Lostz: You have asked and I have answered. Your questions are starting to be repetitive and circular. Before you ask any more, do some reading on common descent before we go further. |

Maximus69: Rwanda. The Hutus and the Tutsis were rival tribes and a civil war broke out. However, today, the Rwandan government is actively trying to involve both sides in government offices. So far so good in Rwanda as it is a growing economy now and the middle class is growing. Malaysia, the Chinese. the Malay and the Indian groups are all given some representation in government. Although, the muslim Malaysians will always have the most power in government. The solution is not an easy one and it is difficult to employ in a democracy (both examples, do not exist in a democracy). But it is the only peaceful solution. 1 Like |

Lostz: I am happy with your curiosity, but I do not have time to be explaining evolutionary biology. That is a whole complicated lecture I just dont have the time or energy for. Rather, I would ask you to do your research and come back to ask much more informed and specific questions. 1 Like |

Rashduct4luv: Mubarak has been locked up before. So, this will only make him more determined. If you dont believe that Yoruba muslims should convert the christian sides of their family, why bring up the fact that an atheist comes from a muslim family? As for Mubarak Bala, see the pic below and realise what muslims should think about his case;

Maximus69: Humanists value the use of reasoning and logic to answer questions/problems. The logical answer to Nigeria's problems of division lies in the historical practices of other countries faced with the same problem When you have a non-homogeneous or diverse population who are in disagreement with each other, there are two solutions 1. Proportional representation in government and transparent policies respecting such diversity. 2. Division and separation of the country so that warring tribes can stay on their own. Solution 1 is the meeker solution. Civil wars have erupted over solution 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, the definition of secular humanism came from my own brain. I included a link for further research. Thanks |

incogni2o: I'm very sorry but that would be a waste of my time. You would have to be specific in saying what is special about your God. Holiness, power and fire are not special things to most Gods. 1 Like |

Maximus69: Secular humanism is simply a philosophy surrounding the idea that man can achieve a moral framework without religion or gods. Secular humanists believe in use of reasoning and science in determining truth and making decisions such as government policies. https://secularhumanism.org/what-is-secular-humanism/ |

Ghostrye: It is very possible. But that is how far we can go for now. This universe could have been coded by a celestial programmer or many celestial programmers. Some scientists infer this because of certain laws of physics and the universe having many consistent characteristics. However, there exists no proof, only theories/guesses and as such, no reason to believe in a programmer God. 1 Like |

incogni2o: There are other monotheistic religions. Many gods claim to be the mightiest. Many Gods claim to have the same qualities as your god. How many religions have you studied? Ishikism is a monotheistic religion. In short, your God is one out of many. 5 Likes |

Ladylite: Hello there! It is impossible to prove anything after death. No one knows what happens when we die. At best, one can theorise that we just cease to exist in the same way that we didn't exist before we were born. Also, since the brain stops working when we die, it makes sense that we would lose all consciousness at death and we are gone forever....... In summary, no one truly knows what happens when we are dead. Religions are just playing guessing games with heaven and hell. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Rashduct4luv: This Mubarak case will cause embarrassment to islam in Nigeria. So, I'm not worried. As a Muslim that lives in the west, you know many Yoruba muslims who come from Christian families and vice versa. So, are you saying that muslims from such families cannot talk about islam to others until they convert their whole family? |

pu7pl3: I'm not a marvel fan boy. If you see me hyping marvel that means I'm just trolling and not serious. Is marvel paying me money? As for the guy's anticipated movie, I know the guy on this thread and we have mentioned many upcoming movies on this thread. Black Adam is bot even near the most mentioned. So, the problem here is you butting into something that's not your concern. |
