God has not sent Someone Somewhere to nominate people from a certain region to occupy the the post of the VP, let alone Presidency. Even the Ijaw have had it better.

Hehehe. You dey find trouble abi?

dunkem21:

Somebody should wake up these dudes from slumber and tell them they're in the second year already..

Dollar, Garri, Recession, Hunger dey and we are here talking about silly nomination..

As in eh. Fire dey burn dem dey pursue rat when dey run comot. Stupid people!

PastorAIO:
And what scale is that exactly? I didn't know that there were scales for measuring impossible deeds. Are you suggesting that there are degrees of impossibility?

So you don't know about Jains but you are ready to conclude that there is no religion as hard to practice as christianity therefore Christianity must be the truth.

Instantaneous and on the spot. (Unless you want to deny or explain them away)

hopefulLandlord:
did you see the part on that thread which said a religious person can ALWAYS ask for forgiveness for ANY sin?

atheists don't have a Skydaddy that they'll pray to for forgiveness and all will be well

there was even a thread opened by a Christian on restitution months back and so many Christians said a Christian shouldn't restitute

Promise10 was one of those

it basically means I can embezzle public funds and pray for forgiveness while spending the loot

and before you counter this, you have to provide a verse which Christians are commanded to restitute or Muslims too (if you know)

I know say na wetin you go talk be this. The Bible is clearly against sinning willfully because of available forgiveness. Anyone doing this is going contrary to God's will (Romans 6:1).

hopefulLandlord:
we move on by theists desisting from accusing atheists of becoming one because they want to sin

it can be argued that its easier to sin as a theist (especially Christian/Muslim) than an atheist

I'm all ears/eyes.

hopefulLandlord:
Amal Farrah left Islam because of it

you can check Coldhardtruth's thread for her story

I still have to confirm this. But what about Islamic songs?

hopefulLandlord:
nah, don't compare me with him

the threads I refer people to are not "debunked" unlike the threads he refers people to

that thread explains "atheism and sin" in as clear terms as possible

You have denied the concept of sin. It does not exist to you so how can we move forward when we don't have common ground.

Seun:
Are you required to pray elaborately five times a day with your head on the floor and your ass in the air while facing a particular direction? Are you required to cover your body from head to toe even on a hot afternoon in the desert? Could you be stoned to death for being raped, or have your hands amputated for petty theft? Are you forbidden from tasting wine or pork or listening to music? If none of the above is true, then maybe the standards of your religion aren't that high?

These are rituals. I mean that your moral conduct, down to what you think is regulated. Islam has got nothing on Christianity abeg, and I have not heard that Muslims are forbidden from listening to music.

hopefulLandlord:
wrong!!!

You don the catch the Ebuka syndrome abi? Referring me to your old threads.

CoolUsername:
How much of a choice do you really get? Indoctrination, like I said can cause a person to hold deep beliefs in matters. This, coupled with the fact that most religious tenets are not to be questioned or changed, isn't exactly going to produce an open mind in that area.
Isn't that what faith is all about?

That's exactly why we see people trying to twist the words of their holy books in a bid to for them into reality.

I'm not going to answer your accusation, it's baseless and unfounded.

The point remains that you broke away. Why?

PastorAIO:
There are miracles in Jainism too. You'll be very hard pressed to find a religion without miracles.

What do Christians proscribe that Jains do not.

The miracles are not on the same scale as those in Christianity. I don't know all the dos and donts so Jainism so I can't answer the second question.

raphieMontella:
funny enough..its actually christians that want to sin...
Why---you have a ''buy-back clause''..so you want to sin and whenever you do...you ask the all-merciful God for forgiveness...
And its forgiven..and you repeat the funny cycle over and over..

P.s buy-back clause is used with my full awareness of the words meaning.

Even if SOME Christians do this, most do not and you also know that the Bible is clearly against this. (Romans 6:1). So you have to look at what the faith teaches and not what some people are doing.

JackBizzle:
I see that you like imaginary things

I dare you to deny my claims in clear terms. State categorically that you have no designs on that lass and shut the gates of Ishi's kingdom to you forever. It's a dare.....Think carefully before you respond, your next reply might have dire consequences.

PastorAIO:
So christianity is hard therefore it is true. Is that your reasoning?

Then what do you want to call Jainism. Super Real Deal?

Jainism basically preaches non-violence and ascetism. I cannot think of anything apart from eating animals that Jainists proscribe which Christians do not. I also do not think that instant miracles (however one may try to explain them away) take place in Jainism.

JackBizzle:
I fear the nasty part.......

She is also religiously brainwashed. MFM/deeper life

I have decided to construe this comment as an agreement with my initial postulation.

JackBizzle:
See this monkey. You are the one that fancies her. Abegi, shift.

I have impeccable instincts and you are yet to deny my allegations. Let's face it, she's smart, pretty and nasty on the side. Just what you desire in a dame. Delay is dangerous bro. Man up!!

JackBizzle:
Ode, why did you run out of the thread...

You did not deny it. This is your chance to come out clean. She's clearly not sensitive to reverse psychology.

JackBizzle:


I should scram?
You must think that nairaland is your father's house. Better go and get married, old cargo

After following you as logicboy for years, I have come to the conclusion that you have a thing for that lady. You just have a crazy way of displaying it. This might just be love and you know that true love is hard to find. Don't fight it bro. *runsoutofthread*

zeb04:
Why do people care so much about others on this forum ,that is so insane

This is just crazy,i mean you have the whole profile of everyone here. What the hell is that,who is cougs,who is who !bullshit that's why people keep leaving ,market square

By the way every marriage is different, do what works for you.

So shocked.

The thing just tire me. People take this Nairaland too seriously,

EyeHateGod:
I don't claim to be smart, But are u Smarter than him? Huh? I mean someone that can't even "Understand" a Short Thread... How smart can they be?

I don't hate the imaginary but i guess u might be really dumb and blind when i gave an answer to the other guy above about My moniker? are u really on some blue pill? Or it's just plain delusion and love for the imaginary like you put it? Lwkmd

Gosh man. Stop misbehaving on your own thread!

CoolUsername:
Of course atheistic indoctrination is a thing. There are a lot of atheists who practise that, but atheists are by no means monolithic. I, for one, would raise my child without religion; he/she can later make that choice once mature enough. The problem is that indoctrination is intrinsic to EVERY. SINGLE. RELIGION that I know. True or false?

Ditto for religion. I concede that upbringing is a major factor in one's choice of religion, but at the end of the day grown-ups get to choose. You chose to leave didn't you? Why then do you think you are smarter or wiser than those who have chosen to stay?

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
Shut the Bleep up, OMG which kind human being be this self, If i were to be one of you family i will order for your obituary.

Leave the slowpoke alone. They are part of the problem in this country.

EyeHateGod:
You Call yourself smart? dumb poke

I meant that the person who quoted me was smarter than you judging from both your responses. Understanding can be really hard when you hate the imaginary. I sympathize with you.

EyeHateGod:
Can u give me an Example of Kid with Atheistic upbringing? Me and winner01 and hopefullandlord went over this b4 And like i said if u have noting reasonable to say stay the fu*k out of my thread!

I had already left the thread until someone else (clearly smarter than you) quoted me.

CoolUsername:
That's not what this is about. We know what childhood indoctrination can do to a person (see ISIS, Boko Haram, etc.)

All OP is saying is that it creates bias in the child's mind and hinders said child's ability to make informed decisions in the future. The worst aspect of this is that you can make a child believe anything whatsoever through indoctrination.

Have you been taking blue pill lately?

I can also say the same for kids with atheistic upbringing. They are not given a chance to evaluate religions. They are brought up to regard it as unecessary and irrelevant. How is this not indoctrination?

raphieMontella:
screaming?----evangelicals? Or supposed visits to hell?

Both!

EyeHateGod:
Is this guilty conscience speaking or what? pls m not ready for games if you don't have anything reasonable to Say pls stay out my thread all this childish attitude annoys me!

You obviously don't get your own thread. This is what copy and paste does to a person.

So wetin be the point of this thread now? Your lack of 'conditioning' makes you smarter?

hopefulLandlord:
you mean

plethora of engagements without end

na, even beer volcano and having sex with strippers would become a chore

BTW, you haven't answered the question

The answer to your question is that one gets tired of doing the same thing, no matter how interesting after a while. You are already assuming without any knowledge whatsoever that whatever we do in Heaven is going to be a monotonous affair. But what if it's a different thing, a new experience each time. Let me give an example: Personally I love watching American TV shows (especially thrillers)- I really love Game of Thrones for example that I have watched it about five times (start to finish), others that I really love are 24, Homeland, Strike back etc. I have watched these things over and over and I only go out to look for shows that are on the same level as the above mentioned. Do you think I'll ever get tired of watching new TV shows that are on the same level as these? Absolutely not. As long as there are shows that can match or even beat GOT on the market, I'll never get tired of watching them even if I live for a billion years as every one is a new experience. You have been watching the UCL for years, are you tired yet even though it's the same football that is played every week. Why? Will you ever get tired of watching Real Madrid?...I realize that this is a rather crude way of explaining this but I believe you get the point. CC: Lennycool

I have taken the time to read through your rather long write-up and I think I agree with you to a great degree, especially the part you talked about the love of sin as a reason for many people turning to atheism and wishing the inevitable away. The standards set by Christ are incredibly high- they border on ridiculous at first glance and at face value. This explains why skeptics appear to be lenient on other belief systems compared to Christianity. This leads me to the rational suspicion that Christianity is the real deal. Add supernatural occurences to the mix and we have a winner.

hopefulLandlord:
its obvious eternity would get very boring after a while; imagine "enjoying" for eternity

that "enjoyment" would turn to "suffering" if you don't suffer once in a while

let's imagine there's a food you regard as your best food but you can't afford to eat that food everyday because its pretty expensive; so you eat this food once in a while and you enjoy it every time; you tell everyone who cares to listen that you would love eating the food for the rest of your life if you can afford it and you actually mean it

one day, you got a letter from the court that a very distant relative of yours who only knew you as a baby and had drifted apart from you since then died of old age and left you £1B in inheritance

suddenly you can eat that food you've always LOVED as many times as possible till you die

so you start eating only that, morning, noon, night

I promise you that you'll HATE the food before 6 months; when I say HATE, I mean real hate that you'll feel like vomiting anytime you see that food

why?

This is a rather earthly view of eternity. Heavenly eternity is most likely going to contain a plethora of engagements which our very limited minds cannot possibly fathom now.
