spiceadole: My husband did not spend on me while we were dating. It's possible to date without spending. It depends on the type of lady you are dating.
The problem is men want to use relationship to have sex hence the women bill them and they use money /gifts to impress them. No spending.. No sex.. Best relationship What was your perspective on it at the time, especially compared to prev relationships. Did you guys discuss it to come to that point or was it just an unspoken rule? Don't mind my many questions, just curious. |

WriteerNg: I have a theory. It might sound stupid but still.
I think he has a parasitic organism inside him that cannot survive in a live host.
So for the parasite to live, it has to control its hosts brain and thinking, maybe make him feel like he's been choked to influence his decisions of cutting himself. To relief the pressure around his neck.
You can see how relaxed he was after cutting his neck, when the blood was pumping out, like a noose was just removed from his neck.
Before he realizes what he has done, it is already too late and then his body dies. The parasite then gets to feed on his body, maybe for months until there's nothing left.
Then it starts searching for its next host.
I've seen several such cases. If we had good scientific research centres, his case would be thoroughly studied. This is a reach but more plausible than the other ignorant comments about demons, possesion and what not. At least with yours we've seen it in occur in nature just not humans. Dude might just be schizophrenic or even have BPD and has gone of his meds. People with those 2 illnesses tend to really go off the handle when not controlled by their medication as their reality gets distorted. |

triplechoice: You're confusing objectivity with verifiability. When I said "It is objectively true that I had that dream", I was making a claim about an event in the world, that a specific mental experience occurred in my brain at a specific time, and that is an objective fact like ",It rained yesterday"
The content of my dream is subjective (I never denied that) and not verifiable by others. But the occurrence of the dream, the fact that I experienced it, is as objective as any biological process. I never claimed the flying was physically real. I said the experience was real. That is the subtle but crucial distinction you missed
But who is to say dream content has no connection with objective reality, making them "real" What you dismiss as "subjective" may not be so . A wet dream, for instance, has a biological cause, buildup of sexual tension, and the brain creates a movie which triggers physiological processes to dissipate that energy .
You created confusion at the beginning by not clearly articulating your thought, and now shifting the goalpost after you logic was faulted . You started by saying "any claim or proposition"", without specifying, must be objectively proven to pass truth. That was the reason I brought up dreams, love and consciousness, which are regarded as truth even though not testable according to your strict standard. By your reasoning, one should doubt their own dreams, even their own thoughts since they cannot be measured or falsified. In other words, my thoughts, your thoughts, would not be true by your standard
Abraham Lincoln dreamt of his assassination, and it happened the way he dreamt it. When he shared the dream, it was dismissed as mere fantasy, until it became reality. But to you the dream content is not truth despite the fact the dream has become reality.
What you're insisting on is scientism: the claim that all truth can only be known through the scientific method. Thiat is incorrect because there are alternative methods for knowing truth. Scientists hardly use the word "truth" because they know science deals with provisional models that survive testing, not capital -T Truth. Falsifiability is a tool for weeding out bad theories, not a definition of what is real
So no, your narrow standard does not get to dismiss love, dreams consciousness, or my inner experience as untrue. You are the one who confused a useful method with the nature of reality itself. Please update your epistemology. Like I said you clearly don't know what objectivity means. Id help you out. Merriam Webster : expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations Cambridge : based on real facts and not influenced by personal beliefs or feelings: Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real. If you were confused that's a you problem, the title of the thread was literally a claim about objective reality. I don't know why you're foaming at the mouth. Writing wouldn't change fact no matter how upset you are beacuse it seems you can't smuggle what are empty claims about objective reality as truth. Id also suggest you educate urself on the definition of truth, it has facts in there somewhere, then educate urself on what a "fact" is. It is not my standard, it is "the standard" virtually everywhere no matter how upset it makes you feel, unfortunately feelings and opinions have nothing to do with truth. It's a good thing I never once mentioned science and it's a good thing even outside of a lab the same properties are used to demonstrate what is factual and what is factual = truth. |

sonmvayina: The Torah is a book of the law. It is the constitution of the Jews. The stories are not supposed to be understood literally. It is not a history textbook..... When I take my annual leave I will populate my "The letter killeth" thread. This is the typical retreat into “imetaphor” once the archaic nature of the texts is exposed. Suddenly everything becomes symbolic. I’m sure metaphorical stories come with structured genealogies, the commands are just metaphor, even with actual penalties attached to them. The time indicators, actual geographical references, named rulers, census details, lengths of their reigns? Even the Sabbath sef is metaphor, even though it is practiced literally, some how its sourced from a "metaphorical" event. The people in the text who were described as taking and acting on it literally - all metaphor. It’s not like there are actual narrative markers that are literally grounding events in actual time and place. It’s not like we can distinguish the poetic sections from legal codes and historical narrative based on the genre already present in the text. Spin another yarn, this one is weak. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Is Christianity The True Religion? Debate by Lucifyre: 10:59pm On Apr 10 |
triplechoice: No. I disagree. Your standard is not "the standard for truth about objective reality". It is the standard for empirical science . Objective reality doesn't work the way you assume. . Most of what we consider true in life, dreams, consciousness, the past, love, doesn't meet it. That doesn't make those things "random claims". It just means your bar is set for the wrong job.
You fear that without your high bar every "random claim" would be asserted as truth. Apart from this being a false dilemma, it's strange you think you must accept every claim made be others, hence your worry. You can simply ignore claims you find unconvincing.
There's a middle ground. We can evaluate claims by different standard depending on the domain. Science's falsifiability standard is for repeatable, measurable phenomena, not for singular past events, inner experiences or metaphysical claims
You can only demand scientific demonstration if the person making the claim declares it scientifically proven truth. But when they have not said so, it is wrong to to demand scientific evidence. The only thing you can do is to ignore them or take them at their word if you trust the person
For instance, if I tell you, "I dreamed last night that I was flying", you cannot falsify it, demonstrate it or repeat it. Yet it is objectively true that I had that dream. Science confirms humans dream, but the specific content is not verifiable by your standard. By your rule , my claim would be ""not true " which is absurd.
That alone proves your standard is too narrow. You need to widen it so you don't miss out on certain things in life which are true but don't meet those criteria You know what objective means right?! Cause I doubt you do. For instance, if I tell you, "I dreamed last night that I was flying", you cannot falsify it, demonstrate it or repeat it. Yet it is objectively true that I had that dream. Science confirms humans dream, but the specific content is not verifiable by your standard. By your rule , my claim would be ""not true " which is absurd. If you did you'd know the above is a clear subjective experience. You dreamt you were flying, did everybody else also experience your dream - that you were indeed flying? Clearly no. An example of an "objective" experience that reflects "objective reality" would be the claim "humans dream" or "humans eat", the kind of food they like to eat or whatever kind of dreams they have are subjective experiences. And the properties of objective truth are as stated - no less. Again pls check the meaning of objective as it differentiates from subjective. Absolutely no claim can be "objectively true" without those properties. |

sonmvayina: Christianity is the fakest religion ever. It is built of absurdities. It is founded on pagan ideology and human sacrifice. Something the creator detest. He even said "Thou shall NOT kill" That does not sound like somebody who wants or likes human sacrifice?? You mean the god that accepted Jephtah's sacrifice of his daughter, supposedly tested Abram with slaughtering his son is against human sacrifice and killing. Same god who outrightly commanded different genocides and supposedly wuped out the whole earth. Pot meet kettle. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Is Christianity The True Religion? Debate by Lucifyre: 8:03pm On Apr 05 |
triplechoice: Your definition for truth is so narrow that only physics and chemistry survive. Apart from these two, nothing else can be true for you since it simply cannot meet the standard. Well, that’s the standard for truth when we’re talking about claims concerning objective reality. There’s a reason the bar is high — otherwise every random claim could just be asserted as truth. Virtually all areas that deal with objective reality operate with that same standard. If we lower it here, then any claim can simply declare itself true without meeting any real criteria rendering the wors truth meaningless. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Is Christianity The True Religion? Debate by Lucifyre: 7:53pm On Apr 05 |
DeepSight: + Truth may not be verifiable, demonstrable or falsifiable. Because there are many things that are true that no human being can ever know about, talk less of verify, demonstrate or falsify.
But yes, Truth must be consistent. And it stands regardless of belief. There’s a difference between Truth existing independently of us, and a human claiming something is true. "For any claim or proposition..." |
Christianity Etc › Re: Is Christianity The True Religion? Debate by Lucifyre: 5:10pm On Apr 05 |
For any claim or proposition to be considered true in the first place, there are certain requirements it must meet; otherwise, it’s just an empty claim. Truth, as we understand it, is objective. Truth is verifiable and demonstrable. Truth stands regardless of belief or acceptance.
Truth is falsifiable and consistent. Truth is non-contradictory. And Christianity quite clearly falls short of these criteria, making its claims anything but established truth. In fact, no religion meets that standard— they all make assertions and label them as truth. That’s a big difference. |

There’s a reason the “effects” of prayer are indistinguishable from not praying or just being lucky or coincidence. Same reason why believers have zero measurable advantage over anyone else — they live, suffer, and die like everything else on this planet. If that weren’t the case, believers would be able to point to one tangible, demonstrable benefit and advantage that Christians who pray, reliably have over non-Christians who don’t and that the prayerless non-christain can't have. Just one, but there's none, says it all really. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Are You A Christian? by Lucifyre: 11:05pm On Mar 23 |
Religious belief tends to follow geography and upbringing more than independent discovery. There are three simple reasons why most people are Christians. Firstly, it’s the religion they were raised with and indoctrinated into, keyword indoctrination. Secondly, it’s one of the dominant and widespread religions in their geographical location, so exposure is high. Thirdly, it’s the religion that was introduced through colonization to their ancestors. |

What you can do is record the noise and send the recording and address to Lagos state Environment protection or something like that. I sent an audio of my neighbor throwing fireworks in 2024 but they never got back to me.
Or what you can do is buy a good sound system and blare Fela kuti to drawn their noise, I trust them they will ask you to lower your volume.
Then you can preach to them why are they not lowering theirs All those ones won't work, said so urself. What I did was to buy very good noise canceling headphones, then downloaded a white noise app. Whenever they're making noise i just turn it on and have my peace. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Religious Fanatism in Nigeria ? by Lucifyre: 10:16pm On Mar 19 |
FashionStyleGla: My fellow Christians are screaming and shouting next door to my house all in the name of Jesus. As usual they are speaking in their man made tongues. One of them is acting like an evil spirit and making strange sounds. I know it is all fake because I'm a hardcore christian. Jesus was the only one with his head firmly on his shoulders, his apostles got carried away and we're zealous without knowledge.
Amazing how people can live with Jesus for 3 years and start doing their own thing when he died. The fanatism in Nigeria is because people imitate the apostles and not Jesus I experience same, the noise pollution is crazy, the annoying part is I work from home. So on unlucky days I have meetings when they're holding services I have to lock all my windows, still barely reduces it. And sometimes it's very early in the morning, I suffer from insomnia as well, so imagine struggling to sleep through the night, fall asleep only to be awaken by noise. Also there's one useless pastor that comes once a month with big speakers very early in the morning on weekends and it's usually so loud. Just to tell everyone their sins and that they're going to hell. I think governing bodies need to step in to do something cause it's not funny. Cause for even a christain to complain about it shows how dire it is. |

cyberbro: The BBL surgery is a generally risky surgery to do, which is why everyone must stay away from it. The hospitals and doctors doing it might not even be careless, but then, it's not bad for the government to get to the root of the matter.
A famous Hollywood doctor, Dr. Dubrow, explained how little margin of error it has and said it's the MOST DANGEROUS surgery in the world, which is why he doesn't do it.
Ladies, stay away from BBL, most of us men don't even like it and we don't see women with BBL as wife materials, but then, some of you are already fixated on getting BBL because you're either into "runs" or you're looking for exaggerated attention from both men and your fellow women. A word is enough for the wise! "Taking fat and transferring it to the buttock to make the buttock huge is actually really dangerous," the board-certified plastic surgeon explained on the March 5 episode of E!'s Hot Goss. "It's the most dangerous procedure in plastic surgery because there's little veins in the buttock that connect to the main inferior vena cava going back to your heart." "If you inadvertently inject into it, you get a fat embolism," Terry added, referring to what happens when fat particles enter the bloodstream and can block blood flow to other organs. "It's not good and that can be very problematic to say the least." |
