Fenrir:You are muddling up several things rather than the core of the issue. You claimed not to believe in God aka what I will as a Christian call the Uncaused-First-Cause of Everything. This is the issue and not what you expect Him to do as God based on your own understanding. Let me oblige you by going to the fundamental claims I made. I will start from point ONE: follow the Science and the Logic! 1. 1. [s]You are the number one proof of God's existence.[/s] [s] You exist and you are an intelligent and rational creature.[/s] A Building is the evidence of a Builder. A painting is the evidence of a Painter! According to the Natural Laws is this statement bolded correct. Painting and Building are used from the point of view of SYSTEMS and not random arrangements. A Computer is the Evidence of the Engineer! Yes or No! |

Just as what you think too has nothing to do with me so if you have issues with anyone face them and please don't involve me because i'm not interested in any discussion with people who have no regards for those taking the lead in sacred service!🙂 TenQ: |

MaxInDHouse:So run off as usual! I am not holding you. The Truth is NEVER afraid of Scrutiny! |
| Re: Test For Delusion by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:34am On Jan 31 |
TenQ:Personal truth you mean?😂 Truth builds up a congregation so if you can't name the congregation your so called "TRUTH" had built i'm sorry for you!😂 |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 11:29am On Jan 31 |
MaxInDHouse:All these after I answered your question!!? So run off as usual! I am not holding you. The Truth is NEVER afraid of Scrutiny! |
| Re: Test For Delusion by MaxInDHouse(m): 12:35pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:You haven't answered: What is the name of your church?😂 |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 12:57pm On Jan 31 |
MaxInDHouse:What is wrong with you TenQ: |
| Re: Test For Delusion by MaxInDHouse(m): 1:11pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:Surely you don't think before typing! I'm living in the same place with those you call "elders"? TenQ:If i'm not living in the same place or city with them so how come you believe we all have the same line of thought just as Jesus prayed for his real disciples {John 17:22} but you don't have anyone to relate with as your fellow believers?😂 |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 1:18pm On Jan 31 |
MaxInDHouse:It seems you don't study the scriptures to know as you've been told what to believe. All I asked you to do is to study the bible. Is that a tall order to do? |
| Re: Test For Delusion by MaxInDHouse(m): 1:26pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:Please quote the highlighted in your previous post to me on this thread?😂 |
| Re: Test For Delusion by DeepSight(m): 1:32pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:+ If these are the ten points you were referring to, I agree with them (except that I dont believe that time and space were created by or at the moment of the big bang, I believe that time and space cannot be created). Your challenge is how to move from the above to Christianity. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 2:14pm On Jan 31 |
MaxInDHouse:So when you are asked to answer questions based on Bible questions like 1. Can anyone see God? 2. Can God be in Heaven and on Earth concurrently? 3. Who was speaking in Heb1:8 to the Son? You run off to consult the JW manual instead of the Bible!? SMH! |

TenQ:The “Rectum as Blowhole” Hypothesis A Design Flaw or Divine Troll? Consider this. If humans are semi-aquatic animals (and let’s be honest, we kind of are. We’re 60% water, we pee in pools, and we love a good beach until the sunburn hits), then Yahweh absolutely half assed the engineering. Here’s the breakdown. The Case for Rectal Respiration Dolphins / Whales Blowholes = evolutionary perfection. One hole. Two functions. Breathing… and occasionally spraying water to confuse tourists. Humans Two holes (mouth + anus), but neither doubles as a snorkel. Wasted. Potential. The Fix If Yahweh had just rotated the plumbing, we could’ve had: Blowhole Mode “Oh shit, I’m drowning” (clenches) Now I’m breathing through my ass like a pro. Bonus: solves the “don’t trust a fart” problem. Gas exchange instead of social embarrassment. Theological Justification “And God said, ‘Let there be multipurpose orifices,’ and it was lit.” (Genesis 1:21, Åberg Revision) Why It Didn’t Happen Yahweh was distracted (probably arguing with Lucifer about free will again) Divine humour Imagine the first human doggy-paddling while inhaling through their butt. “And on the 8th day, God laughed.” The Fall’s hidden curse Adam and Eve ate the apple and boom… no more aquatic dominance. Now we’re stuck with gills that don’t work and a fear of sharks. Semi Aquatic Human Evidence: We Were Meant to Be Better We should be WAY better in water than we are. Exhibit A: Babies can swim instinctively (until society scares it out of them with “What if you drown?”) We love floating Pools. Bathtubs. The Dead Sea. Anywhere we can pretend gravity isn’t real (because gravity is a scam) We pee in water No shame. Zero shame. If dolphins can do it, so can we. We invented boats Because walking is boring and flying is cheating. Conclusion We’re failed mermaids. Yahweh gave us the desire for water but forgot the upgrades. The Nigerian Angle: Why This Theory WILL Especially Piss Them Off If I dropped this take in a Lagos bar… The Religious: “Blasphemy! God’s design is perfect!” My comeback: “Then why do we drown in a mammal’s natural habitat? Checkmate, theologians.” The ‘Science’ Guys: “Evolution, bro! We evolved from land mammals!” My comeback: “So you’re telling me millions of years of evolution and the best we got is webbed toes that don’t even work? That’s lazier than a Nigerian civil servant.” The Traditionalists: “Our ancestors respected water! They didn’t question it!” My comeback: “Your ancestors also sold people into slavery, so let’s not put them on a pedestal, yeah?” Nigerian Hypocrisy Bonus They’ll pray about it: “God, why did you curse us with weak swimming?” But won’t learn to swim: “The pool is cold!” Me: “So you’d rather drown than be uncomfortable for 20 minutes? That tracks.” The Real Question: Divine Malice or Just Bad Coding? Let’s weigh the options. Divine Malice Yahweh wanted us to suffer “Let them struggle in water, it’s character-building” Explains why we love beaches but can’t live there Evidence: the Bible is full of drowning stories (Noah’s Ark = generational trauma) Bad Coding Yahweh forgot to patch us “Oops, the gills module didn’t compile” Explains why cramps exist Evidence, we sweat in water. Who designed that? Verdict It’s both. Yahweh is a chaotic-neutral programmer. Brilliant ideas. Zero QA testing. The Åberg Solution: DIY Evolution Since Yahweh won’t fix it, here’s how we hack the system, Start a cult “The Church of Rectal Respiration” Slogan: Breathe Deep. Let It Out. Train your body Daily enema practice (for “blowhole readiness”) Pitch it to Nigerians “Bro, no more drowning. Just clench and breathe.” Them: “Is it halal?” Me: “Does drowning sound halal to you?” Profit Sell “Holy Butt Plugs” (patent pending) as spiritual snorkels. The Deeper Truth I’m Actually Digging At This isn’t about blowholes. It’s about, The arbitrary rules of existence Why are we THIS close to being aquatic gods but stuck with paper thin skin and fear of jellyfish? The hypocrisy of “intelligent design” If we’re so special, why did Yahweh give ducks waterproof feathers but give us goosebumps? The Nigerian habit of ignoring the obvious They’ll pray for a miracle but won’t learn to swim Just like they’ll demand tradition but ignore its flaws. I’m pissed because the tools for freedom (or at least not drowning) are right there. And people still choose the cage. Whether it’s wedding traditions, religious dogma, or just refusing to learn how not to sink. Final Thought Yes. Yahweh absolutely intended us to be semi-aquatic demigods. But He forgot to push the update. The rectum could have been the blowhole if not for the Fall, lazy evolution, or divine trolling. Your move. Social media test announcement Test the theory (report back with results) Pitch it as the ultimate japa hack Because if you can’t swim to Europe, breathing through your ass is the next best thing.

With who do you agree on your conclusions regarding your questions? If you don't agree with anyone what makes you think i will agree with you? Or do you think i'm interested in some aimless arguments that you always engage with random people?😂 TenQ: |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 3:45pm On Jan 31 |
DeepSight:The logic is this Time is irrelevant without matter Matter cannot exist without space Space without matter is meaningless as there isn't any dimensions by which it can be defined. Can you ask any AI the question: According to science, did time, space and matter appear simultaneously at the origin of the universe? I'll like to know the answer |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 3:49pm On Jan 31 |
MaxInDHouse:Ask your fellow elders and open your bible as you discuss. Unfortunately, topics like these are not discussed by your publications, thus, you cannot independently open the Bible! SMH! Have a nice day!! |
| Re: Test For Delusion by DeepSight(m): 3:54pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:+ I know the scientific position. I just dont agree with it and have debated that point on this forum as far back as 2010 - 16 years ago. https://www.nairaland.com/577313/thehomer-now-lets-discuss-big Your challenge as to how to prove Christianity still remains. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by Fenrir(m): 4:09pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:I answered ALL of your questions, stop being lazy and a hypocrite. Go read it and quote it. Get over your narcissistic arrogance. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by Fenrir(m): 4:11pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:And i did not claim to be an atheist I DIRECTLY outright told you im atheist. See the narcissistic attitude of the men in this country. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 4:19pm On Jan 31 |
DeepSight:So, which of my points do you disagree with? I have not attempted to prove the Christian God at all. All I have established is that it is LOGICAL and even SCIENTIFIC to conclude that an Intelligent Uncaused-First-Cause created the Universe AND this Uncaused-First-Cause cannot be made of Matter and cannot be subject to the Physical and Chemical Laws. Except for being Obstinate, there exist no other plausible conclusion. The question of WHO this Uncaused-First-Cause is another question entirely! |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 4:21pm On Jan 31 |
Fenrir:Do you disagree that there are different shades of Atheism? Some call themselves Agnostics, others are Satanists.... |
| Re: Test For Delusion by DeepSight(m): 4:21pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:+ I have no issues with this argument and have made it myself many times. I just want to know how you proceed from this to Jesus. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 4:39pm On Jan 31 |
Fenrir:Sorry, Pick a point and trash it out. What you claimed are strawman arguments, insinuating what I never said and jumping to your own conclusion. Let me give you an example 1. You said: Fenrir:Is this TRUE? 2. Extracts from your thesis. Fenrir:Sorry! This is NOT how to make your case if you have ANY. Never once did I make an argument and conclude that "THEREFORE GOD" not once as you are reading the God of the Gaps into my claims. My claims are PROGRESSIVE REASONINGS based on Current Scientific Knowledge AND Logic to arrive at the Causing Source of the Universe that I called the Uncaused-First-Cause of Everything and I said this Uncaused-First-Cause of Everything is what we Christians call God! If you have any argument, pick my points One at a Time and answer questions relating to it. Until then, sorry! I think my points were numbered carefully for you to disprove the scientific and logical fallacy each contains. You can then look at the implications of each if it is True |
| Re: Test For Delusion by Fenrir(m): 4:39pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:I never said differently but I get to define the atheist I am And I went to war SO PEOPLE HAD THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHATEVER THEY WANT show me 1 Nigerian man that will fight for my beliefs? Because I gave blood for yours and you dont even practice Christianity since you scream your traditions are mandatory in a lie, both the Bible and Quran directly tell you not to do that and it makes you a selective hypocrite. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 4:41pm On Jan 31 |
DeepSight:I guess I have to ask you this question first. If you believe in an Intelligent Uncaused-First-Cause of Everything who operates outside the physical and chemical laws, Who do you think He is? |
| Re: Test For Delusion by DeepSight(m): 4:47pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:+ I think it is unknowable. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by DeepSight(m): 4:49pm On Jan 31 |
Fenrir:+ Fabu Master. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 4:51pm On Jan 31 |
Fenrir:I don't even seem to know you as this thread is the first I can recall where we have conversed. ..and you seem to know that I don't practice Christianity and I claim that my traditions are mandatory in a lie. You have the Right to whatever you want to believe BUT 1. Is your position the naked Truth? 2. You have the freedom of thought and choice, but are you free from the consequences of your choice Do you agree with me that I will be wickedness on the part of God if He forces you who despise and reject Him to be with Him for Eternity? Shouldn't He allow you your space you yourself and your kind in a place where you are forgotten by Him? God actually offers you this above. The choice is yours to make. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by Fenrir(m): 4:53pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:See, cherry-picking out of context the typical trick of Nigerian men Proof you lost, I answered everything in 1 go, you cherry-pick and twist it. Now I must implore you to neutralise your current penchant for this galling and grandiloquent banter lest I am provoked to disintegrate your logic with a relentless salvo of esoteric philosophical fragments and pray do not misinterpret my discourse as blowing big grammar i am simply facilitating a rigorous anatomical dissection of your current rhetorical fallacies |
| Re: Test For Delusion by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:58pm On Jan 31 |
TenQ:You see the reason why you don't worth engaging me in such a discussion? You want me to talk about what i shared with my brothers in sacred service but you don't respect such arrangements yet you feel i should engage you in such a serious discussion.🙂 |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 4:58pm On Jan 31 |
DeepSight:I agree with you. God is truely unknowable UNLESS He reveals Himself to us. We get to know who God is through some men He had chosen from the Land of Israel: from Abraham to the Apostles of Jesus. Records abound in the Bible. Each one of us Christians then bond in a union of Relationship with God by our individual personal and subjective experience of Him. Thus we can say, we know this God reported by His prophets personally. |
| Re: Test For Delusion by TenQ: 4:59pm On Jan 31 |
MaxInDHouse:You don't have to engage with me. I think we concluded about that. Discuss the questions with your fellow elders using your Bible as a guide. Is it too much to ask? |
