Family › Re: My Parents Are Against Me Getting Married by neocortex: 9:06am On Oct 06, 2016

JeffreyJamez:
I'm with your parents on this one..... The fact you're okay financially doesn't mean you're ready for marriage... It's not like they said you shouldn't marry her, they said you both should wait!... So my advice... ...wait!

That only works in an ideal world,
in 5 years they would probably have gone
their separate ways.

People who successfully got married after dating for a long time were
able to achieve that because it was their decision not parents rule.

I always wonder why many parents who themselves got married at ages 16-25
usually go against their children doing the same thing.

Being there once *1993* .... its alway scary to see all those traditional religious people walking round the streets freely, some with shoes and some without shoes, I wish they will abolish ther idols and give way to Islam..
Was just thinking on how to raise true jihadist to invade some yoruba lands that still worship idols to liberate them so that their next generation will not have the excuse to blame anyone.,.
It's going to start with aggressive Da'wah then to mopping-up those who are not ready to give up their idols so that they won't corrupt the minds of others later in the future again...

Good thing is you are not one of those pretenders who claim to be peaceful but won't hesitate

pafygodo:
The fact that eyitayo hails from akure doesn't guarantee that he is going to win massively in the central. Akure is hugely populated by non indigenes of the town and the fact that Mimiko’s Popularity has grossly waned will count against PDP. As it is, nobody can predict who will win this election.
A lot of factors will determine, federal might may play a role as orchestrated in Edo state.
APC may want to do spite their supporters who are moving enmass to AD by throwing its weight behind the PDP Candidate. 'Kaka ki Eku maje sese, a o fi sewa danu'.
As you have said, Aketi is not popular among the electorates in Ondo, he is only popular in Owo and probably among his APC followers.

Mimiko's popularity will have been such a huge factor had
APC not been fractured.
As it is now,
Aketi has federal might + Northern money bags on his side
Oke has disenfranchised APC + some grassroot + Tinubus money on his side
Jegede has "state might" + some grassroot + Mimiko's money on his side

You will agree with me that in some places votes that would have
been for only APC will be shared between Oke and Aketi.

I believe this election may follow the pattern of the last house assembly
elections as both Aketi and Oke might focus more on spiting each other
than working to defeat PDP.

One thing about Ondo state people is, dey hate imposition n dat was wat Aketi group used in d primary to discredit Abraham n now it's wat d Ondo people will use against APC n even PDP cos Jegede is also Mimiko' stooge, so dat leaves Oke as d only neutral choice 4 dem. But apart 4rm wat I stated above, d general feeling in Ondo state is dat dey don't want anything Mimiko, so dey will look 4 options else where.

AD already has a candidate before Oke jumps

Oke which is no different from imposition.

Goddys:
You have a good mastery of English language and I learn from your write up.

However, I need to inform you that English language is imposed on British colonies by their slave masters to keep them under subjugation and mental slavery, and also to cause them see British lifestyles and system of education as superior to their native cultures.

In my days at university, I learnt that western education system impose on us is to tame our minds from thinking afar. We are restricted to think within the confine of our area of study when commonsense demands we have grasp of all aspect of life to be termed 'educated'.
In ancient times, the great philosophers like Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Thales, etc were taught in all areas of life ranging from politics, science, history,law,religion to name it..
In order to grasp the in depth fundamentals of any field of study, you need to know the basics which will get you grounded to research and seek knowledge independently.
The elite of the earth who control world economy, politics, finance etc are taught using this all encompassing mode of education which give them the esoteric aura that ordinary person would never acquire.
You are qualified to call yourself educated only when you have grasp of every thinkable aspect of life and universe. Most of our professors are only educated in their field and versed with grandiloquence which gives them aura of erudition whereas they are half-baked.
I am still learning because I know that until I grasp all the fundamentals of life and its relativity to our daily struggles, I am not educated. I think this should be the mindset of all undergraduates and not the mad desire to come on top of their classes.
I HATE WESTERN MODE OF EDUCATION.

That is not true , the age of the renaissance man is over, we are in
a specialist age, the world need moe specialists not generalists.
While your personal thirst for knowledge is commendable in many fields
is commendable, it is actually impractical for most people as it does not
guarantee the most important motivation for seeking education(Finance).

I also disagree with the "elite" conspiracy theory unless you have a prove
that some people have some esoteric source of knowledge which is not
accessible to a knowledge seeking member of the general populace.

Those who seek further knowledge eventually finds it, while those who are
contented also settles in their contentment.

Even though innovations are important, without the "robots" of the world nothing
good can be built.

Kgdavid:
If you believe that the universe came from nothing then you automatically are acknowledging the possibility of processes beyond our current understanding of nature and science. This is the definition of supernatural and you are therefore a believer in the supernatural. Thats my point

Well, the beginning of the universe have been shrouded in mystery,
but that doesn't give room for a "talking,loving and hating god
phenomenon" as that is pure conjecture.

Mind you our current understanding may be limited but no one can claim
that we have reached the limit of our advancement in knowledge, hence the
"supernatural" is just a mere tag for "we don't know , therefore it is beyond us"
it is not a thing with agenda as being peddled by theist.

I find your view with regard to the "supernatural" as being somewhat relaxed
because to theists , it isn't just a possibility it is a reality of powerful and intelligent
beings.

Christianity Etc › Re: Atheism And Logical Fallacies : Here Are 10 Logical Fallacies Atheists Commit by neocortex: 4:04pm On Oct 02, 2016

Kgdavid:
It is simple. Read me well.the pattern I spoke of would only be circular without belief in the supernatural. My belief in the supernatural leads me to a belief in the creator.

You say all things may have come from many things, well these many things would have had to come from something or someone.

How is it logical to think that all things could have come from nothing at all? Is it there a single example of a case in nature where things have come from nothing? To believe that something can come from nothing, then you my friend, are a believer in the supernatural already

Belief in the supernatural is based on your assumption cannot have come
from nothing, that there must have been a creator.
But the problem with this view is that you can't stop there, that intelligent
creator couldn't also have always existed it must have sprung from something
else, so you end up with infinite creators.

And if you claim that the "creator" have always existed , then the universe
itself could always have been in existence.

Christianity Etc › Re: Atheism And Logical Fallacies : Here Are 10 Logical Fallacies Atheists Commit by neocortex: 1:12pm On Oct 02, 2016

Kgdavid:
1. That is the fallacy of composition. That logic can prove some objective beliefs does not mean it can be applied to prove all. When it comes to atheism, logic tells us that life must have started somewhere and that all things must come from something or someone. Logic also makes us realize that for the preceding principle to be true then we need to ask where the source came from. For which we have no simple answer. Logic then leads us to conclude that the truth must be something beyond the realm of known logical non-spiritual realities. Thus belief in the supernatural is entirely logical.

The bolded is pure speculation which will only lead to a circular logic, all things may have started from
many sources or nothing at all.

Ignorance can never be an excuse/prove of a supernatural/god,
everything in nature is natural, except you have conflicting
evidence.

From your own writing, you don't know how the supposed source came
about, how does that logically lead you to believe in an unproven supernatural ?
Don't you see that your conclusion doesn't follow ?

Tooth fairies were clearly invented in stories

Prove the above.

Since you actually agree that Elijah did clear the doubts of the baal prophets , then why do you still doubt ? So its obvious you are seeking for a personal evidence to clear your doubts .

I do not agree, it is just a scene from a story book you believed in and I thought
you will be happy to follow elijahs model instead of wasting energy on unfounded
propositions.

If you finally have one , will you agree that God exists ?

It is a simple case, same way I like other rational humans don't
spend time making claim that the sun or water don't exists, it is only logical
for me to accept the existence of a proven human-independent god.

I simply countered your argument , I'm not an agnostic christian .

You can't argue by being everybody at the same time that can only mean
that you have no solid point of reference.

God is not a concept so whatever knowledge discovered will not affect his existence .

Mind proving the bolded,
on one hand your statement shows you are absolutely
certain of the existence of your god on the other hand
you want others to not be sure of their disbelief since "we
don't know much about the universe"(that is relativist fallacy).
You actually lack the moral right to prescribe what you yourself
won't subscribe to.

But from your perspective , the knowledge about the universe keeps making the reality of His existence more glaring than ever .

Where the hell did you get these from ?

Look up "deny" in the dictionary .

Let me help you if you can't check your dictionary for the word "deny"

1 [ with obj. ] state that one refuses to admit the truth or existence of: both firms deny any responsibility for the tragedy.
• refuse to admit the truth of (a concept or proposition that is supported by the majority of scientific or historical evidence):
ex. an anti-environmentalist campaign group that denies climate change.

Since your god exists only in your head, it can only be disbelieved not denied.
Are you clear ?

1. yes i agree. What does that have to do with anything?

2. This is a big question. Let me just say that Faith is belief in spiritual realities

1. means that logic is sufficient for objective truths while spiritual beliefs requires
faith hence any attempt to superimpose logic on faith is illogical.

2. Personally, I do not debate peoples belief in spirituality/faith unless they try
to make unprovable claim that their faith have consequences on others or project
their personal faiths.

You are the one to provide proof .

You are making a declaration with absolute certainty .

Neocortex : : There is still no human-independent evidence for the existence of a god or gods
that is the main atheist argument and is devoid of any fallacy.

But the truth is man knows little about the universe and his existence to absolutely deny the existence of a creator , hence your conclusion was conjectural .

The deists can also argue against your declaration with the First Cause argument . The deists agree to the existence of a Supreme Being or God rejecting every personal experience or anecdotal evidence of God .

I know you are going to dodge that, the tone of my statement indicate a negative
reaction ("there is still no" wink

but you chose not to see it as a proposition.

It is no different than asking me to prove that "Toothfairies" doesn't exist even
though you knew that the statement won't come about in the first place if someone
had not claimed that "tooth fairies" exist.

Why are christians today not like the believers of old, I remember reading how
elijah clear the doubts of the baal prophets.

But the truth is man knows little about the universe and his existence to
absolutely deny the existence of a creator

By this statement I will take it that you are an agnostic christian which means
you are also on the wrong side of the coin according to the bible.

Don't you think that more knowledge about the universe will weaken rather
strengthen a creator god ?

Once again atheist disbelief not deny the existence of any god,
you can only deny a verifiable truths not conjectures.

Here is a classic faith exultation from jesus to a man who wouldn't believe

A person's personality does not affect the argument , this means this post could from anyone - atheist , theist , agnostic .

I'm not making accusations - I'm providing evidence for every logical fallacy listed .

The truth is , atheists are not logical thinkers . There is no logical thinking when there are logical fallacies .

There are so many other fallacies you guys commit , I just had to trim it down to ten .

Don't let me create a part two of this thread

Let me argue from your point of view because each point and example you attached
to them are a topic on their own, committing fallacy doesn't invalidate a position
so long as the main points still stand.
There is still no human-independent evidence for the existence of a god or gods,
that is the main atheist argument and is devoid of any fallacy.

You claimed a creator exists without providing evidence, this is illogical
as assumptions based on ignorance can never replace objective evidence.

In case you do not know, existence of fallacy in one of the arguments in a case does
not discredit the entire case so long the crust of the argument is untouched,
judges don't just acquit a criminal because a prosecutor committed a fallacy, the
case is judged holistically based on its entire merits or demerits

Your disingenuous tactic of "atheist fallacy" is a myth as nothing other than disbelieve
in the existence of a god defines an atheist, any other atheist belief is likely a personal
conviction.
e.g denying or accepting that jesus ever existed doesn't make anyone more or less of
an atheist.
