Buda, isnt the feeling of love just chemical reactions in the brain?

Seriously?

shadeyinka:
Haven't you heard such kinds of argument from Atheists?

No I have not. I do not converse with the sort of brainless people who would say such a stupid thing. I think they must avoid me because I am far too intelligent for such nonsense.

I don't know why you get angry at this simple question.

To whose advantage is living?

The advantage of living is to the one who lives. You lived today to your advantage.

I am not angry that you ask questions! I am angry that you insist on creating crap inside your head and you blind yourself so you can not see it.

So when scientists create advance AI robot they have become like God?

Inherently every tree irrespective of where they are situated will contribute to the Carbon Cycle, Oxygen cycle and conversion of solar energy to food.

Listen carefully to how your brain is working:

Inherently every man will sh!t irrespective of where they are situated, so the purpose of man is to sh!t.

Ask any Atheists if they'll agree that the purpose of man is to love?

Ask anyone and most will not tell you the purpose of man is to love. It is not even the purpose of Christians.

The purpose of humans is to live!

For the rest, go find yourself an atheist to do this stupidity with. buda does not do 'my tits are bigger than your tits' when the purpose is to learn.

I agree, benefit imply "FOR who"?
But the question is WHY?

Can you not see the false assumption you wish to disregard by working to the answer you want?

Why ask "why there is a beneficiary" when you have not found "who" benefits?

shadeyinka:
Is it possible that a man by flapping his hands can fly to the moon?

Is the flapping of hands the only means the person has of getting to the moon or is he just too stupid to try other ways of getting to the moon?

And yes, buda is very angry that you spent all day thinking and this rubbish is what you come up with! angry

If you did know your history, or shall I say, if you ate the fruit of the knowledge of human flight, you would know that getting to the moon started with man flapping his hands.

More coal in trump fire as investigators go after Con Jr!

For months, some of Donald Trump’s top advisers have assured him that he has virtually nothing to fear from the Manhattan district attorney’s tax investigation, which they view as merely “fishing” for information. But investigators with the D.A.'s office have been expanding their criminal probe into Trump’s business empire, asking questions and grilling witnesses—as recently as in the past few days—not only about Trump but particularly about his eldest son, Don Jr., and Allen Weisselberg, one of the former president’s most trusted officers, The Daily Beast has learned.

Ferrari courted controversy in 2019 when rivals raised questions about the Scuderia’s much-improved power unit.

Blatantly accused of “cheating” by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, the FIA launched an investigation that led to Technical Directives being issued regarding fuel flow and oil burning.

Ferrari’s engine lost power and the Scuderia – as well as its customer teams – suffered as a result.

Months later, prior to the start of the 2020 season, after what the FIA called a “thorough technical investigation”, motorsport’s governing body reached a secret agreement with Ferrari.

As to be expected, Ferrari’s rivals were not happy and to this day want details of the settlement to be revealed.

One part of that may have just been leaked by former driver turned steward Salo.

Speaking to Finnish rally driver Sohlberg during a Twitch stream interview, the question of what went wrong for Ferrari and its customer teams came up.

Last year, all three Ferrari-powered teams struggled to match their 2019 pace, losing the most lap time of all the teams on the grid.

Soymotor quotes Salo as having said: “They suffered from Ferrari’s cheat last year because they had Ferrari engines and were forced to use less fuel, so I think so Alfa Romeo may be in a good position if they can perform at their best in the race this season.”

As for buda you are not one of us because you don't have that attribute!

The attribute of seeking, Max, or your attribute of believing you have found in JW instead of in Christ?

You know what, I take it back. Dont join JW, people. Just learn to read from them and move on, because a a Jehova God Almighty worshipper will never say, "you are not one of us"!

Mark 9:38-50 King James Version (KJV)
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

oh am with that. well seeing as its your brainchild you lead and we follow. we dont want too many cooks to spoil the broth now

Reminds me of my childhood. We had this rule in my family that if you did not participate in the preparation of the food your plate will be missing at the dinner table. Of course we had a fantastic coordinator in my amazing most wonderful mother.

Democracy is about everyone cooking so all can eat. We all know our current leaders lock us out of the kitchen and share the food amongst themselves. We must strive to get in the kitchen and contribute to the cooking and the equitable eating of the broth.

I will however try to do what you suggest, with your support.

On the contrary real JWs are born as JWs, there are many of us still practicing Hindu, Buddhism, Islam, Traditional religions and of course in the churches of Christendom.

But you, Max, were not born a JW, and had to convert, so what do you mean "real JWs are born as JWs"?

And how can many of you "still be practicing Hindu, Buddhism, Islam, Traditional religions and of course in the churches of Christendom"? Did JW become liberal like that that you began loving those of other faiths? Is so, then I must too join, as that is the one thing that kept me out.

a very noble cause. am with it. so is the intention to make seun contest for political post in nigeria offline, and is he aware that he is a 2023 candidate against the likes of jagaban and umahi ?

It's not really about seun, just that the formation of the party was inspired by the thread about seun running for president, and our conversation here about the great great great grandchild, or rather, you.

No single person can make our nation what we want it to be, and seun can not alone contest all the rep and senate seats, lol.

Creating the party does not mean one must be the prospective candidate! And if buda formed the party to be prospective candidate, then buda must be disqualified!

People may join who are much better and more capable than buda, so buda is prepared to serve.

i think this nihilist is a new word you picked up lol but you are using it wrongly. try to apply the correct definition to words. i have been through it with you that a nihilist is basically someone who lives carefree and is an atheist. i do not live carefree. i am guided by spiritual and moral principles. very much so. so you may wanna re-check the meaning of nihilism

A nihilist does not need to be an atheist, and carefree is what you described yourself as, and I am asking you to consider the spirituality in the future like 200 years after you may have died.

alright i see my trail of thought is going right over your head. listen you can continue to pay so much emphasis on this dust created physical world and all that comes with it aka pain, strife, suffering, disappointment, discontentment, struggles.,, stress, sadness, etc etc while i will continue to focus on my higher self and keeping my physical life simple with all that comes with it aka contentment, happiness, joy, rest of mind, peace, feeling fulfilled etc etc

Etc like joy, happiness, the energy to make a difference, and leave the world a better place, instead of being a nihilist who only sees the negative?

if you have died 200 years ago does it matter if your greaat great great grandchild found the cure for cancer ? its like that saying if a tree falls down in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a noise ?

Yes it does matter. Though your point is it mattering to the dead woman.

Many years after a guy named David died, a person named Jesus was born. It might not matter to David but it matters to billions around the world!

And a tree that falls in the forest does make a sound. You can go and ask the birds if you do not think it does.

I think the problem with the op is he believes but does not understand. For it is belief that enslaves, while understanding frees.

He admits to having made this error in the past when he claims to have wrongly believed in the Student Union, but he thinks he is now cured despite the fact that he has simply replaced his SU beliefs with different beliefs.

Many do not agree that their belief blinds and subjugates and enslaves them, and instead of accepting responsibility for the condition they place themselves in, they blame others. But those who wish to free themselves might want to learn from Eve to diligently test all things.

alright so a nihilist is someone who rejects all theories of morality and religious belief. well thats not me.

It means more than that. Its a belief in the pointlessness of everything, as you expressed yourself to be!

See? Pointlessness! And you are claiming there is no possibility that her great great great great grandchild might never be president of Africa, or might not be kind to some random individual who finds the cure for cancer, or simply dig a borehole in her community who may be dying of cholera, as if you have a crystal ball in which you see the future.

lekki1444:
the world keeps moving on. all the things she held dearly to her and she thought were very important....

When you say "remembered", I think you mean reward. You want to be remembered and rewarded and praised for the good you do instead of doing good in its own right. You will argue that I'm wrong though because you know it is not the right and desirable way to be thought of.

Suggestion. Abandon your cracked made in China crystal ball.

It's still a mystery how this man conned America to become the president. He deserves a spot in the guinness book of world records.

I think I might know how. I think it's because highly intelligent people like you who work really hard to ensure your eyes and mind work well think others have done the same when the truth is they have not bothered to even know there are two eyes in their heads.

My Lord, they are worse than that. They refuse to see what is in front of their eyes and instead "see" what they believe! And then they think by repeating it they can brainwash one to be blind and believe as they do, or don't, to be more accurate. But what is most annoyingly puzzling is that they will claim the great optician Jesus Christ has done work on their eyes, which makes me just want to ask Him for my money back!

You are very correct in what you said which is that I am shying away from responsibility. listen this is how i see it ? everything we are doing here means nothing and has no value and will be swept away in the sands of time and we will be forgotten and everything will be forgotten. it means absolutely nothing. ......

Absolute utter nonsense, that's what your nihilistic view is, complete ignorant rubbish!

Who says what I do must be remembered, for starts, when even my right hand must not even know what the left did?

And how can you claim that the poor mother I anonymously sent just ₦1000 to 3 years ago so she can apply for the job she got so she is now able to feed the baby she gave birth to after her baby father died in a road accident a year after, is nothing? And has no value? And will be swept away? Is that baby's future "nothing" in your opinion, and of no value?

Because I'm sure you do not know what nihilism is, I am certain you will benefit from this thread! It might make you see better!
