Xmuslim: Very few religious people are humble. Their religion tells them that only their beliefs are true. Only their God is the real god. Imagine someone that has never studied buddhism, hinduism, Bahaism etc claiming that their religion is true. You haven't studied other religions but your religion is the best. Lol 2 Likes 1 Share |

whitelotus: Are you humble with your humanism concept? Coca-Cola is the world's best! Because they are everywhere! You mentioned three major religions practiced in the east, they've been around for Thousands of years yet their ideology remains in the east! Jehovah's Witnesses began in the 1870s and today they've made so much impact on people from all nations (including those in the east) Please let them Bring their religion to my doorstep. Penetrate nations and change people. Disarm their members globally. Unite their members who comes people from all nations as one family. All these Jehovah's Witnesses have done throughout the earth within less than 150 years! So Stop deceiving yourselves! |

Maximus69: 1. I am humble enough to say that I do not know how and why the universe came into being. 2. I am humble enough to say that I do not know what happens after death 3. I am humble enough to admit my beliefs are not perfect and I could be wrong. You, on the other hand believe that your church is the only true church. Your God is the only true God. You know that God created the universe. You know that you can never be wrong. You believe all these things without even understanding any other religion. You believe all these things without proof or logic. 4 Likes 1 Share |

whitelotus: Very true. I was pointing out errors in the Qur'an and hadith to a Muslim friend and she told me I don't have such right because I am not a Muslim scholar (I have little knowledge about Islam). I should not try to understand Qur'an on my own bla bla bla. I asked her why was she not a Christian, she said because there are contradictions in the bible and Christian worship jesus...bla bla bla. I told her it's enough. Then asked her if she's a Christian scholar. Of course, she knew the game was over . Her only response was that she is sure about Islam and any apparent errors are always cleared by knowledgeable scholars. I realised the indoctrination in her is extreme and her reasoning ability is low 3 Likes 2 Shares |

whitelotus: Of course you can't know any of these things if you don't humble yourself to be teachable to gain insight! All these questions rings in the brains of honest hearted persons, but when we see someone who knows the answers we humble ourselves to gain from them. Throughout the earth today the figure 2 & 4 is known, we never asked questions about how these figures came to be drawn or who designed them yet if anyone from anywhere ask you now saying "what is 2+2?" You will enthusiastically respond "4" Do you know why? Because it's working and everywhere we are seeing the BENEFITS! Someone walks up to my door, greeted me with a friendly smile and asked me some thought provoking questions that's been ringing in my mind right from childhood. How do you think a normal person would feel at that? Of course happily you'll say "i've been wondering why these things are so", then my friend gave me a hint that spur my intellect into thinking deep by presenting a seemingly fitting answer to one of the questions. Surely i'm still a bit sceptical, then he promised to come next time, this continued until we both became close friends. And as times goes by i begin to see that what i'm learning from the book he brought to me (Bible) is working out great achievements within them the ones that seems impossible throughout the earth. Please what further reason do i have to doubt the things WRITTEN in the book? I never doubted the figure 2 and 4 that's just written in books to solve problems in numerics, i never doubted the possibility of indispensable oxygen around me even though i can't see it, what reason do i have to doubt the existence of an all intelligent being, when i'm seeing the EFFECTS of his presence in the midst of his worshipers globally? Please i can only doubt what you are saying like this HUMANISM concept that's not working anywhere Sir, but as for JEHOVAH the invisible God spoken of by his WITNESSES, i have no reason whatsoever to doubt his abilities as explained by his WITNESSES! |

whitelotus: Links! Links!! Links!!! Well there were many of Jesus' disciples that turned their backs on him in the first century Sir. John 6:61-66 Just imagine what such ones will say about him after deserting him! So you are entitled to your own opinion! |

whitelotus:Optimistic nihilism is senseless. Your position has a fundamental problem(many actually). Subscribing to meaninglessness makes every argument and championing of logic over emotions and rationality and the scientific method over blind faith foolish and senseless, as both rationality and blind faith would equally be meaningless. But this is only the beginning of your problems. If life is meaningless, Is your conclusion that life is meaningless also a meaningless conclusion? Or is it meaningful, with you miraculously exempting your high and mighty conscious existence from the other things out there? If life is meaningless, how come you know it? Eh? And more and more and more. Nihilism is an illogical position that collapses upon itself. But maybe this too is meaningless eh? |

odinson1: The Universe was not created by a God per sae. It is a holographically simulated reality from cosmic computing by a Super AI and yes there is a Designer/Super Programmer that administers this Prometheus hosing Machine if I may say so. God or Deity may be a reset function within the system control that has its assigned role by the programmer or might just be a character in the play. But tht being said. This is a simulation of the real world, this is not the real world . The real world is far more beautiful than this simulated version which we are simply robots and observers in humanoid meat |

Atheist are one of the most silly people on earth,how can you say there is no God when your own existence is a great testimony, everything about creation was apparently planned and was in order,have you ever study the anatomy of man and observed the complexity system by which organs interact with each other perfectly, I repeat again atheist are dumb |

whitelotus:Actually sir, optimistic nihilism is not a philosophical term and it's not a position within nihilism. It's a term that is very new(post 2017 I believe) and it's something that was coined by and only used by laymen internet bloggers(a very unreliable source of information I might add). It's not a term you would find used in any academic paper, used by any real philosopher or taught as a position in nihilism by any reputable body within philosophy (if you have any peer reviewed paper to the contrary, I would be more than happy to take a look at it). The reason why you do not see any real paper or real philosopher talking about optimistic nihilism is because even the term alone is an oxymoron. Nihilism though a bit of a complex concept can essentially be boiled down to the: "Philosophical position which argues that Being, especially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value." In its most basic form "everything is meaningless" There are many schools of thought within nihilism like moral, mereological Nihilism, passive/active nihilism but optimistic nihilism is not one of them. It's just something some people on the internet made-up as an outlet to make nihilism more palatable to themselves and others who do not understand nihilism at all just latched unto it without realising what they are latching unto. |

The world is full of hatred caused by racism and politics, gross immortality has led to so many evil deeds resulting in broken marriages, greed and the love of fame is destroying our youths, most children are becoming rebels in the homes, juvenile delinquencies is a global problem. So religion has been working round the clock to curb the excesses of all these if it can't stop them. My question is What is Atheism doing to help since it's a faculty that's bringing together people from all races? Thanks! whitelotus: |

MaxInDHouse: What do u expect atheists to do about global problem? So because someone, after observing, questioning and reasoning through, decides that he does not think God exists because he is yet to find proof, therefore he should be the one solving world global problems? What are architects doing about world global problem? 1 Like |

frank317:Any sane person who wants to address thought provoking questions from other sane individuals should be prepared to prefer solution to problems we are experiencing globally, after all that's what is affecting all of us whether you think there's some skydaddy up there or not! So because someone, after observing, questioning and reasoning through, decides that he does not think God exists because he is yet to find proof, therefore he should be the one solving world global problems?Come on, religion has been working round the clock to find solution to so many problems affecting mankind, therefore if someone says he doesn't believe in the existence of God it's ok but then the OP said "ask questions" meaning he is prepared to prefer something better than what religion was doing for centuries! What are architects doing about world global problem? I think architects aren't dealing with what's in the hearts of people, even the most stupid person knows that the only creature causing problem on this planet is humans yet we are the most intelligent amongst all the living things on the planet. So it's proper we find a way to solve the problem we brought upon other living things at least to prove that our brains can think of better thing than devices of mass destruction! |
Re: I Am An Atheist And A Humanist. Ask Me Anything! Let's Talk! by frank317: 1:53pm On Dec 05, 2020 |
MaxInDHouse: Well, i see no relationship between someone being an atheist and world global problem. He is only here to answer question on atheism and not world global problem. I think that is more of a political problem.
U cant claim God the creator exist, i mean u claim someone is in charge, yet u are working round the clock to solve problems. Its either u are not sure God exist or u just want to believe God exist for the sake of it. And no Mr man, ask question does not automatically mean he is here to proffer solution to world problem biko. He is only trying to explain misconceptions about atheism. Finding solution to world problem is not what this thread is all about... Reread ur reply on the stance of an architect and act accordingly. 1 Like |

The OP is clear enough Sir when he said "as me ANYTHING, let's talk" I don't know why you suddenly turned yourself into his mouthpiece instead of allowing him to speak for himself! And i never brought forward the issue of a skydaddy, so leave it for now and allow the person who demanded for questions attempt it Sir! frank317: |
