Such a disappointing thread.

Such a disappointing thread.

What were you hoping to see?

What were you hoping to see?

Something scandalously entertaining. Something controversial. Something thought provoking. Something that will shake the very foundation of the whole Nairaland!

The Op over promised and severely under delivered with this thread of his.

LordReed:
You did no such thing and if you did I would have told you off.

Na why I like you be dis.

You can firmly tell anyone off. No respecter of persons.

And to add, a deeply logical mind.

Yup.

Thank you DeepSight. You also have a special place in my mind.

I was prepared to give you indisputable evidence of true Christianity but since all you want is Islam there is no need wasting my precious time with you!🙂

Can you give me the indisputable evidence of true Christianity perharps I can get cleared of all these confusion.

Your comment is a revealing indictment to why serious issues often get ignored in favor of mere spectacle.

At no point did I promise you, or anyone, a scandalous circus. The title of this thread is "An appeal to investigate hidden evidence and harassment." Its purpose was clearly stated: to present documented facts to end a campaign of harassment and intellectual dishonesty.

You were expecting to be "entertained" by a personal drama. I was presenting a factual case, with evidence, to establish the truth. The fact that you find a meticulous presentation of evidence "disappointing" says more about your expectations than the content of this thread.

This was never designed for your amusement. It was a methodical effort to uncover the truth and hold someone accountable for their actions. If you cannot discern between a serious appeal for justice and cheap entertainment, that is a personal failure of perception, not a failure of this thread.

The "foundation of Nairaland" is built on the free exchange of ideas, which includes the right to seriously address misconduct without having to package it as a reality show. I have delivered exactly what I promised: a clear, evidence-based account. Your disappointment is irrelevant to that fact.

Budaatum is walking away from this thread smelling like roses. Do you know why?! Check yourself very well and understand the true depth of your failure.

Goodnight.

Sorry, but the above does not show bees having a concept of time, and is like claiming animals have a concept of time because they sleep or come out when it is dark at night, which is why they get confused when there's a full eclipse during the day.

@triplechoice,

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s probably a duck.

Probably? As in may be so or maybe not?

Ajẹ ku lanọ, ọmọ ku loni. Ta ni ko mọ pe ajẹ lo pa ọmọ, is indeed the logic of some, but thankfully the logic of few, who rather rely on credible facts instead of making crap up to believe.

You yourself have repeatedly admitted that animals have a sense of time. Read your own posts carefully.
I will not bother further.

As I said, its way too ridiculous and absurd to say that humans created time and that time did not exist before humans.
Frankly embarrassing statements.

DeepSight:

Good. You have said it all.

So you know that whatever we call the uncaused cause of all reality cannot be Yahweh.

Yahweh is simply a figment of the imagination of patriarchal ancient men.

There was a time when the idea of an intelligent designer was being promoted, even by some atheists, which I found comical.

The idea has kind of receded now, but it really was an attempt to introduce a god creator without using the word 'god', as in, traditional names like Yahweh, Allah, Obatala, Zeus, etc.

Meedon:
I have read the Old testament countless times during my adolescent age. I used it to pass away time because my parents won't allow me to go out and play after school or church. I used to marvel at Yahweh's doings that period but when I become of age, I began to question these doings of His and I found out that he is barbaric and blood thirsty and did not deserve to be worshiped or praised.

Then I used to be very afraid of His hellfire, but now I don't fear it no more.

That's the same reason I read it. Fortunately, I'd read Homer and about the Greek gods, and had been introduced to Egyptian gods (they were the Amorc thing in the late 60s-70s when pa was immersed), so it was more fiction as opposed to a thing to be believed at the time. After all, it's not like anyone believed in Greek or Egyptian gods in the 70s, so why believe a book about Yahweh, I reasoned.

I was rather surprised to find people actually believed it when I finally did start going out and met believers. I was like, do you lot believe Aesop Fables too? But you should have seen how I was ganged up on, pretty much like triple has attempted to do here.

They don't know it was a mere cartoon. Does this signify that some religious text are just work of arts and does not actually carries the divine power being attributed to them.

"A sense" now, as opposed to "a concept of"?

Is that like how you switch from god to an uncaused causer but claim it didn't create?

Read carefully what you call an admission, instead of your selective reading!

budaatum:
I mean, I can't imagine dinosaurs thinking it was 11pm or that it was 11 hours since their last meal, but I find it probable that they might have needed to have a concept of space though, since it would have been unlikely for them to chase prey that was a mile away.

I'd have imagined animals, to be more specific than "creature", would not have had a concept of time.

An elephant wouldn't set dinner for 7pm or know that it was a particular month of the year even, nor do I think it knew it would need to carry its pup in its belly for a specific amount of time before birthing.

Meedon:

Hmm. Now this is Intriguing.

I do not agree that religious texts are just work of arts. And I think they can "carry the divine power being attributed to them" simply because we humans attribute divine power to them.

First, religious, or religion, has various meanings, but for this purpose let me define it as something done regularly at a certain time and with reverence.

If we all congregate at a particular place to religiously worship a stone we artistically carved and attribute divininity to, we will also attribute power to it. So when we conquer the enemy who does not worship our stone, we will bow down and praise our stone and thank it for our victory.

As for "actually". Hell no, lol. And we'd find out soon enough how divinely powerless our stone is when the neighbour's stone conquers our stone.

That's the exact reason science, which I define here as 'use of the senses a la Eve', is now conquering religions, as its being understood that stone worship can not beat a bomb.

Basically, a new divine stone (science) is conquering the old divine stone (belief).

P.s. I've just finished watching Vikings: Valhalla. Its about the Vikings fighting against the death of their (old) religion and the spread of the new religion (Catholicism) in the Norse lands and Europe, amongst other things. I think if it was promoted in Nigeria, we'd ban it, lol.

I'm not claiming all he said is accurate, but he at least went to the rock and investigated with his own senses instead of believing all he'd heard.

Please know that I am promoting his work and want you to go to his tube and like it please.
Thank you.

budaatum:
Not true, FxMasterz. You have not confirmed that buda only promoted the books of AMORC!

You would have seen other posts about other organisations and books that buda has promoted if you had bothered to follow the links that triple has provided so you may confirm instead of just believing what you've been told to!

Below is a link to a post by buda about freemasons
https://www.nairaland.com/85581/morals-dogma#1580271

Here are threads created by buda about the Bible.

https://www.nairaland.com/4437570/gospel-according-luke

And here is buda promoting Evolution!
https://www.nairaland.com/5238668/evolution-101

That confirms what Triplechoice has observed about you.

All the links you shared prove beyond reasonable doubts that you're not an atheist. No atheist will go anywhere sharing educative materials relating to any form of religion, whether esoteric or not, except for the purpose of criticism. Ask lordreed.

Seriously? And of all the people you ask me to ask, My Lordreed, who I could say knows me a lot more than you do?

Ah well, here is a post I just finished "sharing". Note how much god that atheist buda has inserted in it and perhaps learn that not all atheists must conform to your view.

Ehhh, this is not correct. Atheists share educative materials about religion. Atheists don't have that kind of constraint you religious people usually have ie thinking that sharing religious material means you believe or are promoting that religion. You for instance would never go to the Islam section because you don't want that badge on your profile, you think it makes you somehow treacherous to your religion, an atheist has no such qualms.

And there was me about to yell that you are biased where buda is concerned, lol.

What say ye, FxMasterz? Mr Lord has been asked.
