Christianity EtcRe: How Can You Prove To An Atheist That God Exists? by GeneralShepherd(m): 5:59pm On Sep 27, 2013
Odunayo1119: @all...i pray my few proofs strikes u.(amen). First of all i would start by asking u what is ur existence in dz world for? Is it just for u to study,gain wealth etc and at d end of d day u just die l? As God not said that our being in dz world is to preach d good news?. Secondly,the fact that we are smarter than all the animals. Is it just our mere human intelligence? But in genesis1:28 God made it clear that he has given us power over all the animals. Also even our body tells most of it all. The way diff parts of our body is situated is it not perfect that way? Wont it be wierd if our eyes was under or feet or if our moths were at our backs? In the 1cor12:18 it shows that God made us perfectly. Lastly,the fact that we wake up each time we sleep is because we are better,smarter,wiser,powerful than those that dont? No,but its just because of God's grace and love which many of us has taken for granted. All these balls down to the fact that there is a supernatural force existing in all that we do....also read rom2:5,rom9:19..... I just pray u all realise the true power of d living God before its too late
You don't bring the bible to a God debate!!! For starters atheists are questioning the legitimacy of the claims by the authors of the bible that it is God's words,so before you use it as your proof,first prove that the bible is indeed God's words.

FamilyRe: Are Men Obsessed With 'Plenty Of Fish In The Sea' Idea? by GeneralShepherd(m): 8:22am On Sep 24, 2013
@tjololade:
I dont have a proof to say that this is true but I believe most men have this mindset especially in Nigeria as I know of because our culture permits the mindset.

1) Marry more than one wife.

2) Chase away a woman if she is caught cheating.

3) Lord over her in a chauvinistic way.

4) Sleep around with numerous girls and it will be considered a feat.

This and so many makes us believe that we can get as many as we want.
When a woman cheats its worse cos its premeditated cheating, women are used to guys approaching them for sex and are sure used to saying No..No..No. So if she cheats she planned it.

I am a guy and I have never had a woman approach me for sex, so you think when a girl approaches me,I'll know what to do? No ,so when a guy cheats its just cheating lol

cold: Why do you keep coming across as borderline r3tard?So you need religion or belief in an imaginary friend to discern right from wrong.Oh so you didn't know murder was wrong until you read it in your storybook?Without religion there'll be good and bad people but it takes religion for good people to do evil.In fact,men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions.Go back & read your bible again.This time do not cherry pick as all Christians are won't to do.Read it in its entirety,you might just get the message..hopefully
There is no objective morality what maybe right for you to others might be wrong, I believe religion helps in providing some form our conformity in morality at least for the adherents of that particular religion.

'It takes religion for good people to do evil' how did you arrive at this conclusion, can you provide any proof? Please don't be making assertions and passing them off as fact without any shred of evidence.

Logicboy03: Infinity plus one is very rational. Lets say that the space in this universe is infinite. Assuming there was another universe with the same infinite space. Adding both of them is infinity plus infinity. Theoretically, it is very sound.



Talking about infinity, does God know the last number (numbers have no end)
Logicboy there is nothing like infinity+1 it is mathematically incorrect Oga.

Logicboy03: Nonsense.....clearly, both of you dont play chess. Chess is a strategy game with very few real life applications.

Although the results of research studies have failed to produce unambiguous support for the intellectual benefits of playing chess,[2] several local government, schools, and student organizations all over the world are implementing chess programs.




I play chess. The only thing chess does is to make you understand patience, exercise your brain and to calculate 3-5 steps ahead......

Christianity EtcRe: A Case For Homosexuality? by GeneralShepherd(m): 7:01pm On Sep 18, 2013
jayriginal: One thing is pretty clear; your mind is closed on this issue.

What makes a hermaphrodite an anomaly and blindness normal?

What do you expect would be the sexual orientation of a hermaphrodite?

Your problem is that you are looking on the outside for defects. If someone is blind or a hermaphrodite or crippled, well that is something you can see with your own eyes so you know that it is not their fault that they were born that way. However you think people make a choice to be gay. Maybe so and most of those who choose are bi-sexuals. On the other hand there are people that are born gay but you refuse to accept because you dont see any physical anomaly. You prefer to give it a label (immorality, perversion, mental illness etc) so you can pass yourself off as better in some way.

Im sure you know guys who act girlish and have always been that way. Or girls who act all boyish and can rough it out with most boys any day. Just because a girl is a tomboy will not make her a lesbian but she may have been close to it.

Now from the little I understand, there are many processes involved from conception to birth. The mother of the child passes hormones to the child which influence the childs personality. Im not sure of the numbers but there ought to be some sort of balance between testosterone and estrogen. The more testosterone the fetus receives, the more male like it will be. The more estrogen the fetus receives, the more female like it will be.

Consider then, the scenario whereby a female fetus doesnt receive her balance. Consider she receives less estrogen and more testosterone. Depending on the ratio, she could turn out to be a tomboy, might grow hair on her arms, chest,chin, sideburns etc or she could become a lesbian. Same thing applies in the reverse for the male fetus that receives more estrogen than testosterone. You might get a girly guy, hairless guy or a guy attracted to men.

Obviously, some of these things particularly the ones dealing with hair could be hereditary.

The point I am trying to convey is that these things are processes that go on inside the womb and do not leave any physical trace unlike blind and crippled people etc. Therefore because you cant see any physical abnormality, you think that they have a choice in who they are. I hope I can get you to reconsider. Most people have a distaste for homosexuality mainly because of years of indoctrination. We were brought up to feel revulsion for these folks but that is because of reasons I have pointed out and a key factor is that they are something of a minority.

Remember when blacks where looked upon with disgust? Seen as less intelligent than others? Even Obadiah says black skin is a curse from God. Hatred against gay people comes from multiple sources many of which overlap, religion and ignorance being in my opinion the prime causes.


Now let me say here that what I have written is not my personal research but it is a combination of things I have read and my own personal thoughts.

The bottom line is that there are chemical processes that go on in the womb that determine what is delivered, be it blind, dumb, physically challenged, hermaphrodite, "normal", gay or 1mbecile.
Some of these have physical evidence and some dont. Therefore when you rail against gays so much and unleash such hateful vituperation against them, you just have to be hopeful that your child doesnt turn out to be gay. If he should, just know that he probably had no choice in the matter.
Well I will bookmark this thread my Username and comment for future reference to my kids...

If any turns gay,he/she is out SIMPLE no inheritance no nothing.

Be atheist,I don't mind but GAY?!!!! Hell no
Christianity EtcRe: A Case For Homosexuality? by GeneralShepherd(m): 6:57pm On Sep 18, 2013
Jen2l: I quite agree with u. Homosexuality is an anomaly, an uncalled anomaly, jst like being albino, being born blind, deaf, lame, etc....exactly d reason the LGBT was an activism-focal minority group, and included in a country's aids recipients.
Hating on gays is no different dan kicking a blind man into the gutter because u dnt like ppl born with anomalies.
However, I must add, being gay is a lucky anomaly...if not d luckiest.
This is fallacy of false equivocation, countless studies have shown that nobody was born gay or straight we make our choices...

Blind peoplehuh!!!! Comparing blind people with homosexuals..kaiiii how love can the LGBT community get?

I can't careless about homosexuals it doesn't affect me,but the act is horrendous to me absolutely despicable. But hey its their live,their right.

Ray McBlue: What do coconut and homosexualism have in common?

Absolutely nothing.

One is a very tasty and nutritious delicacy which made it very acceptable in practically every country on the planet and most importantly, very normal. The other, an abnormality.

It's a bad comparison, mate.





Are you now equating Airplanes with Homo? Another bad comparison, let me tell you why.

Airplanes are man made, and absolutely useful in the society. It gets someone from one place to another within a matter of minutes or hours depending on the distance, something that in ordinary circumstance would take days to negotiate.

Homosexualism meanwhile is a sèxual orientation deformity, an anomaly. Something an average human hides from the other, something that people don't talk 'bout on the street.

As for breaking the laws of physics, maybe not, but it broke others that are far more important, besides it's morally distasteful.
You keep going on and on about morality,on what baseline of morality do you find homosexuality morally despicable?

striktlymi: Aji this is something that can be resolved peaceably without you quitting.

We have 20 rules guiding every nairaland member and these rules are meant to help achieve the objectives of both members and management. Careful scrutiny of those rules would reveal that they do not offend any religion or irreligion whether directly or indirectly.

The religion section as you already know is not just for Christians and as such it would be inappropriate to see it as a 'Christian only' section. I don't think you were made a mod of this section by mistake. I am quite sure that God wanted you to be mod.

Leaving would only mean that you are refusing to do the work God has entrusted to you. Where would Christianity be today if Paul had rejected the call of Christ to preach to the gentiles?

I know that God can raise stones from the ground to do his bidding but the point here is that he chose YOU to do it. Allowing Justice, equity and fairness to guide you here is not the same as turning your back on God.

Remember that Christ had to mingle with the so called "Sinners" to get to understand their ways and be better able to evangelize them. If you see any direct and genuine insult on the person of Christ, it is your job to hide that post and warn the culprit.

Allowing Gay threads is not against the rules and I am very sure that Christ would want us to show love to them. If we kick them out, how then do we show them the errors in their ways?? Please, I ask you as a friend and a brother to reconsider your position and allow God be your guide.
Why are you pleading with Ajibam? It beats my imagination.Its not like he is a stellar example of a MOD.


@Ajibam Do you think I enjoy watching Jesus insulted? Or Mary insulted? But worse than all this is when a MOD exhibits intolerance and clearly but for Obadaiah all the religious section MODs are heavily biased and they surpress free speech.

Ajibam and HBG are not more born-again that our lovelt Jesoul but she handled her MOD duties with maturity.

Striktly dis was expected and anticipated we tried to warn Seun before the selection but he wouldn't listen.

haibe: @op there is a consequence for every sinful action and so that's why God permitted those things, in order words its more judgemental in that case, punishment for the sins of those people in canaan, that's why he told joshua to do those things, it isn't murder(unlawful killing) because God who made the law commands it as a judgement for their sins and so is not an unlawful killing(murder)..

Take for example, it is a crime(sin, offence) to kill someone in nigeria, so if that person kills, the judgement would be for him to be killed too(in this case its not an offence, sin, but a judgement), in order words the killing of a murderer is not unlawful.

The issue of abraham marrying his sister wasn't wrong at that time, inbreeding became wrong after the law of moses came and this was perhaps centuries after abraham lived, so God condemned inbreeding later not during abraham's time.

This should adress your issues.
oga mi...honestly you cannot defend the bible logically many better than you have tried to no avail.
