Some atheistic arguments against religion are exceedingly simple to dismiss. For example, consider this common argument:

1. It is only rational to believe in something that has been empirically proven.
2. The claims of religion, such as the claim that God exists, are not empirically proven.
3. Therefore, it is irrational to believe in the claims of religions, such as the claim that God exists.

This argument finds its roots in a European philosophical school called Positivism. Contemporary philosophers, however, by and large do not take Positivism seriously and believe it to be a debunked school of thought. Why?

Because point 1 itself has not been empirically proven, i.e., there is no empirical proof that it is only rational to believe in something that has been empirically proven. Therefore point 1 is self-referentially inconsistent and false, and the argument fails.

Even though academic philosophy has long thrown Positivism in the trash bin, you still find laymen and popular personalities, e.g., “new atheists” like Sam Harris, using these types of arguments and appeals to science and empiricism to attack religion. But many of their arguments can’t stand up to simple logical scrutiny.

My own comment on this is ,you have on nairaland some wannabe atheists who can not thread their argument coherently yet mouth off so many in consistencies and we have a band of lazy thinkers who just tag along.

Omihanifa:
Blood thirsty demons

As if they know you even exist.

faceland:
As for this professor, he is like Asari Dokubo. Nothing he says is serious to me. Just a lunatic. Buhari has already made up his mind not to sack pantami so all this is unnecessary.

Keep blabbing as if we know you exist.
Tueh!

Sirjamo:
America has been in Iraq and Afghanistan for twenty years killing and terrorising Muslims, have you condemn America?


Jonathan said boko haram are his siblings, have you condemn him.



All Qaeda and Osama were used by America to destroy USSR, your hypocrisy is what irritates me.


Why are you comfortable with terrorism by non Muslims, but always quick to condemn terrorism by Muslims?


Ipob have been killing innocent police officers in your region, is that not terrorism? Have you condemn ipob?

My Oga,just ignore the idiots.
They know nothing always cherry oickingtwhat suites theur devilish and debased thinking.

nony43:
Did you see the arms? Abi has he killed any notherner? Or is Pantami the only Muslim minister in Buhari's cabinet? Pantami accepted what he said years ago.

And he went on to school in the same US and UK for degree programmes and the Almighty America couldn't arrest him or blacklist him only for foolish pea brained scoundrels want him arrested.
Thank God the government has rightly ignored your foolish call.
You see why I say many of you shouldn't be taken serious.

limeta:
i wont bother cause i really dont want you to make it to heaven

if you were not stupid how do you believe in a religion that hate you as a black person
Bilal died a slave shame on you

Look at this compound ignoramus!
You think you are talking to one of those ignorant Muslims?
Let me tell your amalgamated ignorant brain dead lilly livered self that I hsve been teaching Islamic religious studies for over six years and I will school you very well on the subject matter not this orientalist cherry picking you go about trying to teach your ignorant self Islaam.
Even the Christianity you profess too,I can also school on it too.
Stupid blackmailer.

You will all suffer in your hatted

Osinbajo can mount the pulpit and preach all day and no Muslim even cares what he says,the moment one of us who takes his religion serious happens to man a position you hypocrities start calling for his head because he dares to show and appear as a Muslim he becomes a terrorist.
Stupid people!

No worry, bicycle wey go jam una no go get brake.

I have never seen such horde of self righteous ingrates in one place.

limeta:
Do i need to tell you about islam
Do you really want me to go there

Tell me about the Islam you claim to know na.

limeta:
only you would know cause you are one .
Aren't you a head slammer

Yes,we prostrate to our Lord our God, but dirty arrogant fools like you who think from their behind like badly programmed robots would only ckao their hands SBD close their eyes when it has no basis in the book you claim is from God.

bpalace:
My reply was directed to a perceived foolish human and never to a terrorist.
I don't conversate with terrorists like you and pantami

Hahahahahaha....
Your foolishness now makes you see anyone who does not agree to your foolishness as a terrorist .
What a big bag of poo you are.

ensamy:
Garbage Shehu has spoken garbage again

i can bet most of you don't know anything about Afghanistan...but you want to talk about your ignorance.

limeta:
The Administration stands behind Minister Pantami








You see how terrorist stand with one another

Calling you an idiot is an insult to idiots.

I want any idiot now to go hang themselves for all we care.
These scoundrels, rumour monger,clout chasers,falsehood peddlers thinks government will be moved by their overnight clamour backed by pea-brained zombies will make some of us bath an eye lid.
Fa fa fa foooouuuuuul!

I expected nothing less from this drugs-snifing gap toothed orangutan which many zombies will readily line up behind to even insult their mothers.

Ykc2:
if that Sargent Rogers did not confess that major mustafa asked him and his killer squad to murder kudirat abiola during oputa panel, i know you will blame the victim family if the truth is revealed today ,when ever you see someone defending a terrorist that person a terrorist also,dont blame rev Hayab his afraid northern extremists will kill him so he want to be natural

Shut your dirty trash!


How has your education made your different?!

bpalace:
Ur last sentence shows how foolish of a person u are...

The statement was made in reference to show how foolish many of you are who have been pandering that rubbish.

I think even the fly that tried to perched on my food listened to Pantami's preaching too?
Abi?!

proprince:
Pantami shld resign.

Who be this one?!

No ooo, we have to.
Because we have an assemblage of educated zombies who sell and buy anything trendy because they want to look woke and important.

Ask these loud mouths how was Taliban formed and how Al Qaeda functions and see how othese zombies to regurgitate whatever that was read or written like badly programmed robots.


Yes,even the mosquito that bit me last night listened to Pantami's preaching .

I keep wondering how nairaland managed to assemble such daft and analytically bereft congregation.

I am indeed glad that Baba is ignoring this foolish call.
When you are all tired you will look for the next tending thing to focus on since some of you don't even know when rain started beating you.

And if you look closely you will see that the foolish youths ones are the ones calling for this kind of nonsense.

Mikecold:
No, you are the one to be pitied, you are a Muslim and an inferior one even in Nigeria


A slave of Fulani and a slave to allah is the one to be pitied

All my life I have never worshipped or seen an Hausa or Fulani man above me in the eyes of Almighty God.
In fact,I see a practicing Ibo Muslim as far far better than even a non practicing Arab Muslim.
My religion has never been about your gutter-like debased reasoning where everything has to be based on ethnicity, tribe or even race.
Only an ignorant denigrate fool will use those identifiers as being better than others.
Fortunately, our Holy book condemns such tribal/ racial identification.
Even a knowledgeable Fulani knows he is not a better Muslim based on his race.
I hope all these sink into your dense skull.


For your information, my forefathers who accepted Islam never had any contact with the fulanis rather they became Muslims due to the trade contact they had with the Nupes ,but over blown ignoramus like you will feed your already deflated ego with the old and used lie that every Nigerian Muslim became Muslims because of Fulanis due to your amalgamated deep seated brain washing you are still battling hard to free yourself from.
Don't worry, I will lend you a helping hand in this case so you can be cured of this sickness called Islamophobia.

Get well soon dumbo

Mikecold:
shut up your dirty mouth you this uzaire Muslim


Na beg una take dey Edo, you belong to the shit hole of kogi, stop calling your black skull Niger Deltan

You don't even qualify the rank of the interior Yoruba Muslim when Fulani real Muslims are talking


I have educated you enough on what obtains with your superior Muslims who sight moon for your ramadan

Your Ignorance shows you know nothing, Muslims don't bath so long they wash prick and deep that same smelling kettle water into their mouth for rinsing

Ignorance oozes from every sentence and every word you've written.
I pity your condition.

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
May Allaah teach us what benefit us and benefit us with what He has taught us and increase us in knowledge.

Q1. Can someone break fast during iftar with sexual intimacy with legally married wife.
A. Islam has permitted each fasting individual to break his or her fast at the sunset with anything that is good and permissible but the Prophet May Allaah be pleased with him suggested some things to us which are better used as mentioned in the hadith, Rutab (wet date) or Tamr (dry date) or water. These three things as mentioned sequentially are better used but not compulsory. As for the sex, there is no problem in breaking fast with it, cos we have narration from one of our predecessors Abdullah bn Umar May Allaah be pleased with him that do that atimes.
Reported by Tabarani in Book Mujam At Tabarani with the hadith graded as Hassan that "Atimes Abdullah bn Umar will break his fast with sex with one of his wives and he said i have been given the strength (sexual prowess) that i think has not been given to anyone aside the Prophet Salallaahu alayhi Wa Salam.

Q2. Can my Girlfriend come to my house to prepare iftar and sahoor meal for me?
A. Yes, she can prepare meal for you but its advisable to allow her to come and prepare it. If she can prepare it from her house and send it to you it will be better so that yall block the fitnah and i will advise you to tie that knot quickly.

If Islam does indeed discourage having relationship outside marriage with a strange woman, how come cooking for a boyfriend is deemed permissible.
This kind of fatawaa can indeed emanate from someone who has a strange understanding.

You small boys should stop taking the seat of our scholars.
You clearly do not understand what a boyfriend and girlfriend mean.

Mikecold:
lol, the joke is on you Muslims

Its like you are a fake Yoruba Muslim if not you would know how your englightned aboki all use the same kettle they use in washing their anus to wash their prick.

its the same shit infested kettle they would use in rubbing their over following kaftan

They all do it in the same position, especially when it's a settlement, the places are usually smelling, messy, and breeding ground for mosquito

Everyone washing prick on the same spot like it's arugungun festival for collecting infection

The so called urine that sticks to your genital came from your own body, it's not acid, once you shake your prick enough it's over and out

By the way all the abokis who are actually the true Muslims in Nigeria that I have seen don't have toilet they don't flush, where they throw their feaces is where they wash prick

Imagine what this dirty disgusting kaafir is saying.

You people as a whole lack proper hygiene.
It's a known thing with you.
You don't wash anything.
You just pee and poo without cleaning and you expect me to take you serious.
Shake what ?

I have lived and worked with many non Muslims and I can tell you for a fact that you guys are the most unhygienic when it comes to private parts.

No wonder they say ignorance is the root of all evil.
This delude loud mouth think we don't wash our jetties and clean our restrooms regularly.
There is ni week that passes by without it being wash at least twice or thrice and you think we are as disgusting as you guys?
Tueh.

I can quote to you evidences about cleanliness alone in Islaam before oyinbo people started teaching your disgusting type hygiene...

FYI,I am not a yoruba,I am a typical Niger Delta guy from Edo ;since your Olympic size ignorance makes you blind to the possibility of having Muslims from other parts of Nigeria apart from the ones you know.

Olaideolayemi:
Y do you peoples like to generalized?rather been conceptual in your argument..

A typical Kaafir usually loses their sense of logic when it comes to religion.
They just what to do as thyself wish.
That's their way.

BF69BF:
These people self, always trying so hard to look clean and pure but won't hesitate to kill another person without cause.

Imagine, exfoliating yourself for having sex with your own wife, oh please.

You see sine if you non Muslims, you have psychological problem.
In our religion their are rules and regulations and breaching those rules have penalties attached to them.
The problem is,even if I explain everything lucidly you will still ask one unrelated question or start typing rubbish as usual.

Wallahi ,it's a sickness being a kaafir.

Xmuslim:
Islam and sex = 5 & 6

Yes oooooo.
E dey pain you.
And what is bad in sex please?
We will do it with our spouses and get rewarded for it not like the kaafur in their deluded misguidance who want to tell us how to lead a life .

Bellotelli:
Iam a Muslim but the way some people go about exposing their buttocks to public view all in the name of squatting is totally disgusting and Un-Islamic.

In such scenario i feel it's ok to stand and pee.

It depends though.
But peeing in public is highly discouraged in Islam.

The reason behind squatting to pee is to prevent urine splashing on your garment, but if standing will prevent urine from splashing on you there's nothing prohibiting that.

Mikecold:
9. BAD HYGIENE


How about peeing erect for the men instead of bending to wash prick everywhere with dirty kettle

Coming from someone who don't know about hygiene.
When you pee or poo in your toilet your flush it with water but you, the remnant of your urine and poo sticks to your Instruments and funny enough, you think the joke is on us when you ought to look yourself in the mirror and see the big wood lodge in your eye.

A common 'aboki' has proper hygiene than your MOGs put together (if you are a Christian).

We will teach you.

Supan:
We told them that Buhari will never allow Boko Haram to be defeated, He will rather aid them secretly.

Argue with Usman dan fodio

Why is now nairaland one of Nigerians well celebrated information and fact platform now boasting of tge best assembled analytically bereft ignoramus.
Why?;
Oh why?!

Ochuko24endy:
Keep shut,if you can support these groups then you can support boko haram

Lol.
As if he knows if you even exist.
After wailing all you like ,he will still, and will continue to remain your minister of information.
