No one can be comfortable with snake around them.

LoLz. Why e dey pain you na? I am not married to you am I. Bwahahahahahahaha!

vdestro:
Even an atheists will not willingly marry an atheists, not to talk of an atheistic family.

LoLz! Is your family atheistic?

sukkot:
lordreed is hellbent on disgracing his family name on nairaland

I am not like you who has had to change monikers because you are a disgrace to yourself, your ancestors and unborn generations. How many times have you changed monikers now?

Should you decide to accept it.

The Socratic Dialogues by Plato

As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This thread shall Enlighten.

On board. Lemme go read.

budaatum:
Got something to hide?

Most likely due to the sensitive nature of the evidence. I think even Trump's lawyers are going to need to pass security clearance to be able to review the evidence.

Workch:
he already did

SMH

Hypothetically, How will you feel if a lion killed a rapist, and how will you feel if a lion killed Kumuyi?
Which life do you value more and why?

LMFAO! Nice one.

preciousee17:
I think I've rushed to speak what I didn't mean.

Please I've never seen miracles occuring repeatedly in a lab or some form of 'controlled environment'

Rather, I've seen miracles repeat themselves when there is 'Faith' present. And where the Holy Spirit is present. As much as is the Will of God.

That's what I called a controlled environment, not a lab or something similar where everyone with a certain illness line up and get cured.
(Mind you, this thing you are looking for will soon happen, and these lab miracles will be performed by the anti-christ. It has been written)

Peace.

Ok then I am not really interested in stories, especially stories of soon coming people with miraculous power. I don't think any such "anti-christ" will ever show up but if ever it happens come and call my attention to these lab miracles.

Bvlgari:
Is 6months enough or too early for a widow to start dating? Her late husband died in a hotel on top of his sidechick.

It's not too early given the circumstances. Grieving is a personal thing so if a spouse doesn't grieve long for a cheating spouse, then it's understandable.

Workch:
simple, I will be convinced as well if anyone can do this

Most likely they will shift the goal post.

preciousee17:
Of course there are lots of documented miracles, videos too

Why don't you believe those ones first?

I am addressing your statement that miracles have been reproduced in controlled environments, that is what I am interested in. If you have videos of a miracle taking place in a controlled environment put a link here let's watch it.

preciousee17:
Yes. Let me give you an example.
A Christian missionary travels to an unknown land to preach
He is later caught, beaten and locked up
And later given a poisoned food to eat, and he eats it (most especially unknowingly).
If it is not the will of God that that man should die, then that poisoned food will have no effect on him

I didn't ask for hypothetical or imaginary example, I want a practical demonstration in a controlled environment.

Bizzyman:
It is obvious you haven't experienced the power of God. You are too familiar with the power of men that you think God is as limited as man. Correct your thinking.

God can do the incredible...He is limitlessly powerful.

Ok I want the god to show the limitless power by turning water to wine in a controlled environment.

This is the thing with religious and mob ire, it is an evil wind that blows no one good.

caye:
True.
NATO defended:
Yugoslavia, by bombing a hospital with doctors, patients and nurses, and burning ppl alive

Libya:- by destroying and killing hundreds of Gadaffi's soldiers and bombing building.


NATO is a defensive organisation, that doesn't attack.

True.

LoLz. So when a member state is under attack NATO is not to retaliate because it is a defense pact? Or when the UN tasks NATO forces to embark on military action they are to sit on their hands because they are a defensive pact. If this is what passes for logic around here, it's no wonder you lot are always in ecstasy over anything Russia does.

OLAADEGBU:
How do you feel when a lion kills an antelope? Do you feel the same way when a lion kills a human being? Which life do you value more and why?

What does primate mean and how does it preclude humans from being classified as primates? Tell me that first.

preciousee17:
Noted. You can go through the thread and entertain yourself
Then you can ask something, or debunk something too.

preciousee17:
I'm nearly laughing now
What was the controlled environment back then?
1. No one asked for it except the mother of Jesus (mother of the pastor performing the miracle for instance)
2. Jesus wasn't invited to the party to turn water into wine (I'm guessing you'll have to invite a pastor to your occasion with the intention of forcing him to perform an experiment)
3. Nobody knew what was going to happen, even as it happened no one knew, only Jesus, His mom and the servants that filled those jars with water

Now let me tell you a type of miracle that have occurred following that pattern: poisons have been turned to normal food.

You claimed that the miracles have been repeated in a controlled environment so can you change water to wine or can anybody anywhere change water to wine in a controlled environment?

All I want to know is can "poisons have been turned to normal food" be done in a controlled environment?

Busybrain2233:
Thanks for sharing this.

I'm just curious though, wanna start making plans towards that.



@ the emboldened, Yeah, most theist folks don't really know what Atheism is all about.

Congrats in advance!

I guess it would depend on the family you are marrying into, but I am sure it's the rare family in Nigeria that would accept an atheist as an in-law from the get-go. I think the most important person that needs to know is your intended, you guys can then discuss how best to handle it with regards to family. Religious observances are to me mostly unimportant so make accommodations where you need to and put your foot down where you think a line is being crossed.

Maynmann:
That’s true.
I wanted to ask, is theism the belief in gods or worship in gods?
Because i think you can believe in a god and not necessarily worship it.

Belief, yeah not all theists worship.

Maynmann:
At bolded, oh wow really.
Most people think atheists are devil/satan worshippers, but they don’t even know that a satanist is a theist.
And even the concept of satan the antagonist exist only in their various religions, they see us through the lens of their religion lol.

Yeah really.

Well, not all satanists are theists actually. TST and CoS only use Satan figuratively, not as an actual deity or being they worship. Ritualist satanists are of course theists but you hard find them in the open and they definitely are not atheists, they probably hate atheists as much as other religionists do too.

Busybrain2233:
Please I'm calling on Atheists, Agnostics etc. to please help share their experiences on when they were about getting married, how your wife's/husband's family especially the parents viewed you as an Atheist/Agnostic when intending to marry their daughter/son?

Or did you hid being an Atheist or Agnostic from them?

If you didn't hide it, then how did the marriage ceremony go, if there were any

I became an atheist after I was married so I can't really speak to that but now that I am an atheist both sides of my family know. My MIL said if she had known I was going to be an atheist she won't have supported the marriage. Oh well too late mummy. LoLz. I think most people have an erroneous perception of who an atheist is. A lot of them think atheists participate in secret societies and the like, which can't be further from the truth. Fun fact: I have a colleague who is a Christian and a Free Mason, he openly wears his Mason ring. I got to talking with him because he learnt I was an atheist and he confirmed that the lodge would not take me because I am an atheist.

I have tried to live as good a life as I can, showing everyone that I am just a man trying to live my life without any mumbo-jumbo.

Timoleon:
you should have given him a simpler answer using his own logic since 2014 Ukraine has been bombing ethnic Russians in Donbas and other parts of Ukraine. Russia is intervening. Why should it be claimed that Russia is attacking Ukraine when the state sponsored genocide is well documented? Just as USA and nato have ‘intervened ‘ in a their country, Russia is also intervening in Ukraine.

Now we switch to lying. Wehdone sir.

sukkot:
lord reed stop disgracing your lineage on nairaland

Yeah jerkoff I won't intrude on your life goal of disgracing your ancestors and future generations, I leave that to you.

ErnestNc:
Since you Indirectly claim to be wise...

Where did those supposed "life forms" emanate from?

From other lifeforms.

It's quite hilarious, both the AI Jesus and the people asking questions.

vdestro:
No, not any occurrence only supernatural occurrences like being alive after a submarine implosion under the sea.

Who survived a submarine implosion?

Globetrot:
That raises the point that I always say, Russia didn't know that one day the west will be trying to lay her map down on a table and try to Bleep the shit out of her, and for the rest of your questions, history is written by the victor, not the vanquished.that was one of the operations that led Europe to being vassal states to the USA.

LoLz. You just tried to insinuate that the UN and NATO were in lockstep but now you want to somehow extricate Russia from the mix. Bwahahahahaha!

vdestro:
Who cares? If he had died that surely will not be his interest.

Right so any occurrence should just be attributed to supernatural causes just so you can believe in a deity. LoLz.

Globetrot:
And who exactly is the UN,a coalition of countries holding hands and singing kumbaya while a few controls what happens within the organization,I think the Libyans got a resounding effect of the NATO/UN charade and till this day has not recovered from the destruction wrought on them by this whitewashed God forsaken neo colonialist. NATO did their shit in Serbia and ironically the whatever they said that they were stopping is happening right now but in a different direction. The world knows that NATO is not a defense organization but a blood thirsty demon that herds a couple of countries to invade and destroy countries that don't serve their interest.

LoLz. If NATO and the UN are in such lockstep why did NATO act on Yugoslavia without UN backing but waited for UN resolution to act in Libya? The same UN security council that is headed by Russia? So Russia is part of charade is it? LMAO.

Emusan:
But you have evidence of evolution from the first life

Never said that.

Nothing different, where you got your information from, can you verify it?

Within reasonable limits yes.

You've started twisting my post.

You are the one starting to twist. You demanded first hand experience so we must also use the same yardstick to judge your own claims.

Nsogbu001:
My friend is atheist like some us here in Nairaland .
So, few days ago he will driving on a very speed when all of a sudden his car swerved into a ditch. Luckily for him, not even a scratch. After thinking of how God saved him, he's now a believer. What if he had died? Who knows where his soul would have been. Repent now!!!
Take a look at the accident scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1AfmWWDVnk

Did he bother to find out why the car swerved or is he just attributing it to supernatural causes without finding out?

Nwanna2588:
Early last year the brother all of a sudden became mad. This is a brother that was very active in the evangelism department. He was even going alone to evangelise without waiting for others. The air of mystery still surrounds what made him mad.
The Church in an attempt to restore him to his former self responded immediately. He was rushed to a psychiatric hospital where he was taken care of. After one month, he was restored but not without being prone to occasional outbursts. The church also sponsored his deliverance program to one of the Church branches but he did not go. This was after the church gave him money for the deliverance.
Today, the church was tired of his occasional outbursts and asked him to stop coming. It should also be known that the church has been feeding him all this while but his outbursts were embarrassing to the Church.

SMH. So sad.
