Chakula. I could ask you a question that cannot be answered factually - Who are you? You seem to be deliberately acting ignorantly. Although I'm no perpetuator of literal Christianity, there is plenty on the internet that describes what the Trinity is supposed to mean. Greek philosophy, ancient Egyptian religion and plenty of other belief systems have used a Trinity in their ethos. Instead of asking for a scientific rationale, try actually looking for the meaning behind it. Where religion is concerned, spirituality must be taken into account. Otherwise, you're no different from those who swallow everything that the Bible says as total and utter fact. |
You already drew that conclusion before apologising now, no?Apologise!!!! ![]() That's the best joke I've heard for ages. No. Perhaps you should apologise for perpetuating a myth lifted from a book of fairy tales that was copied from somewhere else as fact. And you still haven't answered my question. How are eye-witness reports no good when the whole of the Bible is purported to be nothing more than the same? That seems to be peurile hypocrosy. |
13 yr olds have intimacy and get pregnant, so where exactly does the damage lie??If you're so unintelligent that you have to ask that question, you're probably too unintelligent to understand the answer. |
I love how they use Carbon Dating as "proof" that the wood is 4800 years old. Since when did Creationists ever believe in Carbon Dating? ![]() |
m saying he hasnt broken any law except the one created in your heads- bring out the constitution and highlight what uve said- then we can talkSo you need something in the Constitution to tell you what is morally right or wrong? this is what is driving the country backwards white man says jump black man says how high- dont we have more to worry abt than a bunch of peoiple selling thier own children for money??No. What drives Nigeria backwards are those who try to hide behind outdated and immoral laws. As for worrying about children. As cliched as it sounds, they are the future of Nigeria. When you can understand that - then we can talk. |
In my eyes, he doesn't even have to defeat the claim. It is logically impossible that Noah's Ark existed as depicted in The Bible. Not only that but the whole Flood story is just a direct lift from the older Epic of Gilamesh and older myths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluge_%28mythology%29 As for knocking him for the comment about repeating the words of others. What do you think that the Bible does then? Cobwebs? How do cobwebs get 13000 feet up a mountain? Mountaineering spiders? https://www.wnd.com/images/arkcobwebs1.jpg |
as much as im not for what the man has done (its disgusting)- we shouldnt let personal opinions cloud our judgement, like someone mentioned the age of concensus ion other places- as 12- we cant condem the man because we dont agree with what he didJust because something was considered "right" a thousand years ago, does not mean that it is right today. And as for legal consent elsewhere, as many have pointed out, it does not involve a 60 year old man marrying and having intercourse with a 13 year old. You will find that those very few places that have such a low age of marriage consent only legitimise it if both parties are around the same age and normally if the girl is pregnant. Not only that but there is a very strict legal process that has to be followed. This has nothing to do with "personal opinions" and everything to do with morality. |
The origin of the Trinity. http://www.heraldmag.org/olb/Contents/doctrine/The%20Origin%20of%20the%20Trinity.htm There is a logical answer to how 3 equals 1. People who have problems with the Trinity normally use 1+1+1=3 as a way to debunk it. They are right. This is obviously incorrect. The maths doesn't add up. But try using 1x1x1=1 instead and you get a better understanding of it's meaning. |
This claim was defeated the next day by the exhibitions main investor J. Randall Price in a letter[32] saying, I was the archaeologist with the Chinese expedition in the summer of 2008 and was given photos of what they now are reporting to be the inside of the Ark. I and my partners invested $100,000 in this expedition (described below) which they have retained, despite their promise and our requests to return it, since it was not used for the expedition. The information given below is my opinion based on what I have seen and heard (from others who claim to have been eyewitnesses or know the exact details). To make a long story short: this is all reported to be a fake. The photos were reputed to have been taken off site near the Black Sea, but the film footage the Chinese now have was shot on location on Mt. Ararat. In the late summer of 2008 ten Kurdish workers hired by Parasut, the guide used by the Chinese, are said to have planted large wood beams taken from an old structure in the Black Sea area (where the photos were originally taken) at the Mt. Ararat site. In the winter of 2008 a Chinese climber taken by Parasut’s men to the site saw the wood, but couldn’t get inside because of the severe weather conditions. During the summer of 2009 more wood was planted inside a cave at the site. The Chinese team went in the late summer of 2009 (I was there at the time and knew about the hoax) and was shown the cave with the wood and made their film. As I said, I have the photos of the inside of the so-called Ark (that show cobwebs in the corners of rafters – something just not possible in these conditions) and our Kurdish partner in Dogubabyazit (the village at the foot of Mt. Ararat) has all of the facts about the location, the men who planted the wood, and even the truck that transported it." —J. Randall Price, PaleoBabble Noah's Ark Ministries are nothing but a scam. |
Possible but unlikely. Why unlikely? The crucifixion story is merely an allegory based on many, many older stories. All of today's major religions are based on those that came before. http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/kersey_graves/16/chap16.html |
However anyone tries to dress or defend his actions, the guy is a peado. He should be put in jail and the girl sent home back to Egypt. |
@aligs. What bias and hatred? Shit goes down and if it's mentioned as being morally wrong (which it is) you're anti-Islam? What's your excuse for this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8169966.stm Islamist militants have clashed with Nigerian police in two northern states leaving many dead, a day after at least 39 people were killed in other attacks.Fact is, these people are doing this shit in the name of Islam. They have an agenda. That makes them assholes that need to be stamped on. Doing so is not "anti-Islam". It's pure common-sense. I don't give a shit about Islam or Christianity but I do care about Nigeria being torn apart by extremists. |
@yommyuk. They won't give evidence because there isn't any. And even under the slightest scrutiny their claims fall apart. Take the oil/gas pipeline that they're burbling about. As I've already stated, it would be Asian gas pumped to Asian countries. Nothing to do with the US or NATO. They can't even claim that it's a US company controlling the oil as, although the pipeline was proposed 10 years ago by a US company, that company doesn't even exist any more. And let's not forget that was all it was - a proposal. Not so much as a ditch has been dug to accomodate any pipeline in those 10 years. They also totally overlook the fact that any pipeline through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India (the intended receivers) from the Caspian would have to run through Iranian and Russian territory. Now I don't know about the two dipshits, but any logical person with an ounce of sense would realise that the NATO countries are trying to steer clear of letting Russia have any more power over energy (they already hit Europe when they turned off the gas to Ukraine) and there is no way that they would want to lay a pipe through Iranian territory (and that's even if the Iranians would let them). Let's also not forget the fact that it would be impossible to guard a pipeline through Afghanistan and protect it from sabotage even if the Taleban were completely defeated. I guess common sense is totally out of the window where those two cretins are concerned. |
Sorry. But I blame the professor. Race isn't the issue here. A couple of guys were seen forcing a door open and the cops were called to a suspected break-in. The guy then gives the police a load of shit and gets arrested for refusing to show ID. He could have been black or white, the result would probably have been exactly the same. He obviously knows that he screwed up because if he had a genuine complaint, he would sue the ass off them. By the way. The dude isn't black even though he claimed to be. In fact, he took part in a TV show tracing his anscestry back to a white Irish king in 300AD. He's mixed race. 50% African and 50% white European. |
savanaha:Bullshit. Your insinuation was that Zimbabwe's agriculture was screwed due to white farmers sabotaging the farms. That is blatant Mugabe propaganda that is totally unfounded. It doesn't matter if one or two farmers damaged their farms. That is not the argument here. The argument is that you made a statement blaming the white farmers and that statement is totally and utterly false. You then try to smokescreen with crap about some of the farms not being used once distributed when the truth is that most of them were not used. And I guess I should tell my political science professor that all the readings, videos we watched and information we got were wrong because you said so. The Zimbabwean students who hate Mugabe but are unbaised when it comes to certain things are also wrong.Go ahead and tell him. Or are you dumb enough to believe that academics don't have political agendas? Zimbabwe is basically totally cut off. One of the few countries that did not agree to the UN sanctions was actually China and Russia.A blanket statement that is totally untrue and yet again does not address the question of sanctions that I asked you. So let me tell you what the sanctions entails. They are travel restrictions and financial sanctions on members of the ZANU-PF regime. There are also restrictions on selling certain types of weaponry to the ZANU-PF regime. That is the sum total of your so-called sanctions. According to you, this amounts to Zimbabwe being "cut off" and is responsible for the destruction of the Zimbabwean economy (along with all those farm destroying white farmers). Ironic then isn't it that the West is still pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Zimbabwe? I hail you in all your knowledge and wisdom.I would hail yours if you had any. |
Oh boy, I am laughing so hard. The majority of Yahoo boys are European white kids? The jails there must be full of them. |
Beaf:And you're such a cretin that you don't even realise that the spelling I've used is slang for that word. As for your claim about oil and gas? You've shown nothing of substance. I've already pointed out to you that the oil company you've bleated on about doesn't exist and that the gas pipe (which is only proposed, let alone built) will be delivering Asian gas to Asian countries. |
savanaha:Seriously!?! There is actually videos of women sucking off donkeys too, but it doesn't mean that all women partake in it. The overwhelming evidence is of the vast majority of white famers being evicted without damaging their property. The propaganda spread by Mugabe that the whites destroyed their farms was based on what the Jews did when they pulled out of the West Bank. As I've said, the fact that agriculture went to hell in Zimbabwe is because the farms were given to Mugabe cronies who had absolutely no interest in using them for their designated purpose and even if they did were incapable of doing so. Some people around here seem to think that just by handing over a farm to a black man, that black man will be able to produce an incredible harvest. Unfortunately, the fact that farming is a skilled profession throws that idea into the trash can. It should also be noted that the people who worked the farms - the black farm workers were also thrown off the farms by their new owners. Afrocentric or Mugabe propaganda that the whites screwed up agriculture in Zimbabwe is a joke and only the uneducated or the fallacious would spread that propaganda around as if it were the truth. So you realize that there are sanctions against Mugabe and Zimbabwe, yet you made the statement that I had no clue. O.K then am not really sure where you were goig with that then.I'm well aware what sanctions there are. But are you? You seem to be following the line of ignorance regarding the word "sanctions". A lot of people see that word but don't understand what it means. They automatically assume that Zimbabwe is totally cut off as Iraq was by "sanctions". But this is utterly not the case. Tell me: what are the sanctions against Zimbabwe and when were they implemented? |
Boring. All you can do is throw the odd lame insult without ever addressing the issue. The only sensible part of you ran down your mothers leg when your father pulled out. Are you just going to post more drivel or are you going to actually answer the question of what NATO has to gain by being in Afghanistan? See, a fool like you has no understanding of world social stability. If you did, you would realise that Afghanistan is a global issue that affects every nation on this planet. If NATO fail there, you better start getting measured up for your burkha my friend. |
Afam:So what? Plenty of people have received accolade only to turn out to be assholes in the end. And the Queen might have handed him his medal but it wouldn't have been her choice - knighthoods are handed out by the UK government and they aren't exactly the best judges of character. Some of us have conveniently avoided the questions - What happened? When did the West realize Mugabe was bad?Do you actually understand anything about the Zimbabwe situation? I would suggest that the West realised Mugabe was an asshole when he sidelined Nkomo, tried to adopt Marxism, singlehandedly rewrote the Zimbabwean constitution, committed genocide in Matabeleland, starved his people, denied freedom of speech and stole the 2002 and 2008 elections. Of course, all of that is just Western propaganda isn't it? Or to someone like you, they're just "mistakes". @savanaha If I wanted to Google, I would have but I have no need as I'm fully aware as to what the sanctions entail. But this is a forum and you made a statement so instead of bleating about Google, back your statement up here. I ask you again. What are those sanctions and what impact to they have on Zimbabwe? Also, you might want to address when were they implemented. As for your statement that whites destroyed the farms? That is totally ridiculous. The farmers fought the take-overs in court and most of the time were still going through the legal system when they were kicked out. They either didn't have time to destroy their farms or simply would not have done so because they misguidedly thought that they were going to get them back. Some still do!!! This suggestion that Zimbabwean agriculture is screwed because the whites sabotaged the farms is pure Mugabe propaganda. Zimbabwean agriculture went to shit because when the farms were taken back, they were given to Mugabe cronies who knew nothing about farming and had no interest in it - they just wanted the land. |
Afam:It seems that there is a lot that you don't know about. The topic in hand being just one example. So, what does NATO actually stand to gain from being in Afghanistan then? Oil? Gas? Muslim babies for Madonna to adopt? Come on idiot. Time to put up or shut up. |
savanaha:Yet another one who has no clue. What sanctions? As for taking the land back? I don't disagree with it. What I do disagree with is the way Mugabe went about it and what he did with it after taking it back. His ignorance and hatred turned a wealthy country into a failed state. Very, very few leaders have managed to do that. Afam. Your mother didn't bring me up. |
Actually, I lied in my last post. I didn't apologise to your father. I've never met him. But then neither have you. |
I apologised to your father for not paying your mother enough after sex. But that's a different story. So are you going to answer the questions or are you just going to hide like a little bitch? |
Afam:Or perhaps it's because my outlook on the subject is not clouded by the ignorance that seems to fall heavily over your eyes. You and the other dipshit here have offered nothing in the way of refuting factual evidence other than a couple of tenuous conspiracy theories. Do you really expect people to treat you seriously when you argue from such a ridiculous position? What do you expect from someone that starts a response to a post with "Afam. You are an idiot?" Clearly shows that you feel inferior and lack confidence in yourself.No. I would suggest that it indicates exactly the opposite. That I'm fully confident of my understanding of the subject and am tired of reading the drivel written by uneducated buffoons It may make sense for you to go back to the Religion section where you constantly spew rubbish. Politics is certainly not something you can dabble into even if every single material is made available for you.Nor yours asshole. Or did you think that racism and conspiracy theory is classed as "politics"? |
Afam:LMAO. What a small-minded prick. You won't answer because you can't, you slowpoke. I don't apologise to idiots - I find that only encourages them. As for saying I "must" this or I "must" that? You must stop boring the shit out of me with illogical bullshit. Sound fair? ![]() |
Wow!! That link shows that some Arabs got on an aeroplane. If that doesn't prove that 911 was a conspiracy by the New World Order and carried out by Bin Laden in the pay of the Jews then what does? Seriously. What a load of bullshit. And as to the links you posted earlier regarding the Yanks wanting Afghanistan for the oil? ROFLMAO. The 1st one refers to an oil company that doesn't even exist any more, the second to a gas pipe carrying gas to Asia and the 3rd to a very tenuous conspiracy theory. Let me just point out the facts. Afghanistan was a hotbed of extremism threatening to destabilise it's neighbours - especially Pakistan. Afghanistan was the launchpad for the attacks on 9/11 - threatening to destabilise the wider world. Now if a few dipshits here can't understand basic logic and work out why NATO is in Afghanistan maybe they'd be better off leaving the serious discussion to those with brains and go spend their time on www.disney.com where their fairytales and fantasies will be more at home. @Afam. I don't see anyone being punished here intellectually by either you or beaf. What I do see is a couple of idiots trying to act smart but just looking totally dumb. |
Afam. Intellectually you are a flea compared to me. Both my education and my mental capacities far outstrip those of a cretin like yourself. As for the insult? Nice try. But I can do even better and your mother is even more of a LovePeddler. They call her "Bowling Ball" - she gets picked up, has three fingers rammed into her and is then thrown in the gutter. Now that is out of the way, you pathetic shit-kicker, would you like to address the salient points that I've made? How has Mugabe not screwed Zimbabwe into the ground? Just how exactly is it the fault of the West? |
tboy1:ROFLMAO. You dumb Bleep. Because a Yahoo boy say he in Europe does not mean the email come from there. ![]() Oh boy. You made me piss my pants laughing. |
Politics aside, the fact is that the Yanks got the best military equipment. Russian and Chinese just isn't in the same class. Not only does money talk (the Yanks invest much more into their weapons programmes) but the US has the people. Take the JSF for example - the technology in that baby isn't just Yank, it's UK too. US has access to the best brains and to way more money - consequently their military hardware is the best in the world. The Chinese and the Russians only have themselves to look to. Probably the only area that the Russians can compete with the Yanks are in submarines, but even there, the Yanks probably have the edge. |
Afam. You are an idiot. Zimbabwe's problems are rooted in African tribalism. Not anything that the West has done. When Zimbabwe gained independence it was a wealthy nation. It doesn't matter a shit that the white farmers owned land - they made the country rich for the black man as well. It wasn't the West which stole the election for Mugabe. It wasn't the West which sent out the militias to terrorise the people of Zimbabwe. It wasn't the West which stifled the free press. It wasn't the West which bleeped Zimbabwe's economy. It wasn't the West which imprisoned opposition leaders. It wasn't the West who beat, tortured and murdered the people of Zimbabwe. It was a senile Shona fuckhead meglomaniac who is intent on clinging onto power at any costs. Broda, all you've done is shown what a dipshit you are. You swallow Mugabe's propaganda like any good house-boy. As for the cretin who keeps burbling on about sanctions crippling Zimbabwe. What a prick. What sanctions? Any time someone who knows nothing about Zimbabwe but wants to make a point, they drivel sanctions not even having the slightest clue what those sanctions are or what they do. |
4 Play:Nothing to add. Just that description made me laugh. ![]() |
