JackBizzle: Lmao . The perfect indomie is not flawed ! The nature of the indomie is what is perfect about it . The Logic boy eehhhhhhhhh ! ! ! |

JackBizzle: He made a PERFECT score that's the point . You are talking about his behavior . I didnt say he is a perfect student . HE MADE A PERFECT SCORE |

KingEbukasBlog: So, the perfect indomie is not flawed but -most Nigerians do not eat it -it is not time efficient ==================== This is truly the point of the omnipotence paradox and the failure of God's perfection- perfection in one aspect can usually cause imperfection in another aspect. Being "all perfect" is impossible. |

![]() You see these words: -Omnipresent -Omniscient -Omnipotent -Perfection, I don't technically consider them as actual words much less a paradox ![]() |

@JackBizzle and dblackninja You are wrong by claiming that something that is perfect has a flaw . |

KingEbukasBlog:Well what you have to know is that a truly perfect thing can't change, erm, but it also have to change to always maintain it's perfection at any particular point--showing imperfection. (I don't even know whether am still making sense cause my brain is already saturated ![]() Your 5.0 cgp have to always remain 5.0 to be perfect..if the curriculum changes it to 10.0 cgp tomorrow and someone scores 5.0 hmm I wonder what happens. |

Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by JackBizzle: 10:14am On May 07, 2016 |
KingEbukasBlog: This is quite ironic seeing how you pull phrases like "God's perfect nature" out of your azz. How do you know that God is perfect? Even your own God says that he is a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me?? Why?? God can't bare the fact that some people prefer Zeus and Buddha? However, that is besides the point. The fact remains that it is logically impossible to defend or even imagine something that is "all-perfect". Such a thing cannot exist. Perfection in one area usually means imperfection in another area as we have demonstrated here. If someone is perfectly good, that means that he cannot do a lesser evil in order to stop a bigger evil. For instance, you're in the north as a christian and there are boko haram terrorists going around killing christians. Unfortunately, a boko haram member gets lost and finds his way to your hideout. You hear him cursing christians and infidels, and by chance, he sees you guys hiding through your window. He brings out his phone to call his other members........ .....the right thing to do is to kill him or at least, knock him unconscious. However, he will fight to the death, so killing is the most likely action. Would a perfectly moral person kill him? No, the perfectly moral person would either try to reason with the terrorist or run. Both of which will get the perfectly moral person killed 1 Like |

JackBizzle:I think Perfection can only be a flaw to the imperfect and we can never decide what is morally good from the morally inferior. I think you are wrong. |

Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by hahn(m): 10:41am On May 07, 2016 |
JackBizzle: Your comment is more of a probability than a possibility. Personally, I feel it is the other way round. Imperfection is a sign of perfection |
Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by JackBizzle: 10:42am On May 07, 2016 |
urahara: Well, I received a lot of unfair abuse and bans during my evangelical days. Nairaland was not always fair to atheists then. And I was not perfect myself- I used anger to react to the bias and then, the biased people use the anger as a retroactive justification for the ban. I was even betrayed by one of my disciples. So yeah. I just do the little I can these days. |
Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by JackBizzle: 10:46am On May 07, 2016 |
hahn: Its a common phrase and yet, not true. Imperfection can never be a sign of perfection because you already know that it is a flaw and not perfect. but perfection on the other hand, is never enough. There is always better. |
Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by hahn(m): 10:50am On May 07, 2016 |
JackBizzle: Well, we as humans keep seeking for perfection but have never found it. I think that is perfection in itself. On a flip side, perfection can never exist because it will always be improved upon. What might seem perfect today will eventually become archaic tomorrow. We just said the same thing. Lol |
Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by JackBizzle: 10:56am On May 07, 2016 |
Reyginus: Your comment only proves my point further. If we are imperfect beings, how good is perfection to us? Wouldn't we as imperfect beings desire for imperfect things due to our imperfect nature? We would see perfection and it wouldn't satisfy us. We would see it as inadequate to our nature. Perfection for humans will be a flawed concept since we are imperfect by nature. Just like the perfect indomie, we love cooking it the imperfect way (different from the instructions on the pack) because of time and resources. Have you ever measured the water with proper utensils before cooking indomie? Do you use all the sauce when cooking 4 or more packs of indomie? Given that we are imperfect, how are we to understand a perfect God. How is he supposed to make sense to us when we can't relate to him? Human morality is not perfectly black and white (good vs bad), it is sometimes grey, in which there is no correct answer. How are we then going to live with the perfect morality a God supposedly gave us through holy books? |
Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by JackBizzle: 10:58am On May 07, 2016 |
hahn: I see your point now. Sorry, I thought you were saying something different before. |

Reyginus: 1) By what standards are you perfect in song writing? 2) Well, you couldn't compose harmonic cacophony. 3) You couldn't compose what a high on weed or cocaine can compose. Some people do some random mixes/remixes (mashups) of different and it works sometimes. It is not something you can sit down and write. It comes by mistake or trial and error. Take for instance, some guys started saying "mmbop.....mmbop" and it became the chorus of a great song. It is not something they wrote. It just came randomly and they realised that it sounded good. Here are the lyrics of the chorus of the song- -mmbop..pa-pa...mmbop......heyi.ye..i..ye.....mmbop. What about the popular scatman song? "Pirapaparopo....I'm the scatman" |

hahn: ![]() This requires a great deal of critical thinking to understand not our primary school definition of perfection. That's my problem with the 4 words I mentioned above. 1 Like 1 Share |

JackBizzle:Can you add anything to perfect again? Is the song different because he's high on weed or the quality of a song written when high? Absolutely the quality. And we have a Perfect Song Writer so he'd definitely write it. So, try again, what type of song can a Perfect Song Writer not write? |
