striktlymi: Ironically you seem to be in agreement with Peter on how the End will come:

2Peter 3:10

10 But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that Day the heavens will disappear with a shrill noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth with everything in it will vanish.

Purely coincidental, no doubt.

The way I See it, if Global Warming doesn't finish us off first, then the real threat will come from space.

Movies like “Deep Impact” and “Armageddon” may be
works of fiction, but the threat of an asteroid hitting the planet is quite real. After all, the Earth and moon have
craters that prove they have a long history of being hit by large objects from space. There is an especially big crater on Mars that may have been the result of a big asteroid hitting the planet in the past, and thus wiping an entire ancient civilization from it, who knows?

I'll be watching the latest episode tonight. Salivating for more plot holes.

Hilarious.

Thumbs up OP.

Officiallyurs: ah pity crazy eyes jor. she is actually not as bad as that abortion babe that tried to kill piper, i cant remember her name but she is always calming she speak to her she is more delusional than crazy eyes.

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett is crazy but in a sly manipulative way. She cannot be manipulated and influenced, rather, she does the manipulation. She was a big deal with large fanatical following before getting incarcerated for attempted murder.

Season one, she can be seen as the leader of a "radical religious group" inside the correctional facility's walls. She's talented and can heal people by touching the origin of their ailment as she demonstrated on skeptical Watson. She doesn't like been made a fool of and that can momentarily usher in the dark side of her.

Bottom line: She's crazy but not in a typical way. "Crazy eyes" is a lot more dangerous and unstable than "Pennsatucky", IMHO.

FOLYKAZE: You are right base from the perspective you view it from.

But I can say you are wrong friend. . . .just like every other atheist. Though it is good to find you evolving.

God exist. . .even you are a worshipper of God.

Dont let me derail your thread with this. . . . .

Here is a thread on the existence and worship of God https://www.nairaland.com/1815402/all-aborisha

anothere here is thread on Moral judgment and Brain chemistry https://www.nairaland.com/1825723/moral-judgement-brain-chemistry


let see how you play it out on those thread.

Interesting theory. Don't worry, my eyes is already fixated on the first link. I'll be dropping in later today. Cheers.

Maybe it's just me, but I think "Poussey" rhymes with "Pússy" - what a silly name to name one's child.

Piper is a bisexual in denial, leaning more on the lesbian front. I loved the way and manner her ex-fiance dumped her sorry arsê. She's very irritating, selfish, and stewpid. When she had a chance to get her sentence reduced, she allowed herself to be manipulated (again) by the much smarter girlfriend, Alex, into perjuring herself by lying to the court (a very dumb move that made me wanna throttle her).

First season, the story revolved around her and her endless drama, but in the 2nd season, the showrunners reduced her screen time exponentially, she became just one of the many characters serving time or working in the minimum correctional facility.

Crazy eyes is an idîot and a certified mental case. She's supposed to be on Psyche Ward rather than Gen-pop.

FOLYKAZE: Hope RayMcBlue wont start a thread tomorrow telling us God is evil?

Lolz. But can something be FORCED to wear such garment when IT doesn't even exist? Basically, theists are systematically offing each other to see who's got the better IMAGINARY friend. Now, can such actions be termed "evil" or "good?" Nothing is that simple, my friend.

Not a Marvel fan by any means, but this is one of the most anticipated sequels in recent times. Can't wait.

harde2lah: hey guy, fvck off from this thread if you have no meaningful contributions

freethinker01: The tread is meant for those that are interested in joining, not for those that have some reasons for not joining. I think it's you that actually need some growing up or maybe you just don't have the ability to comprehend. Stay the Bleep off this thread niqqa.

Couple of môrons.

I've already forgotten about the thread till this couple of geniuses quoted me, thereby automatically reawakening moi. The smart move was to ignore me, since I had been a no-show since yesterday (Had unfollowed the thread), but no, y'all had to display your foolishness by repeating the same old songs that I've heard several times already.

Stupidîty at it's peak. *SMH*

(Unfollows thread again).

MrAnony1: I believe in these two sayings

- "If there is no white and there is no black then it is impossible to have any shades of grey at all. As all shades of grey must necessarily contain a bit of white and black and nothing else"

- "I believe that you are a fool and since you believe that the world is what I believe it to be, then it only follows that you are indeed a fool."

Last words:

-If you believe that I'm a fool for believing that the world is what I believe it to be, then you are a bigger fool for calling me a fool for absolutely no reason at all, since the world is indeed what I believe it to be.

@Reyginus, you're really a smart fella, I'll give you that. Got nothing's else to offer here, mate. I was hoping you'd give up first but man, you're relentless... Geez!

Time to observe a tactical retreat. Thanks for your inputs, it's quite educational. Cheers.

IbrahimMav: 1 million likes for this. you have been touched by the prophet.

Hell No! Don't you dare associate me with your bloodletting religion. I was only advocating for peace which can ONLY be effectively achieved by the "Creation of State Of Palestine", nothing more. Quit misinterpreting my comments, dude. Good day.

kobonaire: Hungry is worrying me and now I am hearing phantom smells of jollof rice just by reading this thread.

I thought I was alone. I'm hearing phantom aromas too.

Too many innocent civilians paying with their lives for a war they didn't start. In-as-much as I despise Hamas and the way they attached themselves to the Palestinian cause, I think it's high time Israel grant them (Palestinians) their independence. This senseless one-sided century-old skirmishes must stop. #FreePalestine

Reyginus: Let's try to forget about what the Nazis thought they were doing and focus on explaining why their actions is wrong or right. To do this, we must first have sufficient evidence on why they did what they did. And then we break them into parts and see why it is the best option at that point. Just give me a nod and I will look into it.

Alrighty, go ahead.

Reyginus: Ray, I hope you are not in any way suggesting that what benefits the stronger is good while what befalls the weak is bad? But actually the only thing wrong with this suggestion is if you don't show us effectively how. I also hope the defense you will present for them will move a step higher, not influenced by what they think is good or bad, but by how and why might is right and good.

I believe in these two sayings:

-"There is no white. There is no black. There are only different shades of grey."
-"The world is what you believe it to be."

Hitler slaughtered thousands of Jews. So many people were killed, families destroyed, people were marked as unfit to live not for what they've done, but just because they were born in a certain family. So can we call him evil. Maybe to Hitler, the killing of Jews was a way of cleaning up the Earth. He might have considered Jews to be the black filth that made the wonderful white world a dirtier place to live in. So he might have considered himself to be a God and went ahead to clean up the Earth.

Why he would think in this way is of course another question. Religion has caused more death throughout the ages than anything else. Yet we all consider religion to be sacred because we associate it with God and everything pure, so its supposed to be Good. My point is that any action can be called good from a certain perspective, and bad from another. So its basically grey.

Reyginus: I think you should speak less with the perception of the people. What we perceive may be true or not. Perception doesn't speak truthfully for a definite subject but only suggests what may be a possible occurrence in that subject.

Even if they are choices, who ultimately decides what is good and what is evil? If God Himself is real, which I can't believe while I am awake, then we have the Good Book to tell us what is right and what is wrong. Otherwise we have our intuition, reason, and record.

How good are our instruments, though? Let us say that Good and Evil are ectoplasmic forces in the universe. We would be able to experience them, though not seemingly directly, through our senses (touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste). So when a man drives by a woman on the street, it is the Good ectoplasm that, like the smell of cookies, draws him to the side of the road to help her. The Evilectoplasm, on the other hand, would be the cause of/reason for a man raping that same woman.

Essentially (and I choose that word ever-so-carefully) we are programmed with a tendency one way or another: our brains have been trained, in a number of ways, for a number of reasons, to be more open to the Good ectoplasm, so we are more Good than Evil. The ectoplasm is like air: we breathe in something related to what we breathe out. People in Good ectoplasm release Good ectoplasm, but not always. People are born with bad lungs, wicked minds, and black hearts, after all.

Or

Or, if choice is involved, however shallowly, we are the ones who generate more ectoplasm. Like a bacteria, the ectoplasm somehow grew in places it seemed quite unlikely. As humans grew, their brains reproduced the ectoplasm in a multitude of ways through their actions, reproduced so quickly that we could not keep track of it. Then we wrote myths about it. We tried to find out which actions produced which ectoplasm. Now, it seems, there are more ectoplasmic forces than we can keep track of, even if we can keep track of a few.

All that I've said seems quite unlikely, yet anyone who says that Good and Evil exist in the world must mean this or they mean otherwise that they are involved in a system of signification, a fundamentally arbitrary one. By arbitrary I come to say that it barely exists at all, except the way pots of gold exist beneath rainbows.

Reyginus: Do you still hold that what is good or evil is dependent on what an individual thinks is good or evil?

Good and Evil are human perceptions. You will notice that definitions of what is good and what is evil will vary form culture to culture; sometimes the gap is so deep, that what one culture sees as a virtue will be deemed deadly immoral by another. You can answer the question yourself by observing the world outside human culture/society -- is it evil for a lioness to kill in order to feed her brood? When a female black widow spider kills her mate after sex, it's not evil...she just do it. It is necessary, no more, no less.

How would a human perceive the same situation if they absolutely had to kill another in order to survive, the deed would no longer appear evil to them, they would have to rationalize it so that they can go on surviving, however, as a writer, you must adhere to the mores and morals of your audience. Your audience does not care for perceptions of good and evil that do not conform to its own expectations, hence, you ought not ask whether something is either good or evil, but whether your audience will perceive it as either good or evil.

Reyginus: Lol. That is a nice guy indeed. In naija slang, we say 'twale' to mean greetings. Pass him two twales for me.

Will do.
Goodnight.

Reyginus: Lol. If he did, then I like the dude.

Lolz. I imagine you would. His views are similar to your's .

Reyginus: Very well then but I will advise you don't lose hold of your initial argument.

I didn't pen that, I'm afraid. That's just my lil' brother being mischievous. I'll be replying your posts tomorrow. Bear with me.

TheBigUrban2: But you came in here, called us an online cult and even compared us to religious creeps who are ridiculous and fake.

Awww! So that's the cause of the grievance? Well, truth hurts, get over it. And do some growing up while you're at it. Your online behaviour is so juvenile.

So vulgar...

You're really an embarrassment, and completely dim-witted cuz you don't get the point I'm tryna make, at all.

The glimpse of the "Garden" is somewhat visible at the onset of Climax. To actually see it and know the location, you need to EXPLODE. Not just a tinkle, but an healthy spurt.

Tried to ignore this thread at first, but my principles persisted. You refer to yourselves as free thinkers, right? Y'all mock the theist and their cultist ways, and yet you see absolutely nothing wrong in starting an online organisation of your own?? What's next on the agenda? Hold meetings, pay tithes, appoint a leader, or hold mass? The whole point of being a free thinker is to divorce yourself from all the constraints of religion and all of it's implications, right?

If you feel lonely, simply create a thread and invite the other free thinkers in for discussions but pleased don't call it an "Organisation". The name alone is absurd and makes y'all look ridiculous and fake. I imagine the theists smirking right now.

Doesn't matter. I'm not joining. Qualifying myself as a name in general is simply too undermining for my taste. Bye.

TheBigUrban2: No one is begging you to join.


Everyone belongs to an organisation...work, rotary clubs, book clubs, women's associations etc

What I am doesn't have a name, and I refused to dub it one by joining a cult-like internet organisation.
