Lostz:

you didn't need to type a long answer.

just identify the ancestor and the one that came first.


you said we should ask you anything

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.

I will appreciate whatever comes directly from you, no references please! smiley

Please give one example of a human society, group or organization that you've noticed to have gotten excellent result regarding this Solution 1?


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.

what ancestor and which one came first?

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.

Even if Mubarak is released today surely he has learnt a lesson. His supporters are at their respective homes supporting him on internet over a cup of tea.

Where did i say this?


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;

How do you think humanism can solve the problems of racism and politics, since the brains of people from each race has been molded by their historicity?

For instance consider Nigeria, we have three major tribes apart from other minor tribes numbering about 60 with divers cultures, traditions and rules of conduct.

How possible is peaceful cohabitation?


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

what source? and did everything just come up magically once? there was no order?

did science back your claim?


That is why I mentioned common descent.

I am not talking about how life first started. I am talking about how all life have the same common ancestor and this has been proven by DNA.

I am not just replying for argument sake Bro.

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.

There is common descent. All life comes from the same source.

It becomes a meaningless question when you realise that it depends on your definition of "plant" or "animal" at a cellular level.

I can define ATHEISM to the best of my knowledge, but what do you mean by "humanism"


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.

There is one and Almighty GOD.

you can choose how you worship him.

There is life after death and reincarnation.

The problem with Africans is that they have thrown away their traditional religion for Whites and Arab religion

I only agree with the last sentence in your comment.

Can you prove that your Almighty god exists?

Back to the main matter @ hand, what do you understand about God (programmer) theory and what is your take

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.

No other God claims being the Alpha and Omega.

No other God respects our freewill.

No other God cares about Humankind and Salavation and makes it our Choice.

No other God has outlined history before its happening.

No other God claims perefect Holliness.

No other God has a great future plan for Man.

No other God has more fiery.

No other God receives with open arms in forgiveness us even when we are at are most dissapointing lowest times.

God is Love.

God as also a comsuming fire.

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.

Logical Fallacies Right?

The Devil is your master , but you are oblivious of that fact.

Keep following his commands , he'll reap you sooner or later if you don't repent.

Surrender your life to Christ and run from the grip of the mind control of darkness.

The Devil has no good for you.

I do not believe in God and neither do I believe in the devil. Supernatural is not something I believe in.

If I many ask, why do you believe in your God? Why not the thousand other Gods like Zeus and Thor?

Islam for Muslims / Re: COVID19: A Lesson To All Muslims And Mockers by whitelotus: 5:22am On May 23, 2020
babakb:


I didn't mock them, I want them and the rest of the world to take heed of Allah's signs and warnings, it's not a mistake that non Muslim countries are most hit by the Pandemic and most of the preventive measures are regular Muslim practices.

The OP doesn't want us to declare our victory here but we will, Alhamdulillah for this great victory to the Muslim Ummah, these countries better join us or perish.

To date Saudi has only less than 1000 deaths while US, UK, Spain, France, Italy, Brazil, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany etc has recorded over 300,000 thousand deaths, Iran is a rebel in the Ummah because they follow Shia so they are facing the consequences too.

So, in your head, God is punishing non muslims and the Shia munafiqun with covid19?

You are not making any sense. I really pity your hatred

Has any atheist proven that life after death is scam?


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.

Mr. Defender why you carry his matter on your head like this? Do u even know where the matter started? It wasn't from this post here.
You are just too forward. Hopefully you will follow Mubarak soon.


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?
