MissTeaseMe:
No need for us to keep going back and forth. I have tried to reason with you and see things from your perspective perhaps i would believe again, but you dont have anything tangible.

I am sure you dont understand all the questions i have asked so far (judging from you replies), i will wait for someone that understands and that can answer them not wrap them up with what he thinks, but what he can prove.

Thanks once again.

u didn't ask ME

MissTeaseMe:
I know you really want me to be saved. That is so sweet.
Thanks

But honestly without foolishness no one can believe the bible. It requires one dropping his wisdom and ability to question and just believe what the bible say.

As a christain, you know this is true and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud to be a foool for christ. Trying to argue and prove point will only frustrate any christain.

Believe me i have not even presented difficult questions here. Do you know how many debates intellectuals hav had in history over this matter? Just google "debates btw atheists and christain"

Lol

Keep your faith sir and dont be ashamed of it, but if you want to be proving scripture... Hmmmm, it cant work oh. There is just no proof of anything. Only assumptions or based on faith.

Thanks once more

ur argument is based on ur view of the Bible and Christianity but mine is based on the universal knowledge based on totality of reality beyond just this life or dimension. u see Christians as people with less knowledge who rely on the Bible as their encyclopedia but they are actually connected to the fountain of knowledge and wisdom. all the 'fairy tales ' you condemn are actually facts by which with the right discernment channels wisdom into man. they are able to think outside the box simply by connecting to the right source. you can get that too by reading the Bible and asking Jesus Christ to come into your life

Mr Bakare shouldn't have walked out of the Church. Only riff-raffs do that.

We all know Kumuyi's level and authority today, while Bakare is somewhere in Lagos fulfilling the mission of APC whilst propagating Bible sermons.

TV is a devil's box (like it or not)! Only a pastoral riff-raff will make inference to a JOY soap advert on the pulpit! The same advert that depicts unclothedness, unclad models, et cetera.

By their fruits, we shall know them!

and you know there are more pornsites online than TV, right? Jesus Christ said what defies a man is not TV but what he does with it

Idrismusty97:
The picture is just an illustrations. The mom is the "god" in that picture. And one of the child demand prove before believing, the other accept her existence hook, line and sinker. Remember both of them are even clueless. The atheist child choose not to believe in her so it is her choice to roast him, something she nurture for 9 months. Assuming such scenario exist and after a mum roast one of her child, is she wicked?

Seriously, will any mother allow her child to thrown into hell for such ridiculous reasons? What does believing/unbelieving change? It is not as if the believer will stop "sinning" or will end up more generous than the unbeliever.

the baby that got the idea of a mother depicts common sense. you don't need proof for rhetorical logic. but your existence is already a proof of a Supreme Being

@MissTeaseMe: if you myopic about only this plane of existence then you will find it very intriguing at ur transition. I'm trying hard not to overwhelm you with the truth of being naive and gullible to the devil.

there are many ways God speaks to Man but is taken in disregard. the devil however is making all skilled efforts in deception of man.
eternity, remember, is not a measure of time but purpose. all dimensions end up bare in afterlife where physical laws are infinitesimal. to simplify all what have said after death is judgement which is final

onetrack:
not believing in mom would be a sin according to her.

yeah, as long as they have been informed

Idrismusty97:
At least the mum wouldn't throw them to the lake of fire for not believing. This is the most dumbest picture i have ever seen .

she WILL allow them to be thrown into the lake of fire if they were given free will to disbelieve her existence
. remember God doesn't throw one into hell, you just decided to spend ur eternity there

onetrack:
And if the two babies don't believe that mom exists, will she set them on fire when they are born in order to punish them?

yeah but they don't have any sins yet

LordReed:
Oh wow, the brts are moving?

yeah

davien:
At the end of the day....its a pic of unborn twins debating about the existence of "mom" is all you could do.....
no wonder talking donkeys seem perfectly natural to you

donkeys do talk to each other in their own way

Seun:
"The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law."

In other words, the bible says that anything in the bible that doesn't make sense doesn't make sense because it's not supposed to make sense, so you should just ignore those things and focus on doing the things that the bible says you should do. Don't you think that's a lousy argument?Suppose you're a student and your teacher says something that makes no sense. Would you accept it just because he said he's always right?

the Bible is a book that unlock keys to a lot of understanding. but without a good guidance ,one can easily be mislead. and this I mean Holy Spirit not some 'man of God' the Bible is a manual but the choice of where you spend eternity is yours

it's a shame atheism is an excuse some tend to seek solace in

davien:
I honestly do not know what you mean by the above paradox statement....
what I will say however is how fiendish your belief is.....if I already accept a claim as true.....won't I already follow suit to proclaim it true(belief)....
why is this claim not taken on its own merits but rather needs to be instilled into ones mind without question?
If you ever attended a school....were lessons instilled on your mind without question and did you attempt to verify the lessons taught with practical applications?.....If so,why does your "god" claim skip the basics of learning...?

it has nothing to do with beliefs but knowing God truly exists. evidences as simple as grand design to complexity of consciousness are enough to tell you there's no need for anyone to instill lessons into mind. imagine if there's no God? all the laws of physics or mathematical fundamentals will always be subjected to randomized results.
moreover won't you jump classes you already know the lessons? if you can understand quantum physics just by reading the bible will you still disprove the possibilities of the events in the bible and treat them as fairy tales?

davien:
interesting....you know your "god" exists? can you prove it? and point of correction proffdada....atheists do not need to justify disbeliefs....because the said belief from the start of theists is unjustified...do you justify that which is unjustified from the start? .......
Let me ask you a question.....when you know something is true and need to educate others on it....do you teach or dogmatically burn that knowledge into the person you are addressing?..if you know your "god" claim is true...why were you indoctrinated to believe?

I thought I drew a line between belief and knowledge.

davien:
or rather you place "god" in the gaps of human knowledge just like a primitive will say back in 3000 B.C.E that thunder being a limit of human knowledge then....housed "gods"
and please do enlighten us of how you know there are 10 dimensions...and you claim you have concrete evidence of this all...yet you speak of "experiences"....

I've given you one and only way to know this : accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour and the rest will be unveiled. you will begin to see and not believe

davien:
and yet you are the one who believes in talking donkeys

there is a difference between believing and knowing. I know there's a Supreme Entity called God which mere mortals try to disprove to justify their disbelief. this God has power over all dimensions and can alter anyone of them just to satisfy those who call on Him

Idrismusty97:
Huh? You need to watch the videos again. I think the first is specially made for you . You can learn something from the second also although atheists on Nairaland have long been emphasizing on those points.

yeah I learnt how shallow the mind of an atheist is

I've seen the videos and I'm impressed. the devil has found better ways of corrupting naive minds. but who has will against a powerful spirit even older than man and knows all the tricks? better cling unto Jesus Christ the saviour or you'll find how exciting and meaningful hell is.
the tempter has found three planes of deception to man's feeble heart
1. don't believe there is a God
2. believe in the wrong god
3. believe in the right God but the wrong way
now every atheist should know that at the beginning of the universe, time didn't exist because it was part of the 10 dimensions(9 spatial and 1 temporal dimensions ) that resulted from the collision of matter and antimatter. we are aware of 3 spatial and 1 temporal dimensions but others are interwoven and unknown. within the limits of human knowledge God and other supernatural beings exist. I've experienced this with concrete evidence and I hope you'll do too when you let Him in

the longest running children program that educated a lot of people in their early years is clocking 45 years on November 10th. this program is most educative compared to other imitations like Barney and teletubies and it's always start studded.

You don't get to be the
longest-running children's show in U.S. TV
history by doing the same thing over and over.
So even though parents who grew up watching
"Sesame Street" can still see old favorites like
Big Bird, things on the street have changed
since the show debuted 45 years ago on Nov. 10,
1969.
Cookie Monster now exercises self-control and
sometimes eats fruits and vegetables. Millions of
kids watch the show on phones and computers
instead of TV. And there's less time spent on
the street with human characters. They're just
not energetic enough for today's viewers.
New Brand Named Watches!
BrandNamedWatches.Com
In Britain, a BBC kids' show, "Blue Peter," is even
older — on since 1958 — but that "Sesame
Street" still exists in the U.S. at all, given the
competition here, says a lot. In 1973, it was one
of two shows on U.S. television for preschoolers.
Now it's competing with 84 kids' shows on TV
and countless others online. Yet "Sesame Street"
still holds its own, ranking 20th among kids ages
2 to 5 with 850,000 viewers per TV episode,
according to Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit
organization behind the show.
But now half the viewers watch it in digital
formats. Options include SesameStreet.org,
PBSKids.org, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and some
50 apps. A "Sesame Street" YouTube channel
has a million subscribers and 1.5 billion views.
And touchscreens have been "a magic wand for
us in terms of engagement," says "Sesame
Street" senior vice president Scott Chambers.
Kids can trace letters or point to colors or
shapes, and the app provides positive
reinforcement.
"Sesame Street" also has the highest "co-
viewing" experience — meaning adults watching
with kids — of any preschool show: 49 percent of
"Sesame Street" viewers are over age 18. "We're
very proud of that," said Chambers. "We design
the show to engage the parent because we
know that's more educational. If you have a
parent watching with you, you're going to learn
much more."
That's why sketches often have contemporary
celebrity guests or pop culture references that 2-
year-olds don't get, but adults do. A James Bond
parody stars Cookie Monster as a secret agent,
Double-Stuffed 7, in "The Spy Who Loved
Cookies." Another show celebrates "what makes
people special," with Elmo telling Lupita Nyong'o
that her skin "is a beautiful brown color." The
actress responds, "Skin comes in lots of
beautiful shades and colors ... I love my skin!"
It's a classic "Sesame Street" lesson about
diversity that goes back to its groundbreaking
roots as one of the few shows in the 1970s to
feature all races and ethnicities. Today the show
also routinely features children with disabilities.
Parents whose kids watch old episodes may be
puzzled by warnings that the material may be
inappropriate for today's children. But remember
"Monsterpiece Theater," a parody of PBS'
"Masterpiece Theater"? Back in the day, Cookie
Monster hosted the show as Alistair Cookie, and
he had a pipe, imitating the real show's human
host Alistair Cooke. Cookie Monster gobbled the
pipe up rather than smoking it, but any reference
to smoking is now unacceptable.
The music has changed too. Those memorable
lyrics, "Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away, on
my way to where the air is sweet," still open
every episode, but now the song has a
syncopated, jazzier beat. Other sketches feature
hip-hop or Latin music. In one new episode,
rocker Elvis Costello pops up singing, "A monster
went and ate my red two" to the tune of his
famous line, "Angels wanna wear my red shoes."
The Dracula-like Count von Count puppet uses a
disco beat to teach a lesson about the number
nine in his "Number of the Day" segment, and
every episode ends with "Elmo the Musical," with
Broadway-style songs and a velvet curtain.
Newer seasons also feature less of the actual
street with human characters, and more puppets
in skits with animation or other technical
wizardry. Executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente
says the puppets "have a madcap energy to
them" that helps "Sesame Street" compete with
the many other kids shows that are animated.
"Sesame Street" also is unique because before
any scripts are written, child development
experts offer input on what today's kids need to
succeed in school. That's why in addition to
teaching letters, numbers and values, the show
now teaches behaviors like impulse control and
listening to directions.
"Cookie Monster has been our poster child for
self-regulation because of his love of cookies,"
said Parente. The puppet sometimes now eats
fruits and vegetables instead — although he may
also devour the plate, table and chair.
Elmo also remains a central part of the show,
despite a real-world scandal in which three men
accused the puppeteer behind Elmo, Kevin
Clash, of underage sexual abuse. Those lawsuits
were dismissed in 2013 because the statute of
limitations on the accusations had run out.
Not all of today's parents love "Sesame Street."
Some say it simply doesn't keep their kids'
attention. Daphne Mallory, a mother of four in
Twin Falls, Idaho, grew up watching "Sesame
Street" but says her four children don't. "It lost
its relevance," she said. "It's geared toward
engaging the parents watching the program with
their children, rather than truly educating the
children. While I appreciate celebrity
appearances, I find it distracting more than
adding to the experience."
But Lori Chajet of Brooklyn, New York, says her
daughters, now 7 and 10, loved it — including old
episodes they got on tape — while she and her
husband appreciated the emphasis on
multiculturalism and the pop culture references
for adults.
"Little kids learn from it," said her 7-year-old
daughter Sasha, "but they really have a really fun
time watching it."

I am asthmatic too...and I've learnt a lot tru this thread...I just wanna know if anyone knows abt marijuana and asthma...cos I tink it suppresses d attack. Cos I noticed that when I smoked marijuana @ a certain time of my life, I could go 3 months without a symptom talk more of an attack... Smoking is bad I kno, and I've stopped it buh I wanna kno if one can still take it tru other means like cooking it...pls anyone who has experienced this should shed more light...we re all here to learn...

asthma is triggered by allergens therefore can be psychosomatic i.e linked with the mind and mood. anyone who believes he /she can be healed by herbal mixture, faith or exercise is on the right path however smoking aggreviates production of more allergens which increases frequency of the attacks. u were only relieved by ur faith so it's a bad move to suggest weed as a treatment

does it mean statistically women are carriers?

Noting concern me and android.........

u be girl?

Pinshures or adonbilivit

I guess some people don't know the horror of sharia using UAE and Qatar as a yardstick. in a diversified country like Nigeria Sharia won't only be biased but it'll be used as a weapon of suppression and justification of terrorism. those countries thrive because of singularity of ethnicity and religion

great innovation, FP
