Yes because Faith is the excuse people give themselves to believe something that they absolutely have no reason to believe at all in the first place.

Faith is what it takes to believe something you ordinarily wouldn't have believed.

I'd rather base my confidence in reason, logic and empirical study other than blind faith because faith in essence is blind and dishonest.

it entails insertion of stoic conviction asserted without reason and needs to be protected against all reason.

none of us needs faith when something is clearly evidential, it is only when people want to substitute emotions for proof and fantasy for reality that they invoke faith.

If you only need faith to believe something then it's obvious you have no reason to believe it at all

Please sir tell us what you mean by that bolded phrase?

reasonwitme:
i am crying right now cos of u my brother.how can God allow an asset to his kingdom to wander away.u r an extraordinary being, deep rooted in God,did wonders and about to turn d world around for him but here u r,wandering away. Y God?I have one prayer point;God Pls prove urself again in d life of dis ur son so he can testify of ur existence.my brother,u r too dangerous and knowledgeble to b left in d hands of unbelief.u shall do greater things for God.

GOD WOULD HAVE KEPT HIM CLOSE TO HIM IF HE WAS AUTHENTIC!

I SEE THE WHOLE BIBLE AS ONE FAT COMIC BOOK, SO THAT WHENEVER I'M BORED AND TRYING TO GIVE UP ON LIFE... I FLIP ITS PAGES AND READ SOME COMIC STUFF THAT REMINDS ME THAT I'M NOT AS FOOLISH AS THE MILLIONS WHO BELIEVE THE BIBLE STORIES.



IF YOU'RE A LITERATE PERSON, AND KNOW HOW TO READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ,
YOU DON'T NEED TO READ THE BIBLE FOR YEARS TO SEE HOW bleeped UP IT IS.

THE FIRST 5 CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS REALLY MESSED EVERYTHING UP.

I READ THOSE CHAPTERS ALMOST ANYTIME I'M BORED.. .. SUCH A GREAT STORY!

THANK YOU GOD FOR INSTRUCTING THE AUTHORS, AT LEAST SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD COMIC BOOKS OR TICKETS TO WATCH AY AND CO ON STAGE, I JUST READ YOUR "HOLY" FUNNY BOOK AND LAUGH FOR FREE

kolinz:



Great one from you, since you guys don't believe in the existence of any God or god could you please tell me here what you believe to be the true account of the creation of earth and the origin of man using empirical evidence.

Take the following in consideration,
1, logic is not enough to counter the existence of God i. e because u don't believe doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

2, man have existed for over a billion years

yungchop:
its a simple statement. Its a double chance option. that is to say if you're the confused type just live in peace.

Millex:
If you say God threw Job under the bus by allowing the devil test him then you are mistaken.
If you have a very brilliant child or a staff you say is of good character, won't you be proud of that child or staff. Won't you boost of that child to everyone? Surely someone will say it's because he is under your supervision that the child /staff is good and would request to test him.
That is exactly what happened God asked the Devil have your seen my son Job? Sure God must have pointed other people to Devil and God allowed devil to test them. However Job was referenced in the bible because he didn't fall, others must have fallen. Have you forgotten that to him who endure temptation and and prosecution shall be crowned with a crown of gold in the end.
If all these had happened before the time of Jesus they would have been struck down. Jesus came and gave us dispensation of grace, that's why you can abuse God and not have felt the wrath of God.
My prayer is that you return to God and be sober, for after the rapture every man left behind would shed his own blood during tribulation to be saved.

johnydon22:


This doesn't answer the question sir.. my question was what exactly does "live as if there is a God" mean?

yungchop:
even if there is no god, live like there is!

wirinet:


You people are so in love with fairy tales, so much so that your whole existence is rooted in fairy tales.
Now, if God and Devil are always also conferencing to test humans on who commands more loyalty between the two of them, why disturb the rest of humanity? Let two of them get into the ring and test their powers or popularity, it has nothing to do with the rest of humanity.

yungchop:
I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN A SUPREME BEING ( ALLAH) TILL THE DAY HUMAN WILL CREATE A LIVING THING.

johnydon22:



This is incorrect i wonder where you got that

swaggzo:


MY MAN IT SEEMS YOU'RE A MUSLIM.

ONE TIME, A MUSLIM FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THAT ACCORDING TO YOUR RELIGION, THE MOON RISES AND SETS FROM A BODY OF WATER.
IS THAT TRUE?

kolinz:

Your evolution theory, Now educate me on the origin of man

johnydon22:
you are not even understanding your own words.

How does one live as if there is a God or vice versa?

kolinz:


Your evolution theory,
Now educate me on the origin of man

DrDxtrz:

Lol please drop the query, that was a ludicrous statement he/she made.

johnydon22:


The story of Job painted a rather simpleton-like God who could be easily swayed by just a little trick of the devil.

"Just take away all his wealth and you will see he will renounce you" Said the devil.

God thought for a while and was like "Hhmmm eeehm ok let's do it"
(for goodness sake he was supposed to be all knowing!!! )

how come such taunting childish trick worked on him, like seriously

The bible paints a rather ignorant, childish, easily taunted and deceived concept still claiming all powerful, all knowing which contradicts all it's actions in the bible

7Randall:
This is the more reason we need to pray for those who don't believe in God. You can't just wake up into existence. There muse be something or someone behind it

@OP lovely thread.
Nice write up, but I have an issue why will you say God is silly? page six of this thread. You don't have any authority to call someone silly, remember you can't create a soul or life.
But I still noticed in your writing God you use the small letter ""g'' that means you are referring to a smaller god.
one thing I learnt in life is that belief is a personal thing you are free to tours and experience has thought you a lot.
Even as an atheist, do you belief that there is a supernatural controller of the universe who is in charge of the world?
All I know is that we have a supernatural power controlling the universe and someone is in charge so that person is God.
Your God can be whatever r you call it as long as it controls your.
An interesting write up, am still following.

The story of Job paint God and Devil not as enemies or adversaries as assumed by Christians but as competitors for man's worship and loyalty. That god and Satan can sit around the same table and discuss shows the is no mortal hatred between the two.

dazzlingd:

it's your type to make people turn atheists..so much anger, ur outburst is not helping. It rly matched the atheist God concept of "I love u, love me back or I set u on fire, but u ve freewill"

swaggzo:





BRO YOU AND THE OTHERS TALK TOO MUCH. YOU TRY TO BACK YOUR SELF UP TO THESE GUYS LIKE THE BIBLE IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

MAN THAT BOOK IS SIMPLY FUNNY. I CAN'T STRESS MY SELF TALKING ABOUT THAT WHOLE LOAD OF CRAP.


RELIGION WAS CREATED AND DESIGNED BY MERE MEN.

AND NOW THEY KNOW THEY CANNOT MODIFY ANY PART OF IT CUZ THE WORLD HAS GROWN UP TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF EXPOSURE, AND THE FAKENESS OF THE BOOK IS NOW BEING RECOGNIZED BY EVEN TODLERS, THEY'RE TRYING TO REMIX IT BY CREATING DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE BOOK, CHANGING CERTAIN NAMES OF PEOPLE AND PLACES IN AN ATTEMPT TO COVER UP THE SCAM AND MAKE THE COMIC BOOK SEEM MORE AUTHENTIC. ..

BUT IT ONLY GETS FUNNIER!

E tire me bros. . . People don't actually think before posting any rubbish that comes to their mind online

Lol claro, obviously he realized he made a ridiculous statement.
