Words of wisdom bro . So how does it apply here ?

..have you read the comments and line of reasoning of folks on this thread and similar threads.. and you tell me it is not neck-deep in reciprocated rabble-rousing. this is my 3rd ID on Nairaland.. been here since 2005 and nothing has changed when it comes to discussions of this nature.. there is a deep trend of selective reasoning that befuddles a sane mind. I tire ooh

You are not making any sense my dear.

You have to prove it

Not knowing how the earth came to be for a fact, doesn't mean god did it and you are the one claiming he did it,ergo the onus is on you to provide the video evidence you talked about.

And you have always rejected the "God-hypothesis " , shows that you are close-minded


I'd rather try and find answers to some of those questions by using my brain, than believe whatever unverifiable nonsense religion teaches like a brainless zombie.

Lol . Religious people are involved in scientific researches as they seek explanations of how God must have done it . You see atheists have never made sense undecided

HUMANS WHO DONT OBEY GODS WAY ARE CALLED BEASTS IN THE BIBLE. LOLZZZ I GUESS YOU DIDNT SEE THAT PART IN YOUR BIBLE ?

WOMAN, SERPENT IS A CUNNY DUBIOUS EVIL MAN. CASE CLOSED. THIS BIBLE IS TOO STRONG FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND

Unfortunately, you don't know how to study a book well.

3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Isn't that specific enough for a snake?
If at all you can study well, don't be biased.

Its specific enough for a snake if you are un-enlightened, but if you are enlightened and your frequency of vibration and chakras are activated and you are a higher spiritual being then you see behind words and know what they truly mean. so crawling on your belly and eating dust means you will be put in a low state. its symbolic speech used in the bible a lot. for example here is it used for ancient babylon empire

isaiah 47 vs 1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

1. Your pattern of reasoning is proof enough.

2. The God hypothesis has no intelligent background , hence the rejection.

3.how does religionists being involved in scientific researches, prove that religion doesn't teach unverifiable nonsense?

You my friend have a brain, use it.

Seriously though Ebuka, how do you reason? Via your bum bum?

I have no issues with how some people decide to interpret the bible, expecting me to take the nonsense they spew while at it is what I have an issue with. How you think those explanations perfect, is bewildering to say the least.

The fact that you have no particular standpoint is enough to tell any sane mind you people are talking bull, y'all choose a base and then maybe, just maybe, the argument will hold water.

LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE BRAIN DEAD TO THINK A LITERAL SNAKE WAS TALKING TO A WOMAN AND OFFERING A WOMAN FRUIT. THAT IS THE LOWEST FORM OF INTELLIGENCE TO POSSESS IF YOU THINK THIS IS A LITERAL STORY. ITS LIKE THE MYTHOLOGY OF ODUDUWA FALLING FROM THE SKY AND COMING DOWN TO EARTH. YOU WILL BE STUPID TO THINK A MAN FELL FROM THE SKY AND ESTABLISHED A RACE OF PEOPLE. PEOPLE IN THE OLDEN DAYS USED PARABLES AND MYTHOLOGY TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. IF YOU HAVENT FIGURED THAT OUT BY NOW YOU MAY NEED A BRAIN TUNE-UP grin grin

I am only amazed that some people (theists especially) could be so dogmatic and accept that a print of ancient text is so accurate and without flaw.

Smh, I've told you your own case is simply bordering on pure insanity but you didn't believe me.

So everything in the bible is allegorical because Jesus spake some parables and two women representing covenants, were said to be an allegory?

Listen let me let you in on a lil secret>>> all the secrets of this world are hidden in mythology. you better learn how to decode it or you will just be lost in this world thinking life is about material things. from the onset of civilization till now, all secrets have been hidden in mythology. in ancient egypt you have the mythology of heru and hathor and amun and sekhmet and ptah etc etc, in sumer it is the mythology of gilgamesh, in greek it is dionysus and diana and eros and cupido and admetos and zeus and poseidon etc etc and in roman empire it is apollo and Jesus christ and etc etc. all the secrets are hidden in mythology stories. thats just how the world is and only the enlightened know the answers. you have to join mystery schools like the freemasons to get some of the answers. the rest of those who dont have the answers are called cattle or zombies or sheeple

Since they are myths, why are you trying to pass them off as truth?

A myth is what it is, a myth, ain't nothing hidden/deep about it.
