Giiyaz: Biko Ndi be anyi..biko nu! Niqeria can't survive anoda Biafra war!! Hoi!!

Ewu. Can you read what you type before you post. If there is a new war, the objective would be to destroy Nigeria. Why are you crying it wont survive? Of course we don't want it to survive.

If you believe there are other gods we shouldn't worship and that there is a God that created everything, you are saying that God created these other gods.

Why?

musKeeto: @Lb and @Alfa

Just a bit curious. When you were religious, were there any anti-religious views that were offensive to you?

We wouldn't have been religious if there weren't. Would we?

tchaik: bros, either you are a mod, or you are simply being economical with the truth.

Or even worse: a boot-licking, hypocritical traitor.

wiegraf: We sort of have a middle ground, but not really. The situations are very similar, but also very different. Especially when it comes to victims. Hypothetically, no victims when assisted suicide is done right, not so with torture (even when done right). You're still harming someone, even if he oh so very clearly deserves it. The practical considerations are also rather different, would the torturers have to fill forms before they begin to water board you? What if it's a ticking bomb situation, like they mention?

Torture of course has to remain illegal, around the world no group could be trusted with this sort of power frankly. With assisted suicide, the more 'mature' societies should at least (vigorously) examine special cases. For those in torment with little chance of survival it's cruel in the extreme to have them live on, ie provided they make it clear they'd rather die with some dignity, more peacefully (consider, if of the wrong religion, they also have an eternity in some hell or the other waiting for them, no need to worsen their situation with more pointless suffering). Again, there are still practical considerations of course, but feasible in more 'advanced' countries.

There is a direct victim in euthanasia, albeit a willing one. But still a victim. If a terrorist knows that he would be tortured if captured, but still puts himself in a situation where he is captured and tortured, would you say he is not a victim as he brought it upon himself? I don't think so. There are also many collateral victims of euthanasia.

Not withstanding, my argument was more about human interests in euthanasia staying illegal despite its necessity in extremely rare occasions.

mazaje: ^^

I have posted so many things that are worse than this and non of them has been deleted or hidden. . .What exactly are you talking about?. . .If you have your personal beef with Jesoul, then thats btw you and her. . .But many atheist like me have posted insults, outright offensive statements and many more and non of my post has been hidden or deleted anywhere. . .The only time Jesoul deleted my post I called her out on it and my post was actually very offensive. . .No need beating a dead horse, as long as it is nairaland religion section atheist have the same freedom as christians to air their views. . .

And god created the world in 6 days. If you repeat it long enough, you'll start believing it.

^^^ Still below the number of people that claim they speak directly to god. So no proof.

Logicboy03: Imagine if Logicboy posted this....

If you did that, we would be speaking to Logicboy04 by now.

Uyi Iredia: In an atheism board.

Point it out to me please because I can't see it.

Uyi Iredia: BTW atheists have posted in threads made exclusively for Christians. So your statement falls flat.

Where should we create atheist threads?
