Of course it's not blank, I have already taken a position. My tabula is no longer rasa. You are looking at my tabula after I have written on it. Like I alluded to, I had the opportunity to rethink a lot of things before now, that period was when my tabula was rasa, not now.
Shouldn't you be a full atheist rather than agnostic if your understanding is now perfect?

I'm curious... mind shedding more light on Agnostoc-atheist and Agnostic-theist?
Agnostic-theists are usually church goers.
Their claim is: it's better to be safe (by doing religion) than sorry!

Agnostic-atheists:
Their default is: a disbelieve in God until a physical repeatable proof is established

Atheists and Theists are 100% sure of their position
Family › Re: Elder Bros Wife Mouthed Me Out! What do I do now? by TenQ: 4:03pm On Dec 16, 2021
JustAvo:
This was exactly my point in my post earlier. The only reason why I had reservation abt it all is that he already said she was a wicked wife, so yeah, that's a problem n she betrayed him aswell by using d oil thing to demand for more from her husband (if dt was d case).


On the other side, she won't be stupid enough to want to cause a serious rancor btw her husband n a younger sibling who will soon graduate from sch. n leave their town with a high probability of making it like her hubby or surpass him self.... (Most people wl look into stuffs like ds b4 de mk some choices, except de r stupid).


Like a number of people pointed out here, I feel d elder bro is wrong to be flaming up n down(altho he has rights to, he shd however also see tinz from his younger bros perspective irrespective of what he was told or at least ask him why he did what he did)
Yes, the husband shouldn't have escalated the problem knowing that the wife too was a culprit. He is probably naturally stingy too. He didn't know that by escalating the problem, he was disrespecting his wife

The younger brother too should chill and allow things to rest. The wife is the least of his problems. Of cause the wife is not his enemy.

I hope the wife too has learnt some lessons as per the know Nd of excuse to use to increase feeding money. Many husband's do not know that in the market, N25k to months ago is now worth less that N20k.

iii. Agnostic-Atheist
Actually, the four positions are not blank.

Only a baby could be truely called pure agnostic. Reason being that he has probably no knowledge to even take a position.

Theists are biased and much as Atheists (extreme end of the two spectrums)

Agnostic-theists and Agnostic-theists are biased either above or below the neutral line.

I guess you get my point.

Limitlessss:
I need frank and candid advice guys.


We made the exchange, I got the #500 and gave her d oil she would have bought #900.

I just received a call from my elder bros yesterday, and he was very pissed? That y should I sell d oil to his wife?

I tried to explain but he won't listen, has even refused seeing me, honestly I am not happy right now, why will she disclose it to him? We had a pack?
She didnt report you o!
Please dont get her wrong.

Let me break it down for you.
1. The husband came back from his journey
2. The wife decided to tell him that the food money was not adequate
3. If not because you gave her a bottle of oil, the money wouldnt have been enough.
4. She didn't know it would boomerang
5. In the process of redressing the situation, she then spoke the whole truth.
6. The truth inflamed your brother the more

She was as guilty of the offence as you Bro!
The only difference is that she is high above you in hierarchy (she's a wife)
Pickup yourself and move on
Business › Re: My Cousin Sister Stole 200k From Our Business And We Want To Do This by TenQ: 12:47pm On Dec 16, 2021
iamwhat:
I am seriously confused and scared at the same time.

My cousin sister has been staying with us since age 5 and nobody knows she's not our sibling because we took her as one of us, she finished from the most expensive secondary school in our town and we gave her everything she needs.


Please I need your advise on how best to handle this issue:
How would you treat the problem if she were your sister. Treat her likewise but give her a last warning.
Tell her that for the next 12 months, money would be left on purpose randomly round the house. If one accidentally disappear, she is going back to her parents.
Give her daily pep talk about her future.
Except satan is involved expect a massive chang from her in six months.

LordReed:
That is because you want to read it as that. If the blank slate means you can latter believe, I dunno what makes you think it is not blank. You are free to consider everything including belief and you are here saying it is not blank. How is it not blank if everything is on the table including a belief in god?
A blank state strictly means UNCOMMITTED to any position but asking Questions enough to have the blank slate filled with a position.

I think your case is more like: You have already known enough or you require an answer to conform to your thinking such that any other thing will not suffice.

Let me give you an analogy:
Is there water trapped under Venus?
Blank Slate: I don't know but I'm willing to seek for evidence that will support or negate the presence of water (this is true agnostism)
Semi-Blank State: There is no water except I see a superior evidence (this is the position of ALL agnostics Ive met)

Now, to even make it clearer, I can ask you the question:
Which one of these is closest to your position about God?
i. Theist
ii. Atheist
iii. Agnostic-Atheist
iv. Agnostic-Theist

If those people were civil towards me, do you think I would have called them bastards?

I hope you're not offended because I have passed through many things as a result of their allegations....if my brother dies,I will blame them.
In fact,they are responsible for my current situation and that of my family.
What do you gain by calling them bastards?
Nothing!!

Of cause, I am not offended. I only wish the best for all around

Life is hard and sometimes difficult, but each one of us has to carry our own burden and move on.
The fact that we carry heavy load today does not mean that our loads will always be heavy.
We all hurt each other
The closest people to us are the ones we hurt the most (many times unintentionally)

So, the goal is to FORGIVE the person behind the hurt and move on.
We gain nothing by destroying them in revenge.
Many times, a successful retribution, revenge or payback does nothing to RESTORE us back what was lost.

If you cannot stand someone dishing you pain, the best is to walk away.


Life is all about GRACE:
DJ Cuppy doesn't have to think about Working: her financial future is taken care of
But most of us don't have that kind of grace: if we don't hustle, we don't eat.

You have your own peculiar graces, it may be that you don't recognise them as such.

The key:
Maximise your own peculiar grace
Overcome the disadvantages you can help
Live with the disabilities you have no power over

No one succeeds by themselves alone.

You are not the one with allegations against me.
Those that have allegations against me know themselves.
The bastards include some atheists ...... you are not among them.... I know I don't sound nice using 'bastards' but that's what they deserve for accusing me baselessly just because I asked for help on behalf of myself and my brother.

The words I use are not always completely meant for the person I am quoting and I need you to understand that.
Do you want to help me?
I understand you.
However, your position or reaction to things you don't like is NOT civil.
You betray too much emotion in conversations especially when they don't go your way.
Anger usually is not a positive emotion except when fighting satan...LOL!!

We all get angry, but what we say or do when we get angry is a measure of how matured we are.

No human being is an Island. We depend on one another to survive.

LordReed:
Very different because lack of belief has not precluded belief. If the atheist has seen reason to believe he is not precluded because of his lack of belief.
It still simply mean that your so-called Blank slate is NOT blank!
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is The Essence Of Atheism? by TenQ: 11:11am On Dec 16, 2021
LordReed:
No it means do not allow religion be the dictator or limiter of your thoughts. You are free to consider any god concept. A lack of belief doesn't limit you from considering the god concept. By definition the clean slate doesn't have "free of religiously encumbered thoughts" written on it so once again you are twisting my words. "Free of religiously encumbered thoughts" means your clean slate has no preconceived notions dictated by religious ideas, you are free to consider a god or anything, free of encumbrance.
I think you are professing a NEUTRALITY that is biased.

Why?
An agnostics is a person with a leaning towards atheism but only uncommitted to say as a FACT that God doesn't exist.
(sorry, its not a debate over the definition of atheism as a disbelief or not: it's my opinion)

You say:
"A lack of belief doesn't limit you from considering the god concept"
I don't believe in Santa Claus
I can't even believe in santa claus
BUT
I can read about Santa Claus
I can discuss Santa Claus with others

However, it is impossible for me to believe in Santa Claus because my BLANK SLATE (from the start) has excluded him from my life even if perchance he is found to be true.

How then is your blank slate different from mine?

Calling me names and threatening me like certain bastards have done on Nairaland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stopping people from helping me towards my progress without remorse, furrrk the day I was born amidst such bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't really care if you're a theist....... but I will be mad if you see it as a reason to frustrate me ........ did you know some of the bastards I wish to be robbed as often as possible are atheistshuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh??

Let us see if Hell will not be let loose if I ever get the tools required for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of cause, your daily presence in the Religious section of NL over what you believe doesn't exist is a proof of your obsession!

Your anger is well exhibited by the manner in which you speak/write:
1. Seeing allegations where there is none
2. Using cursing words where civil language is all that is required
3. Seeing everyone else that don't believe it your way bastards

Check out LordReed: he is matured and civil in his speeches on NL even though we have opposing views about God. You might wish to learn from him.

Children throw tantrums because they feel they don't have the intellectual capacity to discuss sentence with sentence with adults. (I've not called you a child o!). Opposing views must not degenerate into violence in words and deeds.

Even with opposing views,
Even with tattoos and piercings,
Even with drugs use
Even with wild sexual orientations

You are first a human being created in the image of God
You are my neighbour
You are the Jesus who came to me for assistance

I will not discriminate in giving you my help and love to the best of my ability.

Whatever you want men to do to you, do unto them with love!

LordReed:
You strawmanned my words into a different argument. I didn't write "REJECT the thought of the Creator" I wrote eist sho"free of religiously encumbered thoughts". There is a world of difference between the 2. In your misrepresentation you imply that I am saying the athuld reject out of hand any notion of a god or creator which is not what I am saying at all. The implications of my words are that the atheist now has their work cut out for them as they now have an opportunity to evaluate everything without depending on any religious contrivance or limitations. I hope this short explanation helps you you understand a bit of my perspective, feel free to ask further questions.
Is there a religion that doesn't have a God/god/karma as the center of it?
Is it possible to reject be "free of religiously encumbered thoughts" without also being free from the God/god/karma behind it?

Let me rephrase:
Yes, its true that: "The lack of belief is not really a quality by itself"
Its also not bad to: start on a clean slate, a tabula rasa from which one can now work things out
The contradiction occurs when on this clean state religious thoughts by default is REJECTED/DISBELIEVED!


How can it be a clean state when the only thing written on the blank slate is, be "free of religiously encumbered thoughts"?

Don't you think it means simply that any other thing except religiously encumbered thoughts are to be entertained in this new "blank slate"?

Escapism!
No one has seen them but we may need to look at effect of werewolves, unicorns and vampires. The lack of evidence of any evidence may indicate that there is nothing about them in the first place.

Unfortunately for the creator, creation itself is a major evidence EXCEPT we are willing to believe that the UNIVERSE created itself!

LordReed:
I don't think there is an "essence of atheism" because it is a similar question to what is the essence of not playing sports or what is the essence of not collecting stamps. The word atheism shouldn't even exist because we don't usually define things by their lack or absence. The lack of belief is not really a quality by itself but to me it does represent a clean slate, a tabula rasa from which one can now work things out free of religiously encumbered thoughts.
Deep thoughts you have there unfortunately also with a contradiction.

Yes, its true that:
"The lack of belief is not really a quality by itself"
Its also not bad to: start on a clean slate, a tabula rasa from which one can now work things out
The contradiction occurs when on this clean state religious thoughts by default is REJECTED/DISBELIEVED!


How can it be a clean state when the only thing written on the blank slate is, "REJECT the thought of the Creator?"
