Pete Edochie can say what he wants; it is his freedom of speech. No feminist group is owed any apology from him, and no organization or man should succumb to any feminist pressure group to persecute that man for expressing his own ideas. Who are they to demand an apology from him? ![]() |
Martinez39s:On a more serious note, HealerH didn't specify his god, but he did say ''And I'll tell you this truth, whereas I discovered God by His grace in me and also through my extraterrestrial reflection on his creation,... He also insinuated that pastors are given their wealth through god, and we know the god pastors claim to serve. For someone who talks about an elusive god, it is important that you identify your god and communicate his attributes, so that people can properly scrutinize your god claim. I listed abrahamic gods and religions in my earlier post because in this part of the world and in most places, they are the major or only forms of theism and the starting point of many in their knowledge of god. |
hopefulLandlord: HealerH won't see this. |
continued... HealerH:You said a lot here without saying anything tangible or reasonable. These gibberish and piffle do not explain why god opted for this world whereas he could have done much better. They also do not explain his indifference and inability to intervene in the situations I listed earlier. You just said huge nonsense that only idi0ts or people who want to believe or keep believing in god will accept; this is because they lack good reasons to believe in god, so anything will do. In fact there is no good reason to believe in a religious god. The thrid definition of evil (which itself is a false definition of evil) is corporal evil. It relates in some way to the second definition of evil. In this third evil, I'll be using the word "Bad" as a synonym of "Evil" for grammatical reasons. (You'll accept with me that it's more grammatically correct to say someone has a bad tooth than say the person has an evil tooth).This is irrelevant to mention. When people talk about the problem of evil and the existence of god, no one brings up the issue of using bleaching cream, or other trivial stuffs like smoking. You are deliberately being disingenuous because you and I know that humans label these things bad, not ''evil'' as you claim, because of the adverse effects they can have if we overly indulge in them. They label them bad for cogent reasons, not for subjective or arbitrary reasons. You and I also know that the overwhelming majority, except hard core anti-black racists, do not see dark skin as bad or inherently evil. Many people are wired to perceive fair ladies to be more beautiful. That's why a lot of girls use bleaching cream to increase their attraction. Know this: Whatever you are born into is not evil. Whatever you are born with is not evil. Are you born blind, you're not evil neither is the blindness evil/bad. The question is, "are you a human being?" Must someone have eyes to be a human being? When talking about corporal evils, try to differentiate "what you have" from "what you are".This is an insensitive, selfish and callous thing to say. People who say nonsense like this are usually not afflicted with the things they are trivializing; it is until they get a taste of it that they come to their senses. You don't suffer like a blind person that is why you are typed this nonsense. Blindness is bad, congenital inability to walk or hear is bad, sickle cell disease is bad, etc. I can list more and more. I am sure that if you were born crippled, deaf and you had cerebral palsy, you would think lowly of god if he appeared to you and said ''I could have corrected your suffering and limitations with my power, but I left you this way since you are still human anyway. Your condition isn't bad and the most important thing is that you are human.'' If you are not the selfish type and callous type, which I doubt, you would also be angry, confused and disappointed if god told you this concerning your child or sibling who is suffering from these. The question is ''if god is all-powerful, all-loving, and can change/prevent these things, why are these things occurring even to ardent and kind-hearted believers both young and old?'' Atheist 3: Imagine Pastor John has 5 private jets; Pastot Judas has 8; Pastor Zacharia even bought a Lamborghini for a sex worker. This people can't be men of God. So God don't exist.No atheist uses the opulent lifestyles of clergies to disprove the existence of god. Unlike what you are insinuating, god doesn't give jets, mansions, luxurious cars etc. to pastors The wealth of clergymen which is gotten from the donations, offerings, seeds, tithes etc. of their members (thanks to their beliefs and gullibility.) who are not as rich is seen as a strong indication that church is nothing but business and the pastors are using the belief in god to cash out big time. The fact that members are encourage to sow seeds and tithe when they seek an increase from the divine, but these pastors seek a donation when they need something raises great suspicion. This suspicion and the way pastors use belief in god to cash out at the expense of their congregations might make one examine one's beliefs objectively to ensure god is real, the holy books are true and that one is not being taken for a ride. It is this objective and critical examination and scrutiny of one's beliefs that usually renders him an atheist. There's a difference between "a God" and "God". A God is a particular religion's (or a particular person's) experience of God. God is what He is independently of any religion or opinion.You are creating an unnecessary confusion and definition. Just simply concede the obvious truth that people simply believe in different gods. hopefullandlord, 1Sharon, guruinfinite, judybash93, IAmMicheal, Thereddevil, Ketamine9000mg, MrColdsweat, MikeofKd, senchibi, Judgemrntyard, SunshineV, KillGod, akinlolu26624, Jashub |
HealerH:There is no confusion or irrationality in atheism. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods and deities; this lack of belief is virtually due to the absence of solid evidence and sound argument for the existence of any gods or deities. No believer has ever presented any of these. Mind you, I'm a lover of humans. I try my best to show humans the way... It's my way of healing the world. As a lover of humans, I'm not an enemy of atheists because I suppose they're humans. I'm only trying to show them the way for I see them like my little brethren that need to be educated.Very well then, let's see the education you have in store for us. ![]() Am I sounding too arrogant? Per favore. Atheism is a failed quest to discover God through critical reasoning. I discovered God through critical reasoning. Why I no go boast? You don't expect me to go around fire and not sweat.Atheism is not a quest to discover god; it never was. It's simply the lack of belief in any deity due to lack of evidence and lack of sound argument for any deity's existence. You don't believe in the a pink, invisible, ageless, unicorn playing endlessly on planet Neptune for the very same reason atheists don't belief in gods: there is no reason to believe such; no evidence for such, no sound argument for the existence of such. It will be ridiculous to say that your lack of belief in that unicorn is a fail quest of some sort. So this is how I'll develop this post. I'll be updating it regularly with my new findings on atheism.I wonder what these findings on atheism are. The absurdity in Atheism.It is true that we don't experience everything and we operate on assumptions and intuition in many cases; however, this doesn't mean that any claim a man makes or believes in should be readily accepted without evidence. It doesn't really make the god you believe in real. You can't say god is real by faith because we believe in certain things that are true by trust. Over a hundred gods are believed in by faith, which is the true god? If faith is a reliable tool, why did it lead to different gods? Either one is correct or all are wrong. By the way, we have good reasons to trust doctors: modern medicine works, they keep on producing results, we are aware of their limitations and they are therefore reliable. Besides, if I trust that the two loving people comfortably raising me are my biological parents and I turn out to be wrong, it has no bearing on my eternal destination in the supposed afterlife and I lose nothing much. If it turns out that my blind trust in the scientists' report that we breathe in oxygen is wrong, I lose nothing and my life moves on without any consequences on the eternal destination of my supposed soul. (Let's pretend to ignore the fact that science is based on evidence, science works; if any scientific fact was wrong, someone can point it out with evidence and win the Nobel Prize and cash that comes with it. Finally a hypothesis must have passed the burden of proof to be rendered a scientific fact. SO THERE ARE GOOD REASONS TO TRUST SCIENCE.) However, god's existence is of utmost importance as a belief or disbelief in his existence has serious consequences, both to a believer's eternal destination and to his/her system of religious beliefs. Hence, it is pertinent that a proof of god be demanded. Besides, there are many gods out there. Wouldn't evidence be useful in locating the real god so that we don't worship the wrong god and end up in the ''hell fire'', if any, of the true god? If there are no gods or if at least the religious god of a particular believer doesn't exist, wouldn't it render the believer's holy book and belief system false? For example, if people realize that Jesus never existed, wouldn't it render the bible false and reveal it to be a compilation of fables? Given that it's god's will that a right belief in his existence ensures our salvation and the all-powerful and loving god really wants us to be saved and avoid the nameless infamy and endless torture and torment in hell, rightfully and understandably asking (him) evidence for his existence isn't so much to ask. An all-knowing god knows what will convince a man of his existence, an all-powerful god can easily do what will convince a man of his existence, and an all-loving god wants every man to be saved to avoid the eternal suffering and torment of hell. Given this, isn't it suspicious that there is no shred of evidence or sound argument for his existence? Human life shows no evidence of divine presence or intervention, and events always occur and proceed as one would expect if a god (especially an intervening and all-loving one) doesn't exist and humans are left to fend for themselves as they are hopelessly subject to the laws of the natural world, laws that will never be suspended for the sake of anyone. <====================> Atheist 2 : If God exists, why does evil exist?You wasted this paragraph rambling about what I don't know when you could have just gone straight to the point. God and Evil? Who told you evil exist? And how did the person define "evil" for you?A spurious argument! Religious gods, especially abrahamic gods, have repeatedly promised protection for their followers and those that abide in them. Given these promises and the fact that abrahamic gods do purportedly intervene in human affairs (usually in a range of manifestations from direct utterances, or through a prophet, to supposed signs, miracles and wonders.) and clearly answers prayer as promised or as seen in instances in the holy book, it is safe to ask why grave injustice, great misfortune, and evil exist, even against ardent and kindhearted believers? Why all these despite his promises and instances of miraculous intervention in the bible and other holy books? Given his attributes and well defined capabilities, why would he seemingly fold his arms when a little christian boy or girl is brutally raped? If the christian god rained down manna from heaven and caused water to come out of a rock, how come there are christians who starve or even die of hunger? Why does the self-proclaimed almighty and great healer seemingly do nothing when christians, however young or old, perish painfully and die of terminal diseases despite their prayers to him and faith? (Ephesians 3 vs 20, Jeremiah 32 vs 27, Matthew 7 vs 7) Shouldn't the case be different for the children of the almighty? The same miraculous protection he gave Daniel against the lions, the load of miracles, the battle he fought against the enemies of his people, or the same healing he gave to many in the bible is never seen in the life of any christian? I could list more and more instances, but my arguments will suffice; if they don't, then you couldn't be helped in the first place. Atheist: Bu, bu, but God created me. So as a handiwork of God, whatever comes out of me, evil or bad, has their origin in God.You must have a third eye to see unalloyed goodness in the eyes of a baby where others see corneas, pupils, iris and sclera. How do you know what you are seeing in a child's eyes is pure goodness if not that you made yourself believe such? You can say babies are harmless and innocent; we know this is because their minds know little or nothing and they can't do much and are utterly dependent. Can you say this is the way god created humans and intended them to remain? To be clueless, naive, incapable and highly dependent on adult humans for even the most basic activity like bathing and properly defecating? By the way, do you know babies lack a belief in any gods? Should we also remain like babies in this aspect? Man learnt evil the same way he learnt about god; however, we know human beings, most at least, are wicked because we have the capacity to understand good and evil yet we keep towing the evil route: isn't this the way the creator made man? Why cunningly act like if god made man to be only kind-hearted and wise in deeds then we lose our freewill? If god created man to be good and man turns out bad, isn't he a failed creator? We don't have a choice on the nature of our gender, sexual orientation, skin colour, or height yet you agree that we have freewill? Why can't you admit that we would have freewill even if we are naturally made kind-hearted and wise? Now there's a second definition of evil I normally should ignore but I fear most atheists here are not intelligent enough to know it's a false definition of evil. It's the "natural evil". The one I just discussed is the human evil.The problem is that god created nature and life and supposedly overseers his creation. Earthquake, tornado, volcanic eruptions that kill and bury people in lava, all forms of terminal cancer, HIV, ALS, famine and draught, birth defects, hereditary diseases, incurable diseases and defects, presence of predators or animals/insect that can poison and/or kill men were all created by god. If the all-powerful god, I mean the all-loving god who made us the focus of creation by making us in his image and sending his son to suffer and die for humans, (something he never did for any other specie.) wanted to create a better world for humans, he could have easily done it. Isn't it then safe to say that the world is the way it is because god wanted it that way or he doesn't just care? If he permits and settles on this evil world, they we must ask what kind of god is he? A good god worth acknowledging or a monster/brutally indifferent god not worth any acknowledgement? Also this observation is important to believers, especially adherents of abrahamic religions, because it brings up credible and sound suggestions: that their god is nonexistent, humans are not the center of creation (which negates the holy books), and we are just imperfect, insignificant creatures (like other creatures) in the grand scheme of things and we are left to fend for ourselves without the help of any divine deity while being subject to the laws of nature. This suggestion are hardly irrefutable, and they are sufficient to crumble the faith of any believer. ''Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. ''Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. ''Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? ''Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?'' --- Epicurus (BC 341-270) to be continued .... hopefullandlord, 1Sharon, guruinfinite, judybash93, IAmMicheal, Thereddevil, Ketamine9000mg, MrColdsweat, MikeofKd, senchibi, Judgemrntyard, SunshineV, KillGod, akinlolu26624, Jashub |

I approve this.

Junnior:Your analogy does not work. Jay Z is also a business man and he is twice as rich as Beyonce. Why would he be insecure?
|
Junnior:No one is saying you should sabotage your wife's progress. We are only telling you the reality of what happens when a woman surpasses her man, the consequential change in power dynamics, and the monster she shall become. This has nothing to do with being insecure or sabotaging someone to make yourself feel better; the monster your woman will become is a hell you will have to deal with whether you were a good husband or not. Many people underestimate, or are oblivious to, the hell they would face if they found themselves in such situation; they don't understand that what good thing they might have done for their wives in the past won't matter to their wives when she surpasses them; it won't save them from the resentment, insult, and disrespect their wives would give them. Many underestimate how brutally ungrateful women can be and the extent to which they view and treat us like disposable utilities. Also, let's desist from trying to be moral champions with this red pill stuff. Red pill is mainly concerned with truths about female nature and the dating market; nothing more, nothing less. The red pill is not a moral creed. If that's what you mean, I disagree. I would let her succeed all she wants by herself. She can leave afterwards if she likes. It's not a do-or-die affair.Every mallam to his own kettle. You make it look so easy, and there are many factors and scenarios you fail to consider. Well, it's only experience that can make you understand; I don't have such experience, never will, and I hope you won't. Good day; every mallam to his kettle. |
What kind of reasoning is this? Go do the DNA test. There is a possibility that you have a son that needs a father figure in his life. |
SeekerofTruth1:Had it been he calmed down and removed emotions aside, he would have handled the situation better. Despite many clarification and how many times it was pointed that Chii59 was playing the victim card, he insisted that redpillers are bastardizing the red pill by conflating it with bullying and he wants nothing to do with it. He wanted to appear right, but he didn't do his diligence. Even if he did, he had already developed a soft spot for Chii59 as I noticed from their conversations in another thread; who knows if they speak offline and the level of their correspondence? Too bad he deactivated and is no longer part of the wonderful thread he created. |
JESHAL:Bullśhit! I know for a fact that glycolysiss developed a soft spot for that silly, infantile, and ego-filled attention whòre called Chii59. I noticed this in a another thread from their discussion. Glycolysiss, in a simpish fashion, and like other men here, ignored the bad attitude, habitual foul language and rudeness of Chii59, which prompted the backlash she rightfully received, and instead he attributed blame to the redpillers who gave that slut a taste of her medicine. He fell for the victim card that Chii59 and the odious fishwife magnoliaá were playing. Too bad he let his emotions get the better of him. I also noticed a long time ago, at the start of this thread, that glycolysiss weak point is his emotions. |

I didn't bother reading the whole thing. If there is evidence against the boys, they should be punished; these boys are entitled to the presumption of innocence until they are proven guilty. |

truespeak:SMH. Bros, eh! when you ask a person to give evidence on or of himself, to you, whether solid or liquid, does that not require that the person explain himself to you? Abi how im wan take provide the evidence na?Your god doesn't need to explain himself to provide evidence. The bible already explained god to a great extent; all that I ask is solid and irrefutable evidence of his existence. Let me give an analogy. I don't need Sherlock Holmes to explain himself to me; Conan Doyle's novel on him already did to a great extent. However, if I must believe Sherlock Holmes was a real person, I would need evidence/proof of his existence. Get it? [s]Bros, you, creation dey "demand" from your Creator make im give you, creation, explanation whether you wan call am evidence, of imself and E make sense to you![/s]Evidence for existence is not a detail explanation of one's being, will, method and nature. You are just being very stupid. Even your small-small children wey still be fellow creations like you, if dem ask you, say "Bros, how old you be? or "Bros, where you come from sef? E dey vex you, now na come your creation, go com dey ask you all these kain question!Asking a creator's age or origin is different from asking evidence of his existence. Besides, the bible already informed us that god is ageless and timeless, he has been there since the very beginning, and he is the source of all things; however, we are yet to see evidence of his existence. Not even the bible provides such evidence as much as a spiderman comic book is not evidence of spiderman's existence. I know you, being a very silly man, will let all these simple explanations fly over your head. Besides, why will you be angry if your kids ask for your age or place of origin? Know thy place if thou art wise!Silly man. You are making an offense out of asking sound, legitimate questions. |
Skepticus:I wish I could see the comment section of that video. Dude spoke some facts. Too bad I am not on Instagram. Edit: I downloaded the app and saw the comments. |
truespeak:You must be very stupid. •• Is explaining himself to me necessarily the same as giving solid and irrefutable evidence of his existence? •• What is wrong, criminal or sinful about demanding that a supposed "creator" whom I have never seen, heard, experienced or felt and for whom there is no evidence should provide solid and irrefutable evidence of his existence before I can believe in him? •• In what universe is blind faith rational?
|
Can god give us irrefutable and sound evidence for his existence? |

SuperBold:The little boys, teenage boys and adult male victims nko? |
fnep2smooth:LOL. THERE IS NO GOD. THE EARLIER YOU REALISE THIS, THE EARLIER THE BETTER. An omnipotent and all-loving god will sit and watch as a teenage girl with great zeal for him get kidnapped, raped, and tortured for years? If these rumours are true, imagine the mental anguish and trauma Leah must have endured; also imagine how numb, bitter and mentally/emotionally wrecked she would be from the encounter if she is eventually rescued. For once put yourself in her shoes and realise this could have happened to any teenage female with Leah's mindset and faith when captured by Boko Haram; it could even be your sister. You and I are not special. I won't be surprised if she is no more a believer. Chances are that two pregnancies doesn't mean she was raped twice: she could have been raped almost all day by different men taking their turns; you know male Muslim extremists and rape are like 5 & 6. Oga, the universe is the way it is if there are no gods, supernatural entities/realms, supernatural intervention in human life, and humans are left alone to fend for themselves while being subjected to the nature and the fortunes and misfortunes it brings. Despite the great noise about God's existence and the transcendence of his power, events ALWAYS occur and proceed as one would expect if there are no gods, supernatural entities/realms, supernatural intervention in human life, and humans are left alone to fend for themselves while being subjected to the nature and the fortunes and misfortunes it brings.

A lot of people won't listen to this. They will think you are evil or insecure when you try to keep your wife below you; they don't know that the problem isn't you but the monster your woman will invariably become when she surpasses you. God help you if you are having a hard time financially. All the extra sacrifices you made for her out of love in the past will not matter to her when she surpasses you, and it won't stop the insults, disrespect, and disdain she will give you. Even if you donated one of your kidneys to save her life in the past, it makes no difference. I pray no one learns this the hard way. SOZINN: |

Jessepaid:I am glad you benefited. I might get back to you on Sunday evening for some tips. |
CaveAdullam:Notice how everything is centred around women and how they (politicians) want to mimic the western world in order "not to be left behind"; that's gynocentrism in motion. Also notice how they talked about "women protection"; this is a vague phrase that could mean almost anything thing disastrous to a man, especially those in a relationship or cohabitation with a woman: it could be an exact replica of the biased domestic violence laws in the west, the alimony/divorce laws in west, the common-law couple stuff, etc. The sad thing is that if these laws are instituted now, marriages that were solemnized before the advent of these laws will be subjected to these laws during a divorce initiated after these laws were established. Ask many American men who got married in a traditional fashion before certain marital laws were established. That's one of the reasons I shake my head at those that want to marry in Nigeria: they don't know what the laws might be in ten years time. They are only thinking about now. E dey sweet them to born pikin and be the powerful and respected red-pill patriarch in a traditional setting... the pleasurable happily ever after of many. There are many good reasons I don't want to get married. Even if most people don't share them, they should at least look at the legal bombs feminists are preparing for men who will walk down the aisle. Men, protect yourself. Hard times create strong men; strong men create good times; good times create weak men; weak men create hard times. The cycle continues till humanity ceases to exist. We are currently in good times which created pathetic, weak men (simps, wimps, hopeless manginas) and they have created, via their complacency, disunity, and stupidity, a gynocentric world which is getting more gynocentric with time.
