Really?? Why in this case and not in every other case??

felixomor:
The same OR used in Twelve OR a dozen?

Atheism, is a greek word derivative.

And it is mutually exclusive and contradictory to Theism.

U can only but suit urself.

randomperson:
Philosophy is a Greek word. And it etymologically means love of wisdom. But obviously, philosophy means more than that these days... The dictionary definitions supersede any etymological meaning

randomperson:
*yawns* ... Your definition of atheism has no bearing on what it actually is... And it's totally irrelevant in the light of actual authoritative definitions... So nice try... Both the moral argument and cosmological arguments have been rubbished, there's no point beating a dead dog

felixomor:
U r the one who brought "other cases" into this discussion.

randomperson:
U have to show why etymology is a reliable means of definition... If etymology doesn't explain every word then it's inconsistent and u can't just choose when u want to use etymology... But the dictionary definitions are more accurate... Yes??

felixomor:
The "more than that" are jara.
The greek definition remains the center.

If u gather the jara and leave the center, u r fake

I'm not sure how this is difficult to understand

If you say that God exists , isn't the opposite God does not exist ?

And since page 1 , some people can't grasp this

felixomor:
Yes

randomperson:
What's this one saying like this... The Greek translation of an English word is more valid than the meaning in an English dictionary??
I already showed u how etymology fails to adequately define philosophy...

randomperson:
What's the purpose of a dictionary?? Definition or etymology??

randomperson:
This thing is very simple. Is the dictionary wrong? Yes or no??

felixomor:
Without the greek, u wont know the word.

KingEbukasBlog:
Let me see this dictionary definition . See what these ones tell me

randomperson:
Why not open the pages, copy the definitions and post the links... It's not that hard. That's what felixomor and myself did

I posted a snippet instead . Reload your page

randomperson:
Why are u avoiding question?? Is the Greek translation more valid than the dictionary definition?

4everGod:


Now so if we need checks and balances and you say morality is based on human laws then how come the same humans who put forward these laws as a form of checks and balances also end up breaking the same laws the put up for checks and balances?

Can you say that the human law givers actually got it right and their efforts at creating actual checks and balances is a perfect one?

You got my moniker wrong
Now back to your question
The only way I can prove to you that Atheism is logical is by showing you the illogicality in your religion
My phone is about to power off
I'll be back

KingEbukasBlog:
I've taken time to understand how grossly illogical atheism is : the study of the history of atheism , atheist arguments , the perception of atheists concerning nature etc have led me to this conclusion .

But can atheists change my perception ?


So Nairaland atheists , can you prove that atheism is not illogical ?

Please note that religious skepticism is not atheism or agnosticism .

dalaman:
Moral laws are not perfect. Laws in the past used to permit and regulate slavery for example. Now there are allows that permit and allow child marriages in some parts of the world. Moral codes are never perfect they are human constructs that serve as checks and balances for human activities.

ifenes:
You know my stand on Athiesm.

mrmrmister:
Kingebukasblog, as earlier stated, I will prove that atheism is logical by showing the illogicalities of your religion.
Let's begin!
