Good morning NLander's.

I have a friend who do not believe that their could be spiritual forces fighting against his life and that of his family
According to him, his family has been going through lotta difficulties over the year and the rate of stagnancy is becoming unbearable, as it seems like everything they do seems not to yield any fruit whatsoever.

Now, he gave me an instance.
His elder brother, who is smart, intelligent, and guess what? hardworking and of course a graduate. He also does not believe in such ideas about someone having anything to do with his success in life.
The said brother has been battling over the years for greener pastures and sometime he got a very sweet and nice job in a big company around. And wow! everyone was delighted, alas! the Lord has done it. Well, unfortunately, after a few months, the management wrote a withdrawal letter to most of her employees, because, another company bought them over, and of course he was one of the unlucky ones. Things became bad for them again.
He also gave me instances about his sisters too, which also sounded pathetic.

It then makes me ponder and wonder if God is really there, because if he is, I think is time for him to change their situation for good at least for the sake of their parents who I very well know are strong Christians and believers.
That said, I need an advice for him people, because am yet to him any. Thanks

Not in a thousand years......

Its just too obvious and funny

Since God is perfect, would you kill a loved one if he tells you to?

eLcastro:
no let him b sein 666...y wise once b sein 999..mis mind frame sha

frank317:
God told him to do it and that makes it right. Yet you find it difficult to answer when asked if you would kill your son if God asked you to do it.

Boko Haram believe they are killing for God, they can quote their quran to justify their action just the way you are quoting bible to justify Abrahm attempting to murder his son.

You need a whole year lecture on what morality is son.

Was it that obvious?

What Abraham did was right at the same he is running away from emulating Abraham in doing the right thing..

---

the illustration of God said then it is right is more like..

>>Killing your Siblings is wrong but if your mum tells you to do it then it is right..<<

Religion clouds people's mind in simple objectivity when it comes to moral ethics as long as it has to deal with the flaws in their moral compass, they'd defend it none the less.

the thread is a wonderful case study that i'd like it to stay afloat for more people to read and judge for themselves.

If they're all heritage... Kindly tell me the name of your village, the cultural and traditional practice of your people in today's economic and social happenings..?

No need for big english. Just provide news articles, social mobility of your community, social unrest, political parties etc...

[b]I must be a Prophet. LOL The moment he posted the replies and said you didn't reply, I concluded it must be because it betrays the ignorance of how nature works. It's quite frustrating. I will admit that it is one of my motivations for sticking to this thread. The average person who wants to be free from the shackles of these illogical myths has no need for the inner workings of the gene codes, consciousness or quantum physics. Simple logic like, how do we have identical emotional experiences yet we all invoke different causes and are adamant that the one each of us has chosen is the authentic one. It's either one of us is right and the others false, or none of us is right. We all cannot be right. They identify with the sequence of that kind of argument better.

People like Iredia attempt to muddle the pool with big words without having a grasp of the concepts they attempt to curry to their sides. It is frustrating and irritating at the same time because their stance is not to learn, but to drag issues in a cyclic manner.

Good to hear you love my work. Appreciated. You also offer one of the most comprehensive rebuttals to religious myths here. At no point do I see your stuff, especially when religious topics are pushed to the FP that I don't nod in satisfaction and admit that you know exactly what you are talking about. Kudos.

I'm in Lagos. I travel around alot too though.

NB: A couple of my friends are thinking of organising Live debates. A group of atheists in Ghana and Kenya are already doing great work in that respect. It is our intention to tow that line, logistics and ingrained intolerance permitting. I could make a case for you to be part of it if arrangements are concluded.[/b]

frank317:
He wouldn't condem Abraham because he is a follower of Yahweh. But will condem boko haram becasue they are followers of Allah.

An atheist kills in far away country... Dumb Ebuka actually think Frank or Johnny would quickly come here and justify it. And he feels he is making a point by repeating it. How foolish can anyone be?

Yet he fails to notice that no atheist on Nairaland has ever claimed to be perfect, neither have we justified evil acts. While he, a holy Christian is trying to tell us that Abraham trying to kill his son, is right just becasue Yaweh had a silly plan. The best way his God could lovely plan for the future which he knew was to ask his follower to show he loves him by attempting to kill, slaughter, his only son.

But the same Ebuka knows not what to do if Yahweh asks him to show him love by attempting to kill his own son. He does not also know what to do if Yahweh asks him to give money to the poor.

Silliness is getting to its peak in Nairaland.

ehhem bro show me how to make that Galilean telescope abeg

The fear of the devil is the beginning of wisdom

Asin eeehn The same people shout holy ghost fire up and down scaring themselves with non-existent devils and demons..

see them running like hell when they think the devil showed up them no even see holy ghost fire shout again

Religions gives you fear for imaginary enemies...

I thought these things are supposed to be seen only in kids apparently religion had made sure we continue having over grown kids in the name of adults.

its amazing what grown asss men fear in this 21st century..

this is quite funny the type of nonsense people fear

joseph1013:
LOL. If he fails to respond to your rebuttal, it's most likely because he sees that they are too juvenile for response. I can see that from the statements you have copied and pasted here.

I will be back to give you as simple an explanation as I am able to. Gotta enjoy some Friday night rhythms, you know what I mean.

QueenSalewa:
Why aren't other tribes included in this your "appeal"?

hahn:
Even though johnydon22 has centered this issue on the Yorubas and Ibos, it is indeed an issue that concerns all Nigerians and Africans as a whole

Craigston:
A science fiction theory postulates that the state of Mars resulted from an interplanetary war that had cosmic effects.
It's science fiction, of course.
The writer, Joseph Farrell, a Physicist, suggests that the Giza pyramid was an ancient experiment for an interplanetary weapon of mass destruction, and that a similar weapon was being developed by Mars' inhabitants at the time: a kind of arms race. Eventually, the weapon on Earth was armed and deployed, and our near cousins on Mars suffered the effect more terribly.
You can find the book "The Giza Death Star Deployed" by Joseph Farrell.
It seems this link will work:

Cute theory for fiction.

sukkot:
you do know in october 2014 there was a HUGE collision by comet siding spring C / 2013 A1 with mars. very huge collision. it fried some of NASA roving equipment on mars. point being thats a very good guess cuz mars is always getting hard collisions.

Mailthaddeus:
Show me pls

ben1daEbiri:
That's why i think sometime later [a few years or more]we would see liquid water from half or more of these bodies you mentioned...I love your work,please DON'T stop!...jeez,i just discovered i wasn't following you,I'll do that ASAP!!!

ben1daEbiri:
Don't you think it has something to do with density and gravity,since liquid water is denser than ice,thereby making it the only possible way to retain them because most of the bodies might not just have enough gravity to hold them in a liquid,if you ask me,I would say some or most of these bodies which have ice water must have had liquid water earlier or liquid water later at the right temperatures!

Ahmed3rdjuly:
You are seeing water and am seeing scars from asteroids in almost all the planetary bodies
May God help us

Rilwayne001:
^ You are right on point.

LoJ:
Nice thread. Hey Johnydon22, you never gave me feedback on the telescope issue.

Gluthatione:
I think our mods are sleeping on this post should be in front page by now.

Lets call our bosses lalasticlala, Mynd44 and UjSizzle to help out with that

Johnydon22 : Will you go for the football game this afternoon between Comp Sci and Mech Eng ?

Me : I dont know

Johydon22 : You are not going because you dont want to see your team get beaten . Hahaha ... we are getting there

Me :

lmao ... I love this!!! Let's keep the thread afloat for more people to read.

So you are telling me you don't want to follow the good examples of Abraham??

KingEbukasBlog:
Roftlmao ... what progress . I said : " I don't know" . The same way you deny the existence of God but when asked how life came into existence you say you dont know . Have you forgotten ?

These niggas are learners . Someone needs to shove their puerility in their face in order for them to realize what's up

Hahahahaha there is a difference asking me questions on my OWN actions, how can i deny not knowing my own actions how the world came to be is not an action of Johnydon..

But when i am asked if i would eat apple or banana? i freaking know what my choice will be..

I still maintain, i love the way you danced from Denying the question to "i don't know"... we are getting there

Antiparticle:
@dalaman you try o! I have reached the conclusion that it is almost impossible to have a rational debate with theists (particularly Christians and Muslims). It feels like a lost cause. The willful and stubborn irrationality is shocking.

The few theists who are most likely to think critically and reason with your objections are the ones who would end up becoming atheist/deist even if you didn't have this conversation with them.

I can't believe that I was once a brainwashed theist. Thankfully I was logical enough to rid myself of religion once I started learning about the history of Christianity and more. Unfortunately most Christians just swallow hook line and sinker whatever they read in the Bible, without questioning its historical credibility.

Faith is self-refuting. Faith is a logical fallacy. Faith-based religion dulls critical thinking!

Unfortunately, Nigeria is largely a society where most university graduates can't think critically. As such, I am not too surprised at the folly you have experienced on this thread.
