Hello ScienceWatch. I noticed you there. Any update on that thing you were getting me? One shouldn't go thinking things up with no evidence now. And then go about accusing others of ones own sins.

ScienceWatch:
I don't think you had a good day.I respectfully disagree with you, The king is respected and loved across many platforms.

I certainly must agree with you that too much reading makes one an Atheist. The world is overloaded with fiction that is corruptly published as NON-FICTION.

KingEbukasBlog:
Thank you very much

I'm the judge . This is why atheists who are questioning my ability to reason are not actually smart themselves : Since I lack the ability to reason , then construct an argument that is above my purview and you win the money easily because I lack the intellectual ability to refute it .

But una no get sense na ... so I dey look una

No! No no no no! Goddamn man. How you show your own illogicality! Though, and at the expense of the atheist, you are logical in a rather comical sense.

Any atheist who allows you to be the judge of your ability to reason is not smart at all. Since you lack the ability to reason no argument constructed can be above your purview and so the money would never be won as part of your illogicality is the inability to see logic in anyone else's argument.

Its like say you commit a jail going crime and are brought before the judge who just happens to be yourself. How much jail time do you think you would give yourself if you could find yourself guilty in the first place?

My point is not so much that you "lack the intellectual ability to refute it". In fact, you do have the intellectual ability to refute it, but your refutation lacks rational and logic and is therefore in error and dishonest (as in, in my view, you actually know better).

Oh, thanks. I responded before reading yours, hence what I would call double posts on my part.

Tozara:
Lol. I believe you to be intellectually penurious and materially destitute, so giving the prize to the winner of this challenge would be a CHALLENGE even for you. Because:

1. You do not have the intellectual muscles to perceive rationality, even when it's leading a band before you and performing the music of reason. So, how can you know whether someone has crushed your challenges or not?

2. I don't think you can afford the prize for crushing your arguments that are as weak and watery as your *****, so this is nothing but an avenue for entertaining yourself because you're bored.

CONCLUSION: Gerrarahere, Ebuka. And go and preach the Gospel to the gullible.

First, this is not a post by a Christian. Op is a deist (unless he states here otherwise).

Because Muslims don't do what some Christians seem to do, try to convert the atheist through insults and condemnation. (if I have missed a post where one Muslim has, please point it out to me so I can 'insult' the individual please.)

KEB, It's been pretty quiet since your post on 23 November. Careful observers would have noticed the true Christians (as opposed to deists like you) have held sway since that day, with even the most militant atheists having to be silent while God reigned. Welcome back.

So, to your challenge, I would take it up under certain conditions.

1. Who would be the judges? It can't be you as you have not shown the ability to comprehend positions that stand opposed to yours.

Lets sort that out and I'll take up your challenge.

An average atheist have covered more books than the vibrant christian; Christians don't read, they seem satisfied with the little they know, bunch of 'Incurious' people. Consistent with their belief system, over time they become close-minded and dogmatic. You see why atheists feel superior in terms of intelligence. Plus, I've never met an unintelligent atheist.

You know what nightingale? I'm going to disagree with you for the mere fact that you mistake KEB's ignorance for that of Christians generally. If you take him as your mean, you would be insulting Christians!

I do agree with your claim for atheists though. It is in fact reading that makes one an atheist.

Christianity Etc › 1 John 5: 7-8 A Spurious Reference To The Trinity? by budaatum(op): 4:02pm On Dec 19, 2017

An addition to the Bible came to my attention in the thread Is Jesus God?, which I have been following. It has apparently been a long standing controversy.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”

"The words in green are simply not a part of the generally accepted New Testament manuscripts."

The Big Book of Bible Difficulties tells us: “This verse has virtually no support among the early Greek manuscripts . . . Its appearance in late Greek manuscripts is based on the fact that Erasmus was placed under ecclesiastical pressure to include it in his Greek NT of 1522, having omitted it in his two earlier editions of 1516 and 1519 because he could not find any Greek manuscripts which contained it” (Norman Geisler and Thomas Howe, 2008, pp. 540-541). UCG

This is a quest for clarification and understanding, and not for juvenilism, please.

The Aramaic Bar-abbâ means "son of the father", and some claim both Jesuses were one single person.

There is also argument that Simon of Cyrene never gave the cross back and that Jesus was not crucified.

All the same, thanks for pointing out they were both called Jesus. It is a fact well hidden in most bible versions, and I'm sure many will research the facts and present here.

Christianity Etc › Re: Heaven Or Hell. Choose!! by budaatum: 3:06pm On Dec 12, 2017

Neither. If Jesus came today, his favourite phrase would be, "Your sins are forgiven". And living would continue. Though, the assumption is a dead Jesus coming back to life, literally speaking.

Didn't the Egyptians believe so much in the resurrection that they mummified their gods and built grand edifices to preserve their bodies? I guess that explains why the son was called out of Egypt. Those mummys were eventually used for manure.

Christianity Etc › Re: Quick Questions For The Creationists by budaatum: 6:47am On Dec 08, 2017

I can't sleep! And I'm bored. So Wildatheist, you'll have to do. ‎

Wildatheist:
So, for those here who are Creationists and believing in "intelligent design", I have a few questions:
1. Why didn't God design us to be able to devour anything we want, and anything we'd devour would be equally beneficial to our body?

Why would you want to eat plastic? Or poo? Is there not enough good food for you to eat?‎
‎

Wildatheist:
2. Why don't we have any protective sheet for our genitals?

But you do. Unless you were circumcised‎. (Bloody humans. Never satisfied, they keep making amendments!)
‎

Wildatheist:
3. Why don't we have bodies adapting to the heat or cold instead of wearing clothes?

But you do. It's your mind that doesn't keep up so you evolved your protective covering away. You do know you used to be covered in hair right?‎
‎

Wildatheist:
4. If wales didn't evolve from land mammals, why do they breathe air? Did God just have a weird sense of humor when it came to them?

Did wales evolve from mammals? Now, I can't say that I knew that. A weird sense of humour must indeed be involved.
‎

Wildatheist:
5. Why can humans be born disfigured or damaged?

Because they breathe air? ( Is this a trick question?)‎
‎

Wildatheist:
6. Why are we not immune to all diseases?

O!? If you were immune to all diseases, can you imagine what you humans would get up to? You'd eat poo and there'd be no harm done. How would the farmers make a living? (Or don't you like farmers?)‎
‎

Wildatheist:
7. If God designed us after himself, does that mean God is a naked humanoid floating around in space? And does that mean he poops?

You are taking this literally, it seems. Try the inverse, imagine humanoids designed god after themselves. ‎
‎

Wildatheist:
8. Why do we specifically have 5 fingers on each hand and 5 toes on each foot?

‎Because you only need five fingers and five toes. Just consider how much greedier you'd be if you had more fingers! You'd probably eat your toes.
‎

Wildatheist:
9. Why is our esophagus connected to our trachea?

I'd like to assume you meant the oesophagus‎?
‎
It is somewhat efficient. One is for the consumption of oxygen, the other is for the consumption of ‎food. If they weren't connected you'd have two sets of plumbing which means more resources would be needed to make you.
‎

Wildatheist:
10. Why do we release pee from our sexual organs?

Efficiency, again. To avoid two sets of plumbing! Besides, how much use do you really make of your sexual organs to warrant a whole standalone organ?‎ But I now see why you'd want to eat whatever. You'd need the energy to go about with a less efficient design.
‎

Wildatheist:
11. Why are our eyes so sensitive?

Just so you are aware of them, take care of them and use them. If they weren't so sensitive, they'd be like your knee, or your ass‎ and you wouldn't notice it much. I guess you'd be blind.
‎

Wildatheist:
12. Why are there so many animals with better musculature and/or teeth and/or ears than humans?

Name one! If you have a dog, please take it to the dog dentist. But on a more serious note, other animals don't eat sugar which is the main cause of dental problems. And other animals slobber a lot. If you slobber too you'd save on toothpaste.‎
‎

Wildatheist:
13. Why can we only survive in SOME places on earth?

You can survive anywhere on earth. There is no place on earth where you will just drop dead for being there. Well, not unless you were not meant to be there in the first place like stepping out of an aeroplane at 22000 feet. There is a reason you don't have wings you know.
‎

Wildatheist:
14. If being gay is wrong, why did God locate men's pleasure center up our anus?

Hehem. Well, not unless you were not meant to be there in the first place like stepping out of an aeroplane at 22000 feet. There is a reason you don't have wings you know.

P.s. The repetition is not an error!‎
‎

Wildatheist:
15. Why do we have a tailbone?

‎You have a tailbone? Well, I was going to refer you to question 5, but I am convinced its a trick question.
‎

Wildatheist:
I could keep this train going for hours, Creationists. Try me. But, silly me.... none of you Creationists in this group have the spine to debate properly.

‎
Actually, I completely agree with you. You are silly. But at least you got me tired. I can now sleep. Thanks.‎

P.s. I refused to use my bible. Shoot someone!

Exodus 20:4-5 KJV
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

It's funny how Christians forget their god is jealous when they elevate Jesus to a god, or when they take words and say it is god. Are these not other gods and images that they worship? Not one of them would question the trinity. No wonder Muslims would call them heretics.

If anything, it is Muslims, and not Christians, who seem to worship no other god but the jealous god. The Christian god does not appear to suffer that human flaw called jealousy, anymore, thank god.

EmperorHarry:
I do not know what it would have been like if the first generation of humans didn't ponder or try to understand the universe and alter it but I'm just from my own perspective and human knowledge I've acquired trying to create the best possible scenario

Well, I think the world is a better place just because you and I are here pondering. By the time we are done I would be better off for it. Or do you not see how you are positively affecting me? For one, you make me consider things I may not have seen cause to consider. I tell you for a fact that I am improved.

Now, consider the technology we are using for the conversation we are having. We wouldn't be able to do so without it and you would have had no influence on me whatsoever and I would not have not been improved by you. In fact, how dare you not see how you positively affect me!? Know ye not that ye are being godly? And is that not due to your personal development as a person? I put it to you that by now, some other two less developed individuals would have found reason to insult the other by now, but because of your personal advancement, you indulge me.

If human beings had not pondered existence, we would still be naked, living in caves and eating one another. Thunder and lightning would strike in the sky and we would sacrifice a few individuals to avert the wrought of our god. We'd probably have more children, but more would die if there weren't advancement in technology that now ensures more survive. Their would be famines because we couldn't move food around. Some would be enslaved to others and many would die because they know not what the heck they must do to live. And whatever time we do spend living will be brutal short and bleak if nothing else.

The earth was never a paradise as some would have us believe, and it is much better today than it has ever been in the past. We just have to continue to learn to be better in using the resources at our disposal, is what I think.

So my good friend all we can do is ponder but the best thing to do is to accept the illusion that is beneficial to you and stick to it..cos all we ever get from pondering is more pondering which often leads to greater consequences such as the damages humans have caused on Earth
I'm not really good at writing.. I'm just trying to get a point across

Your writing is adequate. You can tell if it seems I get your point.

So, the the above. If I accept the illusion based on my ability to walk in a straight line that I had reached the end of the room, I think my path would be rather narrow.

I do not accept that pondering leads to damage. In fact, such thinking is based on biblical programming, that earth was a garden of Eden until Eve ate a fruit. It isn't true though, and in fact, the knowledge of good and evil made us into gods, albeit very small ones, for now.

In the modern world, knowledge has made us live longer, with fewer dying, and there is a lot more of us. Just imagine what Nigeria would be like if we knew less than we currently know, and then consider what it would be like when we learn much more. I put it to you that we will indeed become gods living in paradise, someday.
