Ignore that one. He is angry at everything both living and dead, sensible and nonsensical. He is even angry at the air you breath simply because you breath it same way he does. They abhor truth and it shouldn't be a wonder why.

You keep on saying I am angry... I really dont know how u come about that. I am not angry at anything biko, stop spreading false information to make urself feel good

Oga, get scammed, eat grass, drink petrol, call ur fellow human a man of God, give him all ur money, mumble ro urself and say the creator has forgiven ur sins, it's really ur baggage.

The bottom line is, he didnt really have to believe in hell to make sarcastic statements about it...at least reset ur brain when talkin to atheists.

Whether you believe it or not, whether you fear it ir not, if you die without Christ, Oga, you go burn for Hellfire.

Keep telling yourself that it's all a lie and die first.

You know how i know? Look at Jerusalem. You don't need to believe God. Pls don't believe those who believe are here, but every bit of prophecy about Jerusalem has come to pass, is still coming to pass as we speak. Ezekiel 38 is about to come to pass now. Look at the UN turning against a people they shd protect. It's prophectic. Just watch and see.


Oga, shout, scream, kill people who believe, call them sheep or stupid. When the time comes for you to die, you will die. Just like you couldn't control how you got here. God choose your race, tribe, gender, skin colour,parentage, siblings. You had no hand in any of that, that's how you also will have no hand in the day and manner which you'd die. All in His control.

He who brought you here determined all of that, He says you choose where to be after you die, or esle you'd end in Hellfire, good a thing you have chosen Hellfire, so shall it be for you.

Repent now and escape hellfire or die and burn.

Shalom.

you are saying a different thing bro... I am not sure u read my comment or if u are following.

your replied to the op was "hope u are getting their tricks now" and I am trying to let you see the hypocrisy in the op's response. Now your reply is a totally different thing, are are u responding to another person and mistakenly quoted me?
If you wanted to know the thruth I have provide five link s on the issue. Am not interested in using names to justify my claim. I use bunch of evidence.


My reply still stand, the guy give name and he wanted budaa to adress the whole issue. Not just address one side and live the rest. Most of the atheist today are in one way religious before they settle for atheism. Pls am not interested about this name of a thing argument. No postmortem has ever link the cause of any death to atheism.... It is either depression and over worried which is associated to their way of life..... Religious folks also experience these but it is very minimal when you compare it to the atheist.....

well I didnt read about it myself. That is why we should be careful about the information we bring to the table.

the point i was trying to note is that, it has been proven that he did not kill himself because he was an atheist. You are calm, I expect you to be honest. You brought him up because you think he died because he was an atheist but it has been proven that he had defects and also family history.
Oh! He died because of d family defects? No, he killed himself because he felt no need to live on as he got confused about d worth of life.
Can we just drop this already. It is OBVIOUS that atheism can easily lead to suicidal thoughts cos it makes pple value life less. It doesn't say anything at all abt atheist being bad or any of such at all. So y d fuss?

You mean it is wrong to Blame it on atheism same way this vocal atheist did?

Depression is a serious problem within the greater atheist community and far too often, that depression has led to suicide. This is something many of my fellow atheists often don’t like to admit, but it is true. I know a lot of atheists, myself included, would all like to believe that atheists are happier people than religious believers and in many ways we are. But we also have to accept the reality that in some very important ways we are not.

did you even read budaatum's post on hemingway's family history and biological defects?

well every suicidal person kills themselves because of a sort of depression. I know a family friend(lady) who became totally depressed after dedicating her life worship to yahweh but was way above 45years and not suitor... he depression is not because she was a christian, it was because she celibate at over 45. this is how i want u to think.
my only issue with her (and that is my issues with most theists) is that she relied on an invisible non existent being for her progress in life.

butterflylion, whats really biting you... its not my fault that Yahweh left you all alone to fight for him and prove his existence. I maintain that Yahweh is nonexistent. if you think this makes me angry, then I can not help you.

I know u are always fast to quote statements and use them to judge. but go back and read the statement by an atheist u quoted... read is carefully and slowly for understanding sake.

in summery he is just saying that atheists can also be depressed and suicidal like any other person. Isnt that just the reality of life? isnt that what i am saying? ANYBODY CAN BE SUICIDAL atheists are not left out.

Do i not said that earlier, depression is a normal reaction to loss or life struggles. But when intense sadness -- including feeling helpless, hopeless, and worthless -- lasts longer it become unbearable and may lead to suicide. Since many religious are trainned to keep on hoping through prayer and counselling from their member, priest and clergy men. They tend to overcome the situation far better than non religious folks. Who rely mostly on his mental decision. Hopes that answer you question. Pls visit the links to learn more about the subject.

I am a psychology graduate and so knows so much about depression.
But at times like this i expect you to give atheists credit.
People dont become atheist out of indoctrination. It is a decision they make after thinking through what they have been thought. after asking question and finding no answers.
They are bold enough to call God (a name that brings every theist to his knee) bullshit. it takes a large amount of self will and trust to do this. We call God a bluff and tell ourselves we can handle life on our own... thats self belief and inner strength. how dare u associate such boldness with suicide?

but at the end of the day we are humans. everyone has his threshold and breaking point. Dont just point accusing fingers when we break like everyone does.
If you understand that theists who claim to have a God they run to in times of despair can be suicidal, you should also understand that atheists who claim to have themselves for survival can also be suicidal.

Obsession is written all over you. Where and when did I mention Yahweh when talking to you yet you just could not resist bringing up what you claim does not exist grin

This must be very depressing to carry about a burden such as Yahweh on your head even when nobody mentioned him or gave it to you to carry cheesy
