Ibime:Are the human beings "accidentally" bombed in church not material enough for you? If not, then perhaps worry about the material church that was bombed, though that's odd reasoning from where I'm looking. |
Roy Wagner, 1975, The invention of culture. University of Chicago Press https://archive.org/details/inventionofcultu0000wagn/page/n197/mode/1up My great fear is that the fruits of knowledge we fear to pluck and eat now will be hidden on the east side of the Garden of Eden behind the cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way so we are not allowed to reach out our hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and just live. Metaphorically speaking, of course. The book above is unavailable, so you'll need to seek it. If you do find it, please post link here for the rest of us. And if you ever do read it and learn anything, do come back to educate us please.

basilico:Not buying dump's alternative facts no more? |
ORIAYO70:You make me wonder if 4kids just fell on one, like you were walking down the street one day and you caught 4kids like one would catch a disease. I think it is a financial mistake to have 4kids on 50k. I think it is a financial mistake to have one kid on 50k. And I think it is a huge mistake precisely because the country is very hard these days and 50k is not enough for just me not to talk of a husband and one kid plus 3 other kids. I doubt it covers rent, not to talk of food, schoolfees (a must), and doctor and dentist. Bad things happen though, I am aware. One might have earned more and had 4kids then a financial mishap might have occured, but that's where the learning one has empowers one to increase one's earning. As a side, I think 4kids is greedy. 2 tops. 3 is greedy acceptable, but 4. That's just pig! In my own very unhumble opinion. |
Kobojunkie:But you did create your own definition. The definition you gave is your definition you created. Or did you copy it from somewhere did you? It expressed your understanding of what an atheists holds in their heads. Your definition is different to my definition, which I created for myself in my head just like you created your definition for yourself. Search and you will find very many definitions of atheist and atheism held in many different peoples head, so why would you insist your own understanding is the only one possible definition? Wouldn't that be like claiming all churches worship Jesus? For your "proof that gods don't really exist". Consider the following. https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateReligion/s/gMTFJz41qR As for your, "makes it more a religious idea than anything else", of course atheism is a "religious idea". It is the religious consideration of the existence of a religious god that billions religiously worship. What else could it be if not the consideration of religious ideas? A definition. Better is books. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion |
Kobojunkie:That is what atheism is to you. There is lots of evidence if one can bother to look and see, and I am an atheist because the extensive available evidence I have studied clearly shows that all gods are created by human beings. I do not want you to accept this however, because if you do, you would be believing me, which is against my atheism. |
Kobojunkie:Anything is not allowed in human thought and reasoning, of which the scope of religion is a part of, and mostly just what is decided to be chosen to believe in ones head. You will allow me to pay for your car in stones I believe are worth millions I don't think, unless you believe me in your own head. |
benalvino3:You child, It explains you quite a lot. I went bird watching today and dead tired and will respond later. |
benalvino3:I did not support Buhari, bem, I just wanted Buhari to win because that is whom Nigerians wanted to win. I'll explain, but first. How old were you when Buhari got into power by pointing guns at people? You may give a range if you wish, in 10s. |
benalvino3:I'm supporting dump now too. I want him to win the next election. I wouldn't vote for either of them myself though. |
terrezo2002:I was born an atheist, and didn't have religion shoved in my mouth with a tit. Believing in gods was like believing the tortoise in Things Fall Apart. What I was taught was to question, and that's the antithesis of belief. Probably why I like the Bible too, because despite all the belief it's also written that one should Test every spirit. Spirit, as in, the meaning and implication, and God being that which is good. Not everything written about God in the Bible is good however, but I forgive the writers for their limited ancient understanding. |
Image123:And the Qur'an. Two of the most wonderful books ever written, as far as concerning Nigerians. |
bayelsaowei:Vote for dump! |
IjeBos:https://wapo.st/4liYzKz |
Seun:I am reporting this post! It has a suspiciously high number of likes! Sort out your spambot. You can't expect us to want to stay here if our carefully composed posts are spambotted for no reason! |
Samantha125:Time to start a cleaning service for people like you, though that too has it's own worries. We might hire men only, but that just transfers the worry to the husband, and if we hire women the problem remains the same. Better is that one marry a person who respects one and is not prone to temptation. Another option might be magun for husband and wife. |
basilico:More like, that's the way you want to spin this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nbaoYTTmdQ?si=3Jt7YgY6SUD2Pk9Z
|
basilico:They were all Democrats controlling the weather.
|
Image123:I hope you understand that one can talk about the Bible philosophically, which is "in a way that relates to the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence". Here is atheist me using both the Bible and the Quran to illustrate a point. |
basilico:I'm not one to harken to polls. I'm more, show me the money. But having been a paid up member of the Labour Party for decades, they are currently struggling to get my money this year or my vote at the next election. That said, Farage has way too much baggage to win in my constituency, and I'm certain in many others too. So much that I'd be amazed if Reform gets 100 seats in the next election. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p3c3p12hfQ?si=RQ3vbMAJWaA7kKbU |
Tenrack:I felt I should have elaborated, and hoped I'd be asked, and here is knowledgeable you doing precisely that. Education is the process of acquisition of knowledge and the understanding of it. The Bible would have it explained as the below, and here is a link for those inclined to our other main faith. I have called it an investment because the rewards of it are only fully reaped long after its acquisition.
|
Not investing for the future. And that's not only money. Getting an education is an investment. |
Image123:I want to agree with you but find it odd that a God will make humans with a spirit that worships, and them let them go and create their own gods to worship. My Yoruba ancestors worshipped gods of iron and thunder and sopona and the River Owala, until foreigners convinced some their Allah or Yahweh created them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Kxum63CtA?si=G4Gfx_91qf9k8nCc |
Kobojunkie:This is religious thinking. You think atheists believe, when belief is what most atheists are actually against. I am an atheist. I do not believe there are no gods, I know there are no gods. There are books written by people about gods, however, believing the gods they wrote about are real is like believing the tortoise Chinua Achebe wrote about actually really said its name was All Of Us, or that Okonkwo really killed Ikemefuna, or that when I write that I flew to the moon and ate a moon feast, I really did eat a moon feast on the moon. Happy anniversary my Lord. |
feedthenation:Infowars is no more on my telly and I'm sad. I have a friend who used to visit so we could watch Jones and Owen Shroyer peddle fake durgs while we drank Guinness and rued the fact we didn't have such comedy here, and now that are both no more. The website does not compensate for my loss but its better than nothing. |

Then sue him. What for though? 17 more characters needed |
