What is nice about the write up? Silly...

I am not going to come down low and talk trash with you, counter the statements by the OP if you are mature enough.

Nice write up.

Praise the lord! He let the gas carbide explodes and shattered your legs but he kept you alive for some reasons(Reasons he wouldn't disclosed to you anyway but if you turn out to be successful in the future you can add that as one of the reasons the loving God kept you alive). If it was others he would have let them die just like the 7 in jos but he "loves" you. That's why he let the explosion only shattered your legs. Thank god.

I love the sarcasm.

Emusan:
Since you've agreed that it's your perspective. I'm satisfied!

So kindly allow people to comment.

Thanks.

I never stopped anybody from commenting.

Emusan:
From your own perspective!

Yeah, that's my perspective. The world will be a better place when we can all think out of the box and not just believe all we were taught as kids. Most of the stories in the holy books are middle east and roman mythologies that were modified and shaped to fit in to some individual's ideology some thousand years ago.

Emusan:
How does this address the OP

It is simple, all the stories as stated by the OP are myths.

Most of the stories in the supposed holy books are myths passed down to generations.

If Earth stopped rotating, everyone not bolted to the ground would fall over and roll due east at the speed of a jet plane.

Neil Degrasse Tyson just tweeted this.

I will appreciate if you can give us the source. Thanks.

I salute your gallant sacrifice. Forever rest in peace.

Its funny how atheists laugh at cars popping out of the ground but have no problem believing (by blind faith of course) that the more complex human who designed that car simply popped out of the ground.

So your assumed more complex GOD who designed the complex human just popped out of the ground: this is the implication of your statement.

There is nothing nonsense about what is written. He is 100% accurate, we need to win the war against ISIS,boko haram and others and the only way is by ideology.

mustymatic:
This is the definition of typical nonsense

A nice article.

Fuvking hillarious.

I have not mentioned i believe in big bang theory, i simply say "I do not know".. That we do not know how something came to be doesnt mean we should come up with an archaic concept or primitive explanation that a deity did it.

Is it not a more noble thing to find out how these things came to be through careful study and scrutnization of available datas. than to kill our intellectual curiosity by just saying a deity did it?

The concept of God(s) is unproven and contradictory...
It was just a human idea to explain things that seemed complex to the men of then.

Ancient men believed the gods had a store room for rain and snow somewhere in the sky(book of job) cus they couldn't explain how these things happen so they just come up with god did it but now we know better than these things are all part of water circle and no store room is involved neither is any deity involved..

in terms of big bang THEORY let me define to you what theory is

(science) A coherent statement or set of ideas that explains [size=20]observed facts or phenomena[/size], or which sets out the laws and principles of something known or observed;[size=20] a hypothesis confirmed by observation, experiment[/size] etc.

its left for you to decide what you want.. Big bang is still under study and can improve as more facts and observations are made...

But for me personally i do not claim to know how the world started cus i opened my eyes and saw the world, i wasn't there before the world.. so how am i supposed to possess such knowledge...

Well said.

Someone I know said "We need to believe we have
superpowers." Whether it's astrology, or the belief in
psychics, or ghosts, because we are a conscious species,
we understand that death is the ultimate unknown, and we
learn early that death awaits us all. Our conscious nature
and our culture came together such that they tried to
explain death as having a purpose, and that the ultimate
purpose of it is greater than the purpose of our lives. That
mysticism led to religion which codified beliefs about death
and created a hierarchy of political power that in turn tries
to control the way people think and live and how they
allocate their resources (back to the religious beuraucracy).
It all stems from the need to believe that death is not the
end, despite all evidence that it is the end of everything we
can define and quantify in life.
Human beings are not rational. We are emotional first, and
death is scary. Without imagining any kind of hell, imagine
simply non-existence. What does it say about the
unknown (but short) number of years you will live? If it is
the end, what imperatives must you try to accomplish,
whether for yourself or altruistically for the universe around
you (people, the planet, friends, causes you believe in)? It
makes it so much more urgent to do things NOW that will
make your life have value to you. The idea of a god and
an afterlife makes it easier to allow yourself to be flawed, to
believe that injustice 'gets taken care of' in an afterlife, that
people get what they deserve at some point off in the
future.
It also explains away why people die of cancer at the age
of 12, or why your marriage fails: it's some other entity's
will (that you can't understand and can't resist).
To some extent, the codifying of religion produces its share
of good. The "golden rule" is a great way to live, and
religions try to teach it, which is praiseworthy.
But there's no reason to believe that death is bad. Non-
existence will not be painful (where were we before we
were born? I associate no sadness or pain with not being
alive, and I have no memory or sensation from it either!).
Maybe there's something beyond death, but no one can tell
us, so there's no reason to follow someone else's ideas
about it. Follow your own, but be not afraid.
Be good to one another in this life, because human
compassion is real, and is the only transcendental good we
know of in the universe. Leaving a beneficial mark in THIS
life should be our goal, and not the avoidance of some
mythical punishment in the next life.

Great piece. Permission to quote some of your sentences on another forum.

zyzxx:
u ask a reasonable question sir.
We are in wicked world, where God as plan for us, devil also as plan. Wich we thank God it in vain in our life,
do u think all children dat comes to dis world are from God? Some are from rivers, forest and so on. For wicked purpose, maybe to make their parent cry and so on. May we never give birth to such children in jesus name amen. Our children will be from God amen.

This statement of yours is too naive. I believe you can give a better response to the question asked. It is this type of reasoning that drags humanity backward.

I pray he was able to get away. The Nigeria military has lost its glory. It is bad to see a single soldier fighting for his life, where are his comrades. It should be 'ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL'.

The murderer was the mother.
The victim was the son.
The father helped the murderer.
The daughter (youngest) was the witness.

Explanation: The father is the oldest, since the oldest and the witness cannot be of the same sex hence the witness is a female.
The witness and who helped the murderer are not of the same sex hence the person who helped the murderer is male. The person who helped the murderer is older than the victim (hence the father cannot be the victim). The father is either the murderer or helped the murderer.

Taking the last known fact: the youngest person (the son or daughter) and the victim (son, daughter or mother)are not of the same sex will give us three possibilities
1, daughter is youngest and son is victim: this leave us with the option that the father helped the murderer (the person who helped the murderer is male) and the daughter is the witness (because the youngest cannot be the murderer). The mother was the murderer.

2, son is youngest and the daughter is victim: this leaves us with the option that mother is witness and father is murderer and the son helped the murderer but the person that helped is older than the victim. Hence wrong.

3, son is youngest and Mother is victim: this leaves us with the option that daughter is witness and father is murderer and the son helped the murderer but the person that helped is older than the victim. Hence wrong.

Hence option 1 is the right answer.
