Martian:

Democratic socialism will do a lot of good in Nigeria. Capitalism with progressive taxes and a broad social safety net could transfrom Nigeria. But since God isn't included in the mix, you'll probably reject it.

Nazis killed people because of their ethnicity and religion. When did Tai Solarin do something like that?

Socialism of any form would not do Nigeria, or any country, any good. The only difference between Democratic Socialism and Revolutionary Socialism is the time taken for the country to turn into an oppressive dictatorship. Go and Read "The Road to Serfdom".

Did he kill anybody because of ethnicity or religion? No, but he admired the political system of countries that did just that, on a much larger scale for a longer period of time. Given the opportunity he would have welcomed such regimes in Nigeria and likely tried to fund some.

Stop telling lies. . . . .Here is what the article says. . ."His humanism had led him to express a fondness for the governments of China and the U.S.S.R., because of their socialist guarantees of free medicine and education for all. But he still upholds the ideals of freedom and democracy".

Nazi Germany also had free healthcare and free education. Do you admire them for that? Do a little research on him, he was a committed Marxist.

What's soul? Your imagination of heaven and hell is impractical and your doctrine limit the power of God. Go back and read you religion book you will find out that they are just human imagination and traditions. It is sad many people are not willing to hear this. Human beings possess the energy to interact with its environment that doesn't mean it is supernatural. Just like the way you would receive a call from USA - if you have no single idea of how it operate you would deem it a miracle but it is a simple law in nature.

Please, it is sad Nigerians are still very backward in this regard, nonetheless, the way they defend religion with impractical evidences baffles me!

There are many Marxists who claim to uphold freedom and democracy, as they know their idiotic system would not gain popular support otherwise. They are called Democratic Socialists.

Look at Hitler, he got his inspiration from Fredrick Nietzsche who hated religion because it preached concepts such as love and Kindness, this same man rejected all religion"

Nietzsche never hated religion,he hated christianity

For Nigeria, there is only a known humanist. That is Tai Solarin. His experiment in his Ikenne laboratory shows that good behaviour is no monopoly of Taoism, or Confucianism,
or Buddhism, or Christianity, or Islam. Every human being
is a warehouse of goodness.

, and even in an environment with an atheist like Tai, God was stil able 2 raise up a man 2 prove that he is GOD. Read Pastor W.F. Kumuyi's story about his time in Mayflower, his struggle between believing all d philosophy dat had been planted in his head and how God was stil able 2 prove 2 him dat He existed. Only a supreme being can take an indoctrinated man and turn him around.

Save all those crazy talk of emotional outburst to yourself. . . .And who made Fredrick Nietzsche an authority over atheism?. . .Enough of your lies about religion preaching love and kindness. Some religions do preach love and kindness but yours does NOT. The religion that you subscribe to does NOT preach that at all and there evidence the world over for all to see. . . .There are many people that subscribe to your religion the world over  that are killing others as a religious duty and chanting the name of your imaginary God while reading the Koran and getting inspiration from it at the same time advocating violence against others the world over, no?. . . . .


Who made Osama an authority in anything or Muslims that have gone against Islamic teachings an authority in anything? When you can prove to me that you apply your "logics" the same way you pretend to apply it here., we will have to settle that Nietzche is an atheist authority.

mazaje:

From wikipedia which talks about religion under Nazism. It states that "The German census of May 1939 indicates that 54 percent of Germans considered themselves Protestant and 40 percent considered themselves Catholic, with only 3.5 percent claiming to be neo-pagan "believers in God," [b]and 1.5 percent unbelievers. [/b]This census came more than six years into the Hitler era"


How does Nazsim being an atheistic movement that is anti - religious be refuted by your census results? Pls bound yourself by rational parameters, it owuld have made more sense if you had say that it is not an atheistic movement,but evidence shows clearly that nazsim was clearly under the influence of Nietzhce.

mazaje:

Nazism is an atheistic movement yet almost all its members during that period who carried out all the evil were self professing Christians. How ironic,only a fraction of the population at that time were atheist, over 98 percent were God believers and they were the ones that did the damage. . Nietzsche ideas and philosophy represent his ideas and philosophy as an individual alone, it doesn't represent the world view of atheist the world over if it did atheist the world over will be promoting his ideas . So what if Hitler dad was a skeptic? Hitler had publicly stated that he was a Christian many times. . . .


Your atheist credentials are in doubt indeed, Hitler spoke secretly of his hatred for Christianity, he was christian when it serve his political agenda, I understand that this information is common for anybody to get.

mazaje:

And the atheist religious text which advocates violence and whom all atheist live by was written by who? The same religious text also teach war and destruction, no? Love and kindness have nothing to do with religion and that is a well known fact, religion does NOT promote love or kindness if it does religious societies will be full of love and kindness but the exact opposite is what holds sway. You don't have to go too far, take a look at northern Nigeria, which is one of the most ethno-religious society in the world and see how the love and kindness of religion has helped the people living there. . . .  Before the present religions were invented people lived in love and kindness, no?

I can only repeat my earlier response: Cheap ignorance is what you are displaying, and i am still going to start a thread to show ignorant atheist like you self how peaceful atheism actually is. Thank goodness, there are religious text for all to read, which clearly shows the precedence of love and kindness in religion generally, thank goodness the so called atheist society which you live in was clearly influenced by religious influence. I wonder if atheism is so peaceful, why do we read certain atheist  like Nietzsche begging for violence and promoting wickedness, but trust this will always be overlooked by "objective" atheists. 

only one who suffer from cheap ignorance will pretend that Nigeria issue is not a mix of serious problems, stemming from poverty, political interest,ethnicty, greed, religion etc, but because you cannot focus on my point but prefer counter accusation as a means of showing your famed "rationality",as my pint is clear there exist countless examples of atheists surpporting violence with useless doctrines, and o display wanton ignorance, you said before the present religions were invented people lived in love and kindness, only shows how "intelligent" you are as, any common reading of history will indicate that there was conflict, conflicts always arise when there is something to fight over, this is why the low thinking of Tai Solarin failed him, you cannot take the human factor for granted, Humans will tend to ignore values that he practice when the prevailing situation does not favor him, Pagan society was quiet vicious, as they did things as abominable as murdering Twins, sacrificing people etc such violence cannot be over looked by objective individual, so also we can not overlook at how atheist movements inspired massacres such as Nazsim, in the USSR. but hey, you are too emotional to even comprehend anything.

mazaje:

I live in a completely atheist society and many people from Muslims countries are running here in large numbers trying to seek a better life and a better future for themselves here. . . .The atheist society I in live in is post religious, and as such many of the slaves of Allah are running away from the middle east and places like Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan where they have had enough of the kind of love and kindness your religion teaches to come here and live much better lives than the one obtainable in the Islamic nations.

It seem this atheist society does not have a name? You make a good morning laugh indeed, atheism that lives on law propounded by religion, lol!

mazaje:

So because one man who happens to be an atheist believed in social Darwinism means all atheist believe in social Darwinism? How absurd. . . . I live in a completely atheist society that has the highest number of gun holders in the world per capita, yet it remains one of the countries with one of the lowest gun crimes or murders in the world. . . .So tell me where is your senseless correlation between social Darwinism, atheism and violence? Again I ask you who made  Fredrick Nietzsche an authority over other atheists and what they believe and why are atheistic societies like the one I live in not violent or living under social Darwinism? When was the last time you personally heard any atheist advocating violence in the name of atheism?. . . .Stop grasping at straws. . . .

Yes how absurd, it is to use the Osama, religion related violence etc to judge religion, I am simply gradually exposing the Hypocrisy of atheism, and I repeat Nietzche remains an authority in atheism as long as people like you and solarin makes straw based arguments.

mazaje:

Whatever. . . . Nietzsche provided the ideological frame work for the evils of Nazism as you put it, but it was the Christians with the love and kindness their religion teaches that carried out the evil acts of the atheist right? How absurd. . . .Again, why are atheistic societies like the one I live and many others around me not practicing social Darwinism, if that is what atheism teaches as are you are trying to say? You clearly do not know what you are talking about. . . . .

Atheist society with no name? The bulk of the German society suffered from nationalism fever, that was why they could easily have fooled to have followed Neiztche foolery, Nieztche remains an atheist authority based on your form of thinking. Yes the crimes were committed by Christians but Niezche provided the "rational" Basis for their actions. Thank you.

Who mentioned Osama any where?. . . . .Most of the Muslims the world over that believe in killing others as a religious duty get their inspirations and commandments from the Koran, no? When was the last time you heard any atheist killing any body in the name of atheism? Your religious book encourages people to fight others that do not believe in its lies and the silly way of life it promotes,no?. . . . .

"Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."  Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time.  From the Hadith, we know that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding caravans with this verse. 

[i]Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"


Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"  No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.

Here is your imaginary God through the pen of deluded Arab savages giving injunctions to men and prescribing fight for them. . .The same imaginary impotent God that can do nothing is seen in another verse urging people to fight for him. . . .I wonder why a God that can do all things urge people to fight on his cause. . . Why not just wipe his enemies himself since he has all the power. . . .

Firstly the Pagans are not atheist, but religious people that believe in one God or many Gods, they were sacrificing people unto their Gods. Your religion is not better than any pagan religion and your God not better than theirs in any way since all the said Gods exist only in the imaginations of you God believers. . .The bible it self contains passages where Yahweh encouraged people to sacrifice humans unto him. . . So what the heck are you saying?. . . . .Atheist movement inspired massacres such as Nazism you said, eh? grin grin. . . . .How many atheist were part of the Nazi movement that committed the evil?


It seem this atheist society does not have a name? You make a good morning laugh indeed, atheism that lives on law propounded by religion, lol!

Firstly, democracy was NOT propound by any religion, equality of the sexes was not propound by any religion, freedom of speech was not propound by any religion, equal rights for every body regardless of race or intimate orientation was not propound by any religion, so I really don't know what you are talking about. . . .Cos the things that I listed are the law of the land I live in. . . .Your religion is sexist, Homophobic, and against free speech, so I wonder what you are talking about. .  .

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi
Bishop Mike Okonkwo
These are all proteges of Uncle Tai as he was fondly called by those close to him. He never submitted to organised religion, but man did he love christian songs!!!! He was a better man than most people who profess to belong to a sect or religious order. Training Nigerian students became his vision, passion and life. He ate and drank with us (Submitting himself to a standard of living equivalent to a poor Nigerian child). Life in mayflower was egalitarian, no difference between the rich and the poor (It would take years for societal differences in the Nigerian society to mean anything to an ex-may. A true believer in self sufficiency and discipline. A no respecter of the thieving rich in Nigeria.
We are not to judge, as a christian I know an atheist or agnostic is considered a fool. But I sincerely think that in that far cranny of his heart, that Dr. Tai believed in God.

We know how "objective" athiest can be, not only will they isolate single verses for their godless intentions, in reading the Qur'an, verses are not to be read in isolation, from the above you see how a myopic atheist reads his own interpretation into the verse, the verse indicates that protecting oneself from danger is a must, defending ones right is a must, further reading the verse below:


"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help." [Noble Quran 4:75]

Note how this lame athiest has perpetually refused to address the issues raised instead, keeps deflecting the matters at hand, thank goodness, Nietzche is not my invention, Nieztche argued agaisnt Morality, by questioning the "abitrary" classifciation of Good and evil, hence his was simply re - enacting what atheist say, they live by ethic (which happen to fall from the sky grin grin grin), he further said "". . . evil impulses are just as useful. . . as the good".

We know how "objective" athiest can be, not only will they isolate single verses for their godless intentions, in reading the Qur'an, verses are not to be read in isolation, from the above you see how a myopic atheist reads his own interpretation into the verse, the verse indicates that protecting oneself from danger is a must, defending ones right is a must, further reading the verse below:

This is always the lame excuse. . .I laugh in Arabic. . . .


"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help." [Noble Quran 4:75]

I quoted Quran (2:216) which says that fighting is prescribed for Muslims, and they dislike it yet you come around fraudulently quoting Quran 4:75 as a further reading of the verse? I quoted from verse 2 and you quoted from verse 4 and call it a further reading of the verse?. . .You are a joke. . . .

Note how this lame athiest has perpetually refused to address the issues raised instead, keeps deflecting the matters at hand, thank goodness, Nietzche is not my invention, Nieztche argued agaisnt Morality, by questioning the "abitrary" classifciation of Good and evil, hence his was simply re - enacting what atheist say, they live by ethic (which happen to fall from the sky grin grin grin), he further said "". . . evil impulses are just as useful. . . as the good".

How many atheist today are living according to Nietzsche philosophy or promoting it? Name one atheist society today that is promoting Nietzsche philosophy or forever shut up mouth up. . . .By the way ethics are created by humans. No God has ever created any code or moral code of ethics. . .People create these systems and ascribe it to their various Gods. . . .The evidence is everywhere. . . .

008.013
YUSUFALI: This because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: If any contend against Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment.

When was the last time you saw Allah personally administering strict punishment on any body or group of persons? Last time I checked it was people that were figting for Allah and killing others they believed wrong him, no? The fact is Allah is imaginary and as such people who created that idea (Allah) are the ones that are always fighting and killing others for his cause. . . .You are completely deluded. . .

this verse again interpret what it is meant, but trust atheist, Satan has sat on their brains that they objectively lie to prove their points.

Who is satan, have you ever seen him? What does he look like and what language does he speak? Pls tell me how satan looks like. . .The confidence with which these deluded goons go about spewing age long mythologies with confidence is really mind boggling. . .What language does satan speak and how does he look like? Does he have bears?. . .

Well Nietzsche remains an authority and a point of reference for atheist explanation of their (misguided) view. One won't be surprise if some people became atheist for a green pass.

Who made him and atheist authority? You?. . . .

I am wasting valuable time in educating you, I showed you that Hitler was a Christian as long as it serve his political objective, your 98% seems to be your own invention, you are a mere joke in intellectual circles.

Educating me?. . . grin grin

I am wasting my time educating you, like i said before he was simply being political, Oh he got his idea of massacre from the heartless advise of Nietzsche, who even criticize human kindness, no? no? Hatred of Jews was a fad in Europe then,Hitler simply played on their hatred by feeding own their nationalism and myopia.

Which atheist society do you know that presently practice or promote Nietzsche philosophy and ideology?


 
I see you became an atheist to get a green pass, how pathetic, it seems this athiest society of yours does not have a name, may be in HIGH LAND does what you say exist, only one who suffers from wanton ignorance would deny that the the society he lives in eas not influence by religion, only a cassava eating illiterate will pretend that rights, fell from the sky, and then found its way to atheists, it is indeed laughale how "intecllectual" u are.  grin grin grin

Rights were made by humans, gay rights and animal rights for example were rights that were passed in most European countries not long ago. . .All laws and moral code of conduct were created by men and not Gods that is why they are not objective, they vary from place to place and are always evolving. . . .

I am forced to aviod replying your illogical response by restating my point:

Yes how absurd, it is to use the Osama, religion related violence etc to judge religion, I am simply gradually exposing the Hypocrisy of atheism, and I repeat Nietzche remains an authority in atheism as long as people like you and solarin makes straw based arguments.

Osama is NOT the only Muslim that believe in killing others as a religious duty. . .The Koran sanctions the killing of others as a religious duty and many Muslims the world over are still killing others as a religious duty in line with the teachings of the Koran. . .

We know who the clown is, as there is an Islamic methodology of reading the Qur'an, no amount of atheist ignorance will change that, in reading the Qur'an one must take cognizance of the fact, that certain verse explain other verse, that is the way the qur'an is read, Isolating verses for your myopic aims only shows the small mindedness of atheism, that is, a misguidance based on perverting the truth.

That is why we have people matching different verse and forming different doctrines all the time. . . .You have a a verse which is verse 2 that talks about Allah  prescribing fighting for Muslims, and they dislike it yet you come around fraudulently quoting verse 4 as a further reading of the verse? I quoted from verse 2 and you quoted from verse 4 and call it a further reading of the verse. . . .Why didn't you continue reading from verse two. You take a part of another verse to make it sound rational right? Why do people need to fight for Allah for anything in the first place? Why should Allah ever prescribe fighting for anybody if he truly exist and is all power as you guys claim? Why can he fight all the people himself since that he what he wants?. . . .

You do NOT need to believe in God to do good or evil because good or evil does NOT come from any God, humans sit down and decide what is good or what is evil. . .What is good today can be considered evil tomorrow and vice versa. . . .Will you show me any group of atheist that are promoting or living under the Nietzsche philosophy?

The koran sanctions killing of people that are unbelievers or disobedient. . .It sanctions the killing of apostates and unbelievers. . . .Unless if you are telling me that you understand the Koran and Arabic better than the Arabs that are killing people that world over as a relgious duty because of the verses they read in the Koran. . .verses such as. . . . Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.[/b]

Another injunction to fight unbelievers in the Koran. . . . Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."

Fight for Allah because the FACT is he does not exist as as such humans must fight for him since he is a man made (Idea). . . .People think they are fighting for Allah but in reality they are just fighting to promote the ideas of those that created the ideology(Allah). . .

Since the Ignoramus cannot clear himself of classical display of Ignorance, i go further to show another grievous evil of atheism:


State atheism has been defined as the official "promotion of atheism" by a government, typically by active suppression of religious freedom and practice.[1] An atheistic state is a particular kind of secular state.

State promotion of atheism as a public norm was first practised during a brief period in Revolutionary France. Since then, such a policy was repeated only in Revolutionary Mexico and some communist states. State atheism may include active opposition to religion, and persecution of religious institutions, leaders and believers. However, whether such persecution was truly motivated by atheism is disputed by others.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

The Soviet Union had a long history of state atheism,[8] in which social success largely required individuals to profess atheism and stay away from churches; this attitude was especially militant under Joseph Stalin.[9][10][11] The Soviet Union attempted to suppress religion over wide areas of its influence, including places like central Asia.[12] The Socialist People's Republic of Albania under Enver Hoxha went so far as to officially ban the practice of every religion.[13]


more on this soon.

He doesn't know how come about the name ALLAH yet he is defending the religion. It's a shame these religious people don't ask questions nor do some research on their religions - to find out about the very truth.

There's this cliche that the good goes to heaven and the bad goes to hell. Religion imagination about afterlife is interestingly powerful yet deceitful because it lacks all facts.

Please, those books are traditions and histories of people and nations.
