darkmarky: humanity is, not the bible, not the koran or any religious book. i am not an atheist btw |

uzolexis:lwkm hahahahaha what humanity? man needs to be guided so as not to go astray and religion is the key. man can not live by conscience cus it misleads. |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by uzolexis(f): 8:21am On Jan 06, 2017 |
darkmarky: Actually it's the other way round, religion misleads. Makes you think that anyone that does not believe in what you believe is wrong or probably evil(an infidel like Islam would call you) but if you are not bound by that, you would see everyone as human. Humans are born with a conscience, inherently good. If you need a book before to tell you what is right or wrong then you have a problem. |

Lennycool:which among them... this statement was made by an athiest-richard dawkins
so who says "atheism is good"? |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by uzolexis(f): 10:25am On Jan 06, 2017 |
darkmarky: My point is humans are inherently born with a sense of good and bad which develops as one gets older, with or without religion. |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by Nobody: 5:18pm On Jan 06, 2017 |
uvalued:Atheism is unbelief it is neither good nor bad. And Dawkins is right. There is no good or evil in the vastness of the universe, Everything is just a matter of perspective |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by uvalued(m): 8:06pm On Jan 06, 2017 |
Lennycool: as long as an athiest has a nihilistic perspective it just okay... since no good nor evil then surely a mad terrorist perspective could be everything..interesting...and guess what its his perspective... when he detonates? |

uvalued:Please Christianity is fundamentally a nihilist philosophy, "This world doesn't matter only making heaven does" That sure sounds like nihilism to me Plus odds are that your terrorist is most likely religious What I mean by perspective is simple. From a human perspective the terrorist bombing is evil, to the universe it is inconsequential. If a hurricane kills a thousand humans, from a human POV it is bad, to the earth at large, it is meaningless. If humanity were to go extinct now, to humans it would be bad, to the earth and the millions of other animals on it, it would be a good thing. The dinosaurs went extinct and it was a bad thing for them but their extinction gave humans a chance to evolve so it is a good thing for us. If the earth were to explode, it would be bad for all the lifeforms on earth, but to the galaxy, it would be meaningless. So you see, bad and good, is just a matter of perspective. Pitiless indifference is the nature of our universe. 1 Like |

Atheists have said that this thread is embarrassing, a baby thread, a mistake, etc. Could you please explain what makes it embarrassing? Tnx. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by Seun(m): 10:36am On Jan 07, 2017 |
Is it: - The admission of unhappiness about Mark saying he's not an atheist? - The inability to believe that Mr Zuckerberg is actually religious? - The seemingly unnecessary criticism of male genital mutilation? - The 'optics' of referring to Yahweh as the "Jewish God"? Tnx. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Seun:There is nothing embarrassing about the thread as there should be no reason for you to be surprised Mark "believes in God" |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by Nobody: 3:06pm On Jan 07, 2017 |
Seun:Mr Seun, though I AM NOT AN ATHEIST, but I will emphatically and strongly tell you that there's nothing wrong with this thread at all-it is not in any way embarassing or whatever. You have the freedom of expression as well as the right to utter what you feel and to ask questions about an issue and then people can come in and discuss, debate, brainstorm, air their opinion and do analysis. I should say this: to the best of my knowledge, though I don't live inside you, but wasn't that one of the major reasons why you established nairaland-an online forum? So, why can't people-even you of all people, express your thoughts/opinion about a trending issue like Zuckerberg's religion status? Just my opinion. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Fulaman198:This is one of the areas where I disagree with contemporary "science". I do not believe that we originated from Africa, Mesopotamia or wherever. I only agree as do anthropologists in general that the oldest fossils of man are foun in Africa. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. Let's not stretch it beyond that. That's the flaw of both religion and Atheism. They are always too eager to take things beyond where they are just to prove their point. Just a few days ago there was a thread about a new organ discovered in the human body. Whether or not it turns out to be truly a new organ, this demonstrate that man is learning new things everyday. We don't know for sure that man originated from Africa because anthropologists have not excavated every square meter of the ground on our planet. We know also that it is not every place that's favourable to the preservation of fossil. Why then are we quick to make categorical statements? |

Vanceastro:Can you elaborate on what you found to be childish? Like, what are the aspects of the post that make it childish? Is it any of these things? |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by Nobody: 9:20pm On Jan 07, 2017 |
Seun:I think the way you reacted as though mark broke ya heart and then went on a parallel route attacking the jewish god- which should have had nothing to do with the op- It was golden to watch please check out this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/3547914/please-support-aspiring-programmer |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by Seun(m): 10:12pm On Jan 07, 2017 |
Vanceastro:This is helpful. Did you get that from my post or from the replies? I expressed disapproval but I guess the replies coloured your opinion. and then went on a parallel route attacking the jewish god- which should have had nothing to do with the op-He said he was raised a Jew, implying that Judaism is his religion. I tried to show that it was highly unlikely that Mark sincerely follows that. 1 Like 1 Share |

Seun:Mark's religious believe has been very pivotal in a lot of discussions here on Nairaland. So it is a thread that served some purpose to those it may concern. The op came through as if from a disappointed writter, hence the fodder jesters could feed on and totally drive the thread off the main subject of discuss |
Re: Mark Zuckerberg Is Not An Atheist? by Nobody: 10:30pm On Jan 07, 2017 |
Seun:He was raised a jew doesn't necessarily mean he is still a jew. He said religion is important which an atheist I do agree. He never said anything about his religious beliefs tho.. So there was really no need for the attack on the jewish god. |

uvalued:Please don't compare me with that dolt of a theist. Like I said before everything is a matter of perspective. Even meaning. Yes to the larger universe, humans and human actions are inconsequential, but to us humans and to the earth they matter. We give each other meaning. A speck of dust in a mega construction site, is meaningless to the construction and the larger plan at work. Yet the dust particle itself might contain alot of microbial life. Within itself it derives meaning, in the grand scheme of things its is meaningless. The earth is also a speck of dust floating in the chaos of space, to the universe at large it is meaningless, but within we have meaning because we have each other, we have art, politics, entertainment, purpose, we give each other meaning. I think the nihilist problem only arises when humans try to be important to the grand scheme of the universe. Like a microbe on the speck of dust trying to alter the construction.

Like I predicted earlier seun mark zuckerberg is planning to run for office, various news sites have speculated his latest moves (before he said he wasn't an atheist) That his recent actions like going around America giving up a large percentage of his stocks are consistent with someone that wants to run for a political position and he probably figures if idiot trump can win he has a bigger chance than previously thought. Below is a website that even gives more detail as to his aspirations and its not even related to his atheism, the person was trying to answer why he thought Facebook would fall and he gave the reason that mark cares less as he has other aspirations. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/01/06/google-apple-facebook-amazon-microsoft-which-will-fall-first/?client=ms-unknown It's understandable, if I wanted to run for a political position in a religious country, I'd stay as far away from atheism as possible. 1 Like |
