I don't believe or worship anything. By the way, why didn't you believe other religions like muslim, Buddhism with faith but you choose to pick only one (Christianity) and Started believing it with faith either because you were born into it.

Faith is gullibility and only a fool can believe something without rational judgement. Is like if a yahoo-yahoo boy call your mobile line, telling you to pay a hundred thousand naira in his account in order to get 1 million naira tomorrow, would you rather have faith in him and pay-in such money in order to get 2million tomorrow or choose to doubt him and use your brain to notice he is a scammer.

The word faith is deception. Why is it that when it come to religion cum Christianity, you choose to apply faith but in others of your daily dealings, you will apply reasoning instead of faith?

Well it is not pathetic cos i have a superior reason to believe in God which is what you cannot see. Sad, it is only God that can relieve you of this damning blindness.

I only looked at how useless your religion is in a different light. It is sensible to fight for a course that is productive and so far we have seen nothing from it, only attacks upon attacks on other religions and an an attempt to create another (false) basis for determining truth.

The love i have for God is the reason i obey Him, not His wrath/reward. I do not seek for any pay from my Lord but only to thank Him for all He has done. I obey joyfully.

This would have been reasonable, if you were not disputing the harmless truth , including reason and asking men to think with their heads in between their thighs.

6: The physical causes of everything we think of as the soul.

The sciences of neurology and neuropsychology are in their infancy. But they are advancing by astonishing leaps and bounds, even as we speak. And what they are finding — consistently, thoroughly, across the board — is that, whatever consciousness is, it is inextricably linked to the brain.

Everything we think of as the soul — consciousness, identity, character, free will — all of that is powerfully affected by physical changes to the brain and body. Changes in the brain result in changes in consciousness… sometimes so drastically, they make a personality unrecognizable. Changes in consciousness can be seen, with magnetic resonance imagery, as changes in the brain. Illness, injury, drugs and medicines, sleep deprivation, etc…. all of these can make changes to the supposed “soul,” both subtle and dramatic. And death, of course, is a physical change that renders a person’s personality and character, not only unrecognizable, but non-existent.

So the obvious conclusion is that consciousness and identity, character and free will, are products of the brain and the body. They’re biological processes, governed by laws of physical cause and effect. With any other phenomenon, if we can show that physical forces and actions produce observable effects, we think of that as a physical phenomenon. Why should the “soul” be any different?

What’s more, the evidence supporting this conclusion comes from rigorously-gathered, carefully-tested, thoroughly cross-checked, double-blinded, placebo- controlled, replicated, peer-reviewed research. The evidence has been gathered, and continues to be gathered, using the gold standard of scientific evidence: methods specifically designed to filter out biases and cognitive errors as much as humanly possible. And it’s not just a little research. It’s an enormous mountain of research… a mountain that’s growing more mountainous every day.
The hypothesis of the soul, on the other hand, has not once in all of human history been supported by good, solid scientific evidence. That’s pretty surprising when you think about it. For decades, and indeed centuries, most scientists had some sort of religious beliefs, and most of them believed in the soul. So a great deal of early science was dedicated to proving the soul’s existence, and discovering and exploring its nature. It wasn’t until after decades upon decades of fruitless research in this area that scientists finally gave it up as a bad job, and concluded, almost unanimously, that the reason they hadn’t found a soul was that there was no such thing.

Are there unanswered questions about consciousness? Absolutely. Tons of them. No reputable neurologist or neuropsychologist would say otherwise. But think again about how the history of human knowledge is the history of supernatural explanations being replaced by natural ones… with relentless consistency, again, and again, and again. There hasn’t been a single exception to this pattern. Why would we assume that the soul is going to be that exception? Why would we assume that this gap in our knowledge, alone among all the others, is eventually going to be filled with a supernatural explanation? The historical pattern doesn’t support it. And the evidence doesn’t support it. The increasingly clear conclusion of the science is that consciousness is a product of the brain. Period.

Stephendamsoho, According to the Law of logic, it is not reasonable to believe that there is God. However, if you say that He does not exist, if you then die and you finally discover that He exists, know that He will subject you to terrible judgment.

Take note and keep that in mind.

Esdb3:


So you are a God now? Buhahaha . So your dad is satan or who is satan?

Esdb3:


In Dan Brown novels? Damn this one is plain ignorant. [size=15pt]So how do you explain the many random people making signs with their fingers? [/size]

[b]And you think the above hypothesis better explain the "Near Death Experiences" (NDE) phenomenon experienced by millions of people overtime and some who were certified medically dead as examined by a medical practitioner Who upon being resuscitated testify of occurrence at the hospital and surrounding as at the time they were presumed dead of which scientifically could not have been possible

Why did science made provision for metaphysics as a branch of science, and obliged to make findings on metaphysics, I believe that's because they saw possibilities.
Testimonies of millions of NDE'ers from different part of the world and all works of life, even among atheists and critics who were fortunate to have had first hand experience of NDE came back changed with the belief that there's indeed life after death.
I do agree with most of your view about religion, but I only beg to disagree on this.
There's more to life than science have covered already.

I advice you be more open to knowledge and possibilities, probably so you don't get shocked by your personal experience and findings on metaphysical phenomenon.

It's real mehn! [/b]

Just a question

If tomorrow; Scientists are able to explain all these things SATISFACTORILY to you; would you agree that God does not exist?

If yes; then wait and see as science has grown leaps and bounds since the beginning of time

If NO; Then.................

In case you missed the last paragraph Read Again

But think again about how the history of human knowledge is the history of supernatural explanations being replaced by natural ones… with relentless consistency, again, and again, and again.

There hasn’t been a single exception to this pattern.

Why would we assume that the soul is going to be that exception? Why would we assume that this gap in our knowledge, alone among all the others, is eventually going to be filled with a supernatural explanation? The historical pattern doesn’t support it. And the evidence doesn’t support it.

joe4christ:


But you'll have to agree with me that there are various strange phenomenon science still could not rationalize. And there are also lots of cover ups even in science, i.e any finding that contradict their already established theories and hypothesis. E.g the discovery of evidence relating to ancient civilization that once had their settlement in the Moon by Nasa. The documents and footage were hidden for decades not until hackers did what they good at. This is just one out of many, call it conspiracy theory, well you make your findings!

stephendamsoho:


Can you tell me what coverup has to do with the topic at hand?

We never said Scientists are perfect

But without them we'll not be having this discussion at all

at least not through this medium

joe4christ:


I can authoritatively tell you that science still got a lot to find out on metaphysics,

Weah96:


Ask them to spell ILLUMINATI that way you can find out if they even know how READ.

Satan is YOUR God. You should know his identity well.

In physics, time is a quantum dimension.
Time and speed are relative. . . Its a simple beautiful scientific discovery fully represented in the small but complex mathematical equation E=MC²
And it takes a very big intellectually deranged individual to think that there is a house in the sky where snow is stored.

Snows form in an atmosphere where the temperature drops to or below 0°C and the crystalline droplet accumulates water droplets from the atmosphere before dropping and hitting the ground.

You still holding on to the ancient belief that snow has a store house in the sky, actually you are completely disgrace the very intellect of 21st century homo sapiens. . . Tell us now who the fool is

Esdb3:


Wait so God doesn't exist but Satan does?

wait a minute, that guy believed that there is a store house for snow?!!!!!!! choi see stupidity.. no wonder the skydaddy belief.....

What do these people have to do with the Illuminati? Hip hop artists only started saying the thing after Dan Brown released the Da Vinci Code and later, Angels and Demons. Tom Hanks played Robert Langdon in both Hollywood adaptations of the novels.

Don't be foolish, it's a more of a cultural meme than anything. People like to know that their suffering is caused by others, and not their own laziness.

Weah96:


Are you mad? I AM GOD or should I write it in a language you understand better? The person you call God is really Satan.

Esdb3:


God - /ɡäd/
noun
1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic
religions) the creator and ruler of the universe
and source of all moral authority; the supreme
being.
2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman
being or spirit worshiped as having power over
nature or human fortunes; a deity.
3. an adored, admired, or influential person.
4. the gallery in a theater.


Which are you maniac?

Weah96:

3.

Esdb3:


What is this one spewing about?!

So a group adam weistraup created in the 1700s is a story book? So angels and demons and da vinci code was so famous that presidents and hip hop artistes will just start making the same signs?

Who dafuq cares about Dan Brown? If his book was the sole reason for this 'cultural meme' you keep ranting on, why is he not honoured in songs and movies? How many times has any artistes mentioned some bleeped up dan brown?!

You are just dumb! So the illuminati is a cultural meme?! See I know where you fit in the society now, I used to think this people were smart and have a say till I knew better. You are just another debt slave, an experiment of mind control and severed reasoning.


Bye Felicia!

Esdb3:


See how dumb you are!

You just said you were 1 and that 1 is satan. Men y'all athei biachezzz dumb!

Weah96:


I said that I am God, and your Christian God is Satan. Are you confused? You never asked for my attributes.

Weah96:


There is no Illuminati. If market women and okada drivers can organize for a common cause, people with money and power will organize for a cause too. It's the unconscious nature of human existence. Even you have joined a cult called Christians or whatever. The enemy is human greed and selfishness, not Illuminati.

Esdb3:


What is NWO?

Please don't just use your smartphone to show you are a schmuck please use it to enlighten yourself a bit.

Google illuminati.

Weah96:


NWO stands for new world order. It's an acronym which invokes a political idea as the world becomes increasingly globalized. Somethings have to change, business policies, security details, international agreements, etc.
You think it means that demon people are taking over to write 666 on your foreheads.

Get with the program. Time is speeding up and life on earth must adapt.
