LordReed: You only don't know what may happen after death. The similarities between you and those city people is that: 1. You both have not taken the journey before. 2. You both don't have anyone who has gone there and returned. 3. You both don't know what to expect on that journey. 4. You both are hearing rumours about what may be encountered on that journey. |

HisSplendor: Except the rumors are by people who also have not taken the journey before in our case so we are all staring at an UNKNOWN. You believe the rumors, I don't. |

HisSplendor: Except as far as we know death is the end so even if I say we shall see, it's practically meaningless. I choose to focus on my life now, not dreaming of what will come after I die, when it's not something I can even know. |

HisSplendor: Interesting story which anyone can learn from, but unfortunately you have misapplied it . You have simply ignored the fact that the story is set in a physical location and that the men were journeying to another part of it that's expected to exist even if they have never been there before. This is unlike your imaginary non physical heaven which even you yourself doubt exist. Since the 100 men were embarking on a journey to another physical location they expect should exist, the men who bought a cap to save their heads incase the rumor turned out to be true acted wisely. But in a situation where somebody advise another to buy a life jacket and wear it to bed to save their life incase they have a dream of drowning and the advice is heeded to, then both the person who gave the advice and the person who obeyed it ,have acted unwisely and need their heads examined. This is exactly how you have misapplied the story. Heaven is imaginary or is created by the imagination of those who believe in it. It's not a known physical space that exist somewhere. Even if we accept it exist somehow in a non physical location, there's no single verified story of anyone who has gone there and back to convince everyone that such a place exist. 2 Likes |

When there is no problem and the problem is not about money,atheism seems to come to bear but when there is wahala that is choking throat, then God comes to bear. Besides, what message do you want to preach to an uncertain atheist who does not exist. 1 Like |

triplechoice: Thanks for your submission. Would you orove to me right now that heaven is imaginary as you stated above? |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by triplechoice(m): 12:30pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
HisSplendor: What is the meaning of the word imaginary? Try to know the meaning first before asking for prove |

Indeed there's folly in atheism. |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by Dtruthspeaker: 1:32pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
LordReed: Now you lie for analogies are the use of practical things. |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by Dtruthspeaker: 1:38pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
LordReed: Or you know and you already know if the parameters of qualifying to either destinations are applied, you would not be arriving at the good destination. So, there is no need to ponder about it, exactly like an olodo can not be pondering about University and youth service and being a graduate, he knows already that he cannot pass jamb, so no need. |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by LordReed(m): 1:40pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
Dtruthspeaker: I don't need to lie like you do for your god and religion. Produce a dictionary definition of analogy that agrees with your assertion. |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by Maynman: 1:44pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
God2man2again: Which of the gods will atheist run to when there’s problem? Yahweh or allah or brahma? Or the other hundreds of gods? |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by Dtruthspeaker: 2:11pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
triplechoice: He did not missaply it, the story is designed to catch people like you. |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by Dtruthspeaker: 2:29pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
LordReed: The meaning of analogy already tells you that it is doing the same thing a dictionary is doing which is to explain things. |
Re: The Folly In Atheism by LordReed(m): 2:44pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
Dtruthspeaker: I said produce the dictionary meaning that says so, not interested in stories. 1 Like |
