above is the different definitions of religion.

lemme ask haven't you heard a theist say things like I'm not religious but I believe that a god exists?

what do you think they mean when they say that.

do not be too personal on this issue...may be i am not getting it right...the forum is meant to share knowledge.... so see yourself as one who is part of the global knowledge center...

you personally do not believe GOD EXIST AND I THINK most if not all ATHEIST like you do not believe GOD EXIST....IS THIS GENERAL AGREEMENT among atheist WORLDWIDE not base on faith position ....

faith is a believe system about a particular phenomenon rather than proof(free dictionary)so atheism is not a claim of knowledge but faith

so tell me if most atheist do not share the same believe system? or is the agreement of atheism that GOD do not exist objectively verified ?

your reply may convinced me...


atheism rejects the claim of theism that a god that exists.

all atheists do not have the same view about their lack of belief.
few atheists believe there are aliens, some spirit etc.

some atheists only belief in the things they have evidence for and can verify so lack belief that aliens or spirits exists

some atheists belong to a religion (i.e. atheistic religions)

some don't.

so the only thing linking all atheists together is their lack of belief in god
likewise the only thing linking all theists wether Christians, Ifa, Muslim, or voodoo is their belief in god/gods but the nature or system of worship of the said god/gods is different understand?

note:I'm not interested in convincing you of anything you are totally free to reject my explanation.

OK, i agree with you for the sake of argument.....

but what if i say atheism is base on faith like religion. will you deny it?

atheism is lack of faith in a deity. wtf is wrong with you guys?

is theism a religion?

Theism is broadly defined as the belief in the existence of the Supreme Being or
deities

Atheism is commonly understood as rejection of theism in the broadest sense of theism, i.e. the rejection of belief in God or gods.

what the hell is the argument about again that it has reached 11 pages?

no two words of grammar are the same, i never said so.....but in this contest ,they mean the same thing....

look at the contest in which he use it''subjectivity can unearth objective truths BUT even when it hasn't it doesn't make the objective truth any less objective''


na wa for you. anyway read his reply he has explained what he meant
Religion / Re: Atheism Is A Religion by Humanistme: 5:09pm On Jan 20, 2018
hopefulLandlord:


its self explanatory and not in anyway confusing so I'm surprised you interpreted it the way you did

I'll try to explain and break it down as much as I could

before science discovered malaria, was it objectively existing? of course yes but humans had no idea, they just notice themselves falling sick and dying shortly after, they kept sacrificing to gods thinking the sickness is spiritual

Science eventually discovered what it is and much later, made a cure for it

Now, while the humans of those days thought their knowledge that the infection is spiritual is objective in their own "subjective" view, it did not in anyway change/invalidate the fact that its not spiritual

Same way that people then assert the moon created light on its own did not change the objectivity that the moon relies on the sun to reflect (not create) light

in the same vein, a tree the fell in the wilderness has fallen whether an observer is there or not

Objectivity does NOT in anyway affect objectivity one bit


I hope you get my point now

subjectivity does not affect objectivity you mean?

Religion / Re: Atheism Is A Religion by Humanistme: 10:18am On Jan 20, 2018
atheism and theism are just philosophical positions on the existence of God.

so an atheist may or may not be religious
as there are atheistic religions.

same way a person may not be religious but believe there is a god.

atheism is not a religion.

Likewise in Islam

A woman can wear gold but a man can't

A woman can wear silk but a man can't

A woman can dance but not the man(makruh)

A man must provide for all the needs not the woman

A man goes to war,not the woman

.
.
.
Why aren't these also called oppression of men?
Everything must not be seen only with the lens of oppression and subjugation.
We are equal but not the same.

@Seun.

the prophet that made the rules is a man. also compare what the women can't do to the men and tell me it's not oppressive. nonsense

if a man wears gold is he called a manwhore?
Religion / Re: Islam And Women's Rights: Equal Yet Different by Humanistme: 10:21pm On Jan 18, 2018
Seun:
Ok, let’s talk about equality.

When a man can marry four wives while a woman can only have one husband, is that equal?

When a man can beat a disobedient wife, but a woman can’t beat a disobedient husband, is that equal?

When a woman’s inheritance is half of what her brothers inherit, is that equal?

When the testimony of 2 women is equal in weight to the testimony of 1 man, is that equal?

When a rape victim is imprisoned in Dubai and her rapist is allowed to leave the country, is that equal?


a man can wear perfume but a woman that wears perfume is a LovePeddler

a woman's whole body apart from her hands and face is viewed as a private part therefore she must wear hijab but the same is not expected from men.

a man can marry non Muslims like Jews and Christians but a woman isn't allowed to.

Muhammad also said that a country that has a woman ad a leader is doomed.

[s]So far none of you has been able to show me a good source outside the Bible. I need something from historians that is why i didnt mention Bilal (an African) who worked with prophet Muhammad because i cant prove it without using an islamic source but talked about people like Bayajidda, Usman Danfodio, queen Amina, etc.

Just search "history of religion in Africa" and read from different sources to see things for yourself[/s]

I didn't quote any bible for you go do your research. internet is free. dalaman also dropped a link for you. add it to the Wikipedia links I dropped. or you can continue to stick your head up your ass

Islam came to Africa almost during the time of the Prophet. I will add more details later cos i can see that one poster up there has started emulating the al taqqiya style of the bible already

wrong Christianity came first. in Egypt and Ethiopia before the jihadists came.

Bro, This is an emotional outburst, her reason for this might not be psychology, but frustration.

She wants to get married. I think that's the message she is trying to send.

or she's far from frustration and wants to trend and gain followers and retweets. you guys have zero sense of humor

Shame. What a pathetic human being. This girl needs urgent psychological help. She is currently tethering on the verge of self harm or suicide. Ignore the fact that she presented this in a light tone. She is really psychologically disturbed. I'll advice that no man ask her out let alone propose to her until she has gotten the needed psychiatric help. This is the kind of woman that would murder her lover and his mistress in cold blood if he makes the mistake of cheating on her.

see analysis sha, person wey dey look for followers and retweets you dey drink Panadol for her headache. she wants to trend.

Religion / Re: Stages Of Social Deception by Humanistme: 11:23am On Dec 06, 2017
NightHound:
I don't know if I would agree with the term social "deception". If something can be adopted by culture through introduction and debate, then it only shows once again that nothing which exists is inherently good or bad, but is only perceived as good or bad depending on how we are affected by it. Because we are the center of our own universe at this moment in time, good or bad is defined by how it affects us either as individuals or as a collective race. That is how laws are made, they are humanocentric. From our perspective, the killing of a chicken, for instance, is not considered evil if it provides food for human beings.

If our perception gives quality and value to specific actions instead of the action having its own absolute and independent value, then its value cannot be permanent. And that is because human perception is fickle changes over time as the picture of the world becomes clearer to us. The aspects of conservative culture have been ratified in society by the same fickle perception which now ratifies elements of liberal culture. The reluctance to accept certain things by the conservative mind is due to his refusal to accept the broader perspectives that technological advancement allows, and not because something is inherently bad. Nothing is inherently bad.

Murder, for instance, is perceived to be bad because it threatens human life. If that were not the case, there would be no sense in banning murder, and it wouldn't be bad. Homosexuality is perceived to be a threat to the perpetuation of the human race, but it is not. And it is in proving that something does not affect us negatively (or threaten our existence) either as individuals or as a race, that the essence of discussion lies. And once proven, perception changes and ratifies actions. With tech advancement, homosexual couples have found ways to contribute to procreation. And people have recognized the hypocrisy of denying same-sex parents the opportunity to raise children, when children are being raised in homes where there's a single parent or where there is disaccord in a traditional setting - where the quality of care cannot be measured and compared explicitly. So, if we cannot say how it threatens us, how can we keep qualifying something as bad when there is no inherent value to begin with?

You're right about the stages (progression) of shock to veneration (or acceptance at least). But it isn't deception. It's just a re-evaluation of our reality through perception.


makes sense

The way you act during relationship will show what you will do in marriage. I'm sure you are wise enough to know that

The op has not complained she is lacking in character I don't know what you are pressed about.

And no the way you act in relationship is not the way you act in marriage. with marriage comes more responsibility and commitment.
note I'm not talking about personal attributes like anger issues or lying.

Can you show me where I said waking up early should be left to only one person? You will live better if you read with more understanding before commenting. In my own home, my parents taught us, both male and female, to wake up early. A mature woman sleeping till 7am when she will resume at work by 8am is an irresponsible woman with poor upbringing.

The op did not say she goes to work late. the time she wakes up does not affect her work. The op is worried about her waking up early to take care of imaginary children she hasn't given birth to yet. when her responsibility increases she will adjust. you do not know her to call her irresponsible.
