Science/TechnologyRe: Possibility Of Alien Life (discussion Thread) by davien(m): 8:31pm On Oct 02, 2015
We just don't know how probable life is,nor if life is so improbable that we may be among the first living things out there or so far. But something we can say is that earth life started almost immediately, a mere 3.7 billion years(earliest micro-fossils) as compared to the earth being 4.5 billion years old.

But I won't jump to any conclusions, let the data speak for itself...

davien who told u my husband is already married,i reject it,my husband is somewhere waiting for me,anyway thanks for ur contribution
Here's a simple question, does god give people free will or controls them like dolls? If the former is correct then nobody has been predestined to be your husband and if the later is correct then god obviously doesn't want you to marry now, maybe when you're 70 "your" husband will magically come knocking on your door and swoop you off your walking aides.. .

Okay then, good luck finding "your" husband that's already getting married to someone else...

It takes trust,dedication,patience, and a lot of things to make a marriage work, not a belief that a man/woman is yours... that's as silly as saying poor people deserve to be poor to work to get rich...

I think you should care more about your opinion of yourself and less about people's opinion about you because yours is all that matters.

I have nothing of such because i am the type that care less about what other people think about me, try to live in the moment be yourself and focus on what is more important to you than anything and that is being happy..

I could guess what the cause is but maybe you should minimize sharing that ideology with most people in the public..

I'm speaking as far as Nairaland:

Y'all can't wait for Christian thread to appear on screen and bang! Bang! You're spitting venom everywhere on the thread with so much hate for something that doesn't exist, and so much pain for something you don't believe in. And most of the time the topic has nothing to do with you people, you aren't even mentioned there! And finally, you succeed in derailing the topic - what could have been a lovely discussion between a us Christians.
Do you acknowledge the non-existence of the christian god?

Anthropomorphic entity is not human. The human trait attribute are figurative expression pointing to an existing element.



This does not make your twisted lie truth.



Do you see that you are having comprehensive problem?

I said there is difference between belieiving in God and acknowledging in it existence?

The difference here is very clear. For example, christians acknowledge the existence of other Gods. They accept that some other Gods exist in other cultures. Even these Gods were mentioned in the bible. But do christians believe in these Gods?

For dummy which you are:

do christians acknowledge some other Gods exist? Yes.

Do christians believe in these other Gods? No.

I dont know what is hard to understand here.




You better start up some reading dumbo.

Hinduism is a pantheistic religion. I believe you do not want me to start schooling you on the personhood of hindu Gods.

Deism

Deism[ edit]
In general, most Deists view God as a personal God.


Foolish dumbo. Where are you going to hide your blocked head?



You are too dumb.

God are described as a person but that doesnt make them a person. It is foolishness that you cling on figurative expression which depict man as human rather than decoding the message.



Liar. All theologists agree that the account are metaphor.



Your lies shredded.



Can you explain how it is contradictory?



Shakti is Energy.

Gaia is Earth.

Ogun is Iron.

These Gods existence justified.



Incoherent.

Gaia represent Earth. Natural entity.

Lady Justice represent Law/Justice. Idea.

What more do you want dumbo?



You are not addressing anything.



Running of out of counter argument.



Did you tell us how it is vague? cheesycheesycheesy
Pathetic...

This Folykaze of a guy has a distorted understanding of what Ignosticism is all about.

Take for example.

An atheist will say there is no God, while an Ignostic will tell you that the word God is meaningless and all attributes ascribed to him are either improbable or ludicrous. It's more like Strong Atheism.
You mean weak atheism, because strong atheism presents a definition of the god rejected.

FOLYKAZE:
You expose the foolishness of atheists even more.
* Yawn
I'd hardly see it that way as compared to a person that has to equate terms to present his case, all in all another empty post.

Your attempt to twist my words wont work here. I didnt say at any point that god-belief is figurative. What I said and pointed out is that illustrations, stories and accounts of God which depict God as human or personal entity are figurative.
You can chase your tail all day, it only shows how low and depraved you'd go to present your case.

No one is talking about God belief here. Believing in God is different from accepting and acknowledging in it existence. I am emphasising on the later from the general depiction which postulate God as human.
@bolded, The funny thing about equivocating terms is that you end up sounding like a slowpoke... can a belief in god(god-belief) stand on its own without an acknowledgement and acceptance in the first place? or are you going to sheepishly label god "limestone" this time? smiley

All Gods are personal. They have human attributes and forms. However, they are not human but representation of an entity which exist as Force, Natural entities and Idea.
Really? What happens to the pantheistic and deism god concept? You've trolled yourself off here..

The foolishness of atheism like you and finofaya are looking out for human or person in God which is figurative while leaving out what God is expressing in it context.
What's really foolish here is you keep running around in circles, you keep trying to claim the notion of god has a specific context and when asked you'd keep mute and continue trolling.

You always prove to me that atheism is nothing but noise of people who cannot justify some religious belief. Your ignorance and hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.
*Yawn
Another empty post, I'm not even sure if you actually read your own posts nor understand what you're saying.

1. I have provided Christian, muslim and judaic view on the personhood of God. Non of these three religion agree at any point in time that personhodd of God is factual or present it as fact. They are agree that personhood of God is metaphoric, analogical and figure of speech.
Again, you equate the general definition to the practise, practitioners of those religions whom call themselves "believers" would allege that those "metaphors" are true accounts, hence they believe.

The christian said there is n person called God in the sky or at any place in the universe. That you are blind to see real facts and deceitful to reject facts does not mean others will fall in line with your foolish deceitful trait.
The theology speaks for itself, and so far it speaks of ascension into the clouds and firmaments of waters in it, so you can keep deluding yourself and chasing your tail.

2. Anthropomorphic element is an analogical representation of an existing element.
Again,when you equivocate too much you end up contradicting yourself and making a fool of yourself... (below is a highlight of your post)

Anthropomorphized entity is simply a figurative illustration of an entity. It is more or less personification of an object. The object could be illustrated in drawing and painting, stories and literatures
So which does it express? real entities/elements or figurative ones? smiley

3. This issue has already been justified. You may have problem with other doctrines which believers hold too but the existence of God has been justified by various religion theoloian.
You can either keep typing empty assertions or present them here... something that's been justified can be easily presented, so where is the presentation for god?

These God exist not as human as depicted but as a natural entity, force and idea.
Natural entity like what? poo? sand? You keep begging the question and again you're chasing your tail.


You are the one cowardly looking for dirt in distilled water under the tag of justification.
A classic case of a persecution complex... it's no wonder you keep chasing your tail.
The entirety of your post is pure garbage, either you equate in one section or outright try making an empty claim in another...



Spirituality is one. Religion might try to dilute it but it does not change. You can do some research rather than sitting your dumbass waiting for foly to define spirituality for you.
You definitively have a diaper rash, you made this claim, "Spirituality is not vague", but when it comes down to backing that up with an objective definition you'd run off and tell me to research the term. cheesy

Christianity EtcRe: Is There Any Ignostic Atheist On This Forum? by davien(m): 10:16am On Sep 21, 2015
FOLYKAZE:
1. Anthropomorphization is a process of attributing human form or personality to non personal entity. This entity could be depited as human but it is not human in the real sense. Anthropormophized entities though take the form of human, they are not human. So when an object is been expressed as human having some personal trait, one need to have his attention wrapped not to that human presented but what the human represent.

2. No religion or spirituality accepted that Human trait of God or personal God is real. Rather, they all agree that the human trait of God are meant for figurative expression. A quick check are these;







Let me choose those three for the sake of argument.

Anthropomorphized entities are not human though have human traits and very much personal but they actually exist either as force (impersonal force), natural entities and ideas.

Atheists are the incoherent being who choose to make noise because of some unjustified religion belief. You blindly cling on figurative expression leaving out what this expression represent.

3. Anthropomorphized entity is simply a figurative illustration of an entity. It is more or less personification of an object. The object could be illustrated in drawing and painting, stories and literatures, this does not make such object a human. It does not make the human trait attribution real. However, figurative expression is meant to make an illustration more admirable and understandabe.

It is foolishness like atheists are exhibiting to choose clinging on figurative exression while rather what message the expression is trying to pass across.

It is like using animal while expressing a nation figuratively. One mind is not in the animal but in what the animal represent. Israel was called Sheep. Some nations Lion, Wolf and buffalos. One mind is not clinging on the animals but what the animalis figuratively expression in matter of context. Only the foolish 'God Haters' bark round figurative expression.

4. Spirituality is not vague. You are the one looking at it from your blind religious angle.
Your reply here is just a bloated piece, the point I can find you trying to make is that "Atheists are foolish" because god-beliefs are figurative...

In reality,god-beliefs are figurative expressions of mainly anthropomorphic elements that are presented as factual and it is this claim that the atheist rejects and disbelieves until evidence to justify it is presented.

And again, you're a juvenile troll in that you'd say "spirituality isn't vague" and go on with your strawman without presenting an objective term that best describes it...so have fun with that...

FOLYKAZE:
Ignostic atheists do not just disbleieve in God. They debelieve in the God that is vague, inconsistent and irrational evaluations of what God is. They take their time to evalute what a theist mean by God unlike atheism which disbleieve in everything that has to do with God.

Ignostic atheism is very like spiritual atheism. I dont believe in God defined as a man living behind the wind but I define God as a natural entity and force. As you can see we demand for clarification before accpeting or disclodging God.
You've been trolling here for far too long and have adopted a childish equivocation argument as your sole post..

When deciding whether something falls into a certain definition, all traits shared by members agreed to fit it are highlighted and used to accommodate future inclusions into it..

So right now the traits agreed in a god-belief involve anthropomorphic entities that may/may not exist in human form, may/may not exceed human lifespans and may/may not be believed to interact in nature and may/may not possess the capability to express it's own intent in one form or another.

So redefining a god-belief that is generally regarded and categorized using the above as maybe a "hat" or "car" is not only disingenuous, it is a juvenile equivocation fallacy.

Plus "spiritual" is a vague term also..

I believe agnostic Atheists would still fall into that category since he/she does not posit who/what or how a god/gods is' but leaves it to be defined by the theist before giving any reply on belief, so the term "god" is vague and no different from "ooga booga" to agnostic Atheists..
Christianity EtcRe: Religion Palava. by davien(m): 1:28am On Sep 21, 2015
Many factors are involved,but it's safe to say it starts from indoctrination, that-is :

Indoctrination means teaching someone to accept a set of beliefs without questioning them. http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/indoctrination

So what happens when someone is indoctrinated into a religion that promotes violence and harm towards others?... Since the belief can't be questioned and is used as a source of morality,then any heinous action can be justified with it..

That is the main reason nations that promote religious indoctrination(of violent religions) have higher crime and mortality rates as laws aren't based on secular ideals that can be discussed and changed but from a view that must never be questioned(else face the consequences attributed to disbelievers)

Then we have the promotion of racism, where just because you accept the theology, you're automatically labelled "superior" or "above" everyone else and so everyone else is beneath you and is deserving of whatever action that is permitted that you inflict on them based on theology.

So if enslavement, beheadings, torture, etc are permitted then the believer follows without question,due to indoctrination.

From there we have the promotion of ignorance, where those who "obey and ask questions later" or "obey before complain" are prided as disciples that each believer should follow..
So a religion that promotes or favours blind faith would have followers that are eager to perform any action(including murder) since it's prided as faithful obedience..


All of this revolves around indoctrination into a belief,and since a belief is regarded as a basis for how we interact with people and the environment, then it influences our actions to correspond with what is taught in the religion as moral or expected of you as a believer.
