Teempakguy: Muhammed was a complete Pervert.. he was a chronic pedophile .. He married a child of 6 and consummated the marriage at the age of 9 . . He was a complete lunatic pervert.. He even claimed to have rode a flying horse and split the moon like WTF ![]() And people with brains actually believe this shiit just like some believe someone was strolling on a body of water.. Anyway Muhammed was actually a despicable human in respect to his pedophilia actions.. But i don't really interfere on a thread like this where people be dragging who got the better imaginary friend.. I just let them do that in peace .. |
philfearon: Iseeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! eziokwu ka ikwuru odogwu... |
Richirich713: Honestly brother you need to gather your wits you don't even know what exactly your argument is based on.. I only replied you when you said you can see the entire table and i have shown you that contrary to that you cannot see the entire table but just part of (Just like we can't see the whole universe as you proposed) instead of simply accepting you cannot see the entire table just like i have taught you now, you jumped into another thing all together.. So please stop the childish show of clutching on unrelated premises. . . i am trying hard to maintain this as a friendly discussion and not an argument because an arguement only breeds resentment and hostility... and if i pull it out as an argument ...... Anyway do you now agree with me you can't see the entire table contrary to what you said that you can? Between i am still waiting for you to prove there is no Cup on that table. . .looks like you are avoiding that...? |
Richirich713: Hahahahaha No sir we can't see the entire table... we are only seeing part of the table visible to us .. You are not seeing the back of the table, under the table, behind the legs or the other side of it... Check again to see you cannot see the entire table but only part of it.. [img]http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTtH2SNuQ39SI2MeuW7GP3DOaxzJwA-j64O7brX-tt9e8puj6cATPpCEPE[/img] I am taking it very gently to make this discussion enjoyable to both you and everyone reading.. |
Bro this is quite wrong...let me show you Richirich713:No sir actually science proposes a much much old age for the earth.. 4.5billion years old... only creationism proposes much younger age some of which is 6thousand years. 2nd Hawking is the main drive behind the big bang and he said the world came from nothing not me. It was his own words, not ur words u want in his mouth. My good sir Msngr Georges Lamitre propounded the Big Bang theory and he is a catholic priest.. and his assertion was supported when the hubble telescope went into orbit and observed the universe was actually expanding like Lamitre proposed.. 3Rd if the earth never had those things I wonder where those things came from, get it yet?It came from the result of natural interactions.. e.g this sand dune is actually so finely done that you would argue it was done by an intelligent being .. https://s.hswstatic.com/gif/sand-dune-1.jpg But no sir it was done by action of wind on dust... so the beauty or precision in earth does not really suggest design but only shows diversity of natural interactions. . i wonder if Tsunamis are design too.. lol.. Again therefore there must be a creator who was eternal and intelligent not black hole manbo jumbo who with no intelligence creates the entire world intelligently. The results we have now only shows results of which you might perceive or recognize beauty in is as a result of natural interactions of elements resulting from another... But we should not still be quick to discard your design theory we should simply keep an open mind to what we can learn through study by first agreeing we don't know .. |
Richirich713: And i am telling you that this has nothing to with a God... for "God" sake it just an analogy.. don't get defensive my good friend.. The cup and table represent a cup and a table not a God... are you not seeing the picture my good sir.. Is there a red cup on that table or not..... [img]http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTtH2SNuQ39SI2MeuW7GP3DOaxzJwA-j64O7brX-tt9e8puj6cATPpCEPE[/img] One could guess the answer to this should be obvious but bro you are not tendering one at all.. |
Richirich713:lmao brother you are really becoming a bit hostile.. I want to illustrate for you the fully position of empirical substantiation, proof, belief and unbelief in relation to a claim.. I have no intent making it about the existence of a God so don't get defensive unnecessarily.. we all seeing the table.. so just a little attempt... it won't hurt i promise.. |
Richirich713: No sir leave the existence of God out of this... i am only concerned with the cup.. I am not saying there is no God in fact you won't hear me say that here... so nothing concerns my cup analogy with whether God exists or not.. I only want to show you fully the full picture of every position ... |
Richirich713: Lmao actually it does depict the premise of the argument in every sense .. and i was hoping you would be at least honest enough to tender an answer so i can fully paint for you the picture of the whole setting.. You asked Teempakguy to prove a God doesn't exist.. why not attempt it surely my brother a table is clearly shown in that picture... |
hahn:lol.. I am still waiting for my friend to prove to me there is no cup on that table....I this will end this argument once and for all... |
Richirich713: The existence of any deity is unknown now either in principle or fact... this means nobody really know the actuality of the claim because it is just a claim until proven otherwise so i agree with you here that nobody knows if a God (any deity at all) exists or not ..(position of agnosticism) .. No they just belief there's no God..You keep putting atheists into one bag, No atheist do not believe there is no God (Only a gnostic atheist exhibits such tendency) rather in the real sense, in the absence of tangible empirical substantiation, proof and the sheer implausibility of the claims abound an atheist simply disbelieves the claim (This is a position an agnostic atheist like myself..) |
Richirich713: One mistake you keep making here is mistaking atheism to mean scientism .. No there is no relation between atheism and science, science is not atheism in fact science has nothing to do with atheism. Science simply means study and is not a tool of either atheism or theism... E.G this big bang theory was first propounded by a theist in fact not just an ordinary theist but a catholic priest Georges Lamitre so please do not mistake atheism for scientism. Many people are atheists but they don't even know what science is neither do they know anything about it. Some atheist do not agree with scientific theories. there are even many atheists who believe things like witches etc.. Some atheists as well as a good number of theists agree with scientific theories like the big bang and so forth.. Someone who is an atheist simply means someone who don't have belief in personal Gods .. |
Richirich713: In a postulation of a claim without empirical substantiation only the claim needs to be proven and the onus is on the claimant because how exactly can you disprove that which has not been proven to be in the first place. . . That is tantamount to nothing.. Let me demonstrate.. https://pennstateelmscollection.com/images/squarecoffeetable.png You see this picture of a table here, I believe, i have faith that there is a red cup on it now prove to me that there is no cup on top of it.. . |
Teempakguy: touche!!! nice one |
Teempakguy: Hahahahahaha alright now this has been clarified and shown not to be the belief system i presumed. Anyway you cannot bring atheists under one banner because surely enough not all of them share that ideology with you, so that ideology cannot be infused with the position of atheism. these ideas you listed out are subjective to individuals and frankly enough there are theists who share that line of reason with you.. An atheistic position is not a belief, our principles are not a faith. Atheists do not sorely rely on science and reason because these are necessities rather then sufficient factors. But rather we distrust anything that contradicts science and outrages reason... |
finofaya:[b] Nigerian education system really failed us, just take a look at a sane individual identifying a planetary core as his mythical hell... **These are the dangerous effects of religions because it retards the youths.. The core of a terrestrial planet are as a result of planetary formations. During planetary formations extremely hot debris of a starry remnant comes under the pull of gravity and clusters together as a hot spinning body this continues until the body solidifies and cools leaving a molten core but a solidified surface. These cores are found in every terrestrial planets and even moons... It is the source of earth's and other planet's internal heat generation.. Mars, venus, mercury, earth, our moon, ganymede, europa and many extra terrestrial bodies all have molten cores.. Now according to our brother here all these are the HELLS around. . . The more people bring out these nonsensical irrational assertions in defence of some absurd primitive belief the more i get convinced that it most times take outright simpleton to maintain a belief.. The Op was excited to pour out these lay out so as to heap his claims without even trying to research and know exactly what planetary cores are to avoid disgrace in public forums. .. .. Just take a look at this.. It has been shown clearly that belief/religion is a canoe paddled by ignorance and incuriosity.. Take away the incuriosity and knowledge from people you will only have incurious and sadly ignorant people then you can control them. But once curiosity drives an individual and he takes back the knowledge he needs, such authorities loses their hold on such minds. I am beginning to see a close relationship between belief and insanity.. [/b] |
Teempakguy: Uuuhm what belief system exactly |
stevecantrell:[b] Being atheistic does not guarantee moral sanity in any way ... Some people lack independent moral basis so bad that they need to clutch on some abstract concepts to be kept in check.. I have discussed extensively on this forum to know that 80% of theists here think they cannot be good without the idea of a torture prone God. Such mindset terrifies me because if such people turn atheistic nobody need imagine what they would turn to. Without the idea of an angry God such people might be serial killers turning the society upside down and on many of these encounters i have openly told them since belief in a God is needed to keep them in check and cub their dangerous tendencies, i am 100% in full support they maintain such beliefs. It only takes one who understand that we are humans in a human society and therefore must live like humans towards each other knows that HUMANITY itself is the basis of human societal morality.. Too bad many has been taught that only through fear and threat can they be coerced to submit to the moral expectations of the society mostly infused with the dogmas and doctrines of the religion in effect. For such minds that think that way; I can do nothing but discuss with them and pity them sometimes for being bolted in a psychological prison they don't even know.. [/b] |
stevecantrell: Having a belief in Gods or religion is not a determinant to human behaviour. . Humans are social beings and so their interactions with each other is necessary for human behaviour and societal norms.. Being empathic towards others, having a compassionate mind for others are necessary fundamental basis for human goodness.. Between what i find to be moral/good is your behaviour towards humans and other life forms on earth.. If you still believe in doing unto others what you would want done to you, then fine !Personal standards and societal norms are subjective. I make my own standards and i alone enforce it which is striving to live ethical life of personal fulfillment and aspiring for the greater good of humanity... What isn't fine is if you dump religion and become a despicable, self-absorbed, self-involved and grandiose person in the process. Nobody needs religion or belief in Gods to be moral, if one cannot determine the difference between right or wrong in relation to societal interactions then they lack empathy not religion. A quick look at the Nigeria society, both north and south filled to the brim with deeply religious individuals more than 97% but hosts a disturbing amount of moral decay, greed, violence and savagery (Many of which is in the name of religions like Islamic sharia up north or jungle justice down south) affirms that religion is not and can never be a determinant of human behaviour.. |
Shollyps: …Hhmmm this is curious. . what happened during your stay at home that incited the sudden change ? |
haffaze777: Yes sir. . . In Igbo land the kola is not exempted from anybody.. |

thorpido: Proud one as a matter of fact. . I do not only disbelieve the idea of personal GODS i find the Abrahamic religion concept a very childish one.. So now a Hindu thinks they have the right God and yours is wrong, Is it right for a Hindu to term you atheist? |
This is correct not only applicable to Christianity but also Islam and other religions. There is also this hostile tendency people have when they know someone doesn't believe in their idea of personal Gods. There is also this fear of rejection, fear of torture and in extreme occasions death from others in the society entertained by someone who rejects or disbelieves the concept of personal Gods in this religiously/superstitiously saturated society Many people are caught between the bridge of these steps you listed out. its a lonely, long, scary, hard and sometimes heavy step because everything you have been indoctrinated to believe crumbles before the rumbling quake of your own reason in relation to reality. On many occasions i had helped many through their journey of self realization and independent reason.. Like i always say "The emergence of reason is a long, slow, steady and most times lonely one but the result is worth it.. |
menesheh: Iseee!!!!!!!! Ka isi go ka oga ere odogwu... |
hahn: In Igbo culture hospitality to strangers is a societal norm .. And number ceremony used in welcoming someone is by presenting kola.. "Elu ta oji, ala ta oji" means "Up should eat kola and down should eat kola" meaning it is open to everybody... "Nno" meaning "welcome" So Nno!!! |
hahn: My footsteps is when a post becomes too daft and idiotic leave it. . . The people reading it will need something to laugh over so let them see the post and slap their face at just how dumb a human can get ... |
thorpido: Lmao you don't even know the person you were discussing with now i think you think i am the guy you were discussing with.. I believe i am well known here on my stance on personal Gods. . So my question stems from you dubbing others who don't share your own concept of a God as atheist... Stop going round and attend to my question.. Since according to you, you have the right God and a hindu is wrong therefore to you a hindu is an atheist. According to a hindu he has the right God and yours is wrong, are you also an atheist from the perspective of a Hindu?.. Evidently enough you have no idea what theism and atheism means... |
hahn: Hahahahahaha i wouldn't like being that guy now, he just doesn't understand how daft he is showing himself out to be here.. ridiculing himself ... I suggest you reply only a post worth a . reply |
hahn:[b] The feeble attempt is very glaring in this thread and it has been shown that every theistic argument stems from Ignorance.. Argumentum ad ignorantum. I don't know how anything started therefore a deity must have done it.. Such arrogance in the face of ignorance is not only demeaning but dangerous to the development of our knowledge.. Is it not more noble and humbling to accept where we lack knowledge and then by accepting this lack of knowledge we create rooms for enquiry, experimentation, scrutiny and study of things that are in order to reach a truthful approximation of how things really are. But no people sheepishly pull in a gap filler that kills our curiosity to know how it actually happened.. There is no shame in not knowing, the problem arises when irrational thoughts and attendant behaviour fills the vacuum left by ignorance.. You cannot fill a cup that is full already and worst of all filled with the wrong content.. Why not simply say i don't know so that you will be open to learning exactly how things are empirically as study reveals it.. [/b] |
thorpido: That is still the point here. . You thinks yours is the right one and others are wrong so you tag others atheists. Others also think you are wrong and theirs is the right one so they should dub you an atheist then.. So you are an atheist? |
hahn: Please my brothers/sister i have brought Igbo kola... https://igboclass.umunagbor.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ojiigbo-1024x753.jpg Kola is one of the most important part of Igbo culture. . . Please one person should make the kola supplications . . . Menesheh, Philfearon, SonOfLucifer . . . Kola has come |
