Christianity EtcRe: Members Being ‘forced Out’ Of Church Of England For Being Gay by johnydon22(m): 4:17pm On Jun 11, 2018
hisgrace090:
Why can't this gay people just respect the church for once?

They can open theirs and make it acceptable to gay people.
I agree. Every organization should reserve the right to dictate their own term and condition.

If you can't keep these terms and conditions, leave them alone and go form your own.

Seems you don't understand what karma really means,karma is an unjust entity.It rewards when art of kindness is done and strikes or punishes when one deviates or does something evil...eg,when you help the poor,gives,incorruptible,magnanimous character KARMA blesses you but when you hates,kills, malevolent,loots govt money KARMA will definately penalize you.

I was in my teens when I became an atheist, I didn't tell my parents. I confided in my friend and he in turn told my parents. My father was highly disappointed in my decision while my mother's reaction was that of indifference which bordered on admiration and acceptance
Was becoming an atheist really a decision? I think its more of a realization. You become an atheist long before you know you are one

The point is that religion has done more harm than technology. All this your bending over to sit on the fence on this issue is disappointing.

I'm truly disappointed in the 'kingebuka-like' statements you made here.
Its amazing if you think that I am here to impress anyone.

Religion is a far more dangerous tool than technology. There exists no technology or even politics that will cause a 100 people to commit suicide together without facing any imminent threat.
We have a technology that can wipe out the whole planet. What can be more dangerous than that?

I dont think any of you understand this argument.

Remember that Christian cult that drank poison and commited suicide? What technology or politics could do that? Hmm
Communism, guns, bombs, nuclear bombs. The premise here is "Dangerous"

I really think that all the prise you have earned is getting to your head.
LOL. Amazing. Ad hominems do not validate arguments.
Christianity EtcAmadioha Visits Again by johnydon22(op): 11:02pm On Jun 09, 2018
t is here again, that same ram bleating away at the back of my head. The whistling wind fluttering my curtains through my window. It has been a warm night, sweat and discomfort has been my bed and blanket. Then, in the wee hours of morning, a blinding lightening flashed through, bright enough to break through the coverings of my little bedroom.

The hot night turned cold in a whim, shrilling dry piercing cold enveloped my room, i grabbed the blanket that have laid carelessly on the floor all night long, pulled my self up to lock the windows.

I touched my forehead and the beads of sweat that lingered through the night have dried up, goosebumps caressed every inch of me.
There goes the lightening again, a thunder followed immediately after, the cold intensified, my eyes peered through the corner, misty and dreamy in the punishing grip of a strange sudden dry chill.

The bleating sound of the ram sipped through, ringing just at the back of my head. Its sounds were broken and deep, sending my blood boiling with every bleat, my heart racing without care. I feared i may have a heart attack.
"Why do this same ram bleat behind my window every night?" I asked myself.
Who would let a ram disturb the whole neighborhood every night? It was unfair but there was something strange about this bleat.
There was a chill, a terror that envelope you each time it comes, Andrew lived just next door, i have asked him if he hears any ram bleating in the midnight.

"Ram? What ram?"

I looked on with disbelief, does it mean Andrew sleeps like a log? his window was just next to mine, it should be just as audible as it was to me.
but he looked on with a lost face, wondering and trailing within a foggy thought, i could only imagine what went on within those minds that remained masked behind a beardy face.

"The heat yesterday was just too much" He said

I looked on, lost still. Should i mention the cold? or will he asked 'what cold?' once again?
Am i going crazy?
No. if anyone was, Andrew certainly is. The cold, the ram, lightenings and deafening thunders was as real as real can get, you'd have to be mad, deaf and dead not to notice them.

It is here again, the same sound of a distressed ram, sending a wave of profound sorrow unsaid and unnamed within me.
I crept out of bed, i must see this ram this time, i must chase it out of my window, it should bother someone else and let me sleep.
The cold made my joints ache, my lungs suffered from every drag of breath.

I threw the blanket over my freezing body, slipped into the flip-flops beside my bed and walked towards the backdoor.
The iron bolt of the door was cold, it squeaked protested as i pulled it open, the door groaned as i gently opened it inch by inch.
Stepping out into the back corridor, i peered into the dusk, the ram no longer made a sound and i could hardly see farther than my window from where i stood.

The moon was still gracing the sky, silvery light bathed the grey-dark morning, starry lights smiling through the deep dark sky.
"Where did this lightening come from?" i muttered to my self stepping even further towards the open from the tiled small corridor of my little ground floor apartment. There was nothing that pointed towards rain, the sky was clear, the moon was there, and where the hell is this damn ram?

I turned to walk back into my room, the firs step came with that blinding flash of lightening and a rumbling disturbance in the bowels of the earth.
there goes that bleat again, it was just as close as my own left hand. In one swift reflex i turned, the ram was there.
White and huge, bigger than any ram i have seen and its whiteness shone with a radiance that could not be found in the darkness of the morning, blood shot eyes that shimmered from within, huge horns that bended and coiled into itself.

It made that bleating sound again, i stepped away slowly taking a foot up the little pavement that was my corridor. I backed away, rams are stubborn and i wouldn't want to disturb this strange giant.
There goes the thunder again, but this time the darkness intensified, the cold too. The rays of the moon could not be felt, the silvery light that smeared on everything around me was lost, only darkness tuned in.
Amidst the darkness, the ram was no more, a figure of a man stood there looking at me. His face hidden in that strange darkness that creeped into the world.

My door was within reach, my fear has ran further than i stood. I broke free from the cold, i cannot explain how i ran through the door and locked it in the same moment, into the bedroom, i dashed towards the wardrobe, fetched my baseball bat and waited with an uneasy beating heart that threatened to jump out of me.

Papa would say, Igwekala (Amadioha) didn't say much.

I was born on the day the masquerades were free to roam, spirits that neither spoke nor ate. The day Igwekala was celebrated.
I have grown in a home with a strong faith, our catholic faith ran from my great grand parents, papa have always wanted me to be a priest, to study in the seminary and take on the robe as a sign of my holiness, chastity and undying piousness as the chosen one of God.
I am not in the seminary now, my names are not called out but it seems i am being called. A God is calling me, but not the God papa would imagine.

Igwekala was here.

Am i a priest? A different kind of priest.

johnydon22 may no longer be an atheist. i am sensing it .
I am an atheist, you are sensing wrong.

The world is not a place of black and white, stop forcing people to walk a straight line. You can be religious and be rid of bias, you can be atheistic and be rid of bias.

Arguments have premises and we must try to argue within the premise without bias.

Atheism does not necessary mean anti-religion. I disagree with religious ideas doesn't mean i cannot argue without bias on matters concerning religion.

my brother leave all his your plenty talk,its obvious with what's happening around,right now the strongest political tool is religion,take your country as a case study
Doesn't this imply that as a tool of politics, the main culprit then should be politics?

Why then do we blame the tool and not the user?

And u think technology is the reason?
No. i think it is the misuse or wrong application of technology.

Before technology they was killing, it's even in ur bible. Cain killed Abel.
I am an atheist i don't believe in the bible

There's no need blaming technology or defending religion. Everything has to do with humans. We created both technology and religion. Trying to say one has done more harm than good is really stupid.
wasn't that what the original OP was trying to say? My counter argument blamed wrong application and not religion nor technology.

You may want to start again.

I know say people like you must de here to claim otherwise,
Yes. we still have objective people who wouldn't let such thin bias come between their objectivity in judgement.


but its the sad truth,religion has really done bad,the technology you talking about or weapon is mostly abused when there is war,and majority of this war are religious war ,tribal war ,racial war,a lot of war that got to do with belief,
Contrary to your naive idea, the major cause of war in the world is politics.

if we all got one religion and belief which is not possible, I don't think there will be war or need for weapons,
Wrong. Only a fraction of conflicts will be solved. Politically influenced wars (which is the major cause of wars and as you rightly pointed out, tribal, ethnic, racial wars will still remain, so this line is false.

technology will be totally for good purpose,technology has really done a lot, even most religious practices makes use of technology in a lot they do...
No it won't. Technology is not inherently bad, its application determines it effect either to build, help, improve or mar and same goes for religion.

We can wipe away the entire human race with technology but we haven't. Potential is different from what has already been achieved and I think op was referring to what has already been achieved.
If we go by what has been achieved, politics killed and have destroyed 10 times what religion has through history. It still remains.

Religion has been the reason behind the most barbaric crimes against humanity we've witnessed as a race.
There have been many times the world threatened to flick that button, religion was never one of the reasons.

Dont rope in religion with a false and unfair premise.

I dont really know how to quotes words to words so i will answer it in paragraphs..


1:Since he cant prove on his own there is no aliens on mars and i cant prove it either,he shouldnt disregard my claim,the only way to solve it is to conduct research whether my claim is right or not.
In an argument, you prove a positive not a negative. That's how it works.

2:Mistake,meant to say aliens on mars.
Still a negative invocation, doesn't need proof.

3:like i said before i dont believe in modern alien sightings

Fallacy of burden of proof reversal. It is up to you rather to prove that they do roam out planet

Can you prove they isnt planets in mars without drawing evidence from western media/sources?
What does this mean? A planet in Marshuh

I said african government which comprises of many countries lack the resources to embark on such research,they cant even handle simple problem of corruption.How do you know they arent aliens sighting?since must africa environment lack technology to post it..
Lack the technology to post it? You are literally typing on your phone right now

About the aliens in relation to existence of A God,it can or cannot prove the possibility of a God i dont really know for sure
