Religion / Re: 4 Reasons I'm Considering Becoming An Atheist by GeneralShepherd(m): 12:33pm On Dec 30, 2019 |
emrain: Religion is not about heaven and hell nor God and Satan.
The stories in religious books are there to help teachers teach children how to survive peacefully and harmoniously with others.
Religion was all about survival. Sadly not anymore.
The modern world believes Abrahamic religions have outlived their usefulness because they've killed God.
There's no longer anything to fear, so many people no longer have reasons to endure the pain of this world. No hope of eternal life. Surprisingly, Slave morality is on a rapid rise in disguise.
Hope has become a fraud.
Empathy is only employed when it's convenient. The things our fathers were ashamed of are what we celebrate today.
Religious leaders live out their grandiose fantasy at the expense of their sheeple because they've replaced God.
Is atheism the answer? From my experience, I don't think so.
Most atheists in religious countries are usually apathetic and in some cases bitter. This doesn't help anybody, not even the atheists themselves.
The easiest way to save Africans from modern religious manipulators (if you care) is to become very religious and inspire the sheeple in bondage to be more educated and see for themselves that God is dead and it's time to move on.
How do you do this? Become a Sunday school teacher, preacher etc. Intentionally expose your audience to thought-provoking books and materials that helped you come to terms with reality. While at it, always emphasize on empathy and how our collective survival and advancement depends on it.
In the end, liberating Education is what we need. Not apathy, elitism, bitterness, etc that comes with being an atheist in this part of the world.
PS- Good/bad fortune has nothing to do with God. It has everything to do with you and the people you surround yourself with.

Let me make it clear here my dear. I understand that you really like this guy and you are into him. I want to let you know a few things.
1. It took me a long time to realise that there is nothing like I am not ready for a commited relationship. It is just a nice way to say I don't want to date YOU.
2. You had no right to go through his phone because he is not your bf. And even if he was you still have no right to go through his phone. A phone is so so personal that there are so many things on there that deserves the utmost respect.
3. I am sure you have at one point distanced yourself from someone. Think about and then it will help you realise that he is not for you.
4. Dating is about finding someone you are compatible with and not to fall in love at first sight. This also took me a very long time to realise.
Summary leave him. Next guy you meet enjoy his company and if you can leave sex out of it until you are sure there is compatibility between the two of you 1 Like 1 Share |

I will not be shocked if I marry a virgin who wants to have sex once in a year. It may mean that this human is sexually repressed.

XxSabrinaxX:
Let's see... "A deductive argument is the presentation of statements that are assumed or known to be true as premises for a conclusion that necessarily follows from those statements."
Right. Moving on...
Wow are you behind the times ..... "To most people, the idea that conservation of energy is violated goes against everything they learned about the most fundamental laws of physics. But on the cosmological scale, conservation of energy is not as steadfast a law as it is on smaller scales. In this study, the physicists specifically investigated two theories in which violations of energy conservation naturally arise.
The first scenario of violations involves modifications to quantum theory that have previously been proposed to investigate phenomena such as the creation and evaporation of black holes, and which also appear in interpretations of quantum mechanics in which the wavefunction undergoes spontaneous collapse. In these cases, energy is created in an amount that is proportional to the mass of the collapsing object.
Violations of energy conservation also arise in some approaches to quantum gravity in which spacetime is considered to be granular due to the fundamental limit of length (the Planck length, which is on the order of 10-35 m). This spacetime discreteness could have led to either an increase or decrease in energy that may have begun contributing to the cosmological constant starting when photons decoupled from electrons in the early universe, during the period known as recombination."(First premise is rejected.)

Dark energy emerges when energy conservation is violated
The conservation of energy is one of physicists’ most cherished principles, but its violation could resolve a major scientific mystery: why is the expansion of the universe accelerating? That is the eye-catching claim of a group of theorists in France and Mexico, who have worked out that dark energy can take the form of Albert Einstein’s cosmological constant by effectively sucking energy out of the cosmos as it expands.

No, it's not, Mr. Obvious ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) The Big Bounce: Why our universe might be eternal." https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/big-bounce-theory
First, GeneralShepherd, you must prove a beginning. Next, you have to actually demonstrate a source. You do not get to magically assert a universe into existence.
GeneralShepherd wouldja try and keep the energy (pun, hundred percent intended) please? You just asserted "conservation of energy" and here you are citing energy outside the universe.
Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
I have always put it succinctly, I was an atheist my reason for choosing a different worldview is simply because by mere reasoning it is obvious that the universe is not eternal. It is a consensus with the science community that the universe has a beginning. I choose to worship whatever caused the beginning of the universe . Secondly atheism leads to nihilism short and simple. Nothing means anything, the best atheism can come up with is positive nihilism. Christianity gave meaning to my life and I am sure that no argument for God will sway you either . So there's no point going down that route and engaging you in a conversation especially when your comments are laced with insults and sarcasm. |
Religion / Re: Arguments For God by GeneralShepherd(m): 11:50am On Nov 29, 2019 |
Let me put forth a simple argument by deduction. Within the universe exists a law of conservation of energy as energy is neither created nor destroyed.
It is obvious that also the universe is not eternal and had a beginning . Therefore there must a source that existed before the start of time and the universe that in itself is eternal.
Physicists call it energy, I call him God. You can also call it the God of the gaps but that answer is fine by me |

Thank you for the point.
I do tell her every where I go to. Before I go out and when I arrive the place. I call when I am there and let her know when I am leaving.
I do this to ease her mind at all time and build trust in our relationship. She also used to do this always. Lately, she stopped. To the point of going to an occasion and lying about it when I asked her.
So the change can not start with me. This is about the change in her attitude.
Then not telling me that she is planning to spend a night with her friend? Haba, that is far from the foundation we built in our relationship. If you need your partner to check in with you all the time then something is wrong with YOU. You should learn to trust your partner or breakup if she isn't trustworthy |
