Pls, why is it that you atheists are fund of attacking Christian threads and insulting christians?
You guys can open your own threads and try to make religious people see more reasons why they should join your belief in a more kind and compelling way

That's what I'm talking about. You saw my post as an insult and told me to leave the thread, instead of proving me wrong! If your religion is so great, wonderful and true, why not convince me? But you would rather push me away.

It's not an attack when someone sees you doing something wrong and tries to discourage you from it.

We are in 2016 not 1890
Christians can be so foolish sometimes

What does internet addiction have to do with being a christian ??
You shouldn't also be addicted to bible or prayers if you consider internet addiction a sin
That's why some of you are so dumb
Christians are so dumb i swear, they will say drinking alcohol is a sin but i do remember when i was in the seminary school, the wine we use in holy communion contains 30% alcohol



Serving you with 30% of alcohol in seminary as communion doesn't constitute a standard for Christianity, biko wake up and desist from heresy. The internet as wonderful it is has misled a million of people through addiction regardless of religion.

I don't mean to offend anyone when I say the truth. But religious people always deem any opposition to their belief as offensive.

Read the link I gave you. You will learn that your god doesn't exist. The link will change your life and free you from religious bondage.

If you truly believe in your religion, why not at least, read the link and prove the content wrong?

Everyday day, people in Africa...especially the once in Nigeria keep believing in the religions brought by our slave masters, i am provoked, for they believe not out of faith but out of ignorance.
We abandone our own Gods and embraced those of our slavers. Our forefathers would keep cursing us, mayb its their curse thats keep Africa in darkness and poverty

Addiction is “to occupy (oneself) with or involve (oneself) in something habitually or compulsively.” This speaks of an unnatural (for the Christian, at least) obsession with anything other than God: sports, work, shopping and/or acquiring “stuff,” even family or children. We are to “love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:5), which is, according to Jesus, the first and greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37-38). We can conclude, then, that an addiction to anything other than God Himself is wrong.

God is the only thing we can (and should) occupy ourselves with habitually. To do so with anything else draws us away from Him and displeases Him. He alone is worthy of our complete attention, love, and service. To offer these things to anything or anyone else is idolatry.

As important as internet is to us today, the Internet is also in danger of turning us all into addicts. Time spent online continues to rise among every segment of the world's population, and becomes more natural to each emerging generation. We're hyper-connected, playing our games, sharing our baby photos and watching TV together in collaborative ways that were unimaginable 30 years ago. Thanks to smartphones we check our social media accounts regularly – and in some cases constantly. Their use has become habitual, rewarding, and incredibly hard to give up.

Addictions are a very real issue, but they are not impossible to overcome with the help of God and God's people. Scripture offers much encouragement regarding the reality of addiction, God's power to fight addiction, the importance of other believers to help, and the strength of God's Spirit for the believer who seeks to fight against addictive struggles.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.



The bible never said you should be occupied with God. Read the parable of 10 minas in Luke 19 vs 13 to see what they were told to occupy with.

Fore fathers my foot. Our fore fathers are the reasons for our pains and suffering today.
Where were they day when other nations were making advancements, economic progress and all manners of developments? They were busy killing twins and sacrificing virgins to appease the gods or dancing naked before a log of wood.

That is not enough reason to harass or intimidate religious people. Are you trying to tell us that religion has not brought any good at all? How much charity have you atheists raised to better the lives of suffering people in the world? But religious groups have offered the greatest charity since mankind. That is just one of the numerous benefits that religion has offered.

How do you know the link contains what you've read countless times, if you haven't read it yet? You see what I'm talking about? You just lied. Religion brainwash you people not question or challenge it in any way or form! Anything that stops you from asking questions or investigating it is a scam!!

If your religion is so great and true, why does it stop you from having an open-mind to ask questions? Religion 'dumbs' down people so that they can't be rational in their thinking, because a rational thinking person always finds out the truth about anything. That's the truth!

I was born in a religious family, I studied in a religious school (seminary) and would have become an archbishop by now if I had followed through my father's wish. So I know what the hell I'm talking about because I know the bible like the back of my hand!

You don't need to have the same thought as the writer to read what opposes the existence of your god. Did you have the same thought with writers of all the books you've read in in your life? By the way, why would I give you a link to a writer who has your thought? You see? You don't make sense!

The writer presented his proofs with quotes from christian bible, which I guess is also your bible. Take your time to read it and tell me the places you disagree, then we discuss them.

And you are there thinking ignorantly that if I read it will convince me? I'm too rooted guy.

Lets just stop the argument because I am not a type that engage people in argument sir. Since you weren't able to answer my simple question of what pains that much with one's believe for you to go as far as labeling the entire religion of about billions population fools. Bye and may we live to see our CREATOR ONE DAY.

Someone who worships an imaginary god in the sky and can't even defend his belief, says I think ignorantly. LOL
You're either a comedian or your're totally out of touch with with reality! It's a pity what religion could do someone.

I stand firmly by my statement that religious people are bunch of fools, they're confused and absolutely irrational in their thought. You didn't prove me otherwise. Did you?
