ollah1: Non religious people are one of the most depressed people you'd ever meet. They always look for whom to blame at every slight challenge they face, so they blame God for all their predicaments since they cant blame their friends. |

BecaciaBarbie: Celebration of the birth of the sun god (which you guys renamed Christmas ) predates Christianity. Other terms for Christmas which has nothing to do with Christ are noel, yuletide and Jul. 1 Like |

MuttleyLaff: But jesus physically proved his presence to Thomas before he believed. Why can't the same Jesus prove his presence physically to doubting Seun to clear his unbelief. 1 Like 1 Share |

wirinet:Yeah because Thomas asked Jesus for proof wirinet:Wouldnt make a difference, if He did It will be a wasted and futile effort wirinet, rubbishly shrugged off as an apparition besides, the truth is: Blessed are those who haven't seen Jesus but believe. |

lalabrother: If that's true then religious folks will be fighting against each other while the non religious watch from the sidelines. You attacked Seun simply because he is an atheist. But your extremist self, have used/presently use things done by people whom you don't believe in their religion or are non religious. 1 Like |

MuttleyLaff: Seun is also asking for proof, same way Thomas asked for proof. How do you or Jesus know it will be a wasted and futile effort? You mean Seun would still doubt Jesus if he appeared to Seun like he did Thomas and ask Seun to feel the spear hole in his side? 3 Likes |

wirinet:He can ask, however he actually, is blessed believing without necessarily asking for proof wirinet:He is better off believing without asking to feel the spear hole in Jesus side It is a leap of faith exercise, if anyone, so decides and want to jump It's carte blanche wirinet |

mr atheist dont get me wrong, its not my problem whether someone believe inthe existence of God or not. I leave that completely in hia hands. He got saul when he wanted to he can catch by himself. My problem with seun was that he doesnt believe that God exist but he still goes on to assist those that preach God's message by taking it to the front page where the message will have a wider view. Isnt that foolishness? ollah1: |

MuttleyLaff:I believe that the story of doubting Thomas was fabricated to address people like me who could not believe in the resurrection of Jesus due to the lack of evidence. It simultaneously suggests that (1) the evidence actually existed, and (2) believing without the evidence is somehow better. What a clever way to avoid having to provide evidence for a highly unlikely claim. “I can fly like a bird” “I won’t believe you unless you fly in my presence.” “Last year, I had a friend named Thomas who doubted my ability to fly, just as you do. He was so embarrassed when I flew in his presence, that he had to kill himself. He should have just believed me without asking for evidence. And so should you, by the way.” 13 Likes 4 Shares |

lalabrother: Why would you have problems with seun and don't have problems with Mark Zukerberg when he also assist those that preach Gods message by allowing people circulate it on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram? Don't you think you are very foolish? Thanks for concluding I'm an atheist. You are indeed extremely foolish |

BecaciaBarbie: What do Christmas trees and decorations sleigh bells and Santa Claus and secular Christmas songs like "Jingle Bells" have to do with the birth of Jesus? I celebrate Christmas as part of the holiday season that ends the year and begins the next year, and I often travel and meet family and friends I haven't seen for long. It has zero religious significance to me. Christmas is essentially a pagan feast adopted by the Catholic church to mark their own defining event and other churches equally adopted it from those Catholic roots. Christmas' secular traditions also makes the holiday unique compared to other Christian celebrations. Easter for example is about as relevant to me and many other secular irreligious people as the Muslim Eid. 1 Like |

correctguy101: We were not created to be know we are naked, the Lucifer guy helped us out, and ruined the entire plan, now we must ascend to be counted among those fit to reign with the Gods in the Cosmos. I do not know if people actually know that being dogmatically religious is very dangerous to their soul. |
Re: Do Atheists Celebrate Christmas? by Zuluhead(m): 2:51pm On Dec 12, 2017 |
Its a known fact that chrismas is meant for Christian, same way sallah meant for muslim. The atheist should have adopted new year as theirs since it's a netural date. Am not against anyones religions but you guys shouting about atheist, alot of african folks aint finding atheist attractive anymore and they are jumping into satanism and luciferian religion which are legal and registered in many parts of the world. An atheist is better than the others they are one pf the most intelligent companion to hang out with, most of my friends are but am not and we respect each others belief and religions.

Proudgorgeousga:business man? Money is his sole aim, so he will advocate for God's(a being he believes that doesn't exist) kingdom so that he can make money? From an atheist perspective"where's the wisdom in that"? Anyways am not surprised anymore because his actions have been preordained by God. See some scriptures below... Jeremiah 8:9 "The wise men are put to shame, They are dismayed and caught; Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD, And what kind of wisdom do they have? 1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise(1st Corinthians 1:27a) God did not choose philosophers, nor orators, nor statesmen, nor men of wealth, and power, and interest in the world, to publish the gospel of grace and peace. He best judges what men and what measures serve the purposes of his glory. |

Seun: The whole of creation is a testament about the creator. God has made himself clearly known through the universe, so humankind is without excuse. If the universe were just a random cosmic accident, there is no reason for it to follow certain laws |

How does it affect seun or zukerberg christians talk about a non existent God or not as far as they are making their money. I am yet to understand what ur vexation is all about. |
