[b]People with Gods and religions always live with fear and guilt of what the religions says they should do, they tend to subject themselves to such psychological prison that they end up not living the way they really wanted. Anyway you and your girl friend really have some serious issues. - (1)She broke up with you to get back to her ex then came back to you after she must broke up with her ex, speaks tons of the kind of girl she is. -(2) You felt guilty over romance, i wonder why cus i really didn't see where you mentioned chopping off anybody's head in the process. - (3)You don't love her just wants sex at the same afraid to do it.. You have a bit of a problem up stairs because Since you don't love her but LIE to convince her you do in order to get sex of which you can't even do says a lot of your hypocritical moral basis. LYING the last i checked is as much a sin as SEX in christiandom, how come you feel guilt and fear over sex but not over lying? Or you choose which sin to feel guilty over? I think you need to re-evaluate your moral ground, Since you don't love her and still cant have sex simply tell her and save her the stress. Stop raising childish issues where there is none.. [/b] |
I like the fact that your religion proposes a physical version of Jesus and his father and adds a mother to the picture (Makes more sense than father and son with no mother) So since this version of God is physical please Op do you mind providing us a family portrait of the Godly family.. And i heard God lives on a planet somewhere, can you give us the name of this planet and a science journal (astronomical) that has observed such planet. |
UyiIredia: Yeah thats why you think claims of vision of your own version of heaven is the correct one others are mere false claims. This actually speaks tons on the emotionality of religious beliefs . . . You dismiss others as false in order to maintain yours as true... |
abduljabbar4: As a matter of fact the onus remains on the claimant not the one who doubts the claim.. I might claim to believe or even assert i have a flying blue diamond dog tied to the back of my door now.. You only have to disbelieve me not produce proof that i don't, Because honestly you can''t provide proof that i don't have the flying diamond dog. The weight and responsibility is on me who is claiming to own such a dog to provide proof of it, if i can't then it remains an unfounded claim and so tantamount to nothing in actuality.. So its all about belief. Exactly the point and it is also ok to point out to you that BELIEF doesn't make anything true anymore than not believing it makes it a lie. That i believe there is a white tea pot filled with hot coffee orbiting Neptune right now doesn't make it true. Since you dont believe in His existence, its ur own cup of tea na. I see no reason for this argument. The christians think they are always right thats why you frequently end up arguing with christians alone I have always noticed muslims to be quite reserved about engaging atheists on this board, they don't open threads to bash atheists or dabble into threads that takes an atheistic tilt but christians always does that at the end of the day end up crying that they are victims of atheistic attacks. Like Malvisguy who took this thread as an attack on his religion when the thread never mentioned any religion or specific God concept as a basis of point |
abduljabbar4: Oh so did Nostradamus and the bible too.. these events said to be prophesized have all being happening even before your prophets.. You are just linking events to mean prophecy of your prophet to instigate correctness.. Thats another claim. Let me make my own prophecy now.: " Soon a great ram will fight another ram and the world will hear about it" Sometime two countries will fight, then surely my prophecy of two great rams fighting must be said to have come to pass.. Both the christians and the op are only wasting their time. [size=20]None of you can provide a clear evidence of whether God exists or not. Its all about belief[/size] Oh the enlarged is so so true and is a very good one at that. . . there are many things we cannot provide proof for or against their existentiality and i see no reason why we should assume since we don't know.. You cannot prove if a flying diamond horned Cow exists or if there is a house of clear cut diamond somewhere, neither can you disprove there is.. I absolutely see no reason why you should then assume there is... But if you ever assert there is then you must be ready to provide empirical substantiation for your claim |
KingEbukasBlog:I don't think any of them would say otherwise because they all know science has nothing to do with someone being atheistic. . I have always been saying this. That mistake comes mostly from Theists who mistake atheism to mean scientism which is untrue.. Atheism simply is disbelief in Gods ... Many of them just tend to rely on science and consistent logic and skepticism to make sense of the world. This is why theists always assume anybody who is an atheist is an evolutionist forgetting there are many people who are not atheists (christians, muslims etc)but yet are evolutionists... |
UyiIredia: And nobody ever told your dad about Jesus before? ...funny... He isn't the only one. Joseph wanted to put away Mary and he had a dream urging him otherwise.Oh the Joseph fable, i take it you will do same when an angel appears to you and tell you your fiancée got pregnant by God.. Yeah you so will believe that, still more believe how the writer of the gospel get to know so well what Joseph dreamt about. You see employing these beliefs of your religion as a basis is more like backing up your claims with more claims.. Muslims and atheists experience NDE's where they see Jesus and heaven. Why ignore that? The vast differences in people's NDE experience shows that God transcends the boxes of various religions, it's only a mind trapped in a that will insist it means it's all hogwash. Same goes to Christians having experiences and seeing muslim Allah instead http://dailycurrant.com/2014/05/05/christian-boy-dies-for-3-minutes-meets-allah-in-heaven/ Or claim they saw a female God instead http://pulse.ng/religion/in-america-catholic-priest-dies-for-48-mins-wakes-up-claiming-god-is-a-woman-id3503570.html Or some claim there saw hundred versions of heaven, some claim to have visited ancestral lands.. these claims is as feeble as it is childish and in no way adds any weight to the claims of such things in fact it debunks it. It has shown not to be anymore than illusionary projection that coincides to the fears or psychological add ups of the individual involved.. No probe about my Dad I expect to see him again. Such profound hope is touching. . . I begin to wish so too.. i really do.. |
KingEbukasBlog:Yes very true, many atheists are superstitious as well as many theists are not. You people tend to mistake atheism to mean scientific inclined individual or there about but this isn't so.. Atheist simply means one doesn't believe in personal Gods... What thing that person believes or disbelieves has no relation to that.. because many atheists tend to lean on the side of employing scientific explanations doesn't mean all of them does. Though these might be relatively few in relation to those who don't because some just tend to employ scientific skepticism on such premises as well. I think we have one of such atheists here.. folkaze something like that.. he is an atheists but believes in Ogun charm spirit stuffs.. |
Through out antiquity religions have always predicted the end of the world, from the ancient egyptian religions that have fallen into man's myths and legends to the present religions whose doctrines strives in the world today. Religions looks forward to the destruction of the world, mostly ignorant that most of it's supported arguments is not entirely persuasive. Perhaps always uneasy about it's accumulation of temperal power, wealth and right, religion has never ceased to predict the apocalypse and day of world destruction. which in turn has never ceased to keep failing.. |
If it is true that they violated the state residential plan and was not an approved structure then the government was right to pull it down. It is time Nigerians start adhering to the stipulated laws of the state in their activities and not be crying foul that the country is not good when they are the ones doing it and making the cities look unplanned by encroaching into governmental space when building. That it is a church building doesn't exempt it from being demolished once it goes against the guide or violated the state laws. Nobody is exempted or should be accorded special treatment in the government ... |
KingEbukasBlog: First evolution is a Scientific theory.. and cannot explain why we evolved certain features instead it is seen or described as an 'evolutionary need' - evolution-of-the-gaps also known as "evolution did it ". Should we call them ignorant too ? I have read the evolutionary mechanism and find it to be quite drastically different from what both you and most atheists on this board make it out to be. Many have taken evolutionary theory as an immutable dogma that must be believed in the explanation of human development and therefore tend to lean towards evolution as a form of belief instead of a scientific enquiry... Please I need an honest "yes" or "no" answer and then your reason . Thanks bro On the part of many on this board "Yes" it is used as another dogma to replace religious dogmas and distanced from what it actually is which is Subject of scientific enquiry.. |
KingEbukasBlog: Here we go. . . Deism asserts a God who is not interested in human affairs and therefore rejects theistic claims of miracles and so on.. Jehovah witnesses do not share your idea of Life after death, they are very much theistic, your own confusion stems from quantifying Theism with belief in your own stipulated supernatural events .. That is not theism it is deism . An atheist can never believe in entities such as ghosts , demons because they associated with the supernatural . And their existence cannot be explained naturally.Still banking on such naive mindset. . . Atheism has nothing to do with belief in ghosts and other spirity mumbo jumbo.... what makes one atheistic is "Disbelief in Gods" Buddhism in no way asserts a creator God but yet has the concept of spirits and other ghost mumbo jumbo..... does this make buddhism theism? There are many theists, in fact Christians who don't think ghosts are real. . . You only have that mindset because you think there is. Your belief in ghosts is not in any way a determining factor of theism. learn that.. Belief in spirits is independent of belief in Gods.. Please stop writing stuff boldly in a forum like this . UyiIredia is not naive , you are the one who is . And the fact it was boldly written makes it more embarrassing . So far i think it is clear the one who thinks theism must include belief in ghost is the naive one.. the thread is quite open. Am sure we have theistic individuals who don't think ghosts are real that will read this.. I suggest you take your advice.. And 3 'likes' and 5 'shares' show desperate the typical gullible naive atheist on Nairaland is . They are ready to support your comment as far as its against the view of the religious I believe you have issues with people liking comments that negates your views, if it gets to you that much you can beg them to stop... You have been crying about it since you entered here, never knew some are disturbed over it.. Complaining about it won't help you.. |
[b] ^^^^ You see the insecurity of most Christians? My post in no way mentions the Christian faith or any religion in particular and but the idea of theism and the "Argumentum ad ignorantum" fallacy. But somehow this guy above makes it about Christianity even when it not in the slightest is about it... That you imagined i was addressing your religion is your own cup of tea and remains figments of your imagination. This reveals your own insecurity in your own faith because you assuming i was addressing Christianity is not only idiotic but outrightly wrong.. I have always told you the reason why you rarely make sense is that you don't read, you just assume and rush to comment... Now that you have totally laid a comment that is totally different from the Op and have associated the Op with your religion one wouldn't help just seeing yow daft someone can get.. Now read the post again, understand it and modify... Please people did i address my post on any religion or God? [/b] |
kingkaspa: ichommy: He should be ignored because giving such persons attention only fuels his idiocy... I suggest we ignore what any daft write up he brings up that is not in relation to the Op.. |
HCpaul: Sometimes i really wish you read what you write, someone who sounds as daft and dumb as you should be seeking help from psychiatric homes.. #Sighs. . . Just take a look at the effect of religion on minds of our youths.. |
Let me assume there is an anthropomorphical creator of this universe somewhere and that creator is interested in human affairs. If you think the creator of the vast universe is interested in these magnificent edifices summing up to billions while this [img]http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR6YGavZ1wSA3G26C_vlVCaPZzp4sF9gvtt6B4BvDSfKqgBGgRPzEt92Tw[/img] happens all over the planet.. Then you must be fvcking out out your God damn mind... |

I don't recall it ever being biblical for you to wear jeans, eat indomie, use a phone or log into nairaland. why then are you doing those? When one relies on the construct of another to tell them how to live their own lives they will end up living for another and on another's idea and so finally having never lived as they want. Ancient primitive books should not be responsible for telling people how to live their lives talk more of modern humans, how can you hope to reconcile this modern society with an ancient one with different cultural background.. these type of religious chauvinism and "Is it in the bible/ Quran syndrome" can only diminish your ability to live your life and bolt you in a psychological prison and nonsensical restriction of another's making and idea... This is becoming disturbing.. |
[b] I have many times discussed with theistic people both religious and irreligious and many times have been about the existence of God or Gods. One thing is very clear, all the arguments i have seen from the believers side is always banked on "IGNORANCE of men" This line of argument not only is it shallow has also betrayed a sort of incuriosity in ascertaining empirically the actuality of these events of phenomenas man has not yet known or explained. You see something like. - How was the world created? Since you can't explain it then God did it.. - What brought the universe into existence, since you don't know how that happened then God did it. - Can you explain the emergence of life, since you don't know then God did it. -Do you know how the pyramids of Egypt where built, No Gods did it. This above sums up the totality of it all. . ."I don't know how this happened then God did it" This line of thought is as dangerous to the curiosity of man as every other thing and it can be a detriment to development of human knowledge in determining how these things happened. It is a relic of a primitive mindset, a noble but yet i find to be a childish attempt in explaining what is... The ancient men way of explaining a large world they don't even understand yet.. That is where many phenomenas and events where attributed to Gods that are not any more than the personification of the actual reacting elements responsible for these and this has eaten deep into the psychology of humans and sadly through indoctrination has eaten deep into that of 21st century humans an era marked with outstanding scientific enquiry and achievements. You get things like. How did this world came to be, the ancients provided answers. . ( Mind you these men knew nothing more than what they can see on earth, they had no idea what the milky way galaxy is talk more of knowing there are others) Their answers were Gods did it. To the Egyptians it was ATUM and others deities that did as recorded in the egyptian book of pyramids (one of the very first religious texts known to man) In babylonian mythology it was Apsu and Tiamat as recorded in Enuma elis In Canaanite mythology the God el did In jewish myth Yahweh did. And so spans to more than 2,900 different versions of creation story found in different cultures and religion in antiquity. These people were trying to explain the emergence of the world they live in... These stories imbedded in the different cultural decorums of the people where they are found. The problem with this is that it does not answer the question it only postpones it and stops a mind from striving to know through consistent study and empirical observation how it actually happened. Because since you think you know, how can you still know that which you already know? Modern science would dub planetary formations the action of Gravity on matter (Star debris) ... That we do not know how something did or not have an explanation YET is not a ground for unfounded assumptions dogmatized as a universal truth and worse of all needs to be believed by FAITH. Long ago we used to think Lightening was because Amadioha got angry, now we know better and nobody is arguing amadioha does that anymore. That we didn't know how lightening came to be does not mean amadioha must be real to explain how lightening came to be... It means we don't know and that is that. That we don't know how the universe came to be means we don't not that Gods did it, It simply means we don't For every claim empirical substantiation is required therefore if one asserts to know how the universe came to be one must be ready to back up their claim empirically by producing methods of deduction. But no, just ask someone how they got to deduct that fact and you hear "My holy book says so then i believe it with faith" The idea of "Gods did it" have been one that always feeds on the ignorance of men.... Many people who are familiar with the scientific explanation of planetary formations no longer claim Gods did it but they will have to shift that claim to a premise man have no established knowledge of yet. So who created the universe? The things that we know and have explanations for, nobody claims God or Gods are responsible for them .. But when we have no explanation for something YET then automatically it becomes evidence for God did it. Ignorance as regard an event or phenomenon is not evidence for Gods or God but it is only evidence of Ignorance. That one do not know or explain yet through empirical deductions the emergence of the universe doesn't mean a God did it, it means we don't know yet. Let us not use our ignorance as a butter to eat unfounded assumptions.... Many in this dogmatic tilt of belief has tend to chastise science and in such mind make science out to be a belief system. Science in no way has ever hoped on establishing immutable dogmas or postulations that must be believed, science is study through systematic deduction in order to reach a truthful approximation at the same time recognize chances of being wrong and in no way ever asserts absolute truth has been achieved. What man cannot explain now does not require God to fill that gap, it means we do not have the explanation yet and so we should strive to know and not assume up answers. In such sheepish line of argument one would in a desperate attempt would label the burden of proof on the one who doubts such claims. e.g: You hear questions like " Can you prove a creator God didn't do it?" For crying out loud i can't also prove it wasn't an invisible pen that did it... How can one disprove that which you the claimant has not proven, that is like disproving nothing.. Let me hope we don't fill our heads with dogmas of knowing and kill our ability to know what really is... The claims of "God did it" being a relic of a primitive past, i find it to be noble but yet a childish attempt and a gap filler in the face of a premise where we lack knowledge. We shouldn't be ashamed to agree we don't know there is no shame in it, the only problem arises when assumptions and irrational assertions and attendant behaviours fills the gap left by our ignorance... The "God did it" will always rely on the ignorance of man for basis [/b] |
UyiIredia: You see? all your own argument revolves around your own beliefs, others also lay out claims that goes in coincide to their own beliefs.. A muslim would see allah, even a Hellenistic believer would see Zeus and Igbo traditionalists claim to have been to the land of the ancestors and back... these are always in relation to the person's psychological tilt.. BTW don't rule out experiences of re afterlife through dreams and visions. Jesus showed heaven to my father in a dream, he didn't die, though he's late now. I am to start taking your dad's dream serious now? Many people also have dreams about their own version of afterlife... Brain also is responsible for dreams.. Am Sorry about your dad... Also the brain is one of the first organs to die not the last, Google it to confirm.You see why i warned against confident naive assertions, the brain fails when it lacks sufficient oxygen in a body. Brain death takes minutes and is different from brain failure. . |
frank317: You see in a desperate attempt to lay claims to some unfounded beliefs people tend to assume up more absurdities to feed such delusion. A woman died and someone has a spirit that also has eyes, nose, brain, mouth, stomach, spinal cord, buttocks, pusssssy, legs and even internal organs and blood.. And someone is proud of bringing this out in public?... Shhhessssh...!!! Wears clothes but doesn't have a phone and there was no spirit car but there were spirit clothes.. This is absurd... Humongous effects of Nollywood and hollywood movies |
UyiIredia: You are just so cutely naive about things that i wonder why you should lay out naive confident assertions, in your tiny mind atheists means you don't believe in spirity stuffs. Well for your information atheism simply means One who do not believe in Gods. There are dozens of atheists who believe in Spirits, Voodoo, demons, even afterlife and reincarnation. these are personal beliefs and has nothing to do with one being atheistic or theistic, there are theists who don't believe in those it doesn't make them any less theistic any more than believing them makes one any less atheistic. Let me hope you won't still put ATHEISTS as a label for those who don't believe in spirity stuff because it sells you off to be quite naive about it all. |
Remilekun101:Wow... So clothes too also have spirits. . . And the cloth she wore transcended into a spirit cloth plus her style of hair too but somehow her phone didn't right? A eyes yes, mouth yesgood now these attributes of organs suggest then she must have internal organs, she must have a brain, she must have nervous systems, spinal cord and even blood too.. Since she possess all this do i really need to say more how outrightly ridiculous this claim is? I didn't mention a spirit. Man is three in one. Spirit soul and body Ok she was a spirit soul? |
Remilekun101: Now i am gonna take this ON with questions, i don't want to dismiss this story like many would already have... will use it to show the outright absurdities of such claims. Now tell me when you saw her.(the spirit) -She was wearing her clothe? - She had eyes and other body organs? - She was crying with tears? -And she could talk... Pray tell... |
dalaman: Many lay out claims to deceive and make money out of people's gullibility. . Like the small boy that wrote he saw jesus later came out years later to say it was false.. |
Remilekun101: Ok you learnt from books, articles and personal experiences. . . Ok we are still waiting for an arguement for that ... |
UyiIredia:[b] Lmao... Near death experiences is your best shot at it? . . Pretty cheap.. We have so many of such accounts with different versions of the tale coming from different individuals with different beliefs. -Near death experiences is mostly on patients with heart attack.. -Clinical death is not actual death, every organ in the body can stop working and resume afterwards. -The brain being the box of human perception, memory and neurosensitive abilities is the box of human illusionary projection doesn't die with any part of the body, the brain remains the last part of the body to die. Yeah we have heard near death patients and we have different versions of what they saw mostly being in coincide with their different beliefs. One even saw that God was female, other saw Muslim God and heaven while some saw Jesus and it goes to different versions of religious afterlife ideas in relation to each individual's psychology.. Many have also claimed to have reincanated Try again.. [/b] |
lol.. |
KingEbukasBlog: Same you said there is, you are not dead and somehow you know that there is...You are not even sure where to clutch on exactly... |
KingEbukasBlog: Really but you are not dead, how come you know this? Same thing you say someone needs to die first before experiencing you that is alive still in the same breathe assert to know.. Hhmmm common intellectual dishonesty have never gone lower.. |
Anas09: Its seriously boring me out . . . . I was hoping for some serious argument on the proposing side here.. Anyway please people this floor is now open for anybody who wants to argue on the side of life after death!!! |
Remilekun101:Ok just like a board of alphabets with a pointer... thats great... So in your mind then they were the one moving it...lol... great.. Can you show us the board you used? The floor is still open for you to back up your claim of an afterlife...am sure everyone is really eagerly waiting for a strong argument to support it... |
