koran or Torah.

3.

Not really. But, it's almost like the above. It's the onlooker that decides whether a magic is real or not. Not the actor!!. It's not YOU that decides whether the magic is real or not. As far as the mind of the onlookers are concerned a magic is real. In the eyes of your followers your magic or incantations were real, even if you were a fake pastor deliberating fooling them. Both of you were experiencing reality in opposite sides. If your followers believed your sermon or magic were real, you are not better than them for knowing it was a fake. To them it was real, to you it was a fake. Just two sides of the same coin!!.

Quantum physics also have same discoveries!. Scientists were able to get 2 correct answers from 1 question!!. Reality depends on the mind perceiving it.!!. Again, YOU are not the one that decides reality for someone else. I wish I could get someone understand this, cause it's so important. That's how nature works!!.

4.

It's all the same as above. It was the woman that experienced the reality NOT you!!. Indeed, your prayers worked as far as the woman was concern. Or did it not work??.

I'll be so glad, if you could understand what God means and keep helping such women get back their lives.

5.

This just a misconception. God is you!. It's up to you to pursue good for humanity using that feel good spirit. There's no other God that would solve humanity's problem than you.

6.

Like No. 6 above, this misconception originates from your mistaken concept of God all the while you were a preacher. God wants you to do anything you can for the advancement of humanity. And when you're doing that he's doing it.

7.
This's where you exposed your biggest misconception about God.

God is not interested in religion!. God has nothing to do with religion!!. Jesus Christ himself was not a christian neither were he a chruch person. In one instance he went to the church (synagogue) and began destroying the whole place because he felt they weren't doing things right.

God is not interested how many times you pray or so called saving souls for him, but how well you served humanity for good- solving those problems that threw you away from the church. Without mincing words; what this comment tell me is that you were a christian fanatics all the while, same way your friends and big pastors were and still are.

Even if God and Jesus were real and you based your entitlement on the above, God and Jesus would still have rejected you in heaven, if any. Indeed, Jesus said: [b]"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast[/s]

Lies from the pit of hell.

Oga go and give your life to Christ and stop deceiving yourself and your fellow irreligious folks, Atheistards and baby Christians here on NL.

I think this argument is feeble... both one and a billion are numbers ...

Humans are creators and there are billions of humans in this planet not 1..

so i ask again, how do you now think it should be 1 creator and not a race of such beings?

or do you think 1 makes any less of an assumption?
