BuhBye:
What type of projects, are you writing a book or something? Does it have to do with you moving to ABJ?
Hope I'm not being nosey.

Lol. you definitely are.

LordReed:
Hey that's great. What's your movement like today and tomorrow. I may have some free time today and tomorrow.

Drop your email

LordReed i think we can meet now. let's talk

BuhBye:
Boss whatsup with you these days?
It's like you have some projects you are working on?

I have been o. very busy trying to put my apartment in order

Image123:
Who knows, maybe he finally found God.

LMAO abi? Wouldn't that be very interesting

why is this here again?

malvisguy212:
before you even reply my mention, I know your answer is " I am not afraid of death" .

So? is that bad? is it possible that he actually isn't afraid of death?

malvisguy212:
How can any man claim to be an atheist unless he has traveled to the farthest place in the universe?

I could ask you this question and it still would be as valid and demonstrate the complete inanity of that question. How could you claim to be a christian unless you have transversed the entirety of this universe? how? tell me?

if you are an atheist and yet you fear death,

Fear of death is in fact an intrinsic part of life. Since what it means to live is to not die, it is completely logical that life incessantly tries to not die.

maby you are uncertain if death is the end of your existence

or maybe they think it is, that is why the'd want to linger on as long as they can get

Evangkatsoulis:
Athiests in the house,
What drives you everyday, with no belief in God and by implication no external meaning to life? For those(atheists) suffering everyday doing hard labor or earning below living wages or sickle cell patients etc., what stops you from quitting(commit suicide)?

How do you find meaning in life? Cognitive dissonance? Or what philosophy of life do you subscribe to?
Please share.

Uuuhm, it's pretty simple; The purpose and meaning in life isn't external, it isn't transcendent, it is immediate, it is localized, confined to the time we have.

I wake up every morning - I'd honestly want to eat - Purpose: Get something to eat.

I really wouldn't like to sleep outside - Purpose : Make money for rent.

I'd honestly like to live in the best houses, ride the besr cars, live happy, travel, marry, kids, build houses, have fun with friends, drink beer.: Purpose - Work, achieve them.

You see? It's pretty simple. My purpose is local, it's immediate, it effectively drives my life and how i choose to live it.

And it is relatable to everyone here.

I enjoy the experience of life and I'd want to experience it for as long as i can get - therefore i have absolutely no reason whatsoever to wish for death, it is blatantly consonant to what i want, things i enjoy.

Finding things like meaning and purpose outside your life, outside this earth which you know is real, effectively makes this immediate, localized life that you are living meaningless.

The value of a thing isn't that it gets to last forever, as a matter of fact, more common something is, more meaningless it becomes.

An infinite life is as a matter of fact infinitely meaningless.

So now, i have questions for you;

1. why haven't you committed suicide yet? You believe in a place that is infinitely better than this earth and life. I don't see why anyone would intentionally sleep outside in the dirt when he has a mansion in Lekki.You supposedly have somewhere infinitely better, why linger here any longer?

2. When you are in heaven, with the infinite enjoyment and life. Remind me again what the purpose and meaning will be in that?

It's funny the irony of this question didn't fall on you before you posted it.

Your thoughts on this video.

We could see one of these days and discuss about them

Blockdock90:
I used the words Staunch and Strong to indicate unwavering devotion or belief, rather than extremism like you assuming. I used those words as a counter argument to people who will come and say that I wasn't really a christian or I wasn't really an atheist.

Oh i know Staunch or strong implies lack of implicit agnosticism in this positions which you have reaffirmed here with your insertion of unwavering.

So, my observation actually is still supported by you

Blockdock90:
Christianity and most other religions are closer to the truth than Atheism.

On the question of God:

From my reliable research,

Can you provide us with these research sources and materials? Because for someone who thinks Atheists are brainwashed by science, showing this much trust in this your " reliable research" does in fact inject elements of you being brainwashed by these research sources just as you say the atheists are by science.

the creation of humans is part evolution and part artificial intervention. I'm not a denier of evolution, it is a natural occurring phenomenon. The point is that in the case of human evolution, our evolution was tampered with. The identity of the creator beings who messed with our natural evolution is still a gray area in my research, but I can confidently assert that humans were created by something imperfect of higher intellect than ours but similar physical appearance. Every single ancient cultures assert this and even provide proof in their writings and art work.

Aliens then?

So you can see that on this subject the claims of christians and the likes are closer to the truth. Christians believe that a creator exists, even though they are wrong in terms of the being they ascribe their creation to. But Atheists believe that nothing created them. Not only is this belief wrong, it implicitly admits of the non existence of a transcendental force or intellect outside the realm of human perception or intellectually capacity.

You have not actually shown how your assertion is correct, you have already made a conclusion of Christians be right and atheists being wrong based on your own unsubstantiated stance you happen to believe is a literal truth.

You have not shown how it is different or more credible.

Wow

OpenYourEyes1:
I was an atheist too. Science fiction, Internet, my curiousity and false knowledge/science brainwashed me.
I lost the little morals I had before becoming an atheist.

Tell me how atheism fueled your loss of morality?

Blockdock90:
For many years I've been an ardent seeker of knowledge. I was once a staunch Christian and then I became a strong Atheist. After discovering more knowledge I left atheism. Now I'd describe myself as a non materialist who believes in the existence of a creator but doesn't know the nature of this creator.

From your description, it can easily be discerned that you have a reoccurring likelihood to end at the polar extreme of every part of spectrum you find yourself.

From all my research I've come to certain realizations about the world that if I'd remained an atheist or a christian, I wouldn't have known and I'll like to share them here and use them to highlight the fact that Atheists who by and large are materialists are very ignorant and have been brainwashed by "science" and new atheists like Dawkins.

Isn't it ironic that someone who has been on two ends of what can described as spectral extremes still possess such a stoic stance on his new found middle ground bordering the edge of extremism in making confident remarks such as this?

NB: I don't use the word IGNORANT as a derogatory term. I'm using it to imply that the designated have little to no knowledge about their world.

Brainwashed isn't derogatory too I'm sure.

Anyway, i look forward to reading your thoughts

LordReed:
You called something absurd and I gave it a little more context. How absurd is something that had evidence for its existence even before it was seen? Then it is actually seen.

#Sighs. Do you always reply stuffs without at least understanding it?

LordReed:
Yeah but the blackhole is material and was theorized and had evidence for its existence before it was photographed.

Read what i wrote again

Acepen:
materialism is rather limited and closed minded in some ways, I am of the belief as humans our mind are quite limited in perceiving all that exists in time and space

If you imagine the sheer absurdity of blackholes yet human mind was able to imagine this before we even had the slightest incline on it's possibility.

I also think materialism is close minded.

Ok good, now do the scientific death of the remaining hundreds of thousands victims of crucifixion

RonKenoly:
Limitless access to information; for instance you can't find any video online on anything supernatural, and we live in an age where people would do anything for the gram or popularity.

Why can't we find any video of anything supernatural online?

Has the internet contributed to your affirmation toward being an atheist?

Where they more atheist before or after the introduction of the internet?

So, somehow you believe availability of information is consonant to belief in God?

That's funny

RonKenoly:
I meant there should be less people on the internet.

Why?

jesusjnr:
Karu-site.... where my journey as a true Jesus disciple actually started.

Hmmm......

Not saying anything more.

ok

FOLYKAZE:
The topic is drawn from a very long time unravelled uncertainty bothering on Identity.

Guess I watched some movies that portrayed the question on screen. First movie is Identity, second is Triangle and the third is Predestination. These movies throws me into matrix and lose in the tunnel.

Good topic though

Can you furnish us on where you lean regarding this topic?

Is man his spirit or mind? (If you believe there is)
Or is he his body?
Or is he both?

Budaatum here you go!
