Do you as an Atheist ever consider yourself as having committed a sin/sins?

From an Atheist perspective, what is a sin. If you have committed a sin, how do you repent, what do you do after it?

Is there a need to repent? If you do something to someone, I can understand the feeling to feel sorry for what you have done, but what about when you do something which is wrong but doesn't affect anyone but you?

Is there a concept of sin and repentance in Atheism?

Omo Alata:

But doesn't the deceased need an Imam/Pastor to pray over it?

Pray for what? To ask God to forgive the dead and let them into his kingdom....that will be laughable if the case as one can sin as he likes only to be prayed on at dead letting him sneak into God's kingdom..Its pretty useless...We Live,Learn and Die so if someone does die let a professional undertaker do his job..

Sam Milla: Its future is already in the past.

No, Many are embracing african traditional religion and i am sure that with their current evolution they will flourish in decades to come...It is Christianity and Islam that are certainly endangered..

Tinyemeka:

I quoted your earlier post. You were saying Adamawa is not core-North. I don't understand what you meant by that.

Well how do you diffrence North-Eastern Adamawa with North Central/West states...Adamawa is NOT core north due to its geographical and ethnic setup.

Penaldo and Pedro..1-1

mukina2: busquets the diver!!!!

fredoooooo:


better player , you no see say he don shave the bears

that na iron-filling no be bia bia

seunfly: I don't realy belive this report as my little tour to north eastern state adamawa is the most develop. I wonder if the speaker and the poster has been to Yobe, jigawa, taraba, kebbi, zamfara even gombe and bauchi can not match the state interm of infracstructures and industries. However adamawa just like all northern state can do far better than they are doing now as they are performing below thier capacity and potential, i can boost that one northern state can feed the whole of Nigeria if thier government is serious. Oh b4 u hala at me am not 4rm north or adamawa, i am Oluwaseun Afolabi a Nigerian.

Thanks for the insight..the research is fake

Tinyemeka:

Adamawa is geographically located in Northern-Eastern Nigeria na.
Perhaps what you mean is Hausa?

Hausa?

all4naija: Okay! I thought it was that state the beard Islamist slowpoke came from. However, which state first adopted Sharia law in northern part of Nigeria?

Zamfara

Tinyemeka: I doubt the veracity of that report. I believe Adamawa has higher human and capital development indices than Yobe, Taraba, Zamfara and possibly Jigawa states.

Mubi should even be more developed than Zamfara in my opinion.

Very True..

Mr Man wats biting you? im a southerner living in the north and saying the facts..

all4naija: It is the first state to implement Sharia law in Northern Nigeria. Still thinking about how that has moved the state forward. State made up of silly leaders !

Sharia? Not Adamawa..

2ru-talk:


wake up from slumber. So you had expected him (Atiku) to allow his boys bomb his own state?

We are talking about the state governor

plaetton: [/b]

Even tougher questions.

I dont know if "set in stone" is the right word.
Lets just say hardwired, receptive to certain impulses and rejection or indifferent to others.

Care to expanciate?

geogina1234: so what did you want us to do, fulani question

Can't you read and pass without exhibiting stupidity?

tomakint:

As far as I am concerned nothing good can come from that God-forsaken place called Core-North. Just look at the way they behave and check out that religion and the numbers of countries they have populated and see if there is any meaningful development in there. These are my observations on the Core North so far;

I will like to be specific now, just follow me;

1) About 30% of the Core North are disabled beggars;
2) About 10% of the Core North are able-bodied beggars (Almajiris);
3) About 15% of the Core North are graduates (be it BSC, Masters and PhD holders);
4) About 30% of the Core North are gainfully employed (despite having a mere 15% who are graduates, making the remaining 15% ghost workers);
5) About 10% of the Core North are self-employed (starting from your mai-suya, mai-tea, ram sellers, money-changers, traders etc);
6) While the remaining 5% of the Core North consists of the following (your elders, those few elite class controlling your destinies, the unknown several business men, your few second Royal Fathers and those politicians)

Now tell me what is GOOD about your CORE NORTH?
I am waiting…………………..

N.B: When I say CORE NORTH I mean the following states; Adamawa (North), Bauchi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna (North), Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger (North), Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara.

You are very very wrong and you exhibit and proliferate very poor knowledge of Northern Nigeria...1st and foremost, 70% of Northern Adults are into trading although sometimes coupled with crime and bad habits.. Adamawa is not core north...Northern Adamawa is a place of many tribes (Bura,Chamba,Song,Kilba etc) and has nothing whatsoever to do with all the lies you just posted...

If you don't know come and see...

WORD

pat077: the only investment he has in d state are his buildings which has no impact on d peoples live. The only industry in d state is savahna sugar.

What of Faro? Faro Industries is one of the finest fruit juice in the country that are dispensed at 104c (standard)

Well although many won't admit it so many atheists on here are actually agnostics so i will like to throw this question out to everyone...What are the features/characteristics/nature/personality you are looking out for in a God?

ayox2003:

Nothing bro.

Just fatigue or maybe "repetition".



Frawzey

No waya sha...

eldee: Shshshshhhhhh...anyone hear that?
Yep, that's the sound of Chamotex not posting because he got trashed by the minnow he bullied throughout pre-season.
It's funny how he was running commentary before the matches started and now he's disappeared from the thread. . . otu oshi.

At least if you're going to claim to be Barca, don't lose to Reading.

HNosegbe:

Yeah... At least according to pDude.

Yeah thats kinda true

achi4u: He's a formal v.p who refuses to look back and develop his poor state.Are you okay now?

On what grounds are you basing your facts?

Atiku's Investments in Adamawa --

1. AUN University - Foremost american university in Nigeria (Employer of Labour)

2. Faro Water and Juice - Nationwide Fruit Drink (Employer of Labour)

3. Major Investments into cheap and affordable real estate for citizens of the state..


etc etc etc

The man can do better but currently he is the largest employer of labour in the state bar state government so what should he do?

juman:

I also don't think the assessment was right, but I don't think Gov. Murtala Nyako is doing good job.

He suppose to see himself as an elder governor not just a mere governor.

The man is certainly not doing well at all but he is doing something very important than people dont notice Yola is closest to Borno and Yobe to the east but we are yet to here of any Boko Haram Insurgence as he has been handling that well due to his military experience but for other sectors he is a TOTAL failure..

ndu_chucks: I don't see the wisdom of itemizing, what should otherwise be, the regular job of the President, as major achievements. Major achievements should be acts which go beyond the call of duty and which are performed with great distinction.

Sir, to date, this President is worse than a mediocre President. I'm afraid he is too dumb to rule Nigeria successfully - I hope I am wrong.

I have no choice than to fully agree with ndu...this are acts that are expected and not something major and as duly pointed out earlier in the thread he has failed to fulfill his promises....I am disappointed that people are hailing common stuff as achievements...I fail to see any real achievements as he is just trying to keep his promises and till now he is failing..

achi4u: What is Atiku saying about this?

is Atiku the governor? This Research is greatly flawed as even Yobe can compete with Adamawa in development...
