Can't wait for our fieldwork in Jos.

TheSonOfMark:
What do you mean by " Are the mods anti-Igbo?"?

So Biafra is for the Igbos alone?

Interesting revelation!

TSM, you know how cunning, egoistic and materialistic these Igbos are. If they eventually succeed how are we sure we'd be given the much needed recognition? As a-not-so-major-tribe, how are we sure they won't end up exploiting us? It's better we stick to the evil we know, than taking the risk and venturing into the unknown, thereby putting the future of our children in danger. Biafra is a fight for the Igbos not Ibibios...

Please reconsider...

Atheist Deistic buncum!

That was some serious Romancing They gave you.


As a loyal friend I'll pretend I didn't read them.

No matter how I try to catch-up, I'm always three pages behind.

• Philosophy

I love philosophy damn much. But this is the most craziest courses have ever done. They question everything without providing answers as every answers leads to more questions. In fact this course never provide solutions to any problem. They disagree between themselves and hold different perspectives. One funny thing is during exams, they'll expect us to be cramming the names of some early philosophers and their different, conflicting, sometimes almost similar philosophies like say we no get other things to read. I admire them tho. But unfortunately there's no ministry of wisdom in Nigeria.

• Zoology
Hmmmm

• Sociology
Haba OP. This course is legit na. They are our future detectives and vice versa.

• Social Work
Which one be this?

• Linguistics
Hahaha hmmm reminds me of my former female friend.

• Combined Social Sciences
Did you mean social science as a whole

• Public Administration (which public?)
• Political Science
In my school, they're all combined and holds the largest population in social sciences.

The study the government, criticizes it and fights for human rights. In this world of injustice we need them.

My favorite slogan: Man is a political animal.

• Estate Management (which Estate abeg?)
hmmmm

• Religion
Hahahaha. Extensive brainwashing. When religion mixes with education what do we have? But wait, my uncle is lecturing this course.

• Insurance
• Marketing
Dunno o

• Botany
speechless.

• Library Science
Power house of books. Dunno how lucrative it is cause everything in Nigeria is all about income.

• Corporative Economics
Economics? If you mean economics it should be outta this list o cause I still admire Prof. Soludo.

So you believe in a Creator but not the image of God or gods as painted by human beings as being dictatorial, tyrannical and demanding worship but rather a Creator who made man and then left him to his devices.

I wonder when and where you got this idea though. Think about it and try and figure out where the idea came from.

It's not a bad perspective. It is possible GOD got tired of the whole humanity thing and decided to leave us to our own devices sef, let us do as we deem fit. There's a story of an "Iron dome covering all the earth and keeping God from man until armageddon" that sort of tallies with what you are saying here.

I won't counter it. Fight against the man made perception of god you have been brought up to believe. It doesn't stop you from living a good life.

Man is the originator of every idea. I observe and formulate my own concepts too. After all those who formed this ideology you're parading didn't have two heads.

ratatis:
Interesting debates! I am learning!

@herald9
To expand your repertoire:
Since there is a "force" or "energy" that creates, there must also be another force or energy that holds or keeps binding what has been created together, for an indefinite time.
There must also be yet another force - a destructive force - that disintegrates or dissolves or destroys what has been created & bonded together by the two aforementioned forces, respectively.
This is the basis if the Hindu Trinity of Forces, namely, BRAHMA + VISHNU + SHIVA.

Are you a Hindu?

CreekReporter,
your mates have all gone out to seek a profitable work, but you chose to remain in the creek, militating against Airforce1... Who is sponsoring you?

Make una leave Airforce1 na. Go compose your own song and stop looking for who to use and gain popularity.

5minsmadness:
3. See why I say you are confused? In one paragraph you claim to believe in a creator and in the next you claim God is a fiction of human imagination! Confused atheist wanna be.

I forgot to clarify some issues in that post, I knew you'll take advantage of it. Twas my mistake tho.

To me, a god and a creator are two different things entirely, that's why I told you I believe in a creator but not in a god. Though Christians use these synonymously, I beg to differ.

A creator might be a 'force' or an 'energy' responsible for all existence. It is the force that creates, transforms and doesn't interfere in the activities of It's creation. Simply put, the Creator is a source of life.

In the other hand, a god is a human creation, who is assigned every human characteristics, like physique, colour, residence, tribe, names and most importantly, feelings.
This is why you see a god being jealous, getting angry, feeling hungry, demanding a token from humans, etc.

A god demands praise, worship and continous acknowledgements from humans in order to keep existing and to stay relevant, a creator does not as your mere existence is an evidence to it's existence too.

In summary, we were created and left to our own devices, man created god to fill in the unknown blanks of life.

5minsmadness:
Well then from your analogy we humans woluld cease to exist if we stopped using smartphones right? Or electricity or cars or aeroplanes or... U get my drift.
If man's existence does not depend on man-made things why would God's existence depend on his creations

Those things you mentioned are inanimate objects. We created them to enhance living. But you outrightly stated that god doesn't need us, so my question was why he created us in the first place.

Since we are all living things, we have the abilities to walk, talk, reproduce and most importantly, reason- independently. Those objects you mentioned up there can't do any of those and will cease to function without our interference. Therefore they are part of our living and not part our existence.
But do we need a god or several gods to function too?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an atheist. I believe in a Creator, but not an egoistic, narcissistic, totalitarian and dictatorial monster who craves for worship from his supposed creations and will do anything to get it even to the extent of threatening, killing, maiming and massacring them -just to get praise and worship!

A god is a figment of the human mind, an extension of human imagination, a craft to keep humans in bondage and suppress their sense reasoning. A tool used by certain humans in controlling the thinking and behaviour of other 'lower' humans and using them to gain wealth or carry out nefarious acts.

Television has always been the tool of the devil. I know it sounds very extreme (deeper-life ish) but look at it critically. Anybody can put anything on TV or in movies and laypeople immediately take it in like it's real.
Do you really believe Spartacus fvcked women on top of tables for his master's entertainment?

You think our girls are not influenced by the nak3d fashion they see thier "models" wearing on TV? Or the guys aren't influenced by the vulgar affluence and wealth of world renowned rappers and sportsmen?

You're influenced by What you chose to believe or addicted to, and people should be able to use their discretion in certain things. But I wonder why a Christian should be watching such movies.

Have u watched the series Dominion? It tells how God's angels came down to earth to kill all of mankind and man's struggle to fight back. And it's a series which means people are going to be watching it all the time FROM season 1 to 5 and goodness knows how many episodes.

You think most people watching that series will still see God's angels or GOD for that matter in good light?

You got to give the devil marks for subtlety.

The movie was kinda funny sha I must admit. They said god died and humans were responsible, so the angels came down to avenge his death. That's funny.

Back to business. I really don't care whatever light they like to paint your god and its extraterrestrial beings. I'm not a believer.

And you want to compare Animal sacrifices with Human sacrifices abi? I haven't laughed in Spanish in a long time! Bwarhahahaha!

Sacrifice has to do with the life force being offered. And in most creatures the life force is in the blood. Without that blood there can be no life. It is the ultimate sacrifice you can offer any diety.

Now God was always specific about shedding of human blood. He abhors it vehemently. The cases of Jephthah and the other king who offered Human sacrifices to GOD were of thier own doing and not at God's request. In fact Hiswordxray should furnish me with the part of scripture of the king who sacrificed his child when the Isrealites were destroying his kingdom. GOD was fighting for the Isrealites o, but had to stop the fight immediately the king did that cos He knew the magnitude of that act.

The only 'human' sacrifice GOD has ever accepted was HIS OWN SON JESUS CHRIST and even this was at Jesus Christ's request. It shows the magnitude of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for ALL of mankind, once and for all for all humanity. The blood of a God offered freely in the form of a man. Even in pagan rituals there is no greater sacrifice than one who offers himself willingly.


Unfortunately man has belittled this sacrifice. He has taken God for granted and has gone his own way. Only a select few remain faithful just as the bible fortold. Now men are lovers of themselves, lovers of money and lovers of thier knowledge(technology). They laugh and scorn and say "There is no God."

And yet when ever something bad happens to them, when some great tragedy occurs, they look up to the heavens and shake thier fists in anger, blaming a "non-existent God" for thier man made predicament.

Blood is blood, whether from man or animal. Any being or spirits that requires blood or flesh in order to survive is either a cannibal or vampire.
You didn't address my question, instead you performed gymnastic with words and arrived at a conclusion that is only sensible to you.

Thanks for your athleticism.
