I don't need to prove they do not exist because I KNOW THEY DONT! Do note the difference here.

Why would I dwell on the non existent which I already know is so?

For point 2 is just nonsense. Nobody hates you for not believing in God. That is now your own imagination working over time aka playing tricks on you.

Perhaps you should refer that to Muslims .

1. How can you just know that unicorns do not exist? Were you born with that knowledge? How did you gain such knowledge?

2. Really? So all the Christians that have killed unbelievers are in my imagination? They don't hate abi?

Butterflyleo:


Unicorns , fairies don't exist and due to this, they are not in my consciousness to the extent of me constantly seeking evidence for their existence since I know they do not exist already.

Get it?

1. Can you prove that unicorns do not exist?

2. No human being judges or punishes you for not believing in unicorns. Say that you don't believe in God and watch how you are automatically hated by some religious people.

Happy Death Day- Despite all the craziness that went on in this movie, the theme is very straightforward and surprisingly touching: coming to terms with grief. It is also never too late to start over (especially if you're still young )

Dark comedy, average slasher, thought provoking central themes.

7.5/10. Worth the watch.

5.5/10 actually.

Nothing new or original about the movie. I have seen a dozen time-loop movies. There were many inconsistencies and plot holes.

Anyhow, I just finished watching Cobra Kai (tv series) 9/10

It gives an interesting continuation of the Karate kid movie. The original one.

If he truly won 150k, why is he still petty and bitter? Indeed, age is no guarantee of maturity.

I've been busy for a week now, and I came back to Nairaland and I find this comment next to where I left my comment on this thread.

For what reason do you doubt my winning of 150k? I'm truly curious because you do not know me personally.

Were my predictions not specific and accurate?


Your comment says more about you than me. You must be bitter and broke. How can you be pained about 150k? Chicken change. Well, the typical Nigerian salary is 100k. Nonsense

superhumanist:


Ode. You think I have time to be always correcting your rubbish?

Abeg free me. Naijabet is calling. Nigerian to lose plus under 2.5

I predicted this right and won 150k while some people were arguing that Thor, Zeus and Jesus should be changed to women.

johnydon22:


The doctrine of Jesus himself is one I find to be from a man who had profound faith in his convictions. It suggested no thought for the Moro, no attention to advancement, just leave everything and follow me.

Its either he was a fanatic who faught for a reformation of Jewish doctrine or he truly believed the world was coming to an end in his time and he was charged to save it.

Turns out, that too, was a delusion

Lol. It was a delusion right from the beginning.

It not a competition bro. If you're gonna poke holes in my assertions, at least, put your back into it. Don't go in half-assed. Makes you look clueless.

They can't admit what they do not know, and really, they don't know. They believe that inner voice they hear is the voice of their god, when it really is their own self's telling them what they wish to hear. If only they would mind their tendency to be confirmatorily biased.

A fault that highly encouraged in Christianity, and adopted by some, is the fact that everything is down to God for them. So whatever is achieved is because of God, which does not allow recognition of personal effort and reduces the need to value the individual person, as the "spirit of God in the person" is all they need recognise. Pity is that it reduces the need for individuals to take responsibility for their existence.

So sad

KoiceReloaded:


Some people dey make argument for argument sake, smh. I'm still looking for where I said wielding mojlnr automatically makes one Thor. And since when did Wonder woman become an MC character?? I know there are DC/MC crossovers but I haven't seen a character from a completely different universe adopt the identity of a character from another universe, or have you??

Lol. I give up. You win. Remain to turn Jesus to woman.

KoiceReloaded:


Just contradicted yourself in 2 sentences.

To answer your question, yes, if it's a comic character. It's basic, really.

1. Thor is his real name. Captain Marvel is not a real name

2. Wonder woman has welded Thor's hammer. She didn't change her name to Thor.

KoiceReloaded:


Why is it a foolish idea. I don't see anything wrong with Thor being a woman tbh. I'd like to point out that Thor used to be FROG, a male frog, granted, but still a frog. So what is so offputting about the idea of a female wielding the mojlnr has you so worked up? Could it be because "maleness" is continually seen as the center of Thor's universe, therefore, the norm? You've to realize that even norms are subject to change. As the field of observation changes, so does the norm along with it. Also norms aren't organic... people make them. As such, Comic Thor can be whatever MC want them to be.

Can sango be a woman?

Is it because people don't worship Norse mythology anymore?

Captain marvel was actually a man before before it was passed on to a woman. It was done with a better storyline.

Anas09:

These are the kind of books you read and you'd expect me to pause and talk to you? No. We flow at different wave lengths. I read Biographies of great men like Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln. Alexander the Great, Winston Churchhill and the present American President Donald J. Trump. What made these men who they were and are.

Gerrout of here.

Donald Trump? You put Donald Trump amongst those great men?

Are you okay? And you omitted Obama. Are you well?

Beorn:


You can't put it past Nollywood directors, I won't be surprised if it becomes a trend, they generally like to bend to whims and caprices of strong opinions to sound politically correct




Are you kidding me? Is this not madness? What's their reason(s) for such a move? Pardon me, but I didn't follow these DC mad MC Comics as a kid, so was there a time in the comics when Thor was a female? If there was, maybe they're just following the storyline.

The stroy behind female Thor is that the original Thor became unworthy of his hammer (mojlnr) and an unknown female took over the hammer and the name "Thor".

Given that Thor is not his superhero nickname but his real name, it is quite silly.

And no, there was never a time in the past that Thor was a woman. This is a recent storyline.

Beorn:
Superhumanist, I didn't even notice this gender-swapping trend till you mentioned it this morning. Maybe it's the fact that I was oblivious of the fact that 2016 Ghostbusters was a remake of the all-male cast of the first Ghostbusters.

I really don't think gender-swapping trend is becoming that rampant, maybe I'll need more examples before I can conclude so. I think what we saw in the latest Ocean's 8 and 2016 Ghostbusters, was just directors/producers trying to come up with new ideas to add a bit of spice to those movies. Like, they wanted to try out new ideas instead of refurbishing an already worn-out storyline. Like you already pointed out, it wasn't a great success not because of the gender-swapping/all-female cast, but because of the poor script/storyline.

2016 Ghostbusters was poorly directed. Their jokes were very dry. It had surprisingly high rating, but the Ghostbusters that I watched was average. Only Melissa McCarthy was able to salvage what was left of the reputation of the film. Even if it wasn't a gender-swapped movie, it'd have still sucked with that storyline. All-female cast films (not necessarily gender-swapped ones) can be a box office success with good reviews with the right right actresses and good storylines. E.g: Charlie's Angels and Girls Trip.

Also, most all-female cast movies are rarely big hits like their all-male counterparts, that's an angle you should also consider. Heck, even movies with a female as the lead/major character - especially action or superhero movies - are rarely successful save for few like Wonder Woman and Kill Bill vol 1 & 2. Movies like Tomb Raider (both versions), Cat Woman, Aeon Flux were all major flops at the box office.

I generally agree with you.

My hope is that the directors or producers should not rely on girl power or feminism to sell movies. Strong female characters should be well written with good plots.

I know that there aren't much genderswappinv examples but I feel we will see more of it.


Also did you know that they genderswapped Thor in comics? Yes, Thor is now a lady. Sacrilegious!

hopefulLandlord:


30,000 Christian sects with each accusing most of the others of being heretics and from the devil then getting the same treatment back form those they're accusing while all claim to have been convinced by personal divine revelation from the holy spirit or whatnot

Christianity is 2000 years of everyone making it up as they go

It is even getting worse as more crazy ideas are now made up.

There is a church where sucking breast is now a method of deliverance.

dalaman:


God is an idea that is made up inside the human head. Make it up as you go is the name of the game. Why do you think there are various sects in Christianity each with divergent and opposing views from each other? It's because they keep making things up and claiming it's revelation from their God, but in reality it is just their opinion and thoughts of what and how they feel their God should act or behave. It's called self projecting your self as God.

The funny thing is that they won't admit that it is their opinion, they would claim that it is from God. just look at the nonsense from butterflyleo

Butterflyleo:


Nonsense upon nonsense you shouldn't ask them you should get your own experience first hand and not seek second hand opinions.

Every christian has a personal REVELATION of God as God wills for them so of course they would speak from their individual REVEALED God positions which match their situation and whatever reasons brought them to God.

However it is the same SPIRIT that worketh all in all.

Get a first hand experience and stop looking for scraps which subscribe to your fleshly level

@ bold,

This is why every pastor has his own way of remixing the bible. Any fool can claim God told him the truth through personal revelation.

This is how Joseph Smith, a convicted fraudster, used "personal divine revelation" to start a racist church called the Church of Later Day Saints.

oyetpel, beorn et al,

Since we have had the debate on gay kissing scenes getting more appearances in Hollywood movies/series, I want to talk about something that is getting too much in Hollywood!

Forced "genderswapping" in the name of "feminism"

Just as there is a push for gay characters in Hollywood, there is a push for female characters as well. I have no problem with that I am a liberal and a feminist.

However, when lazy film-making and script-writing are covered up with "feminism" it becomes annoying and detrimental to feminism itself.

An example of this is ghostbusters 2016!
Ghostbusters 2016 was a remake that failed. The directors changed the original all-male cast to all-female. This move annoyed fans because they have been begging for a sequel since the early 90s (over 2 decades). The directors and the cast went on to abuse fans and call them misogynistic douchebags because they didn't like the trailers and the genderswapping.

Of course, the movie went on to fail. How did they expect the movie to sell when they had finished insulting their very own fanbase? Furthermore, the movie was horrible. The plot and the jokes were barely average. It seemed like an extended SNL joke (note that SNL is rarely funny these days).

My opinion is that women directors and hollywood should come up with original stories/movies for and with women. I love bridesmaids as an all-female movie. It was original and funny. Taking a good story and just changing the gender to femaile is just plain lazy. And if they really want to genderswap, they should really invest in a good plot so that the changing of genders can be justified.


This brings me to the new movie called Oceans 8. An all-female version of the all-male version of Oceans 11. Occeans 8, not surprisingly, is getting mixed reviews calling the movie "average".

Butterflyleo:


If you read my comment and understood it then you would not have typed the tripe you just did.

Atheists find God wanting because the one they found wanting is their IMAGINED version of God. However Christians do not find God wanting because he is the REVEALED version of himself aka THE GOD THAT IS.

Atheists would always find God wanting because they are of the flesh and reason God from the flesh. However God is of the spirit and true worshippers worship him IN SPIRIT and truth.

So when you talk about seeing, feeling, touching God you just confirmed your atheistic fleshly view of God and nothing else.

If you wish to touch, feel, hear and see God then come up higher into the spirit. Where you are is too low for the frequency of the signal you wish to receive.

The deep calleth to the deep. The deep does not call to the shallow. You are shallow so would never hear, feel, touch, see the deep.

nonsense upon nonsense.

Which higher spirit are you talking about? If I ask 10 other christians about your higher spirit, I would get 10 different answers.

Another day, another set of crazy christians causing problems in the world


After, Butterflyleo aka butterflylion will come and say that atheists have mental illness.


cc sciencewatch

Butterflyleo:


That last quote from Morley is loaded bro.

Atheists paint a picture of the god they want while Christians talk about the God that is. That is why atheists imagine their own concept of God while Christians do not imagine but know about this God who IS.

You know God?

This same God that you havent seen, heard, felt or touched before?


I would argue that no christian knows God. The bible paints a very distorted and unclear picture of God. This is why we have many versions of christianity nowadays.

For instance, some christians argue that Jesus is God, while some say that Jesus is just a messenger.



Many atheists have read the bible and found your God wanting.......

Never seen gone girl

Gone Girl 8/10

Check it out. I won't give you any spoilers. Watch it and be thrilled.

Jurassic World

6/10

Interesting and thrilling action but nothing new. The movie is very enjoyable but there is nothing really new about this Jurassic park that we havent seen before.

-Return to the island where it started. CHECK!
-Scientist creates new dangerous breed of Dinosaur. CHECK!
-New breed Dinosaur escapes and causes havoc. CHECK!
-Friendly Dinosaur helps to fight against bad dinosaur. CHECK!

Ishilove:

Don't get me wrong. The whole movie is very interesting and thought provoking. It's just the ending that could have been better. The gradual change of the lead character from heroine to stark raving mad villain was very creative, and despite the Nollywood ending, it is still worth the MB used in downloading.

As someone that has seen "Gone Girl", the movie "Acrimony" just seems like a black version of lower quality.

who was talking or referring to you? or are you admitting that you are nothing more than a troll who gets off on being a loud nuisance? who would have thought you had that much self-awareness? there may yet be hope for you to be something more than an annoying irritant making a strong case for an ignore button

Anyone with sense can see that you were talking about me. The fact that you are still trying to deny it shows how cowardly you are.

It is always easy to be negative and considering that you have contributed so little to this thread recently in the last few pages, you should consider yourself a better candidate for being the troll.

oyb:


This generation of atheists and deists are simply driven by the need to be edgy and trolly, not by any form of actual conviction

Please, learn 3 important things here

1. Don't bring religion or beliefs into places that they are not necessary

2. You only come off as a cowardly loser when you attack someone indirectly and passive aggressively. Man up, show your convictions and speak your truth.

3. Generalisations are dangerous.
