This is the greatest and the best path from Bauchi state government.

Malala struggle for female education and movement for educating children in the islamic communities has taken it stand in Northern Nigeria. It is a clear fact this islamic terrorist are scared of pen. They hate enlightenment and the power of book......this is the greatest reason they are moving in dark barbaric cave and cattle's rearer age.

This will encourage other parents to give their children proper education. There will be less illiterates in the future and I think this will reduce violence in Northern part of Nigeria.

FrostyZonn: 4) Myth
Atheism is all about being allergic to B.S

Truth
You can never be certain that what you believe to be true is true.

There is no basis in atheism for any
confidence in one’s ability to discern what
is and isn’t true about reality. The reason
for this is because if one’s main instrument
for deriving beliefs about reality (one’s
physical brain) is the product of undirected incidental forces then there is no guarantee that this instrument is accurate in that respect.

In fact, there is much reason to believe our cognitive equipment is faulty. So atheism contains its own internal defeater; if atheism is true, there is no reason for an atheist to be confident that atheism is true.

#Just saying.

Your opinion though.

But your whole claim here is lie. Have any atheist claimed atheism is truth? Do atheist evangelize atheism?

Obviously you forgot or ignorantly didn't realise you are an atheist too. Do you believe in Zeus, Thor, Osiris, Hercule, Allah, King Zoro or the flying pig? Your disbelief in this God/GODS made you an atheist too.

Ask yourself what makes christianity truth among thousands of religion out there or what makes your denomination and version of christianity truth among tens of thousand denominations out there?

FrostyZonn: 7) Myth
Atheism supports Human rights and Equality.

Truth
In the atheist scheme of reality, only that
which has a physical component can exist, so claims of inherent rights or human equality are necessarily understood to be,
like morals, thus wholly illusory.

Take for example the concept of human equality. A person with substantive intelligence would certainly be more valuable than someone with a mental defect.

A healthy person who can contribute to society would have more much worth than an ill or handicapped person – and so in a world where only that which was physical is real, ‘equality’ could not exist.

Much the same could be said of the notions of rights or liberties – these entities can’t be found in a materialistic universe. This would explain in part why wholly atheistic regimes have such atrocious human rights records(China, Cuba, Venezuela, etc) – they are under no obligation to recognize intrinsic human worth.

This is the most stupid and silly post. I think seun should create a button for voting for the most dumb post on nairaland.

I am an Atheist.... I support some of christ teaching like love, charity and respect for authorities. I support Islam doctrines that involve giving charity. I love buddhism for their philosophical concepts. I have posted here praising Mother Theresa, Martin Luther, Malcox and even the Nigerian pastor Tunde Bakare. I have posted here praising Malala for his female education struggle. Who said only atheist support human right and equality?

I am a great fan of African spirituality. I study and admire teachings of Ifa. Ifa does not discriminate women. Women are priest and carry lots in Ifa tradition. Jainism is the best religion I give the crown of non-violent, not torturing even animals, insects and living organism. The religion gives room for human right and equalitys. Jainism is atheist religion and I give it to them the crown of tolerance.

China, russia and communist countries are practising state religion. They have faith, holy books and saviours. Educate yourself

Where are the christians when they are needed?

FrostyZonn: 6) Myth
You are an atheist by virtue of when and where you were born

Truth
A flawed logic

Atheists like to say this about the religious (in an attempt to reduce religious belief
down something we unconsciously inherit
from our parents) but the reality is while
people convert to and from various religions all around the world, atheists are
by in large concentrated in the more advanced industrial nations.

The reason for that is simple – being an atheist really only works for the relatively wealthy and comfortable.

Most of the world outside of industrialized countries must endure the harsh realities of life – hunger, disease violence, shorter lives. This flippant atheist tagline, “ There’s probably no God…now stop worrying and enjoy your life” makes absolutely no sense if one lives in a slum in Africa or India, or under one deals daily with the ravages of drug cartels in some central American city.
Atheists are atheists because they have the luxury of denying the reality of that which gives human lives essential dignity.

Im not very sure you post with your thinking cap on. Were you born a christian or a muslim? If anybody convert to any religion, he/she does that because his/her awareness and conviction to the religion. You are a christian because your parents are either a christian or you are born in a christian household/community or you came across christianity at a point in time. You are not zoroaster because you dont know about it or might have not heard about it. You are not Jain because you have not heard or came in contact with people who practise jainism. If you were born in saudi, you will probably be muslim before you convert to another religion. People were not born with religion. You such a pathetic liar.

Babies are born as agnostist or more likely atheist. Quit this lies for your future

FrostyZonn: The Myths and Truth of Atheism



1) Myth
Atheists believe that life is meaningless.

Truth
On the contrary, religious people often worry that life is meaningless and imagine that it can only be redeemed by the promise of eternal happiness beyond the grave.

Atheists tend to be quite sure that life is precious. Life is imbued with meaning by being really and fully lived. Our relationships with those we love are meaningful now; they need not last forever to be made so. Atheists tend to find this fear of meaninglessness …well…meaningless.

Which of the atheist told you this? Or you have forgotten that it is the religious people that claim without God in person's life, such life is meaningless and misrable?

You religious folks cant provide us the real purpose of life.....what you told us was just inventions from your minds. Even the bible said life and everything we do on earth is vanity upon vanity. The bible points that every man activities is just chasing of winds. Here is an excerpt from the bible :

Ecclesiastes 1
English Standard Version (ESV)

All Is Vanity
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 5:7 NIV
New International Version

Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God.

Ecclesiastes 1:14
New International Version

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:17
(NIV)

17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.


Why on earth and you spreading your gospel with deceit and con lies? Yep....i know the reason you are a christian

You not worthy of discussion.....your lies is too much. Cheers

FrostyZonn: 3) Myth
Atheistic Population is no more a minority

Truth
You will always be a small minority. The reality is as long as there have been recognizable human communities, there have been religious beliefs.

Ideas about God or gods were the foundation of musicality, art, literature, even civilization itself. Our capacity for spiritual comprehension is our most distinguishing factor – perhaps more than any other thing. That is what it means to be human.

Even today, religious belief persists and is growing in the world – and this is made even more the case as primarily secular
societies fade due to lack of procreation. If
several thousand years of human history
and all current trends are any indication,
atheism is in its twilight years not its infancy.

Lies from hell again.

Religion is not culture......culture covers art, music, literature and civilization. Spirituality is completely different from Religion.......religion is only forcing itself and trying to steal spirituality.

African tradition and society is is more secular and atheistic.

In yoruba belief.....ELEDUMARE is not Yahweh but totality of everything in the universe....this is the reason yoruba people worship even their part of body like toes, some pray with breast and private parts. Ori eni (your consciousness) is your God. If you share the same belief with me, you worship with me and if you dont, you dine with me.

Tradition is not religion.....pls stop spreading your ignorance

FrostyZonn: 2) Myth.
Religion is responsible for the greatest crimes in human history.

Truth.
In their opposition to religion, atheists
often like to point out that religious belief
has historically often been a source of violence and persecution.

While this neither proves nor disproves the existence of God; it certainly seems to make a belief in God undesirable.

Unfortunately for atheists, they have some of their own history to deal with. In the early and mid 20 century, atheism, thanks to communism, was at its zenith historically.

More than any time in history, a number of governments were overtly atheistic – there was no religious belief to motivate their leaders and armies. And it was during that time and in those places that the most horrible actions were taken – perhaps the worst in the history of man.

The governments of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, the various leaders of North Korea and Vietnam, as well as various regimes in Eastern Europe, Africa and South America killed tens, perhaps hundreds of millions of people all told. They imprisoned millions more merely for their religious or political beliefs.

The worst forms of torture and forced labor occurred under these systems, and many places have never fully recovered from the ravages of those times. If one were to evaluate beliefs based on
the degree of pain and violence those
beliefs provoked, then atheism would certainly be the standard for motivating
horrible behavior.

The most brutal regimes have been atheistic.

Educate yourself before you post here..... communism is a state religion

Steven Weinberg - "With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

Some mentally imbalanced people use god or religion as a purpose to carry out horrendous acts. If a radical Muslim detonates a suicide bomb, that person is seen by many to be a martyr. If radical Christian kills a doctor for performing abortions, that person is seen by many to be a hero. Without religion, these acts may or may not have been carried out, but the people doing them would be classified as evil by all.

Lesser forms of evil are carried out by otherwise decent people in the name of religion such as misogyny, homophobia, fear mongering, etc. The penalty for apostasy under Sharia Law - even today - is death. This penalty is increasingly unlikely to be carried out since it has been brought to the attention of the rest of the world, but it is still a part of the Law.
--
I like to add to that Weinberg quote Christopher Hitchens' challenge:
Try to think of a good act performed by a person in the name of God or religion that would not have been performed by a non-believer.

Maybe when you compare this, you will come to realise that that statement isn't myth but fact
Now, try to think of an evil act carried out by a person (or group) solely in the name of God or religion that would not have been carried out by a non-believer.

Hypocritical liar

everyone who believes in their religion believes it to be their "way of life". quite ignorant and provincial in reality. Christianity is a religion that originated from judaism and copied most of it doctrine from jewish text.

these does not proof any thing if it is a religion or not. The bible says that Christianity is a religion shown below.
1 Timothy 2:10
1 Timothy 3:15-16
1 Timothy 3:5
Mathew 16:16
Matthew 28:19-20
John 14:26

so keep twisting your lies and continue making bible a bunch hypocritical text. Maybe your pastor should write another christian text which you can quote from.

Liar

mcfynest: SMH. nothing will happen in this world if God doesnt want it to. OK? And i know you as an atheist, but your constant attack of the bible and not the TERRORIST BOOK should tell you that it is true...
peace

Still you dont answer the question im begging answer for.

Stop putting your faith in biggest shame. Here is from your bible.....

1 Peter 3:15
King James Version (KJV)

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

^^^^ check out the pieces in bold.

For your info, im not attacking bible....I post a thread showing my support for christianity once. You are the hypocrite attacking muslims by calling their sacred book terrorist book.

Mind providing answer to my question?

in Jude 14-15 Jude quote from Apocryphal book, Enoch to support his argument. Why then is the Book of Enoch not included in the Biblical canon?

But if Jude is a canonical letter and inspired by God, how he can quotes a Book that is not considered inspired by God by the christians today?

More of this books were not canonized by the church but were quote by bible writers as word of God.

Are what christians regard to as word of God determined by some high profile men in the church or by God himself?

If these books were removed because it contradict christian doctrines or does not smoothen doctrines, could this mean christianity is a scam?

adeaugustus: This is what happens when election is not conducted uniformly.

It's my birthday! Click Like to wish me Happy Birthday. Thanks

Why is it that the news making front page on this your birthday is not good? Are you a criminal?

This guy is really trying to write another epistle......yawn

FrostyZonn: Yes, I would. If they are bold enough to create Facebook profiles detailing their faith or lack of thereof, what then is stopping them from going pubic with it? What are they afraid of? The inevitable whip lash from the public or from their families that doesn't patronize the social media, perhaps? That can only be construed as double standardness from the so-called atheist, if you ask me.

I will appreciate it the day your pastor build a church in Mecca. Anything from this, your thread is just a complete trash

Maxymilliano: For the Chief Of Staff to be outsmarted and ordered around like an errand boy to pay money into a private account, he should be sacked and replace with the con man!

That's the kinda brain the minister ought to have around him, not a docile Chief Of Staff who can't smell fraud from miles away ...

What should will be expecting when daylight robber catch thief? Ole catch Ole

I dont want to hear this news.....arrest the father of oil thieves...GEJ - El rufai

kennyonthrone: Mmy man wat r u sayin

He said Anambra had been invaded by Zombies

In2systems_Tech: ...Subsequently shot them dead... So no intel?

Which Intel are you looking for again? We are tired of keeping this animal in our prison facilities which is built and maintained by tax payers money. This animals should not be allowed to live for another seconds. We are tired jail break. It either they stop this or die. Even I support taking over their wives and children. All of them should die

What is really wrong with people's mentality?

Must person join politics before he/she contributes on the development of the country, state or community?

Must Soludo becomes a governor before he can impact positively and build developmental projects for his state? What the hell is he hungry for power for?

This shows he got nothing to offer

RoyPCain: these people are no muslims; not the way they are. they need to be wiped off, erased without any memory of them ever. you cant shed any blood and this much in time of peace and say you are practicing islam. the muslims should be the first in line of defense against them and also the first wave of offense upon them.

i just watched the fools on the video, above. thse people are pure tribalists wrapped in the garment of Islam. nothing islamic about them. nothing.

If the muslim should be clean from this,,,, we need you guys to form an army and fight against this animal. They are tormenting people, putting people in forever pains and wasting innocent blood in Islam name.....this is it, they are giving Islam a bad name. You know what this mean....when people sees a muslim now, I think they will start running for their life. Who could be the next victim? Nobody wants to.

If you are going to save Islam from this, then lets see muslim reaction about this. It shouldn't end on internet or media. Fight against people destroying or tarnishing your religion. Or else, the mass will grow up against muslims......against Islam....against Hausa. I think by then, we wouldn't separate Weeds from crops....everything will be burn

I really appreciate is as Oshiomhole agrees that he who kills by the sword will die by the sword.

How about him accepting the ground that he who use government office to loot the public fund will be drain to bankrupt by the government office

Edo state governor should also be ready to sign any government official including himself that loot from public fund be convicted and all their wealth and properties should be seized. This will bring equilibrium to signing equation.

The women should organise children, lead them for protest and rain curse on him in front of Channels building

Kudos to GEJ for this project. It is a great project that will boost development, investment growth and structurelize the Eastern part of Nigeria. I think this will make my Igbo brothers and sisters really happy.

All the same, this wont buy you my vote coming 2015 for GEJ. He really tried....I didn't dispute that but if he is doing this to only convince people for casting him more vote or for contesting strategy.. ..he lost on me there.

Any average president can do more than airport.....all the same kudos

Joagbaje: Miracles have been wrought through me apart from the ones I witness through other ministers live and on tv. If you watch loveworld and Emmanuel tv ,you will see live miracles.

God has healed HIV through me ,leg ulcer, blindness, barrenness, and many more.

And you want us to believe in stage works? You saw miracles on tv....? And you still have brain on you? I see the reason you are a christian.

Emart: FOLYKAZE please be serious for once. Most of your posts i've viewed is provocative or senseless. If you don't have any reasonable comment to post, kindly check the next thread. I advice you to be spiritually minded. You don't know that the flesh you posses is not the real you. You are a spirit and you have a soul. Dreams are spiritual symbols that tells us our current status in the waking life.

Dreams are spiritual symbols? From which scientific journal did you read that from?

Erm....I post whatever is on my mind...dont care if you hang for hatred

Nigeria Government and Nigerians

Yungwizzzy: yeye dey smell who is this judge? is he or she trying to justify the girl living with a man that did not pay her bride price? good radiance to bad rubbish.

indirectly he's paying her for the sex service of two years!!

Sex service for 2 years is now 80k? Mehn.....that mean one night is ₦160...add up the balance for afternoon service. The judge is a good mathematician

Jaidey-one:
Oh please... If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Who asked for his opinion btw

14yrs of pdp and no tangible progress at the centre. Instead of working to develop the country, pdp members are busy fighting themselves. Our president and the shepopotamus are busy bullying ameachi and their percieved enemies.

Does this numbskull even know about the faction of pdp that just got registered as a new political party

Someone should please choke this man with dirty socks!!!

Your kindergaten president.....bragging for second term but will wake up come 2015 and find out that his residence in Arss-hole rock is occupied by another person
