Improve on yourself as a human being. Take courses/read about marriage and all its troubles. Look for a reasonable man that shares your fundamental ideas of marriage and how a home should work. Your future is in your hands, waiting for dubious readers of God's mind to point out a divine prince will only drain your pocket and leave you heartbroken 1 Like |

Virginity counts for nothing for me. It's all about the mindset. I know girls that have had oral, anal sex with multiple men but refuse to have vaginal sex so as to keep the 'virgin' tag. After you knack your 'virgin' wife, what makes you think you'll be the last? |

"I do not pray. I accept the means at my disposal for working out my destiny. It seems to me that I have been given a mind and willpower for that very purpose. I do not expect God to single me out and grant me advantages over my fellow men. Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to it weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility." 1 Like |

Toks2008: Lol you might want to actually learn about the history of the bible. Its authorship, discrepancies, canonization, lost scrolls etc. If your convictions remain, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. 2 Likes |

italo: Finally, you make actual statements, shedding the light on your unquestionable ignorance. Firstly, The priest you mention had no contribution WHATSOEVER to "wireless telegraphy". We have Hertz & Marconi as the principal innovators to thank for that. The dishonest extent you're going to strengthen your propaganda is baffling. Next, a fundamental component of current internet communication is the contribution of satellites in orbit. Developed based on principles conceived by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and other physicists who have no regard whatsoever for your vain God. I reiterate, the day you choose to begin to think for yourself will be the day you start to truly live. My work here is done. |

[quote author=italo post=37885481][/quote] Faith: (noun) Strong believe in God or religous doctrine based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. It's truly difficult to try to reason with someone clearly bound by the mental shackles of this brand of ignorance. So in a nutshell, you've itted the bible isn't 100% truth. There's a start. Juxtaposing testable, constantly scrutinized scientific theories based on facts/ evidence with the 'Take my word for it' efforts of the church? Seriously? If you 'understood' science, you wouldn't compare the convictions and accuracy of modern science with the works of Aristotle & the 16th century breakthrough efforts of Galileo. As I mentioned earlier, you seem to enjoy arguing blindly. Sadly, more so than reasoning rationally. Pardon me if you're upset that I prefer to believe the findings of the people who made communication via this medium possible, as opposed to a bunch of books selected from Jewish and Roman folklore. |

italo: Now you're confused and disillusioned. Refusing to it to what you believe in, just to argue out your ignorant point. My "claims" have been proven by 500 years of science and free thinking. Physicists, Biologists, Archeologists, Paleontologists and Cosmologists all arriving at tested and proven conclusions about the origin of the universe and the history of mankind. A long way off the s of prehistoric herdsmen who typically thought the moon was a source of light and the earth was at the centre of the universe. The bitter truth is that this is not up for argument as facts will always remain facts, and fiction, for example Christianity, will always remain fiction. You can choose to ignore the truth and cling onto the false dreams the white men sold your fathers, or learn to think for yourself and see things as they really are. |

italo: If you couldn't find the answers to your questions in my post then you're way too thick to be worth trying to reason with. You're so far deep into indoctrination that you can't have a rational conversation and use your brain the process. Your God is dead. And that is a metaphor, the only real aspect of that statement is death. |

dmandy: That you take 'offence' in someone questioning your belief highlights your insecurity. The fact that you think belief in Your God & your way of 'serving' him and Morality in Society are mutually inclusive is a typical example of ignorance about the way of life of 'unbelievers' or rational thinkers. Yes, I clearly saw the topic of the trend and proceeded to highlight my views that your belief is, quite frankly, rubbish. You have a right to believe whatever you choose to, but I'm also entitled to question it, especially when you make it public business. Getting angry might seem like the last resort when you have nothing constructive to say, but I advice you to calm down, try to understand my views and enlighten me if there's something you think I don't already know. I hope one day you eventually start to think for yourself and see religion for what it truly is. |

italo: Thoughts similar to Epicurus' initially sprung up at about the age of 6, the foundations of my eventual disbelief. The conception of an all powerful, 'good' God doesn't quite add up when you access the daily happenings in our world. I'm aware of the history of Christianity; the varying 'gospel s' circulating amongst early Christians, the lost scrolls, synoptic gospels, the cannonization involving the selection of books you currently know as the biblical testaments. If a God really wanted to a sacred text unto his creatures, then did quite a hatchet job of it. The old testament, or Jewish Toral as I prefer to call it, is a collection of Jewish folklore. An awful patched up work of various authors typically exemplified in Genesis 1&2; two varying s of the creation story. Why so many discrepancies? and quite frankly, untrue messages about our world, that only reflect the perception and understanding of the universe by prehistoric herdsmen. Asking me to prove the non existence of Your God is quite a humbling request, considering there are also 100,000 other Gods that need disproving, if we start heading down that road. You can't 'prove' the non existence of something imaginary. |

italo: 'Faith' is empty, because by definition is belief without proof or evidence. Current Christian ideology is based on the words of the bible, which happens to be a collection of mythical books. Asking me to prove that God is not real is like a kid asking you to prove that his imaginary friend doesn't exist. Nevertheless, I'll leave you with this quote from Epicurus; “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” |

dmandy: On the contrary, I'm as secure as I've ever been. Faith is empty belief, without proof or evidence. Reason, or logical thinking is the exact opposite. I live in a country where religious bigotry has become the order of the day. Young people are being convinced that all they need to do in life is 'believe' and all other actions are immaterial. People in power are constantly using 'dark forces' as seemingly valid excuses for their failure to perform at various levels. People are being coached to 'pray away' their illnesses, problems and financial issues. And religious institutions have maintained their ways of turning humans against each other in constant disputes over who is serving the one true God in the right way. Religion and belief has been embeded into Nigerian society to the extent that you can't ignore it, even if you tried. All for the sake of imaginary Gods and holy books that have no reasonable foundations, born from the ignorance of humanity while trying to explain things that weren't understood thousands of years ago. I'm here to let everyone who has started having doubts know that there's life outside the walls of religious institutions. And to make people like you understand that organised religion is a scam that is ultimately more harmful than beneficial to humanity. |

dmandy: You judge people based on whether they believe in your God or not. You don't tolerate any idea that is not 'biblical' even though you don't know the origin of biblical books (if you did you wouldnt take it serious). And then there's childhood indoctrination; the only reason christianity is still alive today. Why feed children with this mythical stuff when they can barely think for themselves? |

dmandy: Unfortunately, not everyone who doesn't believe in your God has sworn allegiance to 'Satan' or any other deity. I believe in love, peace, charity, tolerance. I decided not to stay quiet about my current views because I feel religion does more harm than good for humanity. The atrocities committed daily in the name of your Gods are unspeakable. I've also realized almost all Christians(like most other religions) only know as much about their faith as indoctrination took them. It's no coincidence that most of those who look further, usually end up full of doubt. Since the church lost it's power to prosecute people for heresy, 'unbelief' has spread, as reason and rational thinking is becoming the order of the day. Humanity's fear of the unknown created the gods, the intelligence of humanity is calculated to destroy them. |

altamaurice: The head of? Women? The home? Companies? Countries? Religious establishments? You might be able to justify the latter as long as you believe in irrational man made mythology. But the fact remains women have more to offer than being mere subsidiaries. Whether you accept it or not, the world has realized the potential growth and increased productivity accompanied with giving women equal opportunites. Quoting "submission" and "from the ribs" verses from folklore might seem to give you justification, but I ask that you to let down your ego and embrace the value women add to the world, whether as subsidiaries, co-pilots or "heads" |

altamaurice: I understand your ultimate fear. World domination by women and the demise of every man in the process? Generally, you are probably physically stronger than most women, and probably less emotional. These two things are the only areas where you can claim a structural advantage (I'm not even sure the second one is) over women. So why exactly should they be seen as inferior? When you base your life on books written by prehistoric herdsmen(when the way of life was man-hunter; woman-gatherer), it's understandable where your convictions arise from. I see no reason why you would choose to consider a woman a lesser being based on a book that you don't know it's origin (If you did, I'm sure you wouldn't take it this seriously). Appreciate women for the incredibly strong humans that they are. They've only recently fought through social barriers and are already at the helm of a variety of fields, showing their incredible mental capabilities if you just give them a chance. So my friend, appreciate your mother for the strong woman that she is, accept your spouse as a partner instead of a slave and watch the empire that you both build together, and lastly, if you have daughters, raise them to be queens, giving them the love and courage they need to face this world filled with bigots like yourself 1 Like |

812clothings: This my Gospel. I think organised religion does more harm than good for humanity. The atrocities perpetrated worldwide in the name of your Gods are unspeakable. I grew up bombarded with the propaganda of indoctrination but with my level of curiosity, it was only a matter of time before I broke free. I accept that some people require the aspect of spirituality to make sense of life, but I think religion should be personal at best. Advertising hypocrisy and quoting of fictional books to dictate how others live their lives, I can't tolerate. |

It makes sense for you to be misogynistic when you follow the words of the bible to the letter. But my friend, women are precious intelligent beings that deserve an equal bearing in society if humanity wants to thrive further. I hope you find the courage to let down your ego and give yourself a chance to appreciate the true value of women, as opposed to being "helpers". 1 Like |

Early christians responsible for the authorship of the Gospel books, like the Jews before them are notorious for not wanting to depart from polytheistic ways. You'll find other references to multiple beings constituting the supreme if you look further
