Oh my Lawwwd. How old are you? Wait am i talking to a child in secondary school? You still want to give a test (even if you are in a position to do so) about faith you yourself said we shd drop and facts?

Why are you doing this to yourself. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Lmaoooo.

Chai this confused demon possessed kids from demonic backgrounds won't kill me with lafta.

you are quoting someone. I never asked you to drop faith. Now I am telling you in particular, use your faith and do the test. Thanks for laughing at your god on my behalf for giving silly excuse on some simple test

I don't think there is future anywhere except the one we create.
Often times people talk about future and sit around doing nothing.

Can the future we hope for really come to us?

Someone once said "When I look at the front I can't seem to see any future waiting for me, it seems more like am going to create it and I don't know how to go about that.

Am just too tired and fed up to be living like this."

So guys what do you think about this future thing?

Coz some people are just waiting for the future to come just like waiting for Jesus Christ to come which can never happen

Tomorrow is for those who prepare for it today. The future consists series of tomorrows.
Therefore, the future is for those who makes planning a daily and continuous endeavour.

And this guy was the smartest boy in his class oo. Your class must be full of imbeciles for you to be the smartest amongst them. Oh Lawwd. What's the name of your school?

argumentum ad hominem. Face the practical or your god doesn't exist. Stop looking for straws to clutch on to

701ecilana:
I don't expect this from a very intelligent person. The Elijah you are busy quoting, did he turn the Baal worshippers to Yahweh worshippers, or were the Baal worshippers give God any ultimatum as you are doing now?

Wow, what does atheists call intelligence sef?

hehehehe, so you are saying your god cannot do this? Tell me lemme know if I should give another test

butterflylion:
Do you see why I said your confusion has horns? Right here in your comment you began with a denial of your very own comments and further down you accepted your comment but termed it a slip of tongue. No be only slip of tongue na slip of finger.

How can a human being first deny an actual comment he made and then in the same breath accept that he made it but placed it under "slip of tongue" if such a person isn't confused?

Your horns are growing!

no longer dropping of faith as excuse. Its now denial. Bro, your god failed his existences test woefully. Go and rest like your goons are already doing.

butterflylion:
You mean the same thread you asked me to keep my faith aside and promised to present your facts if I did. And when I did you quickly ran back to demanding proof of my faith when you failed to produce your facts?

Remember I told you on that same thread that your confusion has horns? Well that statement hasn't changed.

When I said drop you faith, I quoted and was referring to you alone but I gave a generally practical where I quoted you and several others I never told to drop their faith. Also I never stated in the practical that faith should be dropped.

Other guys ran from the test with no excuse. But you, after looking left and right and nothing to hold on to, chose to inherit a statement from another discussion to be related with entirely another discussion which have to do with people that were not present or aware or concerned with the previous discussion.

Smart try bro. I give it to you.

OK sorry now, my bad. That was a slip of tongue. Oya use your faith this time and do the practical.

only talk you sabi, do small practical you are giving dozens of excuses.

butterflylion:
Can you prove to me that what you are saying is the truth? Can you prove to me that your atheistic comments against religion or theism is the truth?

yes I can only if you do my practical assignment on the other thread.

purem:
Be sincere

what is arrogant in saying the truth and unapologetic about it?

purem:
U shud check his comments and posts to see more

I have not seen any so show me one

purem:
U shud understand what I wrote am not bashing him
Am just letting him know he's not an atheist

I have never seen otem mentioned anywhere that he is an atheist. And why are you so concerned if I should ask? As if there is a fixed cash being shared amongst atheist, hence excluding otem will mean greater share.

In my opinion, superstitious believes are not to be respected in anyway. Especially the harmful ones. Such as those making people believe sacrifice of human parts can bring wealth (also known as ritual killing), those involving fraud and extortion (tithing and offerings), those involving believe that prayer will give you job and make you pass exams against hardworking, that a car can travel for miles with an empty petrol tank, etc.

If not accepting any of these is arrogance. Then I'm glad being arrogant

purem:
Because you are too desperate I will just jump to number 10


(10) RESPECT THE BELIEVES OF OTHERS

Let your rationality guide you, but do not let it lead you astray. Following a religion does not make anyone superior, nor does your atheism make you superior to anyone. Atheism has no dogma. Don't be fanatical when discussing your beliefs with others, and try not to be pretentious. It's fine to be passionate about your beliefs, but there is no need to dismiss people for their methods of creating meaning.
An atheist respecting the beliefs of religious people is no different than a Jewish person respecting a Catholic's views. Remember that their views cannot be proved or disproved.
If someone attacks with their opinions, you have every right to defend your decision. Consider, however, whether it will help either of you to argue about your difference in belief. Consider whether either of you is actually going to change his or her stance on the subject

If you take your own advise, you won't be bashing otematum. Bros align!

purem, it is evident you are here for attack.
Why the assumption that hopefullandlord is arrogant? Can you point out any display of his arrogance on nairaland?

EzeLevi:
All correct
But Faith without work is dead..

Meaning faith on its own is dead. Why not work then and forget the faith?

6. Faith does not give you the answers, it only stops you from asking the questions

Babalawos:
Wash your eyes with pepper

wicked babalawos

I be plan consult your shrine but with this, I no dey come again

decatalyst:
Will you shut up?

why e pain you? Truth is indeed bitter!

Dedicate to another god or the one that was watching while its worshipers are slaughtered in cold blood?

Mbkite:
Doctors and all concerned nairalanders, I really need to know if there is any treatment for itching especially after morning bath. I have used up all means known to me including, bathing hot water, applying aboniki after bath, etc. I brought this to nairaland believing to get a lasting solution. Thank you my good people.

Your condition is called aquagenic pruritus. Just google for a cure, you might get a solution.

I use to suffer from this in the past. I tried the cure I got from google. I don't know whether they worked though but I suddenly stopped suffering from it. When it stopped, I didn't know

hopefulLandlord:
To answer OP, all theists can claim is number 2 and you've made it useless and rightly so

Too often, people act like faith is a virtue--as if believing something in the absence of evidence is an admirable quality that more should aspire to. This is disastrous for the future of civilization.
Faith is, at best, an emergency backup option for when real knowledge--the best way to address questions and reach conclusions--is unavailable. It's a spare tire; nowhere near as good as the real thing, but sometimes necessary in emergencies. It should never be the preferred choice.

i'm surprised though. They all seem to be avoiding this thread like plague.

hopefulLandlord:
Number 3 isn't necessarily true though, many religion don't have "books"

Everyone likes to travel with their personal car does not necessarily imply I meant everyone owns a personal car. Since I used all and their , it means all those who already have and not necessarily the universal set

Everyone knows all gods cannot be real
Therefore some or all gods must be fake

Some believers are convince through faith. Faith works for all gods
Therefore, faith works for fake gods

Some believers are inspired by their holy book. All religion are inspired by their holy book
Therefore, fake holy book can be inspiring

Some believers are convinced by their love of god. Many different god are loved by believers.
Therefore you can love a fake god

Some believers are convinced their prayers are answered. All gods are believed to answer prayers
Therefore, fake gods answer prayers

Some believers believe their god protect and watch over them. All gods protect and watch over believers
Therefore, fake gods watch and protect believers

With all these, how then do you differentiate a true god from an invented god?

gabe:
yes you can. just say 'hi, I'm an atheist now n I really want us to share ideas. sorry for all d nasty things I said to u.'

Thanks, I'll try that

hopefulLandlord:
you do have a point, maybe he's just "Irreligious"

to me, he is an upcoming atheist. I passed through this stage, then agnostic before becoming an atheist.

Just like all deist and agnostics, he is only finding it difficult and challenging adapting to change.

It took me 5 good years from this stage to atheism. It was a tough battle but I just had to painfully accept reality

Well written @johnydon22

Horlufemi:
It takes more faith to believe in no creator than to believe in one.

Yes, just like it takes more wealth to be poor than to be rich

NairalandSARS:
No, it shows your test in not foolproof.

No, It shows god's existence cant be practically proven. Talk is cheap you know. Anyone can talk any nonexistent into existent

butterflylion:
You are the one who insisted on having facts and begged that we drop our faith so we logically and with open minds view your facts. We did ooo. But now you refuse showing us your facts but insist on seeing our faith. This is nothing but confusion raised to power infinity.

Do the practicals ogbeni and stop whining. I only gave you a preliminary test you could do with your faith and you failed woefully. How then do you expect to pass the main test without nothing like faith to hold on to? If you can't pass with expo, is it without expo you want to pass?

NairalandSARS:
So what if God exists but decides not to take part in this "test"?

then he doesn't exist

butterflylion:
Your comment below. E be like say you don forget am so quickly


[/b]

We dropped our faith at your request and now you are jumping on the faith wagon. Your confusion get horn.

ogbeni do my practical. You are arguing for god and say you dropped your faith just to score cheap point
