FoodRe: How My Sour Soup, Turned Into Another Woman's Thanksgiving by Epositive(m): 12:33pm On Mar 28, 2021
I can relate.

Early last year, I arranged my old clothes and intended to give it to meruwa whenever he comes around. After a while, my lodgemate came around to play Ludo game and asked about the clothes in the sack, resting beside the door. I explained to him that I wanted to give it to meruwa. No be say these clothes fine self. I am a nerd and don't wear flashy clothes to begin with.

After checking them out, he said they are still fine and asked if he could carry them. I said Yes. The thing is, he is in the same faculty with me, though just an acquaintant.

Long story short, this guy washed them and started wearing them. He even wear some of them to our joint (elective) lectures. I nearly believed that I was wasteful.

It then dawned on me that you might think things are bad for you, but it's far worse for some people. Na manage everybody dey.

FamilyRe: Why Do Men Suddenly Get Ready For Marriage When A Girl Gets Pregnant? by Epositive(m): 9:13am On Mar 15, 2021
crackhaus:
Perhaps in his mind, the lady may not be good enough as a wife, but instead of breaking up with her, he's taking his time trying to decide if a lifetime with her will be worth it.

An unplanned pregnancy however usually makes a man re-evaluate his plans, and this has a lot more to do with the unborn child in the woman's womb than with the woman herself.

What I mean is that, by all indices a man will not suddenly see a lady as good enough for marriage just because she got pregnant for him. It's that desire to be a father (a proper father) that overrides every reservation he may have had about her.
To confirm this notion, some ladies feign pregnancy, watch the guy's reaction to ascertain the worthiness of this risk; pregnancy.

MJBOLT:
one of the biggest reasons religion stilll flourishes is because of child indoctrination,never expose your kids to religion,it is bad for their mental health.
The power of indoctrination should not be underestimated.

During my secondary school days, SOP (songs of praise) is compulsory for every student. As it's a routine to sing from the hymn book every morning. Amidst other religious activities usually observed on the assembly ground. Failure to have a copy attracts punishment. This and many others are what promote religion and its irrationality.

Let me not even talk about parental influence. undecided

Christianity EtcRe: Why Are Most Theists More Hostile Towards Atheists Than Competing Religions? by Epositive(m): 10:54am On Sep 12, 2020
hopefulLandlord:
Has this question ever bothered you?

why is it that the average Christian likes you more when you were a Muslim than when you became an atheist/irreligious?

why is it that the average Muslim likes you more when you were a Christian than when you told them/they discovered you're an atheist?

why is it that the average Pagan likes you more when you were a Christian/Muslim than when you told them/they discovered you're an atheist?

this is one of the biggest head scratching things you'll notice when your atheism is discovered/you come out of the "closet"

let's try to put this thing in logical form, let's say there's this lady neighbour of yours you really like but she's already with this other guy and they seem happy together so you don't bother trying to act on your feelings cuz you feel she won't leave her boyfriend for you (which is sensible)
for some weeks you then notice the guy is not visiting her, you're not a stalker but perhaps you noticed there's a particular time he comes to visit her and his car makes a distinct sound when zooming in and parking, you haven't heard that sound for some weeks so you see the girl jogging and decided to join her, both of you jog for a while and decided to take a short rest before resuming, so you ask after some small talks, "BTW, did George travel? I haven't seen him around for a while" she then says "We broke up"

logically speaking, you'll see this as an opportunity to make her yours now that she's free, you now act on that feeling (with sense, of course) and try to make her yours, your "dream" has a better chance of coming true now more than ever

let's use another analogy, Neymar is arguably the hottest property in world football at the moment cuz he's in the midst of transfer tussle

Neymar has a release clause of €220M, and PSG are apparently ready to pay that, let's say by some chance Neymar frees himself from Barcelona's (his present club) contract and becomes free, shouldn't PSG be even happier to get him now that they don't even need to pay €220M? of course they would cuz a free Neymar is as good as €220M Neymar



why then is it that when it comes to religion in which Christians are supposed to show more love to an ex Muslim who's an atheist, they seem to be more hostile? isn't the Muslim going to hell? isn't this time that he/she is an atheist the best time to draw him closer and attempt to make him see your religion as the true one?

why are Muslims usually more hostile towards ex Christians who are now atheists than they do Christians?

why is it that a Muslim doesn't care if her child has Christian friends and vice versa but would do anything to prevent an atheist from getting close to their child?

why is it that a Christian would rather hire a Muslim than an atheist for a job?

why is it that a Christian would rather help a Muslim in time of need than an atheist?

why is it that a pagan would rather help a Muslim and a Christian than an atheist?

about the "hiring" part, I used to think that maybe they feel an atheist might steal from them without remorse or may even kill them since he doesn't believe in any god but I later realised it doesn't make sense! if a Christian can hire a Muslim knowing that such a Muslim can get a hair up his Arse one day and decide to blow up the establishment of "infidels" to the glory of Allah, how then is such a Muslim different from an atheist? of course no, that doesn't stop him hiring a Muslim, all the bombings he hears of on TV hasn't stopped him, all the Boko Haram killings hasn't stopped him, all the Islamic terrorism he hears of hasn't stopped him, all the beheading he sees circulating hasn't stopped him, he hires the Muslim anyways but the atheist should look elsewhere for jobs

Try to take a babysitting job and tell the Christian parents you're an atheist and they would most likely freak out and hire someone else, tell the Christian parents you're a Muslim and they would most likely give you the job anyways even though there's a chance they'll return and see their "infidel" home in flames, they take the chance anyways


I've always asked myself this question and it always confuses me as there seems to be no logical answer to it, until I reread "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Hans Christian Andersen few days back and the connection was telling

for those who haven't read the story, I'll tell an abridged version of it

a long time ago, a vain emperor who cares about nothing except wearing and displaying clothes hires two weavers who promise him the finest, best suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is either unfit for his position or "hopelessly stupid". The emperor's ministers cannot see the clothes themselves, but pretend that they can for fear of appearing unfit for their positions, and the emperor does the same. Finally, the weavers report that the suit is finished, they mime dressing him, and the emperor marches in procession before his subjects. The townsfolk play along with the pretense, not wanting to appear unfit for their positions or stupid.


I'll pause the story right there,

notice that in this hypothetical scenario, the townsfolk would agree that the emperor isn't naked but that's where all the agreement ends

they can never agree on:

what colour the clothe is

what material the cloth is made of

if the cloth has patterned colour or its just plain

which design was sown

whether the cloth long sleeved or short sleeved

whether the trouser is long or short

whether the cloth is tight or loose fitting

and many other questions concerning this "cloth" in question

If Mr Appleby says "he's wearing green silk" and someone else says "no, it's pink taffeta" and another screams "No! its purple Aposhe" that is merely annoying. I mean, they can argue forever without damaging the illusion.

try to imagine after not having a consensus on the cloth they decide to ask Epositive the properties of the said cloth and he goes "I honestly didn't see any cloth on the emperor, I'm not sure but it looks to me like the emperor was actually naked or maybe my eyes were deceiving me but I saw his junk and his potbelly and no! I'm not hopelessly stupid or unworthy"

try to imagine the reaction of those he's talking to, he has threatened the entire illusion and is not afraid to be called hopelessly stupid and unworthy cuz he knows what he saw, they'll shout him down and might even be ready to harm or kill him for daring to insult their dear emperor


that's why Christians are comfortable having Muslims as best friends and vice versa but would try to avoid atheists as much as possible, they can even marry in an interreligious fashion; at least with a Muslim friend you can both argue which one is the true word of god between Koran and Bible, with other religions they can argue about whose rules are correct, which reinforces that the game is worth playing, while atheists by their existence imply the... game... is.... meaningless

Religion wears many veils. Atheists see through all of them and see nothing real behind them. It drives the religious bananas, more than a challenge from a different religion ever will. There is no common ground.

This is the reason there's less love shown to an atheist than a competing religion, atheists are threatening the illusion

everyday you spend being alive is an insult to them as they believe they owe their survival to their imaginary friend (whichever version they have or whichever cloth they're claiming the emperor is wearing) while you simply wake up everyday without giving thanks to any entity (Emperor is naked!)

every little success you have in your endeavour is a massive blow to them, you're achieving these things without what they deem most essential, god, you're therefore not only claiming the emperor is naked, you're "proving" it!

a Christian prays to Yahweh for journey mercies, a Muslim prays to Allah for the same while you...simply go and come back with no prayer? you're telling them the emperor is naked

every property you acquire is an insult to them and their god cuz you're acquiring these things without any god, they "struggled and prayed" a lot before they achieved it but here you are achieving it without the "prayer" part which they deem to be the most important

everyday you spend not battling an illness makes them feel kinda sick cuz you're threatening the illusion that their god is responsible for that good health

every good thing that happens to you becomes a bad thing to them cuz they believe any good thing can only come from their god or at least a god and when those good things happen, you're proving to them that the emperor is naked

that explains why they would deny you that job and pass it on to a rival/competing religion instead, why they'd rather demote you or even fire you, why they'll rather watch you suffer in life cuz every health problem, every financial problem, every relationship problem you are going through, every huge challenge you face and its weighing on you is a sign to them that their god is somehow real; they're doing this to maintain the illusion that a god needs to be responsible

They don't care what you call the cloth emperor is wearing, you might call it gown, even call it skirt and blouse, maybe call it a wedding dress or crop top; just don't say the emperor is naked
Still relevant. cool
