wirinet:When Toneyb discovered that I was once a christian on Nairaland and asked me what made me leave the belief system, Davidylan also came along and asked me what made me leave, Now that the same thing he asked me is being asked of Banom by Manmustwac he quickly tags it as "hate and having sleepless nights". Some times I wonder how he reasons . . . . |
aletheia:It can verified even in that era all you need to do is to present a space telescope and show it to them and they will verify it. Where is your evidence to verify that Jesus is the son of god that is presently sitting on the right hand of god or that mohammed is the last prophet of allah that ascended into heaven on a white horse? For your statement to be true at that time you will first of all have to explain what mars is and give them enough details about it before they can conclude if its true or false. Thus that which is true need not be verifiable or reproducible by the means at your disposal.You are just shifting your god into the realm of the unknown so that you can rationalize the hypothesis. 1000 AD People did not even know that there were planets orbiting the sun. In fact people do not even know what exactly the sun is because some of them were worshiping it at that time. Now we have people claiming that jesus christ who is the son of god is presently sitting at the right hand of god and jesus christ is god himself, such a statement requires belief because it can NEVER be verified. Jesus Christ is the Son of God is a true statement which certainly is not verifiable by the means at the disposal of the empiricist. That it requires belief doesn't render it untrue.Jesus christ is the son of god that is presently sitting on the right hand side of god is not a true statement because it can not be verified. It is only a claim. By the way the "truth" of your statement applies only to those that first of all have to accept the claim. It doesn't apply to those they do not accept it. Toneyb said that men can never give birth to children, That is a universal truth and it does not require belief and accepted world wide, The claim that jesus is the son of god is "true" only to the culture that buys into the claim and not true for another culture that does not buy into it. It is subjective. The truth is accepted universally. A car that runs on petrol can not travel 100km on an empty tank, that is a universal truth and does not require belief, Jesus is the son of god is a cultural/ regional belief. That you disbelieve doesn't make it untrue, just as disbelief in 1000 AD doesn't alter the truth of the statement "Mars has two moons."Mars has two moons and it does not require belief, back in AD 1000 if you make such a claim like mars has two moons you will first of all have to provide evidence to the people before they can believe or disbelief. saying that Jesus is the son of god that is sitting on the right hand of god without providing any evidence for the claim says it is not true? How do you know that for sure? Did god tell you personally that he has a son sitting on his right hand? Did the people that make the claim that jesus is the son of god presently sitting on the right hand of god provide any evidence to you? How do you know that jesus is the son of god? Did jesus personally tell you that himself or do you accept it because others said it? How do you know that the people that made that claim are not lying since jesus never wrote that he is the son of god and passed it unto others to read? Everything that jesus alleged said came from the writings of others how do you know that they were not lying? How do you know if jesus truly said he is the son of god since all what he supposedly said came from the writings of others? So how do you know that they are not lying considering the fact that they wrote decades after he died? You said: "So I agree the truth does not require belief."This is not for me but let me come in here and say that The truth that Mohammed is the last Prophet of allah does not require your belief. |
davidylan:Can you show me one hateful post from any atheist towards banom? Since hate is what drives your life you automatically think that every body is like you or should behave like you, So far most of the atheist here have wished him all the best and some even encouraged him. Where did you get this stupid and ridiculous assertion of yours that people are now "hateful" of him? I know you need to feel that others think and behave like you but some times you have to read what you type before sounding like a senseless and ridiculous drunk. Manmustwac said he was suprised at his conversion and asked why the change and all you did was tag it as hate? You are truly a deluded and hopeless bigot. |
PapaBrowne:False Nairaland is a website that exist where people come and interact with each other, through posts. You do not see a person in the form of Mazaje all you see is a user name called Mazaje. Try telling an old lady in the village about cyberspace and watch her reaction.If only you will take them to a computer they will see what you are doing and have an Idea of what you are saying. Can you take me to the Kingdom of darkness so that I can see what is going on over there? They give me that "where is Nairaland look?". They kind of wonder why I speak of it like like its a place. They don't just get it.You can actually take them to a computer and show them where what Nairaland is and they will see it. Can you take any body to the mythical Kingdom of darkness and show them where it is to see? Same way man. Same way that the uninitiated can't understand cyberspace is the same way that the uninitiated can understand the supernatural.The computer illiterate person can see a computer and see the nairaland page when it is displayed, Can you show or point to the Kingdom of darkness? Where exactly is it located? One of the strongest qulaities of intelligence is an open mind. The more open your mind is, the more likely you are to learn about new things and new ways.Open mind does not equate to accepting KNOWN myths as facts or realities. |

PapaBrowne:Where did I insinuate that in my post to neotic? You talk about cyberspace [/b]as a place that really exists right? All I want you to do is to describe how [b]cyberspace(Nairaland, Facebook, et al) looks like and how the people that reside in it look like. Isn't it funny that you keep talking about a place you've never visited, never seen, a place you cannot even describe . . . . . . .I don't know weather to laugh or cry at your very ridiculous analogy. When did I talk about any cyberspace at all? I can fully describe how nairaland and face book look like. Let me describe to you how nairaland looks like. The website has colours like, blue and grey, You can see alphabetical characters, and some images when you visit the site, you can see people's user names. People do not reside on nairaland. Pls describe to me how the mythical kingdom of darkness looks like, who are the people that reside there, how do they look and what is their estimated population. The same way you assume the kingdom of darkness noetic2 refers to is a figment of her imagination, is the same way Nairaland is a figment of your imagination.Nairaland is not a figment of my imagination because I can actually come here and interact with you and other people, How does one interact with the people that live in this mythical kingdom of darkness? What type of clothes do they wear in that kingdom and where is the kingdom located? |
My best posters for the year are Toneyb, Wirinet,Tudor, Huxley, Kag and Krayola - These guys are just too good. Viaro, Pastor AIO, Noetic, Davidylan, Jesoul, KunleOshob, Oladegbuu- Our Christian apologist friends on the other end that make this place worth visiting. Mushin, Olabs, and Oyb- Rational Muslims apologist with great sense of humor as already pointed out by Toneyb. Deepsight - Love his approach and style. Banom- Love his sense of humor and sincerity, great guy. |
Kay 17:The problem with the religionist is that they go around bandying their stories, myths and beliefs as facts or "truths" when they are not. The truth is the truth and it does NOT require belief at all. . . . |
noetic15:You talked about the kingdom of darkness as a place that exist right? All I want you to do is describe how the place looks like and how the people that reside in it look like, isn't it funny that you keep talking about a place you have never visited, never seen, a place you can not even describe. . . .yet you keep bandying this same mythical information as facts ![]() this must be the dumbest post i read todayOn this I 100% agree with you. . . . |
Obalende:Does the word secret counsel of the trinity exist in your bible?. . . . . . |
davidylan:I know. . .I said the tradition according to moslems began during the time of Ibrahim. . . |
noetic15:Do you know what a myth is neotic? You keep on bandying this kingdom of darkness myth. . . Where is this kingdom of darkness?. . .Is it a place? Who are those that reside in that kingdom and how can I see them? Since you claim to know pls can you help me and show me what that kingdom is located? |
davidylan:Are you sure. . .the tradition and the basis of performing the hajj stretches back to the time of Ibrahim according to the moslems and that point was noted by Olabs. . . .The story of Ibrahim which is the basis for the entire hajj is found in the koran not the hadith. . . . . . |
noetic15:Is that so? Did The bible God not know about the function of the priest when he addressed the public through a public address during the baptism of Jesus? |
davidylan:I was just trying to make a simple point. Here is a clearer translation of the passage. . . Jdg 1:1 After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Which tribe should attack the Canaanites first?" Jdg 1:2 The LORD answered, "Judah, for I have given them victory over the land." Jdg 1:3 The leaders of Judah said to their relatives from the tribe of Simeon, "Join with us to fight against the Canaanites living in the territory allotted to us. Then we will help you conquer your territory." So the men of Simeon went with Judah. Jdg 1:4 When the men of Judah attacked, the LORD gave them victory over the Canaanites and Perizzites, and they killed ten thousand enemy warriors at the town of Bezek. This translation from the NLT settles it. . . .The people of Israel asked Yahweh which tribe to go and fight against the Canaanites and he told them that the tribe of Judah was to go. . . .The people asked him according to the text and he answered them. . . How then did he answer them if not through a public address. . .The passages does not say a priest or a prophet was involved. . . .It says the people asked and yahweh answered. . . . |
noetic15:Exactly the point I was making. . .Why all the fuse. . here is the text again. . . Jdg 1:1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?" Jdg 1:2 The LORD answered, "Judah is to go; I have given the land into their hands." |
noetic15:I understand the need for you to be happy about these things. . .I personally do not care at all. . . If you read my statement to him I truly wished him all the best. . . .As regards to this mythical kingdom of darkness you are talkaing about all I can say is enjoy the delusion while it last ![]() |
davidylan:See you are adding to the text and saying what it does NOT say in other to rationalize the story. Where does it say in the text that Judah and Simeon were long dead? What do you mean by it would be meaningless to assume that two people alone fought an army of canaanites, I thought samson killed lost of men with only a piece of bone ? The text says that they went and killed the others and they had victory over them because yahweh had already promised them victory. It doesnt talk about them being long dead does it? Jdg 1:3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. Jdg 1:4 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men. Infact rather than a request to a person called Judah . . . God was asking the men of the lineage of Judah to war and they in turn requested the company of the tribe of Simeon.This supports what I said that Yahweh addressed them publicly. . . . This is just an example to show that some things in the bible are allegorical and are not to be taken literarily. God spoke to the Jews primarily through prophets and Judges.You choose to read it as an allegory another christian might not read it as that. By the way what is the basis for accepting a story as an allegory? The text does not give any indication as to that. The same bible also said that Yahweh addressed the Jews together at mount Sinai through a public address. . . . |
Witch burning in Africa. . . . [flash=400,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvurX-VMDsk&hl=en_US&fs=1&[/flash] |
davidylan:Same old worn out apologies. . . . Jdg 1:1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?" Jdg 1:2 The LORD answered, "Judah is to go; I have given the land into their hands." Its is very clear from the text that the Israelites asked their god in a group and he answered them. . . .since you were there when the event happened I will like you to tell us how he answered them if not through a public address. . . . |
aletheia:This was not directed at me but there are quite a number of places where yahweh addressed the people of Israel through a public speech. Yahweh is said to have addressed the jews at mount Sinai so what difference does it make? Jdg 1:1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?" Jdg 1:2 The LORD answered, "Judah is to go; I have given the land into their hands." |
olabowale:Olabs and his explanations. . . .Me thinks shaitan should have been dead by now with all these stones being thrown at him from millions of moslems year in year out. . . . Mohammed was truly a clever guy for inventing this scheme. . . . |
What is the purpose of the moslem's stoning the devil(shaitan) during the hajj? Does the moslem devil(shaitan) reside inside the ka'aba? |
I bet the dead pilgrim is now in aljanah having mindless sex with beautiful virgins all over the place and drinking wine from the rivers of wine that abound in allah's aljanah. . . .that is after he must have passed through the complusury brief stay in hell fire that was promised every moslem. . I laugh in arabic. . . ![]() |
wirinet:He desperately needs to believe it is a "big blow to you" so that his belief in his delusions can be sustained. |
davidylan:The same old deluded lies. . . . . |
0hsisi:Be quite thou deluded woman. . . . . Why didn't you question his reasons for being an atheist when he was one?To my understanding he was never an atheist you can read his previous posts they are there for you to read he was more angry with the so called men of god and sometimes use to question the veracity of the bible. Who are you to determine why people believe what they choose to believe or lack of beliefAgain shut up and be quite. . . . Is this not the same fool that is ALWAYS on the Islamic section constantly questioning the moslems and what they believe? I can't believe you are asking me this question since that is what you do ALL the time on the Islamic section. The guy says he has weighed atheism in the balance and found it wanting and has hereby thrashed it and rededicated his life to Christ and you want to kill yourself.I can now conclude that you are a senseless fool, did you bother to read my post at all or where you too much in a hurry to sound stupid as you always do all the time? Did you not read where I ENCOURAGED him to keep up with his new faith and wished him well? Where did this Foolish fool get the Idea that I was ''trying to kill my self'' . . . . |
banom:Again sorry for your lost but that is NOT a reason to become an atheist. . . .People face a lot of tragedy ALL the time. . .There are MANY stories of christian missionaries who died in ghastly motor accidents on their way to evangelize and were burnt beyond recognition all over the internet. . .Atheism is not being a state of anger with god/gods but a lack of belief in god/gods. . .Keep up your new faith if that will give you the happiness you need. . . . I wish you all the best. . . . . ![]() |
banom:So you became an atheist because you were angry your father died? . . . Sorry for your loss but that is a very very silly and senseless reason for one to become an atheist. . . Every body must die no? |
noetic15:Do you have any evidence for this mythical hell? . . . .Heaven and hell both have an apparent straightforward purpose, and that is to motivate people to believe, keep believing and to evangelize to "save" other people according to the religion they subscribe to(Christianity or Islam). It is the carrot-and-stick method of persuasion. The carrot and stick are only imagined, but the proposed reward and punishment are both extreme enough to compensate for the lack of evidence and sensibility of the myth. |
