Catholicism is my religion. It is the one I'm certain of. I don't like talking based on assumption or guess work...and I never prevented people of other religions from talking about theirs. thank you.

Laughable to you because you're ignorant of the fact that "science" in the modern sense of the word mostly refers to the Scientific Method which wasn't practised or standardized until Franciscan Friar, Roger Bacon advanced it.

[b]I have been reading answers here and only aaronson seem to give an answer others were just attacking atheists or laying misconcepted notions about atheism and atheist instead of answering the question, let me give it from my own point of view.

We are in planet earth where people wish for magical way out of problems and circumstances thereby playing the victim's card, but a critical look at things will show you that nothing will solve your problems unless you put an effort into it yourself and if it works it is sorely your doing.

If you do not move that cup nothing will move it for you it will remain stationary until you move it, if you don't work on your circumstances nothing will do that for you.

I am an atheist and I don't wait around for anything or deity to solve my problems for me because as you know I don't believe or think they exist. any deity should be able to say "hi" first before solving problems.

So I am responsible for my circumstances and conditions . I take full responsibility for all my actions and I try to solve my problems myself, help from other people are also a huge plus because people are real [/b]

Successful people are in every dimension of varying ideologies it has nothing to do with atheism or theism. speaking of myself I live a very exciting and spontaneous life free from any psychological depency on abstract concepts like deities to solve my problems. so successful or not successful is all my responsibility.

about the diabolical uncle stuff, most of us are not superstitious so we do not share that you idea of uncles or anyone affecting your life through any nonsensical diobolical means. we live our lives without such stupendous fears of something that isn't there.

about sins; we do not share the religious idea of sins because what religion consider sin most times have no moral weight on that action.
what I consider good or bad is how you treat people and the world around you so I try to live my life in a way that I don't hurt anyone.
and when I offend anybody I apologize to them instead of a deity

Now listen, there is a big difference between the Jewish kiss and the French kiss.

plaetton:
You selectively or ignorantly forgot to mention that the Catholic church was THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN during the medieval era.

It is like saying that because Nazism was the only Game in Town in the 1940s Germany, we can attribute all German engineering marvels to Nazi ideology.

FrancisTony:
You know the alternate monikers getting on my nerves on the other thread, same dude you quoted now owns it.

So, I am not interested in quoting him.

My guy you go just die before your time..concentrate more on improving yourself..it is a social construct that you cant fight.. you will become a pariah..Thomas paine who wrote the "the age of reason" died a lonely man..even your best friends and family will abandon you.

5minsmadness:
You dey craze wey u dey quote me?!?!? Am coming!! (goes to look for bottle to break on his head)
.....
......
...... You see how coming and going can have the same context?

5minsmadness:
1. Jesus meant they would see him in his resurrected form i.e at his ascension.
"Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom."
He wasn't talking of the end of the world but rather his resurrection and ascension into heaven.

OR

Perhaps there are those who survive and still live, hidden by the Catholic Church until the end of time.

OR

Man will discover time travel before the end of time. Trust Christians to pay for a trip to the past to hear The MASTER himself preach. A futuristic pilgrimage of sorts. And He saw them and knew they were from the future and then made the statement.

I'm serious.

freecocoa:


But it's true na, it's not even as if all christians who read with the said holy spirit interpreting, understand the same thing, you see them giving different interpretations, makes you wonder if this holy spirit is not a confucionist or more like an illusion.

If 5 people who claim to have holy spirit gave 5 different interpretations
to the same verse , does that mean there are 5 different holy spirits ?

freecocoa:
They should keep waiting, sometimes I even think these christians know some of these things but fear constrains them.

The most annoying thing is telling someone he/she needs the holy spirit to understand plain English, like wtf? Why is the holy spirit needed only to understand the bible, if that were to be the case, why not just write the bible in holy spirit language instead of english? Religion is an insult walai.

ifeness:
Does the OP think the word " generation" means " people of the same kind"?

Well jesus's story is about the Sun and zodiac signs. Yes the Sun has come back again,again and again millions of time. Only deluded christians will wait to see an Arab guy in the sky.

[b]One problem with humans is that;
We understand half and talk double.

If you actually read my post well i believe my point was clear enough and i always do not bring my emotions into my positions of matters.

I am a man if at all my emotions should tilt on a side it should be in support of the men folks and not the women but when speaking of the injustice of societal bans one's emotions should never be in the deciding factor.

You are free to wear anything you choose to wear, which ever way people react to it is their doing not yours.

A woman's dressing in as much as it can trigger urges in a man doesn't place her the obligation of taking responsibility for man's inability to restrain himself.

We see women everyday dressed in all kinds of way same way we see men everyday dressed same. . That you cannot control the urges that surge within you is not the woman's fault.

That you choose to act on this urge and met out inhumane action of rape on the woman is entirely your fault and your doing.

A woman has the right just like you to wear what she likes and what she feels comfortable in, your reaction to it is your own doing. . . She is under no obligation to dress in a way to sate your urge that you cannot keep it in check is your doing entirely

We are in charge of our actions and choices unless you tell me that a woman's dressing controls your action?

Try and understand before concluding bro![/b]

A woman's dressing in as much as it can trigger urges in a man doesn't place her the obligation of taking responsibility for man's inability to restrain himself.

FrancisTony:
Raw truth hurts and some men don't love hearing it especially when written by their own gender.

FrancisTony:
Are you kidding me?
No matter how a Lady dress, she'll still be raped by perverts.

Most rape cases occur in a rural area, and go figure how village girls dress.
If a man money attracts a girl, and he ends up using her, the girl should accept the blame.
Everyone should account for their waywardness.

johnydon22:
It is not the u woman's fault that you cannot hold yourself from acting on your raging sexual urge, it is your fault in entirety if you fail to know when restraint is necessary and how to employ proper self control.

Blaming the women for the weakness, silliness and the inability of man to have a self control principle is very wrong.

She has the right to wear what wants and feels comfortable in, what ever reaction you allow yourself in response to that is totally you doing and not the woman's
