darkchild64:
What I meant by that is that eternity is uneccesary and would be uninteresting

darkchild64:
Op I think you should consider getting professional help if you are really interested in solving your problem

Almost all atheist live with this understanding that everything ends with death,and I must admit that once in a while it might make you see life as meaningless but the truth is that DEATH is actually what makes life worth living,this might sound unreasonable especially when you consider the fact that death often comes at a time least desired,but eternity is a curse,what you should be worried about is not death but living an unfulfilled life,There is so much to live for,let's start with your family,are you saying that the bond you have made with your parents and siblings over the past 21 years is not important to you anymore,so if your sister was to win 10 million naira,you wouldn't feel the slightest happiness for her,you are not entertained why watching films,if Nigeria was to get to the finals of the 2018 world cup you wouldn't be interested in seeing the game,if you were given a chance to hang out with your favourite artiste or actor you wouldn't feel any excitement,if as an engineering student you became had the best grades and was the valedictorian at your convocation,receiving a standing ovation evenfrom your teachers it wouldn't make you feel proud,if you were able to find the cure to cancer which would save the life of millions of people even yet unborn it wouldn't drive you to tears....

Op I think you should look for a new challenge, seek for more interesting adventures, the problem might be you are stuck to one thing,you have not tasted anything in life believe me,even though we know that after eating food we would still get hungry it doesn't stop us from enjoying our favourite delicacies, that is how life is,we all know that one day it would all come to an end it doesn't stop us from enjoying the present
I think your problem might be that you are looking for something with eternal value or pleasure,there is no such thing,the human brain is built in such a way that if you enjoy this today tomorrow you wouldn't enjoy it as much as the first day and it keeps going down,so what you do is look for other things that are pleasurable

However if after all I said you can not see anything exciting in life,then you should seek for real help
But trust me,everyone goes through these kind of phases,if someone lives a long, fulfilled life setting good examples and improving humanity,then death is the only thing remaining
There is a lot of things to enjoy in life bro,trust me a lot of things,your problem might be that you are so anxious of the tomorrow so how can you even live for today ?

TayserMahiri:
You are so obsessed with yourself. If you think you are so important, then note that you arent even half as important as you think you are. You are even worse off, even a footnote is better! Very useless. Life is so meaningless that the Earth itself can get struck by a massive comet and everything on earth turned into nothing/dust and no one would ever know we existed. I dont think anyone can help you with your attitude, not even religion. You are so stressed about death but that is only because of your brain being able to process it and juxtapose it against your current existence where you think you are so awesome and shouldnt die just because.. whatever you think.. If you were another animal, you would realize that all there is is the here and now and maybe tomorrow but visualizing all the way into the future (death) is useless. You would be striving every day to survive because thats all that is neccessary. Every living thing dies, who the hell are you? Even stars and galaxies die!!! The purpose for life is to be lived, and animals know that. If you dont want to live because you will die (how fvcked up is this reasoning) then I feel like we all should tell you to do whatever you want, including killing yourself. Im starting to think you dont even want anything (including dying) because it is useless. Everything is useless, even dying is useless

FOLYKAZE:
I will ignore your personal insults. I am not in for that.

FOLYKAZE:
These are English words that are very related but different entirely. You could turn a blind eye to this but doesn't mean make them same.

Sin is simply an act against divinity.

Immorality is an act against social norms.

If you disagree, present your point.

FOLYKAZE:
Your point is not sensible. Where in the bible did you read that there are other prostitutes in the city? God nor the spies did not condemn her act and did nothing to reprimand her.

FOLYKAZE:
Now, she was spared because she averted the killing of the spies by keeping them in her house. After she was saved, God would have made her know that prostitution is a sin and that she should repent. The point is her action was not condemned.

FOLYKAZE:
I



You have resorted to lying and blackmail. I said there is no mosaic law and all laws were directly from God. I am still saying the samething here.

FOLYKAZE:
Killing of witches was a divine law from God. The order was recorded in the bible. And many Christians have killed kids in respect to the law from God.

FOLYKAZE:
Adultery is a sin.. You are the one arguing against that not me.

My point is prostitution is not a sin but immoral act.

Martinez19:
Didn't you show, players partaking in "religious activities"? Messi's picture was one of them. I focused on that. Don't disgrace yourself on top your thread. E lago niyi

budaatum:
Like, an atheist who know ws¿¡

dalaman:
So? Fact is life has NO universally accepted meaning , just what ever people chose to make of it and follow.

Butterflyleo:
Succinct!

His confusion is hard to watch. Very well expressed response by you and very well simply put.

dalaman:
That is the meaning they've attached and made out of their lives. Boko Haram is trying to create a caliphate on earth and subdue it for Allah through whatever means possible. That is the meaning they've made out for themselves.

Others chose different human endeavours to give and add meaning to their lives.

FOLYKAZE:
Maybe you can help us define immorality and sin. Do this separately.

A simple Google search would review that there are huge differences between both.
http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-sin-and-immorality

I have tried enough to show you the difference. You should come up with better argument.

Secondly, immorality is not wrong against divines. If prostitution is against divinity, God wouldn't have asked his prophets to marry someone in the act.

FOLYKAZE:
More on Rehab, your argument wasn't making sense. You didn't argue on her professional but was building excuses on why she was saved, and asking if she was the only prostitute. Your submission is baseless and does not warrant any tackling.

The point is she is a prostitute and God or the Spies have done nothing to replemish her for her unclean profession. Therefore, there is God is not against prostitution.

FOLYKAZE:
My argument is Mosaic law is God's law. You were saying God didn't approve this law to make it appear like Moses invented the law all by himself. I do not care if the law is passed through moses, the point is it is God's law.

The God's law has it that Christians should kill witch. And many Christians have followed the instruction by killing innocent children been accused as witch.

FOLYKAZE:
Jesus stopped the killing of adulterer not prostitute. The woman in this case commit adultery, she is not a prostitute.

FOLYKAZE:
They were emulating an unforgiving Jesus who whipped an Adult for trading in the synagogue. He could have preached to them if he was setting a good standard. Rather he went violent.

FOLYKAZE:
Whipping, stoning, killing are ordained by God.

Christians are emulating that today by starving kids for months in the name of punishing evil spirits in that child.

These Christians are not quoting out of contest. They were following the teaching of Jesus.

FOLYKAZE:
Jesus should have condemned killing of witches or any unjustified actions in the bible. He was silent which mean he is supportive

FOLYKAZE:
A good tree bears good and not evil fruit. Yahweh is evil and so is Jesus. Therefore he is not perfect.

A perfect being won't go on rampage cursing everything, including tree which doesn't bear fruit, because he is hungry.

A perfect person wouldn't beat hold men with horsewhip. The rod should not be spared for a child, not Adult.

A perfect person would advocate for universal peace. But Jesus boldly said he didn't come for peace. He was here to raze the earth down with fire. And asking his followers to hate their parents and siblings.

FOLYKAZE:
The question is not what is hell created for. I asked, who created hell.

Iliveforme:
I wouldnt want to be explicit but Well I know that my parents were involved and copulation occurred and with the passing on of my fathers genes to my mom I was conceived.

Something I never asked for.

AnonyNymous:
Really dude? Really?

Iliveforme:
Of course a biological process brought me here.

Iliveforme:
I have gone through the links you sent. Though I tried to make meaning of a lot you said there but I am struggling to wrap my head around the concept of god or the concept of spirituality. I have never felt anything else besides from me. I see and observe from me and I just need to understand or perhaps you can make it simpler for me

dalaman:
Meaning of life is what you make of it Ogbeni.

FOLYKAZE:
You still don't get it. The verses you quote still doesn't negate the act of prostitution, not one of the verse is close to negation of the act. It rather speaks focus more immorality. Maybe you don't know, there is difference between immorality and sin. The later is a wrong against the divines while the former is wrong against social norms.

A quick example...it is wrong morally for a child to smoke cigarette. But that same stick of cigar can be lighten up by adult and smoked up. To an adult, it is morally and legally right to smoke. Anyways, smoking isn't a sin.

Another case is drug deal. It is morally wrong but not a sin.

Prostitution is a sexual immoral act which the bible at no point mention that it is a transgression away from the divine law. Jesus was silent when a prostitute washed her feet with her hair. Normally, the jew saw that the prostitute is into a immoral business and wanted him to rebuke her which Jesus rather remained silent.

If prostitution is wrong, God wouldn't have asked Amos to marry one.

FOLYKAZE:
There is nothing like mosaic law. The laws were directly from God himself. The tablet that has the 10 commandment was not written by moses, they were from God.

Maybe the law of God is flexible. Maybe the old laws are not valid today. But our pastors quote the same from the out dated mosaic law to furnish their tithe teaching.

FOLYKAZE:
Who were those christians who kill old women and little children emulate?

FOLYKAZE:
Which Christ lived a perfect life? Lol

Who creates hell fire?

CAPSLOCKED:

I PASSED THROUGH ALL THAT WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I GREW PASS THAT STAGE WHEN I REALIZED THERE WAS NOTHING WATCHING AND PROTECTING WE HUMANS. NO GODS NOR DEMONS. WE WILL ALL DIE SOMEDAY AND THERE'S NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO ESCAPE IT.

SO THREAD STARTER, INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT DYING, WORRY ABOUT LIVING, AND ACTUALLY "LIVE". SPEND EVERY MOMENT LIKE ITS YOUR LAST, ENJOY IT. DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN SO THAT WHEN YOU DIE, THOSE WHO'RE LEFT BEHIND WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT YOU.

I WISH I CAN UNREAD WHAT I READ 2 DAYS AGO, POSTED BY DALAMAN. HOW HIS FRIEND SURVIVED AN ACCIDENT BUT WITH SO MUCH PAIN THAT EVERYONE KEPT PRAYING HE SHOULD DIE.
I COULDN'T SLEEP THAT NIGHT. STILL FEELS BAD BUT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT LIVE IN THE MOMENT.


DON'T BE SCARED ABOUT HELL, OR YOUR ABSENCE ON EARTH. I'M SURE RELIGIONS HAS ADDED TO YOUR TORMENTS. YOUR PREACHERS CONSTANT REMINDER THAT YOU'RE DUST AND OTHER GIBBERISH NONSENSE THEY SAY TO TAKE PEOPLE'S FREEDOM AND MONEY.
YOU'LL THINK YOU'RE TOO IMPORTANT BUT MOMENTS AFTER YOU DIE PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT YOU, AND REPLACE YOU.

LISTEN TO MUSIC.
WATCH MOVIES.
PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
GO CLUBBING.
MASTURBATE.
DRINK A LOT OF ALCOHOL, AND FORNICATE HOW YOU WANT.
WATCH SPORTS, AND GO FOR ROAD WALKS. HIT THE GYM, AND AVOID FACEBOOK, IG AND WHATSAP FOR NOW.

DO WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY AND OCCUPIED.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE WASTED LIVING LIKE YOU'RE DEAD.

dalaman:
Meaning is what you make of it.

Martinez19:
it is one thing to say, it is one thing to do. I don't think they will do.

dalaman:
The erudite FOLYKAZE, always seems to know how to put everbody in his place.

FOLYKAZE:
Lol.

The bible verse you quote does not rebuke or say anything ill about prostitution.

Did you know only the prostitute in Jericho were spared when the city was destroyed? Did Amos not took unto himself a prostitute as instructed by God? You can please point to a place where prostitution is disallowed. Jesus was silent about it too.

FOLYKAZE:
The bible guided Christians to kill any witch they come across.

Exodus 22:18
Never let a witch live.

FOLYKAZE:
And some Christians all across the world, now in Nigeria, have been killing innocent women, poor men and little children whom are accused of been witch.

A pastor sometimes came onboard and said he had killed 110 children. This happened here in Nigeria some years ago. We have many cases of this in the west, outside Africa and even in the west. These people who killed are Christians, following the instruction in the Bible.

FOLYKAZE:
The general perception of boko haram is that they are Muslim terrorists, fighting jihad. This is truth because their struggle is founded on the teaching from the quran. And yes, they stood their ground with verses from the quran. Christians who kill innocent women and burn children alive are not exempted. They are Christians and their actions are backed with the Bible. This is fact.

FOLYKAZE:
Jesus will burn witch in hell fire. So Christians are doing the job here. Maybe that is their own form of christ-like

AnonyNymous:
You made a ridiculous observation, to be honest, because even with the analogy you failed to grasp the basic concept I explained to the op. Nobody goes on a journey without thinking of the destination, but when you're 'kidnapped' (nobody was born on earth of their own free will) and being taken somewhere you dont know, all you can do is hope for the best instead of worrying about where you're going, and do the best, statistically reasonable thing you could do to make your destination a pleasant one. And while at it, make the journey as comfortable as you can for yourself. I don't know why this is so hard for your mind to grasp, probably because its already infused with Christian teachings and is closed off from anything contrary.

This is the last time I'll be responding to you, because I wasn't interested in arguing with a Christian when I made my initial post, and you quoted me simply because you have this compulsive disorder that makes you want to make everyone agree with you.

FOLYKAZE:
The Bible didn't say prostitution is wrong. In many cases where prostitutes appears in the Bible, no where it is mentioned that it is wrong. Even God asked Amos to marry one. The lne in Jericho were spared. Another one washed Jesus feet with her hair. If these were wrong, the prostitute would have been rebuked.

Wouldn't Jesus born witched in hell?

And are you denying those Christians killing innocent children tagged witch not Christians? Whose teaching are they following?

AnonyNymous:
Lets assume we were placed on earth by some being. Clearly, it doesn't want us to know where we're coming from, and where we'll end up. And as the answer to both of those isn't certain, (you can only call it certain when you can prove it objectively) then there's no point being sad and confused about it, and instead focus on the journey.



This is the analogy I gave him, and I dont know how you picked that I believe life is 'meaningless', when it clearly shows that I believe it has whatever meaning you choose to give to it- which also makes me wonder how I'm 'projecting' my 'meaning of life' onto him. Like I said earlier, you're only concerned about attacking all non Christians, because in your own bubble, you can't fathom why anyone would think differently from you.

At the end of the post, with respect to whatever possible afterlife there could be, "good deeds" came out statistically as the best choice. You, however, choose Christianity because of environmental factors, and personal experiences, which are unverifiable pieces of 'evidence'. Good for you! But once again, not everyone has to think like you.

FOLYKAZE:
Bible is not against prostitution. We have many cases of where prostitutes were not punished for their act but were rather blessed. Jericho story and Amos comes to mind.

The case here is witch. Should Christians spare with witch? Are those Christians killing witches in the Eastern Nigeria not following the instruction in the Bible? Their argument was backed with the Bible. Are they not Christians?

AnonyNymous:
What's your problem, man?? You have your opinion and I have mine. Why do you feel compulsed to make me accept yours? Can't you just look and walk away? The op isnt even religious, for crying out loud. And I never said life was meaningless- but of course, you're so used to attacking anyone who isn't a Christian, that you assume all non Christians (and non Muslims) must be atheists with the same ideologies and opinion. Abeg shift jare

FOLYKAZE:
How come you ain't scared of those who killed innocent children accused of been witch? Afterall they were following the instruction of Yahweh

FOLYKAZE:
This is nothing but truth.

Many times, when I am thinking deep about my life, I always feel not fulfilling. The thought started when I was very young. I go to school, crave to pass and after passing, I will not be happy deep inside. Maybe it my upbringing, I am not used to hanging out with friends. I naturally shy alot, and fear easily creep into me.

I want to have some amount of money, fuucck some beautiful girls, do what other boys in the hood do but after all these, no fulfilment in me. The hole will still be there. Until when I married and have a son. I love talking with him, play games, sing and run around with him. Surprisingly, I want more of it. It seems my happiness is implanted in him. I just want to see him and crave to make him happy. For now, I enjoy it and want more.

Maybe OP should try new things. Something that would make him happy.

AnonyNymous:
You're still fixated on the destination. It might take some time but once you figure out that the journey is all that matters, you'll lose all these thoughts. Good luck!

MightySparrow:
Well, by His grace I hold an M. Sc in engineering from two prestigious nigerian universities. Is that close to science or a complete ignorance of science?

MightySparrow:
Believe science also as if there's no God!
