[quote author=Lord_Reed]Yes the sacrifice of the cross is foolishness according to men, yet I have accepted it; shouldn't make you vehement.[/quote]Was Jesus vehement when he flogged traders out of the church?


I am not angry or edgy. The point is that I am stating the consequences of believing in nonsense. People start doing nonsense as a result.

fellis: It's a thing of the mind.

"To overcome fear, you have to become fear itself!"


Stupid batman quote but seems appropriate for some reason

[quote author=Lord_Reed]If you support my right to believe why are you edgy about it?[/quote]Edgy? If your belief is foolish, then saying it is foolish is telling the simple truth.


Christianity has bullied common sense for far too long
-If I ran around saying that god said that I should walk naked in the streets, people would put me in mental institution
-If I ran around saying that god made me a prophet and I should slap witches for deliverance, people will pay me tithes

[quote author=Lord_Reed]I supposed I would have said so in time past but not after seeing someone go to college from 4th grade.[/quote]Well, you can believe what you want to believe. Facts and history can never be on your side once you start pimping 11 year old leaders/teachers

[quote author=Lord_Reed]You call it foolishness but the World around you shows you possibility yet you want to deny it. Do you imagine if an 11 year qualified to be a professor s/he could not find some university who'd employ him/her?[/quote]11 year old professor is impossible.

fellis: I can't do it. I will stand out and feel too different.

Are you going to wear a burkha or something?


Other than that, youre not going to be different.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Iranian American Alia Sabur – youngest Professor ever, Guinness Book of World Records

The youngest university professor is Alia Sabur (USA, b. 22 February 1989). She was appointed as a full-time faculty Professor at Konkuk University, Seoul, South Korea as Research Liaison with Stony Brook University (New York, USA) with effect from 19 February 2008, aged 18 years 362 days.

Alia has been setting records and making history starting with reading at 8 months old. Her IQ was determined off the charts. She went from 4th grade to college, earning a B.S. in Applied Mathematics, summa cum laude from Stony Brook University at age 14, the youngest female in American history. She then earned an M.S. and Ph.D. (ABD) in Materials Science and Engineering from Drexel University. Alia is the youngest ever to receive fellowships and awards from the Dept of Defense, NASA, GAANN and NSF.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alia_Sabur[/quote]18 year old professor is an adult. She went to schools and learnt a lot.

What qualifications does an 11 year old have to start preaching to adults.

Try as much as you can but you cant justify this foolishness

fellis: I can't do that. I am not an atheist.

lol....I remember some muslims praising me for wanting to see what is in a mosque.

Other way around............

ijawkid: Now that's what I was about replying that mad daddy of a boy/man....lol...

I knw of kids and infact there are kids who can comprehend and solve hard maths/physics that under normal circumstances is meant for only adults to handle......

If children can solve maths and break down physics why shuld it be any surprise when a child preaches d goodnews of God......

All I was against was d child laying hands on people..(Even Jesus didn't do that @ age 12)....

But preaching??

Oh yes kids can if they are trained from infancy.....

How foolish. Like sheep you follow the other sheep in front. Keep following Anony into imaginary land;

MacDaddy01: How foolish!

Would we make the 11 year old a professor?

Would he be teaching adults in university?

Would we make him a physics teacher?


People who dwell in reality would see the foolishness in such argument

[quote author=Mr_Anony]If it was an 11 year-old espousing Einstein's special theory of relativity, I don't think we would have complained as much. We would likely have been hailing him as a very smart and gifted kid who we are privileged to learn from.
For me, the age of the preacher does not matter as much. What matters is the content of the message.[/quote]How foolish!

zataxs: No one is letting up.

Ranting on Nairaland is ineffective. There are no new converts. In fact it makes people here feel like they are going up against the devil. No one cares about the brutality of the Bible or Quran. The greed and wanton immorality of the religious leaders and their followers. It is a complete waste of time.

Atheist must switch up their game.

But we have had people leaving christianity and islam here on nairaland.

Do your research bro

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Luke2:
40 And[b] the child[/b] grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

Jesus at age 12.[/quote]......assuming the Jewish hippie existed

ijawkid: it seems u never read my comment well...

Why wuld a child take adults on bible courses related to sex,marraige etc.....that'll be absurd....

D child can discuss bible stories and some other important points to his contemporaries or some few adults......

I'm sure u never read my comment well....

I asked how old was josiah.....??

Young ones can indeed give a witness....
Young ones who were taught truths from d bible from infancy .can .prÉach,but
DefÍnitly not. Assuming over sight roles like what I'm seeing on d pix the op put up...

what I don't agree with is a child laying hands on adults....its wrong........

You know something is foolish but you want to cover it up so that you wont say something bad against christianity.

A child should never preach to adults. You wouldnt let a child lead you on anything else.

[quote author=Bélla3]EPIC FALL.[/quote]Epic fail.

Be gone, troll

Yes, a bit truthful.


The religionist here have quickly learnt to shelter themselves from reasoning and logic.


~However, some of them are showing signs of giving up

[quote author=Bélla3]^@ macdaddy and avicenna
Just when i was begining to think atheists are unbaised in their judgement.
Tsk trk tsk.
Indeed we would do anything to protect our 'beliefs'. And nt believing in god doesnt stop him from being a bigot.[/quote]Name one bigoted thing in this thread that I have said.


Everyone can see that you are wicked.

[quote author=Bélla3]bt does it concern you? AS an athiest i believe u agree evry1 shud think for themselves.[/quote]Yes and people think better with better information or evidence.

That is what this forum is for. We debate and people decide.

I am not going to the front of their church to shout my views.

ijawkid: How old was Josiah when he became king??

I'm not in support of this boy laying hands on people or assuming d role of an overseer...that'll be very wrong...

But this lil boy sure can preach about God from house to house or to persons with some bible knowledge......

Sure he can!!!!!

But what I'm seeing on that pix is wrong......the child is suppose to be with his parents learning more bible stories...:-)

Ode, big fool, agbaya!

What is a lil boy going to teach adults about sex or marriage or slavery in the bible?

[quote author=Bélla3]Even though i agree with you, and even think children shouldnt be baptised until they are 12 so they knw what they're initiated to. Am just amazed on why an athiest is bothered on who a grown adult shud listen to.[/quote]Keep defending foolishness!


What is an adult going to learn from an 11 year old about sex, marriage, business etc? Allowing such foolishness to go without criticism is sign of a wicked heart.

fellis: Stop that your 'Ah this' and 'Ah that' you keep typing. Must you announce to everybody that you are a typical yoruba man?

@topic,
atheists do not have a common universal belief system. Even the humanism stuff you wrote about is not an atheistic belief system as there are atheists that do not support that school of thought.
Apart from disbelief in God, there is nothing else that atheists everywhere share the same opinion. Even theists(christians and muslims) with their religious books and doctrines don't have one single thing bringing them together, they still have sects and all what not.

Sometimes it is a blessing in disguise not to be from the 3 major tribes.......


Fellis, would you go to an atheist convention?

deols: I read an article on the said threat. It isnt even as direct as people make it seem. It could pass as an advice

As usual, a fundamentalist muslim will always downplay terrorism.

GTFO!

deols: this link appears to explain your ban-

Good lord......your laziness is even making an atheist to mention god.


Go further down the thread and read the problems with the rules mentioned in the op

Why so heartless?

Avicenna: You know I opened a thread once asking how to tackle religionists. I m going to be Nigeria's foremost aggressive atheist. Beat you to it.

the advice I got was to acquire money and power. Once I do that, You will hear of me.
But if I don't, well, I will try my best with my family.

Yes ooo! In Naija, one needs money and power to influence and move forward!
