AFOLS: @ D sage: it hard to just watch walk out of my life. Reality is smtimes hard. How do I get over this? God help me.

2good: Absolute capitalism and absolute socialism practised in the old Soviet Union are both disastrous. If you've toured Eastern and Western Germany, you will see how disastrous absolute socialism can be as a result of its practice in the Eastern part of Germany after it was partitioned by the Allied force at the end of WW 2. I spent a couple of days in the east and believe me, there're lots of dilapidated and abandoned buildings with few industries in East Germany with many cities scanty because their inhabitants have relocated to the more prosperous West in search of better life. That is what just 46 years practice of communism can do to a country.
You can also see the same problem between North and South Korea. The North is suffering from extreme poverty while the South is prosperous economically because one country accepted socialism while the other embraced government controlled capitalism.
China have stopped practising absolute socialism that was introduced by Chairman Mao that is why they are able to churn out lots of Billionaires and currently have a prosperous and growing economy. Socialism stagnate growth and kills competition.

Martian: Supporting socialism is silly because it puts the goals of the collective over those of the individual. In a society like that, there is bound to be oppression as the leaders of the party seek to force their particular vision on the rest of society. Such a society with too much government involvement in individuals' choices will never acheive sustainable progress because it's inefficient. Hugo Chavez's socialist regime in Venezuela is a current example. Last week, he proposed to seize people's retirement savings and have the state manage the money. Do you want the state touching your money??

lekkie073: Which religion was he? Definitely not a christian.....he was a rosicrucian which is not a religion per se but a fraternal order

thehomer: It seems that you don't understand what we call laws of logic. The laws of logic aren't like the laws written by lawmakers.



Why is your God the exception? I thought you were saying that things are either created by someone else or self created. Which one applies to your God?

thehomer: Newton being religious doesn't mean that those religious beliefs were accurate.

thehomer: I just told you that they weren't created by a person.



What do you mean?

lekkie073: Nowherd in d books was it written that he belonged to a certain religion....whats ur point?

thehomer: I'm referring to the physical and logical laws.



They weren't "created" by someone.

Sagamite: You are a person!

You are an educationist and you type post in these textspeak format, poor grammatical construct and with so much mis-spelling?

You are a cretin!

No wonder our education system is churning out moorons like you.

What would our black smiths (sic), sculptors and enginers (sic) have achieved if not interupted (sic)? person educationist!

Bloody illiterate!

Nothing is wrong with the Western education we practice apart from the fact that, due to misgovernance, fucktards like you can turnaround and say you are an educationist in the system.

thehomer: There are many reasons. e.g the abilities ascribed to them defy the laws of nature, there are numerous cognitive errors associated with the conclusion that a certain person is a witch and many other reasons.



Do you think it is only in Nigeria that people believe in witches?

thehomer: If you believe God will heal you, then why bother going to the doctor or the pharmacist? We know that drugs work without prayer so adding prayer doesn't sound to me like you're doing anything important.



Yes but if a dream hasn't come to pass yet is negative in its content, how can you say that it wasn't sent by God?

lekkie073: Guy, u r very dumb. For ur information isaac newton was a pure atheist, einstein had no religion rather he belonged to an association called rosicrucian, rene descartes denounced christianity.....go and learn!

thehomer: Who says atheists don't deny the existence of witches and wizards? I for one do deny them and money rituals too.

thehomer: Are you telling me that someone who is ill who accepts that they're ill isn't a genuine Christian?

How do you know that a dream that hasn't come to pass will not come to pass? What do you mean by "allow for negativity"? The rain falls on both the just and the unjust.

lekkie073: Was any religion able to make discoveries.....rather, they resist innovation....remember when galileo argued with the church that the earth was not flat as the clerics teach, he was imprisoned. Hundreds of years later the same christians came to agree with what he said....the earth is not flat! If not for atheists/scientists discoveries will be impossible.

logicboy: There are no witches and wizards, there are only people who claim to be. Harry Potter nonsense

logicboy: There are no souls or spirits. They belong the the same waste basket of Santa clause, thor, fairies and elves

Jack65: You told Christians to stop arguing with Atheists yet you have been doing just that for many days now. And oh! I have been reading but not learning anything new.

lekkie073: reasons u must stop arguing with atheists....
An atheist is more enlightened
He is not afraid to keep his head when others r losing theirs
He has broken d shackles of religious cuffs
He has being able to open his inner eyes and see beyond u religioners....lastly.....
If christians and muslims that share the same religious historical background could breed hostilities among one another, then, whats the essence of the religion.....if different christian denominations can castigate themselves, then, somthing is amiss!

Jack65: Jeezz! Are you guys still on it ? Dsage, you should practice what you preach! You told Christians to stop debating with Atheist and here you are firing away with everybody.
People, its better to leave this guy in his delusion. He is confused.

thehomer: It isn't about accepting negativity but about properly analyzing your reasons for making certain conclusions. If the reasoning that leads you to a certain conclusion is flawed, you need to rectify that line of reasoning.
In other words, if you're making your conclusion on some God based on selectively picking your dreams, then one can easily arrive at any conclusion even one opposite to yours using a similarly flawed line of reasoning.

Jenams: Those of u advisin †ЂΞ lady τ̅☺ face her studies & forget abt relationship, am sorry τ̅☺ say, but i tink you all dnt get it. †ЂΞ Decision τ̅☺ date now or not is left for poster τ̅☺ make & she has said she wants τ̅☺, so pls allow her cos she's an adult & give her †ЂΞ advice she craves for. @op, look out for †ЂΞ guy with maturity traits & make sure he is atleast 5years older than U, a graduate wit a stable job.

thehomer: You're supposed to be avoiding cognitive biases. They're problems with reasoning.
