Like I said it is the result of natural processes, there is no reason other than that. Naturals processes as far as we know are not direcyed what they achieve, they simply occur according to the physical laws of nature.

The universe is just another group of ageless indivisible objects that just exist.

In the Back? shocked Never!

in their faces, shall I cut down ALL who hath pleasure in wickedness, doers of wicked and evil things, Liars, Deceivers and Unrighteous persons!

For The Law is on the Doing of Good and the Killing of All Evil to wit-

He that pursueth evil, pursueth it to his own death

The Soul that Sinneth Shall (and Must) Die!.

the face of the LORD (Law'd) is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth

I am in business of dealing with bad choices and wickedness.

Following a wicked person to commit an offence is and may be bad choice for the Follower But The Doer of the Offence intended to do the offence.

Let me give you a real case.

A driver used his ogas vehicle for kabu-Kabu (cab) and picked up persons whose destination was a store which they robbed and used him for a getaway vehicle.

Surely the robbers are guilty for robbery while the driver is guilty of "bad choice of Association"!

See the kind of evil mind you have? If you were the robbed would you Truly tell them "bye-bye, come again next time or wish them dead?.We already know the True Answer so no bother.

Evil has been done to the robbed here

Now, they were caught and the driver said that he was not a member of the gang so he should not be guilty of Armed robbery.

Now evil has also been done to the driver, who one of the robbers later admitted and confessed that the dr9 was Truly not part of their gang!

Sorry Dt, but you really do know nothing about the History of Law,

Yet I have presented it and you are unable to shake it, not to talk of even finding a fault as a result of your testing! grin

..because no credible teaching will inform you that laws were made by Gods

Ever since I discovered many things Contained in Many a Law books which lawyers ought to have been taught but were concealed, I always go digging to uncover and discover all and what things are hidden from my sight!

budaatum:

despite that being what the masses the laws are imposed on are made to believe. And if you do not know something as simple as that which you ought to have learnt as part of your legal education, then I can't exactly pressume you'd know anything at all, especially since your fruits do not even at all match your words.

grin Attacking the man rather than the assertion IS NO REASONABLE REBUTTAL! And clearly, you have searched on how to reasonably rebut but alas, you find none! grin

Watch Out Pelecius, the guy you are talking to is Truly a Snake as The Original LortReed in Game of Thrones, He Is A Satanist and A Hater of God not an atheist.

He is Nairaland's Satan come to devour and swallow up the souls of foolish people who taught they were wise eg CAPSLOCKED, Budaatum, even Muttleylaff at a point and many others who no longer speak on nairaland.

He fled from Religion Section were his work has been destroyed to come over here to catch foolish souls who do not know The Truth and Law of Life and Death but think they do.

You would be well advised to stay of from him for sake of yourself and your soul, if you love yourself.

He is very very knowledgeable and very intelligent,Twisty and Beautifully Winding with words and spirit (evil spirit that is, and if you do not know spirits already, you are dead prey already), as A Snake,

He would swallow you up (as one) if you do not take counsel and stay away from him,.

He is only reasonable when he can beat you, but grounded lying and cheating is always in his hand to use when and where necessary, and he accurately uses it too.

If you do not hold your life, he will eat you up as he has done others here that's what he is here in this Section for!

You already know the popular warning "Fly wey no dey hear word"


I sincerely appreciate your concern and love. To a small extent, I'm a battle scared fellow in this type of worldview war. And my aim is not to win (as that's the work of the Holy Spirit), but to ensure that others are not taken away when there seem not to be an answer for the reason of the hope we have in us (1 Peter 3:15)

He is one of the reasons why I joined Nairaland for I prefer face to face engagement so I did not know about nairaland till I saw my colleagues using it for their cars and other problems, only for me to go round up to Religion Section then I saw his damage and slaughter there.

And I saw people who had earlier resisted him, Fall!

So I jumped in and I live to spoil all his wicked works and prevent him from swallowing up any unwatchful soul!

He is Satan in the flesh. If a person wants to see Satan, all they need is to see him and read his posts!

I already answered this by saying:



Every conscious and intelligent being, at least at level of human consciousness, is the determinant of their morality. Communal morality is determined by consensus, directly or indirectly by all that are involved in that community.

I have already laid out succinctly how I arrive at my moral framework and it is consistent with my worldview which includes my lack of belief in a god or gods.
It's still me, I'll discuss with this moniker

I intentionally asked you to answer within your worldview because I know that there's no such concept of good, bad, or human well being in an atheistic/materialism worldview.
I'll start with some generics of such worldview:
1. No purpose, no meaning - nothing matters
2. There's nothing out there other than matter and energy
3. Humans are not different from other animals since they are the current product of evolution from other animals over eons of time

Now, with those above, why would you care about human well being? Would you care if a cat catches and eat a rat? For 'generic 3' to be consistent, why should anyone care if one human (an animal in such worldview) destroys another human (animal)?.

You said every intelligent and conscious being...
Again, in such worldview of nothing except matter and energy, where and how did consciousness emerge?

If every human is a determinant of their morality, then what constitutes morality to human A may not go along with human B.

If we can't settle with individual morality yet, then communal morality may be begging the question.

So brother, your worldview is not just about a disbelief in the existence of God (as against the desperate new definition of "lack of belief". I have explained to many on this forum how even the american atheist website could not be consistent with such definition in even one article), it explains various concepts (with the presupposition of no God anyway), such as THE REASON why there is no reason for us to be here (funny right?), how we came to be, why we should not expect anything after death and so many concepts which it accuses theists of figment of their imagination.
So, it's not just about the existence of God

First off you started with false premises. There is no such thing as Atheist worldview. There are worldviews that accommodate atheism not the other way around. Also you are under a misapprehension to say atheism means there is no purpose or meaning, not all atheists are nihilists. Finally reorient yourself when discussing with me, do not use blanket statements to address me, if you require my view on a matter ask me I will tell you. Do not assume my position on issues simply because I bear the label atheist.

With that said I'll wait for you to restructure your post accordingly or else we can stop discussing. Thanks.

Like you said, I joined because I see how wannabe atheists misuse the word "science" in contrasting science from religion. And I notice that many Christian folks are not thoroughly informed in such war of worldviews, hence they resort to ill informed arguments. This in turn raises the suspicion that the atheists were right all along when they are actually wrong in many cases and their use of logical fallacies and intentional deception, with few folks (such as Grandmeister, Image, Papparseventy. etc) to expose such tactics.

Keep up the good fight as you put 2 Cor 10: 4 in to action.

Sorry, but I can't myself see how you can know this especially because its untrue.

I'm sure atheists know that stealing is not good since they'd obviously resent being stolen from or be thrown in jail if they steal, and there are atheist doctors who specifically earn a living from selling human well being.

Are you not imposing your own worldview here keppler then claiming it belongs to someone else, like an atheist for instance?
