I do agree with you. And perhaps I should have clarified that the void would be as a result of the absence of a religion a former adherent would have been used to, and lets face it, most people turning to atheism would be turning their backs on one religion or the other. The context of my usage of the term with respect to the OP was quite clear.

Yeap thats why i said i understand you

hahaha. Johnnydon22, I refuse to be drawn into this argument with you cos we'll just go round and round without reaching any agreement in opinion or belief. It will be an endless debate without conclusion.

Yes bro, thats ok. . . I just don't concur to the idea of punishing a finite sin with an infinite punishment. . it doesn't imply justice at all and basically is evil in a plain sense disregarding beliefs. . . Anyway bro lets just fashi these things shaa. .

I used to believe that we are much more advanced scientifically now in terms of methods and ideas now, the scientists back then would have been pretty good then... and i am Engineer...

Of course the science then are way more advanced than we think or make them out to be but just more crude than ours, we just developed more on what they know. .

E.g: The wheel, they invented the wheel for carts and chariots, we still use wheels today, tyres...

telescope, we also still use telescopes today of which one of the most remarkable the Hubble telescope .

so you see, its basically the same thing. . The scientific concept is the same just the portrayal differs

I have a theory of the concept behind the hanging gardens.

Well, after studying the pictures of the gardens, I find nothing impossible about them.
What if instead of the elaborate engineering you guys are suggesting, what if they simply employed human labour? As in, lots of servants to water the gardens? That seems like a simple solution.

Do you mind getting us the picture impression of the hanging gardens?

You read the whole thing well. It may not have happened in Nigeria but what is the solution to all these? I know it happens here because I have first hand information on similar occurrences. Why do pastors do it? Why are ladies so easily deceived? What is the solution to all these?

Do we treat it as a case of consenting adults?

Exactly, and this be so. i don't think you have any business with what two consenting adults decides to do in the privacy of their own room

I never opined that. If he or his members (the ladies he sleeps with) continue in this path and dies in their sins, they will have condemned themselves to hell, the pastor being the reason the members are there. That is what I meant by my post.

and exactly what i replied. . . why do your assert he deserves to burn in hell forever simply because he is having sex with someone who also consented. . How can eternity in hell fit such a little offence(not even an offence on my part since it is mutual). . such punishment concept is not just because those punishments doesn't fit the crime which then also leave the punisher to have done some evil on his own, who then will punish him/her?

Talking about carefully channelled grooves , that would be one hell of a task and do the water wheels shoot sprays of water upwards??

Nope the water wheels just need to take the water into a channelling system that will have a fairly well distributed channel through out the garden. . so it is a huge architectural task but do not forget who we are dealing with here, not just any king but the mighty, rich and powerful. . Nebuchadenezeer he has the resources to achieve that as many times as he wants

This is 'purely' correct, and its the fact too.

I always try to have an open mind about everything, and when scientific facts contradict believe or the other way round, I always put to use the the law postulated by some QUALIFIED African Teacher/Lecturers know as 'Gba bee's ' (youruba language meaning take it like that ) theory.
like u asked in your other post; 'why does rain fall' , I would accept the scientific facts and also accept the 'Belief'

hope you don't start seeing me as a nuisance because I believe

No bro you pose no nuisance because you have a belief. . It actually still will make it more interesting. . anyway be good bro

Dude you seriously need to stop that shiit if you are serious, it is definitely not ok to kill anything, we only kill other animals because its all just part of the food chain) But to me it is very wrong to kill even animal when you know you aint going to eat it, which is why i dont even kill a lizard unless that thing possess a severe direct threat to my own survival..all life is important and special. . It is very wrong killing a fellow human way very wrong..This is not something you announce so loudly like this and yet again proudly do it and hope to clear your guilt by confessing to some dude. .You seriously need psychological help

Then educate us on such books. Why would decide to keep such a "brilliant" book, if you have found it, from us. Or are you scared we might pick holes in such book also? My guess is the book tweaked the stories of other mystical books to make it sound right to the modern man.

The oldest known religious texts are the Pyramid Texts of Ancient Egypt
that date to 2400-2300 BCE.

The earliest form of the Phoenician alphabet found to date is the inscription on the sarcophagus of King Ahiram of
Byblos (The Sumerian Temple Hymns) circa 1000 BCE.

[1] The Epic of Gilgamesh from Sumer , with origins as early as 2150-2000 BCE, [2] :41–42 is also one of the earliest literary works that includes various mythological
figures.

[2] :41–42 The Rigveda of Hinduism is proposed to have been
composed between 1700–1100 BCE [3] making it possibly the world's
oldest religious text still in use.

The oldest portions of the Zoroastrian Avesta are believed to have been transmitted orally for centuries before
they found written form, and although widely differing dates for Gathic
Avestan have been proposed, scholarly consensus floats at around 1000 -
600 BCE.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/?title=Religious_text the jewish torah formulated around 450BC still na small pikin to these other religious books cool

That must of been because the bible is mainly about Israelites, and we all know that he choosed Israelite above all nations.

Deuteronomy 14:2
"For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Uuuuhm and a perfect god chose one people over others even to the extent of siding them in battles? . . thats called favouritism and doesn't connote perfection and surely doesn't portray universality in the image of the god exhibited

I am afraid that I will be discriminated against if I tell people that I don't believe in the gospel of christ. My family, my friends and classmates will see me as a demon. I got the hint when a boy in a general phylosophy class, asked a question that implied he probably does not believe in God. After the class, you need to see how people descended on this guy. Girls rained insults on him. He was called all sort of names including devil, lucifer and ape.
In the east where I school(UN,Nsukka), being a christain is the norm. I have tried to read the bible without doubting it but the more I read, the more I see contradiction and tales that are not possible. I decided to read the bible again from genesis to revelation to deepen my understanding of the scriptures. The first thing I noticed were that men once lived 500 years and above. Methuselah lived for 969 years, Jesus!! There is no way a man can live for even 300 years. Haba!

I think the devil has possessed my mind. I only see negative parts of the bible whenever I open it. He takes me straight to the parts that I will doubt and give me reasons why I should doubt that part.

I regret the day I met that atheist. He is a final year student on first class and on numerous scholarships. I only went to him for academic advice. He gave me life-changing inspirational and motivation advice about academics,religion and society. He is such a brilliant fellow that I can never forget. But he has sent me on a journey of no return(being a christain again).

Nnam no demon possessed you ooo, it is just conflicts of knowledge, reason and belief. . . And for the record if you fear discrimination, you necessarily need not let anybody know your stance . . . Anyway i stay in Enugu town, you can hit me up if you happen to enter town at least we can talk over some beers where you can say your mind and not fear discrimination

Perhaps in your haste to pick my post apart you didn't read it clearly. The term I used was "religious void". If you disagree that atheism is a religious void, then lets hear it. Other than that there's nothing else to discuss.

Quite agree with that statement, but yet again that void necessarily should be as a result of- as in the case of the Op when religion was a norm to him. . But in a case when someone is never was religious i don't think any void can be said to be present.

You know atheism as religious void can be related to someone referring to a formal habit (good/bad) as a void but these void necessarily don't have to be filled when basically it can be referred to a void created in the mind.

I understand your premise bro
Maybe plaetton misunderstood your usage of the word "void" i think maybe "absence" may have sufficed

Lol video was lengthy tho..10:56mins and a whooping 24mb shocked

.

It was not just one but two girls, the one on black and another. one on black seemed to be working for the pastor too cus he usually gives her instructions during the show

And a starter tho, the one on black was giving him BJ to liven his Joystick while the other was kissing him.
Later the other turned and he went in doggy while the one on black stood at a corner and kept watch, after few minutes they changed and the black one positioned and he rammed in while he kissed and fingered the other.

The music from the background definitely was not from the room, the echoing tilts gives it off to mean maybe the people singing are in the building but not the room (which looks like an office) or it was a stereo... either way it was a slow and steady bleep complimenting some slow and steady songs grin

anyway the pastor was a very slow bleeper tho cheesy

, just one stroke every 3seconds angry

. . the kittys were too good and the dude didn't wanna cum fast grin

Someone who believes in a passive, uninvolved god and who does not have a religion is called a 'deist'. There are some out there. 'Pantheist' is another type of belief in a god without religion. In this case they believe that the universe and god are essentially one and the same.

I personally am agnostic atheist; I don't believe in any god but i cannot prove that there are no gods. But certainly all religions are man-made and have quite a bit of nonsense.

Pantheism is a more of "All is God and God is all (everything that exist)" so its not a belief in a personal god it is a form referring to the universe as God. . . in this case, the noun God just connotes the universe...

Lol. . No bro, plans have been on since 2004 for another visit to the moon the operation is nicknamed Constellation due for 2020, You know its going to take that long?

Its because its no longer a few hours mission or something relative For one thing, the goal this time around is significantly expanded from last
time.

"This is much more than having flags and footsteps on the moon,"

NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate Integration Office. "We're
going for a sustained human presence in space."
Rather than visit the moon for hours or days at most, Constellation
astronauts will embark on missions that could last months. They will need
new tools and technologies for living on the moon, and must construct semi-
permanent habitats on the lunar surface. Besides the challenge of designing
these systems, NASA must build a spaceship than can transport all the extra equipments and necessities needed
