FOLYKAZE: Note pls. I applied for it. It not them calling or begging me to come. So your whole argument is baseless.

There is no atheist in Nigeria or what? The test have been cost free (except your t-fare), is that comparable to flying in and out of state without a clean certainty that you will be given room for it....you see the difference? Common stop this insincerity with fact.

Ranchhoddas: ...but will you see something different in it if a random guy on the street(you for instance)is made to consume the unusual diet instantly without any injuries or complications whatsoever?

Ranchhoddas: too much fringe(sci-fi) ...i want you to explain the physics of chewing bottles and not getting injured.

[size=14pt]Michel Lotito[/size]

Michel Lotito (June 15, 1950 - June 25, 2007) was a French entertainer, born in Grenoble, f[i]amous for deliberately consuming indigestible objects.[/i] He came to be known as Monsieur Mangetout ("Mister Eats All".

His performances involved the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and other materials. He disassembled, cut-up, and consumed bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, a Cessna 150, and other items. The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be "eaten", from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material as a teenager around 16 years of age and performed publicly from 1966.

Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday. He is buried at Grenoble Cemetery.

FOLYKAZE: Randi is as foolish as the people bringing it up. I have checked on this site and applied too. So you want me to fly to US with a typed letter for posting, record video and wait till another six month for processing. After that you fly in and out of America for screening and others before the final challenge. Can you finance flying to America pls? I dont know where some people keep their brain when discussing with others.

FOLYKAZE: This are the answers you should expect from nairaland atheist : intellectual cowards.

- I am not in Nigeria.

- You want to dupe us cuz it involve cost (despite asking them it free).

- I will shoot you dead so dont want to go to jail (this is classic escapism).

- My schedule is tight.

ghostofsparta: And after you have seen and believe, then we can focus on how to properly plot a way on how to tehnologize them into a modern society. Kanoko for instance can be an alternative to motor vehicle since it shortens long distance, so those who are late for work or appointment can just press a button and it does it trick. Egbe in its many versions can be used to teleport death-bound passengers in a soon-to-crash airplane or accidenting bus to a safe spot.

adanny01: From my own point of view, the a/c might not even have a problem. A/c in a very hot afternoon, after the car must have been parked in the sun is always very weak.

Joshthefirst: look carefully sir.

Joshthefirst: nope. This is what happens when you read all those phony books or watch all those phony films about judgement.

People won't enter heaven because they didn't believe in christ, they'll enter because of their sins. The wages of sin is death. Jesus came so that men who were guilty of sin and condemned would be able to be saved by trusting in him. They could be acquitted, set free. They could have their sins absolved.

Joshthefirst: Jesus himself said that those who do not believe in him are condemned already

It is sin that has condemned mankind.

Jesus came as the only remedy to sin, that's why he is the only way to have your sins remitted.

Uyi Iredia: One of these days I might just try that bottle of Guiness. A can in fact, much less assuming.

thegame: Lol, use style go do inspection at night na

Uyi Iredia: You have praised Deep Sight on more than one occasion on different threads.

Deep Sight: Really? Lol I think you are mistaken, he only ever had caustic curses for me, but still and always a beloved friend, nonetheless... as is Plaetton.

Joshthefirst: nope. This is what happens when you read all those phony books or watch all those phony films about judgement.

People won't enter heaven because they didn't believe in christ, they'll enter because of their sins. The wages of sin is death. Jesus came so that men who were guilty of sin and condemned would be able to be saved by trusting in him. They could be acquitted, set free. They could have their sins absolved.

Uyi Iredia: Punchline. Men no wonda jayriginal sef dey bow for u.

wisesystem: Great to see improvements with your car man but pls note that your coolant temperature guage 'hardly rising' like you said is an abnormally also, its suppose to within 5-7mins rise to 85 - 90degrees and remain that way for the rest of the day no matter the mileage u cover so pls check to ensure your car thermostat is still fitted. That,s actually one of the first things you learn on Nairaland. I ll advice you really make out time to go through topics of interest on Car Talk library. Best wishes man!

worldgee: I'm learning a whole lot here. Big tks 2 u guys 4 ur prompt response: they are all matured.

Throwing more light, d ride is over 4yrs & d thermostart is nt even there: guessed dis was removed long ago.

me2me: @ jayriginal

The AC still chills in the afternoons..test running is still on-going..

Logicboy03: I love this smoke weed craze babe.

Na them dey fawk d hardest.

Christian my azz.......

bolaino:
[size=14pt]Sir, I have thrown away every form of rational thinking in my life . . .

So if having faith and believing in God is irrational, I want to be the most irrational and most illogical human being in the world . . .[/size]

Purist: Just when I thought I'd seen it all. Good gracious! As if that was not enough, some people started arguing with so much assurance about the existence of spiritual spouses on the same thread. Cripes, we do have a loooooooong way to go in this country. I'm so weak all of a sudden.

Behind bobo: Yes true no doubt about that but don't u think the sequence should be to first understand the basics so that when playing through these masters games he will be able to relate to them.Else it will be confusing as many moves made by masters based on chess basics will seem out of place to him.
Standard chess boards have notations in a matrix form and these should serve a beginner I think.

MyJoe: Yes, you have consistently spoken of your belief in God being anchored on intuition and empiricism. “Appeal to intuition”, then, wasn’t the best way for me to put it.

I disagree with much of what plaetton has written – however, some quick points.

If the question “Is there EVIDENCE for God?” is asked, a Yes or a No would both be good answers, in my view. Here’s why.

1. God is not tangible – no one has ever seen him.

2. God is not to be seen in this dimension so the tools of science and research are useless in finding him.

3. Extra-sense perceptions of God, dreams, near death experiences, soul travel, etc, are subjective experiences – I mean, they always present a portal only the experiencer can log on to. (That explains why materialists like Martian and logicboy would hastily, and probably in ignorance, dismiss them as either lies, reading too much into ordinary things, or pure hallucinations.)

4. “Intuition” is tendentious, spectacularly subjective, and cannot be relied upon for the apprehension of objective truth. Logicboy did a sound critique of it above. I put a very similar argument to you in the past – where logicboy used the illustration of tribal folks believing the world is flat, I used that of Hindus venerating cows.

5. Outside an individual’s head, extra-sense perceptions cannot be equated with sense perceptions – that will make nonsense of the word “objectivity”.

6. The First Cause argument is good. But so is the counterargument.

I recall a cousin telling me he believes in God simply because he is comfortable with that position. At the end of the day that is what it often comes down to for the majority of thinking people – the position you prefer, since, according to Kierkegaard, you have to take a position.

Personally, I believe in the creator God because I am convinced that while a stone can have landed on the roadside without someone deliberately putting it there, the house I live in can’t have come about that way (“the improbable protrusion in reality”). But some atheists (like plaetton), on other hand, have reviewed the science available which tells them that the Big Bang came out of nothing without an apparent need for intelligent intervention. Some other atheists (like mazaje) insist that we don’t really know how it all started and since we can’t see any God or lightenings of him (and can't know even if we do since we don't know what God looks or sounds like) we can’t just conclude that God must be responsible. No lack of depth or thought there.

Besides, if we accept your argument we would have to accept the reverse argument that believers are necessarily the ones with depth and thought.

plaetton: Another comical offering from a homo Religillous ChristiANUS Nigriana. lol

damilarelr: Now listen carefully: this prayer is NOT meant for believers!

Have you ever come across a verse in the New Testament after the resurrection of Jesus where any disciple of Christ prayed the so called "Lord's prayer"?

Harshewarjuh: Hello Guys, am timmy..... ℓ sing, play drums(dats my 1st Love), and am learning the lead guitar........... Its painful my guitar tutor is in ekiti whr ℓ skul due 2 ASUU strike av nt been able 2 go further. Any one here who can render help 2 me?
