Still referring me to as an atheists shows you don't take your time to read me before
replying.

And the bolded is you trying to hide behind something very silly. Incompetent people are known for hiding behind that to hide their incompetency. It's a well known tactics, and you can't put me down with it.

There's nothing about spirit that's unknown, especially for someone like me. You're mystifying it because it's still a mystery to you. Everyone is not you and I'm certainly not you.

If you claim to know something and refuse to talk about it ,how can anyone know if you really know it?

A computer software and spirit are not the same kind of reality. And so saying that one needs to know the former before one can understand the later,is equally as illogical as declaring that if one can't make sense of levitating in a dream how can one make sense of flying a plane in the waking state.

There's no logicality in your thinking Mr computer software wizard. You're just blinded by your knowledge of softwares and can't see beyond that. That's all.

If you don't know the limitations of your knowledge, then you have a problem.

And to talk about chatGPT, shows that's exactly what you're doing to have something to say here. I don't do that. I'm not you



Tell me how you think the Spirit /Soul can be explained to an Atheist who think that any Reality that is not Tangible is FICTION?

Is a Spirit/Soul Tangible?

TenQ:


Alright: for the first time I will ask on this thread

Because As a Medical Doctor, you say: "Must tangibility have physical features!?"
IS LIFE TANGIBLE?
How do you know?
There are many definitions for life, according to the MW Dictionary. But I'll assume u mean living. Now life/living is tangible. Why? Because it the culmination of breathing, having living cells working to keep you alive and prevent u from dying. And people that have this quality(live) are said to be alive and they do their regular everyday function because of this quality they possess, live. MW said any entity that can be appreciated is tangible.
So again, yes life is tangible

TenQ:

Don't take me to the Atheists' DUMB definition of "Lacking a Belief in any Deity"!



The ONLY creatures who can TRULY lack a belief in any Deity are
1. Animals: For they lack the ability to comprehend the abstract nature of the definition of a deity
2. Babies: Due to immaturity of mind, they cannot even take any rational position about any deity
3. Imb.eciles: Just like babies cannot take any rational position about deities


Which of these three camps do you fall in with your LACK of BELIEF?


Lacking a Belief in an subject means:
You do not have ANY position for or against the subject.

Belief:
A Belief is a position we take when we do NOT have sufficient information to be 100% CERTAIN about a subject.

Examples of possible Beliefs
-Russia will win the war over Ukraine
-Third World war is inevitable within the next two years
-By Next month, $1.00 will be less than N600.00


What a rational person does before he takes a person of Belief is that he weighs PROBABILITY according to his judgment from available information he has if his position is worth holding or not.


The ONLY reason you bother to spend time on the Religious section of Nairaland is that you believe you have enough justification to DISCARD the Deity of the Christians and others!


Of course you don't think nor reason but swallow anything and everything godless people give to you as facts without question.
Sorry: How can Dawkins be wrong?
Please can you show me the dictionary meaning of the word atheism. I'm not bothered with any retard pulling definitions from his ass and expecting me to belief. I'm sorry, but I'll pass

Life is that which animates any biological collection of cells.

How can life be Tangible if it does Not have mass, nor dimension nor energy?

How do you quantify it?

Atheists of Nairaland have all come to a conclusion that the following are tangible realities
1. Life
2. Mathematics
3. Software Code within a machine
4. Information
5. Logic


There was even one clown who says that Grief is tangible. His evidence is that Webster definition says
/Her Grief was tangible and he seem not to know that it is a figure of speech.


Who will deliver them from this Ignorance Induced shamelessness?

TenQ:

The village clown is still quoting what he doesn't understand.

I challenge you to give me the unit of measurement of grief?


To Mr Atheist :
"I've told you a million times!" means exactly that I told you 1,000,000 times.

"His eyes drank in the beauty of the scene." mean that one can drink with the eyes.

"I could eat a horse!" meaning, I could literally eat a full grown horse.

"The backpack weighed a ton." meaning that one the weighing scale it's weight was one tonne


Again:
Grief is tangible according to Webster Dictionary

I challenge you to give me the unit of measurement of grief?

You are the official clown of the community of atheists if you don't give me the unit of measurement of Grief!

Atheism mean: Without Deity (except you disagree with this definition).

Then you may let us have your own preferred definition and let us dissect it.

What is your own definition?

This is why you should concur that you subscribe to the following meaning .


"I've told you a million times!" means exactly that I told you 1,000,000 times.

"His eyes drank in the beauty of the scene." mean that one can drink with the eyes.

"I could eat a horse!" meaning, I could literally eat a full grown horse.

"The backpack weighed a ton." meaning that one the weighing scale it's weight was one tonne

Same way with

Her Grief was tangible! What is the meaning?

It's only a slowpoke that judge others only by their "actions" without giving a though to the intentions behind the "actions"

You lack the neural development to understand the reasons or reasons behind my actions hence your wrong conclusion about me.

Its only a mumu criiminal that does not know that action is an expression of intention which is judged with other extraneos things eg show me your friends and i'll tell you who you are. And the threads shows atheists are your friends.

And, you lie to defend yourself, like they do, in further proof you are an atheist.

A thief, a murderer, a cheat are all convicted for and by their actions and not for the lies they try to raise as their intentions when caught in their acts.

You possess the neural development to understand how a person is validly convicted for their guilty acts and mind which is the reasons why you can convict your girlfriend, wife, houseboy of any wrongdoing but you pretend to forget that the same way you judge and convict others, is the same way that judges and convicts.

Action speaks louder than words!

Don't mind the clowns!

They carry an air of superior knowledge not knowing that they are mentally sick and are devoid of any sound knowledge.

It's the same disease that is confusing Educated Adults about gender differences in people.

Because people are too hungry searching for food and therefore are not acquiring knowledge is why they stupidly thought they had knowledge, whereas, they were being taught to be very stupid.

That is why they are very quick to abuse and insalt anyone who dares point out that they are wrong.

Inherently, they knew they were stupid, just that they did not know until someone points it out to them. Which is why the next you would.see is that they would start raining abuses and insalts and call their fellows in foolishness to join in the abuse and bullying of the person who dared to correct them.

TenQ:

Not every tangible things are touchable (even though this is a general definition). A more precise definition would be that Tangible things are anything that has mass or dimension or energy or can change state with time.

TenQ, I agree with you that A more precise definition would be that Tangible things are anything that has mass or dimension or energy or can change state with time.

In fact, Quine, whom I will post at the end, is agreeing with you, and if I tell you a secret, my Lord and I have almost never disagreed and he agrees with you too.

LordReed:

My dear buda software is a non physical effect of physical interactions. They are like thoughts, even though it is the interaction of the brain and body that produces thoughts, thoughts themselves are not physical.

And just so it's not I'm lying, first person to find otherwise my Lord will make me pay 10k. Just quote link.

Unfortunately. There are no precise definition of words, or at least we human beings are not normally intelligent enough or know enough that the definition we give a word is more precise than any other. It's probably why there are so many dictionaries. Everyone writes their own because we do not agree on precision.

Personally? I think it is really rather absurd (gibberish, even), to claim one precisely defines any word with very complex and imprecise words like "mass or dimension or energy or can change state with time". These are words that have had so many meanings over the history of time, and that keep evolving, that precision just eludes them completely, just as that of tangible has and does.

Anyway, below is Quine. The entire article itself is revealing, and moreso the references.

In Quine’s influential Word and Object he speaks about “limning the true and ultimate structure of reality,” (1960, 221) and according to him, for an object to exist is for it to be necessarily quantified over in an idealized and regimented logical language used to truly and comprehensively describe the world. And he claims that the values of the variables of such a theory will only range over sets and physical objects, so “as far as he is concerned … only physical objects and sets really exist,” and, it must be noted, both objects and sets, even if the latter are abstract, are all regarded as ‘things’ or ‘objects’[3]

TenQ:
I think I got tired of you at a point because i assume I was speaking from the position of knowledge.
I do programming on Microcontrollers and in those days, I did a lot of C/Cpp, Python programming.
One thing I never do is post credentials as a reason for knowledge. If I would, the relevant ones to this topic would be B.Eng Electronics and Communications, London. In my days we were 'programming' in COBOL and C and sometimes directly in machine code, so God help you if your one was in the zero's place. I would love my knowledge of philosophy and how to think and reason to hold sway here too.

When you program in C/Cpp, Python, you are "touching" it. If you want to debug your program, you will remove it from the machine and "touch" it to do so. So why would you insist we go looking for the software inside the machine despite some of us telling you what we would do? Would you tell us to go look for electricity inside the machine from the machine's point of view also and without using a multimeter?

TenQ:

I believe I kept saying that you can only look at this from the Point of View of the Computer
And we are saying that you don't impose a point of view on anyone! It's why we keep informing you that we can take the software out of the machine's point of view and place it in our own point of view so we can feel and touch and see it since we don't share senses with a machine and therefore feel and touch things differently.

The imposition of a point of view is how religion captivates it's audience. And you ought to by now know that atheists do not allow themselves to be captivated so.

Read some of my posts on the Garden of Eden. It's all about a point of view that differs to the generally accepted point of view, which you and I should perhaps discuss in its own right.

TenQ:

I do NOT explain spirit/soul to atheists UNLESS they can comprehend basic physical real life concepts
Haba. Calm down. I said I'm not an atheist. You keep ignoring this, why?

If you won't explain it ,why are you here? This thread is about spirits not computer softwares. There's no where it's written down that to understand spirit you must know what's a software. You made that up yourself ,and it's a very dishonest way of escaping from doing what you should do.

Using your logic,I can also affirm that if you can't comprehend what's oxygen in biology you can't understand what's spirit. Spirit is not intangible as you think. It depends on how it manifest,and there 're different manifestations of spirit. Spirit from a material point of view, simply means energy.

If you're not going to discuss spirit,then forget it and thanks for your time and the insults too.

You just can't assume that another person can't make sense of what you haven't even started to discuss or explain .I can also assume you don't really know your subject very well hence you're afraid to discuss it so your incompetency is not fully exposed.

Triple, I am an atheist, yet I can agree with the bold depending on context.

Say, I were to believe and claim to worship God, but can not be bothered to love my neighbour because my neighbour does not believe what I believe or has a different point of view to mine, it could be said that my belief in God lacks spirit and is therefore intangible.

Just throwing it out there that one can worship God in tangible spirit, as by thy fruits suggest.
