RickyJesus:
You did not read anything, stop dey lie.

If you read the Bible and also apply the same intelligence devoid of sentiment you would have given up theism.

I didnt read anything yet listed out those books from where?
U didnt even come up with a logical defence on those books which i know u have never ever read in your life
Some of u think there arent well-researched theists in the world...

Open your mind bro...

For all we know, this money may be going the Alpha-Beta way.

pinkPUSSY:
Meaning that whenever Igbos are mocked by urchings about Biafran war, they are equally indirectly mocking the souls of innocent minorities that died during the war


Urchings and confusion ...

No urching should quote me today pls

This aunty spits so much vile that i once read your comments and bursted into tears...Your threads were the reason i ran away from Nairaland at a point but I am glad u no longer do that now

The other trolls from your region arent as badass as you are and they are very easy to handle

If u come back, na for me to deactivate my account be that

9gerian:
True. There were no innocent sides during the war. Mostly propaganda galore to gain sympathy from the world.

Last quarter of 2024 seems promising

Obi is sick, u cant tell me otherwise

This is the lowest of lows

Those who called him a dullard were actually right

TheBillyonaire:
He has said something you do not like?

Cos you are a thief or a friend of a thief?

Nah.... he just lent his voice in support of fraudsters and thats a very terrible way to criticize the govt

If u cant see this, then you are up there with 2 other guys as the worst hypocrites in Nigeria

He could even do a direct attack on the govt but does he have to make Yahoo look like a hustle to be compared to anything at all, especially since he is an Anambra Legend with many followers behind him

Whats the aim of buying a shoe if not to feel??

But since he's from a saner clime, expect Nigerians not to bash him

Illogical hypocrites

obinna58:
Satchet milo and should be 2 minimum, how can you even manage 1 if not extreme poverty

And those that do not take tea at all are at the most extreme level of poverty, I guess

People go just come here dey yarn to show say dem hol raba for hand

Person show u wetin hin buy, u don dey guage hin level of poverty


Our Educational institutes of learning still have alot to teach us, most graduates of Nigerian Universities lack comprehension skill

Facidio:
So the ooni is aowed to leave in opulence while he's surrounded by poor and hungry people with brown dirty old ugly ricketing looking houses everywhere. If it's a pastor that has this now hell would have been let loosed

So he should demolish other peoples old houses or he should build new ones for there


We really need to run an IQ test for all SE people, I know the IQ points will be in the double digits but there a diff between 99 and 12...

Strafudeen:

gaby:

Go read the book 'Sperm War' then u will know that life is bigger than u think

Efna55:
Getting close

Depends on the grass tho

Nature didnt bring forth all these things to kill us


Not all grasses are bad...so it may not really be a big deal when people start eating them

My worry is just the quality of our ecosystem after over 100m already pounced on all the available animals and grasses around us

Biafrannuke:
It'll get to eating grass.

In your Biafra, I guess...

An ancient philosopher suggested that Humans should eat anything fleshy
Yea, I know some animals have poisonous bodies but this person should try eat another unpopular animal instead of lizard

Reptiles are the worst animals in the world, their more evolved and less evolved species belonging to other animal division doesnt look this creepy

2shure:
Death would soon come and take your useless pedophile husband away. Shameless dunce gold digger.

This is the worst thing u can wish your fellow man, not only because no one grants it but also because the wisher will eventually die one day too
Wishing death on people is a waste of time and word

Since Wigwe died, I now have a deeper understanding of the word 'Vanity'

Humans are very much overrated...the odds of dying each day is very high

That aside, Ned dey chop better meat o...Regina looks like a river something

Golan007:

gidgiddy:
This unity beggar has already arrived to protect his useless 'one Nigeria'

I like how u guys make everything tribal

U think your Mazi wouldnt have been freed and even start praying for Nigeria if that Agulu rat won the 2023 election

JessicaRabbit:
While I understand your perspective, I wouldn't say I hold a pre-existing belief about Christians being universally arrogant. However, it's undeniable that certain historical figures and contemporary individuals within the Christian faith have displayed such attitudes, which unfortunately colors how some atheists engage in these discussions. Generally, I just strive to approach each conversation on its own merit, regardless of the other person's religious background. I've encountered many types of apologists in the past, both rational and irrational. Concerning your points about the burden of proof and the pursuit of truth, I stand by my previous statements. The extraordinary claim of a god's existence necessitates compelling evidence, which is independent of whether or not someone chooses to question the status quo. Additionally, the path to knowledge and meaning isn't limited to a specific combination of disciplines. Each individual has the freedom and agency to explore truth through various avenues, as long as critical thinking and open-mindedness are guiding principles. That being said, I duly apologize if I have misrepresented your beliefs. For the avoidance of doubt, my aim is not to force my views upon you. Ultimately, whichever belief(s) you choose to lend credence to is none of my business. I'm only here to address erroneous ideas about atheism and what it encapsulates. I'm just trying to simulate an interesting discussion with respect for facts. We don't have to agree on everything. I believe we can still have a productive dialogue if we approach it with respect, active listening, and a willingness to consider different viewpoints.

I would like to point out the fact that your allusion to the Epic of Gilgamesh as the "oldest book" is an anachronistic fallacy. The text is undeniably ancient, yes. But it was not written "just 1987 years" before the first book of the Bible. There's a significant difference between 1987 years and approximately 3,500 years, which is the estimated age of the earliest fragments of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Perhaps you meant to say it predates Genesis by closer to 2,000 years? Although, even then, attributing "oldest book" status to either is debatable, considering the existence of even older written records like the clay tablets of Mesopotamia. I appreciate your reference to the Bible as a historical source, but it's crucial to remember that confirmation bias can be a pitfall for anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation. I've already told you this. The Bible is, of course, a valuable resource for understanding ancient cultures and societies, but just like any historical document, it requires critical analysis and corroboration with other sources to ensure a complete and objective understanding.

I respectfully disagree with your assertion that other forms of exploration besides science, philosophy and religion are inherently "invalid." Even within the seemingly objective realm of science, interpretations and paradigms shift based on new discoveries. Likewise, the universality of religious beliefs is debatable, considering the vast array of faiths and interpretations across the globe. The pursuit of meaning is a deeply personal journey. While logic and testability are valuable tools in specific fields, they might not always lead to individual fulfillment or existential meaning. Art, music, and other forms of expression can offer unique insights, emotional connection, and a sense of purpose that might not be readily quantifiable or universally validated.

Trying to know the "how of everything" is a rather ambitious goal, wouldn't you say? While your diverse reading is commendable, claiming you've grasped the entirety of knowledge in such vast fields is a tad bit...excessive. Your reference to ancient Greek and Roman philosophy is intriguing. Did you delve into the works of the Epicureans, who questioned the existence of gods and emphasized living a virtuous life based on reason and pleasure? Or perhaps the Stoics, who focused on accepting what we cannot control and living virtuously? Your approach seems to aim more for a pre-determined conclusion rather than a genuine quest for understanding. Claiming to know the "truth" based on reading within specific frameworks raises concerns about confirmation bias (notice how many times I've cited this term for you!)

You also committed an appeal to authority fallacy by implying that scientific advancements by a select few somehow invalidate the collective wisdom of countless ancient historians. While I respect the achievements of these esteemed scientists, dismissing historical accounts entirely paints a dangerously incomplete picture. Remember, science itself relies heavily on historical data and context. Carbon dating wouldn't be possible without historical understanding of radioactive decay, for instance. Also, the claim that ancient historians "wrote also on things they never saw with their own eyes" applies to all historical accounts, not just those you disagree with. How can you be so certain that your chosen interpretation of the Bible, compiled and translated countless times over millennia, is free from bias or misinterpretation?

I'll conclude by painting a picture for you. Imagine a vast landscape we're trying to understand. Science provides the map, religion offers a specific interpretation of the landmark features, and philosophy explores the philosophical implications of the landscape. But just as valuable can be the artist sketching the emotional resonance of the scenery, or the musician capturing its atmosphere through sound. Each perspective adds richness and depth to our overall understanding. I would encourage you to consider a more open-minded approach. Explore these various fields without pre-existing expectations. Embrace the inherent uncertainties and the joy of discovery that comes from continuous learning.

Hello Ma, I don tire to dey write epistles and I am only replying this cause u think i really do not know about Stoicism or Epicureanism

I belonged to the latter school of thought before i realised the former has an answer to everything...Recently done reading 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius and I have read Seneca's Letter to a stoic, even one of his first book titled ' On the shortness of life'


I currently follow a stoic on Youtube by the name Ryan Holiday and i have read all about Discourses of Epicetus

As for Epicurus, I know almost everything availabe to know about him(Everyone knows about that God Paradox)

I also read extensively on Cynism and know alot about Diogenes of Sinope

Thats to put aside the most popular Socrates, Aristotle and Plato

I was once a Buddhist and i still follow all his 8 most important tenets till date

I am saying all this to let u know how much i dedicated my lifr to knowing all about Religion,science and Philosophy and when i talk or write, its actually cause I struggle to find a convincing answer to the big question 'How and why we are here', and the answers, as opined by other fields of knowledge sounded rather more foolish than even what Religion suggested(even with the inconsistencies and unverifiable bogus claims by those Religious books), hence my reason for continued search

I wish i could address your other points but its damn too hard to type abeg


Reading your comments is intimidating...guess the reason u were able to force others in the past to accept your view is cause your use of grammar makes u look like the most enlightened person....

Not about the points u make cause I still struggle to believe anyone would choose Art over Science when it comes to seeking for the truth about anything...Science gives room for criticism, counter argument and verification of claims. We cant say same for Art/Music

Ned Nwoko reasoning dey always scare me

He once talked about passing the bill for individuals to own a lincensed gun
