Christianity EtcRe: What Is The Way Forward After Manmustwacc's Dismissal? I Am Weak! by turnstoner(m): 11:21am On Aug 10, 2013
Enigma: My own view:

manmustwack has been very very very badly treated {And as a previous critic of manmustwack myself, I am not just taking his side}

The "owner" of the website is a most ungrateful, very small minded and extremely disrespectful person.

My own way of dealing with the situation is to severely limit my participation/contribution on the forum to the barest minimum and eventually to zero!

Me too lipsrsealed

Originalsly: For whatever reason....name me a country that would allow a foreign agency to question suspects on their soil...and not have local personnel present as monitor? Sellout.
Haven't you ever heard of ''extraordinary rendition?''

Which cave have you been hiding in?

Friendly nations's security agencies cooperate all the time!
PoliticsRe: Crisis Looms In APC Over Presidential Ticket by turnstoner(m): 10:24am On Aug 08, 2013
Chubhie: For the sake of corruption, i may wish for a principled man as Buhari to one day lead this nation just to clean up the system and lay a new foundation for a new Nigeria like a man i have great respect for JJ Rawlings. APC will be better off concentrating more in winning more states from PDP and stands a better chance in the battle for Aso Rock probably after GEJ tenure.
Buhari is not a principled man who can ''clean-up'' any nation:

The man is a boko haram sympathizer!

Question is does he regard himself as ''Nigerian British MP?
Christianity EtcRe: One Slot Left For Heaven: Bill Gates Or ADEBOYE? by turnstoner(m):
Chibuebem: doing good doesnt qualify you for heaven, philanthropic activities do not qualify one for Life. Believing and confessing gives us salvation. Its simple you see, God made it that way, no one can boast of doing good to enter heaven. WE DO NOT GET INTO GODS KINGDOM BY DOING GOOD, WE GET THERE BY ACCEPTING JESUS SALVATION BY FAITH. Inspite of his good works, if bill gates is perfect and free from sin, both by nature and in life, he should contact me, lets talk. grin
Most reasonable people I know are not interested in your god's kingdom (where doing good doesn't pay)!

Keep it for your gullible folk, by all means!
Christianity EtcRe: Why I Raise My Children Without God by turnstoner(m): 11:01am On Aug 04, 2013
Uyi Iredia: The shift in paradigms (from mostly theistic to mostly materialistic) since then does not bother me: what is 'bothersome' is your inanity crudely displayed.
If the shifts in paradigms and the subsequent accumulation of facts and certainties does not make any difference to you then you must be one prehistoric crocodile.

By saying that the icons of that era didn't have qualms with religion you are suggesting that we shouldn't have, too. In other words, nothing has changed i.e., you are equating the two eras.
Christianity EtcRe: Why I Raise My Children Without God by turnstoner(m):
Uyi Iredia: Science came out of religion: it is most clear that from the medieval era the enlingthment era proceeded and more importantly the icons of that era had no qualms with religion.
The above is a perfect example of crooked logic/reasoning:

If the enlightenment era emerged from the medieval era does that equate the two eras?

The icons of that era didn't have qualms with religion therefore people of modern era should be like them?

Are you so ignorant that you haven't noticed the shifts in paradigms since then huh
Christianity EtcRe: Religion To Disappear By 2041 Claims New Study by turnstoner(m): 7:50am On Jul 26, 2013
Beretta92: I would love to see that happen but I personally feel that some people are so inherently evil that only religion can keep them in check.So,religion serves a good purpose on one hand.
Religion is not inherent, therefore, it can not and does not hold inherently evil people in check. What holds them is man-made law and order (where it is well developed):

The law catches up with them and keeps them behind bars or sends them to the gallows for good.
Christianity EtcRe: Religion To Disappear By 2041 Claims New Study by turnstoner(m): 11:00am On Jul 25, 2013
I think for all REASONABLE people all over the world religion has already disapeared smiley
Christianity EtcRe: The Futility And Emptiness Of Atheistic Philosophy by turnstoner(m): 3:44pm On Jul 23, 2013
Evil Brain: Guy, listen. You can't just quote bible to an atheist and expect that to convince him. Atheists don't believe in the bible. To them it's just a bunch of nonsense written by superstitious pre-industrial holymen. You might as well quote from the Bhagavad gita and expect that to convince a Christian that cows are holy.

If you want to convince an atheist, you need to base your argument on logic and evidence. Appeals scriptural authority only work on those who already believe in your scriptures ie Christians.
Yeah!
spot-on, @evil!

Let's call @feargod&live's argument:

argumentum ad revelation

arguments based on purported revelation from god:

something that goes against the very core of the atheist/agnostic creed (that there was never any revelation from a God) and therefore not likely to make any impression!
Christianity EtcRe: The Futility And Emptiness Of Atheistic Philosophy by turnstoner(m):
FearGodAndLive: The atheists are not worth our time. Christians should move on and learn to ignore them. There's nothing to be gained from arguing with fools.
But Christians cannot ignore Atheists grin

Atheism is the default (NATURAL) mind set while christianity or religion is a contraption of premediaval man overwhelmed by ''mystifying'' natural phenomena that they could not explain.

Science and other modes of enlightenment are demystifying the world's superstitious beliefs and one day pastors will only be good as masters of ceremonies for wedding and naming ceremonies grin shocked

Besides, am convinced that most people don't go to church to worship God anymore.
They go to find boyfriends, girlfriends, wife, husband or to show off their latest jeeps, dress, fashion and whatever

Christianity EtcRe: Here Is Something That Ex-christian Atheists Can Not Do! (stages Of Atheism) by turnstoner(m): 5:44am On Jul 13, 2013
I think you start questioning before you actually stop going to church or wherever it is that you worship.

I remember wondering whether God could actually order that we perform some of the silly motions we used to go through in those days while I worshiped in a congregation!

Segeggs: what about the denominations?
What about it?

Is this your own definition of a religion?

...anything that has denominations, classifications or types is a religion?

Really?
Christianity EtcRe: Is It Right To Worship On The Road Picture by turnstoner(m): 11:00pm On Jul 11, 2013
that is a multiple-lane highway. it is strictly for motorists and not for worshiping.
Are they worshiping the highway?

if they are muslims, isn't that what mosques are for?

Muslims do this all over northern Nigeria ,especially on fridays, depriving motorists the use of the roads.
It should be discouraged.

Christianity EtcRe: Where 2 Oceans Meet And Do Not Mix, Unbelivable Right? by turnstoner(m): 1:50pm On Jun 28, 2013
[quote author=Area_boy]You cant claim to believe both the scientific explanation as well as the "god" idea when your title clearly states "where two oceans meet and do not mix". Complete misrepresentation with that title and you know it. if only you bothered to understand the link I added you wouldn't make yourself look silly[/quote]you know, that's the thing:

So many people proud of their stupidity. Always ready to wave god in your face.

.......and even when it comes to natural disasters and other misfortunes they thank god for sparing them and couldn't careless about those who were unfortunate to be in harm's way angry

[quote author=Chris†Kid]Free speech is a bad thing? What has free speech got to do with this btw?[/quote]Free speech is a good thing but in G. Britain, certain religious clerics (many moslem clerics are well known for this)preach hatred and incite mentally unstable characters like Adebolaja, Adebowale and the latest Somali punk ..what's his name?..to commit this horrendous atrocities in the name of religion, a line has to be drawn between free speech and incitement.

This is what Britain and many European countries have failed to do. Hence they are "paying the price".
