Hakeem12: Exactly. The fact that there are earth like planets in habitable zones, 550 light years away too far for current telescopes to handle, let alone next generation of telescopes shows we still have a lot to figure out about the universe. But some people think they have it all figured it in a text that claims the earth is five thousand years old. I basically stopped arguing with religious people because, you can't explain anything to anyone that has abandoned logic.
My childhood interest in astronomy and how the earth began in the first place made me an agnostic atheist. While I do not believe in the existence of any deity, it seems to me that the universe lies and will always lie beyond the grasps of any intellectuals on earth, I may be wrong though.
Growing up and reading a lot about space travel and such, I was marvelled at the incredible observations by so many scientists of all times and the greatness of the human mind, I was also appalled at how insignificant and transient human beings were on a grand scale. The sun in the sky, more than a million times bigger than the planet we are living on is only one of the 300 billions in the Milky Way Galaxy, which in turn is only one of the billions of galaxies in the universe. In addition, multiverse proponents say there may even be multiple universes. It amuses when people say they are going to heaven when they die. Which heaven, and in which universe?
Just as the many questions I had, how life started on earth, how the mind works, and what is the nature of time and consciousness? Philosophers and scientists have grappled with these questions for thousands of years. The universe is so inherently and profoundly complex that I believe it will elude human understanding forever, I may be wrong though.
It is depressing to think there are hard limits in human beings, and nothing demonstrates this better than the continued search for knowledge and curiosity, not indoctrination.
Born too late too explore the Moon, born too early to explore the Galaxy.
Maximus69: Of course God exists, but the only way to get to understand him is by listening to his messenger sent to TEACH you!
There are misinformed churchgoers who often say nonsense and ingredients about God based on their presumption, if you're listening to their opinion you'll be lost in thought.
God is real but the only way to get to know him is by humbly listening to his messengers!
Indaboski is a nonentity, so forget about his magic acts and focus on the truth!
The truth? I believe when the truth is found, if ever, it will be something that can be proven and replicated all over and over again.
Please leave the matter if you don't trust (believe) God's word!
We are Bible students, we don't adhere to the teachings of Churchgoers, so try hard to concentrate on what God's word say about God not what your Pastor presume God supposed to be!
Apostle Paul said Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that the light of truth may not shine through their hearts! 2Corinthians 4:4 Apostle John said we know we're for God but the whole world is under the control of Satan! 1John 5:19
So Jesus is not in the heart of everyone, God's spirit only reside with those who believe NOT everyone! 2Thessalonians 3:2
God is not seeing most things happening in the world for a reason, instead of arguing based on what you were taught to believe why not ask what went wrong!
List of some things that possible went wrong.
1. If God exist, he may not be the type of omnipotent we know by definition.
2. There's a higher being that is above God, chose not to reveal itself.
3. God doesn't exist, written by men.
4. God exist, the brain of mortal men can't comprehend it, human words can't explain it, resorting to the contradiction in the Bible.
Ray360: There was a certain Frosbel I knew then in Religion section during the days of Goshen360 and logicoboy and others. I don't know if you're still the one.
I am alarmed at your submission above. Did you just say "We don't need Jesus to be saved"?
what happened to you? Frosbel?
are you an atheist now?
Well, I'll pray for you in my secret place. That's the best I can do. Jesus Loves you.
Image123: Do you need conversion? i politely asked if you do drugs because i saw you behaving like one. You asked that i should tell you since i believe the Bible. i told you, now you're gnashing in pain. It's "resort" BTW, not "result" like your jamb result.
Anything we set out to achieve, we can achieve so long as people are willing to. One day, i might call you up to join a project I'm working on; i hope you will be ready. Remember, Nigerians weren't christians nor muslims before the westerners came into the equation. Remember that traditional Religions ruled the day in the past, but is almost at the brink of extinction now. The problem of Christianity and Muslims is that they are still leaving in the past, and have failed to grasp the reality staring them in the face that they can no longer decieve people with Religion anymore. But, a new wave of progressives and intellectualy driven citizens are on the rise. All irrelevant things fade out eventually, and religion is one of those things. As science continues to answer unanswered questions, we also must create and follow that trend by creating a powerful unified community of non-religious persons in Nigeria. In other words, create our own community so that people will stop pretending they are religious while deep down in their heart, they don't believe it. We can do it...but the problem is, are we ready to do it?
Indoctrination is very powerful, like, it's very very powerful, anything that will make a human being put on a suicide vest to take his life and the life of other should tell you how powerful it is, it's almost demonic, I'm not even sure a demon will even put on a suicide vest.
Some times I feel pity for them, some times I'm angry they refuse to wake up.
The truth is, those of us awake were born before our time.
Primesky: Failure is when a man can boldly tell himself he's a mistake, and directly question His creator. You better be sure of what you believe. It's easy for a failure to blame another rather than himself. Have a deep self check. The air you breathe was a mistake, right?. There are lots of dead bodies in the mogue unable to breathe not because of lack of oxygen, but because they lack the power to do so, you are given this prividge by the one who made all things, yet see how rude and ungrateful you are, simply because He doesn't fit into your little mind and brain. May God have mercy on you sir. Be rest assured, one day you will have to account for these statements if you don't repent, it's not a threat, it's a fact!. Everyday life and natural experiences should let you know that actions have consequences,and that there is no way order can come out of chaos without an interference by an intelligent personality. If God is truly a failure, then you admit that you're foolish, irrational and blind, because I don't see how a failure can create a sensible person. It then means all your submissions are stupid as well, because you can't possibly be wiser than the one who gave you the wisdom.
As expected, you still didn't answer why this God supports rape, why he killed babies, why he failed to create the world he wanted, but quick to defend the rapist, mass murder, first born killer, if it means you'll live forever.
Nobody knows exactly how this world came about, even if it's a God it's not that one in the Bible.
Image123: As usual, the empty atheists and lazy sceptics have defined God. God doesn't fit their foolish definition, in conclusion there's no God. E.g Grimcap defines an African nation as a nation filled with black people. Morocco is not full of black people. Grimcap the simple concludes Morocco is not an African nation.
mrcoolautofix: I am thrilled by your philosophical perspection about black taking over, did you know the colonial virus is currently killing 2.5 to 1 population of black in USA today?,
the white parasites are using bill gates & depopulation facilities like prison jail to infiltrate into African kids system to kill more people like they have done using HIV aids and other horrible diseases,
The depopulation protocol is perpetually focused on black people, half of the population of world prison inmates are black people with that said, US & European governments are on fast pedal to make this your projection about blacks taking over to back flip.
The great question I have for someone like you now is, what would you do to protect our race from this terrorist attack that is coming at a very raging pace to put most of our kine into extinction?
it doesn't mater, in about 100 years I would be dead, you will be dead, at some point everyone will be dead, the earth will run out of natural resource, the sun run out of fuel.
For even the terrorist that took over will die out, there will be nothing left as nothing will be destroyed.
All we can do is live in peace with one another, not that it mater.
Maximus69: How old is the girl/lady/woman in question? If she's 18+ the law says she's an adult, if i choose to be a Christian it's my life i'm giving to Christ NOT that of those around me! As long as the female in question is an adult and i am neither her father literally or spiritually, all i can do is to make her see reasons to become a true Christian, even i mustn't mention what she did wrong until she learns to apply God's word by herself.
Most people don't know the difference between a Pharisee and a Christian.
Pharisee:- people who pester others to obey their rule of conduct.
Christian:- people who teach by examples.
Unbelievers do feels threatened even when you never frown or say anything against their lifestyle, but because you're living an exemplary life and they wants to become your friend it's either they change you or you change them, so after all effort to change you proves abortive the hatred begins.
On the other hand you become a Pharisee when you're feeling cheated at the sight of those not living their lives in harmony with your stringent rules!
If she loves watching porn as an adult, it's nobody's business, she never took an oath to follow the same line of thought with me, that's what most people don't know about Jehovah's Witnesses, once you're not one of our members, you're free to do whatever you like with your life, but you're no more free to do so as a baptised JW, you must live by the rules, each member is his/her brother's/sister's keeper!
You are Liquid metal in 2016. Indaboski bahose in 2017. Inda boski dahosa/indaboski daosa? in 2018. Inda boski kapache, baloskicalabash etcetera, lol, you are the virus itself. You are in 2020, " ... his medicine", you are the lion et cetera
You are upon all the shakara and DEMONStrations, the lion himself who cowers in fright at the 2:00 minute afterwards mark, lmao.
I thought this was a joke till I watch the 10 minute version, I lost some brain cells.
Image123: The same ilk will say allow a child, don't tell children what to do, you're indoctrinating them. Now, it's she's not a child, don't tell her what to do. In short, just say don't tell anybody to do anything godly. You can tell anyone to go to school, follow good hygiene, have fun, party, but never tell them to do righteousness. We get your antichrist point.
Image123: Free and open indeed, you skipped the part where he clearly said "she wasn't feeling comfortable and she came and stood behind me as we searched for the movie together". What part of she wasn't feeling comfortable don't you understand? She likely thought of the amount of data she used for download, that's why she didn't delete her secret sin. But she wasn't very smart. Evangelist is sharing The Train, but masturbating alone.
All you had to do was pray to God to change my opinion, buhahahaha.
Is it a crime now to advice another, especially when he/she asked for it?. If my help isn't sufficient and that of others also fails, what else remains?. It all falls back to God!. But no one can push Him, we know in the end every soul He created will be called to account, then one Will have the opportunity to either blame, argue or question Him, that's if anybody will be able to do that.
Do not go about advising people on things you can't prove.
The reason for not believing in the existence of God goes beyond punishment (Hell) and reward (heaven), but not having anything to do with whatever that thing is in the Bible.
1.This thing you're in a hurry to meet killed children, you're nothing but a mad man when you start justifying this.
2. Encourage slavery, rape, and is even a rapist, taking the wife of another man and impregnating her, says not to marry out of wedlock, but he get a free pass impregnating, and having a child outside wedlock.
3. A failure, failed to create the perfect world, spent the next 2000 years trying to fix what a mere snake destroyed in 1 day.
The Bible is likely a prank by some guys some years back, ídoit found it, and made a religion out of it.
