Please do you have any evidence to back up this fictional story of yours?

He mustn't back it up. He still made point

JackBizzle:
Yesterday, one of my principles about religion paid off. I had a Muslim couple pay for my taxi.

I had a business meeting in a corner of lagos which I would never drive to and so, I used an uber to the place. After the meeting, I was waiting for my uber to arrive.

The place is a bit flooded and so I knew the uber would take time to come. So there I was waiting for my taxi in the hot sun with my business suit sweating. An older Muslim couple came and were looking confused (I knew they were Muslim from dressing hijab n Muslim cap). I greeted them "Salam, good afternoon". The Muslim couple greeted back and stated that they were looking for an office. I gave them directions and they were happy.

Only for them to come back 5 mins later and inform me that the office was closed and that someone is coming to pick them soon. So we both waited for our pick ups.

While waiting, the couple asked me if I am truly a Muslim ( I was unshaved and I greeted them salam but I just somehow had the swag of a play boy). I told them that I am a recent convert from Christianity to islam. They loved it and started telling me what books to read and how to enjoy islam. They said that they were happy to see a young polished man who is trying to be religious. They gave me 5000 naira for my taxi.


Imagine if I told them that I am an atheist who feels Prophet Mo lied.


There is a lesson somewhere here.

You deceitfully took advantage of their belief.
I feel it was petty though.

With that bolded
Please then tell him to not come and accuse anybody of being gullible here again .

felixomor:

My story is true. Unfortunately, there is no way I can prove it.

If even you don't believe, the lesson remains important

JackBizzle:


Machiavellian

That's a bad reputation . Nothing to be proud of . One of the dark triads - the other two are Narcissism and psychopathy .

felixomor:

Fallacy: Red herring.
This thread is not about raising dead.

I hope u are reading?

His story wasn't outrageous like claiming to raise the dead. So ur going to have to take his word for it

lepasharon:

Hahahaha.
What a command.

Sorry, all lies are outrageous.
Especially proven ones like this.

JackBizzle:

Well if there is no evidence , then there is no logical reason to accept the story as true .

JackBizzle:

What lesson is there to be learnt ? Exploit people for your selfish interest . Be a mountebank . Fake it and finagle money from unsuspecting people .

Which one is it ?

You shouldn't be bothered by being called gullible. He made a point and also sent a message, which is you can use common sense to get what you want regardless of your label

Machiavelli was not evil. He was just a smart guy who wrote about the ruthless nature of politics.

He was pragmatic.


Joseph Stalin on the other hand....

felixomor:

Can u prove that it is a lie?


Like how you ask atheists if the can prove that God doesn't exist.


Dull

Of course deception , exploitation , selfishness and manipulation are seen as being smart for you as an atheist . This is what it means to lack moral compass .

Please first prove that the story is not a lie.
Provide evidence

I did not ask the couple for money. They gave it freely.


I liked two birds with one stone. Made a couple happy and got a free ride to my destination.


The lesson is to understand people's biases and appeal to them.

I can't. The same way you can't prove your God.

JackBizzle:

Good, even.
You have no business here

Your church that does staged miracles nko? Are they not using deception?


Hi and read about Machiavelli

Not every story requires proof- did Jesus provide proofs for the parables?

Hehehehe,
And I guess you are the rule maker who demands proof from christians but on your own turn,
"Not all stories require evidence"
yeah right
Say that to the birds

felixomor:

Sorry, u dont make points by telling lies

You should take it as a parable if it is a lie and I know you know all parable or story has a hidden message,so take the hidden message from his story even if it is a lie and apply it

swegiedon:

Sorry, the writer did not claim its a parable.
And besides Parables are narrated in third person. What business has atheist with "parables" in the first place?

Please, Stop trying so hard to justify lies.

My story is not out of the ordinary. It happens to people. It is not something worth investigating.


If I told you that I have a black pencil. Would you ask for proof? It is not affecting anything. It not unusual to have a pencil.


Now, if I told you that I have magic to control your life......that needs testing.

Mumu. So an atheist can not make parables?
It is a true story.

The fact that you are asking for proof rather than looking at the lesson shows that you are dull.

swegiedon:

What is wrong with these people ? Which hidden message is there to discover ?

For us who have moral rectitude , there is no moral lesson to be learnt here ; for the turpitudinous ones like the atheists , deception and manipulation should be appreciated

Hehehehe,
Keep trying hard to Justify your lies.
Besides, if a Christian told you he witnessed a miracle,
You have to believe also.
You dont have to ask proof. Miracles occur.
Dont u think so?

This is why you'll never be rich. Every human interaction is a lie. You show people your good side and never your bad side when you first meet.


The laws of seduction. Never show your true intent, rather play to your targets weakness.


To reiterate the point Seun is an atheist but atheist threads never make the front page. Islamic threads on Friday and Christian threads on Sunday.

Think.
