₦airaland Forum

Reyginus: Let's wait for the oga at the top.

GeneralShepherd: I love nairaland's format but we'll adjust the template...

Make it more mobile device friendly or even make it an app..lots of crazy ideas.

Allow the users to have more control over the content, vote topics to the FP and vote down to remove topics..

Have a distinct Christian, Atheist and Islam section, but a general section where we can all rumble

GeneralShepherd: Last time I checked NL is a privately owned business,
Seun reserves the right to do as he please.

After all he refused to change my moniker in my favourite account and even went on to antagonise Jesoul on the same issue....

ManMustWac...my fav atheist, we can actually start our own forum.

Goshen360: And what if I speak in parables? Can't you ask me what I meant rather than attacking my person? The same way you are in a haste to conclude about this matter you also concluded about what I meant until I explained when Reyginus said something in the light of what I intended. STOP THIS YOUR PERSONAL ATTACK ON ME!

Reyginus: Lololol. You are in hell already.

HumbledbYGrace: Can't imagine this section run by a tyrant its better closed and thrown in the bin kannete.

striktlymi: A number of Nigerian Atheists claim that an Atheist state is what the world needs, yet they refuse to go to China.

Some Nigerian Atheists claim that religious folks are slow in the head, but when they fall sick they run to doctors who are neck deep in religion for a remedy.

Some claim that Nigeria is cursed because of religion but before we say Jack Robinson, you guys are back here looking for the deal of a life time...ask LB

"Nigerians are just crazy"

Mr Troll: i have no comment on this thread. Just wanted to quote that @bold for posterity sake.


I'm in pains brethren

FrostyZonn: Those self proclaimed atheists seem to forget that even the greatest mind of the 20th century believed in God.

Albert Einstein said something that put everything in perspective.

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

From this wonderful quotation, it's obvious that Einstein found a way to make both work in his life. Just like the bible says;

"Give to Caesar what is Caeser's, and to God what is God's."

Believing in the big bang theory doesn't really contradicts the creation story as some ill informed atheists and theists wants people to believe. Religion simply found a way to tell a story people will relate to on more primitive level, why science took the practical and blunt approach.


Believing in both God and science will not only enrich your life but will give you a unique perception of it. Being a God hating atheist is lame, while being a science hating theist is equally lame.


#MyTwoKobo

Taiwo20: Now I believe the saying in Yoruba movies that
"Ejo lowo 'nu" i.e snake get hand inside

Javanian: why recursion over iteration?

FearGodAndLive: Chirsitianity is not even mentioned once in the OP. The rest of your rant is therefore irrelevant and an unnecessary attack on Christianity.

Ymodulus: I meant no offense.

I am a php Developer; though i don't comment or visit the programming or webmaster board regularly bcuz i was angry at seun discrimination towards php developers/coders.

momomomo: it has always been in the nature of man to speak against God.

noblefada: Now this is interesting. Although I don't subscribe to all this science stuff because I've all the Info I need from the bible, but just wanted to repeat what I said to logicboy and co, science can only collaborate what's already in the bible n prove the existence of God.

Uyi Iredia: I presume you know the typical Christian's answer to this question. That said my point has been made, their prayer doesn't preclude the fact that they work, which topples the patently false statement you made of Nigerians praying for 24 hours without working. I am inclined to think that was a hyperbole.

Ooman: A Nigerian would rather spend 24 hours praying than spend it reading or working... Nigerians believe in prayer more than they believe in hardwork... that is the bane of the country

Uyi Iredia: You appear determined to think this of Nigerians given their religious fervor. Feel free but I fully disagree. I insist that they know prayer is useless without effort on their part. They look at both, you insist on one_work.

Uyi Iredia: Wrong. It is a known fact that it is the hands that till the soil which eat its fruits. Most Nigerians emphasize and spend lots of time in prayer, but they know it doesn't preclude the fact that they must work. Do get that meme off your head.

Uyi Iredia: I must but in here. The reason being some, if not most, atheists share the same sentiment. Seth Andrews is one. Of course, proposing atheism changes the status quo especially in the African context where it is alien. I will also agree that atheism would, or at least should_given what they say, imbibe the culture of one being less superstitious, less gullible to religious dogma and emphasize the need to reason for one's self. However . . . One, this can, at least in theory, be driven by religions. Two, the problem in our country and Africa as a whole is more of a political one than a religious one: the differentiation holds, never mind that both are intertwined. Nigerians in particular need to found a strong and efficient political structure which does the job of translating individual effort (through grassroot participation in the polity) into national glory. We don't have such structure Three, atheism, as religion, is much prone to dogma, irrationality and superstition (in the thread 'Free Thinking' thehomer said some atheists are superstitious_curious to me on hearing it from her). I ahould expatiate but this $hit is lengthy already.

musKeeto: Ignore my haters.

As LB noted on one of his threads, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly when one becomes atheist. I still don't think agnosticism is the same as atheism though they're quite similar. As time progressed, I realized I became quite indifferent to religion and its fables/tales. I picked up an interest in deism for a while and found out their GOD is more of an idea than a being -- imo, when atheists say NATURE, they say GOD.

So as UYI put it earlier, it was more about coming to terms with my unbelief than being won over by Ooman's beautiful atheist threads

.. Have a nice weekend.. dazall

musKeeto: As long as you never win RELIGIOUS POSTER of THE YEAR, I'm fine with that. You're as useless as the blood of Jesus.

Yungwizzzy: This guy craze nor get cure

Pastor Olu T: And i think u should be intelligent enough to realize that he never said anything but quoted scriptures. Don't use Seun to gain any sympathy for ur ignorance 'cos we are not discussing Seun here but Muskeeto.
