But u rate the albino Paul Scholes, a one club man that was backed by world class talents and a billionaire club.

And u say it's not sentiment.. Lol

Comot dia. Messi in the 1990s would be superhuman. Players don't have space to play now like then and Messi is still a God in this day of constricted space

This is true but what differentiates these kinds of people and the average Nigerian? Table a topic about the latest developments in Medicine and they'd talk about how humans are attempting to play god and god might get angry with us. I want to believe you see the problem here

I may not be able to explain this but I can argue with cogent points how it enforces these bad things

Happy birthday to me.

I don't think I understand what you're driving at

I can argue that your excuses are just a lazy way of running away from real issues and looking to put the blame on perceived easy targets

But your Jesus apparently had no problem with slavery. the guy even said slaves should keep obeying their masters in fear and trembling lol

Godx:

Now you have resulted to plain lying. Please stop speaking on things you know nothing about.

There is a difference between someone who's able to separate his beliefs from his duty and someone who tries hard to mix both. a scientist worth his salt should be able to dump whatever religion he believes in as soon as he wants to carry out his research.

hopefulLandlord:


Please do

hopefulLandlord:


Yep, that was a trap! because the guy who said that is regarded by apologists as someone who opposes slavery just because he said a slave who ran away should go back to his master while urging the master to set him free. so would you be so kind to tell me where the Bible wether old and new condemned slavery? because I could quote a lot of verses where it's endorsed and encouraged

eph12:

You're still talking in parables. There are millions of very successful people who haven't denied their religions. They didn't blame religion for their lack of success during the struggling days.

We can only move forward if everyone learns to respect every one irrespective of whatever they believe in or not

Why is the atheist criticizing their Allah? Why not let them be?

hopefulLandlord:

I'm not saying they "should" deny it, I'm saying good scientists would drop their religion when it comes to duty. an evolutionary biologist who keeps assuming some god in his research should be seen as an idiot. go to church, mosque or shrine BUT when it's time to face your own duty you drop those right at the door

Hope you won't keep lying. As far as we know, the "slavery" of ancient Israel was primarily debt slavery and corvee labor. The Bible didn't endorsed it but set out guidelines on how they were to be followed.

hopefulLandlord:


would you be so kind to explain why criticising Allah is same as disrespecting those that believe in Allah?

eph12:

Lmao! Please do what? I only copied your sentence and modified it. Maybe you should do first

izzou:


The argument has been laid to rest.

I don't have the strength to start explaining, if you can't read contextually.

The person I quoted understood me perfectly. That's enough

Unlimited22:
Happy birthday to me.

hopefulLandlord:


that's fair enough but I see criticising a belief and a believer to be two different things that shouldn't be confused as the same.

Unlimited22:
Happy birthday to me.

hopefulLandlord:

I'd like you to go first since you already assumed whatever point I can possibly make would be a lazyman's way of running away from real issues

Exodus 12:43-45 (NRSV)
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: This is the ordinance for the passover: no foreigner shall eat of it, 44 but any slave who has been purchased may eat of it after he has been circumcised; 45
no bound or hired servant may eat of it.

Leviticus 22:10-11 (NRSV)
10 No lay person shall eat of the sacred donations. No bound or hired servant of the priest shall eat of the sacred donations; 11 but if a priest acquires anyone by purchase, the person may eat of them; and those that are born in his house may eat of his food.


These passages show that there is a difference between someone who is hired, someone who is a bonded servant, and someone who is bought, paid for, and owned. These are laws for priests. If the Bible had a problem with people owning other people, why couldn't it at least ban the priesthood from owning slaves?
