I’ve noticed you’re allaying spamming most thread with your Jesus talk. And it’s really annoying

Hi NLanders and Engineers.
Good evening.

This structure was built in December 2019.
I noticed the room is always moisty.
When the room windows and door is shut... The glass sweat from inside.

Now it's the roofing(decking), just this part of the decking.

The room is well ventilated but since no occupant the windows and doors are always shut.

Above the decking is completely tiled and two brand new water tanks are sitting untop.

What could this imply?

I’m sure you use C12/15 grade concrete. This is what you get for using low grade concrete

Investigative Journalist, Fisayo Soyombo states in a tweet that former Oyo State Governor: Senator Abiola Ajimobi is "late" according to him, his sources within told him that the governor is on life support and the only reason he hasn't been pronounced dead is just because the plugs have not been pulled yet.

Let’s wait for the hospital to pronounce him dead na

Righteousness89:
Leave Religion bro but embrace a relationship with JESUS CHRIST! That's what matters!

JESUS CHRIST is all you need in this life and in eternity!

Need jesus in this life for what exactly?

I don't like anything about Allah.

I do not like the fact he claims his religion is the last and final one ( what a large claim he makes)
I do not like the fact that he speaks only Arabic, common! I thought he was omniscient

obailala:
Good idea! If I were the president of this country, everything would be privatised; from roads to railways, trains, airports, universities and even some govt hospitals.

what type of capitalist nation do you want to build ?

Why is he still meeting with PDP members? I thought they have cancelled the initial screening and a new one would be organised

The lady was probably frustrated.

Maybe she was financially destitute or she was jilted by her lover.

I don’t know why people won’t allow her die. If she’s tired of life she should be allowed to take her own life

But what exactly is he arresting Oshiomhole for ?

Is there a new definition of ultra modern?

Because what I’m seeing up here looks like something a 100L student of civil engineering constructed.

Abi is it a NYSC CDS project?

southniyikaye:
There is nothing amusing here to read.
You can't understand what you don't know.
You can't understand the God you don't believe in.
Only a foolish person will want to argue here.
A fool will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

You can explain it to us since you hear directly from god

thariodamaniac:
And ur point is??

I was also looking for what the op was insinuating

TheSourcerer:
Atheism , the total and logical disbelieve in the existence of a god or diety ,Given now that atheists are often among the most intelligent and scientifically literate people in any society, it seems important to deflate the myths that prevent them from playing a larger role in our national discourse.

1) Atheists believe that life is meaningless.

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.

2) Atheism is responsible for the greatest crimes in human history.

People of faith often claim that the crimes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were the inevitable product of unbelief. The problem with fascism and communism, however, is not that they are too critical of religion; the problem is that they are too much like religions. Such regimes are dogmatic to the core and generally give rise to personality cults that are indistinguishable from cults of religious hero worship. Auschwitz, the gulag and the killing fields were not examples of what happens when human beings reject religious dogma; they are examples of political, racial and nationalistic dogma run amok. There is no society in human history that ever suffered because its people became too reasonable.

3) Atheism is dogmatic.

Jews, Christians and Muslims claim that their scriptures are so prescient of humanity's needs that they could only have been written under the direction of an omniscient deity. An atheist is simply a person who has considered this claim, read the books and found the claim to be ridiculous. One doesn't have to take anything on faith, or be otherwise dogmatic, to reject unjustified religious beliefs. As the historian Stephen Henry Roberts (1901-71) once said: "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

4) Atheists think everything in the universe arose by chance.

No one knows why the universe came into being. In fact, it is not entirely clear that we can coherently speak about the "beginning" or "creation" of the universe at all, as these ideas invoke the concept of time, and here we are talking about the origin of space-time itself.

The notion that atheists believe that everything was created by chance is also regularly thrown up as a criticism of Darwinian evolution. As Richard Dawkins explains in his marvelous book, "The God Delusion," this represents an utter misunderstanding of evolutionary theory. Although we don't know precisely how the Earth's early chemistry begat biology, we know that the diversity and complexity we see in the living world is not a product of mere chance. Evolution is a combination of chance mutation and natural selection. Darwin arrived at the phrase "natural selection" by analogy to the "artificial selection" performed by breeders of livestock. In both cases, selection exerts a highly non-random effect on the development of any species.

5) Atheism has no connection to science.

Although it is possible to be a scientist and still believe in God — as some scientists seem to manage it — there is no question that an engagement with scientific thinking tends to erode, rather than support, religious faith. Taking the U.S. population as an example: Most polls show that about 90% of the general public believes in a personal God; yet 93% of the members of the National Academy of Sciences do not. This suggests that there are few modes of thinking less congenial to religious faith than science is.

6) Atheists are arrogant.

When scientists don't know something — like why the universe came into being or how the first self-replicating molecules formed — they admit it. Pretending to know things one doesn't know is a profound liability in science. And yet it is the life-blood of faith-based religion. One of the monumental ironies of religious discourse can be found in the frequency with which people of faith praise themselves for their humility, while claiming to know facts about cosmology, chemistry and biology that no scientist knows. When considering questions about the nature of the cosmos and our place within it, atheists tend to draw their opinions from science. This isn't arrogance; it is intellectual honesty.

7) Atheists are closed to spiritual experience.

There is nothing that prevents an atheist from experiencing love, ecstasy, rapture and awe; atheists can value these experiences and seek them regularly. What atheists don't tend to do is make unjustified (and unjustifiable) claims about the nature of reality on the basis of such experiences. There is no question that some Christians have transformed their lives for the better by reading the Bible and praying to Jesus. What does this prove? It proves that certain disciplines of attention and codes of conduct can have a profound effect upon the human mind. Do the positive experiences of Christians suggest that Jesus is the sole savior of humanity? Not even remotely — because Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and even atheists regularly have similar experiences.

There is, in fact, not a Christian on this Earth who can be certain that Jesus even wore a beard, much less that he was born of a virgin or rose from the dead. These are just not the sort of claims that spiritual experience can authenticate.

Atheists believe that there is nothing beyond human life and human understanding

Atheists are free to admit the limits of human understanding in a way that religious people are not. It is obvious that we do not fully understand the universe; but it is even more obvious that neither the Bible nor the Koran reflects our best understanding of it. We do not know whether there is complex life elsewhere in the cosmos, but there might be. If there is, such beings could have developed an understanding of nature's laws that vastly exceeds our own. Atheists can freely entertain such possibilities. They also can admit that if brilliant extraterrestrials exist, the contents of the Bible and the Koran will be even less impressive to them than they are to human atheists.

From the atheist point of view, the world's religions utterly trivialize the real beauty and immensity of the universe. One doesn't have to accept anything on insufficient evidence to make such an observation.

9) Atheists ignore the fact that religion is extremely beneficial to society.

Those who emphasize the good effects of religion never seem to realize that such effects fail to demonstrate the truth of any religious doctrine. This is why we have terms such as "wishful thinking" and "self-deception." There is a profound distinction between a consoling delusion and the truth.

In any case, the good effects of religion can surely be disputed. In most cases, it seems that religion gives people bad reasons to behave well, when good reasons are actually available. Ask yourself, which is more moral, helping the poor out of concern for their suffering, or doing so because you think the creator of the universe wants you to do it, will reward you for doing it or will punish you for not doing it?

10) Atheism provides no basis for morality.

If a person doesn't already understand that cruelty is wrong, he won't discover this by reading the Bible or the Koran — as these books are bursting with celebrations of cruelty, both human and divine. We do not get our morality from religion. We decide what is good in our good books by recourse to moral intuitions that are (at some level) hard-wired in us and that have been refined by thousands of years of thinking about the causes and possibilities of human happiness.

We have made considerable moral progress over the years, and we didn't make this progress by reading the Bible or the Koran more closely. Both books condone the practice of slavery — and yet every civilized human being now recognizes that slavery is an abomination. Whatever is good in scripture — like the golden rule — can be valued for its ethical wisdom without our believing that it was handed down to us by the creator of the universe.



Life is Short we know that for a fact , it's spontaneous, so why don't you make each breath count , breath deeper, laugh hard , oh yeah marijuana is fun too , Sex is oh not to die before trying out , hug more people , smile longer , life is really really awesome without the nessesity of a god or the advice of a pastor imam or a spiritual doctor , truth is they are just as clueless as you are


Fun Fact Not All religions can be true
But all of them could be false
Think about that . You are sure you're on the right side?



CAPSLOCKED , Hopefullandlord, lordReed

I love this post

Yes, the atrocities would be stopped as soon as people get their own revenge for the crimes you guys committed in the dark age. Or better still pray to god to help Christians

Why would someone even think the afterlife exists in the first place?

Silly post! What exactly does Jesus want to save me from?


The reason why I do not like organised religion is that it combines the maximum of solipsism and servitude.

Solipsism in the sense that it makes us thinks the universe was designed with us in mind and we are the most important mammals to ever work this earth

servitude in the sense that makes us become slaves to a heavenly dictator.

Imagine I have to go in public and shout I am born with original sin. But we all know that Evolution disproves the notion of the original sin

Sultty:
U are paranoid. compulsory death sentence has nothing to do with revenge (revenge is based on the perspective of d wronged as he feels "bad" not knowing if it's a good/bad occurrence) but justice is done only when the wronged is avenged in a good way. Bad people are not meant to be let off d hook just like that but to be made to face d full roth of d law

Sadly, I believe that ALL life is sacred. So, you have to be a real lowlife for me to think execution is an option. It’s an important distinction because if you live in Saudi Arabia, you will be executed for heresy. while in Nigeria, that would not be a consideration for execution (except for those barbaric people up north).

1) It provides no incentive for those committing crimes to commit less severe ones.
2) You are under the assumption that absolute retribution would help society function, but this denies any chance of rehabilitation.

My condolences to the family.

I hope your family members won’t punish you for apostasy? �

tardell007:
God forbid but if an insane serial killer murder all you family members would you still be against capital punishment? Sometimes capital punishment isn’t even enough for some gory crimes.

You are arguing based on emotion.

There is no logical reason for capital punishment

Sultty:
state sponsored or not it is right, how won't there be justice for d family of d dead

Do you mean revenge? All EU countries have abolished this barbaric act what happened to life imprisonment?

MJBOLT:

rapists,kidnappers,armed robbers,terrorists all deserve the death penalty

Yes! these atrocities you mentioned are horrendous. But the death penalty is useless, in the sense that it does not deter others from committing the same crime in future.

Many innocent people have been executed for crimes they never committed.

why not life imprisonment? remember no one has any right to take people's life not even the government.

Capital punishment is barbaric. Why should any sane country still kill people in the 21st century?

The death penalty is just state-sponsored murder.

The first one you introduced without any palliative. If you try it again, I am sure most people would not comply

Maybe she sold a business idea to him. But we never can tell, some men are funny

currently, there is no light. That minister of power is a pathological liar. I do not know where he took his survey. But in my area we rarely see light since last week.

KingsEst:
You mean you accept the possibility of a Spinoza god or any other theistic god. Quite surprising. The ever present aim of the devils is to discredit the God of Abraham in other to make mankind partake of their rebellion so that as much men may land in the flaming fire of judgment reserved for them.
You are a victim of their deception.

do you know what the god of Spinoza is? It is more like the laws of physics. Not the Anthropomorphic type of god, where someone is in the sky answering our prayers, cares what we do while naked etc.
