mimibets: Just because a part is false doesn't make the whole false. Not everyone that comes in the name of God is of God.

Sorry, if the whole claims to be wholly true, then a part should not be false.


Many of God's first prophets in the bible were scandalous. Polygamy, incest, murder.

italo: @ logicboy, sometimes I feel sorry for you. The kind of confusion that must be going on in your head. i wish you had the kind of certainty that i have. Cheers

I pity you. Jumping on the white European Jesus that the catholics have created for you. Tell me, how does it feel to believe 100% of a church that supported the slavery of your ancestors or a church that covers up p.edophile priests?

Have u ever thought about the part not being truly part of the whole but infiltrates the whole to give it a black name? The bible says in the last days,false prophet will arise for the sole purpose of leading men astray. Why do u look to the wrong for inspiration?in the same bible there were men of faith,men that lived lives worthy of emulation,why don't u look to those?

If the bible is not true, then the christian God is a fake.

If the christian God's first prophets eg Abraham (incest with Sara), Moses (genocide of midianites), Solomon (polygamy in excess), and David (adultery) then God is a fake

Abraham marrying sarah,what was the world's population at the time? Nearly everyone was related.About the rest,if u read lower,they were reprimanded by GOD and were remorseful and forgiven.The bible is the one book that has stood the test of time,the most read book.There will surely be conspiracy theories but if u realize wat this theories are for u'll hold on fast to the promises of God.At this time when the world is falling apart,it gives me strength to know that i have a greater force that is on my side.

So God could not create millions of people to populate the world naturally? He chose the other option which would be incest with a small group of people.


Furthermore, you should never believe that you have a greater force on your side. That is selfish and arrogant. The people starving in calabar or millions dying in Sudan, dont they have God on their side? Or are they not religious enough?


You are young and you are on the internet. Google is your friend. Ask yourself if there exists a single proof of God and read the bible if the bible is not flawed.

My favourite verses;


Slavery


Leviticus 25:44
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.

1 Peter 2:18
"Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh."

Titus 2:9
"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them"



Sexism
(it's good that you're a woman)

1 Corinthians 14:34
women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says

1 Corinthians 11:7
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

Many laws in the bible were enforced at the time that particular book was written,some laws of the old testament were not applicable in the new testament,same way some laws aren't applicable now. Lot of people ask why there is so much suffering in the world when there is God,there are may reasons for this.One reason is that God is not the ruler of this world,He might have created it but the devil rules the world,how would he have offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world if he did not own them? Secondly,the devil has deceived people and turned them from God.People are aware of God's existence but still don't acknowledge Him,He won't force u coz He gives us free will.A barber when asked why God does not do anything about suffering likened it to people walking about with bushy hair even when he declared free hair cuts,not because they don't know the way to his shop but because they have refused to have a hair cut.Same way people die from curable diseases when they could have reached out to a knowledgable person or a doctor.

If you notice, I gave quotes from the new testament as well. The new testament supports slavery and sexism.

Your barber quote is nonsense. People believe in God and still starve to death or die from incurable diseases. Where is God for them? Why should christian children die from suicide bombing?

Why should you not suffer? Why should God let other christians die of cancer but you remain healthy in calabar? Are you more religious or special?



Google is your friend. Find the truth.

Maybe the barber is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad at his craft that he couldn't even give away free haircuts. The guy is so bad, that people would rather walk around nappy headed than allow him to touch their heads.

Do you know if you were born an Indian...you won't be saying those crap you wrote up there. If those laws were enforced then, what need is of it been in the bible. Probably the writers thought every readers would abide by them given to the fear factor they inspire.

You said 'God isn't the ruler of this world' My question is - Who is the ruler?, Must there be a ruler in the first place? Why should your God created this world only to be ruled by his 'adversary'? Nonsense again...Don't your God have the power to eliminate any unfavourable ruler even if he's busy somewhere creating other worlds?

If you really think your God created the earth for satan the Devil to manage/control....leaving humans with the 'free will' to decide.... Then you like every other theists are fans of nonsense.

So lion too has the free will to feed or not on a gazelle, what has the innocent gazelle done? If a python swallows an toddler/infant who crawled away from a cradle while mother was plucking wool...would such incident be blamed on Devil? Afterall isn't it your God that created all creature...think deeeep think logically....there is no God (YAWEH or Allah) anywhere.

I personally am a Neo-paganic Henodeist. So I believe in certain deities who never asks anyone to kill in their behalf or to prove their existence like the images you have below:

Wow!! I haven't seen hollywood get anybody this excited since Deepsight got some spiritual enlightenment from Avatar. Now, dear LogicBoy sees another hollywood epic and is now leaning towards the agnostic side. Calm down, it's just great CGI, the bible, erich von daniken and some hollywood screenwriters.

If you grew up in the 1970s, you may have a dim memory of “Chariots of the Gods,” an international best seller by Erich von Däniken full of dubious speculation about extraterrestrial influences on ancient earthling civilizations. The book, a kind of space age “Da Vinci Code,” inspired a goofy German documentary and, if memory serves, some earnest, anxious debates among sixth-grade protogeeks who shall remain nameless.
http://movies.nytimes.com/2012/06/08/movies/prometheus-by-ridley-scott-with-noomi-rapace.html

Mr Von Daniken was one of the subjects of an interesting discussion a few months ago. Don't get too excited.

I tried to finish Erich Von Daniken's book titled 'Gold of The Gods'. Thing is this writer proffered brilliant speculations as to the origin of hunanoid citing various buried evidence of alien contact on earth...but Daniken was and is still considered 'fringe' among mainstream scientific thoughts. I am bewildered as to why movie makers accepted Ridley Scott's to manifest this so regarded 'fringe' author inspired idea to a movie. Na wa o!

Okay let's say I might be wrong...pls clarify me regarding how atheism is synonymous with agnostism.

Concerning the topic

First of all...

Confessing that you are now drifting towards agnosticsm...which is basically means one that doesn't disbelieve nor believes.....shows that you weren't even an atheist from the on start....you just did more of logical thinking like me.....even I who is neo-paganic henotheist deist is even more atheistic than you are....since my atheism is towards the 2 of the 3 abrahamic religions affecting our thinking here in the land of the non-white skin. I didn't want to say Africa...because they gave it to us...I don't want to use Nigeria or Black skin because they made us accept it....I am firstly de-conditioning myself from mental slavery. Point is...just like Pagan9ja keep saying....we all need to first of all redefine our identity before you or me should even start debating about the meaning of theism or differences between gnosticsm, agnosticsm and atheism...because they all are oyinbo people concept...

Simple. Every atheist is an agnostic to some degree because you can not rule out something's existence 100%. You cant disprove a negative.


As for the other things, I agree with you on getting our African identity back.

Even Muslims have never said one needs to attain a certain level of spiritual capability to understand and/or interpret the Quran. The Quran is a book you understand once u understand the language with which it was written, it's not the same with the Bible, so pls dont even try to compare.

You have been brain washed. Are you a Jew? If you aren't stop eating amala and eba because all African foods are associated with a particular 'pagan' deity. You extol the deity of the Jew - God(Yaweh) while knowing none of your lands. What a shame and another sad case of a lost identity.
