Kobojunkie:
When it comes to the human mind, it is near impossible to truly KNOW anything, so when we say "we know..", what we in fact mean instead is " at this time, given specific conditions, we believe....".

It is a pity that you believe what you wrote above, especially after you've confessed that it is impossible for you to know with your own mind what you are talking about. Can you imagine how stupidly ignorant buda will need to be to believe you after you have confessed that you can not know?

Jesus is written to have said, "ask and seek and knock with all your heart and soul and mind and being until you find".

Will you admit that is one command of his that you are willing to disobey? Or was Jesus lying when he said you will find?

Kobojunkie:
When I search my pocket and find nothing on it, I believe that there is at this time there is nothing in my pocket. Nothing wrong with believing there is Nothing in my pocket.

Indeed there is nothing wrong in believeing there is nothing in your pocket if nothing is in your pocket. But there is a lot wrong if you believe in the possibility that there is 10k in your empty pocket!

Kobojunkie:
Now, if you have ever suffered from a mental condition, you can easily relate with those who would search the same pocket, find nothing, but decide still to believe that they are mistaken. The person might even be willing to go as far as to hand the same empty coat to a friend for him to search the pocket on his behalf..anxiety can do that to you.

I agree that if I am mad I can believe there is ₦1m in my empty pocket, and I am flying too when I am only walking.

Kobojunkie:
From my experience, KNOWING comes with having concrete evidence( irrefutable and unconditional) of that which one believes in. Living in a world where change is a major constant makes that kind of knowing hard to come by/realize... So we all remain believers in one way or another. Some believing in Nothing while others choosing instead to believe in Something.

But not as far as the simple contents of my pocket which I can very easily check instead of making up crap inside my pocket. And if I start believing about the contents of my pocket instead of checking so that I may concretely know, sensible people should ignore me when I talk about Gods that I can not check for inside my pocket.

P.s. The pocket of buda is the mind of buda.

Education › Re: See What I Found In A Children's Story Book (GRAPHIC CONTENT) by budaatum: 4:25am On Mar 09, 2021

nnamdiosu:
100% right.

Unfortunately, you just captured a portion of the book, you didn't capture the contents to the end, hence the confusion. Infact the very next page would have explained what the book is about.

Long story cut short, this book is like a sexual education book. It's actually teaching the kids how to identify sexual predators and perverts who abuse them.

The very next page now instructs the children on what to do, if any uncle or aunty does that to them.

And see as my Naija people twist a book teaching their child how to identify and protect themselves from predators into a book that turns them into predators.

Thanks for pointing this out nnamdiosu.
Hopefully, we will learn.

More lies as usual.

The divorce with her ex husband was finalized in August 2013, and Meghan met Prince Harry in July 2016.

Alot of Nairalanders derive joy in peddling lies.

Thank you o!

Aba! Why are people so bitter that they have to lie like this? And how can they lie and think we would not find out they are liars? Don't they even care about their own credibility?

This is actually not true though. Mixed race is definitely not seen as Black in the UK hence why whenever you fill out forms, they specifically ask you to tick either the "Black: African/Carribean" or the "Mixed: African+White",Chinese+White, Indian+White, Carribean+White,Indian+Black" column.

On a form, yes, you'd see African, Caribbean, African+White", Chinese+White, Indian+White etc as self identity, but ask a black person on the street, and they'll more likely say they are black. A good example is Lewis Hamilton. He'll never say "Mixed Race Matters" despite his mother being white. Watch the Premiership too. Its "Black Lives Matter", and not mixed race matters.

I think it stems from Afro-Carribeans from Jamaica and thereabouts. They are technically mixed race as white slave masters bred them through their black slaves (yuk my saying that!), and I think they'd rather be known as black for that reason. As in "you don't own us anymore". Mixed race kinda sounds like the old "half caste", and if you dare call anyone that, you'll likely end up with a bloody nose.

There's two ways of identity. That which you give to yourself, and that which you are given. You could be Chinese-Carribean, or African+Indian, and self identify as such, but man on the street sees black person if you look black till you tell them otherwise.

Harry is the insider hence biased as to the 'actual' cost of marrying into his family. What seems like 'caging' to us is a norm to him.

Like I said, you have not watched the interview!

He is being shown on telly right now in UK with his wife right next to him, telling Oprah how shocked and unexpected the treatment he received was. As in, how unnormal it was from what he grew up with.

And it was not mainly from the family as many have assumed, but from the British press.

Kobojunkie:
Bad analogy!

An atheist has already checked his way and found no evidence of a god .i.e. Such a one has already checked his pocket and finding nothing, is convinced that indeed there is nothing in his pocket -there is no god.

If the atheist has checked the pocket and knows what's there or not, why just believe, and not know?

Try it with mother. Would you ever say you believe your mother is your mother?

Kobojunkie:
An agnostic however has confirmed that there is indeed checked his pocket and found nothing in it, but chooses to displease because he wants to believe in the possibility that there is something in the empty pocket.

What sort of person checks the pocket and confirms and then disbelieves what they found there or not because they want to believein a possibility?

If you check your pocket and find no 10k in it, will you ...... (Even the question makes me lol). Will you believe in the possibility that there is 10k in your empty pocket, kobo?

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ never said if you love,you will obey His commandments?

Try reading John 14 vs 21.

No Kobo. Jesus never said anything of the sort to I buda, and I can not lie or I will burn in hell. I did read it in a book though, John 14 vs 21, to be exact, as quoted below:

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid you are not getting the words tangled up.

An atheist of course may know others who believe in the existence of a God but his personal conviction is that there is none, and this conviction born not necessarily out of ignorance but instead a lack of evidence for the existence of one.

An agnostic on the other hand is one who is unsure.

By the two definitions, you can see the difference is in the conclusion reached. The atheist is decided that since he has no evidence, God is a delusion, whereas for the agnostic, even though there is no evidence, he remains undecided.

buda is getting words mixed up, lol.

If you believe there are no Gods, you don't know whether there are Gods or not and you just have a belief.

Its like you believing you have 10k in your pocket. You believe only because you do not know how much is in your pocket and are not sure. After you've checked your pocket, you will emphatically state that you know how much is in your pocket.

Kobojunkie:
As for obedience, Jesus Christ said that those who love Him are those who obey His commandments and trust in God.

Jesus never said anything of the sort to me Kobo, and I can bet 10k that Jesus never said anything of the sort to you either.

Tell the truth and let the devil be ashamed, one former atheist to another.

Is it not true that you read it in a book?

Christianity Etc › Re: Tell Me How African Atheist Are Different From Christians by budaatum: 9:28pm On Mar 08, 2021

Kobojunkie:
Isn't an atheist one who does not believe at all in the existence of God?

Yeah, wishy washy lazy atheists like those you find on here. True atheists like buda was know whether there are Gods or not.

Just think about it. What's the difference between a person who believes there are Gods and a person who believes there are no Gods? Are they not just mere ignorant believers who by their own admission both do not know?

Kobojunkie:
I know a lot of folks here confuse the two, but yes I was an atheist - I saw no evidence of an a God in the world around me.

Yet you believed there were no Gods which made you an agnostic.

Kobojunkie:
When it came to believing in God, eventually, I had to force myself to obey His call to believe Him even when I saw and had no evidence to the contrary of His existence for the longest - the only clue I had were the patterns that I has observed for the longest which seemed directed no matter how I tried to process them. Not long after I started on the path of obedience, I began to realize that there is in fact a power of sorts out there somewhere interfering and leading me on a sure path - those around me noticed it too and weree afraid.

About what Jesus Christ said, I believe you misunderstand Him.

Obedience? Believe? Yuk. Try understand, and you got buda.

Not an agnostic but an atheist.

Nice swerve without answering! Did you believe no God or did you know no God?

Kobojunkie:
I didn't believe in God but as I got older, my mind began to torment with questions that I became even more driven to find answers for. At first I blame on having a effective brain, but instead the patterns became even clearer and clearer with time, eventually leading me to find God or die.

I was born an atheist who knew there were no Gods and now I'm a theist who doesn't really care if there are Gods or not, since Christ said, "inasmuch as I do for those here whom I see the God I see not is pleased". Thankfully, humans are created in God's image, so if I worship you I've worshipped God.

My many years of atheism have made me incapable of believing, so I guess I am an intellectual theist instead.

I've had her in religious threads where the shallowness of her brain use is glaringly obvious, and I have strenght so long as she stays out the gutter.

She will learn. And I don't need to go on and on for her to. I just let her make a fool of herself so she can see for herself when she reflects as I did with dapshit. They always do, eventually.

As for me, I was an atheist before I came to believe in God and the difference between two states is very clear to me as I am reminded of it every day in my new life.

You were an atheist? I'm surprised. What sort of atheist? The sort who knew there were no Gods, or the sort who believed there were no Gods?
