My brother, it's not a lie.. It's a real life story.. Anyway, my uncle, Mr Otito is the creator of the universe, and I believe Him.
What story? undecided
You claim you met with God, but all opened with is a claim that living a lie is better than living a life without a god over one. So, where is the story you speak of? undecided
How did you meet with God? How is your claim of meeting God any different from the claims of several 100s of millions out there who claim to have met God when instead what they found was religion instead? undecided

If you read your own post, then you should have no problem reposting the responses to my questions from within that same post you keep pointing back to.
Nothing in your post explains exactly what you claim. You claim to have met God, but there is no information in there that even supports this claim. Instead, we learn that like so many, you took to FAKING it...you somehow call that wisdom, but I don't see the wisdom in practising what over a billion people in today's world have done and continue to practice, religion.

What selfrespecting atheist does not know (and trash) Pascal's Wager? That's like Atheism 101.
Frankly, this thread disappoints so it's almost funny.

Is that a good enough reason to choose to live a lie of a life, pretending to know God?

You seem to be under the delusion that God honours a life lived in pretence. Where do you get this idea from? Care to provide bible reference of this?

God wants those who believe in Him to have knowledge of Him - their sacrifice and worship of Him are otherwise vain/worthless without that. If you do not KNOW Him, what good is living your life pretending to do so? Do you think He will have PITY on you and maybe lower His standards for you then? undecided
Ah brother you can't serve God in pretence. Go is not a man whom you can pretend to.

You didn't answer my question. When you die, (which h will happen very soon), and then discover that God indeed exists and you have to stand judgement before him, what will you do? Answer this.
How do you know I don't know Him? How did pretence even come in here?

You want to encourage yourself that everyone is like you lolzzzz

This is proof that you only serve your imaginary god because you're a scared little rat, scared of being thrown into an imaginary furnace no one has ever seen before.

Which God? You have to specify which one. Because there are thousands of gods. And each one has an equal chance of being the true one.

Until you specify the god I'll direct the question back at you in the mean time...

What if you actually died and discovered there's Odin? What will you do?

What if you actually died and discovered there's Allah? What will you do?

Just think of it.





The Pascal's wager seems like a good argument at plain sight for rookie religious apologists but falls ridiculously flat on it's face when logically examined.
I am talking about YHEH, the God of Israel. Have you ever heard of Him?
What I expected you to consider is shey Odin Na God? Whether or not it's a true God,but it's god nonetheless and has criteria for entering his kingdom. Do you believe there's an Afterlife at all?

You have to believe in Afterlife to believe in Valhalla. Do you?

You are uniformed son. You only know 3 thousand gods? The Hindu gods are more then three thousand nau. So do your research well. Don't be ignorant.

Boy, if I die and discover allah is the true God, first I won't be stupid like you. At least I believe in the Afterlife. Secondly, Allah's criteria for admission into his hewven is good deeds.
Question is, what are the good deeds he demands for? Going by my Christian standard, allah will be floored when he looks at my resume.


Isn't good deeds doing good to fellow humans according to God's specifications?
Allah won't have a choice but to let me in.

What will happen to you son? What happens when you die and see yourself standing before the gate of hell, a place you never believe existed? What will you do?

I will do what I fear will happen if vampires and other mythological characters and places are real.


Good thing you answered for the two gods. I guess you have analysed your chances of avoiding hell for the other 4000+ religions (and their gods) then? Lmaoo


Or did you just go with the ones your parents indoctrinated you into? I bet it's the latter. grin


Going by your twisted logic, If all Allah cares about is living a good life (which if true makes him already 100x better than your narcissistic yaveh who necessarily requires belief and worship) then atheists as well can make the Muslim heaven if they live a good life.

In fact that means for all religions (and gods) that only require one living a righteous life, atheists have equal chances as any other disbeliever of all such religions.

Atheists, may even have better chances because religious practices often contradict one another. And since atheists are free from religious rituals they are absolved of the risks of further pissing off the gods they don't worship. Ding!


See why Pascal's wager even eventually favors atheists. Try harder with your piss poor Christian apologetics.

And another free fact for you: Hindu gods run into millions but they are under one religion so we count them as one colloquially. To make it easier for you to understand, think of it as we count the trinity in christianity to be one god. Take all the time you need for that brainwashed white matter between your skulls to internalise that.

Then ponder upon how this "son" is schooling you. grin Double your hustle on those apologetic tactics.

Unfortunately, your parents neglected you hence you turned bitter and angry at a father figure you missed in your earthly father. Pele ndo.

See stupidity? The Hindu gods that runs into millions believe the same thing and practice the same thing g okwaya? Worisdis bikonu?
See how stupid you are? JESUS requires us Christians to do nothing, only accept an offer of eternal life is a narcissist, but the allah god who requires that you burn your Fingers to meet his expectations is better, and atheists who don't believe in the Afterlife will end up in his heaven? Boy, are you okay? Don't you think you shd check for bipolar syndrome?

Oh what the hell. These kids were told that when they become atheists their IQ will automatically increase above those of Christians, so.sorry, it didn't happen to this one here.

Thank you for being unable to justify your claims about me. I wonder how many more claims you just pulled out of your lying Christian ass too. grin You pathological bible bashing liar.

Before you get your lying dishonest ass out of the argument you lied to be in..I'll school you once more. Don't worry it's for free. grin

The Hindu gods have different preferences but as common with polytheism they have a supreme being called Brahma. So the other gods are still classified as one under Hinduism religion.

I know you wont understand that because the "holy" spirit has filled your head with lies. So let me dumb it down further for you. It's just like how sango, oya, ogun etc have been classified under the ATR in general discussion.

Congratulations for showing how religion continues to bring out the worst in people -being willfully ignorant and being pathological, unrepentant, shameless, dishonest lying puppets for their non-existent man made gods.

Let it be known that I will continue to bring up the unfortunate lies you told against me in this discussion in future encounters. You successfully ruined your own integrity. That's if you ever had one to begin with. You sonorous lying prick.

You should be, any sane person should be scared of being thrown into fire for 1minute even. However, that's not why people serve or believe in God. We do it because we have a living relationship with Him, because He saved us from sin and many other things, and because it is simply the best and sustainable way to live.

If you were truly an atheist, it'll take more than that to deconvert you into a theist.
