bolaino: Any sensible human being who values life should be scared of islam, a religion that preaches death to any body or group of people who objects to it's teachings should be treated with caution,

just the other day an american ambassador was killed in libya by muslims who felt offended that their holy prophet was insulted in a film, any sensible atheist would refrain from antagonizing muslims, so atheists like wiegraf who feel that they are fearless should make scathing posts about islam using his real name and identity,

bolaino: comments like these make me question the sanity of most atheists, in your quest to prove to the world that u are smart, u come out as the bible puts it "the FOOL who says in his heart, that there is no good" smh.

bolaino: smh, typical ranting of a radical atheist, Godless and unhappy, well, if u feel hurt that I'm calling u chickenlittle, u could jump off a cliff for all I care.

bolaino: why do u guys think I'm a christian? I'm not a christian, I'm an agnostic, an agnostic who believes in the supernatural, well, as an agnostic

bolaino: but atheists do not go about condemning these evil acts, but they go about telling. Howling and crying about how pastors are robbing gullible people blind of their money through tithes and offerings,

bolaino: I don't bother much with muslims, cos it's obvious they are doing it wrong,

bolaino: the reason I think freethinkers lambaste christians a lot is cos christians go about with this kind of "God complex chosen people mentality" and dats what grinds my gears about christians, in islam if u are a good man doing good things, but u're not a muslim and u die, u'll be going to paradise, (that's understandable) but in christianity, you might be the "goodest" man in the world but if u don't accept jesus as ur savior then, you're a goner, that's one of the most absurd tenets of christianity.

bolaino: The reason I brought this out was, that if we are to be honest with ourselves, we'll agrEe that christians are better at taking criticism than muslims, no muslim would allow you insult, SAW, lol, without resorting to murder, but christians take insults and criticisms, (not in the best manner though) without resorting to violence.

hisblud: Another common trait of an athiest



Instead of taking up the challenge personally, u resort to the usual [BOLDED] You de fear simple challenge... why are you standing behind your white master james randi are you not scientific enough to stand on your own?

sakaguchi: Well, just to ask both sides one question, how many millenia ago was the first man created, what race was he, what country was he created, who were the spouse of his children?

hisblud: James Randi Fraud!!!! Someone hyping a fraudster that have refused to give the $1million dollars after a presentation and you are here exalting him.. SMH, guess you need to do more research on him and his $1 million fraud before hiding behind the veil of $1million

hisblud: James Randi Fraud!!!!

hisblud: James Randi Fraud!!!!

hisblud: James Randi Fraud!!!!

hisblud: James Randi Fraud!!!!

hisblud: WEIGRAF!! no need to claim the money... am contented with my 'peanuts'. But for you, that is not satisfied, come over and see things for YOURSELF!

wiegraf: Please don't waste our time.

wiegraf: consider shutting your stoopid, vacuous, asinine trap.

hisblud: Hmm, grammer only this atheists are ranting on this thread. Since you say there is no supernatural and hence no God, you are foo.ls! Only fo.ols say there is no God. Now the god the ombatse worship is a witness to reality of the supernatural. Because even the bible attest to the existence of other gods -.

hisblud: And one manifest his powers against power of a gun, not penetrating its believers, then am sorry you have been deceived by naturalism. Lets make a deal, come down to lafia nasarawa state, i will direct you to the hospital to see first hand what really happened to those men who died and ask doctors, Roadsafety personnel who attended to the dead and the injured. If a god manifest himself, you dont believe, if the One manifest, you wont have the opportunity to believe. Better be agnostic than an atheist. Agnostics are closer to the supernatural.

Born 2be Rich: If you dont understand some statements simply say so instead of going into childish rant mode in here...I wont follow you to exchange words, because i believe am bigger and better than that...

Born 2be Rich: I was simply explaining to Niflheim that it isnt everything the white man says we should belive...Niflheim belive that there was nothing like magic or witches aka supernatural occurences especially when he asked a white guy( i hope you even know what the topic is about) that it is all science and i reminded him that the same white guys whom claimed that there is no witch or anything called black magic killed people centuries ago all in the sake of accussing the people of practicing black magic...why didnt the white people accuse them of practicing science then

Born 2be Rich: Of what benefit do i want to derieve from the killings of people...Please go through the thread again for proper understanding..

Born 2be Rich: Did any statement made by me say that i find the killing of witches justifiable

Who let you graduate from the university? Thats if you went to one.

Born 2be Rich: The same westeners that are decieving you all were killing witches and wizards in their country in the past centuries ago when they burned them on a stake or hung them...

*Kails*:
sir, what they call "magic" pertains to tricks and tricks are skills that anyone can acquire.

Supernatural is the spirit, visions, intuition; etc.

3cassava sticks: link the thread abeg

Avicenna: Sorry, wie. That career is (insert bad words here)

I just had to show face for a minute or two.

Hw far, bro? We should have that bestiality thread again. Never managed to comment.

*Kails*:
since when did "magic" become supernatural?

smh. wow.

google: mag·ic
/ˈmajik/
Noun
The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.

onetrack: It's strange how supernatural events never happen in front of, say, western scientists. They always have some stupid scientific explanation for everything.

Born 2be Rich: So our fore fathers were using digitalis to perform some occultic performance in the past right?

The same westeners that are decieving you all were killing witches and wizards in their country in the past centuries ago when they burned them on a stake or hung them...

Now they are telling you it is all science, but back then they called it black magic...Yet we accept anything they tell us...

Witches and wizards exist my friend.

Truely we are being brainwashed by the westerners...

Area_boy: its so difficult for me to read.. each time i hear Cleveland, i think of family guy


James Randi was my favourite in catching those lying, thieving, charlatan bastards out

yahoo: A year after Amanda Berry disappeared in Cleveland, her mother appeared on "The Montel Williams Show" to speak to a psychic about what happened to her daughter.

Psychic Sylvia Browne, who has made a career of televised psychic readings, told Louwanna Miller on a 2004 episode of the show that her daughter was dead, causing Miller to break down in tears on the show's set.

"She's not alive, honey," Browne told Miller on the show, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper. "Your daughter's not the kind who wouldn't call."

Miller told the newspaper that she believed "98 percent" in what Browne told her. Miller died a year later from heart failure.

On Monday, Berry was found alive after she broke free from a home in Cleveland where she says she has been kept for the past decade.

Browne did not return phone calls seeking comment today by ABC News. The Montel Williams show, through syndicator CBS, also did not return calls for comment. The show no longer airs new episodes.

It's not the first time that Browne, and other psychics, have come under fire for their involvement in law enforcement cases.

In 2003, Browne incorrectly told the parents of missing teen Shawn Hornbeck that their son was dead, and his body could be found somewhere near "two jagged boulders," according to her premonition.

Nearly four years later, Hornbeck was found alive, and Browne was widely criticized in the media for causing the Hornbecks additional grief.

A website called "Stop Sylvia Browne," dedicated to cataloguing Browne's purported failures at prediction, sprang up in 2006.

Last year, Dwayne Baker told ABC News that after his son went missing in 2007, he was flooded with calls from psychics offering potential leads into the whereabouts of Travis Baker.

"It's very hard,' Dwayne Baker said. "I went through everything. My son was missing for two years, two months and 12 days. "Psychics called me. I even received a DVD in the mail that a guy claimed he could talk to the dead and this was Travis' voice, with no return address. I don't understand why people would want to do that."

"The psychics…" said Baker, 45, before pausing to let out a long sigh. "I hate to say how many of those called me and said they knew where Travis was. My mother and wife went to one and paid them $100."

Travis Baker's remains were located in 2009.

Brad Garret, a former special agent with the FBI and ABC News consultant said that alleged tips from psychics rarely help solve a case.

"As far as finding a victim, finding remains, finding evidence or in any way helping to solve the case, it's never been my experience," he said. "So, it's really a disservice to victims."

"We've never had a psychic lead that turns out to be correct," said Lt. Dave Parker, of the Anchorage, Alaska, police department, after 18-year-old Samantha Koenig went missing in February, 2012.

Today, Brown faced backlash on social media for her incorrect prediction about Amanda Berry. It is unclear whether she has helped to solve a crime with her psychic predictions.

"Psychics make me sick. Here's an example: Sylvia Browne told Amanda Berry's Mum (now dead) her daughter was dead," wrote Twitter user Chris McBriarty.

Qkeyxyz: Okay. Substitute hinduism/buddhism for christianity but don't say they have humanistic values, rather it is humanism which has adopted these ancient doctrines but rejecting their divine attributes.

humanist site: Knowledge of the world is derived by observation, experimentation, and rational analysis. Humanists find that science is the best method for determining this knowledge as well as for solving problems and developing beneficial technologies. We also recognize the value of new departures in thought, the arts, and inner experience—each subject to analysis by critical intelligence.

Humans are an integral part of nature, the result of unguided evolutionary change. Humanists recognize nature as self-existing. We accept our life as all and enough, distinguishing things as they are from things as we might wish or imagine them to be. We welcome the challenges of the future, and are drawn to and undaunted by the yet to be known.

Ethical values are derived from human need and interest as tested by experience. Humanists ground values in human welfare shaped by human circumstances, interests, and concerns and extended to the global ecosystem and beyond. We are committed to treating each person as having inherent worth and dignity, and to making informed choices in a context of freedom consonant with responsibility.

Life's fulfillment emerges from individual participation in the service of humane ideals. We aim for our fullest possible development and animate our lives with a deep sense of purpose, finding wonder and awe in the joys and beauties of human existence, its challenges and tragedies, and even in the inevitability and finality of death. Humanists rely on the rich heritage of human culture and the lifestance of Humanism to provide comfort in times of want and encouragement in times of plenty.

Humans are social by nature and find meaning in relationships. Humanists long for and strive toward a world of mutual care and concern, free of cruelty and its consequences, where differences are resolved cooperatively without resorting to violence. The joining of individuality with interdependence enriches our lives, encourages us to enrich the lives of others, and inspires hope of attaining peace, justice, and opportunity for all.

Working to benefit society maximizes individual happiness. Progressive cultures have worked to free humanity from the brutalities of mere survival and to reduce suffering, improve society, and develop global community. We seek to minimize the inequities of circumstance and ability, and we support a just distribution of nature's resources and the fruits of human effort so that as many as possible can enjoy a good life.

Humanists are concerned for the well being of all, are committed to diversity, and respect those of differing yet humane views. We work to uphold the equal enjoyment of human rights and civil liberties in an open, secular society and maintain it is a civic duty to participate in the democratic process and a planetary duty to protect nature's integrity, diversity, and beauty in a secure, sustainable manner.

Thus engaged in the flow of life, we aspire to this vision with the informed conviction that humanity has the ability to progress toward its highest ideals. The responsibility for our lives and the kind of world in which we live is ours and ours alone.

Logicboy03: I understand your point. All religions are humanistic to a degree but then they diverge at a point from humanism.

I will be easier for someone to define humanism first, which I feel the op failed to do.


100% disagree that Jesus was a humanist

Ihedinobi: You know, when you look beyond the things they think they are saying, you start laughing and really enjoying yourself, bro. Me and my twin were a lot like that. Try it
