FLASH BACK OF (2022/04/01) A QUESTION FOR ATHEISM philosophically speaking: is everything dependent on empirically or logically verifiability? If it is: where is the place of epistemological rationalism in philosophy or even the one of metaphysical idealism in philosophy. If it is not: why are you then determined to impose a partly understanding of empirical and logical verifiability (in relation to Atheism) on the general noble field of philosophy, without consideration or reservation for those who do not outrightly or necessarily share the same or even similar ideological position with you?

FLASH BACK OF (2022/03/19) HOW CONSIDERATE IS ATHEISM? Philosophically speaking, issues of empirical and logical verifiability are concepts in some branches of philosophy; and not necessarily of the whole subject matter within such branches nor of the entire branches of philosophy. In all sincerely of Philosophical purposes: what meaningfulness would it establish to subject the whole to a mere concepts of the parts? Wherein even with the same parts there are also a viable opposing school of thought whose understandability of empirical or even logical verifiability pose a whole lot of burden to not only intellectual articulation but also to Philosophical applicability and practicability? In essence,if the whole is subjected to the parts: what is therefore the propensity of the reality of its existential meaningfulness? If the relationship of Atheism is identified in the concept of the parts described above,: how considerate is Atheism in lording her position over, not only within the branch wherein its relevance is found but also in the whole of such branch, and even in extension the entire branches of philosophy whose contextualities of rationality do not guarantee the superimposition of atheism.

FLASH BACK OF (2022/05/04) THEISM-ATHEISM IS NOT UNKNOWN/UNKNOWABLE Anyway, I think your understanding that theism and atheism make claim of the unknown/unknowable is rather an extreme philosophical position. For reality is not material in nature: that which is visible is a product of an original invisible idea. And the field of philosophy makes provisions for opposing camps which makes what is real or knowledgeable to one probably not real or knowledgeable to the other, depending on one's ideological position. Personally,I do not just believe but also know that God exists. But the existence of God is nevertheless a Transcendental reality. Hence, it's superiority to logical verifiability and empirical evidentiality of course makes its apprehensions practically difficult for and to those who don't have its propensity of understanding.

FLASH BACK OF (2021/08/03) REASONABLE SENSE OF INTELLECTUALISM In intellectualism, it's not enough to say that something does not make reasonable sense without providing reasons why it does not or how it would look like for it to make reasonable sense. And in philosophy, anything makes reasonable sense as long as the argument navigates through premises and conclusion: even when it is either valid or invalid, sound or unsound, truth or falsity. Even atheism (non believe in the existence of God or gods) which could look like a nonsense thought to others is one of the most contentious and discussed issues in the field of philosophy, that is to show the strength of its reasonability even in its unreasonability to others. It is either you approve or disapprove,align or non-align; and in each case, your position is not capable of bringing a conclusive end to such or any intellectual property in the profession of Philosophy.

FLASH BACK OF (2022/03/20) ATHEISM AND REALITY Knowledge is no longer " a justified true belief",may be that is the challenge atheism has. Rather knowledge is' Understandability of rationality and reasonability or perceptive reasonability in a Reminiscencingly-transcendented conception, consumation of thoughtfulness and finality of understandability": with this exposition, the existence of God is no longer deduced to facts of empirical and logical verifiability alone. The compartmentalization of epistemic understanding into rationalism and empiricism,as well as reality into materialism and idealism presupposes that not all epistemological or metaphysical contextualities that are demonstrable as facts. And also that we do not all have common or universal understandability. ISN-ODP/FMP: Nebeolism-Igweism (2024/03/20)

"Ultimately, atheists would lose meaning without theists; thus, atheism is existentially dependent on its nemesis: theism. Atheism would fail to have identity without theism to define it. Thus, the God atheists claim does not exist prevails because this God lives rent-free in the atheist’s mind. Once the atheist no longer contemplates God, then the atheist ceases to exist with any meaning because there can be no belief in no God if there was no belief in this concept to begin with." (Excerpt from The Perilous Nature of Belief, pp. 48-49) Why do people believe what they do? How do people's beliefs influence their behavior? What draws people to religious and ideological beliefs? Why do people join cults? How is it that people are unable to realize the absurdity of some beliefs? Can someone think about something without accepting that thought as a belief? These questions (and more) are discussed in detail in this book, The Perilous Nature of Belief, from the series The Sage and the Seeker. This book tackles difficult questions to expose the elephant in the room of these contentious issues.

"A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but deep in philosophy bringeth man's mind to religion" - Francis Bacon. Of certainty, we are learning everyday. Here's what I've learnt today 👇 Looking at the above assertion, I've always believed that philosophy leads one's mind to atheism, but this have been disproved right in philosophy class today. The above assertion makes it clear that when one is deep in philosophy there's no thinking of atheism at all. The words of Francis Bacon have been confirmed in experience because religion was given a universal application. It is generally believed that people become atheists by mistake but they love it in their souls to accept religion. They only denied their faith because they were hasty in thought to accept the scientific ineptitude of religion. I'm taking Philosophy as a borrowed course in school this semester and I want to rate my lecturer a 1000/100. If you have the opportunity to take philosophy as a borrowed course do so and I bet you'll like it. P. S - What have you learnt today? Let's know in the comment section 🙂🤲.

Just before New Year I published my new book, both in English and in Dutch. You can find them on the internet: "The World is Enough" and "De Wereld Volstaat" In this book I argue that atheism should deepen its roots. Atheism should not only present itself as a cognitive matter, the denial of the existence of god(s), and as a moral matter, the confirmation of freedom from religious rules, but should develop a sentimental-emotional dimension. Atheism should cultivate a cluster of basic human emotions: the experience of reality as both a creative and destructive process that remains fascinating, miraculous, and mysterious, notwithstanding progress made by science. Every progress science makes enhances mystery rather than reduces it. There is no need for transcendency to fully enjoy these feelings.

FLASH BACK OF (2023/04/01) WHAT THEISM -ATHEISM IS OR IS NOT Atheism is not just a mere rejection of theism,it is rather a disbelief or a negative belief in theism(the existence of God). Theist is not atheistic about everyone else's claim of existence of God, beside his (if he does, he is no longer a theist): for theism is a general notion that God exists or that there is an existence of a supreme being or a Transcendental reality. That his existence could manifest in other gods and goddesses, spirits,ghosts, and even in some cases ancestors. It is not necessarily concerned about the diversity of religions or gods, rather it's objective position is that those Transcendental beings are real. Of course the multiplicity of religions or gods might just be a means or an approach to the destination of the supreme being who is the master, Lord or God of all.
