hopefulLandlord:

this question doesn't relate to the discussion and I refuse to answer till you show how it does

You know when I was offline I'm asking myself what are we arguing about? NOTHING.

buh u'r arguing with ur own comment

hopefulLandlord:


this is sad and you're making me feel engaging you is a waste of my time cuz it seems you don't understand my point

I said its one of the most stupid words ever and I BUTTRESSED THAT BY EXPLAINING WHY ITS STUPID!!!

I did this by asking if Christians feel they're disobeying Vishnu by eating cowmeat, understand?

a Christian would then have to challenge the explanation by arguing they intentionally eat cowmeat JUST for the purpose of disobeying Vishnu

failure to do so makes them agree that they are simply living their lives by eating meat and don't care if Vishnu is being disobeyed or not, which would agree with my assertion and prove the statement is stupid on its own

atheists are disobeying god sounds like "Hopefullandlord is disobeying Purem's mother by doing what she doesn't want Purem to do"

do you understand now? or do I need to explain further?

So bro I will just agree with ur point which am still yet to know.

Re: How To Be An Atheist by purem(m): 5:37pm On Aug 14, 2017
(9.)DON'T BELIEVE IN A DEITY.

That simple. No prayer, no worship. Consider your stance on the following statements:
Evolution exists, and events occur based on coincidence and happenstance.
No man in the sky dictates your actions or the events around you.
Fate and destiny are myths.
Many atheists are still open to possibilities and acknowledge that there is a lot left to discover. For example, there was a time that we couldn't see germs and science had not even conceived of their existence: that did not mean they didn't exist, only that their existence had not yet been discovered and scientifically validated. Rational atheists are open to new scientific discoveries but reject God as an explanation for things they don't understand.

(11.)ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NATURE OF BEING.


With regards to mortality, most religions offer explanations that can be described as metaphysically dualistic: that there exist two distinct spiritual realities, not necessarily conforming to each other's laws of time and space — e.g. Heaven and Earth.
Materialism can leave some people feeling empty and spiritually ungrounded. However, atheism does not have to be such a bleak affair! Thinkers such as Heidegger, Kierkegaard, and Sartre pioneered the Existentialism movement in the early 1900s, readdressing the spiritual void left by atheism and capitalist industrial society. They presented a new way of looking at the human being — as an animal that transcends his/her animality through the capacity for free will.
Consider that the essence of "being" can lie in making your own choices, respecting the choices of others, and avoiding being consumed by unwanted routines and commitments. Purposeful being can consist of transcending, innovating, and breaking the rules. The essence of your existence is the ability to decide who and what you want to be. You are free!

you called me arrogant and Chemystry challenged it with the below post

chemystery:
purem, it is evident you are here for attack.
Why the assumption that hopefullandlord is arrogant? Can you point out any display of his arrogance on nairaland?

you then replied with the below

purem:

U shud check his comments and posts to see more

chemystry then said

chemystery:

I have not seen any so show me one

then you replied by posting a screenshot of my first post on this thread as an example of my "arrogance" and I replied that assertion, how's that post of mine an arrogant one? I want to learn

Do you see why I said your confusion has horns? Right here in your comment you began with a denial of your very own comments and further down you accepted your comment but termed it a slip of tongue. No be only slip of tongue na slip of finger.

How can a human being first deny an actual comment he made and then in the same breath accept that he made it but placed it under "slip of tongue" if such a person isn't confused?

Your horns are growing!
no longer dropping of faith as excuse. Its now denial. Bro, your god failed his existences test woefully. Go and rest like your goons are already doing.

OtemAtum:
If I am wrong, then it means Atum is wrong, all my personal experiences are wrong, the betterment of my life since leaving religion is an illusion, all the 20 ailments I have before leaving religion and listening to Atum are wrong, the revelation of afterlives I saw are wrong, even though I came across Eusebius whom I never knew on earth until my near death experience, maybe the sudden consciousness of happenings of billions of years I see and write are wrong, maybe what Atum told me about Samuel Ekwueme being a scammer is wrong and maybe I don't even exist at all.

For me to believe that I'm wrong means I have to disbelieve all the aforementioned reality of my life too and then I can't even imagine what I would look like cool
I have been following this circus for some time now. Atum is wrong and you know it.
This accusation is criminal in the extreme and a ploy to destroy an innocent man.

OtemAtum, what is going on ? I thought you were much more responsible than this.
You claim to have a few mentally diseased Atheists for witnesses. A court of law would never accept their testimony. Not after the Scientific findings were released to the world, that Atheism is a mental disease.

Explain why two people are criminally accused, two different persons with different monikers, with the same
real name Samuel Ekwueme

1) In one post it says; "Samuel Ekwueme the nairaland scammer aka Butterflylion"

2) In another post https://www.nairaland.com/4070514/brain-needs-upgrading-pay-money#60698438 you say, "4evergod is a very good example of this. He built a Lego of trust for himself, gets contacted for jobs, ended up scamming people, absconded nairaland. His real name, according to OtemAtum is samuel Chinedum ekwueme.

Yes o. Why the xtians and muslims see me as evil is majorly because their own god Yahweh doesn't appear as the first cause but rather as one of the created beings in the compilation of what I know(the doctufos). But they shouldn't have reasoned that way, at least I am not writing things in my own head down, but things I got from a source which has transformed my life and made me what I am now through the opening of my brain to inaccessible stuffs.

But no matter how they rant, it has come to stay and even Yahweh their god and fictitious Jesus cannot do anything about it.

philosophy and science can be treated separately...... Philosophy do not follow scientific pattern or scientific method of evaluation.... Philosophy precced science... Science use to be called natural philosophy but it branch off making main philosophy an entire independent dicipline on its own... Philosophy is all about intellectual taught and rigorous thinking...

you are not getting it... Philosophy preceded science.... The pattern of truth seeking of philosophy and science are entirely difference.... Philo sophia.... Love of wisdom aim to seek truth through critical thinking without any particular standard or method... It can be from idea.,observation and taught experiment while scienctific method is entirely base on empirical or measurable evidence.... Philosophy can be study alongside science.....

To close the argument check this out

"Ideally, science is one sub-field of philosophy, where "philosophy" covers all human knowledge. The boundaries aren't exactly defined but roughly speaking science is the study of the consistent, observable features of the world."

When you give knowledge to the unwise, they get confused and think that you are the confused one. This truth you are rejecting is what millions of people will still come to realize that GOD ALMIGHTY is beyond Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Mazda or any other religious god. Peace.

It's not a court stuff. When I first said that Samuel Ekwueme was a scammer far way back six months before he was eventually reported so, no one believed me. Then when it happened to be so, people wonder. You'll also wonder when you eventually know the truth. I don't do court stuff. I do psychospiritual stuff and I don't talk about things I'm not yet 100% sure of.

I thoroughly enjoy your highly informative posts. I wont dream of derailing here, I am pressed for time, allow me to insert this here.
Vaxx, this book may interest you.
In this book "The Irrational Atheist," The author Vox Day plays the card that the atheists consider their trump—reason—against them in a devastating and highly entertaining manner. With clarity and wit, he presents a wealth of evidence to demolish the arguments put forward by the leading ‘brights’ of the day.” including the prophet of modern Atheism Richard Dawkins.

you have not even ask what psychospirituality I was talking about is all about. Well, here is it. There is definitely a spirit realm, they are there going about their lives same way we here are going about our lives. But here, we bother too much about them, wanting to please them, fearing them, worshipping them while they don't give a fvck about most of us here. The psychology aspect of it is what we can apply to ourselves to heal ourselves when we are sick, wriggle our way through things, make others our followers, etc. The psychology part of life is applied in the hospital for healing, curing, etc. It is also applied by the wise in standing threats, etc.

LIFE ON EARTH IS MORE OF "GO TO THE HOSPITAL" OR "MEDITATE TO HEAL YOUR SELF"(psychology) than "GO TO A PASTOR" or "GO TO A SELF-ACCLAIMED SPIRITUALIST TO BE HEALED"(spiritual).

More healings take place through meditation and medication than through the false way of religion and spirituality.

(5) UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ATHEISM AND AGNOSTICISM.


An atheist does not believe that a god/gods do exist. Most atheists observe that there is no proof that a god/gods exist. Because there is no verifiable evidence that a god/gods exist, they do not incorporate a god/gods into their decision making. Agnostics do not believe it is possible to know of the existence of a god or gods.
You do not have to be anti-religion. Most atheists, however, do disapprove of organized religion as well as the doctrine of faith as a virtue. There are others who still attend religious services for their own reasons, such as an agreement with some of the moral tenets, membership in a community, or even just a fondness for the music.
You do not have to write off the possibility of unverified or unverifiable phenomena. You can acknowledge that they are possible without insisting or acting as if they are true, or trying to convince others that they are true.
You do not have to subscribe to any set of beliefs. Atheism is not a religion. Atheists hold a wide variety of beliefs and outlooks, the only similarity being a lack of belief in a god or gods.

Muslims and Christians must never ever commit the sin of bowing to Atheists demands to "PROVE" the existence of God. God has already proven it to them. Let them prove to themselves that God don't exist !!!!

I have never committed this SIN. Who remembers the command, "DO NOT THROW YOUR PEARLS TO THE SWINE?"
