Hmm OK I won't argue.....

I know one day we shall all receive our judgement from the same God, you people said he not exist....

You have make up your mind not to believe.... No body can change your mind and that why you look for several excuse to back up your point.....

Jesus still love you..

And I know that one day you will receive your judgement from the Flying Spaghetti Monster you people say doesn't exist. FSM loves you.

Eyinjuoluwanimi:
You typing out what I said...

God promises the birth and death of Jesus and it manifest....

Nothing manifested. Stop deceiving yourself. You are not different from those Muslims that see the name of Allah at the bottom of their pots or in a tree. Anything can be misinterpreted to look like it was predicted.

Eyinjuoluwanimi:
Our God the God truth and salvation is the God plan and promise who never fail...

Why don't you go and read your Bible very from beginning to the and see how God promises the birth of Jesus through a virgin and his death for the salvation of World....



Well man have his choice......you choose to believe or not

You mean those stories retroactively edited and deliberately misinterpreted to make it look likes a prediction? Lmao

ublight:
wow. Which of the stories about him are lies. ?

Where do I even begin?

From the story of his birth? That one is a clear lie. Why would God want to hump a woman just to save the world when he could just as well do that without going through all that trouble? He is supposed to be omnipotent for God's sake. It is likely he was born out of wedlock or there were doubts about his paternity so either his followers or his mother made up that story. We know this isn't something new. Alexander The Great's mother told him he was the son of Zeus. Caesar Augustus was called Divi Filius. There are many such examples. And we know that the Romans were occupying Judea during that time. So it's easy to see the parallels.

What about his death? Different books of the gospels can't even agree on what transpired at his grave; the number of angels or the number of first visitors and their gender.

The whole story of his life was made to copy stories from before his time too. I could go on and on.

If there was such a teacher of great power at the time, I am sure the Romans who kept meticulous records and like to talk about great deeds from afar will have rushed down to see him or had him visiting their capital in Rome or something.

ublight:
Wow! What about Jesus

Just as fake as the rest of the stories in the bible. It's possible a teacher by that name existed around the time he is thought to have lived. We know this because he wants the only one then. There were many such movements and teachers around that time. But most of the stories we hear today are just fiction concocted by his followers then corrupted by the early Roman empire to suit their own purposes.

Lol. I like how all the miracles are only restricted to the bible and doesn't work these days.

Coronavirus killing pastors. No miracle.
Boro Haram killing Christians. No miracle.

The only miracles that occur in Christianity are fiction and mythology. No any culture or civilization that exists around Jews and Christians at the time of the story corroborates their story. Just lies upon lies.

So much lies that the modern Jews realize are not tenable in the modern world so they have begun to take it as allegory. But Nigerian Christians still believe the foolish lies and actually act film on the stage of their churches to fake a semblance of it.

The only Christian miracle I believe in is how come lots of people go to church to pack their money and give an obvious conman whose prophecies have failed in the past and will still fail in the future. How their pastor's keep healing the blind and deaf every Sunday but the blind and deaf in their own houses are still blind and deaf. Lol.

That is a very great miraculous suspension of the human intelligence.

ublight:
i wonder why some christians promote juju just in a bid to prove that God exists. Even atheist know that an idol is nothing. Same thing paul said.

Mehn juju na scam.

Because they can't prove their god exists. So they try to appeal to African bias and superstitions thinking it will work. Then they start telling you to go to the market place and do stupid things to test it when you ask them for real proof of the JuJu. Christians are mostly clowns.

For people who believe in the god of Elijah and all the fictional miracles he performed it is funny they can't show you anything but will claim the wonders are in nature

kingxsamz:
Mr man, you're being fooled times without number.
Seeing magic tricks does not make you a man.
If those clowns doing such tricks are brought before soldiers with real guns, I'm sure they'll piss their pants.
And you said you've experienced shootings. Please are you a police officer or a soldier?

That one is just lying through his teeth. He has experienced shootings. As if he is a warlord. Those guys don't even lie with sense any more lol

Let's stop this moronic sayings about not comparing yourself with others. I am tired of reading it everywhere. It is impossible not to compare yourself with others. Such comparisons is how you are able to calibrate your progress in life. If you are unable to do such comparisons it speak to so much apathy on your part that it is likely you will not be successful.

Great people always compare themselves to great people too. Great companies compare themselves to other companies. In a competitive world, you have to be able to compare yourself to what others are doing around you to be able to see your foibles or take advantage of your strengths. You have to be able to know what others did to get to where they are today in order to replicate it or evolve your own methods. It is important not to rest on your laurels because time is actually going no matter what anyone else tells you.

Gaius Julius Caesar compared himself to Alexander The Great. It was part of what drove his ambitions. There are a lot of other examples like that.

What should be condemned is not comparing yourself to other people. But being jealous or greedy or unhappy because you are unable to keep their pace. People must learn to realise that not everyone will be great. Not everyone will become billionaires. Those that did probably never thought that they would get that far in life. They were just doing what they were doing. Just be happy and do your best to progress within the ambit of your present opportunities.

There's not always a blessing in every storm. You guys should stop deceiving yourselves. This is 2020. Sometimes a storm is what it is. A storm.

Also the blessings that are accrueable in the wake of a storm aren't limited to religious nuts like the Oap who think they love or know God. Many people with different persuasions can get blessings in the aftermath of any trying ordeal as such is the nature of ordeals. They make you re-examine your life and choices and probably lead to better outcomes than the status quo ante. This has nothing to do with any deity.

It is high time we started using our heads.

Enskynelson:
Sorry. I have seen if u haven't. And... Do u believe there are juju with powers? Do u believe there are magic powers? I have seen all these. Who created those powers? Man? Who gave man those powers? I want to know where u live that u have never seen juju or magic powers before sha

Stop lying. You haven't seen anything.

So the boobs and ass posting girl has left Nairaland. Lol.

She's not even matured and independent enough to make her own decisions.

Children seeking attention on Nairaland. Her BLW pastor is probably trying to keep her to himself and stopping all the perverts on Nairaland pretending to be Christians from devouring her. She should be thanking him because now she will only be devoured by him alone. LMAO

shekauvsbuhari:
A slave, a servant an apprentice. Related, similar but different. I wrote that slavery was practiced in de bible times but different from de version of slavery europe and america practised in africa. Even an apprentice was refered to as slave in jewry. A hired servant engaged to a master for a fee either by the parents or de person himself was refered to as slave too.

Lol. Let me clear. You are boldly trying to claim that the act of using people for work without paying them, the acts of buying captured and conquered foreigners only for servitude wasn't practiced in the bible?

Are you actually trying to make this claim with a straight face?

NaijaRoyalty:
Most Of the idiots attacking that guy would do exactly what he did to that bird

But because its internet, everybody wan form animal right activists like Oyinbo people .

Owl is a beautiful bird, but people use it to commit evil to their fellow human .

I'm an african and juju dey for Africa.

Even Oyinbo people you under developed Nigerians copy and paste their lifestyle believe in witch craft and witch doctors .

Because you believe in moronic superstitions and will do irrational things doesn't mean we all do. Stop making foolish generalisation. How many oyinbo have you seen setting owls on fire before making your stupid claims?

shekauvsbuhari:
man, right from ancient times slavery was allowed as part of culture but not in de way de colonial masters did it. Slavery was a culture of those days but was abolished as society evolved. You also should not confuse Judaism with christianity. Christianity freed people from the shackles of Judaism. Christianity started from the time of christ and de reason he had issues with the establishment of His time was because he came as a reformer that free people from their control and subjugation. From your write-up, you are ignorant of the teachings of Christ and his brush with the establishment in his efforts to liberate people in His time.

What is this? Even the bible supports slavery. It encourages slaves to obey their master but never encouraged the masters to abolish slavery. That's Paul, the quintessential Christ apostle. So you haven't said anything or rebutted the assertion you quoted. Trying to point fingers at Judaism is a failed endeavour.

BeLookingIDIOT:
How the heck was swine flu a 100 times worse
You say influenza claims 50,000 lives yearly with little done about it but yet coronavirus despite the world shutting down and just about half the year gone has already claimed close to 600,000- more than ten times that number and increasing exponentially.Yet you say it's not a pandemic :-/
How do you reason?

It's probably even more than 1 million lives lost of we actually consider that China and Russia manipulate their numbers.
Conspiracy theorists are just morons.

LordReed:
You guys are just impossible.

The lack of tithe is affecting their brains. So they are fighting anyway possible to discredit the lockdown since their spiritual argument has not had any effect.

Muslims are the worst set of religious morons on this earth. Say what you my about Christianity and their ridiculous beliefs, it is still a hundred times more rational than Islam.

Islam seems to breed mindless foolishness which is why its adherents are more prone to violence and destruction.

This thread is evidence for religious senselessness. I have never seen a worse argument in my life.

The fact that the OP actually thought this is a sound argument deserving of a thread severely impugns his critical thinking ability. What a failure of education.

Usorohtheman:
It happened in Rivers State. one of the riverine villages.

Riverine villages no get name? The reason you don't want to name the place is because you are a cheap liar. You know that some other Nairalanders here can be indigenes of the same place and call out your lies.

Nothing new here.

Funny.

No it's not.

The price you pay for the so-called salvation is even worse. You totally give up your ability to think rationally, deny reality and live on rules even you do not understand because the god you believe in "works in mysterious ways".

Yet there's nothing promised you for getting that salvation that's guaranteed. You cannot heal amputees or raise the dead even though the preacher you follow said you will do greater things. So you console yourself by speaking unknown gibberish in the name of tongues and reveling in tomfoolery and hive-thinking.

You basically have denied your god given intelligence to hold on to a myth. That form of "salvation" isn't free. It costs you your intelligence and individuation.

Another loony.

If some of these Christians today where Jews when Jesus was criticizing the Pharisees, they would have joined in trying to harm Jesus. These guys see their pastors as people that should not be corrected or criticized in any way. They are the Christian equivalent of the Taliban.

gensteejay:
You're only exposing your ignorance.

"Buddhism is often referred to as a non-theistic religion." That's from the site you gave above.

In case, you assume Buddhism is completely atheistic.

Even though you're not facing the reality, Buddhists have different sects and with different beliefs, which you can't merely summarize on a website (like the one you have above).

According to this excerpt, some sects of Bhuddism in India worship Buddha as a god: "It seems ironic that a man whose career was largely based on believing and teaching the oneness of mankind and the equality among people, ended up being worshipped and elevated to the status of a god by some of his followers.

"As strange as this may sound, this is what happened in some Buddhist circles, particularly in India. The Buddha, originally considered a human being (wise and extraordinary, but only a man), gradually entered into the pantheon of the Hindu gods and came to be regarded as one of the many manifestations of the god Vishnu.

"A man of tolerance, intelligence, compassion, peace, what harm could it do to worship him as a deity? His followers perhaps thought that by making him a god the Buddha would become more special, his image more powerful and unique. However, in a tradition like in India, filled with endless gods and goddesses everywhere, to make him a god was also to make him ordinary, just one more god among thousands. Moreover, his image became to coexist with myth, ritual and superstition that corrupted his original message.

"Eventually, the Buddha was swallowed up by the realm of Hindu gods, his importance diminished and Buddhism finally died out in the land where it was born."

https://www.ancient.eu/Siddhartha_Gautama/

Whether you see the reality or not, the fact remains many Buddhists regard Buddah as a god.

He didn't say Buddhism is atheistic oga. Why are you refuting an argument no one made? Because Buddha is not a god doesn't mean Buddhism is atheistic.

Scarcity234:
yes

Great. It means they didn't die then. I feel relieved

ninodaniel:
Lol... OK bro
No vex

Lol

Godspride12:
Well never knew AUTOSAR had an open source part to it. Which SW tool are you using for it? And I guess all these you are talking about is on the BSW layer?

Not my intention to derail this thread. I'll be happy to take the discussion to another thread or private.

To be clear AUTOSAR itself isn't open source. That's why I said "open" because it's designed as an open standard. And over the last few years and lot of open source tools have been built on it and they have been encouraged by companies like the Eclipse Foundation, Daimler and Robert Bosch GmbH. Of course some of those companies also have their own proprietary software they can't share with anyone else. But the standardization makes life easy for everyone.

I am not in any way an AUTOSAR expert or even versed. My major knowledge as of now is in the area of software development I am working on.

That said, enough of me on this thread.

ninodaniel:
His religious rantings has actually changed some ppl including me. Just speak for yourself
Thank u

Lol. As if you didn't already believe in religious nonsense before his rants. It only works for religious nuts. It hasn't affected anybody else. So speak for religious nut jobs.

Godspride12:
Hey dude.

I got interested with the part you talked about an Automotive Software Engineering project.
Did you go through the Scheduling algorithm calculation yourself?
Secondly what platform is it based on?
Finally can embedded automotive sw dev be open source because I was made to understand that most cars run on AUTOSAR platform?

A clue to what you are doing will be nice. I will be interested in knowing what you are doing if it's not a classified information.

Even AUTOSAR is open
Don't worry I will give you the information within the limits of my agreement. Even though the tool is open source it has not been released yet. What I am working on is part of an overall software that was designed for multicore systems. The software was designed to be compatible with AUTOSAR and it's an EU partly funded project. Other sponsors are part of the AUTOSAR partnership.

My own contribution is just creating a simulation of the different aspects that of the features of a system under concern. Let's take schedulers for example. I am implementing some myself and also using some that has already been implemented.

One way will be to simulate the effect of using one scheduler over another or one type of execution time over another. So I am creating a plugin into the software that does just that. There are many other things that can be done with simulation. You get the idea.

Some parts of the project are easy. And some parts are hard. Like the part where I have to randomly select an execution time and it will have to conform to a certain probability distribution curve. I haven't figured it out yet and I have been told that I don't need to work on it because it's hard. But I intend to figure it out because if I do I would already have a good masters thesis topic in the bag.

Danielhouston:
Even banks and government agencies hire highly skilled hackers to look into their systems and help find loopholes or fix certain problems. You think those hackers have University degrees? I know a German guy that works for the Federal crime division of German police and he was recruited at a young age because of his special skill in computer systems.
It is not advisable to drop out, but if you have a skill that is valuable and the Foreigners office decides to change your resident title, why not?

Wait where do you guys get this idea that hackers don't have a university degree? From Hollywood? LMAO.

Most cyber security experts working anywhere that matters have higher degrees. For you to even begin to understand certain exploits mean you have to have been exposed to the computer architecture and other stuff. That's why these big companies fund Professors and other people to do research into these things and protect their investment. Most of the people you guys call hackers in Nigeria are just guys that go online to get info about exploits because there are lots of that online and then replicate them. There are actually very very few original hackers outthere in Nigeria. For every 1 uneducated success story there are 30 otherwise.

And like you said, there are geniuses that don't need education for sure. But trust me, most of these boastful Nigerians that are only good in web design aren't the stuff of genius. Most of them don't even have the foggiest idea about endianess and how it applies to programming. I don't blame them. I blame the Nigerian system that churns out graduates without any project experience and no meaningful exposure and that's why a CS graduate in Nigeria can be giving his final project to an Agric student to do. Thats the height of unseriousness. Which is why most web guys in Nigeria now think they are better than a CS degree. Even Andela was smart enough to know the difference that for long they kept calling their employees technicians.

I am currently working on an open source project in Automotive software engineering. This is where you deal with hard real-time systems where the effectiveness of the scheduling algorithm you choose matters a lot to performance and response of the systems. You also have to consider deadlocks and the best way to avoid race conditions in those circumstances. These are hard problems. A friend of mine got a job in April from a conference we attended in March in another European country. He is working in Edge Computing which is a topic we had done in school the semester before and built projects on it. The kind of things he is doing with computer networking will make you appreciate why computer science is mathematics heavy. Who do you think will be paid better tomorrow by telecoms equipment manufacturers or telecoms companies? Him or a guy that designs website? Who do you think is likely to become CTO in a great company? Who is likely to have job satisfaction that comes with career mobility?

I was working with a Portuguese company part time using Flutter and I can't forget because that's what made me finally decide to leave Nigeria and get a master's degree abroad. This was when Flutter was still in alpha. The kind of little useful tidbits of knowledge these guys had acquired just from what they were taught in school made me realise I was getting too comfortable being considered skilled among willful mediocres. And in the first semester of masters alone I realised the use and need for many things I had been taking for granted in programming languages.

You reading this, if you get an opportunity to study in a good system, take the knowledge seriously and improve yourself. Trust me it will usually pay off in a few years.

And to those that think web design is the greatest form of computer science, keep being a paragon of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
