They're only exercising their freedom. After all, they say, it's a free world.

Fvcknames:
Lol thanks

You're welcome, bro. I just love realists; and judging by your comments here you're one.

Empiree:
Can any history teacher explain this ...!!!

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both their wives lost a child while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners

The successors of both Presidents are named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."

Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the "kicker":

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

AND...................:

Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theatre...

Worth sharing...
Its incredible.�

These couldn't have been coincidences. Na wa oo..

This Bello guy is about the worst governor I know. He is sheer evil with a mind riddled with Schadenfreude.

human stupidity.....whao that is good , send me the link....if you think you are rational for not believing in GOD .... you are deceiving yourself.....TO me all religion are valid , though i may disagree with some of their doctrine but so long it spread peace and love....it is valid...

A non believer of GOD to me is worst than an ingrate

Wow!! Apt and subtle.

Fvcknames:
I'm not talking on behalf of all atheists, but I used to argue against religion, but mostly Christianity.
I had my reasons
I live in a Christian environment, my parents are Christians, and it affects me so much, from my point of view, it has it's benefits but has it's disadvantages (which I think is more[personal opinion]).
I'm forced to go to church, I don't force people not to go to church, my mum is the most religious person I know, she can pay her full salary in church with no back up 4 the month, it affects her.I'm forced to stay up 4 vigils cuz of something I don't believe in.If I tell my parents I'm an atheist, our relationship is as good as dead. Everything is taken in the spiritual context. You are busy during the weekdays, you have just Saturdays and Sundays to relax or do whatever, but one of the days would be sacrificed, you might even go 4 one practice or the other on Saturday too. I know other people that'll be doing far better without christianity, so I just try to make people see reason. I don't really know any Muslims so I tried to reason with the religious people around me(who were Christians).
I bet if I came from a Muslim background and I became an atheist I'd be arguing against Islam and all.
But then everything is a waste of time. Everyone thinks they are right and everyone else is wrong. I might be wrong 4 all I care, I'm an atheist because I feel the evidence points to the fact that there is no God, but I could be wrong, no one knows 4 sure.
I think it's very rare 4 an atheist to become a Christian and vice versa from just arguments, cuz everyone is just trying to defend their own view no matter what. The argument is started with the attitude of I'm right and you're wrong. I feel anyone that becomes an atheist or Christian has to do his own thinking, so all this is a waste of time(my opinion)

This is the best comment from an atheist I have read on this forum.

Naijawebmaster:
Misleading headline....why is English such a difficult thing for some persons

Because no be their mother tongue.

Akin1212:
So you're saying truth is what individuals accept it to be?

That's not true.

Of course not. Stereotype, prejudice, emotions, methodology, vanity and what not, or lack of the true knowledge of 'truth' itself makes it seem so.

This will need to be expatiated to drive home my points, but I, certainly, can't do that now.

My believe is: truth does not have to make sense for it's the truth. Untruth/falsehood, on the other hand, has to for acceptability or believability.

Nonso92:
So you're comparing yourself with an animal?

The natural instinct of a wild animal (predator) is to either be defensive when threatened or attack.

Man (Higher Animal), you can make a choice to attack, or just walk away. Or better still, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Higher or lower, animal na animal. That's if you believe you be animal.

Akin1212:
Lol, the use of grammar doesn't validate that you speak the truth. Reality is demonstrable always. That is why it is called REALITY.
However, if you have your own subjective perception of that which is real, mention it here let's see.

You're right.
But take for example: how do I prove to a Christian prophet Muhammad SAW wasn't a charlatan, using the holy Quran? If you understood my question you'd see what I'm driving at.

LordReed:
When you are ready to demonstrate it instead of making noise hit me up.

You're stooping so low giving invectives. Another disappointment from a supposedly well-enlightened atheist.

Some things are indemonstrable and non-descript; and can not be qualified or quantified.(Axiom: a self-evident truth.)

You lot can enjoy your illusory mental freedom, for now, till realities come crashing and bring you down to earth. After all experience, they say, is the best teacher.

Have a nice weekend, reed.

Aliencraft:
Welcome to reality
Play 3 games, 1 will cut it
Play 2 games, 1 will cut it
Play 1 game, 1 will cut it
In fact play don't play any game 1 will still cut it..
Bliv me, u can't beat d bookies

This is absolutely hilarious, man.

LordReed:
You can demonstrate where truth does not comport to reality or tell me the last time you prayed for the sun to rise.

I like that. I was actually expecting ingenuity in your definition, for I thought atheists were independent thinkers, but the definition actually smacks of mundaneness. I reckon it was laid down by consensus among atheists.

The definition would be right, if only it stops taking reality as a constant. There are realities you would find inconceivable.

LordReed:
I love this definition: truth is what comports to reality. My personal take: any truth that requires faith to operate is fake.

Your definition of truth exemplifies atheistic parochialism. It is limited and contrived but, then again, it's merely an opinion and should engender little or no fuss.

LordReed:
I'd rather live without fear thank you very much.

It wasn't a counsel, my friend. I love atheist's arguments, by the way. They endeavour to make sense of the whole shebang there is. However, the truth doesn't need to make sense 'cos it's just the truth.

As long as you live you're never truly free. If you're free you won't spend your valuable time contesting a so-called non-existent entity. Atheists should quit their delusions of grandeur and accept that they as much shackled as their religious counterparts.

abdulkayus:
Auto repair, u mean mechanic for cars? If it is that, u have no problem with that area, cos it is a huge business in kano. U can go into selling of spare part which has a main headquarters in Kofar ruwa and dominated by both the Igbos and hausas but especially the Igbos. U can also go into repair in which there are hundreds or even thousands of garages spread around in kano metropolis, which is especially dominated by the Yorubas, but the hausas are also going into it now little by little.
Major cars that are being repair here in kano are Honda, then Toyota,(Japanese cars), Peugeot, Mercedes benz and others also. Auto repair is a huge business here: panel beating, electric works, alignments, paint and others.
Have some friends that are into it.

All right, then. Thanks

I'm actually into car diagnostics(done with a scanner), and wiring and related works. Thanks, again.

labani06:
please take this in a simple language all imams in the ka'aba take picture all the populer shuyuk in Nigeria snapped alot of pictures in alot of major ceremonies at last .what is photography ? it means writing with light "photo=light ,graphy =write ,draw "

and dont forget all of those shaik use that fatwa that photographing is makruh no deeds no sin . but building statue no doubt is a sin because we are all made from mud and all those statue builders use mud or anything from sand .
but if u snapped a pic dont post on the wall of ur living room or anywhere in ur house .

I think our opinions on this are aligned, if I get you right.

labani06:
But their are alot of fatwas on snapping pics as not haram please consult any ustaz for more information

If drawing is tagged haram, it would be because it borders on the art of creating. But photography is simply capturing the light from an object and projecting it on a collector. So I'm confused as to how that would be haram.

DeSepiero:
Well sincerely, I've stopped arguing with religious people about efficacy of purported witchcraft powers because they resort to threats.
Just like tamethem suggested, his task could easily make one vulnerable to deadly physical harm.
I've spent years in Ijebu so I know how they work. There was a shrine behind my apartment when I lived in Ijebu and the baba was my friend. These mischievous men could easily poison you or tactically smear you infectious concoctions upon contact. You'd not notice.
I'm a molecular biologist so I understand the dynamics of infectious agents. It takes a small prick of a tiny sharp object (easily a palm frond) laced with a lethal dose of these agents to deliver disease.
They'd of course boast of your impeding calamity having successfully carried out their mischief to which they already have an antidote. A classic case of creating and solving a problem.

This, right here, makes a world of sense.

Mowe, Lagos? Journalism going south.

abdulkayus:
U can relocate if you want. Business is moving on very fine. There are many cosmopolitan areas u can stay if u don't want to stay in core Hausa areas. Housing is cheap, cost of living is OK and security is guaranteed.

Of course I'm aware of the good security the North has got to offer. I'm getting some training in auto repair, but don't know if Kano would be a great place to launch myself in this new career path of mine.

Abuheekmat:
So in your own world .

You eat gaari and akamu.

You are so so dumb..

In fact you are a fool .

Get out of here..

It's your problem if you die worshipping Allah with what HE didn't order
It's your wahala if you die not following prophet Muhammad.


Foolish idiot


..see how he's mocking hadith rosul.

If you can't follow rosul.. . Then shut the hell up..
Idiot..

Don't mention me again..

In fact there should be block button on NL

Why are you throwing tantrum, and hurling invectives at me? Grammatically, you don't drink garri, but eat soaked garri.

Do you know why I don't get peeved at such infantilism and puerility and incivility that you have just demonstrated? 'cos you can only display your machismo on a faceless forum. In real life, you can't even look me in the eyes. What a joke.

I sight Marylin Monroe. What a lovely she was.

Abuheekmat:
You are the one that will prove that he ate with spoon NOT me. Av proven he commanded us to eat with 3 fingers just like he commands us to perform salah

So if I want to eat soaked garri or hot akamu I will still have to use three fingers? Abu, you're darn confusing.

All I want to know is whether Rosul SAW actually proscribed eating with spoon and eating implements in general?

abdulkayus:
Na wa oooo, and yet some people will open their mouth to be abusing and cursing the North up and down. I have said it and keep on saying it, North is far more secure than many states and cities in the south. Apart from boko haram issue in the extreme part of borno state, most state in the North are super safe.
Imagine on this thread, people saying that once it is 6pm, everyone should be home and not got out. Lol. Hahaha hahaha hahaha haha, when in kano here, 6pm is still like afternoon where everyone is moving around freely and some business moving on. Sometimes I do go home around 10 or 11pm without any fear of anything.
Last week, had a friend that travel to neighbouring Zaria around 9pm for pepper business and come back around 2am,without any hitches or fear of anything.
Omo, we dey e joy for this north oooo.

Guy, I have loved the North ever since my NYSC days in gida dubu, dutse, jigawa. Kano is actually my target, just don't know how to relocate there.

Abuheekmat:
Yes...


.
Rosul that separated eating with right hand and 3 fingers doesn't know what he's saying ACCORDING TO YOU ..

.
Eat with your right hand
Eat with your 3 fingers
Lick your 3 fingers after eating

Let's bring this to a rest now. I want you to provide a proof for the use of spoon for eating during Rosul time and when he forbade us from using them.

labani06:
please this hadith is talking to those people that are building statue,idol not snapping pics .

And drawing too. This has been my thought all along. I don't know where snapping pics dey for hadith. I'm getting tired of our absurdities.

After all, eating with your right hand doesn't necessarily mean eating with your fingers.

Abuheekmat:
Anything is eatable with 3 fingers. .


..
And of you use spoon, then you will lick your 3 fingers abi?

Is it a must to lick your fingers?

Abuheekmat:
Exactly..

Go read hadith on how to eat..

A man was told to eat with right hand . He said no. . Rosul then said he won't be able to lift his right hand and he can't . ( meaning it's ibaadah.. And eating with left hand is a sin)..

.
Now rosul said we should eat with 3 fingers and we should lick our fingers after eating..

That's also ibaadah. .


.
Changing that' 3 fingers to spoon is the same reason tesubah and other counting methods are shirk

But if I dey eat okele like eba, amala etc more fingers are involved in the eating. Is that also shirk?
But eating with a spoon can be achieved with just three fingers.

Abuheekmat:
Can you then relate any of your claims that CHANGE , REPLACED any part of worship?


What you eat is halal or haram and so is what you wear
How to eat is mode of worship and so is how you dress..

Understood?

So, eating with a spoon means changing an act of worship?
