I'm sure she must have said something silly that required someone to urgently tell her to keep shut - for her own good.

Assslayer:


I still believe you don't have to shut a lady up like that as a gentleman, remember there are many other ways to catch a fish, in other word there other ways you could correct her

johnydon22:


Am sure that can be termed dishonesty. . . You don't believe 2+2 is 4, you know it is.. Knowing means Certainty.

So what is your own definition of faith if i may ask?

The Year God Died

So God died, and was laid to rest. Then, as expected, hell broke loose.

Satan turned the world upside-down. We ate frogs as food, and it was just one frog a week.

We had no water - not even our urine- for drinking. We drank our tears.

Demons taught us in schools without books. Our classes held in the dark. The sun was nowhere.

Chickens lived longer than children. Corpses were like grains of sand. Death was a friend.

So many more I cannot tell.

Pause. Breathe in. Breath out.

There is no such year. It has not been, and will not be.

My friend, God is not dead. He is still very much in charge!

Pls accept Jesus and avoid going to hell. I'm on my knees begging you, pls hell is real and it's no fun.

Jesus loves you.

Pls sharaaaap!!!

If you'll quit all these dancing around with words !

You appear smart enough to use my orange analogy above to understand what I mean when I say 2+2=4 might need faith to believe.

You KNOWING 2+2 =4 is absolutely that fallacy you're talking about.

You BELIEVING 2+2=4 is being realistic because it's so believed that ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, 2+2=4.

All things held constant,all things being equal, 2+2=4 ...(all things means things seen and unseen, known and unknown factors etc)

Same line, All things held constant, GOD EXISTS!

Faith then is the equivalent of all things being constant.

forget that you were born into Christianity, if you were born into islam you would be a Muslim too.



My point here, the Christian god can not and never justify throwing me into hell fire. Reason? I did not ask him to create me, he can't judge me the same way he will judge ritualistic and murderers ( that would be stupid) Amd he's a sadist too.







I no longer want to serve the Christian god who would throw your mother in hell and have you sing to him 24 hours without break in heaven while your parents burn




The whole concept of God and religion is moronic if u can look at it from a different angle

@assslayer...it appears your student is learning afterall; thanks for saving him from himself cos the way he's fighting for God, it's like you snatched one from the Boko fanatics.

UnimkeAk:


at bolded sounding like a theory. What are the things that should be held constant

All things being equal or not , if u take 2objects and add it to 2other objects, it becomes 4.

It is physical and practical.

U can't use this to prove that God exists; not working

Teempakguy:
most of the things we know in science today are guesses. Guesses based on coincidences. The fundamental forces, their origin. Quantum mechanics, string theory. They are all guesses and theories proposed to explain a group of coincidences. In the case of God, I choose to believe that he exists because at this point, everything science is leading to proves that their are indeed other dimensions. Other worlds. Simultaneously existing in our space time. Everything we think we know. Is becoming lies. Scientists atre busy proving themselves wrong here and there. We have gotten to the stage in science where it is extremely difficult to test any of our theories. After centuries, we cannot explain gravity. We do not even understand the atom. All we do in science, is to guess. And later, confirm our guesses. Now, there has been no evidence that proves that God doesn't exist. But. The evidence we have points at a deliberate creation. A deliberate design!
The atom! No body has seen it! The electron, it exists in probability fields! The photons! They exist and at the same time, do not! Not to talk of the universe! Everything runs like a clockwork. Perfectly! Every action, followed by a reaction, every thing we discover newly in mathematics fits right in with the previous. It is as if we are unravelling the very programming language used to create us! Time, space, blends in perfectly into each other, everything seems planned! Look at the sun. It's power gave us oil. And we have used that oil to this moment and we are discovering how to harness it's power directly. Each time the earth is in danger of destruction, it survives! I mean, why hasn't man blown himself up? What is stopping us? Why is it that earth is always at the brink of destruction, yet you and I are still here? Why do we know what DNA is made of, yet have no idea how it is made? Why is it that everything we discover can be classified based on previous record? It's just too easy! Why hasn't an organism with man's intelligence dominated the seas? What about the birds? We have had the same time to develop. Why are we the best?

There is so much that proved that this world is not alone. That this world did not come by chance, that this world is running on specified rules, that an infinite intelligence was involved in the synthesis of this world. Which is why, I choose, to believe.

Austin234:
Why do u blv so?

benedictuyi:
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student :Yes

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smell your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends /colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN

chrisbaba1:
!

Are you experiencing the very worst trouble satan is capable of giving? can you go through what Job experienced?

if your answer to this is No then don't you think God still holds you tight in protection regardless of how evil you are?

Smh! people just talk trash to look smart when their reasoning is just plain st.upid!

johnydon22:

Now look at this...
I think everyone reading this now get a clear picture..
A god exists, a global certainty? while whereas you stipulate others don't believe this...lmao..How come it still is a global certainty?
How can "belief" be a certainty when it is not "empirical knowledge"

When something is certain it no longer needs to be believed, if actually you are sure a god exist, you wouldn't be saying "Believe" but you would be saying "i know".


Now you want to liken a simple maths rule of 2+2=4 and reduce it to a simpleton dimension of belief.
I have given this example before..
Their is a huge difference in saying
I know 2+2=4 (certainty)
and
I believe 2+2=4 (unsure)

I think it is very clear when someone says "i believe 2+2 is not 4 that its just plain fallacy born out of maybe ignorance or dishonesty.

Re-evaluate your analogy and see where your fallacies fall in...
Now tell me who is being dishonest here; The one who thinks belief is a form of certainty (when its not certainty), if belief its a form of certainty it wouldn't be belief anymore but knowledge...
Bandwagon fallacy is a huge intellectual argumentive flaw i must add.




Exactly what i was waiting for... Faith doesn't make anything true or even probably true, that you believe something with faith only shows you do so whether its true or not... This definition is not even different from what the dictionary gave us.

@Bolded; Evidence of things hoped for is a very clear to show its Wishful thinking....Hoping for something basically means wishing..
So then i take it from your definition that ur faith is evidence of things hope for (god)… isn't this enough to show you are just hoping their is?

I have faith (evidence of things hope for) that their is a huge diamond rabbit in space who created the universe; does my faith make this true?
Certainly not, it doesn't.

So it is clear enough that faith makes nothing true no matter how hard you try to believe it.

Following the simple basic mathematics 2+2, its takes only knowledge in simple basic maths to know it is 4 (numerically), i wonder where faith comes in on this.
