Adaeze003: You didn't give them scores on grammatical correctness. Check the first page again. Or did they all score zero?

Corrected...

Is'nt sentence structure a part of grammatical correctness?

Adaeze003: Again miss taxanomaly, no points for grammatical correctness. Edit your scores.

Should I go easy on them? I can't help it. The English teacher in me can't manage it. Sorry

@plaetton...I'm afraid I have derailed your thread here.

@ those who answered my education question...can we discuss this when I come to Nigeria? I would very much like to hear more. Thanks

sorry....here

MyJoe: No, they’re not. Only mathematics is in theory but you can find a way around that. You read what Plaetton wrote – the system was never designed to develop the individual. The result is that every individual has his own tiny universe which begins and ends with his religion. Imagine when someone learnt I don’t go to church and her question – not jokingly, but seriously – was “so what do you do on Sundays?” Someone else on learning I don’t pray stared at me the way she would a child molester who’s also a serial killer and a Yobe terrorist and muttered that she had never encountered that sort of person in her life. I read a post where Logicboy described Joshthefirst as dumb. He is wrong. Josh is quite intelligent. At least he writes good sentences and I am sure that in a non-religious conversation he would be able to talk intelligently. The problem is that he is captive to a concept. When he is defending, say Jephthah’s sacrifice he is not talking from his own intellectual processes but merely repeating something handed to him. What proper education can do is create some AWARENESS in the individual and give him the tools to THINK properly.

Is there a thread, on this subject, in the education section? As a teacher, I find this disconcerting. It explains a lot. Here in the US we are forbidden, per our constitution, to bring religion into public school. I was educated in this public school system. I did, however, attend a religious university. Leaving religion out of my education did not stop me from having one. I do, however, in this instance see your point. I have been on NL long enough to see it. I would very much like to see how a thread on this subject plays out.

As for Josh, I believe he has studied the bible for himself, with real intent, and he has made his own assessment. I believe he has developed a testimony on his own. In spite of, his upbringing. I believe he IS smart enough to NOT allow societal bias to color his study, and understanding of scripture.

Eating leftover ravioli. Ready

Uyi Iredia: Dry thread. Oya atheists, and fellow non-Christians not Muslims make we talk how this place go move ahead. The place dry gan ! Let's start by talking about good aspevts we like in religion. BTW um, instead of making new threads post here and help keep this section alive.

Good idea. I'm a Christian though, I guess I don't get a say here.

*whispers*
But he's right.

Uyi Iredia: U sure u gat enpugh folks for make. Furthermore, I sevond texanomaly as a judge. She's objective on the Religion board and gets along well with Christians and all others on that board. Lastly, I replied your PM.

Thanks Iredia

Joshthefirst: I don't normally take you seriously again.

It seems some of you do not even know the meaning of hypocrisy.
Please go to your dictionary and find its meaning.

Josh...you have to admit, there are some Christians on this thread who have not represented our faith in a good light. I am actually surprised that many posts here, on both sides, were not hidden as warnings. I will not name names, because their words are here for all to see.

One last thing, I hope we can all take to heart;

Better to remain silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt.

MyJoe: Mazaje don vex. For solution - well, I think it might help - I will recommend we make philosophy, physics, mathematics and history compulsory for all secondary school pupils.

Is it not already?

This thread has become a comedy.

aManFromMars: Belief threatened?
Look at this learner.

You boys...

Smh

aManFromMars: Na fear make you post am three times abi.

Chill.

It seems like Pascal's Wager has got you. Believe in God and be safe. I understand.


but erm.. keep praying for me.

I go always pray for.

ogugua88: The link from last year's debate? Here ya go. https://www.nairaland.com/1067361/debate-money-sustains-romantic-love

I'll be sending out a pm to all involved within the next few hours on the matter as well.

Thanks

ogugua88: You sure can. You're on the judges' list.

Thanks. Can you send me the other link? I only have this one. I don't have the details.
Thanks again.

Joshthefirst: people normally react that way when their beliefs are threatened.

Hello. You've had a busy day.

Can I be a judge? I can be fair and impartial. I am good at listening to all points of view, and am not quick to judgement. I believe in all having the right to their opinions and beliefs.

Please

Mr Troll: if na you nko?

I bin think say musky no de vex o. Hehehehehehe.

I know he is really a sweetheart. He is just passionate about the subject. We all are.

aManFromMars: Reminds me of Josh.

Make April reach.

Speaking of Josh...you were quite mean.

GustavoFring: Smh Gez

Long time

GustavoFring: Maybe..

I'm an antisocial loner with no friends so maybe that's why it's beauty is lost on me.



Or maybe it really does sound suspiciously like an ode to a dearly departed buttplugger.

Lolz...another one...are you watching Mr. troll?

Wait for it...









SMH

GustavoFring: Reads like a love letter...

Maybe they were bumchums..who knows?

Those were different times. People spoke differently back then. I think its beautiful.
