emk4lif: Or better still you copy the link and go to www.tuberku.com ,paste the url and forthwith downloadthere are many sites that can do the same thing. The advantage here is that you don't need to cram the address of any website and don't need to open any website before proceeding to paste there and bringing up a download link. Just adding "ss" does both for you in one straight step. It's the easiest way I've seen to go about it. 1 Like |
Religion / Re: Atheism Is Irrational. by Hemical: 4:41pm On Oct 08, 2013 |
Uyi Iredia:I want you to understand that "disbelieving" is a far greater set than believing and the point of disbelieving is like optimism (looking at the cup half-full) hoping you'll add a drop till I get to a level of belief. I can put down any reason for not believing. For example, I can tell you I have never experienced anything supernatural therefore, I can say God doesn't exist. You may not call that a "proof" and yes, I don't intend it as a proof but it's just my reason for not believing it. The believer on the other hand feels he has a tangible reason to believe it and should make me see it. Refuting your argument isn't always because I already hold a fixed point in disbelief. I can always refute your argument if it lacks merit or is flawed. That doesn't mean I'm maintaining a non-existent position but like an electron in a ground state, you haven't successfully imparted enough energy to excite me to a new orbital. More often that not, refutations are made not because of obstinacy but because of a non-persuasive, untenable, flawed and unreasonable sense of logic. I believe there should be a "reason" for the falsity of a statement, that's all that is required and not necessarily "proof" like you put it. But for †ђξ believer on the other hand, believing means you have enough proof. To start with, I am giving you one reason. I have never seen anything supernatural before, and I have also not heard of anything supernatural before that I can't think of physical ways it could have occurred, therefore, I don't believe in anything supernatural, which is ultimately like not believing in God. This could be anti-logical but it's all that is needed when you are in a "disbelieving" position. It's far from proof, but is sufficient in that position. A believer on the other hand, has enough evidence and proof. That's why I think the believer is in a better position to exhibit his proofs rather than mere reasons needed for the unbeliever to verify the truth of a statement |

I think y'all just do this for opinion and argument sake. Deal with the topic from the very foundation. What do you mean by rationality and irrationality? Personally, I think the first step towards being rational is "disbelief" which is what I think atheists do. If you think "belief" or "believing" which is at the other end of the spectrum is rationality to you, then, you are missing the whole point. To be rational, you have to doubt, then through reason and logic, you get to examine facts and come to a conclusion. Whatever the case is, I still think "disbelief" is a more rational stand than "blind faith" or "belief" without reason. "Disbelief" is the most important step towards rationality. You can't say atheists are irrational. I think they are willing to see reasons with you if you can prove beyond reasonable doubt. Except of course, atheism is now dogmatic, which I doubt it is. The onus falls with the believer to convince the unbeliever and not the other way round. If I don't believe, and you do, I am not to prove that what you believe in is non-existent. Rather, you should prove to me it does based on something I most definitely can't refute be it empirical, experimental or unflawed logic that you are convinced of. I haven't seen any believer do this before. If you believe in it, tell me why I should believe in it. Show me a reason I can confirm, share an experience I can test under controlled conditions and cannot be logically explained with any physical phenomenon. That's the way it should be. And like I started with, rationality starts with disbelief, and it moves along that line.... I think atheists are rational in that sense. Belief is the last stage in that process and if you jump on it without first disbelieving, then, you are the irrational one. 2 Likes |

I have seen christians shout their own God, I have seen Allahu Akbar, I have seen Odeshi, I have seen thick forests of Ogun state, some are even saying Jazz but can't point to any particular god. I think this is the right time for the god who saved him to come down and claim his glory before people start claiming the miracles for their own god. I will be waiting for that god to comment. Let the right god claim his own miracle 1 Like |
