Am a christian and am not a racist. Racism doesn't apply to a particular religion but to every one of us. If you have a problem with christianity please don't let that problem come in between you and the truth. Racism is everywhere no matter whether you're religious or not.

Edenoscar:

He is saying, in my understanding, you are not your physical body. Your body is just a temple housing a being. The being is the consciousness, your thoughts, beliefs, understanding. The body remaining the only vessel in which your consciousness can exist in this life time, till death.

akintom:
The grammatical opulence of the OP is leaning towards that of eck or grailmessage.

akintom:
I asked the OP the knowledge Base of his 'refined thoughts', he hasn't responded.

DeepSight:
Use your hands to touch your physical head. Touch it all round - from the back of your head, to your ears, to the top of your head, then to your temples, feel your eyes, nose, lips and chin. Circle the jaws and back to the back of your head.

What have you just touched and groped?

A Visor.
A helmet-like instrument designed to help the being within perceive its outer physical world.
This object will be taken off at death along with the rest of the instrument - the body: and the real being will exist in its real transcendental reality.

This is virtual reality. A simulated game we enter into at birth and be done with at death. Nothing you see in this world is real. It's all a simulation which we will step out of at death.

DeepSight:
You are about to contaminate the refined thoughts I want to distill and engage with here, with horrible arguments like this:



Remain only if you desist. Otherwise go away.

three:
No Sir

You were overthrown for introducing draconian policies, economic hardship and human rights violations.

You truncated a corrupt civilian government only to create an avenue for an even more corrupt one to come to the fore

You hounded corrupt politicians while taking care of 53 suitcases

it is therefor no wonder that contrary to your claim of 'purity' (aided by your gaunt physique) you were able to send 6 of 8 children abroad to school hence your inability to make public your asset declaration as promised by yourself

You are #CleanSweepBuhari a la Jeffrey Archer

1. Break up with her

2. Cheat on her


3. Do what she does not like

4. Don't always call and text her (this one works like juju)

5. Forget her birthday

thank me later

hahn:
You need pvssy

You obviously lack it

Edenoscar:
Wait, in summary what you're saying is that experiences you have'nt had are all illusion.?

plaetton:
What I am saying, which I trust that you fully understand, is that something like death, the cessation of life, what happens at moment of death , and afterwards, cannot be fully explained until an individual experiences the very phenomenon of death.

Everything woven around the phenomenon are simply legends, myths and illusions.

For example, I imagine you as a lanky, tall, dark complexion man with a slightly receding hairline. I imagine you to be somewhat snobbish and introverted , until you reach a level of comfort with people , before you liven up to unleash your WORD SORCERY on hapless souls.
Deepsight is real.
But these are my illusions of Deepsight.

Only the EXPERIENCE of meeting you in person would prove these illusions right or completely wrong.

DeepSight:
Perhaps I would be putting what you are trying to say better if I said that we cannot really know what an experience would be like unless we have it, and every supposition or imagination of what it may be like would only be just that: a supposition or imagination and never quite the experience.

This is not to say that imaginations are the same thing as the illusion that we discuss here.

texanomaly:
Interesting discussion.

urheme:
"Death is the only reality"

urheme:
There are experiences that i have had that you will write off as illusions...

everything cannot be an illusion...you are like.."death is an illusion until it is experienced" .

what you call illusion are my realities.

try again

AkinPhysicist:
FFK was in government for 6 years under GEJ and he said NOTHING about the Fulani herdsmen's slaughter of Christian Nigerians. In addition, during this period he said NOTHING about the poor federal roads. Now, that he is facing charge of serious corruption , FFK has found 'Jesus.' He now considers himself the champion of the masses. These elites believe that the masses are foolish - and based on what I have seen on NL, I think the elites are right.

stephenmorris:
You are not the only one who has lost hope ,sometimes i try to imagine how the politicians still continue to ''MUMU'' 180 million souls in NIGERIA and yet these souls still don't know what to do,they can't speak for their own rights nor even know anything about what a ''RIGHT'' means.Nigerians are in perpetual slavery ,a form of slavery in which they can free themselves, yet they don't know they can free themselves

LoJ:
Plaetton is really one of the best and most objective analysts around not only on political issues, but general issues as well. it is my pleasure to "follow" him here.

Greetings.

honeychild:
Nope that is not the spirit of one Nigeria. As long as you remain insular and refuse to allow non igbos to do the same in Igbo land, trying to do the same in another land is not unity, it is an attempt at domination.

aydotpretty:
If there is one Nairalander I so much admire with his way of dissecting political issues coupled with his sense of humour, I give it to him PLAETTON!. However, for sometimes now I have not heard about him in the Politics section and he seems more of being in the Religion section. Plaetton where are you? your wealth of experience in the political discourse is needed at a time like this

JackBizzle:
So Mark Zuckerberg, just like Bull Gates, threw atheism under a bus by saying that he is not an atheist.

When Zuckerberg made the comment that he is not an atheist on facebook, a lot of Nigerian christians ran to Nairaland to mock atheists and laugh. Seun Osewa, whom I respect so much, made the mistake of answering the christians- who then rejoiced at his "painment"/"butthurt".

However, the joke still remains on christians or religious Nigerians. The reason I say this is because most Nigerians are not intelligent enough to ask "WHAT RELIGION OR BELIEF DOES MARK ZUCKERBERG NOW FOLLOW SINCE HE IS NOT AN ATHEIST"?


I truly wonder why so many christians do not realise that in rushing to mock atheists over Zuckerberg, they have shown their insecurity and ignorance over what belief entails.

One should realise that Zuckerberg never stated what his beliefs are clearly.

-Mark Zuckerberg could be a satanist
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a sango worshipper
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a Buddhist
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a Shintoist.
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a Deist.

Mark Zuckerberg could be a secular humanist as well (a secular religion/philosophy?)- which would not put him far from atheism/agnosticism.


To all the christians and religious folks that rushed to mock atheists, please learn to have the intelligence to read between the lines. Many people make diplomatic comments just to avoid conflicts. Also learn to have the patience and intelligence to learn how to ask important questions- because, a further question should have been put to Zuckerberg- "What are your beliefs"?


As for the issue of "reading between the lines", Zuckerberg lives in a religious (heavily christian populated) country and was asked a question about religion, at a religious time (Christmas holiday)- did you expect him to make an irreligious statement and lose customers?
Even I would deny atheism if i had many christian customers at christmas! Just like how many christians piss their pants and deny Jesus when ISIS comes knocking on their door


Shalom! Happy new year in advance!
