Yadayada... You still havn't proven evolution to be true. Even some hare-brained atheists have pointed that out to you.

The way all these theist argue is funny. That is why I decide to ignore vooks and some other people.

Anyways wait and observe. Maybe one day u might evolve into iceman.

vooks:


I ignore ret@rds with utter contempt because they can't explain themselves.

Define EVOLUTION first and then give us evidence for this.

ValentineMary:
It seems u have not been ff my comments since. If u have you would have noticed that I defined it 3 times.

That was why I ignored you.

vooks:

I aksd you to define evolution before giving 'proof' for evolution and you haven't. Why should I give you airtime?

First of all, I will like to make it clear that I am a christian but I have become less religious. I was a strong christian when I came to Nairaland but I started losing some faith after spending about a year on the religion section. I still write about religion but I'm not as prolific as I used to be. http://allnaijablog.com/religion

Here are the things I believe causes people to lose faith in the religion section-


1) Excessive materialism;
Some Christians act as if God is Oprah Winfrey- a celebrity that just gives money and free gifts to adoring fans. Worshipping God is much more than reaping materialistic rewards. God does not owe you a government contract, a house or a sports car. So much time and testimonies are spend on preaching and praying for materialistic rewards that some people are turned off religion. What about the enrichment of the soul? The fruits of the spirits? Another dimension of this materialism is the worship of pastors' spending- when pastors buy luxury items (eg porche/ferrari), we see church members jumping and shouting. This brings me to my next point......


2) Worship of pastors instead of God
Some church members are slaves to their pastors. A man old enough to be the father of a young pastor, will be calling his pastor "daddy"! When pastors do wrong things, rather than correcting them, some of their church members on nairaland will be defending them. For instance, we have had people defending pastors who have slapped church members, pastors who have wasted money on luxury items and pastors who have told outright lies.


3) Christians arguing about things they don't know;
Many christians do not know their bible. Many christians do not understand science. This a huge problem on the religion section that atheists are happy to exploit. For instance, we see some christians arguing about evolution being false or claiming that Jesus was a rich man in the bible- both these things are false. Please, we should learn before we criticise


4) Badmouthing and blaspheming against other faiths;
Islam, atheism and paganism. None of the mentioned faiths or beliefs are devil worshipers but some christians treat them as such. Some people turn christianity into identity politics- just because someone is not a christian, they act as if christianity gives them the moral superiority.


5) Tithing;
While this is related to the materialism point, this deserves its own space. Tithing is one of the most single annoying thing that puts one off religion. God does not need a percentage of your money. Why ten percent? Is God now a numerologist? Why not 11 or 25 percent? why is it exactly 10 percent? The tithing issue has become so polarizing that it has caused a great division within christianity.
I personally do not mind giving offering to a church but two conditions must be adherred to- first is to understand that the money is going to the church (and not God) and secondly, it should never be forced on me or anyone. I prefer to give out of my heart than to give a forced percentage.

Hmmm............ Evolution is a fact but we do not live by facts we live by the truth which is the word of God, if you want to live by facts then it means you must believe that God doesn't exist. The Bible says we walk not by sight but by faith. I do not believe in evolution. Secondly as much as I am against Christians being rude to other religions, I must also clearly state that only by one means can men receive salvation and it is by accepting the Son of God. Christ said I am THE WAY(not a way). I boldly state that any other way apart from, Christ was orchestrated by the devil.
Thirdly we do not worship men of God, we honor the grace of God upon their lives, the Bible says that without controversy the lesser is blessed of the greater. And finally tithing is not by force, tithing is not to bless the God of the universe. I can't explain on tithing here as it is a complex topic but I pray that you will come into the understanding of the revelation of God's word. You lack revelation and conviction, you still see Christianity as a religion, an obligation. But it is far from it
