I still didn't read your post.

.....but you quoted and replied it

Okay...you win!

analice107:
You are trying to make me have a discussion with you? I'll pass.

You must be so special. I was only asking questions to point out how your ad hominems against me were wrong.

At least, I believe myself to be sane enough not to be shouting "islamic terrorism" "taquiyah" "ped,ophile prophet" and engaging in other islamophobic diatribes every day on nairaland while ignoring flaws in my own religion.


I discuss science fiction, movies, philosophy and many other things outside religion.

Cheers

malvisguy212:
still the same thing, does the bible encourage it ? Keep on searching the internet, search very well, you may find christianity weak point. That will ease your fear, if christianity is true or false.

There is tithing in the bible, isnt there?

Even though, I'm sure that the tithing in the bible is different from what we have today.

analice107:
I have taken time to study the minds of folks in this forum, and i have come to the conclusion that some folks are not worth the trouble, and you Logicboy are one of such individuals, so i can't bother with your illogical opinions. So you see, whatever you say doesn't matter to me.

Interesting opinion you have there!

However, shouldnt this thread be testament to why you are wrong? How many people share your opinion? Also, are you a qualified psychologist to be studying and analysing the minds of nairalanders?

urahara:
There is a secular channel that does that called , the vegan atheist . maybe i should email the guy first

lol...the guy would need to employ staff because the amount of silly comments on Nairaland he would have to got through.....

analice107:
You had time to respond to that one. lol

I appreciate the irony. You are complaining that someone responded by responding to the response.

malvisguy212:
I thought you want to say "can you imagine the bible say...". But NO, its a christian brother. Almost, all home have bad eggs, one of christ disciple betray jesus. So relax.

Among every 12 there is a Judas abi?

Among every 12 Nigerian christians, 7 are tithe hustlers

Among every 12 Nigerian pastors, 13 are tithe hustlers.


Yet you are here talking about bad eggs. Menn, you have as much rotten eggs in the basket as good ones. Better go and educate your brothers in christ.

Her proportions dont look real abeg!

urahara:
Some people just keep getting dumber and dumber everyday

Dumb or dangerously ignorant?

How can you say that someone should not go to school because you want your church/pastor to receive tithe money?


This is why we need some secular channel to be reading out "dumb nairaland comments" to shame some of these people on tv or youtube

When will my ex-church, the catholic church stop getting involved with molestation?

Priest who had been banned from public ministry for molesting a young girl is given a position with access to teen girls

Can you imagine your christian brothers telling their fellow christian to pay tithe instead of paying his brother's school feels? And you wonder why people leave christianity to become irreligious

Yeah, right

KingEbukasBlog:
Let's find this elusive planet of yours called earth-2 before these questions would be plausible . Do I write Chinese ?

But you criticized the fact that I said that earth-2 humanoids wouldn't be Yahweh worshippers or christians.


Anyhoo. I know we haven't found the elusive planet- we were both theorizing.....until you couldn't take the logical consequences of finding aliens.

KingEbukasBlog:
You can peruse through this thread and make inferences . You can ask me questions if need be .

Huh?

I asked a question.

KingEbukasBlog:
Exactly ! Christianity is meant to be beneficial and it has been .

Please not when I talk about the evil of religion I'm talking about the despicable acts carried out by " Christians"

If the atheists had modern weaponry then more decimation that means the numbers are meant to sky-rocket

Christianity appeals to man's greed

-salvation
-eternal paradise
-God's blessings


Christianity, like most Abrahamic religions, is all about benefits.

KingEbukasBlog:
'Which of course , they wouldn't ' - that's a blatant show of ignorance and close-mindedness

The bible never said that Adam and Eve were the first humans . Ever heard of Pre-Adamic period ?

You are stating suppositions here . Let us first find aliens that look like humans then all these questions would be plausible

Did Jesus get crucified on earth-2? Was Jesus baptized on a frozen planet?


How would earth-2 humanoids be christians?


This is the difference between a philosopher and a closed-minded fundamentalist....one designs a fictional concepts with layers of logic while the other bolsters his myths with dogma and threats.

KingEbukasBlog:
The same way Ive not seen Heaven is the same way I have not seen hell .

Ugh ! Any atheist on earth is ignorant - truth .

@Emboldened text -you write too much nonsense

Okay, is the bible clear on hell? Does it explain what hell is?


Yes or No?


If yes, post bible verses.

KingEbukasBlog:
Bro . They did kill even greater number of people in the absence of religion - that's me stating a fact . Atheism has never benefited anyone

Atheism is not meant to benefit anyone. Atheism is just an empty disbelief.

The only thing that I gained as a secular atheist is that I don't have religious shackles on my brain and life- which a deist too can gain.


Also, note that your are comparing communist atheists who had modern weaponry to middle aged religious savages. Your numbers are skewed.

KingEbukasBlog:
Insinuating that aliens could have created humans right ? Smh . And I'll ask who created the aliens since you want to ignorantly push the onus of creation on aliens .

i didnt insinuate that aliens created humans. Although, many scientists see that as a possibility!


My point is, if we find aliens that are human-like on an earth-like planet, then the bible has failed with its creation story because it definitely failed to mention earth-2. It would then be open to questions-

-Are Adam and Eve the first humans? What about the humanoids from earth-2? Are they older?
-Who is more in Gods image us humans or earth-2 humaniods?
-Why did the bible omit earth 2?
-Do they worship Yahweh (which of course, they would not)

KingEbukasBlog:
How is that ignorance You'll be in hell if you continue this way , what's the big deal

Have you seen hell? Do you know where it is? Even the bible is not clear about hell.

This is why you are ignorant. Hell is not a concept one who reads the bible should focus on.

KingEbukasBlog:
Lol . God could have created aliens . I'm an open minded Christian . Smh

Open minded in a contradictory way towards the bible?

And if the aliens we find are human-like nko? Does that not destroy the creation story?

KingEbukasBlog:
Your ignorance was not because you were a christian , I mean you are still ignorant . I think you need to work on yourself and stop putting the blame on religion or being deluded thinking atheism has extricated you from ignorance .

Think deeply about what I just wrote .

Is this the same guy that believes that Atheists and homosexuals will go to hell because they hate God?

I'm not the ignorant one here

Reyginus:
No, I don't think so. She's not like that.

I expected this denial from you

Reyginus:
Hello tufa, what's up with you?

ishilove happened

As a hardcore christian, I was ignorant.

Ignorance is bliss.

But it is nothing compared to the wonders of knowledge

-The knowledge that life is precious and no one owns your soul
-The knowledge that there is not only one dogmatic truth but a million things we could learn
-The knowledge that love is far better than obedience or servitude.


Freedom of mind is very powerful.

Atheism is sobering but it is also empowering.

The Great Filter Hypothesis --the idea that all sufficiently advanced civilizations destroy themselves before going intergalactic, or that we’re simply not interesting enough.

.

I really like this hypothesis. Considering the extinction of species here on earth, it could be possible. Just look at how the world came close to nuking itself after world war 2. We could have bombed ourselves to death.

Areaboy2:
hmmmm. Been a while a said anything regarding religion on nairaland.
In line with the above, I don't really think I have changed much in any of the points listed above except No. 6. I've always not fancied them but currently loathe people deceiving others even when I'm sure they don't believe the crap they spit out.

I have always been curious about things and that is the main reason for my disbelieve in the "god" idea. I asked a question back in my uni S.U. days (brother Gus ) and till date, never got a satisfying answer. What is the purpose of life?. I came to the conclusion that just like the animals, there isn't a particular purpose. we are all just one part of a big system that needs the other to survive to an reasonable extent. Fortunately for us we have the intellectual capacity to even ask such questions.

So yea, I've always been kind, thoughtful and cheerful. Religion did not teach me any of that as it is just who I am.

On the flip side, I don't worry about death any more. Its inevitable and I just hope I can choose how I go. My friends know me for one annoying phrase....

"I've had a good run"


Area_boy

It is good to see a cheerful person. Living in Nigeria has made me moody. I smile a lot but I'm actually dead inside. My life is great but I cant stand to see others suffer while wicked people enjoy.


I'll soon be returning to Europe and I'm seriously considering staying for good.

KingEbukasBlog:
considering that atheists and their myrmidons killed close to 240 million people , I think making them believe there is no God would be more effective . what do you think?

And you say you're not a fundamentalist?

dblackninja:
Lol some don't wanna die and Logicbwoy is very very afraid of death..Why da fvuck do we die

Besides JackBizzle , are you still in spam cell If yes, then what you did is way beyond naughty But there's hope..!

Nope...been free since.


Everyone is afraid of death. No one knows what comes next

KingEbukasBlog:
Lol bro ... from your specious arguments and illogical questions , I think Im the one who has hope for you .

Go and read this thread from the beginning.

We have talked about time travel, space, alternate universes, paradoxes, time, God's omnipotence etc.

Going through your profile, it seems you need to appreciate intellectual discussions. There is a long way for you to go.

KingEbukasBlog:
First , the word 'fundamentalist' is pejorative . I dont force my beliefs on people , instead I ridicule theirs especially when they claim theirs is rational . Fundamentalists believe that everything in the bible is literal , I believe that some are allegorical . Etc

lol....fundamentalists take a very literal approach to the bible, which you do. They don't have to take everything in the bible to be literal, they just have to take enough. Also, fundamentalists take a conservative approach and do not respect other religions because their way is the only way.


What exactly is the difference between you and the westboro baptist church?

-you both hate homosexuals and atheists]
-you both believe christians are persecuted in a christian majority country
-you think christianity is superior to other religions and think that your bible should be the basis of morality.


The only difference is that you lack the balls to preach to people in real life. A cowardly thing given that your lord in the bible commands you to go out and preach the good word.

KingEbukasBlog:
I am not a fundamentalist .

Then why do you sound like the Westboro baptist church?
