The fact that you recognise that a termination was given him already proves that your thinking is thrash.
Can you not read, or is it that you just can not understand what you read?

First Adam was employed as a naked ignorant gardener. Eve was dissatisfied with his pay. She encouraged Adam to take more pay. Then God terminated his employment.

What termination was given him already when?

if trump can go in there and descend on the actual terrorists it would really help..because our nigerian government isnt a serious one..

Descend on them so hard..so that normal humans can breathe
That dump is playing us with religion and we are sadly falling for it!

More Muslims have been killed in Northern Nigeria than Christians.

Why? They keep you poor in many ways that you don't realize. One of the many methods is to make you a primary producers of raw materials which they process and sold back to you at exorbitant prices.
Suddenly we have the largest single train refinery in the world and Suddenly they are coming "gun ablazing"
The Americans have consulates in Nigeria, they have spies everywhere. Do you really think they don't know the terrorists are killing Nigerians irrespective of their religion?
I'd go further and argue this dump is trying to divide us and make us poorer. For that will be the result of him interfering in our affairs.

You mean Muslims are not killing Christians in the north?
Do you live under a rock or something
How can I possibly mean Christians are not being killed in the North?

I've rephrased what you said because it is debatable that those doing the killings are Muslims.

See here https://www.nairaland.com/8552048/us-state-departments-designated-countries/3#137322936

My point is, more Muslims are being killed in the North than Christians, by terrorists who are not Muslims.

Have you seen Muslims killing Christians in the South of Nigeria?

Not all all biological life has motive and intent but yes it would.

No the car isn't artificially alive because its operations are not "self motivated".

There are no examples of artificially alive lifeforms we know of. This are my personal speculations on what I imagine is the direction our technological advances will lead to. Might never happen or might be completely different from what I am saying.
Speculations accepted. I however want to argue against your, "Not all all biological life has motive and intent".

My position is all biological life has the intent to avoid death and continue living, barring those that commit suicide of course, which I'd place under the exception, as in pertaining to the few. This intent then is motive, as in, biological life is motivated to do whatever fulfils the intent to prolong its life. I think all lifeforms have this motive and intent or they wouldn't have life.

Basically, if I don't have the prolongation of my life as a motive, I wouldn't intend to get out of bed every morning. And unless someone else provides this intent and motive on my behalf, I'd pretty soon become a non-life.

What you think?
Christianity EtcRe: A Rambling Talk With Deepsight by budaatum: 11:25pm On Nov 01, 2025
LordReed:
Artificial life is life that doesn't start from a biological or natural process. I would say that artificial life will have some of the same characteristics as biological life like Movement, Response to it's environment, Growth, Excretion, Reproduction.
But will it have its own motive and intent, two things biological life definitely have?

I mean, a car moves and responds to its environment, and it excretes through its exhaust, though it can't reproduce, but it can grow if I attach a tow cart to it. So is the car artificially alive?

Give me examples so I can understand please.

Trump is wrong by threatening to attack Boko Haram/ ISWAP to you I guess you think they are just some innocent group who just need teenage wives. Plus some few guns and bullets from the army.
If he was threatening to attack boko haram or iswap in Nigeria I might delight, though I wouldn't really because he'd just screw it up. But we both know he's pitting this as Muslims against Christians, or at least small mindeds like you will term it that way even though more Muslims are being killed by boko haram and Iswap than Christians.

The statement specifically said "Islamic terrorist groups" are you guys defending Islamic terrorists or what cause I don't understand your grouse
One should attack it, because many Nigerians here are reading it as Muslims are killing Christians, which any one with a brain will know is untrue.

Unfortunately, when it comes to religious and tribal bigotry, brains are few.

Your question is not logical even though you may think you make a valid point. Spiritual death is the consequence of an act of the will. It is the result of disobedience to God. How then can God give disobedience when He is light? Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights in whom there is no variation (James 1:17). As such, your question is illogical at best.
I think you don't get me. If a God tells me not to eat fruits of knowledge I'll tell that God to go do one and I'd go get a better knowledge loving God.

Now, tell me how illogical I am in your own opinion. I'd like to hear it.

Christianity EtcRe: Do Not Compromise Your Belief by budaatum: 5:57pm On Nov 01, 2025
Paul has given a good response to this.

"When I was a child", he said, "I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things".

He did not include the word "belief", but I very much doubt he'd advice me to hold on to the childish beliefs I had as a child.

Come to think of it, Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” And I think being born again involves the abandonment of old believes and adopting new and better ones.

What say ye?

Artificial life forms will be alive but not in the way you are used to.
This is why I agree with deepsight on this issue, my Lord.

You need to define what this artificial life is, and show how it differs to the biological life we all know.
Christianity EtcRe: A Rambling Talk With Deepsight by budaatum: 5:37pm On Nov 01, 2025
DeepSight:
Define first what constitutes life.

Let me go first by rendering my own definition. I will not go with Mr. Niger D (Movement, Respiration, Irritability, Growth, Excretion, Reproduction, Death) - because this is already the biological definition in terms of the characteristics of living things. So lets just leave it in the background, as you have specifically talked about the possibility of non biological life..
Permit me to add motive and intent to your definition.

A machine does not have those two things, apart from that given it by it's inventor, while humans have the free will to determine their own intents and motive.

For example. I can choose to murder you, but a machine can not independently choose to murder you.

The Nigerian government has shown to be irresponsible and enablers of terrorism by pardoning and rehabilitating terrorists.

FamilyRe: Can A Family Of 3 Still Have A Healthy Breakfast With ₦1,000 In Today’s Economy? by budaatum: 5:24pm On Nov 01, 2025
RevenuesBoost:
This thread is designed to show women that eating healthy on a low budget is absolutely possible.

Many families today struggle financially, not because there’s no income, but because some wives constantly complain that what their husbands provide isn’t enough. The truth is, wise money management matters — every day isn’t Christmas, and learning to make the best of any budget is an essential skill for every home.

Do you know that this breakfast costs less than ₦1000?

1. Moi Moi #400 (100 Naira Each)

2. Pap #300

3. Milk #200 (100 Naira Each)

4. Sugar #50
I could argue that ₦300 pap is expensive.

Why not buy maize and make one's own pap? It would make each portion cheaper than ₦300. And if you buy beans and make your own moi moi too, each portion will be cheaper too.

You rich or you lazy or you want me to earn less than minimum wage, is why you want to pay someone else less to make those things for you. And that's just not fair!

Christianity EtcRe: Do You Think That Miracle Is The Greatest Wonder? by budaatum: 5:14pm On Nov 01, 2025
True. With wisdom, which comes through knowledge, humans can miraculously replace dodgy hearts.

In fact, most know wisdom is much better. That's why they go to the doctor after their prayers for miracles have failed. Unfortunately, most waste time seeking miracles, and are too late to seek the advice of the wise.

For information, those who were told to rule and subdue and multiply and be blessed were told to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which Eve found was good for gaining wisdom. You can't rule and subdue and multiply and be blessed if you think that fruit will kill you.

Looks like a plan to kill off small traders so conglomerates can take over.

Instead of petty traders large, large stores will take over because they are easier to tax and easier to lend to.

Not good for many but some might like it. My grandma will be one of the former.

So he was not employed before?
Of course Adam was employed before. See his employment contract below:

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

And see his pay:

And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

But know that being employed by someone is very different to being self employed, which is what Adam had to go do after God had fired him from his naked slavery job with the termination letter below.

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken: for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Come to think of it. That termination letter makes me think Adam was always intended to live for a limited time and then die, since "for dust you will return".
