Christianity EtcWill Secularism Promote Religious Tolerance In Nigeria ? What's Your Opinion. by DeSepiero(op): 12:13pm On Oct 14, 2017
Religious intolerance is one of the many problems facing Nigeria today. We often see cases where certain groups of people feel that their religion is superior to the other, or that theirs is true while the other is false. In extreme cases, groups resort to violence in a bid to make their point (e.g Boko Haram, Religious conflicts in Kaduna etc).

In Nigeria, government has always promoted religious activities in one way or the other. Also many conflicts in the country since its inception have had some sort of religious bearing.

Religious tolerance involve our ability to accept, respect and coexist peacefully with other individuals of different religious inclinations.

Do you think secularism holds some prospects in proffering solutions to this problem?

Your honest and civil inputs will be valuable

Christianity EtcRe: Would Eliminating Religion Improve The World Or Worsen It? by DeSepiero(m): 10:45am On Oct 14, 2017
Religion shouldn't be eliminated. Rather, people should practice whichever religion that suites them privately in a way that doesn't negatively influence or deprive others of their fundamental rights. Also governments (state) should remain secular or neutral. Government involvement could cause discrimination and conflicts.

Common sense is not common. If you lack the ability to comprehend my post why not spectate from the sideline than showing the public how illiteracy runs in your vein?
Your juvenile idiocy wouldn't allow you to digest my original response to your post before you start throwing insults. Else you'd ponder and understand why your woman would discharge you fjrom the house on a weekend with 20k. She's probably 4ck!ng your boss.

You're quite a unique breed of dumb.

Real Feminism is when you see your man is broke and at home on Friday night, then you deep your hand into your account and say "Babe take this 20k, go an cancel some
bottles with your men" and be happy for me. Not posing # Bosslady , # Slaymama , # Boobae or any of that sort of shits. Scavengers!
So you're gonna take the 20k for real and leave your woman at home alone.

Chai!
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Man Debate The Existence Of A 'god'? A Candid Question. by DeSepiero(m): 8:14pm On Oct 10, 2017
Religion is engraved in various cultures and as we know, cultures encompasses the way of life of people in a given society. It's therefore pertinent that one debates to support or rationalize ones stand on issues bordering on this aspect of ones life.

Which of the question are you trying to answer sir?
@ Desepiero
Purpose for existence of living things.
Christianity EtcRe: Existence Problems; Urgent Answers Needed by DeSepiero(m): 8:06pm On Oct 08, 2017
ABBkelvin:
What is the gain of being giving birth to and existing as human being?
What is the gain and purpose of living on forever till infinity according to religious followers and their various believe?
What is the purpose of existence of living things and non living things?
What is the purpose of existence of higher beings or God inclusive incase it exist(excluding theory of evolution here)?
Nothing actually make sense to me either we live forever or die and it end there. Whichever question you can answer please do. Thread is open to every human being willing to have an input.


Lalasticlala
The cause for a phenomenon (in this case, life / existence) should give insight into its purpose.

If you acquire something for which you don't know its owner / original purpose, you either discard it or find a reason (purpose) for keeping it.

But Your Tithe is not a gift. Neither is it your money. Your Tithe is GOD's SHARE of your Money. And He Directs where it should be taken to. See Malachi 3:10

So how then is uniformity achieved ? What yardstick is used to measure what is good for one and bad for another?

If we are all humans yet have varied moral positions who then regulates adequately what balance we can have in morality when I can have one moral guide in Nigeria and travel to Cameroon and meet something else that is acceptable to them but disgustingly unacceptable to me.

Where do we agree?
Try answering this let me see how it goes?

Yes seriously! Everyone is from one society or another and [s]each can be said to be a representation of the greater good of that society.[/s]

Should there be wars? But each nation and her individuals are fighting for their greater good probably due to greed or selfishness. Take away these vices, would such wars exist?

If I take the life of one I am taking the life of a greater good to another society. Surely you do not think your society is alone so you?
If something brings happiness to a larger population of a society, I can be considered a greater good of such society. That something is a good in that society...further stresses the subjectivity of morality.

I'm indifferent. I have no use for morality.
Is this a way of saying 'I don't judge persons / ideas / actions based on objective or widely accepted moral codes?'

The one murdered was he not also part of the greater good of a society?
Like seriously?
Christianity EtcRe: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DeSepiero(m): 11:40pm On Sep 30, 2017
butterflyl1on:
Does it still not make it murder simply because someone wrote on paper that it's Okay to kill an enemy of state?
You may want to make a point straight up because it seems like a rigmarole.
Laws are made for the greater good of a society and not necessarily for individual profit.
Christianity EtcRe: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DeSepiero(m): 11:32pm On Sep 30, 2017
butterflyl1on:
So killing an enemy of the state is not murder because a pen and paper says it's not?

It's not unlawful that you murdered a man because he is seen as an enemy of the state and the law said for such death is allowed. In other words you got a license to kill in a premeditated manner.
Soldiers do.

Good!

if those who crave sodomy now lobby and harass the Senate / parliament to make it legal and they do. would you subscribe to it as the latest moral law?
If a thing is positive, pleasant and desirable to me, makes me happy, and is not found to harm me or make me sad, then I may subscribe to it. What about you?
Christianity EtcRe: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DeSepiero(m): 10:37pm On Sep 30, 2017
butterflyl1on:
I am not.

The question is who then determines right from wrong as a consensus when what is right to you can be wrong to another and vice versa

This was doctoraliens position
A consensus is not arrived at by one person. In a society such a consensus is reached by a senate / parliament.

So why is it wrong to selflessly allow her play the field Afterall there are men who term themselves cuckolds or swingers and see nothing wrong with such a lifestyle. Why is it wrong to you then if it is right to them?

I can't think of a more selfish act than to bind and personalise other people's love and bodies to us using a symbolic ring and autographed papers. Yet the person making this argument claims love is selfless.

We are not all selfish
When we want a woman (our wife) to have sex with no one else than us, we are being selfish.

You are going off.

If criminal law does not frown at consensual adultery why do we see it as wrong?

Is morality or a lack of no longer based on societal laws?
...because we are individually selfish.

When a man decides to have sex with a lady secretly to satisfy his sexual urges, how does that affect anyone else?
