Hemanwel:
The same set of people you'll find in the church in the South West are the same people you'll meet in a Muslim gathering who are celebrating Wolimot and they are the same people who will come to Nairaland to express their love and support for a traditional festival in their land.
Anywhere belle face...

A Yoruba Pope was to be before Pope John but was rigged in favor of John. That Case is before The Judgement Seat and Christ is The Advocate in the case right now.
Also Yorubas can't be enduring celebates for long.

AnonyNymous:
Yes, if it is perfect, then the manufacturer can leave it to itself. Right now in our human world, manufacturers only put things like warranties, etc because they know things are man made and there can be mistakes. But for a god that is perfect and makes no mistake, his work should be able to run on autopilot forever without a single error.

Eastwalk:
But i heard that amosun is'nt working, at least investors aren't attracted to place with unfavorable government policy and detering infrastructure. Maybe Amosun is actually working.

AnonyNymous:
*Sigh* I don't have any expectations of your god because I don't even know if he/she/it exists or not. YOU are the ones that claim your god is perfect. YOU are the ones that claim your god knows all, and makes no mistakes. And if this is so, it makes no sense that God will need to interfere with something that is already perfect.

AnonyNymous:
I would've said 'nice' but think about this. . .the op mentioned the fact that your God is supposedly perfect and all knowing.

Now, as humans, when we create things we get worried about them because we know that we are only human and can make mistakes.

However, a GOD who is perfect, and KNOWS he is perfect, has no need to worry about his creation. See, this God has created everything and put everything in place. So why would he/she/it be worried about something as tiny to him as the dirt under our fingernails is to us?

johnydon22:
By virtue of all powerful and perfect there are certain vulnerabilities that these factors eliminates. we humans bear emotions like anger, hate, jealousy and need because we are imperfect and vulnerable creatures all round, our wanting comes from our deep seated need to satisfy and chasm within us.

For an all powerful entity to be subjected to similar emotions kills the very idea of all powerful or all perfect, it is a paradox that can never work in any way.

If you are the all powerful and all perfect creator of the cosmos, of whom could you possibly be jealous of? what exactly could you possibly need?

the underlying pettiness and mundane attributes of these characteristics confines and entity within such confines to that of a vulnerable and vane being no more than a human.

and this is in direct contradiction with the definition of all powerful and all perfect. read the post again.

let us first put things into perspective, let us first see just what our place is in this humongous cosmos that almost certainly is indifferent to our existence, equally as malicious and treacherous to everything.

Just a few million kilometers away, if you were some sort of being on the moon or just an astronaut sent to the moon looking at the earth rise just as the sun would rise on the earth.

you would be looking at the earth that would be no more than a bright blue sphere with a pinch of white and brown but mostly dominated by a loud hue of blue.

the earth is basically like a blue marble lighting up the skyless moon world, no vegetation can be seen, no huge monuments made by humans are visible from such not too shouty distance judging from a cosmic perspective, our airplanes and pyramids, huge skyscrapers and shinning golden temples.

there is not the slightest indication that the earth is inhabited, just seems like another planet in the solar system with little or no events of any importance, it floats just like a typical planet with little or nothing to show, you would be totally lost to the bustling activities that lurk just on the skin of this blue world.

Approach the earth a little closer, a few thousand kilometers just like the distance of the international space station, now you can see the rivers and seas, you can now make out intricate patterns of canals and canyons, green patches of vegetation and the biggest of the man made structures all like an intrinsic feature in such a humble painting.

From this distance you can make out the biggest human made structures but still no sign of humans, you cannot see them walking in the street or out in the open field.

what does this mean?

The answer is obvious to us; we are very tiny creatures, we are to the earth like tiny microbes pitching on the skin of a stone we overturn from the ground, dirty and moist.

we are nothing more than microbes on the earth when you visualize the earth from the outside.

To an outside observer it is almost like we are not here.

Now just imagine the earth from a cosmic perspective, we are hosted by an average star that is insanely humongous compared to the size of the earth but this sun is just a mediocre star in our local neighborhood of stars and galactic neighbors.

Together with billions of other stars, our sun is part of a galaxy. visualizing the sun from a galactic point of view it is less than a spec of dust lost in a vast sea of sands.

This our galaxy is just one out of more than 500billion with the promise of double that size being the reality.

A tiny spec lost in a vast cosmos dancing to a tune played by an uncharted gravity that draws a cold doom near with every breath.

I explained all this to add a perspective to the points that i am about to make, we are a young specie, lost and minuscule in a universe that is far too deeper and bigger than our imagination can ever conceive, with our time no more than a cosmic blink.

we exist almost like we don't.

The universe doesn't go around for us, doesn't even seem that the universe has the slightest inclination that we are here.

Now let me quickly bring up a definition of God from a theistic point of view which is the sole nucleus of my argument.

God is an all powerful, all knowing and eternal being that is beyond time, literally caused the universe from pure nothingness and then largely interfere with humans

it all sounds all right and cozy from a human perspective but look at it from a cosmic landscape; this very definition and characteristics of God as stretched in very many vivid descriptions, confident and daring tendered by many religions ridicules the very idea of a God that is All powerful, all knowing and all perfect.

We can at least try and imagine just how huge, ominous, deep, spooky, intricate and powerful this universe is, there is a lingering possibility that it may just be one out of many.

A being capable of making something like this literally out of nothing must be just as ominous, deep, spooky, intricate and powerful or even more than the universe.

imagine, just let your mind roam free on what outstandingly weirdly powerful entity such a being would be.

We are humans, fleeting and young, vane and puny, we are subject to emotions that reveal the depth of our vulnerability; anger, hate, sadness, joy, love, affection, envy, jealousy and many of them.

May we not forget that we are basically no more than atoms in a cosmos so vast that even our imagination cannot grasp it.

Now here comes the creator, in all his power and weirdness, all that perfection and timeless aura, comes to the universe, goes to a vast corner where a local cluster seats, pin points the vigo super cluster, goes to a remote galactic corner and locates a lone spiral galaxy gleaming like a lost pearl in a sea of darkness, enters this galaxy, locates a tiny part of this galaxy where countless stars reside, pin points an average sun out of many, comes to the local solar neighborhood and comes to the tiny blue world, there is a specie of beings so tiny and fleeting, microbes living on the skin of this blue world, then this all powerful creator of the cosmos comes to this world where these very tiny creatures are then starts to help them kill each other.

That is what theism would have us believe.

I'd say that is tremendously absurd!!

theism proposes a creator for the cosmos, a seeming answer to the question of causality, all perfect, glorious, timeless and ancient, deep and all knowing, boundless power that passes the borders of infinity then goes right ahead and ridicule it.

Theism paints a picture so petty and vane, a God that is no more than a human.

here is an all powerful and knowing entity that is still subjected to emotions that reveals the crudity of our vulnerability, anger and hate, this entity that made everything can get jealous, struggles and indulges in human feuds.

If you are an all powerful creator of everything, of whom exactly are you going to be jealous of?

but here we have a God that allegedly created everything still subject to jealousy, hate and anger - such mundane characteristics paints a childish picture, an unparalleled pettiness.

The All powerful creator is so engrossed in human activities that it is busy fighting alongside humans, picking favorite humans, helping them kill each other, snoops around to see what these microbial entities are up to, gets angry when they masturbate.

needs praises and worship, even ready torture for it.

it is mind bugling how theism by itself reduced the God of its own very making into such a mundane, petty, puerile and puny concept, God is so vane that it bears a mark unbecoming of such a powerful cause for the cosmos.


The very idea of such a powerful entity being subject to emotions as anger, jealousy, sadness and a raging need for reverence and love brings God down to similar emotional vulnerability as humans.

Therefore such an entity cannot be said to be all powerful or all knowing, cannot be said to be perfect or stable.

An all powerful and perfect being would need nothing, perfection needs nothing because perfection is in fact beyond infinity. A circle is perfect at 360°, you cannot add 1° to stand if you remove 1° it ceases to be a circle.

that is the closest we can get in explaining perfection.

so what exactly does an all powerful God need anything for, what use is your sacrifice and supplications? If God is perfect and all powerful it means it cannot need anything, if this is so then your prayers, reverence, sacrifices, worship and undying piety is just as useless as the hair of a human in the dark.

For God to have a want, a need or demand be it in form or reverence, acknowledgment or worship rids it of any attribute of perfection or omnistatus.

It is a paradox to assert a God that is perfect and all powerful but still needs or demands anything - such a paradox only annihilates the subject therefore such a god cannot exist.

- either God is all powerful, perfect and needs nothing.

-or it is not all powerful or perfect and needs something.

Theism ridicules and demeans the very idea of God they conceive, it scales down the whole universe to a tiny point so shallow as the mind of the primitive humans that birthed Gods to explain it.

If there is an all powerful and all knowing creator of the cosmos, then theism with its ideas of what this entity is and should be would be an insult to it.

we are faced with the problem of universal causality, the very effects we witness all point to a single point of origin and this very lingering question thrills our minds to a quaking point, having to deal with more questions than we have answers to.

but i'd rather admit ignorance than resort to any preposterous answer with a comforting glamor.

In all this questions and ingrained bother, with the answers theism has provided in the person of God. speaking from a point of view beyond earth as the point of consideration; a cosmic perspective - i dare say and affirm.

Your God is simply too small and petty for this cosmos.

datribune:
Many years ago, it was ok to kill twins in Africa. Today, many don't support it because there's a consensus dat it is wrong & morally repugnant.
Same goes for racism which is supported by d KKK.
Rather than racism being part of democracy, racism tears apart social Democracy. Democracy point is to reduce & eradicate dis base human instincts.
They hav d right to vote for whom they want, morally upright persons must however, always call them out that apartheid & racism is not ok & that it is condemnable.
