KingEbukasblog can you give us examples of countries that have ''godly'' and not ''religious'' leaders?

Lol...I would say free thought is a journey, of which atheism is just the first probable bus stop. However, any traveller who remains at this bus stop is a lazy one. For absence of evidence, if anything, calls for a more thorough search. Not a conclusion!

I have taken the liberty of assuming that you have carried out a 'thorough search'. What pray tell did you find?

SMH...Just nine month are you are complaining.

larisoft:
Atheism, as I perceive it, is the first bustop for youngsters in philosophy, whom basking in their new found freedom from restricted thought, fall prey to the logical abomination of reaching conclusions before conducting research.

The picture it paints is that of a man who says "God exists. How do I know? Faith". And after some time, he says "God doesnt exist. How do I know? Faith!"

In what world does the absence of evidence to prove a thing constitute evidence to prove its absence?

Why can't we be honest with ourselves and admit that our knowledge ends where it does and to know more, we have to resort to that old, slow, but reliable means of human advancement called research? And maintain a widely open mind while at it?

I dont see how a person can be an atheist and a free thinker...The thought process of an atheist is already bent on proving the non-existence of a thing, as opposed to drifting in consonance with the random waves of facts, evidence, and logic, towards an unknown destination.

Atheism is not free thinking. Its just negative faith.

Freethought in many cases leads to atheism. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Horrible family.

But if she was doing ashi work dem no go remember to "disown" am. Useless hypocrites.

If the family is horrible what about the girl? The embarassment that she has brought to the family makes her what? If she did not have enough sense to be discreet about her queer activities then she deserves whatever she gets. Make civilization no cause us to no get sense again.

neocortex:
This is all gibberish,
There are more atheists in the world than gates and zuckerberg and
they do speak up against the unjust god doctrines.
Hypocrisy is when you spend your whole time telling people how great
your god is but you don't want to be questioned in return.

Just imagine. There is even no way of knowing whether those guys talk about their atheism or not. The OP is filled with a lot of assumptions. Mark Zuckerberg's Wikipedia page describes him as a ''sworn atheist''. I wonder what that means.

Wow. Na to find visa to Iceland sure pass now.

nzeobi:
Good write up with biblical backing but please explain that of 3 gifts to jesus again,
I know it's myrrh, frankincense and gold

There were three gifts, but the number of wise men was not disclosed. People just assume from those gifts that they were three. The Bible did not say that.

ucheokpara100:
I thankGod i'm alife today to advice someone in this situation my dear sista i was their but now i'm the most hapiest person everything will be fine because if u atempt and fail my dear u will regret cos u will definatly damage sometin and disfigure ursef, now i cant swallow Eba or anytin swallow because i damaged my gullet pls dont try it.

Now this is funny.

This is the first time I'm hearing this. Strange.

Beckyblanca:
Fornication and debauchery thrive in the church today. some pastors even claim it is necessary to TEST before marriage. why is it not frowned upon if they are truly representing Christ? hedonism is a norm and no one cares about what the Bible says about it. men come to the church to select girls for their hedonistic orgies and girls do the same. when will the church authority ever rise up and cleanse the church off this filthiness?

Lies. Which church is that?

*coughs* *coughs*

MykOnyxo:
Send me a message on whatsapp and let me do some explanations on that. Showing you some aiota of paganism in prominent religions and how they found their way in it..
08139193178

Rubbish. Explain it here.

God I need a third of that. Who wants to give me?

adjoviomole:
Because google could not provide the answer so I came to ask the wise men on nairaland.

Na so!!

So when they went to the hospital the doctors could not detect it was HIV abi na which kind super story be this?

adjoviomole:
If that's how you feel fine its none of my biz, everyone is entitled to der opinion. And whose attention would I be seeking here?

Everyone's. If this is is not the case, why did you not take your inquiry to google?

adjoviomole:
Same way the atheist can check online if they want to know about God. Are they also seeking attention?

Perhaps. At least you did not deny your attention-seeker status.

raphieMontella:
lol i didnt think of that o..
The truth is that:consciousness has never been immune to the authority of the brain...
thats what im sure of..

No one is sure of this. No one!

raphieMontella:
i need to know your views first..so as to be able to create a base

oh i see..
Ive Read it up..but its still one of those things..
Like that anita...a christian would say yhwh healed her...a muslim will say allah..
She..said none of those figures did so..she didnt switch religions or become religious..only more spiritual..

You want to know my views so that you can back me into a corner. It should be about truth and not putting one's views down.

raphieMontella:
we are saying the same thing...why does your ''i'' feel this effect? If it was immune to the authority of the brain...
Somethings just happen...
A man named Jason padgett became a mathematical genius after he was hit on the head by robbers...was ignorant in mathematics before..
I dont think if this ''immaterial I'' can exist nd function without the brain.

I guess we'll never never reach a point of agreement since there's no way of knowing for sure whether the brain is involved or not. There's an explanation for what happened to your Padgett guy though, Savant syndrome it's called.

dimieprincess:
I now believe that 90% of zombies are stark illiterates. I am usually taken aback on how they write, may be they are paying someone to do it for them because their reasoning is just like a day baby.

No one above is asking EFCC to charge her to court to prove her ownership just as Professor Itsa Sagay opined. You don't just maligned people because you are poor, this hatred though caused by poverty of the mind is been taken too far.

Gerrrarraaahiaaa!!!

Omudia:
Or you just don't have an answer. Last time a Christian posted this topic, all the atheists got owned.

You wish.

raphieMontella:
im not ''sure...''
but from all ive acquired.NDE's are natural
e.g when you take alchohol,,''you'' become ''high'' because the chemicals react with your system...
How can physical chemicals make the ''immaterial you'' to get high?
Reflex actions..if the inside ''you'' controls ''you'' how does it control/perform reflexes?
The ''you'' is not independent of the brain,,eyes etc..they work together with the brain the focal figure.


yes...i do..
As to why such happens? I have no idea...she's not even a theist right?
But it does not necessarily imply ''supernatural''t
like earthquake lights...we have no idea
theres a phenomenom called ''travelling stones abi sailing stones''..we have no correct idea on the stones but it doesnt mean a demon is pushing them..

The effects of alcohol wear off once the alcohol is out of your system. You can take alcohol anytime to re-create its effect. This is clearly physical, or do you know anyone who has had a permanent physiological alteration as a result of alcohol intake?

winner01:
Ranchhoddas would be an atheist if not for reason.

Hmmmm...

I'll take take yes

raphieMontella:
had to go watch epl...liverpool made my night
yes...and no....

Conte don disappoint me.

raphieMontella:
okay...
All she experienced happened in her brain...
The brain had to create events to make up for ''lost time'' and other factors also...more likely when she was coming out of ''coma''
okay..how can a brain dealing on material frequency be able to recollect experiences of a distinct immaterial being that occured at an immaterial frequency?
Thats why brain damage leads to loss of memory from this -''soul''

How exactly can you tell how the ''immaterial frequency'' works. How are you sure it is incompatible with the material brain. Her material body went into ''spontaneous remission'' remember?

Oliviaarims:
Number one is true, though. It's good to exhume an sir of confidence. No slouching!

Exude. No be deadbody.

LordofNairaland:
