I don't think Christians really read the bible. Because if they really do, they will understand the shallowness of religion as a whole. The Pentateuch alone will lay bare everything you need to know about the shallowness of religion. I wonder why people don't see it.

many christians read the bible cover to cover every year and havnt reached this conlussion.

I doubt that, Asalimpo. Just read the first chapter of Genesis. The first chapter alone. Try to read it critically. Let's start from there.

To become a good christian you must know how to manipulate questions. Christians are the biggest liars in the world. they will make promises and they use god as an excuse to break them.

I was at the barber's yesterday evening when a discusion on how Nigeria was able to contain Ebola and Europe can't at the moment. A christian idiot could not wait to claim " God did it" I was like,are you serious! You mean Ebola is here to test people's faith? What a retard!

"And the spirit of the lord hovered over the waters" That statement alone showed the christian god used a spaceship.

Why are atheist always bitter, and filled with anger? If you don't believe in God why always talk about Him? You don't worship God but u worship the white man, how are u sure all they say about evolution or whatever is true?

Lmao......... cheesy
Where did u get ur own idea that atheists worship white men?
And how do u know everyone on this religion section are Africans? The last time I checked only 62% of nairalanders are Nigerians, the rest are non Africans.
The reason why we talk about him is because we are trying to let people know the truth.
It's just like medical doctors who visit a village that believe smearing excreta on their eyes can cure flu,the doctors are not obsessed about the excreta They are only concerned about those who believe in excreta powers,same with atheists, we are not obsessed about God,we are just concerned about those who believe in God's power.

People like you don't understand what atheism is all about. And that is why you will always equate atheism with belief in evolution. That's very very wrong, Havillah dear.

Many atheists do not believe in evolution, take note of this fact. And secondly, many christians believe in evolution (check out "Thesitic Evolution"wink.

And I've never seen an atheist who is bitter. Conversely, it is the religious people who are always bitter and who try to do everything in their power to persecute people who are not of the same religious persuasion as they are (check out the history of religious persecutions in whole story of man's existence on earth).

I don't understand how someone who humbles himself/herself to know more about God through His Word(the Bible) still do not seem to understand undecided.

God does not need the christians to prove He is God.Maybe you should try being subtle and less challenging you know like someone who really wants to know.We are humans and don't have all the answers,no one does.We are still learning and have our doubts sometimes atleast I do.The beautiful thing is to rise above it all.

God will locate whoever truelly seeks Him!

It's all in the Bible.
What is the foundation of the world in Isaiah 24:18,john 17:24,psalm 104:5,Isaiah 48:13,psalm 18:15? And other numerous verses Where it was mentioned.

What is the pillars of the earth in 1samuel 2:5,job 9:6

How did Satan show Jesus all the kingdom of the Iworld even at the highest mountain? IBecause the earth is flat?


How did God spread out the earth in psalm 136:6,Isaiah 44:24? The last time I checked It's only something flat that can be spread,u can spread out pan cake,But u can't spread out meat balls.

Where are the two ends of the earth in deut 28:64,33:17,job28:24? Isaiah 41:9?

Where are the corners of the earth in job 37:3?

Why is Yahweh sky hard as molten mirror in job 37:18?

Why is the sun moving in psalm 19:4-6

How come stars can fall from the sky? Wow the sky is hard and the stars are simply hanging! Wonderful!!!!!! Matthew 24:29,mark 13:25,revelations 6:13

Read all those verses to confirm all that have said,Yahweh the acclaimed Creator of heaven and earth has no idea of earth movement, shape,interaction, no idea about the sky,no idea about the sun stability,Wow!!!! He Really is the Creator,don't you think?

I must first start by apologising for replying quite late.We exchanged thoughts till about 11:30pm last night and I still needed to be at work for 7:30 am today.Just got home now ergo I can reply.

I went through.the.bibilical quotes you posted but it seems as if you have misinterpreted many of them, e.g If I am an employer and I am in dire need of a certain geek who for some reason is not available in Nigeria, I can say to my HR dept: "Get me that guru.I don't mind even if you have to travel to the ends of the earth to get him".........This does not mean I believe the earth is cornered or flat etc like you have stated.
Hope you understand?

No bro that's not the only one.Infact they all sound a bit similar to me and that was why I decided to sight just one example.
Ofcourse I could I could go on and say a man like yourself is one of the strongest "pillars" in your family. Or I could say there's no "pillar" greater than the head of the family even the ones that hold the greatest buildings and bridges.
You will still interprete me correctly so I beg you to understand the depth of these words and not just their superficial meanings.

What about the hard sky with stars hanging from it? How about seeing all the kingdoms of the world from a mountain? What deep meanings do those words have?

..........
Talking about your qoute about the sky in the book of Job that was Elihu speaking and he was just trying to paint a picture of how great GOD is for Job to see.You yourself have probably said to your woman before :" I'd love you till the end of time" but that doesn't mean you can see the future.At that moment you were only trying to paint a mental picture for her to see how much you love her.
And to the verse you quoted in Matthew......That was just a way of saying on that day there will be no stars in the sky,it doesn't necessarily mean that the writer was saying stars were being hung up in the air.

When you say designed you make it sound like God made us without a mind of our own.The point you're missing is that you chose to be an atheist.

He is all knowing.He planned a bright future,a happy ending but all this is not devoid of bad happenings(all that we're seeing today) by His grace we overcome.always will smiley

That is NOT what I'm saying. I'm saying that he is the designer of our MINDS. Where did our minds come from if it wasn't also designed like the rest of everything?

He's an omniscient MIND designer.

My decision to be an atheist is, by principle, a product of my designed mind.

Does that make sense to you?

Yes He is the initial designer of our minds.Whatever happpened to each and every individual along the way and how they handled it is what I can't explain.

Ok But u ignored one part. How did the devil show Jesus all the kingdoms of the world from the highest top of the mountain. From the shape of the earth Which I know,no matter how tall a mountain could be,it is not possible to see all the kingdoms of the world unless the earth was flat.........If everything is symbolic why does everything indicate that the world is flat? Why such improbable coincidence? I get ur point that They might be used symbolically, But What I don't understand is why every prove is indicating the world is flat?

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of
them;9 And saith unto him, All these things will
I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

I am always proud of this part when I read it because it reminds me that if the devil was bold enough to confront Jesus with such temptations then he'll most certainly tempt anyone with anything he considers attractive and I should brace myself to avoid falling but unlike me when you read it what you see is weaknesses in the scripture.

Like i said earlier it all depends on what you chose to see and believe.

It's bigger than ur comprehension to grasp,not mine. So If It's too difficult for u to understand, u can drop it,I heard too much thinking can cause brain tumour.
I repeat,If God saw What freewill would cause(that is the evil that we all see around) and still goes ahead to give us freewill,then he is to blame because he already knows But still went ahead,So It's his fault.

Ok then. We don't see things the same way.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A BOOK FROM AN OMNI-EVERYTHING, THE ACCLAIMED CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,A PERFECT BEING,
I don't expect ANY single mistake,the Bible MUST be perfect,If the author claims to be perfect!!!!

PERFECTION must be scrutinized thoroughly.

Hehehe this is funny, though I didn't read from the beginning but if this post is anything to go by, I will only say, it is worth knowing that freewill is not synonymous with evil. It is just the ability to chose between two or more things, we may argue that freewill is the reason why man fall but I will also say, had God not created us with freewill, he only created robots.

The good aspect of the freewill God gave to us is, it gives both we and him the joy and confidence of knowing that we love and serve God today, not because we have no other option or can't do otherwise like robots that can't go beyond what they are programmed to do, but because we willing chose out of the freewill he gave to us, to love and serve him.
