Ha! i rubbed my atheism in the faces of my course mates, hostel mates and friends, even my parents had hints as to my believe.

At first, i was reluctant to argue with people, but then seeing how irrational some people tend to be and how excellent i was with arguments, i started whooping their assés with rational and logical arguments. Heck i once made this religious girl (who was always attacking me) in my hostel sound stupid in front of everyone, she was so damn embarrassed! She was the first amongst many others.

As of now, its a different ball game, it seems people are now the ones afraid to confront me of my believes, even my parents. I guess their afraid to admit that "I'm a lost soul" or that they see a hint of truth in what i believe, Lol.

Though i no longer consider myself an atheist, I'm more like a "guy searching for truth".
@ Bolded, great!

Usual progression: Religious => Atheist => Agnostic => Pantheist => Who knows...

Once you become an atheist, the first thing that happens is that you kinda become angry.


Why the fvck did they sell me this bullshít. Why is everyone so irrational - unlike the smart, superior me? But remember, we humans are all superfluously irrational.

Lol, there's even a book titled Predictably Irrational - makes an interesting read.


If you look closely, you'll see that our irrationality as a specie even borders on idiocy. Take something as you being from Nigeria as an example. In the name of this imaginary entity, you will 'justifiably' discriminate, fight wars and kill people. Well, because they are from a different imaginary entity.

Nationalism is the infantile disease of mankind, said Einstein. He was so right.


Almost every one of our actions is governed by irrationality. Emotions. And emotions take logic to the cleaners all the time, everyday. Logic just doesn't stand a fvcking chance.

When you 'attack' a religious person with your logic, even if you possess the persuasiveness of a serpent, he FEELS affronted. An affront to his God, an affront to his intelligence and an affront to his person.

And under this beautiful atmosphere, there's no way your message could possibly get through. And to make things worse, you are going against thousands of years of momentum...and years and years of conditioning. Your logic is not that strong - though it has it virtues.


Besides, everyone is right, depending on where their understanding is, and where circumstance has placed them.

For example, if you asked a student in Primary 2, "What is 2 - 3?", her answer would be "it cannot go!" Is she wrong?

Good.

"You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself." ---- Galileo


So instead of going all kung fu-evangelical on their áss. Why not plant seeds instead. "What if...?" Or generally express your opinion, when asked, without being condescending, disrespectful or combative.

And most patiently hope that someday, they might, in a moment of quiet contemplation have some bulbs go off. "What if I was born a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist or a Traditionalist". "If God loves us so much, why would he burn some of us for - wait! - ETERNITY!", "That's incongruent with being all LOVE"

A hole here and a hole there, you have yourself a leaky ship. And once there's a leaky ship, the entire complex is going down, down, down.

Its only a matter of time.

And finally, arguments are blunt instruments which bloody more than they cut (paraphrasing Chief Dr Robert Greene). Believe me, you will lose quite a few friends - if you are the argument guy.


"If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a victory sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent's good will." -------- Benjamin Franklin

Romance › Re: Hello, Please A Brother Needs Ur Advice by BuddhaPalm(m):
This short story, from The 48 Laws of Power, has the answer to your little 'problem':

While serving under the duke Ai of Lu, T'ien Jao, resenting his obscure position, said to his master, "I am going to wander far away like a snow goose."

"What do you mean by that?" inquired the Duke. "Do you see the cock?" said T'ien Jao in reply.

"Its crest is a symbol of civility; its powerful talons suggest strength; its daring to fight any enemy denotes courage; its instinct to invite others whenever food is obtained shows benevolence; and, last but not least, its punctuality in keeping the time through the night gives us an example of veracity.

In spite, however, of these five virtues, the cock is daily killed to fill a dish on your table. Why? The reason is that it is found with in our reach.

On the other hand, the snow goose traverses on one flight a thousand li. Resting in your garden, it preys on your fishes and turtles and pecks your millet. Though devoid of any of the cock's five virtues, yet you prize this bird for the sake of its scarcity. This being so, I shall fly far like a snow goose."

--------------

It is also obvious that you secretly nurse the intent of dating her. Would you take 1/4 of that behaviour from any of your male friends?

Good.

And please, kindly stop typing in CAPS.

Lol at DNA
Russell Brand is most ladies kinda guy with his wicked humour. Think he'll wear Enlightenedsoul out with his pranks.
Humour and wit, yes. He's as sharp as they come. But there's a lot more going on under the hood.

Russell Brand oozes sexuality. Enlightenedsoul described him as hottt [sic]. That's like saying "hot, hot, hot!".

Chris Rock is a very funny marrafoker. But I am certain only a very small minority of women will describe him as hot.

Brand has the charisma of a cult leader.

Agreed women change their minds very easily as long as it suits their present mood. Their heart desires are not set in stone.

Thanks bro aprreciated.
Yes, they can be quite fickle - concerning 'surface' matters.

But when its mating time, their good, ol' DNA takes the controls. And lil' miss DNA's desire/wants really are set in stone.

Russell Brand is not the stereotypical good looking guy. But based off his behaviour, he's right up there at the pinnacle of masculine comeliness.

EnlightenedSoul:
Fair enough. But the common implication that fair-skinned men in general aren't/can't be as masculine as their darker-skinned counterparts is a bald-faced lie, and unfair.
Sure.

Think Sean Connery, Pitt, Russell Brand, etc.

Lol @ being approached by Drake cheesy. You don't mean it shocked. Quite possibly you aren't a lady that gets star-struck.

This light-skinned , dark-skinned categorisation stuff is annoying,and I feel it started to rear its ugly head in recent years. Some folks all of a sudden don't feel good in their skins.No thanks to the black female superstars transforming themselves into snowbunnies overnight.

I saw a documentary by Soledad O'brien couple of years ago, and I was shocked even african americans prefered a lighter skin to a darker skin.... I was shocked!!! Its now an obsession in africa . Black folks won't be overcoming the mental slavery anytime soon.
Hey bro, you need not trouble yourself over nothing. What women say they'd do, and their eventual actions are usually widely different.

My own sister 'prefers' dark guys. Well, so she said. She ditched her dark boyfriend to marry a very fair dude.

When they talk skin-colour, pay no heed. Its the equivalent of a guy saying he prefers chics with a certain colour of nail polish.

Nothing to be taken seriously.

If the Elba dude, came in red, so long as the right behaviour is there, he'd still engender the same effect.

BTW, read your earlier posts, in the morning, on the mechanics of coups. Respect.

I like me some Drake here and there too, but let's be honest here. The other guy has something on him (and it's not his skin tone like we're being made to believe). They're simply not in the same league. I mean, how can Drake be made the poster-child for 'gorgeous light-skinned men', when he isn't even worth a second glance?
Alba is masculine - very. Drake isn't.

Debroslink:
KANU is more successful than Mikel. KANU won 2 EPL titles while Mikel has one. Forget continental titles, we are talking of EPL here. KANU singlehandedly won FA cup for Portsmouth after winning for arsenal.
Very interesting. I never knew he was that good.

Kick-off. Kanu passes the ball to himself, dribbles eleven players and scores. Repeat.

Nobody, in a team, single-handedly does anything. Not Messi, not Ronaldo, not even Maradona.

TheNaijan:
I can't joint a group to chat with girls... A girl needs something more than just a message before she replies you; except she your close friend or a colleague...she has to be attracted to you, or find you of importance... which is usually through the way she perceives you...
Girls love the validation they get when they flake guys (AKA not to reply to your text or chat)...
When they do this don't message with messages like: "didn't u see my message? Why u not replying? Please reply me, etc"...makes you appear even needy and of low value...That is why I speak of options... approach, approach....approach... It helps you as a man...But you game should be solid and not lame...a girl shouldn't make you feel shy or embarrassed...
Never make a girl think she is your everything...if you do-she owns you and maybe can use you the way she wants...
Every guy needs a good game...

Working out builds a guys testosterone, body, and hence gives him a more masculine outlook... Girls are attracted to that... And it helps builds a guys confidence...changes his mindset to a level.

I prefer physical approaches than online stuff... You see her...you go talk to her... you build an attraction and escalate... that's if you want her...but for me, I talk with random girls to build my confidence levels generally...
These and some of the things I have already stated are important for a successful game...confidence...etc

Ok. I'll interpret:

@ OP

You need a change of girlfriend. Currently, there are gorgeous mannequins, flawless statues and life-sized, life-like sex dolls in the market. They don't sweat, eat or take a shít.

They are perfect, for you that is.

JayKaba:
PhD degree is not a certification of intelligence. It only takes the knowledge of an aspect of a singular discipline to obtain a PhD. A PhD holder in Sociology for example would definitely not know how to solve the least Calculus problem. GEJ does not have a PhD in management or "governance" so his PhD degree should not be a subject of reference when trying to castigate his style of leadership.

Hey bro. What you say doesn't matter - at all.

Picture your hottest girl, would you not listen if she talks about her cat or her hair or the blister on her feet? I might not, but you fvcking would.

Your problem is really not what to say. You're 19, so have most likely been talking for about 17 years. You're a fvcking talking expert!

Your problem is you don't TRUST that what you have to say is valuable enough.

ANYTHING you say is the most important thing that can ever be said!

Its valuable and worthy - because YOU are the one saying it.

Even, when a girl becomes attracted to you, she really does stop hearing what you say. She FEELS you.
