Religion / Re: Understanding Religious Delusions. by mazaje(m): 11:48pm On Nov 26, 2014 |
FOLYKAZE: Pls can you tell me the content of the post and when it was edited?. . .You are obviously foolish. Firstly, I made the post at that time because I wanted students to come over to Finland and school because universities were free for all students including international students and I made my post. I was actually a new bee so I posted all my personal details there. The post contained the school websites(my school then) and included my full names address in Finland,Phone number and how I could be contacted because I felt Nigerians needed the opportunity. Later I noticed that people who had no business with schooling but who just wanted to leave Nigeria were just calling me and disturbing my life, so I edited the post and removed all my contact details.I actually created two topics with that regards, here is the link to the other one. https://www.nairaland.com/44281/school-free-finland. (from the post you'll see that one of the guys thatresponded was actualy thanking me for the information I gave) Never asked any body for any money and never needed any. The rest of your rants are just laughable. We will meet in Nigeria and when we do, you'll see for yourself who mazaje is. . . 4 Likes |

FOLYKAZE: When people give you their definitions you refuse to accept it , you bring your own definition and try to force it as the general standard for all to accept, this seems to be your tactics all the time. . . Here is the STANDARD definition of atheism from Wikipedia. . . Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist. Atheism is contrasted with theism,[which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism Atheism is also lack of belief in gods, by gods here I mean deities(You know that very well). . .When you talk about an art work being god or a Fela as god then you are not talking about theism or atheism and you aren't making any point when it comes to atheism. . . |

Am from a very religious family. . My mum is a religious fanatic that can not be reasoned with what so ever. logic and reason when it comes to issues of religion means nothing to her(fear and irrational indoctrination is what drives her when it comes to religion), she is an end of day enthusiast(she seriously believes we are in the end of days and Jesus will return during her life time, she TRULY believes that 10000%). . .My siblings are also religious the Nigerian way. . . My friends in Nigeria don't give a damn. I move with people in the higher end of the social ladder, most aren't so religious, some of the muslims are more observant of their religious creeds than the christians but over all they don't care much.To them all we need to do is just keep making money, because that is the only real GOD in Nigeria, the rich know that very well. . . So my friends over all are not so religious but religious all the same. . .My girl friend is the only one that knows am completely irreligious in Nigeria and she doesn't care. . .She calls me a pagan (I love her to death). . .Here in Europe people don't care, even the Nigerians here aren't that religious, the very religious ones are also tolerant, if you tell them you are an atheist they just say "You sef don join them abi?" and the discussion, engagement or transaction you are engaged in with them continues, they won't avoid you or demonize you the way they will if you were in Nigeria. The are very tolerant because most of the whites around are not religious. . .They notice that even though the whites are not religious they seem morally superior to them, so that has affected how they reason or see religion as a whole. . .Life out here in general has really changed their mindset. . .I was surprised to see some muslim Nigerians living here saying that gays should be left alone and should not be imprisoned. . .Staying here really has a way of opening people's minds and making them tolerant and makes them to accommodate other people's life style that differs from theirs. . . 41 Likes 4 Shares |
Religion / Pope Francis Declares Evolution And Big Bang Theory Are Right by mazaje(m): 5:50pm On Oct 28, 2014 |
The theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not “a magician with a magic wand”, Pope Francis has declared. Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the “pseudo theories” of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, Benedict XVI. Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator – arguing instead that they “require it”. “When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,” Francis said. He added: “He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment. Pope Francis has come up with 10 tips for a happier life “The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it. “Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.” The Catholic Church has long had a reputation for being anti-science – most famously when Galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his “heretic” theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-declares-evolution-and-big-bang-theory-are-right-and-god-isnt-a-magician-with-a-magic-wand-9822514.html This new Pope no wan rest. . . |

Now back to Dr Eben Alexander. . .The guy claimed there are is a multi universe when he visited heaven. . .He claimed he was shown that in heaven. . .He says that there are other universes, with less "evil" then ours, and that some are more technologically advanced. He is talking about how we are one of many universes with people living in it, and that our Earth, is a unique one spiriually in that it has more evil in it. However, if any of the other universes had people in them and anyone who had committed any sin, they would need a saviour. Would god also send his son through the process of being guilty for the world more then once again? Would he be able to go back to his position as a man on other planets as a physical body when his real body was up in heaven as the conquering king who had overcome sin and death, who held the keys of death and hades? He also tosses out that evil was made so that there could be free will. What does the bible say about other universes, and the things this man mentions? Does it line up with what is written in the bible?. . Not just the feelings of love and all the nice sounding stuff, but the actual ideas presented in his account.

BraveGuy: The man is a fraud and a liar. . .When confronted by other experts he quickly changed his story. . The claim that his neocortex was totally kaput during his coma is the principal — in fact only — scientific hook on which he hangs “Proof of Heaven”: “During my coma my brain wasn’t working improperly — it wasn’t working at all.” If his brain was not functioning, the consciousness that rode the “butterfly through paradise” existed outside the body, and the door to immortality is wide open. So far, so logical. Only Dr. Alexander has already changed position on this issue. We probably have Sam Harris to thank for that. Harris, author of “The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation,” responded to Dr. Alexander’s Newsweek piece by seeking the opinion of neuroscientist Mark Cohen, whose reply was unequivocal. According to Cohen, the neocortical inactivity described by Dr. Alexander is “brain death, a 100 percent lethal condition.” By the time I met Dr. Alexander and mentioned his inactive neocortex, his line had changed. He told me, “Well, the thing is I would not say completely inactive.” [i]Only, he did. It is in his book. But with me, Dr. Alexander essentially conceded Harris’s point, adding, “There’s no way that [the neocortex] gave me that incredibly rich odyssey that I remember.”[/i] http://www.salon.com/2012/11/26/dr_eben_alexanders_so_called_after_life/ |

BraveGuy: He is not a respected neurosurgeon anywhere, he is a liar who was just trying to use religious faith to make some cool cash by publishing a book based on lies and fiction. . . Over the course of the past 12 years, he has apparently worked at three separate hospitals, but his employment has ended without explanation at each location. Here’s a sample surrounding his departure from one of the hospitals he once worked at: In August 2003, UMass Memorial suspended Alexander’s surgical privileges “on the basis or allegation of improper performance of surgery.” (The specifics of the case leading to the suspension are confidential, though Alexander claims it resulted from “a very complex repeat operation I did around the brain stem of a patient in which the patient had more difficulty recovering after the operation I would say than I anticipated and than I led them to believe.”) His suspension technically ended in November of that same year, but he never went back to work at UMass Memorial. He resigned. The following year he did a little freelance consulting for the Gerson Lehrman Group, a company that matches corporations with experts in various fields, and also filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, claiming it improperly withheld more than $400,000 of his retirement and deferred-compensation plans. He had been more or less out of work for fifteen months when, in March 2005, he received a letter from the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine asking him to respond to a complaint form they’d received from a former patient who was upset that Alexander had stopped responding to phone calls. Alexander wrote a letter back, explaining that the complaint was invalid because he was no longer practicing and that, furthermore, he would soon be leaving the state altogether. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/03/did-the-famed-neurosurgeon-who-claims-he-saw-god-and-visited-heaven-lie-article-exposes-alleged-inconsistencies/ He was actually a Dr without a job until he devised a means to sell a lie using religious faith to make cool cash. . .All he is doing is what you and others do all the time, which is to tell lies for Jesus. . .Even he himself had had to change some of his stories when confronted by other experts. . . 4 Likes 1 Share |
