And my dear Buda, I have told you several times that I KNOW whom I call my God!

But obviously, you feel that it is impossible hence your feeling that I equate belief with knowing. I know the difference even though in the Christian faith, you are required to both know and believe in God.

Knowing God:
Having a personal relationship based on experience with God
Believing God:
Trusting God for what he is yet to do
Or Trusting Gods Words/Promises

Dear Buda,
God has not created man to Live by Food Alone, neither has God Created any man to live by Faith alone, neither has God created any man to live by knowledge alone.

Man is created a logical being
Man is created a physical being
Man is Created a spiritual being
Man is created an emotional being
Man is created to acquire and apply knowledge.

Believing is JUST one aspect of the nature of man.
Even in science, we have a form of believe (hypothesis), we then test such belief/hypothesis. When such a hypothesis fail, it is discarded and a more reasonable hypothesis is proposed.

Therefore, it is NOT true that Any belief negatively affects knowledge.
Unfortunately, you do not see how you do not apply the distinction between your beliefs and what you claim to know of God when it applies to other things. If you did, you would not have stated your belief about atheists as if it were knowledge, which it clearly is not. As I said, you do not believe your mother is your mother unless you doubt whom your mother is, and you would not believe there is money in your bank account unless you are not certain there is money in your bank account.

Do know that a scientist who believes a hypothesis would be negligent in duty if they do not test that belief in order to know if it should be discarded or not, as in, become accepted theory, and no scientist worth study would claim what they believe is factual knowledge. It's why your science teacher did not teach you beliefs, but tried and tested factual theory.

But I'll go further. Jesus taught you to be a scientist, as in, a person who tests beliefs. He condemned those who peddled believes, claiming they do not believe what they tell you to believe. "Woe to them", he said, for giving scorpions instead of life giving bread knowledge. "They do not enter but block the path to those who would". And then he shed his blood so you may learn to use your senses, which is what science is, for which I say, Jesus is indeed Lord, for nothing more Godly can be done than the healing and teaching to use ones God given senses. Amen.
Culture › Re: Why Hausa Don't Assimilate Other Cultures by budaatum:
Queenlovely:
I was wondering why my hausa brothers will not learn the language of their host Community, they don't go to the general school,they have their own school, they have their own market, they live in special neighborhood. They don't share anything with their host Community, They live by a different set of rules within the same society. They have their own mentors, leaders and role models, they don't watch Nollywood, they created their own movie industry. They have their own security outfit, law,
I guess one would expect this from a person who has not himself bothered to share with their Hausa brothers. Those of us who have shared can not possibly share your opinion.

There are third and fourth generation Hausas in the Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun. They came to buy kolanut to die ankara and many have stayed on and married and borne offspring whom today speak more Yoruba than Hausa and marry the locals too. Today, they import maize and beans from the North to package in Ifon for transport to sell all over Yorubaland and if they do not tell you they are Hausas you'd likely never know they are not Yorubas.

You can not keep people at armslenght then accuse them of staying away from you unless your intent is ungood. I will suggest you share so you can be shared with.

You got to wonder if they have no mother or sisters or whether their mother and sisters are like the women they bash. If they had better role models than the oloshos they are used to they would not be in that gang.

Let us pray they have daughters.

shadeyinka:
I honestly don't know how a belief in God affects the knowledge of science negatively.
Any belief negatively affects knowledge, and a believe in what you do not understand, even moreso.

The issue is that you think both what you believe, and knowledge, are the same thing, which they are not. Just think. You can not believe your mother is your mother if you know who your mother is nor can you believe you have money in your bank account if you know there is money in your bank account.

I'm certain you are tempted to respond in the negative to the above but I recommend you think about it for a day or two to avoid responding how you have been programmed to believe.

You do not believe what you know, and if you believe then you really do not know.

You can not "understood" already because evolution is far more complex than that!

I recommend at least 5 years of learning, though a lifetime would be much better. And read your Bible from the beginning to the end to see God evolve and you will evolve in God's image such that when you say "Let there be light", light will be.

Amen.

Indeed my dear buda. They seem so invested in equating everything to magic.
That's how religion makes them reason. They fall on their knees and call for their daily bread from heaven despite evidence they are starving.

I quote [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea%204%3A1-7&version=KJV]Hosea 4:1-7[/url] at them knowing they'd lack understanding and see only what they believe.

Obrigardo:
trump is just toast, he has no future in that rotten GOP anymore. Even if 17 senators don't vote with Dems to convict, a majority maybe like 10 or 11 is enough to tell the gop world that trump is rubbish for their future.

Now the Senate will be forced to call witnesses with the latest news of trump's call with kevin McCarthy. Today will be very interesting.
It's not the Senators that matter, but the voters who are watching all this. Apart from the diehard no brainers on here many would never vote trump again and I bet if he ever runs again, which I personally hope he does just for the humiliation, he'd not get half the votes he got last time.

Except evolution doesn't say a frog became a prince after 40 million years.
Don't you find it funny how they don't realise they do not know what they talk about and how their ignorance is obvious in what they do say?

Makes one wonder how they avoid admitting their ignorance to themselves, but one sees many like them believing even the Bible they never read. If they did read it they'd easily understand evolution.

That's how it has always been and that's how it will be. It's the result of the Presidential system of government in US which is different from the Parliamentary system that Britain uses.
In this instance there's no difference. Most parties are a caucus of different groups who come together for a purpose. The UK Labour Party is a classic example. It's a union of many different groups joining together to oppose other groups, and is why we agree a trump party will diminish the Gops as a union would, after recent events, be almost impossible since trump will tarnish any caucus he joins.

Christianity Etc › The Bane Of False Prophecy by budaatum(op): 11:20pm On Feb 11, 2021
Jeremiah Johnson, a 33-year-old self-described prophet, was one of the few evangelical Christians who took Donald J. Trump’s political future seriously back in 2015.

This track record created a loyal audience of hundreds of thousands of people who follow him on social media and hang on his predictions about such topics as the coronavirus pandemic, the makeup of the Supreme Court, and the possibility of spiritual revival in America. And they took comfort ahead of the presidential election last fall when Mr. Johnson shared a prophetic dream of Mr. Trump stumbling while running the Boston Marathon, until two frail older women emerged from the crowd to help him over the finish line.

So when Joseph R. Biden Jr. was certified as the winner of the election, Mr. Johnson had to admit he had let his followers down.

“I was wrong, I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness,” he wrote in a detailed letter he posted online. “I would like to repent for inaccurately prophesying that Donald Trump would win a second term as the President of the United States.”

The backlash to Mr. Johnson’s apology was immediate. On Facebook, he reported that he received “multiple death threats and thousands upon thousands of emails from Christians saying the nastiest and most vulgar things I have ever heard toward my family and ministry.” He also said he had lost funding from donors who accused him of being “a coward, sellout, and traitor to the Holy Spirit.”

You are spot on. It's been tested so many times and failed woefully. I can remember Green Party, Conservative Party, Independent Party and so many other Parties like that. Only two viable Parties will survive in America and that's the Democratic Party and Republican Party.
You assumption is based on the narrowest definition of 'party' in the American system.

I know about the minor political parties but you and I know the aim of political parties is to win elections and how many elections have minor parties won?even in a multi party democracy only two parties are mostly dominant
Minor parties can win by gaining influence in the main parties. That's what Sanders tried doing and what Buhari did, and what trump would hope to do. Underestimating them is perilous.

Trying to form a new party is a waste of time.
The American system is currently not built for that even in a country with multiple political parties only two parties usually dominate.
They should take their party back or form a new party that will stay irrelevant that is their choice but the GOP is gone.
America already has way more than the coalition of the two main parties you normally hear of so more parties would not be unusual. That said, a Republican split will weaken them.

A legal system where judges and AGs are appointed by Presidents is bastardised.
