I rest my case sir

that's exactly what's wrong with Nigeria. You know he's a corrupt and inept leader. Yet, you convince yourself that because he's from your tribe or religion you must vote for him. And yet, you expect others to vote for him just because you said so.

Only in Nigeria.

Lots of things happening today. This APC guys always sticking their necks everywhere, but the conclusion is that Jonathan must win this year..

[Vote with sense
Vote Jonathan for President

"Jonathan must win" Why? what happens if he doesn't win? what has the useless man done to deserve 4 more years (unless if you are one of those paid thugs of his), the man has kept none of his promises. What a disappointment I must confess.

traware: What courses do these your women outperform men in?Home Improvement? or Engineering?What purpose will it serve for women to be smarter than men?Why are the majority of physically appealing women intellectually blunt? and why are the majority of the ugly ones intelligent? Why is your post filled with lies?Read the book "The Manipulated Man" by Esther Vilar to get all the answers to the questions I asked before coming on here to put up posts filled with lies.There has been no mainstream study showing men to be smarter than women because of the 'political correctness' that exists in many parts of Europe and north America

I'm not trying to insult you or something but I've got few questions:

Are you married?
Would you consider yourself more intelligent than your?
How do you know your answer to the above is true?
Have you considered she may be manipulating you into thinking you are smarter?
How many sisters do you have?
are they all intellectually blunt?

You should reread The Manipulated Man if you need to. As for me, I don't need it. None of the women in my life try to manipulate me - not my wife, mother or sisters. My relationship with my wife is that of partnership (equal, I must add).

Now, back to my questions. I'll need you to answer them truthfully smiley

Weah96:

So why is it that Judit Polgar is something like 0-15 in classical chess games against reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen?

While the male brain has been scientifically shown to be 10% larger, the female brain is far more effective according to science and research.

Your example is anecdotal fallacy at best. So let me commit my own "person who" fallacy too. How many classic chess players do you know personally? A course mate of mine was a member of our university chess club. I can't say how good the team was as a whole (I don't like chess), but I can tell you the guy was not the top performer in my class.

Not sure about the scientific aspect of Judit Polgar vs Magnus Carlsen. More men play chess so the chances of a man being #1 is far grater. chess playing, I think is more of an acquired or adapted skill. Just like cooking! smiley

Bottom line, people are intelligent in many different ways.

GreyBlood: yeah! I guess that's her name.

I never alleged women being dumb embarassed, I'm just stressing that atheism requires some level of hardwork, erudity,intellectual toughness and breaking away from the norm to be able to withstand the challenges to be encountered in defending ones belief. These might be too much for some women to contain. Hence, women are more of agnostics than atheists.

You should stop digging! grin just apologize and move on.

But regarding intellect, I've not seen any mainstream study that shows men to be smarter than women. not one.
If you look at University enrollment data in Europe and America you'll see women outperform men.

That's quite an interesting angle. Surely you must believe in something. Nature abhors vacuums, so there must be something you believe in. Some believe in self, some science, others nature etc.

@op, I know just one female NL atheist. MissMeiya. There may be more

Why do you think someone "Must" believe in something to get through life?
What exactly do you think you have as a xtion or muslim that an atheist does not have?
Please name the types of cancels or sickness that someone that believes in God never has but atheist does.

If you look deep down inside you'll realized you're wasting your time following whatever you follow or belief in.

egopersonified: I will just make him sit there while I prepare his meal, then feed him well. After an hour,i ll go to the nearest tree and cut 3 good canes, lay him in the filth, pull down his trousers and flog the skin off his butt. Then its off to bath him, give him paracetamol and off to bed.

I sure hope you don't have kids. What would flogging him achieve?
The worse I'll do is have them clean the place with me (I see two kids in the picture). Trust me, it would make a far more interesting thing to talk about when they grow up.

MEILYN: Are u a Muslim?

Because even Muslims believe in the Immaculate Conception.

The short answer to your question is no, I'm not a Muslim. And of course, the Muslim believe in immaculate conception considering the Quran is a direct copy of the bible.

I’m an Atheist and I'm familiar with all the major religions –Born a Christian, my Gramp was a pastor. Parent are born again (mother was a Muslim before marriage so I have lots of Muslim uncles and aunts which is common in western Nigeria).

My wife's side on the other hand is a different story – from straight-out flag carrying atheists to orthodox Jews, orthodox Christians and born again Xtians smiley

haibe:

Ah! ogashocked

So what is this sign about?


Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a
sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.

What's so miraculous about an unmarried person giving birth?

Here is where the confusion comes in. The Hebrew word used in Isaiah 7:14 is "Almah". This does not mean virgin, all it means is a young woman (without a child yet) she could be a virgin, or not. All girls of the age of puberty are considered Almah until their first child. All of a sudden the the Christians decided to say Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus.

She went on to have a minimum of 6 more children.

The immaculate conception was made up by his followers (presumably after his death) just so they can fit him in to the prophesy of Isaiah.
If you read all his statement you'll never see him calling himself "son of God" anywhere.

SUNNY45: @Meandsum: as much as i like your arguments(in a way), It is not in your place to say a story in the bible was made up even when proven scholars have not been able to categorically state so

Actually, it's the other way around. Only few scholars claim the events in the bible (up to Hezekiah) are factually correct. Even after him and during his time there were attempts at embellishing facts(his meeting with Sennacherib comes to mind).

Can you explain where Cain got his wife with your inner mind? Not that i agreed that Satan could literally speak to a person but the points the OP made are somewhat valid.

Forget about that. Ask him to tell us where Joseph father of Jesus went after his birth. We know he didn't die because Jesus had at least 3 younger brothers and two sisters. I suppose they are all from the same husband.

While they're at it, they should also tell us who saved Joseph the dreamer from being killed by his brothers. Was it Judah or Reuben. Lots of confusion from God I can see.

jasmine01s: This scared me
Just read it
This is true.
From Madinah,... Sheikh Ahmed has sent this news. On a Friday, Sheikh Ahmed fell asleep reading the Quran, then he dreamt the Prophet Muhammed (saw) standing infront of him and saying that in one week, 70,000 people died, but not even one was a true Muslim.
None did what Allah wanted.
He also said, "Now is a bad time.
These days, wives don't look after their husbands, girls go around without being covered. They do not respect parents or others, the rich do not look after the poor, they do not give gifts or money and they do not fulfill." He also said, "Make people understand so that they give zakaat, do prayer and keep fast.
The day of judgement is near.
When there is a single star in the sky, straight away the path of forgiveness will close. The writing in the Holy Quran will disappear (vanish).
The sun will lower itself on Earth."
The Prophet also said, "Whoever reads this news to someone else, I WILL MAKE HIM A PLACE IN PARADISE ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AND IF SOMEONE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS NEWS IT TRUE, THEY WILL BE BANISHED FROM PARADISE!
If a poor person gives out this news to other people, his/her good wish will come true." Sheikh Ahmed said, "If this is not true then my death will be off a Non-Muslim." The Prophet said, "KEEP FAST, DO PRAYERS, GIVE ZAKAAT AND BE KIND TO THE POOR."
Whoever forwards this will get his/her reward in 3 days.
One person forwarded it to 40 people and he got 8,000,000, take profit in his business .....
PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN! We are humans but if your bad or do bad things there will be consequences. Early this morning a boy sent it to 12 people and got a full day having his dreams come true but you might have another idea as the other lady did, when she just deleted this message! Plz? foward

I suspect you're trying to secure a place for yourself in heaven by posting it here. chain mail..anyone? But jasmine01s, you just lost your 40 virgins. I've personally asked god to close heaven's door for you.

it's strange that the prophet only noticed women are not taking care of their husband - didn't he notice men are also not taking care of their wifes?
Just don't go and blow yourself up.

You've got no excuse, fella.

"For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" (Romans 1:20).

We operate on two different wavelengths. You see this guy and start rejoicing in your God that you're better than him. You think he specifically created him like that to make you understand he's a powerful and ever present God.

I see the guy and I'm even more convince there's no God.

In case you believe he was born this way because of his mother's sin, I have to remind you that a kind God can't/shouldn't be this vindictive. In case you say he created the guy that way so I can come to God- I'll say he wasted his time and failed miserably. he's too petty to be worth anyone's time. And here's my one finger salute to him for eternity and thereafter.

P.S. I don't know anything about the guy in the video but disabilities like these are as a result of Genetic or drugs taken by the mother during pregnancy (Thalidomide comes to mind). Again, it has nothing to do with God.

And where did you get this crap from? Everytin u have written is baseless. Read this and let me have your opinion afterwards.

http://christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a016.html

Did you read it yourself? all the writers effort to justify history and magically place Joseph where he never belonged failed miserably. He ended up with up to 5 options ranging with difference of up to 600 years apart. Aba!

How about this one from the link you gave above:

"There seem to be three commonly held ways to regard this verse. One may accept it at face value, thus dating the Exodus to the 15th century BC;[4] one may totally disregard the verse's historical accuracy, which allows one to date the Exodus to any period one chooses, or indeed to deny it altogether;[5] or one may interpret the numbers given in it to mean something less than a literal 480 years, thus invoking support from the verse for a late Exodus.[6] It is not our purpose here to argue these positions, although I personally hold to an early Exodus. My only point is that one's view on the date of the Exodus is a determiner of one's date for Joseph."
