zonaking: Did u pass jamb?

i love this question!

Joavid: Pan-African i tot nairaland is for Nigerians...well as the name implies.
maybe the name should be changed to appeal to a larger African audience

i suggest 'Afriland'.

caribchic: @ op you forgot this one:

ife 10 => : and how does this affect the price of garri for market?

or this:
Pastor Chuks 09>>> give your life to Jesus, and stop working your ways toward hell!
Imagine that!

kritikul: I like nairalanders. They are very good at picking errors but very bad at correcting them. Now all the grammarians in the house, somebody should correct the '...live witness of this horrible incidence...'The poster needs to know how to say it right. Over to you....

Pay less attention to the amusing children of Nairaland. The only err I see there is 'incidence' in lieu of 'incident'. The former denotes the rate/frequency of an occurence, while the latter denotes a mere (sometimes violent) occurence. The use of 'live witness' may sound tautological, but is grammatically aright, since one can be a witness by either seeing or hearing. Hereof the writer uses the adjective 'live' to emphasize he is a witness by VISUAL.

Can't forget... Checkmate, Robin Hood, Wonder Woman and the yorùbá epic: kòtò òrun.

papaejima1: Not surprised.
The officers were looking for intelligent ways to outwit their testers and not to pass the tests.
So as is usual, they ended up being foolish!

A police officer once (some yrs back) was holding my ECMR form in his hands and was asking me to provide my CMR form. When I told him he had it in his hands, he said that what I had was ECMR not CMR!
Oh mehn, my head scatter! I nearly wept with frustration at his stupidity.

Last month (April 2013) I was driving in P.H when I was stopped by the police. Wondering what the checkpoint was doing there, I complied as I felt they were checking the tinted permit stuff. The officer asked for my Driver's License. Took one look at it and exclaimed, "Oga your license don expire"
Surprised I told him it would expire in 2014, he told me no, that it is 2013. Even after showing him the expiry date on the card he said the FRSC made a mistake! That every card issued in 2011 will expire in 3 yrs being 2013.

Boy-oh-boy! I thought I was dreaming! It took the intervention of another officer to explain to him that April 2011 to April 2014 is 3 yrs...

Anybody still wondering why they fail tests and exams?

BUOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Wonders happen. They're real. Seeing is convincing. But the term 'supernaturalism' merely exists in the mind and not within the boundary of mother nature. Any wonders happening within the boundary of nature are understandably governed by the laws of nature. That something is not obvious or explainable doesn't make such thing super-natural. Is energy obvious? That hurricane isn't an obvious occurrence in Africa doesn't make hurricane a supernatural thing. It'd be extraterritorially insane to suggest that the supernatural exists within the boundaries of nature(what is natural). Hence, all that we can see(explainable or inexplainable), in terms of wonders are nothing but natural wonders(i.e.the wonders of nature), while we have in mind that these wonders are commandeered by the governing laws of nature!

Eat banana and don't stop eating 'banana'.

Emusan: Ask yourself why all these natural disaster are so rare in some places because most scientist acquired their knowledge from devil.

WTF! The same devil-acquired knowledge invented your favourite airplanes, phones, t.vs, computers, internet....have you a brain at all?

musKeeto: Does he love satan too?

Baffles me!
Christian: EVERYTHING God created is good...

Atheist: everything including evil?

Christian: nooo! Devil created evil, not God.

Policewoman: ABEG I WAN BUY, HOW MUCH??

1Godfather: What a weeping monologue of a thread...

Since the thread starter has expressed the desire to stifle all discussion and debate on the points raised here, it is not surprising that the thread has been reduced to an echo chamber for various atheistic talking points found on other sites. Well, at least no one ever accused Nairaland Atheists of lacking the motivation to duplicate posts made elsewhere.

i suppose you weren't referring to any of my posts. You would offend my brain, if you did.

I'll rest but for a while, we shall continue from here later....

17.) ARGUMENT AGAINST THE DEVIL:
Theists' often claim that God created the Lucifer and not the devil is not only preposterous, but also flawed! Ask a theist the creator of ALL THINGS, he/she won't hesitate to reply tacitly by saying GOD! Then ask a theist who created evil, he/she will be cunning to tell you that it's the devil, that is after the previous assertion that the source of all things is God. Thus:
1. Is evil not part of the 'ALL THINGS' created by God?
2. If God creates ALL THINGS, then he is (chiefly) responsible for the outcomes(good or bad) of the 'ALL THINGS'.
3. Hence, it's either you agree that God is the same double-actor-devil, or that he is the originator of evils(as attested by the scriptural quote of Isa 45: 7)
4. It's either you agree that God is not the sole creator of ALL THINGS, and that it's got a co-founder(Devil), or you agree that there is nothing like evil, so, all that exists(e.g.murder,râpe,gay...) is good, or you agree that there is no God whatsoever.

Logicboy03: Please, lordbabs...edit your arguments when you get on a pc or try to do it with your mobile if possible.

don't mind me joor, this silly device dey fall my hand, i'll surely put all in order as you illustrated. Thanks buddy!

16.) ARGUMENT ABOUT GOD'S ANTHROPOMORPHISM AND PERFECTION:
1. That man is created in the image of God hypothetically implies God's anthropomorphic qualities, e.g. having head, bûms, pênis....a complete denigration on the part of a Super Power persona.
2. If God is described as a perfect entity, and man is fashioned after its likeness, it won't be wrong to assume that man is also a perfect body. But since it's a popular truth that no man is perfect, it sounds crazy to say God is perfect. Moreover, how possible could an imperfection(man) be created out of a perfection(God)? It's either the latter is not perfect, or the former is perfect just as the latter, or the latter is non-existent.
3. If man is created in the image of God, it is not illogical to posit that man's instinctive tendencies are in tandem with their maker's. And as such, the human natural appeal to evil, typical of the Bokoharam, Ku Klux Klan...is inherited from God.
Theistic Counter-Argument: that everything God created was good and perfect, but man's fall (in Eden?)precipitated his imperfection and disconnection from God. The logic is this:
(a) does man's fall discontinue the fact that he's still the image of God?
(b) if man is no more an image of God, then whose image is man adopting now?
(c) if it is impossible for a perfection(God) to be birthed by an imperfection(Man), then why should it not be impossible for an imperfection(Man) to be birthed by a perfection(God)?

Logicboy, my mobile device is failing me, having little problem in enbolding that title and the size. A little guidiance from you is needed. Thanks

Logicboy03: [size=18pt]13) The forgiveness loophole[/size]

God is ever merciful and will forgive if you repent of your sins, according to the Abrahamic faiths. Unfortunately, this presents a loophole in human actions and going to heaven.


-A religious man can molest and kill an atheist who rejects all religions and gods. This religious man can repent later in his life and worship God. The problem is that the religious man will go to heaven according to Abrahamic theology while the atheist will probably end up in hell for rejecting God.

i love that label!

Logicboy03: ^^^ please, could you make your title in bold and size 18? Also number it as number 14!

copy that.

Much have been said already. In addition:
14. ARGUMENT AGAINST GOD'S DISCRETIONARY MERCY:
Based on the biblical quote below:
"Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth." (Romans 9:18).
A direct reference to the biblical account of Pharaoh, when God hardened his heart, purportedly to manifest its omnipotence to Pharaoh and the Isrealites at large. Now, the obvious atheistic questions are:
1. Why would God fault someone it intentionally wished to fault?
2. In lieu of hardening Pharaoh's heart to prove your 'Godian' stunts, why not soften his heart, which equally proves your supremacy/omnipotence?
3. Since God will show mercy{?} to whom he wishes, why should I, a mortal still bother to please such erratic God? Afterall, even if I please God, my assurance of getting its reward is on a 50:50 scale; so, why not follow my heart's desire?
4. God's discretionary mercy to mankind is inversely a curse and mockery of its omnipotence. An omnipotent one needs not appeal to authorities(inciting Moses to appeal Pharaoh to let its people go), in accomplishing its godly agenda.
Theistic Counter-argument: that man is liken to a clay in the hands of God: which doesn't tell its potter/maker what and how it should be moulded. Then, if man is like a clay and God a potter, why worry about a clay? Or does a clay worry about its maker/potter? Why make appeals to a mere clay? Would I, as a father, ask for the permission of my 1-month old baby to go and urinate? Quite unnecessary!

tchidi: I still maintain that showing her picture here is very wrong, and I'm glad some ppl share d same view.

Only squeamish sentimentalists like u shared d same view. There's ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong about that pic. Logically: did you complain when her pics were pasted at death? Why now? Scripturally: can u show me where such act is forbidden? Why do u paste Jesus' pics all about? Is that not invasion-of-privacy, as your fellow clown puts? Morally: is she not our daughter, friend, sister, entertainer...? Legally: how was the pic allowed to be taken in the first place, if it will amount to infringement of privacy?(be aware i'm a lawyer). Stop being childishly fanatic! A dead man is dead!

Fool! Are u in Nigeria at all? Check the below...

How fun and romantic would it be if fathers could dîckfeed their babies. But why can't men feed their babies, using their phallus? Afterall s.perm isn't poisonous to health. Why is nature so selectively partial? At least, we could thus have dîckfeeding, and not only breåstfeeding.

phlamy: For me really, when you look at the number of lives that have been lost and the number of people that have been disabled over time by the okada thing, i think it is worth banning. I used okada in lagos very often but you needed to hear my prayers before and after and then my pleas with the rider

keep quiet there! Does Okada claim lives more than Motors(in Lagos)? (show your statistics). Besides, If HIV is killing many people because of sexual intercourse, is banning sex the solution to such menace? Before the advent of Okada, automobiles have often caused road mishap, then, why don't you find solace in banning cars, since we hitherto had our own means of transportation(e.g. horse-riding, trekking...)? Moreover, if my income could only afford an Okada, and I purchased one, as my viable means of transportation, then you made a law banning me from riding my own transport, and yet, referred to me as a bonafide citizen of that land...isn't it discriminatory and wicked? You'd not better let your personal emotions for Fashola becloud your common sense!

Smooyis: We Nigerians can be very hasty in jumping into conclusions of matter. Wheneva an issue is brought up, let's try and read well before commenting. Ok. Every great society is governed by laws, and ours cannot and will NOT be an exception. Why marching protesters against the traffic? U can't complain against government policies while u are disobeying the laws of the land!

when religious pilgrims and other affiliate gatherings' assemblies/activies result in a traffic logjam, do you see that as an affront to the law, inspite that such assemblies/gatherings are not State's affairs? Why then being unjust to the activists gatherings, especially on a State's matters? Are you just silly or daft?
