plaetton: Here is the complete image.

This painting by Michelangelo was commissioned by one of the popes for the Sistine chapel.
It appears that that the genius used this opportunity to play the biggest joke on the pope.

What do you notice in the image?

It shows the image of god inside what is undoubtably, the human brain.
Do you get the joke?

It seems that Michelangelo was using imagery to tell the pope that god was residing and confined to the prescincts of the human mind.

This is just brilliant.

Nice thinking.

What we know about god comes from our religious knowledge, which is basically all in the mind and nowhere else.

Thats a broad topic on its own that may derail this thread.

Thanks for sharing that thot.

chukwudi44: Yeah I do remember.That was in the middle of 2008,then I was fresh from NYSC and new to lagos.So how your side? Are you still in awka?

Yea, I'm still there...I'm glad you still remembered.

What's up with you?

obadiah777: now i am a jihadist for christ ? scripture do say ISAIAH 5 VS 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, so if Yahawah says i should fly a plane through Aso rock, it must be a good thing

here we go again!
Looks like we will have to deconvert you to islam.

chukwudi44: Btw I've met chukwudi44...that was around 2007/2008...I was still in Lagos then.

He told me he was a nairalander...he even told me his user name...the name didn't actually ring a bell then because I wasn't very regular in this section.

He may have forgotten, but I'm sure if he comes online and I call one or two familiar places, he would remember.

Yeah I do remember.That was in the middle of 2008,then I was fresh from NYSC and new to lagos.So how your side? Are you still in awka?

^^^
hmmm! That says alot.

"2008 fresh from NYSC"

i see.

CrazyMan: Too be honest, I'd love to meet everyone...this religion section has really enlightened me, thanks to the dedicated members.

So like I stated earlier, we could take a huge leap of faith by organizing a get together mini party for ourselves.

Now allow me to draw the program menu.

Mr Anony and ihediobi would minister...

Buzugee would crack jokes for us...

Delafruita, logicboy, cyrexx, mkmyres45, plaetton and wiegraf would sing hymns for us.

Tipa@ would sweep the floor and ensure that the place is kept tidy...

Bella3 and jesoul would be ushers...they would smile and usher people to their seats.

Joagbaje and ola would be in charge of the tithe and offerings.

Frosbel, truthislight, deep sight and ijawkid would be our counselors, their job would be to council people.

Goshen 360, muskeeto, evil brain and reyginus would be in charge of our musical equipment.

What say ya all...

musKeeto: People I'd like to meet
Deepsight
Plaetton
Wiegraf
M_Nwankwo
JeSoul

Won't want to meet Obadiah till his next reincarnation, hopefully He'll be Isaiah or Ezra, who knows?
As for Logicboy, probably when the fire of atheism that burns so brightly in his bones dim a bit.. He'll probably sew bigger balls onto my nutsack..

Spoken to Anony once. My arm hurt from holding my phone, we spoke for two hours. Surprisingly, we share some history, he knows a lot of the people that I do.

Would like to meet Goshen360, Frosbel, Ijawkid and Truthislight and Ola in a wrestling ring. Throw a Bible in and watch them tear it apart...

Then, of course, Bella and mkmyers.

Brother, I love to meet you and many others and it will surely happen one day, no matter how long it takes.

@ Everyone,

I will love to invite all and throw a party anytime I visit the motherland. They ONLY thing I can assure you all is pounded yam + egusi/spinach soup cooked with bush meat (Grasscutter, that is my family business) and thereafter, a visit to the beach and some historic sites in my hometown, Badagry, Lagos State. But my fear for "some" of you that will attend is that you don't sell your birthright after eating the proposed meal......

Y'all wonderful people.

That's my girl...very intelligent...I love that.

Bélla3: Another long throat!

Food is the only thing that keeps a man going in life...therefore if you abuse food, it would deal mercilessly with your appearance.

Goshen has decided to wage war against hunger...the best we can do is to give him our support by consuming every dish on sight.

MacDaddy01:
I was anxious to see what Anony looks like.

The anxiety was building.

I was a bit calmed when I saw his face.

Anony wasnt a bald old man like I expected. It was a young guy

I have always suspected this. You cannot imagine my shock when I first beheld Deepsight. The guy is WAY younger than I ever imagined. And VERY attractive too,if I may add.

I was like, "shuuuuuu, so all that big big girama and intelligence is coming from so young a person ??"

MacDaddy01:
However, Anony is slightly different from his online character.

Aren't we all. . .?

MacDaddy01:
My conclusion is that Anony really understimated me at first (maybe because he thought that I was probably an energetic teenager)

That's 'cos you always act like one. Heck, they say you are as old as you feel, so you,Logicboy a.k.a MacDaddy01, ARE probably an energetic teenager at heart

MacDaddy01:
A warning to any atheist that wants to debate Anony in reality;
-Anony has a particular strength when it comes to debating. The strength is that he is good at breaking down your points and pick off your definitions and premises one by one. Never expect a fair debate and you should understand your stance. Anony is also a houdini, he has escape tactics and so, your arguments should be well rounded.

Yeah,dats wazup. Sounds like an intelligent fellow. Definitely someone I'd like to meet

MacDaddy01:
I am happy to have met him and my one particular advice to him is to learn how to make his points quickly because he is very slow in making his points.

Hmmmm,so the dude tested your patience a bit, huh? For someone like me with an hyper active imagination,if you are listening to someone who is slow in making their point like Anony, the polite thing to do is to tune out while your mind rigmaroles the four corners of the earth, while being conscious enough to inject the "humphs!" and "Ahhhhs..." in the right places.

MacDaddy01:
I think we Nairaland religion section guys and girls should meet up because we are all people looking for answers.

Indeed we are...

I would really love to meet Martian to quench my curiousity about how he is off NL. That guy gives me the creeps.

MacDaddy01:
I am very happy to meet Anony.

I'm sure you are.

Why do I have this feeling you are an easygoing fellow of NL??

MacDaddy01:

(However, avoid people who are dangerous like the moderator that resides in the other section, who believes all infidels are below him)

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!

You want make dem ban you for 60 years like they did to some valiant members of the NL garri squad??

cyrexx:
Macdaddy, pls tell us more about this wonderful man. Pretty please

Dude, this sounds so gay. . .

MacDaddy01:


I have realised that we are mostly young people on Nairaland, myself just recently being an ex-student.

Don't be so sure. aletheia is a lot older than a lot of us

wiegraf:
Honored bro! I'm a d**k though, most of the time.

What a curious way to describe oneself. . .
