Coronavirus statistics doesn't shake me again, most people recover from it, deaths is just 2.5%.

Even the healthy die too, is it not better we just protect ourselves and stay safe.

felixomor:
Why dont we just stick to the topic of the earlier discussed comment?

Same as saying how many atheist were Nobel Prize winners especially from 1900-2005

felixomor:
To some extent true and to some extent false,

but majority of the inventors are still within the subgroup "the religious"

One church is not an adequate statistical representation of the group.

How did you know they where religious

I don't get you. Sorry!
I am an Anglican because I was born into that.
I rarely pray and do all those anglican things
I go to church on Sundays but sometimes I argue for church and most times against church.
My religion is christianity
And I am still anglican

felixomor:
Go and study history, the religious people were the pioneers of science and education.

The best universities of the world like Yale, Havard etc were founded on sound belief in God.

You certainly dont do research before posting stuff,

Do you?

They were pioneers because most where dissatisfied with answers religion proferred

felixomor:
If at all a different story exists which I doubt , it doesnt invalidate the achievements of the foundation layers.

Moreover, till this day

Those who believe in God are still on top.

So I dont Know the "different story" you mean.

They still make up the largest chunk of Nobel prize winners, even till date.

Now read up the renaissance and what spurred it.
Modern science began as a result of dissatisfaction with religion. During the inquisition and the great schism peoples and authorities started the schism, the Church, I mean the Roman church never likedthe birth of that era but they have started embracing it.
People were dissatisfied with religion and they found out you could actually study the natural world without a need for what the priest said. The breakaway churches, I mean the protestants were largely responsible for the enlightenment because of dissatisfaction with religious teaching

I am not supporting atheism or gay but how many Nobel Prize winners are gay

Fast forward to 21st century and look at statistics of these religious people. The scientistS of this century have different story to tell. I am aware that religious people found the great institution today because during the renessaince(or the medieval period) in Europe, being irreligious was met with disdain, death. But this last century and now has a different story to tell

KingEbukasBlog:
Mister , I asked for the achievements made by the atheists during the medieval age . Thanks .

You can also peruse the thread and address the strong arguments and evidence presented by we Christians .

Are Anglicans also Christians because I am one. Most Christians in the mediaval era that made a mark on humanity had a problem in one point in their life.
You can ask the atheist

4everGod:
The thread you are refering to about eating in the dream is not this thread. That was even a post and not a thread. I am not insulting you but stating the obvious.

This is a Religous section that people can open individual threads dedicated to their cause and focus and allow others to post on it.

If you do not know how to open a thread or create a topic simply say so and stop claiming intwlligence when a simple Thread..Post...Forum difference you fail to see and understand.

I was born anglican but dumped her when I clearly saw the monotony and no life in her. Even in my time speaking in tongues was forbidden.

Look for where it says "CREATE NEW TOPIC" on the Religion SECTION and start your own THREAD there and stop POSTING on anothers dedicated THREAD that has nothing to do with your POST!

I don't need a thread, when I need one I would create. I read op post and my comment I saw it exigent. Other threads that I see my comments necessary I will do the needful.
Thanks

I am not atheist but I think both religious and non-religious ones has contributed to the human civilization

4everGod:
You have been on Nairaland since 2012 and you still dont know what a THREAD and a POST is? smh.

I think you first of all need a neurological analysis of how it is your brain failed to grasp an understanding of such a simple thing for 4 yrs.

What you are doing is POSTING ON ANOTHERS THREAD. Gosh how can't you understand this? You want to deal on intelligence related issues but here you are unable to know that you are confused or ignorant over something this elementary.

Thanks for the insult. Does your religion not teach courtesy.
I am here to help people. Do you hear me.
So many people in this thread thinks eating in the dream is evil. Many of them as I have read aren't happy about it.
Why are you insulting people and allowing your ideologies cause so much anger and hatred for you.
This is religious thread. I am Anglican, that doesn't make me keep quiet on somethings

Why not it's a sin. Very sinful. Although sometimes the brain is totally in control and we don't know.

4everGod:
Sorry you arrived late on the scene. All you speak about is already being researched so you deserve no response here. If you seek answers on the brain and its neurological functions then go to the science secrion.

I arrived very early because the effects of the Brain on Religion and ideologies is just new although Africa being very backward in education.
I am a medic so the research is pretty new

4everGod:
Are you new on Nairaland? What u are doing is known as derailing a thread. Open your own thread on this same forum even if you want it to be on the religion section and dedicate your theories to that thread. Its not rocket science.

But my thread deals on religion and educating the masses on it. I have been on NAIRALAND since 2012. Sorry but this thread is perfect. I noticed that education were lacking on so many questions on this thread. Like the one that says is LAZINESS A DEMONIC ATTACK

Laziness is not a demonic attack. Meet a doctor and explain

4everGod:
Don't get your hopes up.Open a dedicated thread for that purpose and not here.

This thread is perfect for it, since I got to learn from people as they share their ideologies on religion. It also furthers our knowledge on human brain, its behaviour and how religion helps humanity and how it shapes humanity. Thus no need for another thread because here people ask questions that we have studied, eg eating in the dream, etc.

Here is this three-pound mass of jelly you can hold in the palm of your hand, and it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space. It can contemplate the meaning of infinity and it can contemplate itself contemplating on the meaning of infinity. It can contemplate the meaning of existence and it can contemplate why it even exist

I am not saying that. But in essence we don't know what really miracle is. It's not defined at all. For example an earthquake is said to happen in Italy and maybe it kills 2000 people especially Christians does it mean and spares one Muslim man, does it mean that miracle that occured. You see nature is brutal.
If you go to the wild at night, one in two things Must happen, kill or be killed.

THIS IS A SERIOUS DELUSION!!!

This is just something you formed out of YOUR OWN false analysis and suggestion. You SIMPLY DON'T KNOW!

Wait a minute, in your delusion are you saying that there is nothing like miracles?

This can be a VERY SERIOUS delusion.

Neurology is also dealing on the origins of religion and how the brain percieves it and creates reality from it. How the brain uses ideology to form reality. For example take the Islamic terrorist who uses because of his religion and reward of afterlife to blow people up. We seek to know why the human brain finds that ideology comforting and other ideogies too but I do this on a neutral standpoint. Although Christians are more or less a pacified religion but hatred and bigotry of the Human race is still dominant there. Unlike ISLAM A workable attitude needs to be adopted by Muslim scholars, it would be that Muhammad's actions were acceptable by the standards of his time, but are not valid in present day.

This would be fairly comparable to the modern attitude adopted by Jews, for example, towards the numerous acts of genocide in the Old Testament, invariably carried out by godly men.

The version of Islam propagated by BOKO boys and ISIS is an extremely credible original reading of the Koran, not some mad extremist breakaway.

I am in this room to address questions that I can address especially in religion and atheism. Since this room said religion I will be addressing all religions from Islam to Christianity to African traditional religion.

4everGod:
Why are you repeatedly posting this nonsense everywhere as if you just had a eureka moment and trying to show you are intelligent when you judging by this your post you clearly are not.

Silence is golden you know! It does not expose your ignorance!

I want a response not insult. I didn't know you will see it. Psychologically you saw intelligence in it. I am Anglican but I have a case to make for all religion from African traditional religion to the once obsolete Greek religion.
Believe me you will get to see hard hitting questions that are hard to wish away.
Most of the unknown that defines our reality is a neuronal activity
Here is this three-pound mass of jelly you can hold in the palm of your hand, and it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space. It can contemplate the meaning of infinity and it can contemplate itself contemplating on the meaning of infinity. It can make up stories and still believes it. No matter the story.
I am sorry but my residency in near future is neurology and we tackle the mystery of human brain, how our brain forms reality, what happens in psychotic, schizophrenic patients, how comforting stories are to the human mind. from an introduction from the Regius professor of neurology and Stalk institute associate professor of neurology. It's not my fault I post that.

So, I think that since God is imaginary in your own sense, conscience should be imaginary as well, intelligence should be seen as imaginary as well, good and bad should be seen as imaginary as well.

You see why I have been saying that in atheism NOTHING SEEMS REAL. In a honest sense of atheism, NOTHING MAKES SENSE!

I don't even get you

Please we should Increase our studies of science. So that people become less superstitious

Keep quite my friend, some people you see there can employ and feed your generation. Some came wretched and today they are Billionaires.

What is the statistics of these billionaires and employers

Religion began as an attempt by primitive people to explain the incomprehensible and often frightening events and phenomena that occurred in their lives.

The myths and superstitions that they developed were exploited by those who became the priests and shamans in later times in order to exert control over other tribal members.

It does not take a genius to understand the process that led to religious faith. Faith was fine as long as no-one understood the natural processes that drive our universe. To the irrational and ignorant, one explanation is as plausible as another.

That is why those with a higher degree of education, especially in science are less inclined to believe in magic or miracles. They have found a better explanation which is more intellectually satisfying.

No wonder ultra religious fanatics like the Taliban and Boko Haram want to restrict education and deny their followers the ability to question their assertions. Education is the enemy of religions.
