Ajibam: very busy with somethings...

I hope they are things that make you happy, or at least things that are worth the time you are giving. It was nice meeting you in cyberspace. I hope you will not be a stranger.

Your responses when I said I had heard God's voice...

macof: Lol u heard Yahweh?
How was his voice? Soft or bold? Does he talk in rhymes or acappella mode

macof: I think he sounded like ur brain playing tricks on u

macof: Lol I too have heard voices in a room with me alone. The voice was like "macof, macof, dump christianity and revert to the ways of your ancestors, you have been chosen to led people back to the God of their fathers"And I was like "yes Lord, use me to bring light to these people"

macof: The God of ur fathers house
And there no real difference between "almighty God" and "pagan god"
I.e Olorun is almighty God and also a pagan god

macof: Religion
If only anyone has truly seen God

Then I find this on another thread...

macof: having high consciousness doesn't mean believing wat I believe
It means .....I am getting tired of stating the importance of consciousness and Ori so read...
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness
www.ifafoundation.org/the-ori/
We have been through this, <<< this is where ur low consciousness is visible.
Sentient beings have organic features and Orisha are not sentient, not skydaddies who party and sit on thrones.
They are forces of nature, the very core of universal existence.
Of course yes, Sango can be cajoled to Manifest
I have seen Osun manifest with my own eyes

So I'm crazy...

Khalessi: Hello Texas woman cowgirl long time...

Howdy

Nahum777: Lmao, very funny... Yea all Americans should be whites innitially but because of colonialism and Sex between two races and naturalization, thats why you see blacks and other races in America. . . I asked if you were white, because i wanted to ask, i felt it. .

well okay then...

Sanguine: I'd like to know who just 'like'd this post...

ponti93: Yea.like this post needs to get to front page for more coverage and opinion.

.

ConquerAll: What I want to see

1. To see members avatar alongside posts. The tech guys can simply implement gravatar to avoid too much hits on the forum server.
2. To have a kind of voting system in place that allows members to vote topics to front page instead of relying on the judgements of mods like...(if you call names, na you sabi)

My take shaa!

interesting idea

[quote author=real_ugee]NL being more pretty (like Facebook) cannot be overlooked, because itz a forum... There are a lot of good looking forums today. All I am saying is that NL's design should be better than this.[/quote]Nothing wrong with pretty, if it can be done cost effectively. While NL is entertaining and educational to us, it is a business to Seun. So Seun, what say you? Prettier?

vcvibes: Ah would like to be getting notification on my quoted post so dat ah can easily reply

Nice one.

cool

aManFromMars: Actually, I did that on purpose. I just needed to hear you say this.

smh...

aManFromMars: NB: you never got back to me on that modified post. still confused as to what went wrong there.

If you didn't modify the video, I can't imagine how it got changed. I did not send 'Shut Up' to LB.
Mysterious tinz...spooky

aManFromMars: Agreed. Though you'd be making a mistake if you'd identify loving your neighbor, caring for the sick and lowly as 'Christian' morals. Truth is they aren't. Atheists, despite their lack of belief, understand the value of these roles in creating a peaceful society.

On the other hand, what would you say about Christians who have no respect for these values? Nigerian Pentecostalism has created a new brand of Christians that are easily provoked by opposing voices, and care little for that which concerns society. It greatly undermines the role a Christian should play in building a society rather it perpetuates a 'if God be for me, who can be against me' mentality that only breeds selfishness and contempt for those who do not see things their way. It also substitutes hard work for prayer and basically renders most incapable of sound reasoning. When you live in a society such as this as an atheist, it's hard to be apathetic and ignore the bs that occurs daily in the name of religion.

Once again...pic and chose the parts that give you a supposed advantage. You conveniently left this part out when you quoted me...

texanomaly: Some may choose to disregard what they have been taught, but it is there none the less.

People who act and believe the way you described are not true Christians.

aManFromMars: Not sure I quite get you here.

Yeah. I figured.

ebamma: Is God willing to prevent
evil, but not able? Then he
is not omnipotent. Is he
able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent. Is
he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor
willing? Then why call
him God?-epicurus /freud

*rolls eyes*

Here we go again....

Here is my response to that...

https://www.nairaland.com/1328270/god-does-not-allow-things#16305388

Now you come back with the same response I hear every time this debate comes up. Then someone else chimes in with another 'canned' response....and the cycle begins again.

There has got to be a better way.

onetrack: Christian values and, to a lesser extent, Jewish values are themselves largely based on pagan Hellenistic philosophies such as the Stoics, as well as the thinking of Plato. Judaism and Christianity are not exclusively the beginning of 'modern' moral values.

If you will read my statement and the post I was referring to, you will realize I was talking strictly about the atheists raised in a Christian home. I was referring to the fact that their value systems were created as children, and can not be uninstalled. So to speak. Some may choose to disregard what they have been taught, but it is there none the less. You can't claim that you would have had good moral character despite your upbringing, if it is all you know. No amount of study and history can negate those core values. They will always be there. All I am saying is that a child's upbringing is undoubtedly the foundation for the building of his character. In the case of the atheist raised as a Christian, he has a moral center established by those parameters. I am not here to debate where or when Christianity came about.

Something else I find interesting is the fact that atheist condemn superstition, witchcraft and the existence of any God(s), Yet they are not opposed to using them, when they feel it gives them an advantage.

Oluwaseytiano: you are still living with ur head in the sand

I find Mr Troll's statement interesting. Many, not all, of the atheist here on NL were raised as Christians, by their own admission. They have no personal evidence that this particular hypothesis has any scientific credence. How would they know? The fact that they are atheist now, does not negate the fact they spent their formative years as Christians. Mr Troll, weather you like, it or not, your current value system and morality are based on a Christian upbringing. There is no escaping it. Somewhere in your subconscious, are those values you learned as a child. How can you differentiate from whence your value system is derived.

som people com to Nairaland to claim Face Of Maclean..

When their teeth is not even close to white..


Say the truth n The truth will set u free..

mmttcchew


someone like Anselm n Logicboy..

I can swear that their teeths are not white yet they keep using this smiley


when people like me that av pure white teeth use this



[/quote]There are no teeth in that pic. How do I know they are white. As for LB's teeth, what do I care if his teeth are white or not. I don't judge people by their appearance. I was commenting on your pic. That is a good looking guy. From this post, I have to wonder if the beauty is only skin deep.

[quote author=Nigellus_Hosan]me of course [/quote]um...I...um...well...I...um... ...just...

Emusan: Lb I support your view.

Like I said sometimes ago that "Atheist have been helping Jesus to seperate shaft from wheat" because many christians really don't know the God their serving i.e Logicboy & co. Some are still christians because they were born into it.

In Sport section I saw a brother who was trying to advise a new NLer he said "don't spend much time on religion section because you might turn to an Atheist" I was like hmmmm.

I remember this verse "the hour will not come withiout fallen away first" and Jesus says "whosoever will endure in faith till He comes will He give the crown of life"

hehehe

umm...that guy in your profile pic...you? or not?

Logicboy03: The big bang isnt false. It is the besxt explanation scientists can come up with. It is just that any creation or universe origin theory will ever be complete....we just have the big bang as the most sensible one and the bible creationism as one of the most ridiculous ones

smh...your 'so called' logic is showing...

[quote author=Gab-real]I don't exactly agree wit you. Because jesus didn't have a donkey doesn't mean pastors shouldn't have jets. Jesus died on the cross, should oda pastors die on the cross too? With wat you have said, your claim is dat no rich pastor is a true follower of Christ.[/quote]You totally ignored the important part of Logicboys post.
