plaetton:
Well,
Thank you.
You are honest enough to agree that god doesn't make sense.

Yeah...to the natural man (Don't forget to add that).
It's good if you know just THAT. It'd be a good start indeed.

plaetton:
You know, my friend, I am sure you must at one point in your life wonder, if you studied human at all, why a wise and brilliant god would design humans with raging sexual hormones and urges that automatically kick at age 12 or so.
The same god tells you to completely ignore the persistent and menacing hormones all your life until you find one mate with whom enjoy intimacy all your life, even though same natural, god designed hormones keep asking for more variety in the intimate diet.
Don't you think that something is wrong with that picture?

I went through your Nairaland history and found you're an ardent campaigner against theism. You've heard the answer to this question you're asking me time and again and haven't yet come to terms with them, neither do I expect you to do with mine--if I were to give one.
Mr., God is not a democrat, His infinite love nevertheless. His ways are not 'thought out.' He wants those who will accept without questioning. Kinda weird? That's our God. He's weird...to the natural man.
Henceforth, I enjoin you not to try to 'reason out' God anymore. YOU can't get it...it'd be weird.
God bless you.

robedu:
Aww.. Blessing! didn't know you will come to publicize this, i am very happy you are enjoying your union,

God bless you a thousand times

You've been a blessing to mankind. I wish our world can have more of people such as you. I don't know how to express my appreciation and love for what you've done. In fact, tears are almost beginning to well up in my eyes. GOD BLESS YOU. May God himself secure your marriage.
I hope to be of help to people in similar ways later in time, God helping me. You've even been a source of encouragement to my dreams.
Once again, GOD BLESS YOU.

jayriginal:
You just dey talk your own dey go. No attempt to address the issues.

From your first post on this topic, I infer the 'issue at hand' is the 'devastating' effect of the op's 'view.' In a concise statement, what are these 'devastating' effects?
'Obey or else...'?

Obalende:
To hell with you and your religious mumbo jumbo...
first sex is overrated, it isnt actually all that. some men even just prefer BJs to sex.
Second, when then can the christian get laid. You wait from age 18 to 33 no sex, you get married after your prime at 33 and now if ur wife is 25 and above, she is not actually in her prime, then she may not be giving you sex or romantic experiences as at when you need it.

So the christian life is a call to sexual deprivation?

Give the bible verses to support.

God...bless you.

jayriginal:
Well, Boko haram might use similar logic.

Lets try it out.

Loss of life or not, whats more important is following the instructions of our faith. Regardless of the form of view, an end is what is needed-- enforcement of sharia nationwide.

Have you heard this before "Kill them all, God will know His own"? I invite you to read about it and apply to the discussion on the insignificance of devastating views.

Oh and one more thing, it is one thing to wish to live a life of celibacy or to see it as desirable, but to compel others to do so especially by dishonest and/or uninformed means is quite another thing.

The life we're called unto is a life without any form of sexual experience with (or without) any other, apart from one's spouse.
If THAT is what you call celibacy, it's a very fundamental part of Christianity.
Like the op corroborated, sex outside marriage is the very involvement with devastating consequences.

jayriginal:
Sometimes, people ask why atheists wont leave Christians alone. The OP is one reason. His reason borders on the comical but is actually quite dangerous. There are others who have more devastating views based on their faith.

'Devastating' view or not, what's more important is abstaining from sexual sin--the sin against God and one's own body. Regardless of the form of 'view,' an end is what is need--sexual purity. Any 'view' that permits--in any form-- sexual immorality is out of it!
We've been called unto a life of purity, of holiness. That's it.

Princecalm:
Tough time never last.

Yeah...tough people do.

Wow! God bless the op. Insightful!

*exhales* Tough times indeed....
There's always hope.
Weldone op.

lanicky:
Lol.."Night of two virgins" funny movie indeed.
I don't believe there's a male virgin in dis world....it's either they're secondary virgin or experienced virgin. Talk about those WET DREAMS of theirs

Excuse me! Wet dreams are natural and are not optional. They are reflex. Wet dreams are very far from xes. Got that?!

dechandel:
That number 7 is so true..
Ask Caroline Danjuma

Not all pretty girls spend an hour in front of the mirror. I actually spend an hour and half. Mood and occassion depends

Most pretty girls are not sociable. Then you havent met me

Most pretty girls are not intelligent?? Stop the stereotype!! Some girls do have it all
Can i be excused to say that all handsome guys are cheats Nope

You just gotta love pretty chicks

Who's Caroline Danjuma? You?

Oildichotomy:
I am not bad-looking I think but pretty girls are too fond of themselves.

I leave them to their fate and concentrate on the ones with character, if beauty comes along with it , that is just a plus.

I can always compensate for my children looks with my genes

Hillarious. Compesating genes.... NO TIME!

Wow!

Adedayo516:
I don't do this normally but then I would do now. HOD Geology(God father and mentor) .. But then, I did like to believe he meant faculty

Merci.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Adedayo516:
I was told now that UI starting from the next session would stop the crossing over from one course to another... Source : very reliable

Hello.
Sorry I'm bringing up an old post. Could you tell me who told you this?
Thanks.

HE NEVER SAID 'ONLY GOD KNOWS...'!!!!! THIS IS ONE THING I FIND ANNOYING ABOUT THE PRESS, THEY MANIPULTATE STATEMENTS TO SUIT THEMSELVES.
NONSENSE!
'God knows...,' is it 'Only God knows'? Why was ONLY added if not for selfish and insincere reasons?
It's getting highly irritating! I would hardly believe anything I hear from mass media anymore, especially in whole!


P. S.: I take my stance from first hand information, I was at the meeting. Potential stalkers, take note.

TRASH!

What exactly is happening? I went through the op and DID NOT see ANY of the man's quotes stating according to the topic. The closest to the claimed statement was "On what would happen having prophesied that the two leading presidential candidates would not be president after February elections, the 64-year-old prophet vacillated, saying: “I can see the glory of Nigeria in the South East and I don’t agree with Wole Soyinka that Jonathan is Nebuchadnezzar; Jonathan IS a FORERUNNUR TO THE GLORY OF GOD.” NOWHERE IN THE PIECE DID THE MAN STATE THAT NEITHER OF THE ASPIRANTS WILL RTLE AFTER FEB 14. In fact, he approved of Jonathan.
If he stated so truly, let the op QUOTE him. Otherwise, the topic is all trashy.

P.S.: I couldn't use the NL quote as I would. Thanks for understanding.

No, they don't.

TIME?!

BabaAlabi:
Congrats on your 2.1 but it is not totally improbable to graduate with a good G.P after doing badly in first year. In Uniben, the first and second year gp comprises of only a minute percent of the total gp when compared to the penultimate and final year.

Huh? Can you please enlighten me on how the CGPA is calculated with respect to the levels then?

Engrtemmy:

Interesting. No disagreement with the list. Well expectant of the list too.

Special note to the 'Perfectionist' and the 'NO THOUGHT' syndrome (Nos. 5&6).
Well informative.

Chemical2:
My candid opinion on this is that MS in Chemical engineering after a B.Sc in chemistry will not be of very good use to any employer as most that require MS require a bachelor's degree in engineering except you are going to study/work in places like the US where you can easily switch from theater arts/switch to engineering and still be recognized as an engineer. Mind you having an MS in Chemical engineering does not make you an engineer. The bachelor's degree in engineering makes you an engineer( as required by most engineering bodies including NSE). Let him stick with the sciences..

Merci!! You nailed it. It's good discussing with you.
Once again, many thanks.

Chemical2:
True, many companies wants a background in engineering. Even the ones that requires an M.Sc in engineering often times also requires a B.Sc in engineering. That is the nation we find ourselves. That makes the chemical engineer more competitive than the chemist.

Thanks for being sincere and straight.
Do you think, sir, that going for such degree is worth it, given the "nation we find ourselves in"?

Im Bovi's voice, "Go an...Go an...!"
You could complete it.

Chemical2:
B.Sc or B.Eng in chemical engineering. If a chemist is eligible for that position, it would be explicitly stated in the advert.

Thanks for your reply. What I mean is: many of the ads request for a B.Sc and NOT M.Sc. I'm talkimg about the acceptability of the MSc (in Engineering).

One, she wants to come around for clearance, depicting she's coming for a short stay; clearance shouldn't take more than a week.
By the way, you MUSTN'T sleep on the same bed; not even in the same room if you don't want to have anything with her.
You should be able to endure for a week, or thereabout. Isn't it?

*winks*

Chemical2:
I studied Industrial chemistry

But, most of the vacancies I see for chemical engineers (graduate positions especially) in the country request for a B.Sc (or B.Eng). What do you say about that?

Wow! Now it does not seem very easy for him to win it. He should have been awarded the last time.
I wish him the best, though.
