fellis: Seun was a Christian when he created Nairaland. He became an atheist later.

frosbel: We don't call people fools, the bible does.

Psalm 14:1-3 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good. The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God. They have all gone astray, they are all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one.

toba: why do atheist engage the services of christian lawyers to defend them in court?

frosbel: We are here , actually , because it is our right, if our theist pals had not laid the foundation of science, especially Physics and Chemistry, atheists who are reaping were they did no sow, will be nowhere today.

Yep it's fact.

Fr0sbel: Better get your facts right before I 'disgrace' you this weekend

Of course it has existed in nature, but how we translated that into the electricity we use today in our world is the bane of my comment, right ?

Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber.[6] He coined the New Latin word electricus ("of amber" or "like amber", from ήλεκτρον [elektron], the Greek word for "amber" to refer to the property of attracting small objects after being rubbed.[9] This association gave rise to the English words "electric" and "electricity", which made their first appearance in print in Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica of 1646.[10]
Further work was conducted by Otto von Guericke, Robert Boyle, Stephen Gray and C. F. du Fay. In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin conducted extensive research in electricity, selling his possessions to fund his work. In June 1752 he is reputed to have attached a metal key to the bottom of a dampened kite string and flown the kite in a storm-threatened sky.[11] A succession of sparks jumping from the key to the back of his hand showed that lightning was indeed electrical in nature.[12] He also explained the apparently paradoxical behavior of the Leyden jar as a device for storing large amounts of electrical charge.


Michael Faraday formed the foundation of electric motor technology
In 1791, Luigi Galvani published his discovery of bioelectricity, demonstrating that electricity was the medium by which nerve cells passed signals to the muscles.[13] Alessandro Volta's battery, or voltaic pile, of 1800, made from alternating layers of zinc and copper, provided scientists with a more reliable source of electrical energy than the electrostatic machines previously used.[13] The recognition of electromagnetism, the unity of electric and magnetic phenomena, is due to Hans Christian Ørsted and André-Marie Ampère in 1819-1820; Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm mathematically analysed the electrical circuit in 1827.[13] Electricity and magnetism (and light) were definitively linked by James Clerk Maxwell, in particular in his "On Physical Lines of Force" in 1861 and 1862.[14]
While it had been the early 19th century that had seen rapid progress in electrical science, the late 19th century would see the greatest progress in electrical engineering. Through such people as Nikola Tesla, Galileo Ferraris, Oliver Heaviside, Thomas Edison, Ottó Bláthy, Ányos Jedlik, Sir Charles Parsons, Joseph Swan, George Westinghouse, Ernst Werner von Siemens, Alexander Graham Bell and Lord Kelvin, electricity was turned from a scientific curiosity into an essential tool for modern life, becoming a driving force for the Second Industrial Revolution.[15]

toba: atheists are criminals also

what next?

toba: just like many atheists are

LagosShia: where is the moderator? an Islamic forum is turned into a pub where people talk like when they are drunk.

davidylan: Ifa, sango, orunmila... arent those myths as much as christianity is?

Ihedinobi: I'm not sure how the first statement leads to the second. And, please, could u indicate where in the Scriptures u drew the first statement from?


First bolded. How exactly did we mark out day and night and create a period of 24 hrs with elements of light and dark? Or the revolutions around the sun that we call the year? Or the revolutions of the moon about the earth that we call the month? How did we mark out these time intervals?
Second bolded. On what do you base the declaration that God is the past, present and future? And how is this a possibility?
Third bolded. What does this mean? That the pain of death is meaningless? That the full condemnation of the sin of every man, woman and child ever born, is being born or will yet be born being laid on one innocent man so that he pays the full price for all that sin is meaningless only because he rose again from the dead? Even with hair cut off, is there no loss just because it grows back?
Finally, a god cannot die. While I will not debate this statement, I will point out that you do not say what they are based on. However, certainly a god cannot die, but a man can, as Jesus Christ did.

I'm not sure how the first statement leads to the second. And, please, could u indicate where in the Scriptures u drew the first statement from?

justaqad: hehehehehehehehehehehehe
delusion

davidylan: So while obviously in a state of delirium from a bad flu... i have finally decided to turn a new leaf.

For starters... i sincerely and wholeheartedly apologize to every atheist here that i have in one way or the other described in unflattering terms. I say a huge sorry to you all as you are just as entitled to your own opinions as i am.

Never again will i use bad words to describe you... henceforth i will endeavour to discuss with all decorum and with utmost civility.

Once again unreserved apologies tendered.

thank you.

Ptolomeus: Thousands of years of fighting, and god has not been able to overcome Satan.
This clearly shows who has more power.
Or Satan is more powerful than god or that god is extremely weak.
There can be no other opinion, but are cited all the passages of the Bible.

My respects.

spicy v: Anony: macdaddy chlidish? Me thinks θf him as more on the delusional or confused side! And uum Ʊr so right! I have got to quit wasting my time with these beings!

spicy v: Macdaddy: I strongly advice that you stop speaking in public places as you lack the ability to comprehend stuff and have a deeper challenge with expressing your points in a comprehensive manner. Until you can work on overcoming these challenges, log out from all global atmosphere!

Not an insult but just an advice born out θf sympathy!!! I hope you heed!

TheShopKeeper: @OP...you will never get a direct answer to your question, because there is no evidence that 'islam is peace'.
Good luck in your quest to unravel the mystery.

Fulaman198: Ask yourself these qustions about Christianity...

Wife beating happens everywhere in the world, it happens quite a bit in the Western world too. However they use political terms like "Domestic Violence" to cover stuff like that up. A good man never beats his wife.

Again, I sense hypocrisy and hatred towards Islam in all your posts. What about the women raped in Iraq by Western CHRISTIAN troops? What about the abuse of prisoners by Westerners who are Christians? I urge you to stop the hypocrisy and use your brain. You can not blame a religion for peoples actions. What about the bombing of innocents with the Atomic bomb in WWII by Christians? We can go on all day, and I can give you examples.

Fulaman198: Obviously you have a reading comprehension problem. Before this little Skirmish in Mali, Mali was quite peaceful and hosted Festival in the desert every year in the Sahara in Timbuktu, Mali. People from Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso who also play Sahelian music were also invited. Westerners would often frequent this event. This was before Militants decided to ruin the beautiful nation of Mali.

So I repeat myself again since you dodge the question like a HYPOCRITE. Why is it that crime rates in these so-called Muslim nations are much lower to that in the majority Christian nations like America, France, England, Spain, Colombia, Italy, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, etc.? Explain that and quit dodging.

Fulaman198: When there are murders in America, or any country for that matter is majority Christian no one ever says it is because of Christianity. Whenever it is Islam, people always blame Islam and not the individual him/herself. It has nothing to do with religion, it is only how the individual behaves. However, for some reason you can't seem to comprehend this.

Which country in those countries I listed besides Mali (Mali has always been peaceful before then, they have many tourists who visit Timbuktu during the Festival in the Desert which was canceled this year) do you hear of people being gang members, shooting people to death, and stuff like that? The KKK is still around (Ku Klux Klan), do you hear people blaming Christianity for their evil doings?

Fulaman198: I think you are brainwashed by Western media, because you are a Westerner. If it wasn't for the Coup in Mali, it is an extremely peaceful place. Compare crime in these African Sahelian nations to crime in Western countries and you will see there is no comparison. Quit posting rubbish you don't know about.
