i dont see the reason for arguments in here. . . .its a very simple thing, even the so called scientists conclude a superior force governs all that which is now. . . .they stopped short of calling him God. . a man may choose what or who he wants to believe in/ i have never seen God before, not sure i want to yet sef. . . .but without a doubt i have felt him,via serious faith sef. . . .before y'll say i am a spirit koko, i havent gone to church in years spend most weekdns recovering from hangover etc. . . . . . .but God sha exists lemmie challenge the people who claim he doesnt, without mockery, have a quiet time and then speak to God(or yourself since you think he doesnt exist) challenge him to prove to you he exists, tell him you want to know . . . and i bet that if you want to know so bad and you do the above, you will get the answer to this question 1 Like |

Its expected. Religion is dynamic. Christianity is sheer radical/reformed judaism. Islam reared its head in the 7th century. Martin Luther revolted, The Church of England decamped. In the 19th & 20th centuries, the Jehovah's witnesses and Mormons sprang up. Not to mention Buddha, Hindu, Shinto, e.t.c... All claim to be the 'truth' . The rule is BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANNA BELIEVE cos as far as i'm concerned we all are searching for the truth while wallowing in ignorance! Converting to Islam does not guarantee u will be like Dangote. Switchin churches doesn't solve $hit! Cos in the next couple of centuries, other religious movements will evolve as well. |

damn....i don't just know where to start this argument with these theists here.they seem to be way below average theists you meet in the academic world.first as an atheist,i hold the view that god does not exist and that the universe came into existence about 13.7billion years ago.the only argument theists are holding onto these days is that of 'why is there something rather than nothing' and it has been proven that this question is a fallacy of stolen concept.nothing has no meaning,nothing is unstable,nothing is just a misfiring concept. if you would like to know more,just ask google and stop reducing this kind of argument to unintelligent discourse.most theists here make use of scientifically invented gadgets i.e phones,cars,plane,electricity,tv,radio etc...am off,am kinda busy...... |

What force are you talking about? Gravity? ariblaze: Are you sure about that? Can you choose to believe that tomorrow, the earth will stop spinning? ariblaze: Which God are you talking about? Bacchus? ariblaze: When people used to believe, he didn't answer is it now that he will respond? Here is a simple test you can perform. Ask him for what my age is to the nearest month and see if you'll get a response. |

dalaman: There seems to be many atheist and agnostic present here these days. The question is simple, I want the atheist and agnostics to state their reasons for not believing in God/Religion. Not enough evidence. |

If white people truely think that christianity is a way to heaven, then they would never allow black people to become christians. The fact that white people want every blackman to become a christian, that is enough reason for me to keep away from christianity. 1 Like |

ariblaze: [/color] Don't you realize that your so called test is no better than asking me to do that and see if there are faeries? I have checked and do not believe in your God. If you believe in your God, then ask him to perform his magic. |

kay10: I do try to believe in God however what of ufo that is in another planet,who created them?Can we say it was God that created them.The reason i m so particular about this issue is because it written in the bible how God created earth.It has now be proved that we never live alone.There are a lot ufo that visit moon occasionally for mineral drilling.How are they created?I need someone to convince me that it was God that created them.Sorry for your shortsightedness. Is this the reason why you dont belive in God. Ignorance wallowing in self pity. Cant the UFO visit the earth to further prove your ignorance...Embrace God and leave scientific delusion alone |

Okija_juju: I dont believe in a God I cant hear, see nor talk to yet he demands I worship him everydayBy the time you will be languishing and agonizing in a pit ball of flame,dont beg me for droplets of water...accept christ now |

I'm an atheist because the God concept is a badly defined one, one constructed not exist. Abrahamic religions don't make any sense. They all preach fantasy. And miracles?! C'mon! Miracles are impossible Apostle Paul summed it up; that Christians are fools. Reason and logic are things religion is not happy with. Higher powers are the sun, gravity, power of an atom, nature. God??! What's that?? As long as there are no talking donkeys or tortoise, there is no God. |

asoderock: I think it is the theists who should prove why they believe in God. The burden of proof lie on the one who believes something exist.Becos God is the maker of heaven and earth. |

It seems for a Christian FACT that GOD exists, he just does not GAF! about Christians or the Rest of the World. Theists simply try to sustain a dead/dying control mechanism that has lost its social value with the coming of knowledge, sadly they convieniently forget that Jesus (a closet atheist) predicted the coming of knowledge and the death of the Christian Church.. but hey most men have always been genetically rtarded anyways  |

I'm a christian. I can back this up with my personal experience and bible verses but come-to-think-of-it, if GOD doesnt exist, there wouldnt have been a name called GOD. Do you believe in ILLUSIONS? That there is something called ILLUSION. Illusions exist, right? But GOD doesnt. **giggles** Evidences are numerous! The world has lost GOD in the wonders of the world- A.W Tozer. |

Sir, pls permit me to react to the bold statements above: You spoke solemnly as if you were there when the world came into existence. Can you prove you were there? information on google are they not put up by people like me and you? what makes you think those info are authentically logical? some are edited to give credence to individual theories and proposals. I dont rely on google info as a panacea |

@ fehemmy: do your research b4 u start ranting. The most religious countries in the world (except US and Italy) are the least developed. I'm not saying i don't belive in God. I do. But like sm1 righlty said, we need to embrance more spirituality than religion |

I believe in God and i follow the dictates of my religion without infringing on the rights of others to freedom of thought,conscience and religion.my belief is not in any way subject to the philosophy and interpretation of any spiritual scavenger.the problem with nigerians is that poverty has bastardized their psyche and make them gullible to anything under the guise of spirituality.indeed there are many more atheists than those who profess it.many self aclaimed spiritual leaders and their followers are atheists.you will always hear them discuss prosperity and how to make money without sweat without any reference to how to make heaven. |

This is my understand of life so far: Their are three persons in One God and One God in three persons (the word "One" use to describe the trinity is the hebrew word Echod -means composite unity not solitary unity) 1. The Father 2. The Son (the word "Son" means the exact representation of the Father or a manifestation of God to man) 3. The Holy Spirit Their are three aspects of man 1. spirit 2. soul --> (1.Mind 2.Emotion 3.Will) 3. body Their are three realms in life 1. The Spiritual --> explored by faith 2. The Rational --> explored by intellectualizing (i don't subscribe to speculative philosophy but the pursuit of truth subject to Rhema) 3. The Material --> explored by scientific methods (the empirical) 1 Like |

i'm not an atheist but i've decided that i'll never ever be 'religious' in the nigerian sense again. i'm a christian, i believe in God, why? i see his hand in my life when things that i pray for or wish for fall into place and how i manage to avoid the things that would harm me. the herd mentality type of religion in Nigeria where no one thinks for himself or tries to understand what really is right or not except that the religious leader declared it so is not my style. that's my simple answer  |

Kay 17: If there is a perfect god, why is there an imperfect world?Because of sin and satan. |
| Re: Atheist State Your Reasons For Not Believing In God/Religion by SNCOQ3(m): 9:22pm On Mar 28, 2012 |
Kay 17: If there is a perfect god, why is there an imperfect world?)Suffering is the result of human sin. The world is not the way that God created it and because of that, all are vulnerable to the effects of sin in the world. Why does one person suffer and another does not? Why do catastrophes happen to some and not to others? It is because sin is in the world. But there will come a day when the Lord will return and cleanse this world of all sin and all suffering.
