butterflyl1on:
God differs from god.

MuttleyLaff:
Thanks ojaare.
I intimated a similar sentiment earlier too

Bud, is the site down?
I lost connection 10 mins or so ago
and haven't since been able to successfully load the Web page

plaetton:
Pls understand my point.
He is using the wrong phrases. That's what I am trying to point out to him.

If you don`t believe in the existence of something, you cannot write definitively about that thing.
However, you are very free to write about the prevailing Ideas or the prevailing Notions of that thing as it effects the society, humanity, or how such Ideas or Notions have evolved over the eons of human History .

Emmanystone:
What or who is God?

butterflyl1on:
That guy is like a pit bull on Flakka. He only sees what he wants to see and barks in disobedience to training instructions.

You have a huge hill to climb with him.

plaetton:
Point of correction sir.
If you neither believe in the existence of the Toothfairy nor Santa Claus, then you can only write or express opinion about the IDEAS or beliefs being peddled about Santa Clause and the Toothfairy . I don`t see how you can offer a definitive analysis of something whose existence is unproven.

If you keep trying to get a comparison of Capital letter god and small letter god, you are taking them from the realm of being mere Mental Projections , and projecting them as actual things that can be objectively observed, classified and analyzed ,.which they are not.

MuttleyLaff:
With all due respect, the subject of discussion is God, variant of gods plus comparing and contrasting them with each other.

No one on the thread, has specified that the write up be done in relation to "religion"

Supposing I don't believe in tooth fairies, Santa Claus etcetera doesn't in the slightest, hinder me in writing all I know and understand about any of them

Your interesting take, that there is no difference between god, capital or small letter, and the Toothfairy has been taken on board but why is your position that there aren't any difference between god, with capital first letter g and lowercase first letter g?

MuttleyLaff:
"

Exhaustively and to the best of your understanding, do it
Dont hold back, dont pull punches, give both your best shot, like as if your life depended on it.
With the full force of all your understanding, smash both, with examples and/or explanations, that blows them out of this world.

See them telling our own story better than we do. We even believe and embrace their own story better than we say it ourselves.

'Africa has no history except the one the West wrote for us'.
SMH

vaxx:
wait , let him define table. he will overlap himself. he will realized what it term as table may not be table to you or me....logically, we will all have subjective definition

this is why socrate was very wrong when he said we should seek for absolute truth .....there is no absolute truth anywhere....only GOD IS THE TRUTH......

slurity1:
The story did not call him a pastor but Rev

kabarka:
Talk am very well.
Church of England is Anglican.
however, nigerian anglican church has officially removed themselves from the body, that is why they bear:Church of Nigeria,Anglican Communion.
I am not Anglican,if am wrong somebody should tell me.

ReinaFarine:
How do we test for something in chemistry?
I actually dropped chemistry in hundred level. But I still remember the basics. Test, observation and inference. True?

For us to prove seun exists as human and created nairaland forum, we first have to state who a human is. What are the characteristics/properties that distinguishes human from everything else?
If seun possesses these properties, then he is human.
It differentiates from the Theory or System of God. Everybody has a different Idea of who a god or God is suppose to be.

danvon:
I Challenge you to think of your worst enemy (if I could use that word) on nairaland....

Are you done yet? Try promoting his/her belief system for a change take the persons perspective (be convincing)


Let's see which faith has the highest amount of ignorant believers.

hopefulLandlord:
FSM is the one true God.

Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Olodumare etc are created by FSM's creations

FOLYKAZE:
I am very skeptical when it comes to African spiritual system. Maybe it is because I am born in a society where almost every turn or houses has at least one or two shrine. Somethings too personal had happened that made me give them benefit of doubt. Well, I cannot explain these occurrences or manifestation they put on display, I believe there are some knowledge that covers manipulation of natural forces.

However, I have met some 'working boys' in Ondo town. I have personally engaged them and they confessed that their shrine is 'stage', meaning everything in there is put on display to defraud unsuspecting victims. They have guys on the street who are their eye, ears and tongue. These guys know your problems and approaches you that they have a priest who can resolve it. The end of the game is to swindle you of your cash which those boys get payback for. One thing that frighten me is that these boys are in àwo fraternity. We call them babalawo abuja. So most times, I do not believe there is any magic or ritual or whatever. Many of these guys are in police custody, you can do your own investigation.

Despite all that has been mentioned above, there are mamy things I cannot explain which some priest do. I do not want to speak for atheists here but they can consult those babas through a referral like family or adult friends.

There are traditions, with a strong tie in every person and family. One can only get the real picture through proper consultation. Go out there, ask those Babas to give you 'stuff' for test, they will willingly give it out for free. Arguing on cyberspace will not yield any tangible result. Atheism or not, there are some mind blowing spiritual feats, real or not, has anyone experienced these form. Argument ia unnecessary, if anyone doubt, that person should go out and experience it before talking about it.

MuttleyLaff:
Describe, the nouns God and god(s)
with god(s), as in, being all you understand a god to be
Explain in details, with as much examples, you can muster what god and God is

MuttleyLaff:
If
Jesus said to Nicodemus, it takes one having a spirit renewal or spirit re-birth, to see and recognise the kingdom of God
He said, except born from above, one cant accept the truth of nor admit the existence of the kingdom of God
If one isnt, then such one, will rubbish, ridicule, make fun of, poke fun at, make jokes about, scoff at, be sarcastic about the kingdom of God
Such one not born from above, will take the mickey out of demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God

MuttleyLaff:
If
Weh done Sir, this is so spaghetti messy.
You're all over place, you cut corners and so ended up with a muddled mess summary of John Chapter Three
You are and/or were just like a chameleon dropped in a bag of skittles

Emmanystone:
To say the truth, i saw this thread, but ignored it because i still held the thought that you were who i suspected you were. I don't really read your posts until you quoted me in 'S.eun Does Not Exist' thread. Then it dawned on me that, the guy i suspected you were lacked the stamina and the intellectual capacity you have to engage in a discourse as long as you did consistently and coherently.

Most of your atheists brethren here only just throw jibes and insults, but when held down in a consistent
and coherent discourse they run off, spitting invectives as they go. So, i just decided to ignore them.

I'm sorry i didn't take you seriously before now.
I will follow up here so as to get into your mind more and see what makes you thick. lolzzz.

ScienceWatch:
You guys are doing great. There seems to be an innocent misunderstanding of BudaAtums brilliant argument due to poor environmental conditions.

Emmanystone:
Lolzzz. What shd we go with then?

Emmanystone:
You said you were a big girl and can take anything in one of your posts here.

***Anyways, moving on***

Emmanystone:
Now, i remember saying, 'I think i know who are'.. I didn't say I knew who you were explicitly.

I suspected you were a male and an alt moniker, but i just read you here saying you are female, meaning you are not the person, except otherwise.

Sorry. These guys dump old monikers and pick up new ones rapidly, we try to keep up by observing their mannerisms, how they react and respond to peole.

And you indeed sounded like an old moniker here.

Emmanystone:
You obviously don't know why i said it's an old moniker.
You shd have asked why.

Check his profile, he registered it last month, but he knows my old handle which has been out of use for a long time. If he were new here, he wouldn't know that handle.

To begin with, when he began his insults, i never said anything to him to set him off, i only laughed at his response to someone else, that got him so enraged he began insulting my private parts as if he has no female in his family with the same part.

Well, i fully understand his plight and leave him to his lot.

ScienceWatch:
My response to you now will have no value seeing that you said "it is too late." I will note this and respond at the appropriate time.

ScienceWatch:
Do you know what I admire about the amazing dialogue between you and VAXX? No one is trying to simply score points. You both are engaging a very complex problem. There is too much distraction here. Agree to created a new topic exclusively for this. Following.

Emmanystone:
Lol, funny enough, i only just noticed this buda moniker in this thread, and i really doubt if i have quoted or mentioned before(?). So, pls point me to where i said that.

Emmanystone:
See? It is an old person hiding behind a new moniker registered only last month, yet he knows Analice who hasn't been used for over 6 months.

Demons possessed everywhere.

ScienceWatch:
When you said that "VAXX is walking towards us," I instinctively responded "Prove it."

vaxx:
what if i say science evidence is rested on faith

budaatum:
I'll say, "explain yourself".

So, explain yourself please.

Vaxx, how is "Science evidence rested on faith"?.
