"Death" is a enough proof that there is a supreme being that controls the universe.

Lol. Really?

Death is a natural occurrence among all living things and throughout the known universe. It's not proof of any supreme being.

i once said if there was no religion whatsoever on earth that the world would have been better off, there wouldn't have been so much problem with Muslims and christians attacking each other religion everyday. Religion is not what teaches us Good from Bad.

I used to believe this, but not anymore
.
I'm non-religious myself, but I believe that even if humans eliminate religion, we will still have violence and other bad things. Humans are the problem. There's something deep in our psyche and instinct that will make us keep doing bad/evil/violent things to other humans. It's a normal occurrence even among infants.

Bravo to him *applause*

Very interesting thread.

I'm a big huge, great fan of South Park. I admire Trey Park and Matt Stone.

From their episodes on scientology, atheism, Mormons, I've come to realise how easy it is to start a movement to control people and then It goes haywire.

These guys did a Broadway show called "The book of mormon". While I've not watched it, I've downloaded the official soundtrack of the songs and I've listened the album more than 20 times. There is a lot of satire and mockery, but done in amazing comedy. It's brilliant.

I'm also a fan of Goerge Carlin. He acted in Kevin Smith's film "Dogma", a controversial film which is really offensive to the average christian and has Been denounced as blasphemous

THE WORD 'ATHEIST' IS SO MISUNDERSTOOD

I follow spacyzuma's diary. In his latest comment posted a few minutes again, he inferred that an agnostic is somehow between a theist and an atheist. I have found myself having to discuss this issue so many times. No...agnoticism is not between theism and atheism. Theism is not at one end and atheism at the other extreme corner. No...agnostism is not the midpoint. They are two separate terms. One deals with belief, the other deals with knowledge.

Perhaps, I may have used it and make it sound like an agnostic is the reasonable fellow and the atheist is the stubborn one, pardon me, that's not true.

Watch the video below...it explains it in a way I don't have time to today.

Finally watched this video. Thanks for sharing. I've learned a lot from it.

hahahaha

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

@joseph1013 I had to google "mercurial character" and got to this link: http://www.9types.com/movieboard/intro_new.htm
I'm definitely not mercurial

@stephenmorris I never said I didn't like sex. I think I said I wasn't gonna discuss sexual stuff like many diaries here.

The first and last time I checked it was when I went for medicals about three months ago, a compulsory criteria before you start working in the company I got my placement.

Felt very indifferent about it, like what's there
There are certain things I don't get myself worked up with

This is how to know fresh, untouched meat.

I was too young to watch/remember that game, but I remember how sad my dad and uncles were whenever they mentioned Sam Okwaraji.
HE was also a qualified lawyer. HE studied law while playing football in Europe.

RIP.

Where did you order from abeg, I want to buy.

Sorry, it's not officially available in Nigeria (I think)

This is the site I ordered it from: http://hivselftest.co.uk/products/biosure-hiv-self-test

Last time I checked was 3/4 weeks ago.

I check it every 6 months. I order this BioSure HIV test homekit and do it at home.

Just got emailed this, I don't know if it applies to other money transfer agents.

A friend of mine got this email too. Had to quickly use WUMT before they do the same thing.

You beat me to it. She's just dreaming up issues. He is a good man,caring,loving,great husband and father. Let her see what bible thumping guys are up to in my inbox. We need to apply sense here. The guy does not even stop her from going to church. Atheists are never the problem,it is the so called 'christians' who feel the need to defend their God and shove their beliefs down our throats!

The problem is not atheism or christianity. The problem is intolerant humans who are condescending in their attitude and try to force their beliefs on everyone.

I'm a non-believer myself. I think the man is not in the wrong, but he should be more tactful. You can let people know you're atheist without being rude or arrogant or condescending to them. The wife also needs to realize that eventually the kids will make their own decisions. She can't be solely responsible for them to be strong christians all their lives.

zeezahbee:
you have already answer the question. your country has to approve the usage of the medication before it can be imported or exported. they are a lot of procedure jn exporting medication to another country. paperwork and some kind of observation and evaluation.

Thank you.

Dame P, the ex First Lady?

Thanks, claremont and ocheejemb.
I'll check with my bank.
I also tested the Credit Card Eligibility Checker on MoneySavingExpert.com and got a list of recommended credit card deals.

Hi Zeezahbee. I just came across this thread. Keep up the good work.

I have some questions, seeing as you're based in TX.

Truvada (the PReP drug) is available in USA, but not in UK where I live. I'm interested in procuring it, but don't know how.

Please do you have any idea how much it costs for a month's (or annual) supply in USA? Are there any legal implications in exporting it to UK when it's not been approved by the NHS?

Regards.

For the people who've been in UK for years and are now working or doing business here, how do you deal with credit?

From personal experiences, which bank gives the best credit card deals? I've googled and have a list, but I wanna hear experiences from fellow Nigerians.

BarryJones:
Thank you for your reply,
I still have some more questions please.
1. By opening an account in the UK, do you mean that I will open an account with a Nigerian Bank, eg GTB in the UK?
2. Assuming i open a UK account, If they want to send money to me, will my parents need to convert the money to pounds with Aboki first or something like that?
3. Is there MTN, Glo or Airtel in UK? If no, what sim should i get on my arrival. How much is their data plan? I think if i can have a good data plan i can even be calling naija through free whatsapp call to save more.
4. Please do you have info about students writing ICAN in UK, I hope to complete my exams there? I know ICAN has an exam centre in London.
5. What job websites should i begin to check from now, so that i can get a part time job at least few months after my arrival?
Thanks sir

Not to be rude, bro, but some questions you ask are downright funny because they can be easily googled.
1) You should open an account with a UK bank. During registration period at the university, Banks like Barclays, Lloyds, Nationwide advertise themselves and give student-special accounts with variable good benefits.
2) Your parents can send you money via direct bank transfer from GTB (or other nigerian banks) to your UK bank. They could also use Western Union, or other online money transfer services like worldremit.
3) This is the funny question. NO! There's EE, O2, Virgin, Vodafone, Three, Lebara, Lycamobile and some others.

4) I have no idea about this one. But please google it.
5) Register with milkround and gradcracker and setup your profile. Most of the jobs advertised there are fulltime, but you may see part-time vacancies there too. When you get to your school, always attend job fairs. There would also be some local means of looking for temporary jobs (eg Student Union buildings, meeting, forums)

Cheers.

For taught MSc courses starting in late September, when do students usually graduate (that is, after completing exams and submiting research project)?

From personal experience, what is the earliest completion date you have seen or heard?

Thanks.

Late July is early.
So estimate late July to early September.

Some days ago, I installed Twonky Media server on my NAS. It's great! Everything just works! You should try it.

I'm angry that I wasted so much time struggling with Plex and I've uninstalled it.

I'm really curious to see if Scotland will have another independence referendum so it can remain in EU.

hopefulLandlord:
Truth is most so called "Christians" would deny this bitter truth but check their posts and you'll always see the way they preach this hell and heaven

There's even a DejiDeji, he brandishes Pascal's wager all the time and it actually cracks me up

In real life, I stun almost all Christians that decides to preach to me after knowing I'm an atheist (news of you being atheist spreads like wildfire)

They'll say, Jesus gives peace and joy, I'll counter that by asking if they think I don't have peace and joy already, since I have it, what else do I need their god for?

They'll say the peace and joy their imaginary friend gives is much better than what I have now; I'll tell them I'm satisfied with my present peace and joy so I don't want their god

They'll then switch over and threaten me with eternal damnation

I tell them I would like to go to hell; at that point most of them don't know what to say again, they would start stuttering beacuse they've NEVER met someone that said that, its an uncharted territory for them, they'll stutter through how hot hell would be and how Satan would torture me for his own amusement, I would then repeat that I still want to go to that hell, at that point, you could see their defense fall flat, they then look like a standup comedian who just told his "best joke" and people are not laughing

Nice!! I should try this.

I had my DP up in my profile a while ago for a reasonable period of time.
Not sure I'm ready to upload one anytime soon.

Pls upload. Let the ministry move. Let the gospel be spread. Boo must be found.

Feraz:
Give this man a beer!

I have too. Always forgetting to send a feedback to them. BTW, how is your BBM on Windows? Mine is very frustrating.

It's annoying that the app has had at least one update since I upgraded to WinMo, yet this issue remains. SMH.
Imagine when you're 'getting busy' and your phone is playing a sensual playlist of your favorite erotic songs, and then you're both rudely shockingly interrupted by that Jarring Noise!!!

I don't use BBM on WP/WM. @Feraz

I rarely use my Win10Mo-running Lumia 930 now.

The only bug I've observed is with Groove Music when I'm playing songs. Sometimes when a song finishes, the next song comes on with a Loud, Harsh, Unintelligible Noise. It doesn't stop until I skip to the next track or previous track. Has anybody experienced this?
