Diary Wow... And that not an hearsay from you.. evidence that the diary exist

Quit bitchtalking brother...

No one cares about the God they profess to... But a good number of those folks have start getting the picture of the after life... With the German standard health care we still lose close to 75% of our patients.

And who even told you I am a Christian.. another ignorance of generalization.
most of them confess due to fear of the unknown called hell,do u think if we have not being threatened with the myth called hell people would give a damn bout christianity nd islam,boko haram nd isis kill people to be able to enter heaven,why the so called church nd mosque goers nd even the spiritual ones do it cause of fear of hell

A teacher's cane is painful because I've seen it being used on someone severally.

Well, I need that God now, could you please help appeal to him to reveal himself to Mr. Snape?

... And I have many VALID reasons to be irreligious or agnostic.
That's a valid point, so if you come across several ppl who tell you they had cancer and then one day it was miraculously removed would you believe.

Give me one of those reasons

A wise man once said, "it is better to live your with the hope that God does exist and be proven wrong , than to live your life like he doesn't exist and have external regrets" wink smiley

As for the unanswered prayer please read:
Deuterolomy 29 vs 29

Then why don't the atheist hold on to their believe that ain't no God?? They should have to stop pleading to a superior being to either save their life or be gentle on their soon to be lost soul. Y'all are not gute Überlegen.. Wake up to ignorance and irrational rebellion, you need new pair of working medulla mate.

why are you cherry picking what I said? what about about the Christians too who were calling on God? why didn't he save them from the eventual death too?

if I was an atheist you just won the argument for me because I could have just replied you saying "god doesn't exist by proof of your reply"

by the way, I am a deist: I believe there is a God but I am not sold on the idea of religion.

so because we sin God has the right to condem us to hell

.did we beg him to create us in the first place
since he knew adam nd eve would eat from the forbidden fruit,why did he create satan nd plant the forbidden tree,is he not omniscient
Why can't he just forgive adam nd eve after they eat the fruit,atleast I make mistake nd my parent fogive me not to talk of a God that they said loves us than our parent
After cursing adam nd eve,why should he let the curse transfer to there generations,na we sin or is it our fault adam nd eve eat the damn fruit
we're on a topic... stick to it. you're arguing about the actions of an entity you claim does not exist... you're faulting God. if you think he doesn't exist your points should be at the fact that he doesn't exist not on what you don't understand about him.

Am not an atheist, though most people see me as thiest (but not a religious one though) just attending church for the sake of attending,but deep in my mind am an agnostic.but with kinda things I go through might end up being an atheist, because I don't even feel the if any God exist, cause I have not even felt him before, I watch people catch holy ghost and testifying to seeing angels but not even have I had a dream bout one before. We just have to keep worshiping though we shouldn't believe what we can see,but we worship him due to fear of the unknown.

Sometimes I even pray that if he exist he should show at least show himself in a dream or through a pastor,but he still never show himself to me,he doesn't have any message for me,damn who TF is he,we should keep worshipping him cause he we were told fairytale about one stupid hell they keep threatening us with.

Me and my friends once attended a night vigil,when the pastor was touching all of them head they kept falling (in my mind I was laughing at their funny charade), when it got to my time I didn't fall, I didn't even move back as he was trying to force me to maybe fall, since then i no attend the yeye church.

What am trying to drive at is am beginning to doubt the existence of God and if he doesn't show himself to me one of this days, then I might graduate into an atheist. Mind you oh yea preachers and gullible ones I don't need your preaching and bible verses. I have heard enough of that.

I have never seen God nor His angels; never seen either of Them in my dreams but I have felt His power and goodness.... That's all I needed to know He is here with me....

You don't go to church to praise Him but you want Him to be active in your life and visit you.... Come on, a girl that doesn't love you but only uses you to recharge her phone (and you know about this), will you continue being her mugu? Change your mindset and you will believe and even see Him

iamDiabolic, when I saw "I don't need your preaching and bible verses", I wanted to refrain from quoting you, but then I saw "I've heard enough of that".

Well iamDiabolic, you haven't heard shishi. And I mean shishi. All you have heard is hearsay.

If you really want to hear from God personally, then go and arrange a meeting with a Jehovah's witness. After that you can then make your final conclusion.

For instance you talked about hellfire. Well for what is worth, the bible doesn't teach there is hellfire. This is just a tip that you haven't heard the bible speak before. But only the artfully contrived false stories of Catholic and other religions is what you are imagining to be bible's teaching.

Because they can feel it as it moves around? Because Scientists have collected it and conducted experiments to find out what it's made up of?


Rain comes from water vapor in the air, which rises to form clouds in the sky. When the temperature falls, the water vapor turns into liquid and falls. When you take a cold bottle of coke out of the freezer, the bottle soon starts dripping with water. This is the same principle at work.

Fire is a result of combustion. When a fuel is heated to a sufficiently high temperature in the presence of air, it combines with oxygen and this chemical reaction releases a lot of energy in the form of heat and light, which you call fire. The fire dies when it runs out of fuel or oxygen.
You explained the principle fantastically as if the principle just came up on it's on.

How may years has the water cycle be running now? Do you have an answer?
You 24 hours in a day, that's how it has being for ages, no going back no going forward, let me guess, it is just there?
The earth rotates around it's axis at the perfect degree from the Sun, 0.001 degree closer and we all burn. 0.001 degree farther and we all freeze to death, and I guess you think is by chance as well!!

Yet when we see small inventions such as cars, aircraft, bullet trains, we sing the praises of their fabricator!!

Zafric:

If u look closely you will notice that the Big Bang Theory does not disprove the Bible. Newton's third law says for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. Thus the Bible says God created the world through spoken words but does not say the events that transpired after the words were spoken, only that the things were created. It is very possible that the word was spoken and the particles in space started colliding to cause the Big Bang. You can say that God existed outside creation a being that was not bound by time,matter, space. So if God created time,and space to exist in time and then matter to exist in space the term Creation no longer applies to him.
Stop stop... That sounds ridiculous
Funny enough, If you made this statement a few years ago, The catholic church would have burnt you alive for blasphemy
Its funny for Christians to try and explain the nonsense in the bible with proven scientific facts.

I may believe, And the last time I checked, Ailments can go naturally on rare occasions. I know Christians and Muslims who died of cancer and other little sicknesses. Weren't they faithful enough?... Didn't they serve their God diligently??

Reasons why I became an agnostic

1. Many things about religion didn't make sense to me.
2. I was born into Christianity, I didn't make that choice myself, If I had been born in the middle east, I most probably would have been a muslim. It not like it's my destiny to be a Christian.
3. Contradictions in the bible.
4. Atrocities in the world, Why is "our God" not doing anything about it??... Why
5. Hypocritical lifestyle of Christians and Muslims, and their religious leaders.

Etc, Bros, The reasons are just too numerous, ain't gat the patience to type all.

According to the philosopher William L. Rowe, "agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist.atheist act of disproving God Is to acknowledge the limitations of human perception.they themselves,can they explain why we are on earth that's why learning is continuous,just because you don't have the ability to discover something doesn't mean you should rule it out

Op, i used to be just like u. Born as a Christian and just went to church for the sake. Got into university and i knew i had my life in my hands(or so i taught ), went to church a number of times in my first year and that was it for me. Never went again. Lived my life the way i want, besides it was my life (i taught ). Had a dream of the existence of God in 400 level, but ignored it. It wasnt until my final year (500L), that it dawned on me, saw God's manifestation and he spoke to my heart and i believed him wholeheartedly. I still ask him why he chose to accept me, after all my wrongs. My dear, there is a difference between religion and Christianity. I am a Christian (a follower of Christ ). But the truth is whether u believe or not, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT GOD EXISTS.

boss mi am begining to have a re-think bout the existence of God,when I ask some people how he manifest in my life,they would say its cause of him I breath nd its cause of his mercy am able to exist.well I told him this night to kill me if he is really pissed off with me,since he takes joy in killing nd making people sad.if 2nite he doesn't show himself to me even if its in a dream then he doesn't exist
I realise that when u kneel down nd pray u realise that u talking to urself
while I as an atheist may not be 100% correct about the absence or non existence of God but I'm 500% the Christian/Islam definition of God is false and I have over a 100 proof.



I asked myself, why should I thank someone for a help i didn't ask for?




Why thank him for creating me? It's not as if I was screaming for him to create me






So what's there to thank him for? For putting me in this crap world?

I do believe there is a God, power, force, creator, whatever you decide to call, him, her or it, mind you i am not a very religious person, not even been to church in months, but paying closer attention to our environment, the beauty of surise nd sunset, the trees nd flowers nd the important role they play, the birds, nd all other animals nd how they carry on their mundane existence without a care, the silence of the night, the beauty of the night sky lit up with stars nd moon, the oceans and its richness, the snow the rain, everything working in perfect harmony, everything interconnected, its almost as if everything on some level cant do without the other, try taking away the trees from the universe, or the seas or sun, even the sand, everything works in perfect harmony. How could there not be an ORIGINATOR, our major problem is our misunderstanding of the nature of God nd our relationship to him, many think he acts like some king and orders things on earth, an assumption i think is flawed, he has given us free will, we often misunderstand this concept, it means he hardly interferes,it is we who interfere nd change the course of events if we wish to, he only gives us the power to grant our wish, his wish for you is your wish for urself, ur wish for urself nd ur world comes from who you think you are nd what you are trying to do.Just as you have evil people responsible for the worlds destruction,darkness nd those who perpertuate evil in Gods name, so do you have people of light, who bring love, light, goodness and ease the suffering of others, these individuals conciously or unconciously are more evolved, its a question of who you think you are and who ur trying to be, many misunderstand who they are and r unable to connect to him because of numerous false teachings including from our so called religions, i think it is Gods will that we know who we truly are and the powers we posses nd work towards becoming that, in the highest form our soul which i believe is an extention of God is LOVE, nd the soul cannot experience itself as love until we show love to others, this is the process of becoming nd is just one example, i think Gods greatest wish is that we understand who we r nd our relationship to him in so doing experiencing ourselves as that by manifesting it here on earth, this i beleive is the soul work, the work of becoming... .. GOD , of becoming a life form of God here on earth nd spreading his light, love, abundance nd his grace nd easing the suffering of humanity. This is the true essence of free will, we may choose to become something order than what we are. Everything we do here on earth, career, friendships, everything is a tool with which we express who we are. This i believe is the purpose of all life. This may sound all esoteric nd all but with deeper nd broader study will make sense.

Twisted facts...it's possible for all religion to be wrong, but it's not possible for all to be right.... If not why do we criticize some practice. But only one wears the true nature of the truth.
The concept of God is like when you're born and told this is your father, did u ask for evidence or you just believed and it turned out to b true afterward...
Life's all about the choices we make
An accident that claim so many life can lead one to the truth and another away from it..... It's how you choose to react to it
