naijadeyhia:Let's assume u are right, and that's the definition God ment, why would he be protective or defensive? who is he competing with. The protect something means u are afraid it might be taken from u. If u claim it is the devil, is God not greater than he he does not need to protect his special ones against a lower being since he already has a plan for us. So protection in this case would mean he interfers in our activities which questions free will. Why would he be watchful if everything is going spontaneously to God's plan, then being watchful is unnecessary and irrelevant unless he is not sure of his plan. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

ValentineMary: First of all you cannot assume i am right because you know i am right which is why you are now changing your tone so stop trying to further your lies. If you still cannot see where i said the other gods are not Gods focus but the israelites are because they had already been exposed to the gods in Egypt then you have further proven your unintelligent nature to me and everyone else. |

naijadeyhia:If u are admitting ur definition is right, then u agree that God is not omniscient as explained above. At bold text are u saying that God is jealous the isrealites might run off and worship a non existing being (because he said I am the only one and there is none beside me) Ur God has a funny way of doing things. He is now jealous of non existing entities as defined by naijadeyhia 3 Likes 1 Share |

ValentineMary: Your zero intelligence is a huge mountain you need to surmount before you can engage in any sensible discussion with anyone. Action is different from reality. Why would the Children of israel worship images made with hand and believe in it when there is a living God who they already knew about long before they became captives to Egypt. When we say gods it does not mean those entities are alive and Gods equal or even a contender. No! Again its not the gods that is the problem but the intent of the heart of the Israelites because if they had a flawed focus they would not get the best from God almighty and just like you are doing, they would assume God is not real. Its all about loyalty and nothing else. You really lack comprehension because again you are using the word JEALOUS wrong again even after i have repeatedly corrected you and you took my correction now you are back to square one with it again. smh |

am0sn0nyu: That is my point, you are trying to narrow the definition of tribalism, remember it is an english word not a Nigerian one. There is nothing wrong in identifying your tribe, but unfortunately that is not the reality of things. I would have understood if you are trying to encourage healthy tribalism as against a destructive one one not telling us "tribalism only means one thing and nothing is wrong with it". |

naijadeyhia:Am sure it's obvious to anyone reading this who the dumb one is. Again u prove ur God is insecure about non existing things. Why should he need worship badly? a perfect being has no need for worship since he is already perfect. But since ur God desires worship so much and would punish anyone thag would not give it to him this is an act of insecurity and contradicts the definition of jealous u gave earlier. Let me ask u a honest qus. Do u think before u type with the excessive hate speech, I doubt. U are emotionally driven not intellectually driven. 1 Like |

Re: Things Humanity Could Do Better Without Religion by Nobody: 5:28pm On Aug 20, 2016 |
ValentineMary: Smh. au contraire madame... its obvious to everyone reading objectively that you are just bent on winning an argument instead of learning and admitting to your error. God isnt desperate for worship as you assume. You on the other hand are desperate for attention unlike God who remains God with or without worship. You are the insecure one as you shift goalposts randomly just to get a latch to hold on to. If you do think before you type then that would be a eureka moment for you but i doubt you do as all you do is ramble on while looking for a loophole to exploit and when you see none you turn around and call the person a liar when its clear who the liar is here even after repeated corrections on the context of the word JEALOUS being referred to. By the way let me ask you this, why do you spend so much time trying to explain or argue the content of scripture with everyone, me inclusive when you already have the solid foundation that the one mentioned in the scriptures (GOD) does not exist? Does this not show you as being the one emotionally driven beyond the control of your intelligence? If indeed you say something does not exist why bother about it so much? You claim to be a scientist so do you go back to an experiment which you have already proven to be false to try to to write a 500 page book on? Stop deceiving yourself and stop being emotional. God exists and you need to intelligently deal with that and not emotionally. |

naijadeyhia: It is obvious u have no more points to make because many things u said here contradicts what u said earlier. I bother about it because silly things are dont in its name. |
Re: Things Humanity Could Do Better Without Religion by Nobody: 5:44pm On Aug 20, 2016 |
ValentineMary: I bother about you because you may soon require psychiatric evaluation for assuming that silly things are done in Gods name whom you say does not exist . Just like your argument which to me is silly is being done in your name. |

I have scanned some of the recent posts. I will make a few comments 1) Someone mentioned Pascal's wager. Unfortunately, that person (acclaimed atheist) was the first person to mention it here. That notwithstanding, If other theories as proposed by same Pascal was accept in scientific fields, where would you want to reject this particular proposition? 2)Some have mentioned the fact of morality and from whence it can be derived. My thoughts are simple. Object morality can only be derived and must be valid in all conditions. As an example, F=ma is valid in all systems. Even quantum mechanically, Hamiltonians are proposed with respect to a particles equation of motion. That said, it's impossible for you to live in a world where there's ONLY subjective morality. What I mean by this is simple. What might be immoral to you, could turn out to be moral for me. A lion preys on a Zebra in the wild, if the lion doesn't see any reason to feel bad, what reason do I have not to prey on a fellow human? To the Lion, he's just getting his meal, to the Zebra, he's being made food. Life in the wild continues. Man needs an OBJECTIVE source of morality which can't be obtained in the Lab, in parliament or in the street. 3) I have observed the view of most people here is an expectation of a being in the flesh as God, a God who constantly interferes in the affairs of men. Where was God when so and so people were murdered? What did God do when so and so PERSON did so and so. While this still borders on my second point above, it is pertinent to know that God is outside the concept of spacetime therefore trying to understand him using the principles governing this part of spacetime is an exercise in futility. I also see beyond this particular question, a people who would prefer being robots controlled by God, with him determining everything they do. It's hard to believe that's the kind of life you would want. Same people have the ability to have this discussion are the ones expecting God to interfere in everything Hmmmmm I rest my case for now |

@Cloud goddess, I love the part where you described religion as a child holding on to his "stuffed animal"!!! Comparing religion to Humanism is like comparing human feces to human faces!!! Humanism should be placed on a throne, while religion should be relegated to the dust-bin!!! 1 Like
