The dude has got so many unanswered allegations against him. Would have posted the link to that particular thread, but it has been taken down by Seun for some reasons.

I think you have a personal beef with this dude, if not i see no reason why you wouldn't pay a visit to verify his claims, it took me weeks to be convinced anyway, he's the only dealer on nairaland that wouldn't give his account number like many others will do to send money for a car, i commend him for that

Once again thanks for the suv, i will surely use your service again

a big thanks to you Gabride, you've successfully proven yourself, the suv meet my expectation, once again thanks for keeping to your words. my regards to your rep Otunba

Will recommend this guy to every one here who needs affordable cars

4.5/5.0 3.5/5.0

My close friend in a relationship with a girl. The relationship is less than a week old but the girl keeps telling me she is ready to dump him for me when I'm ready. She even said it to his face but my reply is always 'Papa is my friend'. The truth is that I like this girl and would have gone for her if not for my friend's feelings. Now, I'm looking for a way to get her and also save my friendship. Is there anybody who has been in this situation before? Any Advice?

You still dont get it. How is 1+1=2 your philosophy. You were told in kindergarten that 1+1=2. it isnt your philosophy. If you had grown up in an island all by yourself, you probably would have seen things completely differently. there was a time men sat for hours and argued that the world was flat and the man who said it was round was considered a fool. You are a summation of other people's thoughts. Your whole life's beliefs and values are a summation of other people's thoughts. That is why I called your position fallacy. The truth is,, we are presented with choices in life and we have to choose. The secret most times is that your mind can be dominated by one form of imformation more than another and then you make an influenced choice based on what you have inside. The claim that what you have is true knowledge is a subject of the things you have come to accept. That is why I said, if you seek with an open heart, you will find. There is a dept of knowledge in man because man was created in God's image. But most men run away from it and seek external knowledge from other peoples deductions. That was the mistake eve made in the garden and they fell. The way God works is that He communicates with you and the depth of your heart confirms His communication to you. But you cannot receive such communication until you open up your heart to His truth.

You are the one who doesn't get it. Wether you go to school or live your whole life alone in the the jungle, you will still realise that when you add two things together, it gives you two things. This is more than a common sense for crying out loud. It is an absolute truth.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I never disagreed with you. The only thing I don't know if I disagreed with is your definition of 'fact/Knowledge' which is more complicated to me than what I percieved from your post. That is why I explained mine. And in the end I agreed with your philosophy.

thelastPope:

What you have just done is what is called real fallacy and self deceit. Your whole hypothesis and conclusions are based on what was handed down to you by teachers right from when you were a toddler. What if you had grown up in a world where you where taught that 1+1=5. Your equation and conclusion would have ended up differently. You claim you have knowledge and truth but all your knowledge is based on someone else work and thought. What if the person was wrong or outright lying. exactly what happened when they recently declared that Pluto was no longer a planet. Do you know how many people lived their lives daily and scientifically on the "knowledge" that Pluto was a planet? do you know how many theories and calculations were done based on Pluto being a planet. The foolishness of some scientists is that science knows so much, but in reality, science knows very little. Very very little my friend. In fact, science is proudly declaring things today as discovery, that were clearly known thousands of years back and written in the bible. An example is Laughter therapy.

Point is, man is a faith being, including you. You do everything you do daily purely based on faith. You know earthquakes can occur but you dont fear when you walk the streets. You know airplane crash everyday, but you dont constantly look over your head if one is coming down right now. You have simply learnt to believe. The problem is, you dont want to believe in God because he requires certain things of you that you cant live with. That is the real issue with atheists! They think that by rejecting the supernatural, they can keep themselves temporarily safe from it. It is a big fallacy because you will always answer to it one day! No escape from it!

Do you known the meaning of Fallacy?
There is nothing fallacious about my post. It is you who is too blind by faith in somebody else philosophy that you cannot understand simple arithmetic logic. Even a new born baby with fully developed brain can count the breast of his mother and conclude it is double. If you cannot understand common arithmetic logic, how can you understand my theory when you don't even know the meaning of fallacy. This is not an argument but a theory open to criticism from open minded people only.

Belief is not knowledge or fact.


I run my life on fact/knowledge

Let me explain the relationship between fact/knowledge, believe and truth in my own perspective.

To solve a mathematical problem all the variables are needed to get the absolute answer. Consider this mathematical statement.
1+2+3+4=10 where a=1, b=2, c=3, 4=d and 10=X.
a,b,c and d are the variables, a+b+c+d=X is the formular and X is the solution we are looking for.
If all the variables are known, we get an absolute value of X (solution) which is 10. But if one or more value(s) of the variable is unknown, we get a value of X relative to the value of the missing variables based on the known variables.
Illustration(of unknown value of a):
a+2+3+4=X
:. 9=X-a
In the illustration above, the value of X is relative to (depends on) the value of a

Now, if you're a computer expert, you will agree with me that most (if not all) life problems can be mathematically illustrated.
Now in real life, the truth is usually assummed based on the fact/knowledge/proof that that we have. Mathematically, the facts are the variables and the truth is the solution. And in most life problems, many of the variable are usually unknown and our assumed truth is usually a belief (relative truth). [I assume you understand the theory of relativism and universalism]

Moral of the story: The truth (relative/believe) is usually based on the known fact and relative to the unknown fact. But if the number of unknown fact is zero then the truth is absolute.
Nevertheless, I will agree with you that the variable should be based on facts/knowledge not on a certian book or religion invented by
organised group of human beings nor the oral tradition of our forefathers.

Is it thus insincere to believe that Santa Claus does not exist? Or that in the whole wide universe, there is no spaghetti monster flying around and doing things? Can you absolutely prove that those do not exist?

My definition of believe is accept the fact 100% (i.e with zero percentage of doubt). Sorry there is no other word I can use. With that being said, it is reasonable to doubt the inexistence of santa claus since you were not there then to actually confirm or not confirm the absolute truth. Aside from natural laws like the gas laws, laws of motion, mathematical statements and few others that are accepted by atleast a typical homo sapiens brian provided it understands it. Other rules/laws/statements like moral laws, human rights, 10 commandments etc are usually relative to some extent.
Check out 'universalism' and 'relativism'

Simple.

Focus on the important things in life and you will see that the supernatural is of secondary importance to your antural world

You're are saying I should ignore my believe. How can I focus if I don't believe in myself. 'Cos I know you cannot believe in yourself 100% and still believe in 'god' 100% vice versa. Most importantly, your believe system is the engine that runs your life.

advocate666: Op, why do you think it is insincere to believe there is no god?

because your cannot absolutely prove it. Same goes for those who believe in God

They look nice!

I believe it is ignorant to believe there is 'god', likewise, insincere to believe there is none. Though it is wise to fear there might be one if you can and choose to live with fear of the unknown. I, personally 'cannot' and choose not to because I feel it is better for me to be comfortable with what I believe in than to believe in what I'm comfortable with by satifying fear. I choose to believe in myself but the fear of 'god' that has been invoked in me mainly because of my background is making me uncomfortable. So how do I overcome it.

P.S: This is religious section, not christian. So, don't tell me the fear of 'God' is the beginning of wisdom. The same bible tells you 'he' has not given you the spirit of fear.
