[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3684251#msg3684251 date=1238769033]They should please give us Andray Blatche so we could get rid of that Dampier bum!! the worst team in the East beat the best team in the East and their perennial playoff conquerors i guess they where tired of making Obama upset at them its a mystery how a team with Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler happen to be so poor this season[/quote]The wizards have some solid young players from what i saw last night. I think the problem is they are not consistent in hustle and don't bring the same effort every night. Cleveland is their #1 rival _{in heart not record} and they always play tough against them.

and Cleveland self, they showed that if you get physical with them down low and keep them out the paint, turning them into a jump-shooting team you can beat them.

and by the way I think the Broncos are getting the better deal . . . two 1st Rd picks?    that's a lot for Chicago to give up for an unproven crybaby drama queen qb.

I wonder what the Pistons will do . . . AI might just be out for the rest of the season. He's def not coming back next yr that's for sure.

[quote author=lai-lai link=topic=148652.msg3682358#msg3682358 date=1238739552]this thread really needs a cavs fan, we should be discussing lebron's feats with someone at least
i suggest one of the celtic chics, or bawo(esp if bulls lose d playoff battle) convert [/quote]hehe . . . if they beat the Celtics and end up representing the East in the finals, then they can be my finals fling .

See as the Wizards humbled them last night, their biggest win all year and a possible hint of how good they could be next year.

lol . . .

[quote author=Mad_Max link=topic=256119.msg3677548#msg3677548 date=1238664823][size=16pt]Atheist threads on the Christian section? YES! They're often illuminating.

Endless spamming? NO!

Stop spamming or create an Atheism child board where y'all can bump and jive. [/size] [/quote]My sister may God bless you for this concise and astute summation! 

Bobbyaf:
This thread is for both sets of people, Christians as well as those who are contemplating becoming one. My opening paragraphs were designed to paint a picture of God's love for us humans.

Can we look at some of the steps we need to take to come to Christ. What do you think the first step is?

I think its different for different people as we're all coming from different circumstances and backgrounds. However universally, I think the first step to coming to Christ is to believe in Jesus and His death, sacrifice and resurrection. Then repentance and the rest follow.

Why ya'll hating on Nicky?   

  I saw knowing last weekend at the movies. It was just me and bf at 12:30am in the theatre _{for some reason the entire place was empty that night} . . . the movie is a little scary esp if the underpaid reel workers leave the volume turned up waayy too loud  and you're alone in a 800+ seat auditorium. Overall, I think its a decent movie, a few nice twists and turns.

chiogo:
Awww, I LOVE my Celtics. . . .orlando, deuces suckas. for now. Friday will take care of itself. .those ATL devils.

@ jesoul, girl, you know it!

They have not beat us this yr 0-3 . . . walahi we shall once again pluck off the wings from those hawks

Chiogo I hope you're smiling the leprechauns are victorious tonight _{with gratitude to hornetstone}

kai this game na die    2.1 secs to go . . . abeg no reach 3OT

chiogo:
Double over time, this is crazy! Jesoul, we equally need this win for that # 2 spot. .# 1 spot will be pushing it. I can't even predict this game, it's beyond me.

#1 is def out the question with the way those evil cavs are playing. We suppose hustle to try for #2 sha. It is still possible.

Moonstone:
I'll send you champagne and chocolate. He'll adapt back. KG is a fighter. . . i'm sure he'll be shaped up enough by second round and y'all can beat Bulls and Pistons with your legs tied together in playoffs. Don't worry jare. . . I'm actually on your side for this one.

Can you send that by super sonic fastmail?  I'd like a glass or two before bed    been a mighty long day. 

na wa oh . . . double OT. Our players don't have the stamina and health for these kinds of marathons now Larry brown has really got the cats playing hard, I'm impressed. If they get the 8th spot they won't be a walkover for cleveland.

ahh its not over oh!      Rondo knocked down clutch FT's          game tied . . .

Moonstone:
I heard that they are going to rest KG till playoff time so his sore knee can get better. That's a great decision. Y'all are having the Arsenal flu. . . so many injuries and see the way Cavs are just running away with so many victories. 13-winning streak . . . this is serious.

Even if he comes back in time for the playoffs, he will not have any momentum whatsoever. You can't just plug back in and be at that high level to win. _{men this so sucks! that repeat is getting farther and farther away from my rearview mirror.}

chiogo:
Emeka okafor, I don't care if you're Nigerian. . .I'm definitely not feeling you right now. How dare you push "the truth" like that? You must be mad. Lolz.

Jesoul, lolz. .is it just me or is perkins. . .? I can't even find the word. I'm dying over here, lmfao. Lord have mercy!

lol Perkins dey try jare. Without KG we have zero emotion - say what u will about skill and talent but if they heart and passion and fire no dey nuthin for you.

Bobcats are a team on a mission to snatch that 8th spot and I won't be mad if they even win tonight so that Bawo will not have any mouth to talk once his baby bulls are bounced outta the playoff picture.

Crappy is a good way to describe the movie. I painfully stayed till the end and watched the whole thing at the movies . . . I hissed so many times during and after it talk about weak and flat. If only I could get a refund for my $10 and 2:30 hours wasted

JeSoul, i dont think so! Or do i say who (which body) wrote d holy scriptures? Am confused.

Better.
Kunle has given a summary or look it up in wikipedia for details of where and when. I'll add that some believe the bible is the word of God, written by man. Others believe its a flawed book and not every word is from God. Its your perogative to choose which you want to believe.

Chrisbenogor:
Its tricky and I have to agree that spamming and overtaking threads meant for other issues can make life difficult.
But its a flavour that is needed, like someone pointed out, soon it would be jehova's witnesses spamming with threads that hell does not exist
Most atheist carry with them the feeling that they have been cheated by their former religions (just saying generally) so one can sense the anger, some other times they just love to be wise asses (meself included) especially when vulnerable christians are around. This is not to excuse the foul attitude of some christians but again that is not the issue, we should learn to accommodate one another
Cheers.

Pastor AIO:
You are a very wise man and the Atheist with the most integrity on Nairaland. Yes sir, a gentleman and a scholar.

Yup I definitely second that. Chris is by miles and light years my favorite atheist on NL. I especially love his humility and cheerfulness . . . so refreshing.

mazaje:
are you angry because i didn't reply to you post? , did i open 2-3 more threads asking the same questions i asked on the previous thread? i didn't reply to your post because the answer you gave were nothing but funny apologetics so i decided to let it be. . . . .you copied and pasted different things from different passages of the bible and claimed you have answered me. . . anyway i will reply your post if that is what you want. . . .

Weak excuse. If the scriptures were so pointless you woulda returned to show how.

  Please don't bother replying. I have less than zero intrest in 'discussing' and I will expend no more effort or energy on such exercises in futility.

Pastor AIO:
This is an excellent question.  I have often tried to make the distinction between carrying the title of Christian on the head and actually living the christian life.  This is a very important distinction and one that Christ makes himself. 

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead people's bones and every kind of impurity.

I know for certain that it is not the professing of christianity that makes one a christian.  On this forum I've been accused of being all sorts from being an atheist (simply for agreeing with evolution) to being a babalawo (for having knowledge of Ifa) etc.  Over the last few weeks I've given some thought to these accusations (I say 'accusations' because they were phrased as accusations).  While I've not being initiated into Ifa so I cannot by any means be called a babalawo there are many precepts found in Ifa that I agree with and would strive to live my life by.  If the aim of Ifa is to achieve Iwa Pele, that is a harmonious state of being, then I share that ambition.  I might go about it differently from the way most Ifa worshippers  go about it but I appreciate the common goal.  Outwardly then I am not a babalawo but inwardly I might even be more aligned to it than the initiates. 

When I read the Tao Teh Ching, I find many precepts that I can apply to my life and take.  Does that make me a Taoist?  Just because I am not wearing the label and going to the group meetings many Taoists might say 'no' I'm not one of them.  But really?  Does it require recognition by A group to become a member of the religion? 

I don't believe that anywhere in the world God leaves himself without a witness such that any discerning person can perceive.  The heavens declare the glory of God.

1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.

True knowledge of God is all around us.

My position is that all these tags and labels are highly overrated and are often quite meaningless.  Most christians are christian in nothing but the name, while many others are very christian in everything but the name.

A post of incredible substance. I concur most especially with the last paragraph.

bawomolo:
i still believe it's a case of confirmation bias (seeing only what you want to see).

So what exactly am I not seeing then oga Bawo?

mazaje:
i dont care if seun makes the section or not i just want to know why christians feel the have they right to insult other people's faith and get mad when others do the same to them, they hide under the pretext of we spamming the religous thread when we know that they are not comfortable with most of our post. . .

You opened a topic last week. I replied several times, and answered your cry for scriptures . . . you never came back, instead you abandoned it and have opened 2-3 more since then asking for more answers.

mazaje:
is this what this thread has turned into? opening of topics? . . . does it matter if he has opened 1 or 2 topics in 10 years? david and osisi are all over the islamic thread calling allah a devil, mohammed a saddist fool, but when we call yahweh a stupid fool he get all emotional and accuse of ridiculing a deisty he reveres with his own life. . . . why is it right for christians to call atheist fools for not believeing in their god? but wrong for atheist to show them the inconsistencies of their own argument?

It isn't.

 I have looked everywhere on this thread and see no one clamouring for atheists to stop insulting God. Ya'll can knock urselves out with all the insults and abuses at God all you want.

 JUST STOP SPAMMING THE RELIGION BOARD!!! Simple

[quote author=**osisi link=topic=256119.msg3670466#msg3670466 date=1238527159] For the 20th time,the girl asks you to open your little thread without creating 20 / day of the same issue.
Is that hard to understand? [/quote]Apparently it is.

bawomolo:
do you have to open threads to spam? wouldn't comments like Arab slaves, your prophet is a pedophile (when most girls married young during that periods) be considered spamming, rants, or insulting. How would you feel if i repeatedly called Jesus a wandering vagabond (he would be considered that in modern day terms)?

This thread is purely confirmation bias.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

There's no point in continuing the debate if Atheists are accused of doing what anyone else does.

I'm not sure what else to tell you . . . Mazaje accused David and Osisi of being the same as the atheist spammers in the islam section - creating topics and abandoning them - I replied saying he should prove it.

Did I say atheists and others cannot open topics? I said multiple topics on the same subject is my bone of contention. I think you are delibrately choosing to ignore that simple point. Posting whatever you want on existing topics is not spam . . . making 100s of topics on the same thing is.

  I even said I don't mind the insults, let them go ahead. Insults and abuses on my faith don't faze me. I would just like to see some order restored to the religion board - is that too hard to understand?

mazaje:
pls go and read some of the islamic threads once again. . . . .

I have been to the forum less than a minute ago and see no evidence of your accusation:

Simple questions:
You accused David and Osisi of spamming as well so I asked:

  How many times have David and Osisi opened threads in the Islamic forum?  Have they opened multiple threads for the same topics?

David said he has opened only 2 topics there in 5months. I can't even find one from Osisi. Do you admit you were wrong?
