All this talk about Rosicrucian stuff has set me to go look for some I haven't seen for years.

And since I have an audience, I guess I shouldn't let a good opportunity go by unused.

This is for the attention of Triplechoice, and is unfortunately not one I've read yet.

FxMasterz:
Now, that's interesting.

If Triplechoice can prove that you went beyond mere education to posting recruitment links as he claimed, the case is already closed.

Thankfully, he and others have saved screenshots as exhibits.

"If"?

You should make up your own mind up, I think.

And post the recruiting material buda sent to you!

Ishilove:
Oh Mein Gott!!

*gasp* 😳

BUDAATUM?! OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 😫😫😫

I might be shocked too if I only read FxMasterz's post and didn't do my own research. But I'd then need to be lazy too, and that's just not me.

Ishilove:
Ahn ahn, Aunty Buda, a whole 10 page thread for lil 'ol you?? Since when did you become such a celeb?? 😱

And since when did you transition to a full blown atheist?? Aunty I am shocked!! 😨😨

Ah, Ishi my love. You did not know buda is a full blown atheist from birth and did not just "become"?

You must not come to this section much, lol.

Here's one from 6 years ago about buda's atheism.

FxMasterz:
Then you do that and provide recruitment links, and vehemently defend the position you don't believe in?

Next you'd be claiming you don't have time to investigate the evidence while passing judgement, but if I ask you to post your so called "vehemently" now you'd likely claim not to have time!

But seriously, if I were recruiting people, is links all I'd post?

Wouldn't I contact potential recruitees to further sell it to them?

Why would I not fear that one of those I failed to recruit might post my recruiting conversation with them here?

Or is it that I'm so powerful that I wiped the communication off your device?

And how would I reap a reward if the link is a general one to the site, and not one I get paid for?

Or do you think I'd be recruiting with no financial reward for myself?

Or is that I'm so successful at recruiting you and your loyalty to me and what I've recruited you to makes you dare not say, FxMasterz?

Alright, and on that last one. I release you from the non-disclosure I made you sign when I attempted to recruit you, and I promise not to put a spell on you. Please release the communication I had with you when trying to recruit you, so triple's allegation can be confirmed. Thank you much in advance.

I would love the world to respond to this by boycotting the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year, but I understand how irrelevant dump is and why the 19 might attend.

I can't help not comparing the increase in eating out as opposed to cooking at home, to Made in China instead of making it in America.

IjeBos:
Imagine Raumdeuter waking up every morning posting some tweet or twitter "knowledge" from a troll based in Eastern Europe or Nigeria.
If only MAGA had shame.

I want you to know how refreshing it is to know that bots can not vote.

Ghostagain:
It's bad for my health to discuss with people like you. Being too smart for my own good, my blood pressure increases when I speak to much less smart people.

If I had a wish, it would be to be less smart so that I can have conversations with everybody.

Have a nice life.

This is rather very intelligent of you Ghost, and I hope others here can learn from you.

triplechoice:
The "supposed mob" is being misled by you.

Trust me when I say that I am very delighted and exceedingly pleased that those you invited to come and help you put a tyre around buda's neck and pour petrol on and burn are being "misled" by buda not to burn the buda that you want to burn.

It increases my trust and faith in the human race.

triplechoice:
No. He is not cleared. He misrepresented the issue for you hence the reason you cleared him. He succeeded because I have not been around to challenge his nonsense.

Are you suggesting FxMasterz and others who cleared buda of your nefarious allegations are fools who can not reason with their own minds?

You, sir, doth protest too much, and are like one who calls thief on an innocent person so the mob can help you burn them, only to find the supposed mob is far too intelligent to do your evil will.

triplechoice:
Shut it.

Why don't you just use whatever powers you have to shut buda up.

Or do you think you can just command buda and buda will obey you?

FxMasterz:
I never passed judgement, buda. I was drawing inferences and expecting you to clear yourself.

The below is from your initial post on this thread. It is a judgement, and based on you not even knowing at the time that budaatum is not sonmyavina (your apology for the mixup is accepted by the way), and you even mentioned your support for Maxindhouse who's only contribution to the thread was also a judgement.

FxMasterz:
So, who is budaatum?

Budaatum is an atheist, a worshipper of Marduk, a staunt believer in ifa, an animist and a follower of Moses. Does this definition make sense to you? No! But that's who budaatum is. And, you see, he calls himself buda for a reason. The confusion no be here.

It took me some time to understand him. Anyone who engages him on any religious topic has entered one chance indeed. Maxindhouse was right.

What's a pity is you now claim not to have had the time to check the available evidence, which makes me think of you as one of those people who hear others shout "thief", so you "draw an inference" and join in putting a tyre around the person's neck and pouring petrol and setting the accused alight without a trial and because you did not have the time to check if the person you were burning was really a thief!

Your action here could have resulted in a tragedy, but thankfully no one got burnt, and I hope you learn from your action, because if you are one who draws inferences, instead of spending time researching as you have not done here, in FX that you claim to be a master in, I can see you on the losing side of profitable trades very often.

FxMasterz:
I don't have the time to be browsing all over Nairaland. So, I can only draw inferences from both parties present. What's wrong with that?

What's wrong is that its lazy, and will result in bad judgement as you yourself have shown here.

It is like a person who hasn't bothered spending time measuring other peoples fathers' farms claiming his own father's farm is the biggest, or passing judgement on an accused without bothering to look at all the evidence.

Better would be to know one's knowledge is limited and insufficient to pass judgement and shut the f up! But I guess that would be asking for far too much of some.

FxMasterz:
If that means atheists don't have the same constraints religious people have, it means atheists don't actually know what they're doing. I cannot teach anyone about something I don't believe in. That's hypocrisy.

FxMasterz, this your addition is not true, or at best, it is faulty.

When you "teach" what you believe in, you are not teaching at all, and all you are doing is indoctrinate.

When some teach, they are teaching you to use your own mind so you better develop as a human being.

This is the difference between me reading the bible and even posting about Amorc books and using them as teaching tools, and a religious person indoctrinating with it. And it is what confuses many like triple who seek beliefs instead of understanding.

When I read about Jesus Christ, I see all his teachings as "seek knowledge, and seek understanding", and that is the sense in which I adore what is written about him. He is after all written to be the Word in the most gnostic of the Gospels, so why would one read only the bread?

For me, if God were to put me in the Garden of Eden and Jesus were to walk by, it is he, and not some serpent, who would pluck the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and shove it down my throat, if I didn't already steal it to eat by myself, and he'd even go get me the fruit of the tree of life and feed me that too, because if he didn't, he'd definitely fail in ensuring I live for a long enough time if not forever.

This is not what I think the Bible writers intended for us reading the Old Testament now in the 21st century though, but they can not possibly keep us enslaved by indoctrination for ever because a Jesus was always going to come and open our eyes and free our minds from ignorant slavery, as he did.

And on this note, let me express my most sincere gratitude to triplechoice for this thread. The Gods (imaginary, mind!), have indeed used you triplefold.

FxMasterz:
Buda is cleared.

Triplechoice should take note.

Trust me when I say that my faith in your ability to use you own senses instead of believing triplechoice never wavered.

One just needed to spit on mud and rub it in your eyes, but you still needed to go to wash in the Pool of Siloam, and now you see.

Pity Triple wouldn't go wash in the pool.

QuinQ:
I was responding to his assertion that the proof of freewill is that society has laws

Yeah, that is dumb.

Its after all not true that the laws of "thou shalt not steal or murder" stop me murdering and killing.

And I might not even be punished if I am smart enough to not be caught.

Let me slide into this from a different direction. From my ardent defense of the rights of Palestinians many people seem to presume I am a lover of Islam.

An ideology and religion that I actually detest.

But why would I not, from conscience, believe that a people must be free?

Same as I must be a member of Amorc and not an atheist, according to triplechoice, because I post about Amorc and quote god books

Makes me wonder if they also think anyone who quotes god books is righteous and going to heaven.

Stay strong bro (or sis - I dont know your gender and will not presume).
Miracles do happen.
We may live long.

As an aside - almost everyone I know is surprised I am still alive. Cant say further.

I'm going to apologise to you about my gender thing. Its something that followed me from another forum and that I have maintained ever since.

You live, and will continue living till you don't live no more, and others surprise does not matter. Though I find it odd they'd be surprised. Are you delaying them from inheriting or you standing in their way somehow that they'd want you dead?

(The question is rhetorical, since you said "can't say".)

QuinQ:
So if you lay down laws AI must follow or it'll be punished, that means AI has freewill?

Actually, it means its opposite, that AI has no freewill.

But the fact that humans have not been passed down any law that they must follow or be punished, is the precise definition of freewill.

It's after all not true that humans must follow any law laid down anywhere. Or do you know any laws laid down anywhere that I must follow or be punished?

QuinQ:
That's the genius of the camouflage. Does AI have freewill because it can decide to turn right or left?

AI does not have any will at all, and can not decide to turn anywhere apart from that it is told to by its human creator.

Grok has the will of Elon.

Meedon:
If there is heaven, won't you like to go there?

No! Not at all, thank you very much! For despite the supposed fire in hell, it seems there'd be more debauchery and enjoyment in hell than there could ever be possibly be amongst the righteous lot who would end up in heaven.

And to be honest, having to endure the supposed piety and righteousness of some here who believe they'd end up in heaven, I'd be much more pleased to be where they are unlikely to be.

Meedon:
May Almighty Allah bless you for accepting to follow His words.

You! Lol!

Meedon:
What is your take on life after death? When we can't breathe no more? Is there a sugar candy like in "Animal farm," where the deceased animals do go to?

Funny you ask this. My dad and I have an agreement that on a particular day and time after he dies he will come to our favourite (esoteric) bookshop where we will meet to confirm if truly there is life after death. He'd be dead 10 years next year and has not returned once yet, but we did agree to be checking for 10 years, so next year will I know.

My observation is that, when people stop breathing and are dead, their dead body is placed in a box and buried six feet deep where they rot and feed the worms.

When I die, my dead body will be cremated and ashes scattered, and that will be the end of buda. Well, except on Nairaland I guess, where my words shall endure after my death and until Nairaland stops existing.

Meedon:
All the atheist on this thread turn to Almighty Allah for he is merciful and benevolent. Thanks. There is nothing in atheism.

Sounds like your understanding is that buda has found nothing in atheism, and has turned to Islam.

Confirm please!

I must say that I find it funny that most don't read my monicker and accuse me of Buddhism or say I worship the Egyptian God Atum. But I know that's because most are believers, and not seekers of knowing and understanding, and I don't seem to promote Buddhism much.

It's however also because most of us Nigerians are programmed to believe (by our religion which is what has formed our collective societal mind), and is usually in the form of accepting what is obvious and on the surface, and not seeking deeper than that by asking and knocking and seeking with all one's heart and soul and mind and body and being and time and might like Jesus taught one should and which underpins the society I grew up in.

How do you know that I will.

High blood pressure alone threatens my longevity.

I don't know, Deep. I merely hope.

Know that my longevity is threatened too, ever since I ignorantly swam in a Schistosomiasis infested lake and got paralysed waist down. I'm not paralysed anymore, but my life is most definitely shortened from what it likely might have been, though I feel certain to at least be here a couple of years more and don't intend to ignore a person who reason as deeply as you do despite our disagreeing.

I am done on this subject.

For now, I'd say, since you will live very a long life.

LordReed:
Ehhh, this is not correct. Atheists share educative materials about religion. Atheists don't have that kind of constraint you religious people usually have ie thinking that sharing religious material means you believe or are promoting that religion. You for instance would never go to the Islam section because you don't want that badge on your profile, you think it makes you somehow treacherous to your religion, an atheist has no such qualms.

And there was me about to yell that you are biased where buda is concerned, lol.

What say ye, FxMasterz? Mr Lord has been asked.

https://www.nairaland.com/4721331/atheist-islam-muslims

FxMasterz:
That confirms what Triplechoice has observed about you.

All the links you shared prove beyond reasonable doubts that you're not an atheist. No atheist will go anywhere sharing educative materials relating to any form of religion, whether esoteric or not, except for the purpose of criticism. Ask lordreed.

Seriously? And of all the people you ask me to ask, My Lordreed, who I could say knows me a lot more than you do?

Ah well, here is a post I just finished "sharing". Note how much god that atheist buda has inserted in it and perhaps learn that not all atheists must conform to your view.

QuinQ:
If you THINK, you'd realize freewill is a well-camouflged illusion to begin with.
Saying a human has freewill is EXACTLY like saying AI has freewill

I must most strongly disagree.

Just the basics of what time you wake up in the today is up to your own freewill (least if you are not a child subject to others), as is whether you turn right at this very moment or turn left. Even whether you eat today or not is subject to your very own free will to provide your own food or not.

The Bible God recognised the loss of that battle of control versus free will when it is written to have lost it over Adam when Eve asserted her freewill, despite the absurd attempt to make it seem it was a serpent's will.

You say "modern technology", so why not use a more credible product of science instead of some ridiculous and absurd patent? Is it that you don't know that one can patent just about anything?

Anyway, to your question. Can Devices Influence Humans? (Edited because the last part is missing).

My answer is yes.

Take the mobile phone. In the past, a reply to a letter sent to England will arrive back no sooner than 3 months, but now you can just dial a number and talk to the person in real time.

This has enabled, amongst other things, requests to be responded to instantly, such that delays are much minimised, which might change the results if such instant communication had not been possible.

As a side , there were objections to the introduction of the loom for fear of job displacement and wage cuts for skilled hand weavers. It led to protests like the Luddite movement.

Some even objected to the introduction of electricity.

YomiSams did science here.

I'm not claiming all he said is accurate, but he at least went to the rock and investigated with his own senses instead of believing all he'd heard.

Please know that I am promoting his work and want you to go to his tube and like it please.
Thank you.
