THE WORD 'ATHEIST' IS SO MISUNDERSTOOD

I follow spacyzuma's diary. In his latest comment posted a few minutes again, he inferred that an agnostic is somehow between a theist and an atheist. I have found myself having to discuss this issue so many times. No...agnoticism is not between theism and atheism. Theism is not at one end and atheism at the other extreme corner. No...agnostism is not the midpoint. They are two separate terms. One deals with belief, the other deals with knowledge.

Perhaps, I may have used it and make it sound like an agnostic is the reasonable fellow and the atheist is the stubborn one, pardon me, that's not true.

Watch the video below...it explains it in a way I don't have time to today.

hahahaha

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

@joseph1013 I had to google "mercurial character" and got to this link: http://www.9types.com/movieboard/intro_new.htm
I'm definitely not mercurial

@stephenmorris I never said I didn't like sex. I think I said I wasn't gonna discuss sexual stuff like many diaries here.

I have been trying to access my ymail since yesterday but its acting up please here is my mail(leommyn@gmail.com),pls message me or you cud drop urs,so sorry for the inconveniences this might cause

[b]Okay...I spent the entire day thinking whether I should write this or not, but finally decided that it is more helpful if I share.

As usual I got a mail but this mail was unlike any I have ever received. It was not a threatening message, I was a call for help. But I was beyond shocked at the content. I reproduce the mail below:

[img]http://dc626.4shared.com/img/81kJQw5_ce/s24/1568fb43070/Capture__1_?async&rand=0.011104492469106386[/img]

My first thought was that this email was meant for another person, but then I realized that I have had someone called me a occultic person before.

So to this guy, I know you are seeing this post, atheists are not occultic people. Atheists lack a belief in God. That's all.

God = Supernatural being

Occult = Supernatural phenomena

No. I don't think you can really call yourself an atheist with any sense of credibility if you believe in magic, the occult, supernatural powers or psychic abilities.

Theoretically if one was willing to accept the existence of the supernatural then it would be both irrational and hypocritical to then disbelieve in the possible existence of gods.

So bro, while I understand your pains, Nigeria is in really bad shape at the moment, joining a group of occults, especially as we have it in Nigeria is a really bad move. Your desperation could force you into doing some really terrible stuff. It's a regular thing to hear of people beheading and kidnapping people for money rituals. Don't go that route, bro.

Your best shot at success is still hard work. You gotta keep looking for opportunities to climb out of poverty. It is said that luck is where opportunity meets preparation. You just gotta keep at it.

What's your advice for this guy?

The Nigerian Pastor won't talk about Usain Bolt or Serena Williams. They won't talk about late Dora Akunyili or Tony Elumelu.

The Nigerian pastor wont talk about Steve Jobs or the young people in Silicon Valley reshaping our world.

They won't talk about young American scientists spending endless hours in search of a cure to a disease that's predominantly in the Tropical African region. The Nigerian pastor won't talk about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie or Ben Okri.

In every corner of the world, there exist young men and women who has defiled all odds and became successful through hardwork, creativity and dedication...

The Nigerian pastor wont talk about them......neither will he ask his members to emulate the spirit of these individuals.

He would rather talk about sister Agatha who got a job she WAS NOT THE MOST QUALIFIED because she prayed and fasted in line with their church program.

Or

Brother John who became a millionaire because he used all his salary as a seed in the church.

Or

Papa Miracle who he laid his hands on and 3 of his children got admission in the university

Or

Mama Esther paid her tithe and her business started growing everywhere across the nation......no business plan, just boom, everywhere.

This has led to a new breed of mentally lazy young people who now see God as a rewarder of mediocrity.

To the Nigeria Pastor, the only way to prosper is by paying your tithe and sowing seeds in the church. So they will never talk about those who has through hardwork and dedication placed theirselves in the world map.

No......the Nigeria God only blesses the first 30 people that rush to the altar to drop 100,000 as seed.

The Nigeria God abhors hardwork and creative thinking, He only gives to those who sow seeds and offerings......and those who shout "i am a millionaire" every morning and do nothing the rest of the day.

Continue....you want God to come down and help you use the talent He gave you and bless you because you are going to church to shout "Daddy I receive it" You all jokers.

Can someone tell these jokers that irrespective of your creed, faith or religion, blessings and favours follows you once you start using your talent and become useful to your society.

God doesn't owe you N5. [/b]

[b]Jesus, not Christianity
by Steve Chike Abia

Once upon a time...

According some ancient record, a radical humanist (at least in the standard of his days) once lived in an area of what is today called Palestine. He was a scourge on the flesh of religious leaders in his time. They conspired to kill him. Upon his death, some group of followers decided to form a RELIGION in his name without his consent- a religion that is entirely different from his character, a religion that represents everything the man stood against. They named it Christianity.

He condemned the collection of tithes by religious leaders at the expense of the poor. In Christianity today, woe betide you, if you do not pay tithe.

He couldn't condemn a prostitute caught in the act, he wined and dined with "sinners". Today, pastors flog teenagers caught in sexual act, Christians open up "gate of hell" and all manner of threats, curses and condemnation on prostitutes, gays, atheists, and any other person who doesn't conform.

He was a pacifist. The only time he wielded a cane was to chase out money changers in the temple. Today, churches are business transaction centers. Fraudsters swindle people's money in the name of "seed sowing". Financial irregularities, worse than money changing, go on in churches.

As a peasant - a carpenter - he had the audacity to stand up against religious leaders. Today, "Touch not my anointed" is the watchword of Christians. Churches, Catholics especially, evolved all manner of incantations (rosary, etc) liturgy, doctrines, dogmas that have more to do with pagan Roman culture than with the life of the man they claim to worship.

As a devout Jew who practiced Judaism, he has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity as a religion - a religion that has become a tool for mass control, acquisition of power and wealth; a religion that drove European politics in the Dark ages; a religion used as tool for the oppression and enslavement of the Black continent in time past; a religion that satiates power hungry men.

If it were today, the Pope and the Vatican mafia would be his worst enemy. The Bishops, Priests, Pastors, pulpit hustlers, ignorant Christian sheeple would condemn him to eternal damnation.

The concepts of Trinity, Virgin Birth, Immaculate conception and all other Christian doctrinal gibberish were invented decades after his death - mere human ideas foisted on gullible followers who cannot think for themselves.

I am a great fan of that humanist, but the religion that was formed in his name with all its fabricated doctrines and dogmas is what all humanists should reject. [/b]

joseph1013:
Well, it is a beautiful point you bring up. But it is not good enough for you to (subjectively) look at the wonder of the universe and human design and conclude that a being or deity is responsible.

It used to be obvious that the world was designed by some sort of intelligence. What else could account for fire and rain and lightning and earthquakes? Above all, the wonderful abilities of living things seemed to point to a creator who had a special interest in life. Today we understand most of these things in terms of physical forces acting under impersonal laws. We don't yet know the most fundamental laws, and we can't work out all the consequences of the laws we do know.

The human mind remains extraordinarily difficult to understand, but so is the weather. We can't predict whether it will rain one month from today, but we do know the rules that govern the rain, even though we can't always calculate their consequences. I see nothing about the human mind any more than about the weather that stands out as beyond the hope of understanding as a consequence of impersonal laws acting over billions of years.

The human eye does not show intelligent design. In fact it shows unintelligent design.

The configuration of the retina is in three layers, with the light-sensitive rods and cones at the bottom, facing away from the light, and underneath a layer of bipolar, horizonal, and amacrine cells, themselves underneath a layer of ganglion cells that help carry the signal from the eye to the brain. And this entire structure sits beneath a layer of blood vessels.

For optimal vision why would an intelligent designer have built an eye backwards and upside down? Because an intelligent designer did not build the eye from scratch. Natural selection built the eye from simple to complex using whatever materials were available, and in the particular configuration of the ancestral organism.

The human eye is not even the most complex...it is not the most well-developed. The octopus has a superior eye to us. Some animals even see more colour than us.

There are alot of examples from the human body to illustrate that if there is a designer at all, then the designer is very unintelligent.

Several flaws in the human design frequently result in death, especially without modern medical care:

- In the human female, a fertilized egg can implant into the fallopian tube, cervix or ovary rather than the uterus causing an ectopic pregnancy. The existence of a cavity between the ovary and the fallopian tube could indicate a flawed design in the female reproductive system. Prior to modern surgery, ectopic pregnancy invariably caused the deaths of both mother and baby. Even in modern times, in almost all cases, the pregnancy must be aborted to save the life of the mother.

- In the human female, the birth canal passes through the pelvis. The prenatal skull will deform to a surprising extent. However, if the baby’s head is significantly larger than the pelvic opening, the baby cannot be born naturally. Prior to the development of modern surgery (caesarean section), such a complication would lead to the death of the mother, the baby or both. Other birthing complications such as breech birth are worsened by this position of the birth canal.

- In the human male, testes develop initially within the abdomen. Later during gestation, they migrate through the abdominal wall into the scrotum. This causes two weak points in the abdominal wall where hernias can later form. Prior to modern surgical techniques, complications from hernias, including intestinal blockage, gangrene, etc., usually resulted in death.

- The existence of the pharynx, a passage used for both ingestion and respiration, with the consequent drastic increase in the risk of choking.

- The breathing reflex is stimulated not directly by the absence of oxygen but rather indirectly by the presence of carbon dioxide. A result is that, at high altitudes, oxygen deprivation can occur in unadapted individuals who do not consciously increase their breathing rate. Oxygenless asphyxiation in a pure-nitrogen atmosphere has been proposed as a humane method of execution that exploits this "oversight".

- The human appendix is a vestigial organ with no known purpose. However, appendicitis, an infection of this useless organ, is a certain death without medical intervention.

- Barely used nerves and muscles, such as the plantaris muscle of the foot, that are missing in part of the human population and are routinely harvested as spare parts if needed during operations. Another example is the muscles that move the ears, which some people can learn to control to a degree, but serve no purpose in any case.

- The common malformation of the human spinal column, leading to scoliosis, sciatica and congenital misalignment of the vertebrae.

- Almost all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin C, but humans cannot because the gene for this enzyme is defective. Lack of vitamin C results in scurvy and eventually death. The gene is also non-functional in other primates and in guinea pigs, but is functional in most other animals.

- The prevalence of congenital diseases and genetic disorders such as Huntington's Disease.

- Crowded teeth and poor sinus drainage, as human faces are significantly flatter than those of other primates and humans share the same tooth set. This results in a number of problems, most notably with wisdom teeth.

- The structure of humans' eyes (as well as those of all vertebrates). The retina is 'inside out'. The nerves and blood vessels lie on the surface of the retina instead of behind it as is the case in many invertebrate species. This arrangement forces a number of complex adaptations and gives mammals a blind spot.

You see, the human body does not show that any deity who may have designed us is intelligent.

kilo4sure:
I concur with this article, except for the fact that Christianity did not necessarily drive Europe into the dark ages. Europe going into the dark ages was inevitable due to the fall of Rome. It was Christianity that actually played a role in taming the barbarians who conquered Rome else it probably could have been a continuous cycle of conquest. I am not saying Christendom has been all bread and butter in history, of course not, but to correct this impression of dark ages and Christianity. Part of the reason why it was initially called dark ages was because we know quite little about events and developments during this time frame( 500-1000) A.D. From the 11th century Europe began to bubble slowly and only had the muhammedians to worry about.
Nice article though, l jumped in here because there are some atheists who for instance argue that Christianity is too passive and Pacifistic which led to the fall of Rome, but same atheist would turn around to blame Christianity for all the wars in Europe. Not saying you are one of those atheists though.

CHARLOE:
TThis is 1 of d most interesting threads I've com across on nl, Weldon. A quick one; would u say due to d inefficiency of a car n 1 or 2 poor designs in it, like poor fuel efficiency, poor axle design (like u find in most Honda cars), that it wasn't designed by any1/being, that it came by chance? (Assume d creator is not perfect ). If, like u say, d creator/god (or whoever u wish to call him/her) did a bad/poor job, y has man with all his accumulated knowledge, science n technology not been able to replicate/create a living thing, man or animal?
I've learnt a lot from atheists on nl, but just can't understand y u prefer throwing out d baby & d bbath water, even wen its obvious there's a baby in d bath water.
I'm sure u own a car n it breaks down sometimes, do u jump to d conclusion DAT it wasn't designed by an engineer, DAT it just came by chance?

joseph1013:
[b]LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CREATION ACCOUNT(S)

The bible contains 2 accounts of creation and both are quite contradictory. The first one is narrated in Genesis 1:1-31 and the second one is Genesis 2:4-25. The first account is what is popular with Christians and that is what I'll discuss.

It starts with the passage: "Gen. 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep."

This passage suggests that the whole universe (Earth and other heavenly bodies) was made at the same time and it was dark. This contradicts known facts about the Universe, as the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old and the Universe is about 13 billion years old. And so, the earth is much younger than the universe.

Going further down the narrative in the next couple of verses, Light was made next but the Sun wasn't made until Day 4. You have to wonder what this 'light' was since the only source of light for the earth is sunlight and then you also have to wonder how the days were counted since we count our days by the earth's rotation using daylight from the Sun. In other words, how were the first 3 days counted?

Moving on... The firmament was Created next. What is this? There's nothing like a firmament dividing the waters above(?) from the waters beneath the earth. This firmament thingy always confuses me. Explanations will be welcome in the comments section.

Next, Dry Land was created. This doesn’t make sense seeing as even if the earth was filled with water when made, the water would have been on land. In other words, land existed before water. No point having a special day to create land again.

Next, God made Plants before making the Sun. Another senseless narrative seeing as plants cannot possibly exist without the sun. In fact, life could not have existed BEFORE the Sun here on earth. The fact that the Sun only comes into play on the 4th day make nonsense of the whole creation story. Moving on...

Next, the sun and moon were made as light giving sources for night and day. But sadly, the moon is not a light source. The moon is a lifeless piece of rock that does not give it's own light. You would think the maker of the Universe would know this, No?

Next, he made the Stars also (as an afterthought?) "To give light upon the earth." Sadly, only a very tiny fraction of the billion billion 'Stars' can be visible from the earth and so their 'giving light' ability is severely limited in this regard. God no think this thing well o. Lol.

Next, he made animals and then Man. I wouldn't go into how it is an error to say Whales were made before Reptiles (that would be being too pedantic). In verse 27, it appears that 'Man' represented both male and female as they were made together and yet in the next chapter, the woman was made (again?) from the rib of man. Confusing sturvs, lol.

All in all, as a factual account of the origin of the universe, this creation story fails woefully BUT if taken as nothing more than Jewish folklore at par with other creation stories from different cultures around the world, it makes for interesting literature. The maker of the Universe should know how the Universe was made. This story couldn't have been inspired by It, Ergo the Bible has already failed from its first chapter as being a divinely inspired book.[/b]

pls the day you are done with nairaland don't ever deactivate your account we will need it for future reference and inspiration to upcoming freethinkers

joseph1013:
[b]The problem with your analogy of the car is that we know that a car was made. For instance, if there is ever any doubt about how a car was made, we are sure to have someone who would come forth to explain how it was made and if need be point you to the factory it was produced.

Secondly, saying that a perfect God is capable of making imperfect things is blasphemy. In some communities, the punishment is death. A perfect God is supposed to make things that keeps mortal men in reference. This is clearly not the case in humans.

Thirdly, saying man has not been able to replicate a living thing is very incorrect. One, the world has not ended and man is constantly working and each day, we are closer and closer to make more and more discoveries. You are being too impatient. Let me tell you of the advances we have made thus far:

- In 1986, a mouse was successfully cloned from an early embryonic cell.

- Dolly, a Finn-Dorset ewe, was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell in 1996.

- In 2000, the first pigs were cloned.

- A Haflinger female born 28 May 2003, was the first horse clone.

- A male Afghan hound was the first cloned dog (2005).

- Samrupa was the first cloned water buffalo in 2009.

- (2012) Noori, is the first cloned pashmina goat.

- (2013) The gastric brooding frog, Rheobatrachus silus, thought to have been extinct since 1983 was cloned in Australia.

Let's talk about humans:

- In January 2008, Dr. Andrew French and Samuel Wood of the biotechnology company Stemagen announced that they successfully created the first five mature human embryos using SCNT.

- In 2011, scientists at the New York Stem Cell Foundation announced that they had succeeded in generating embryonic stem cell lines.

- In 2013, a group of scientists led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov published the first report of embryonic stem cells created using SCNT.

- A year later, a team led by Robert Lanza at Advanced Cell Technology reported that they had replicated Mitalipov's results and further demonstrated the effectiveness by cloning adult cells using SCNT.

Can you see why I said you are very wrong? Man is working...we are making progress WITHOUT the need for God's intervention.[/b]

I implored u to ignore religion for d sake of our discourse but u cldnt help but bring it in, am not here to win argument but to learn.

I stated u shld assume d creator is not perfect cos I no u wld 1 2 harp on a perfect god making imperfect things. Who told u he/she/it is perfect? Same religious books filled wit lies n half truths.

Can u 4get d bible, quoran n any religious book n whatever dey say for a moment n look around u, observe ur body, nature; can u sincerely say there's no intelligent design n order in nature?

I said man has not bin able to, n u say am wrong n went on to say man cld in future, so hw am I wrong?

Did d scientists make/create d cell dat was cloned? Did they put d genes n all d components of d cell in it? Cloning is not creation, its building on an intelligent design. Call me when scientists develop a cell from scratch.

THE EXALTATION OF MEDIOCRITY

"What else can I do to prove I am the greatest? I'm trying to be one of the greatest...

"I have made the sport exciting, I have made people want to see the sport. I have put the sport on a different level." ~ Usain Bolt.

This is not pride. This is not arrogance. This is honesty. This is self-confidence. This is him telling you that only YOU are responsible for your success and failure.

Contrast the above to the average Nigerian mediocre response:

"My brother, it's God ooo. In fact, I don't even know how the thing take happen. Na only God's grace ooo".

This is not humility. It is exaltation of mediocrity.

PastorAIO:
Haba! But sometimes you've just got to admit that 'luck' plays a big part in many successes. This is a fact recognised by many successful people.

There is something called the Napoleon test. Apparently he wasn't much interested in how qualified a general was or how clever he was, he would first check to see if the guy has been lucky in his life.

PastorAIO:
In the process of writing the last post I found a webpage with quotes of Napoleon, some of which you'll like.



“Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte

“History is a set of lies agreed upon.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte


“A leader is a dealer in hope.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte


“Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte

“You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte, Napoleon's Memoirs

“A woman laughing is a woman conquered.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte, In the Words of Napoleon: A Collection of Quotations of Napoleon Bonaparte



“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte

Some of these quotes are quite witty.

Napoleon is lucky he wasn't born in the era of Genghis Khan, the terror.
