MUST READ!! How I Figured Out Christianity Is Not Real by TheEminentLaity: 9:25am On Feb 24, 2017 |
I found this beautifully -Oh! my vocabulary fails me- written article that I would like to share. Being a journeying christian myself that recently denounced and renounced fundamentalism (It's in the 'holy book' therefore it is fact/true), increasing becoming appalled by pentecostalism and many evangelicals (Of course, if they knew better they would be different key word: knowledge Prov 4:7; 15:4) and the intellectual docility it appears to encourage in our society, I was struck by almost every paragraph of the article. While it is not enough to move me into atheism, or make me less of an adherent of orthodox spirituality but it challenges every reader to think especially as Africans. Food for thought: How did an omniscient, omnipresent and loving God that created everyone equally 'forget' to include anything about slavery and genocide in his commandments? Perhaps he considered blacks as lesser humans or he was simply created in the minds of people who saw all the good in slavery and even genocide. https://www.nairaland.com/3647975/journey-out-christianity-michael-runyan http://new.exchristian.net/2013/11/how-i-figured-out-christianity-is-not.html My advice to Bible and God defenders let God and the Bible defend themselves, it is not your duty. History tells of countless horrors perpetrated by God and 'Holy' book defenders. If you want to know about history of the world, read books on history; about man and animals and their sexuality read books on Biology; about money, read books on Finance; about life on earth...; anything other than spirituality that you look for in these 'holy' books would most likely turn you into a narcissist that would see nothing wrong or even good in misfortunes of other human beings that are non-adherents of your religion.

Asking them to let God defend Himself... Against what and who?... You? Laughable! Your point is as stale as 3 days agege bread. And you guys need to stop acting like you love the world that much just so that you can have something to criticize about God. I really don't like being in these kinds of threads, cos I know you guys are relentless in making up unnecessary arguments to prove yourselves.. Lemme stop for now. God bless 1 Like 1 Share |

TheEminentLaity: I don't have time to read it. I know the reasons are sensible in your sight but foolishness to God. You wanted to try and understand God but it won't work because He is exalted far above our knowledge. As to why He did this or that, you can't and will never know why ?? ... If this is the reason why you are leaving Christianity .. no p .. good luck in your new faith. Forever Christian Jesus Is Lord |

I opened this thread to encourage thinking, such that is characteristic of higher education students and graduates but it appears the aim is being defeated. Comments by people who obviously know nothing about history of the human race, black people/africans, slavery and the religion they follow. I am still a christian for many reasons, perhaps you missed that part. When you seek knowledge, you will find many facts that contradict religious stories, not just in the Bible. Take my advice you would be better for it. God bless you. lionlamb020: |

One thing I have come to realise about fear is that is becomes increasingly less potent with growing knowledge. All through history, mankind have feared what they didn't understand and turned to the divine whenever helpless. Earthquakes would have been called act of god in retribution against sinful nations. More recently, HIV was even tagged as God's retribution on homosexuals by evangelicals. Perhaps what was described in Sodom and Gomorrah (no historical evidence) could be likened to the Tsunami in 2004...If people didn't know better, I bet the christians would have said God struck them because they had a negligible percentage of christian worshippers. I could go on and on. God conveniently fills the gap of ignorance and fear sustains it. I suspect you know little about piety, spirituality or christian theology. So you, the young man need to learn and acquire knowledge before you can be sure of what is and what isn't a lie. The devil is within your fears and keeping you bound. felixomor: 1 Like |

You seem to have a cult mentality of 'us vs. them' so because I am a Christian I should not share articles I find interesting or I should not differentiate facts from bible stories that at best should be allegorical in reading. The original post is about an article that I provided a link to...I only gave somewhat a review. The title is that of the article as well. I still consider myself an orthodox Christian in spirituality but no longer a fundamentalist. I won't brand you a sinner, gentile, consider you anathema or any other derogatory term just because it is written in the Bible. I won't try to 'save' you from hell neither would I laugh at your misfortune or wish harm upon anyone even my enemy want death for homosexuals because 'the bible says'. Just because 'the Bible says' the world was created in 7 days and Adam and Eve were the first humans doesn't mean it is fact because it isn't. For spirituality and theology those texts possibly serve a purpose for understanding spiritual essence but not history nor geology nor geography. Coloured people were the first on earth. It is ridiculous to think the earth is 7,000 years old or Noah's flood actually happened. Hope you get the picture. Read the article, it's brilliant and he was also a christian. lionlamb020: |

felixomor:In the modern society of today, and not in the primitive mental sphere of most Christians, what can be most despicable and corrupt behavior than; * Christian leaders using the fraudulently collected offerings and tithes, to gratify their obscene opulence. *Bishops selling fetish materials as "supernatural gadgets", that can protect against normal painful experiences. * prophets selling illusionary "divine healing", while they escape to the west for better medicare. * Church leaders colluding with rogues to perpetuate corruption in Nigeria. All the charades of the Christian groups, have never been this odious. 2 Likes |
