peterphd: Hahaha.. Name calling. It's funny that you think anyone that speaks against the harassment and insults white people face because they're white is an uncle Tom. Have you looked at cases of violence against cops? No prizes for guessing which race comes out with all guns blazing. The episode involving a 12 year old is sad but isn't racially motivated as you can't even tell us of the officer knew the gun wasn't real. My point about Arabs isn't defeated because Arabs don't receive half the vitriol white people when they decide to use common sense policies.
The standard police procedure when having an armed suspect is to park at a safe distance, disembark then take cover and then, ask the suspect to lay down his arms. If the suspect resists, then shooting is in order.
However the police drove up to the boy and shot him. Are the cops not mean't to ask questions again? Or are they meant to shoot before asking questions.
I am starting to wonder if you have ever lived abroad. The fact is that police are harsher on black people.
Your point about blacks committing certain crimes is meaningless and besides the point. Should we maltreat white people since they are the highest consumers of cocaine and also the highest offenders when it comes to white collar crimes in America or the UK? Should we maltreat Arabs because some of their brothers are suicide bombers?
The fact remains that unarmed black people are more likely in the USA to die by cop.
peterphd: I mean to say the left leaning journalists are pushing the victimhood agenda too hard on everybody. Playing the racist, sexist (misogynist), political correctness card everytime. White people should be given a break too you know.The Arabs too had slaves but they aren't bashed and shamed for being Arabs like the whites are for being whites.
Are you a black man?
Or a white man in a black body? Oreo? Uncle Tom? Coconut?
The officers were wrong in most of the cases. There is no victimhood agenda here. There are only black victims in this case. How do you explain a black boy of 12 being shot because he was playing with a toy gun?
Also, you even defeat your point- how many liberals live in Arab countries? huh?
Umartins1: I am still not satisfied. If I do evil, why should evil come back to me? Is evil programmed in such a way that, whenever I do evil it must come back? If yes, who/what programmed it?
Umartins1: Just that? Nothing(no one) triggers a sword-man to slaughter another sword-man? Does it just happen by chance? Don't forget Newton's law; an object will continue to remain in its stationed position unless acted upon by an external force.
Newton's law has nothing to do with what we are saying. Human beings and morality are not some inanimate matter for physics experiments.
And even if we go by Newton's law, wouldn't the killer or sword-killer be the external force? An external force being the architect of his own doom? If you throw a ball on a wall, wouldnt the ball bounce back on you?
This is not a matter of chance but series of actions that lead up to a finale or climax, if you will. The maltreatment of a child today can lead to the growth of Hitler tomorrow.
Anas09: Babe you are a Christian? Are you having sex with that atheist?
A Christian who kicks at Gods instructions.Wow. interesting.
Shey wen Crisis arises tomorrow, (which most definitly arise with time)and you cry out to God, but he wont listen(because u wont listen to Him and have built on a wrong foundation) You would murmur/ Complain giving your athiest boyfriend room insult God more?
Sitting in Church doesn't make one a christian, more than sitting in a garage makes one a Car.
What is with christianity (or Abrahamic religions) and threats?
You sit down wishing crisis on someone's relationship because you feel that they don't follow God the way you do. Who even told you that you are a true christian?
Judging someone on Nairaland does not make you a christian either, bro.
Certitude: I don't know if hitler was a christian but in a book i read, he stated that "christianity is a religion for the sick-heads." He made mention about preferring the mohammedian religion.
Oh, hitler was a christian. He just wanted a more aggressive christianity
If my friend is drowning and I can swim , what stops me from jumping in to save him ?
Now what if I cannot swim
Praying is otiose to you because you are an atheist . God already told David that his son's death is the condign punishment for his adulterous behavior and murder .
What about Elijah and the prophets of Baal ? Didn't God answer Elijah's prayers and proved His power ? Or are you oblivious of the story?
Okay, pray to God to make me stop being an atheist.
winner01: Just remember this always people, before you're dragged down that dusty lane: Atheists are under no moral obligation not to lie.
Peter denied Jesus thrice Judas betrayed Jesus Pastor VP Osinbanjo promised N5,000 for poor Nigerians Adeboye claimed he drove for miles in a fuel-empty car
Point- the bible does not stop anyone from lying. Christians lie too.
There are rational people that believe in God. Just because someone is irrational in one part of life, it doesnt mean that the person isnt rational in another part of life.
There are scientists that are racists. They believe black people are inferior monkeys. There are atheists who believe that women are less intelligent than men.
Amberon: Dhuuuur!! Adolf Hitler hated Christians and even said he was going to eliminate christianity. Out of the 11m people that were killed by Hitler, 6m were Jews and much of the rest were Christians.
Lies. Hitler believed that he was doing the lord's work.
KingEbukasBlog: He questioned his belief in God not his knowledge of God which of course is non existent . Since he had no knowledge of God , he became an atheist .
Its not rocket science bro
Dead thread by the way oh ye epigones of winner01
More and more people are becoming atheists.
Did you know that far back in 2012, you'd only find one atheist thread out of 64 threads in the religion section? In 2016, every third thread is either atheistic or anti-religious
Imagine you want to cross a river to the other side of the land . See prayer like a boat that can enable you to go the other side of the land . Without rowing the boat you can't get to your destination . Rowing your boat is the work or effort you put , prayer creates that convenience and what makes crossing to the other side of the land convenient ? Your boat .
Rubbish.
If your friend is drowning, would you pray or would you jump in the water to save him?
Prayer is useless.
King David prayed and shouted but his son still died. God himself does not even like answering prayers
KingEbukasBlog: Bro , my explanation was on Hitler - proving he was no true Christian . He is an atheist , I've had this argument before but let's not have it .
Hitler believed in God. Unless you have a quote where he recanted, stop lying
