I reasoned this like a free thinker and discovered that Truth is the only thing that lasts. Why would a black man god be killing twins when there is nothing really wrong with having twins. Only the truth holds water...
which of the black Gods was killing twins, i heard of it too but its not very popular anymore, i will do research but waa it the Gods or the people that were doing it then.

Christianity means Christ lifestyle,Religion means doctrination-i will urge you to embrace Christ and exhibit his lifestyle,Religion is just chaff and wont add meaning to your life neither is it a license to heaven.Relationship with JESUS CHRIST is the sweetest thing that can ever happen to a man.

Well my own question is " who are the people of nod" where did they come from since God only created Adam and Eve.

God put a mark on Cain so that if anybody sees him they will not kill him. Who are these pple the bible is talking abt. Where did they come from. Where there pple habiting the earth bfor Adam and Eve?

The Bible’s answer
Cain, the eldest child of the first human couple, married one of his sisters or another close female relative. This conclusion may be drawn by considering what the Bible says about Cain and his family.

Facts about Cain and his family
All humans descended from Adam and Eve. God “made out of one man [Adam] every nation of men to dwell on the entire surface of the earth.” (Acts 17:26) Adam’s wife, Eve, became “the mother of everyone living.” (Genesis 3:​20) Therefore, Cain must have married a fellow descendant of Adam and Eve.
Cain and his brother Abel were the first of a number of children born to Eve. (Genesis 4:​1, 2) When Cain was banished for killing his brother, he complained: “Anyone who finds me will certainly kill me.” (Genesis 4:​14) Of whom was Cain afraid? The Bible says that Adam “became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) Evidently, these other descendants of Adam and Eve could have posed a threat to Cain.
Early in human history, marrying one’s relative was not uncommon. The faithful man Abraham, for example, married his half sister. (Genesis 20:12) The first prohibitions against such marriage appeared in the Mosaic Law, which was codified centuries after Cain’s day. (Leviticus 18:​9, 12, 13) It seems that children born to close relatives back then were not as prone to birth defects as they are today.
The Bible presents the account of Adam, Eve, and their family as accurate history. Detailed genealogies going back to Adam can be found not only in the book of Genesis, written by Moses, but also in the writings of the historians Ezra and Luke. (Genesis 5:​3-5; 1 Chronicles 1:​1-4; Luke 3:​38) Bible writers cite the story of Cain as a historical event.​—Hebrews 11:4; 1 John 3:​12; Jude 11.

Which religion is God grin

If u did not understand my previous answer to this question you are repeating, then you don't understand urself nor what you are asking.
Now let me still make it simpler to you.

I told you that God is a religion Himself.
What is religion?
In a most simplest definition; it is a belief and worship of a supreme being or a superhuman that is believed to have supreme power and control.
If I believe that XYZ is a superhuman that has supreme power and can answer to my need, then I start worshiping him and all sorts. I have formed a religion under XYZ. Then XYZ cannot be a member of that religion cos XYZ cannot worship himself. Another group of ppl somewhere else can still have the same feeling for XYZ and they will start worshiping hin in a different form, thereby forming another religion under XYZ.

I told you that God is a religion Himself cos He cannot worship Himself. Ppl form religion under His name.
Maybe you wanted to ask:
What is God's religion.
If that was ur question, I will answer you that God's religion is Love
Love for all mankind.
Let's not go into philosophy to avoid some confusion and diversion of thread.
So the question you asked: Which religion is God
And What is God's religion are two different questions.

With my personal Experience, Observation and inner conviction, I think I dont want to be part of any religion again. This thing is truely an opium of illusion meant for people who cant take their destiny in their hands and for a sheeple masses.

Despite withdrawing from religion I found myself even having a better moral compass which I cant explain. We are throwing away common sense, hardwork and universal principles to leave in illusion. At the end of my observation I have come to the conclusion that its what you do for yourself that counts more.

When I see poor people dying of hungry in a country which have the capacity to be the global industrial hub I know we have throw away common sense, Nigeria biggest investment to South Africa is Religious buildings (Church) while here in Nigeria the South Africans brought us MTN, DSTV, SHOP RITE e.t.c which employs thousands of people and gives profit to our Investors inventing in the stocks and shares of those companies I realise religion is lack of common sense.

No amount of religion can make you succesful without application of common sense.
No amount of religion can make your marriage succesful without application of common sense and consideration for your partner.
No amount of religion can a nation grow and prosper without application of common sense, productivity and good policies.

At the end of it I think am leaving religion, its not worth it. Even uprightness and moral comes from a person inner conviction and not because of religion.



In as much as you are absolutely correct.,. Don't be tempted not to believe in goodness of God

Bull crap baldadash. You know nothing kid. Instead of you to be fighting for an egalitarian society in which rule of law and good governance prevails, you're ranting about religion. Is religion the cause of poverty in Africa? Is religion responsible for the poor governance we have in Nigeria or Africa? Infact religion opposes the oppression of the masses as well stated in the holy books

Let me tell you, most of the highly developed countries we have today, their foundation are based on the tenents of bible principles. UK, US, France, Italy, Germany are where they're today be cause of their believe in religion. US was established by respectable men of God like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and other men of God. Today america motto is God bless america.
Even the greatest scientists the world ever had, many of them are from Christian backgrounds. Michael Faraday was a church organist, Isaac newton was a church chaplain, Robert Hook was a pastor, he helped built the Westminster abbey. Most of world inventions today are from Christian adherents. So be guided op. Religion has helped to bring morals,and discipline and not otherwise.
Fight for good leadership and governance and leave religion out of your misery.

What abt Russia and China?

You are just talking abt Christian forgetting that there are several other religions and even that Christianity you are talking about is divided into several denomination. Its so bad that pple from a certain church cant marry from another church.

Now I want to ask you a question? If your parent were not christian what are the chances that you wld be a christian today?
