RIP to all our fallen soldiers. I salute your courage.

Atheism simply means lack of belief in God/gods. It is as simple as that.

parisbookaddict:
its really sad what happened in uyo.
From what we know
1. The building was still under construction
2. Building codes were violated
3. Nigeria a third world country has one of the highest rates of building collaspe in the world.
4. This was not an accident. It was murder due to negligence


Well there are very significant differences brtween this incident and the mosque,
which you know.
now let me mention this about the mosque
If Islamic Allah can not protect his followers in his grand mosque, one of the "holiest" mosques in Islam in very rich Saudi Arabia just a few miles from mohammeds home. If he can't and days later 2000 additional Muslims get killed during hajji. What hope is there for Muslims in northern Nigeria.

Just listen to yourself, very pathetic.

It is long overdue. Please roll it all out.

I'm surprised that that's the answer your professor could give. Actually, humans haven't stopped evolving. We're just evolving less physically, and more mentally.
For example, over time our front brain has been steadily growing bigger than our back brain. The frontal brain is where intellectual knowledge, etc is.
The conditions that made us evolve physically have been solved by our intellect.
For example, why haven't Eskimos grown fur if they live in a very cold place?
Its because their bodies had no need to evolve. Why? Eskimos had found a way, using their intellect, to survive the cold. Building igloos to keep heat in, wearing fur coats. In other words, the physical factors that cause evolution have been 'eliminated' by our intellect.

A very good reply. His Professor does not understand evolution.

Proudlyngwa:
Don't you think that's harsh.

It maybe harsh but the reality is everything we do is to keep our specie going.

Proudlyngwa:
That is not what I meant.
My main question still remains what is the essence of living and in that process living a moral life.
A car is built, with the end product being to be driven.
Food is cooked with the end process being to be eaten.
Animals copulate with the end process being reproduction.
People marry and reproduce but to me that is no purpose .
I believe I have a purpose in life, but if after everything when I die , all about me ( not my generation ) why should I continue.
As for the making enemies with society, what if I can get away with it till death ,what will be the essence for my victims if they feel death is not a justifiable punishment.

It is simple, the main purpose of life is for you to breed and keep the cycle going.

The thing about humans is that we tend to excogitate ideas about our world, through our perception of it. And this is also what's at the root of religious beliefs. We tend to ascribe agency to our environment. We think, that since this is how it is in our world, then this must have been how it happened.

Humans evolved consciousness to the level of understanding our environment and aiding our survival. I don't think we have evolved the cognitive capacity to understand something outside of our environment. I don't think we possess the understanding and level of consciousness to comprehend whatever it was that engineered the creation of our universe and the other million universes that exist. It's simply beyond our scope of reasoning and understanding. Maybe in a million years to come we would, but given our level of consciousness and scientific knowledge, we possibly can't in our generation.

That's why I laugh when I see people make claims about the creator of the universe and attribute humanly traits to it, like father and son, and even claim that he demands their worship, speaks to them, answers their prayers, watches them when they are alone, stalks their everyday movements and activities, loves them unconditionally, punishes them when they break moral principles that were obviously humanly constructed, wants a personal relationship with them, and would punish those who don't believe in him in hell for all eternity. Not only does this represent a severe case of delusion and intellectual vacuousness, it also represents how self conceited humans are.

I think questions like this represents a huge gap in our knowledge and understanding about our world, especially given the fact that we are anthropomorphic species that love to seek patterns in our environment. But the truth is that we simply don't have answers to this question of whether the universe has a creator or not, and what the nature of the creator is. However, a serious problem arises when we decide to fill up these holes in our knowledge, with delusions and concoctions, or religious beliefs, like we all commonly refer to them as.

I mean, doesn't it baffle anyone that the understanding we have about our world was presented by desert dwelling folks who lived 4000 years ago? Doesn't anyone find this unsettling? I mean, even if anyone was to propose a valid explanation of the true nature of our world and it's creator, even if it's strewn with lies, at least let it be people from the 20th century and beyond. At least these people would be less ignorant and more morally sound.

You make sense too much.

You are not suppose to display card details this way.

AnonyNymous:
That's a problem too, I'm in a private university and there are only three banks on campus: Wema, Skye, and Fidelity bank. And to go out na problem. Also, he only accepts PayPal. And I heard Nigeria has been blocked from PayPal

You can make payment via paypal in Nigeria, it is only receiving payment you cannot do.

AnonyNymous:
I've been working on a mixtape and I need to buy an instrumental for one of the songs from a US based producer so I can legitimately put the single on iTunes when I'm done with it. Unfortunately he only accepts PayPal and as you know in Nigeria, under this regime we can't use naira ATM cards to make international purchase talkless of using PayPal. If anyone can help me out with this I.e I'll transfer the money to your account and you'll help me buy it from him using PayPal. Its not a large sum of money, just about $20. Please any nairalander that has done this sort of transaction should PLEASE refer me to a tested and trusted person that can help me out with this as I'm afraid of falling for a scammer. Thank you very much in advance.

Use a GT master card, they allow a max of 100 dollars per month.

This is why atheists are sometimes overconfident that God doesn't exist. If God existed, people wouldn't have to use deception to hype him.


John Lennon made that statement in 1966. He was shot in 1980. That's 14 years later. If God killed him for that statement, why wait 14 years?


There's no evidence that he ever made that statement. Go ahead and search for it. It's just another religious lie. Also, he was 75 years old.


First of all, he died of AIDS, not lung cancer in 1990 after coming out as HIV-positive in 1989. His death was inevitable due to the lack of treatment options for HIV/AIDS at the time. Also, there's no evidence that he did what you said he did. Also, that's not even blasphemous.


The titanic was not built by one man. There were hundreds of people involved and many of them must have been faithful Christians. The fact that the man's name was not mentioned should have aroused your suspicion. Also, there were hundreds of people on the boat when it sunk. Many of them must have been devout Christians. Are you saying that God killed hundreds of his followers just to punish that unknown man?


1. There's no evidence that she met Billy Graham 1 week before her death. 2. "I don't need your Jesus" is not blasphemy. Millions of people have lived to a ripe old age after saying things that are far worse. 3. She died of a drug overdose, which is very common for famous musicians.


"Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell" is not blasphemous. It's not even referring to God or the Christian hell at all. Those kind of lyrics are very common in rock music.


1. The is no evidence that this story ever happened. Anyone can make up such stories and send them to strangers. 2. Why would a mother allow her daughter to enter a car that's being driven by a drunk person? That's incredibly stupid, to say the least. 3. If a car that was being driven by a drunk person crashed, isn't it more reasonable to assume that their drunkenness is what caused the crash? 4. Do you really want to portray God as a person who would kill a group of friends because of what just one of them said? Don't you think it's bad for God's image?


1. There is no evidence that Christine Hewitt ever made that statement. Go ahead and search for it. It's evil to smear a dead person's name.
2. Richard Dawkins once said that, "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." He is 75 years old and still going strong.

A very good reply. Everybody will die one way or the other. People that proclaim to worship God with all seriousness have met their ends in worse ways.

Finally i am here, i have read all posts and comments from page 0 to this page. You are doing a wonderful work Joseph1013.
I believe it is just a matter of time, it may take a 100 or a thousand years the monotheistic religions will be a thing of the past.

I must say your line of thought is an interesting one. I love your analysis.

Lennycool:
its called double linking bro, I was once disillusioned by religion once. double linking is an amazing feat of the human brain, that doesn't allow logic to touch our beliefs. I recommend this website since it helped me break the link
www.godisimaginary.com
its long but definitely worth it

I am currently reading proof 7 http://www.godisimaginary.com/i7.htm, the author nailed it.

Please kindly highlight what one should expect in the audition, my wife received an invitation. Thank in anticipation of your response.

Please kindly highlight what is expected of someone in the audition. I have someone who just received invitation for the 2016 audition.
Thanks in anticipation of your response.

VictorRomanov:
I am not here to defend unfounded news and stories, just want to ask a question.



Do u know Chris Angel and have u watched any of his shows, how do u think he does what he does?

You should have research more on Chris Angel, he is just a magician. His performances are just tricks the same way miracles are performed. Most of what we don't understand we attribute them to supernaturals.

plaetton:
If something is always always prone to misinterpretation and abuse, then it is obviously flawed.

Even an effective drug with too much side effects are usually banned from the market.

If religion was any good, it wouldn't be prone to all the problems associated with it.

Do you know the main thing that is wrong with religion ?

It is not grounded on reality, but on myths and fantasies.

Always on point, my thought 100%.

In my own opinion, believing in afterlife is irrational. There is no evidence of such thing as heaven or hell, humans have always desire to live forever and enjoy the good things of life, one of the reasons the afterlife delusion was created.

Currently, Stanbic bank master card works.

Please blank out the ATM card numbers. Some smart guys can make use of it.

This is fantastic, a sweet picture. There is hope for Humanity, one day we will get to the point when love for humanity will be our first and top priority and not some religious dogma.

malvisguy212:
alright. So please stop misinterpreting the christian faith. Ask questions what you do not know, if I cannot answer , some of my christians brethren may answer. Peace!

I am not misinterpreting any Christian faith. The OP never mention any specific religion.

malvisguy212:
are you a christian? Can you give me one verse from the bible were God forbid us to ask questions, we should just believe God did it without asking?

Not a Christian.

HCpaul:
Them never born you well.
Imagine! On a sunday afternun you are here displaying an act of stupidity.

Bird of the same feathers.

What else can i do than to laugh at your stupidity and immaturity.
