Can you blame us?
The fear of God is the basis of our humanity.
Once anyone denies that fear, he seems liable to all inhumanity.

Of course this is just a heightened fear that in most cases is unfounded but truly in the wrong hands, atheists can be very dangerous.

One who stands for nothing, will certainly fall for anything. It's just a matter of time and desperation.

MJBOLT:

dangerous in what way?

HardGuyHardGuy:


I think the fear of the law of your country should be the basis of your living, not the fear of an imaginary god.
Besides, religious people happen to be the most dangerous set of people. Many of them are the ritual killers, they steal pants, pastors doing all sort of ritual killings to get more members and all sort of bad things to gain wealth spiritually. Atheists don't do these because we don't believe in them.

pressplay411:


First, one of the most precious things is a human mind.
Wnen anyone's mind is exposed to wrong knowledge and philosophies, it is susceptible to dangers. Hence anyone who comes in contact with an atheist's belief system is at risk.
That is how an atheist became an atheist in the first place, through exposure to questionable knowledge.

Second, an atheist is unpredictable. Thus can be good or dangerous.

An atheist can justify any evil or sin because nothing is necessarily evil or sin to him.

This is not to say an atheist is not conscientious. But his conscience is built on his own idea of his ideals. Thank God for societal laws which could prevent him from being unrestrained.

pressplay411:


Thank God for country's constitutional Laws helping to maintain some level of decency and sanity.
But then, who decides your country's laws?
What is legal in your country might be illegal in another country. Doesnt that mean your ideals are transient?
Today you support gay rights, tomorrow you're anti-gay just because human laws govern you.

Which is why Constitutional (Human) laws are not dependable as much as God's laws.

I'm sure atheists don't act this way because if we are like this, I'm sure Seun won't employ religious people and many atheist company owners won't employ religious people, all we care about is the quality of your service.

they are also terrorists,9/11 and oklahoma city bombing comes to mind

The same societal laws restrain theists too..
Morally and otherwise, we ain't doing better than those countries with far less religious/atheists citizens..
Most theists arw hypocrites..

juanomowa:


You can't blame them. It's what religion, society built into them. They will say, "It's either you be for God or you be for Satan". Fools that they all are.

I would only you keep your beliefs to yourself, else they tag you Satan. If there is something wrong around your working place, you will be the first suspect. They will say the unbeliever among them is bringing bad luck or judgement, etc

Me for example, I don't believe in anything but I do my findings, I know there is a Mystery, His name unknown, but they titled Him as God. So when I'm asked about my religion and I said I have no religion, nor share any belief or faith, but I believe in whom they call God. They look at me like they're staring at death.

Some even question me, why I believe in God, Jesus... I'd answered them I have been out of this plane, explore other planets, I have met beings called Angels, Demons, other gods, and from them I learnt that there is a greater God, whose all other gods bow to. So ever since then I do say I serve the Grand God, not the God of religion or any belief or human tradition.

So ignore them and whatever they say or whichever way they look at you.

Peace.

juanomowa:


You think? Which mean it is your thoughts, it isn't what I am.

I'm saying I don't worship religion nor any Human tradition. The Mystery Who populated the Universe has no religion ànd He didnt set any, it was all Human ideas. Jesus, didn't come to lay down a religion.

It was His apostles who wanted to be separated from the Jew, who killed their Master; so they changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, changed many things just to differentiate a Jew and a Christian.

spongeisback:
This is what religion does to the mind of its adherents. You would see someone doing good and they would say "it's because of God am doing this oh" they don't believe humans can be good without any reward or gain.

pressplay411:


Most theists are truly hypocrites.
On that we agree.
That's why it's not about the laws but the state of your own heart.

Both theists and atheists flout laws.
But once one is truly saved and fears God, he lives in love.
Love (as taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ) makes you something else.
You no longer need laws to avoid evil.
You certainly no longer need laws to do good.

The whole of the gospel of Christ is to enmesh Love into human nature. It's to make a human being overcome things that control him and make him susceptible to do wrong.
If you will be honest there are things you want to stop, things you hate to do, but you find yourself unable to stop.
This is really what laws expose. Our lack of self control.

God helps us all.

HardGuyHardGuy:


One does not need your jesus to show love, it is a personal thing bro.
Do you even know how many pastors fight over supremacy, how many church members fight each other. So much hatred over people of other religion or belief system.
Bro please have a rethink.

pressplay411:


Don't look at people as your standard. Everyone has his weakness. But look on to Christ.
I know where I was, the things I had no control over.
But today, I can't believe my level of self-control, all thanks to the Grace that works in me.

HardGuyHardGuy:


It is not grace bro, you did it yourself
There are a lot of Christians who still don't have that self control

pressplay411:


That's the mystery and paradox of Godliness.
It always looks like we're doing it ourselves. But it is God in us, working through us.

I used to wonder why Christians did that, attributing what they did to God.
Today, I truly am humbled to do the same.
All of the Glory truly belongs to Him. It is a dangerous mistake to take God's glory.

Like I always say, you can't explain Christianity adeqiately. Christ can only be experienced personally.
Truth is, you can't appreciate God until you need Him.
I had to come to the point of realising my emptiness, loss and wild goose chase without God before I could humble myself to try Him and submit to Him.

My life turnt 180 ever since.

HardGuyHardGuy:


Did you even bother to check the meaning of deism?

HardGuyHardGuy:


Only when good things (most are normal things) happen, you give the credit to your god, but when something bad happens even after you prayed, you'll start giving filthy excuses.

A typical religionist.
