A fetus is not a parasite


A parasite is an organism of one species in or on an organism of other species & deriving nourishment from the host


A foetus is an organism of one species living in the uterine cavity of an organism of the same species and deriving nourishment from the mother. A dependent relationship, but not a parasitic relationship

A parasite is harmful to some degree to the host

A foetus does not usually cause harm to the mother, provided proper care & nutrition is provided by the mother

This argument really exposes the weakness of English language as a tool in describing organisms. Semantically a foetus is most definitely a parasite, and the reasons you provided in opposition of the notion really reinforce the hypothesis.

English as a scientifc language will not define an intrinsic difference between some attributive pronouns. The ultimate objective of the organism can only be understood by adding an adjective e.g. benign or malignant parasite.

A foetus naturally ticks all the conditions of a benign, temporary parasite, that helps the body like leeches and mushroom fungus. A leech behaves very similarly to a foetus and God mentions it in the Qur'an to describe the foetus in the early stages of embryo development.

TBH buildings look cheap and boring.

A building with such ambitions should be naturally inspiring and impactful. It will be the focus of all ideas born within its walls good and bad. Cant even call it mediocre or a measly attempt.

If rapacious government want to squander project money they should do it without making a grand fool out of their people and further damaging their global image.

The building should be demolished and reconstructed or it should be repurposed as a dump site.

His peeps will say that Jesus called for him... To clean his room!

Some gals will be told dey luk natural without makeup and somehow misconstrue that to beautiful.

Love thy neighbor buddy!!

Daddies wealth wont buy a ticket out of uk prison.

Daddy who is likely hustling for a seat in 2019 government while his son is disgracing and exposing him abroad.

Borrow to businesses other than church and gospel music...


Naija we dey export 3 main tings: oil, gospel and dead inaccurate (or DOA) prophesies .

MURIC needs to visit Nairaland to know the real state of unity.

Adebayor will be prophesying all sorts of irrelevant events until another pasta sauce (with herbs and spices) prophesys his death. Dats how authority is ed down in xtiandom.

Choir girls dont deserve this!!

Mouth dey try sha, praising de lawd with one cheek, suckn cocks wit de oda, in no particular order...

#RIP

Im sure that policeman was a Yoruba man from Illorin, doing his bit against biafra insurgency

Dangote needs competition, not the so called best line up #Rubbish!

With all their supposed greatness not one could challenge the might of Dangote, just shows how truly un-great they are.

Dangote proudly does not possess half the qualifications of the least schooled graduate in the list yet he dominates them and is free to dispossess them of their relevance to society.

Who are these morons fooling, theyre zero without a job and dont have the knowhow to be their own boss.

Tragic. Banning codeine production came at no better time.

Most Northern truck drivers are under the influence of some type of intoxicant. Muslims must spread awareness to stop this trend. Muslims are better than this.

Benjom:
When will this insanity stop?

I ask The Punch newspaper that question all the time, still awaiting a response. I guess they just love the sight of blood. Murder is addictive.

BH read todays harrowing anti-Muslim newspapers and responded to the clarion call, CAN over to you for further xenophobic incitement...

One spreads hatred and attacks through the media, the other through suicide explosions killing and maiming dozens at a time.

Two xtians openly fukking, what's new??

Their pastors will turn a blind eye to their lechery, while expressing disdain for the poor who aren't able to meet up with monthly quota.

I feel for all these new babies, though I'm pretty sure the gods of xtiandom are less concerned about the welfare and spiritual cultivation of the next generation and more with building yet another ostentatious image of himself.

We have a country where many xtians get away with murder while painting themselves as victims.

Trump knows the truth and realises the implications of throwing undue blame on the real victims of this conflict, posterity. Surreptitiously fanning hatred has been the forte of church dominated news agencies for years. They desire dominance behind the human shield gladly offered by congregants and poverty stricken zealots.

Muslims will not play the victim game because there is nothing to gain appearing meek. If truly naija xtians are the victims we would see a swarm of NGOs fighting in their defense.

DrinkLimca:
Attention seeker,, A guy that gets paid 250 thousand naira hating on billionaire pastors..

who even takes him serious?

Is this not the same guy that was thoroughly beating by his ex?

Billionnaire pastors? Then Trillionnaire pastor right? All in the name of God. How many of Gods' prophets were even rich btw? 10%? 5%? 1%? less than 1%?

I can only think of two whose wealth could be accepted in todays description as oppulent; David and Soloman; monarchs who benefited from spoils of Gods' wars.

A single prosperity pastor in todays time has more wealth than all the prophets of God put together. If prophets then only knew what pastors of today knew theyd raise all the money to fight Gods' enemies and possibly win...But that didnt happen.

They could have been far wealthier than the pastors of today if only they preached prosperity and love of worldly life. The period was ripe, long life was certain, followship guaranteed. But they couldnt. God sent them to warn about the glitter and glamour of this fleeting life and they chose to live a monastic life in fear of God and preached against wealthy kings, with the kind of wealth of todays private jet pastors, who love to deceive the youth and distract them from Gods' worship.

Your pastors will those kings in hell and their wealth wont be able to ransom them or offer any form of respite. Eternity in hell is what they are offering you on a silver platter. Wealth belongs to God, it will stay when we die. How can a man build a gargantuan building and people on every street leading to it are suffering? Is it Jesus who builds such buildings or the devil?

It is better to build a nightclub than to use the peoples wealth to build a reflection of ones ego and vanity. Using Gods' name in vain has no better description. They are using Gods' name in vain by profiting from His Message to humanity, manipulating it and using it to oppress those who are poor and needy! A man of God is a man of his people, if they are rich, so is he, if they are poor, so is he! How else can the word of God transcend milleniums and languages? Nigerian xtians are poor and needy, so who exactly are these wealthy pastors preaching to? Bill Gates?

God is One and Only

Youre smiling while staring at life in prison or even execution should the worst happen.

Dont just think profit, think safety! There are many ideas that make economic sense but are not safe so are rejected during planning.

Jeezuzpick:
What of the Benue victims?

It's gradually getting there.

The time is coming when it will be pure hell to be Hausa/Fulani in most parts of the country.

Mark my words. They will be ostracized, stigmatized and avoided like the plague.

When they will be unable to get taxi, okada or bus rides, when indigenous nurses their sick women and children over, denying them of needed health care, when they can't buy anything or even sell anything, they will realise the folly of fighting everyone around them.

That time is coming. I hope it is soon and I will relish its arrival.

Be careful who you make enemies with. Don't you realise Muslims from all corners of the globe will come to the aid of fellow Muslims? Talk is cheap, you will only regret saying such rubbish.

tintingz:
Empty talk.

What do you mean by not fall victim and change my ways?

Allah knows those that he will guide and those that he will mislead(according to the Quran).

I don't get your point, if Allah the all-powerful and all-knowing knows Satan will be the prime evil that will lead humans astray, why didn't he stop him from the beginning? Who should be blame?

You agree Allah has written everything both big and small, what then is your argument?

Your entire argument is pointless because you dont know what Allah has willed on His servants. Those condemned to hell do so on the precipice of their deeds. You cant claim the Owner is unjust because he has given you the faculty of reasoning and descernment. Right and wrong are two choices we make without any form of coercion. You have the tools to do good and those to do evil. It's called a test or trial.

Muslims are instructed not to argue or think deeply about Qadr for fear of leading oneself astray. You obviously didnt get the memo. Islam is not philosophy, its a way of life.

tintingz:
Wrong, maybe your educated Muslims doesn't see the absurdity in putting together freewill and predestination, in a nutshell they don't understand what they means.

There is no absolute free will. We know that Allah has written everything, big and small in a clear book. Blessed is the one who is guided.

But this knowledge is in the unseen. None knows of its entirety but Allah, The First & The Last. If you do not want to be a victim rectify your ways. Which part of Qadr is stopping you from cleaning your heart and amending your ways? You are your own justifier, you are proof against yourself. How can you claim Qadr is against you when you have not been privy to its unseen content? How can you claim God is unjust when he did condemn you to hell while you are alive?

For all we know your current state of transgression can be merely a phase and a platform for you to achieve greatness or it could be a means for testing others. Only Allah Knows this.

So your arguments are weak.

AlBaqir:



Really its tiring and fruitless open a chain of debate with you since you've rigidly and stubbornly chose a path (Atheism). Besides, we are discussing God here, and the last time I check, you no longer believe in Him nor His attributes. Be a gentleman, kindly let those who believe in Him be. Is there no freedom of though and belief in your atheism?


# Anyway, to those who believe in God, all-knowing knowledge of God is not synonymous to forcing His creature to do according to His plan. You can have pre-knowledge of the outcome of something while you leave it to take its normal course. Man has ability to to choose, to decide, to abide and to alter.

# There are some preordained cause and effect that man has no say on it, for example, Qadar (Measure) of all things as explained earlier (above). Our natural environment (seasons, day, night, etc) is chosen for us. Yet man still has ability to alter the state to some extent.

However, as per Qada (divine decree), there is nothing like God has chosen Paradise or hell for each individual and that he has no choice over it. That's why there is nothing like that in the Qur'an. To the contrary, Qur'an says:


Surah Al-Zalzala, Verse 7 - 8:

So. he who has done an atom's weight of good shall see it

And he who has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.

In another verse, we read: "God does not do injustice of a thing to man, it is he who do zulm upon himself".


# It is man's God-given intellect and freewill that will lead man to his destination: paradise or hell. In fact, His ordainment is such a way that if you follow the right course (via your freewill), your inner self will be at ease; and should you follow the evil way (via your freewill), life will be difficult. Hence, Qur'an further says:

" By the soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

And its enlightenment as to its wrong and it's right;

Truly he succeeds (he) that purifies it

And he fails (he) that corrupts it" [surah ash-shams: 7 - 10]


# For your info, I do not believe in God that has forcefully by His Power and wish chose paradise and hell for man before man is even created or perform any action.

Bro you are far too noble and intelligent to be arguing with a riff raff. Don't allow him to sully your image. Such people enjoy fighting dirty.

Truth is clear from falsehood. Your anecdotal breakdown is truly intact, mashaAllah.

tintingz:
Criticism is open to any discussion especially when it comes to a public matter.

This thread is not only about God but about predestination and freewill.

Thank you for the bolded, you just accept humans can alter Allah's plan or knowledge, does this means Allah is not all knowing?

If Allah have pre-knowledge of his creation then he knows each end of his creation, it's just like a movie when you know the beginning and end of an actor as scripted, no freewill.

If I can know the beginning and end of the robot I invented, I can record down every event the robot will go through and how it will end, my robot will act "necessarily" on what I knew beforehand, is there freewill here?

And the worst part is, God get angry when his creation do wrong when he already knows what will happen.

Does Allah have knowledge of what we're about to alter, is it as planned?

Majority people in China are not Muslims, they are raised/indoctrinated to believe Islam to be false religion, is Allah aware of this? Don't forget Allah said those who reject him will be thrown to hell fire forever, now as a good and kind Chinese man that reject Allah where is he going, paradise or hell?

God has already chosen paradise and hell for humans the moment he created this imaginary places.

If God does not have knowledge of where his creation will end up, that God is imperfect.

Dude your understanding is less than adequate. Educated Muslims know the difference between Qadr and Qadar.

Go do something more productive with your time like sleeping

GeeString:
Buhari's fault is all I can say.

The misery under him keeps piling up.

Are you ok?

Someone did the maths and realised that crime in Lagos + intermittent light + a suspended carriage makes zero sense. Abi who wan Agbero rape his bikin in the air while NEPA restores light?

If Tinubu was paying property tax for all of his illicit properties and appropriations he'd be the poorest man in Lagos.

Lagos is for all, not just for the supper rich to be capping the wealth of the middle class.

seankay:
I'm 100% sure they won't investigate what caused the death my lighting, they will rather conclude it's spiritual. A white man will conduct research to see where the problem is and fix it. The black man will say things like : God is great, blood of Jesus, Allah Akbar, village people.

I don't see anything spiritual cos I know lighting can trigger electric shock.

* For the ignorant ones that will attack me, the pics here should help you realize that some people don't wait for God to come fix a problem, they make use of the brain God gave them to fix problems.

Dont be silly! Lightning is no joking matter. If you believe that ligntning arrestor is fully capable of protecting you during a thunder storm, I dear you to stand next to one naked.

The power of Lightning is still little understood and its ability to through every known insulator is truly terrifying. No home is 100% safe from lightning.

Even the origins of thunder and lightning mystifies and evades the most competent researchers in the field of meterology. So what are you saying??

Do you know how much electricity is produced in just one blast? Even many massive craters are known to have been created by lightning.

What of the EMP (electro magnetic pulse) that follows or the blinding light?

Lightning is truly a clear sign for those who give enough thought.

Guy you are alone in your annotated animation, no self respecting scientist would dear challenge lightning or bravely say their home is lightning proof.

Ogashub:
Love is already everywhere in the air as 2018 Valentines day aprroches we at www.ogashub.com however decided to create a review of lapses and other flaws that breaks homes and relationships and why most people may not be happy to celebrate 2018 Valentine as soppesed with their lovers grab a drink and enjoy..

The one who gives without taking will soon deplete themselves of their own self nourishment. This could result to unhappiness and exhaustion which would eventually hurt the person and the relationship. If you feel exhausted and out of balance in your relationship, then it might be one sided. Here are more clues that tell you you’re relationship is one sided.

1. You’re always there for them but they can’t do the same for you.
They are your number one priority in life. Whenever they need you by their side, you’re able to ditch everything in your schedule just to be with them. But when you’re on the same situation, you hardly have their attention. They can’t be with you always.

2. They’re a part of your life, without feeling a part of theirs.
You have allowed them to enter in your life. They’ve meet your close friends, peers, or even family. Whatever the events in your life is, you always make sure they’re present. However, you have a hard time entering into their lives. It’s as if their life is private and you’re not welcome to enter nor become a part of it.It makes you feel you’re just one of their colleagues and not someone special.

3. It’s always you who make the effort of having a time together.
When it comes to giving them your time, no one beats your generosity. You’re able to set aside everything if you want to be with them. But, when you ask them of their time, they’re either busy or doing something very important, as if you’re not one of those important things.
You lost count of the alibis they’ve given you. If this is the case, it’s clear they’re not that serious in the relationship.


4. You’re not your true self in their presence.
You’re on constant guard in their presence, making sure every act or word you say is right, otherwise they’ll get turned off when your actions or words don’t please them. In short, when in their company, you’re a person other than your true self. And this exhausts you because it makes you feel uncomfortable to pretend you’re someone that you’re not. Feeling discomfort in the presence of someone who is suppose to accept you as you are is definitely ironic.

5. You’re always asking for apology.
You could no longer how many times you say ‘I’m sorry’. An apology is always expected from you whenever they find a flaw in your manners or words no matter how simple or silly it appears. If this is a regular occurrence in your relationship, you have to think twice. Ask yourself if you want to share your life with a person who does not make you feel good.

6. You think twice before talking to them.

As a loving partner that you are, you love to call them at the end of the day just to ask how their day went. Instead of thanking you, they’ll get angry with you for disturbing them and even make you feel guilty about it.
Thus, you have to think twice every time you feel the nudge of calling them. On the other hand, they’re too busy to even give you a quick call. They seem to be so distant, you find it difficult to make a connection.

7. They make you feel that your relationship is an obligation they need to do.

You always find the initiative of keeping your romance alive. Whenever you ask them to do their part, they’ll feel as if they’re obliged to do something and not because they truly love you. They’ll give you the freedom to do all the plan and the execution, while they just go along as if they can’t do anything about it.
