Is there even such a thing as "spiritual problem"?..I've noticed that anyone using those terms just refer to difficulties that are re-current.
Edusouls:
you are making a mistake those days they dont easily have spiritual problems, cos they respect the values of life, and adore the principles of nature..we the so called christians are the ones with numerous and chronic spiritual problems, and it gets worse by the day,due to our very rotten and twisted way of life...

nepp:
Science solves my spiritual issues.

I'm out!


Now maybe this religionists can let us go back to the main cause of the thread

That's the point...there's really no such thing as "spiritual problem"
There are problems that we don't understand how they came, why they came and how to get it rid of it, we begin to run...and in the old days Priests had the best answers, they studied and observed nature to understand things and help people..how we go to hospital today for sudden pain in the chest...people go to priests
Because priests (the only ones with solution) are spiritual teachers, others take this problems as caused intentional by some evil spirits...African languages don't even have a word for "spiritual problem"

"Spiritual" is also very erroneously defined today by many due to the infringement of Abrahamic lies
Spiritual means relating to spirits, what are spirits? Sprits are simply energies that grow as integral(obviously incorporeal) parts of certain aspects of Nature

How can one support gods that demand sacrificing of twins? Wasn't that sheer ignorance?

But it is easier for you to support the god that instructed wiping off entire nations/cities?
How more bias can you get

I wish you could judge things without fear or favour for any of the two gods being discussed here.

According to religious ethic, some problems are solved while some end up resurfacing after a while. d bottom line is dat, devil can't give you a gift without collecting something else from you. dia must be an exchange.

Excuse me! Small Gods you say?. Yet these Gods protected our ancestors, kept our lands free from disasters, enabled us build empires, graced us with intelligence and skills to overcome life's huddles, healed us etc.

Surely ur God, Jehovah must be the small ones

How about job,samson,solomon.
Don't deceive yourself,they got gift and paid for it in full.
Sorry bro, Job case was a deal between God and Satan, I don't think I need to remind u that Satan request to handle him believing he (Job) will curse God (job1:11).
Samson messed himself up by telling Delilah d source of his power. As for the wise Solomon, his love for women especially the foreign ones made him weak towards the end of his reign..........Will you now say God arrange Delilah for Samson or dose foreign women for solomon?

Atleast we didn't kill each other that much before those foreign abrahamic religions came

Then why did God flood the earth? Wickedness filled the earth... Why did Christ die? Because the world was sinful and wicked. Back in the days, everybody get juju e de serve. Thats why you hear generational curses, family juju etc. Our forefathers were wicked, believe it

We've reached a point where we can say for certain that a "global flood" as told by the "bible" never happened...otherwise we'd find life-forms like trilobytes and cows on the same strata and we'd also not find geological features unique to certain environments...plus civilizations that were recorded to have existed never ceased existing at the time of the alleged "flood"(e.g The Egyptians )

I do not know if by "Christ" you mean "Jesus" , Certainly there is plenty of evidence that there was a man called Jesus who is the subject of the New Testament and lived shortly before it was written. This whole subject is debated in the so called "HISTORICITY OF JESUS". It is worth studying

I say this not to express any opinion on "JESUS" or what he stood for but to say :THERE IS NO EVIDENCE is ridiculous. Evidence does not mean proof but just data that evokes reasonable conviction. Of course one may argue that there is contradictory evidence which is TRUE but a different claim entirely

Where is the evidence?


excerpt

http://www.alternet.org/belief/5-reasons-suspect-jesus-never-existed

In the words of Bart Ehrman (who himself believes the stories were built on a historical kernel):

“What sorts of things do pagan authors from the time of Jesus have to say about him? Nothing. As odd as it may seem, there is no mention of Jesus at all by any of his pagan contemporaries. There are no birth records, no trial transcripts, no death certificates; there are no expressions of interest, no heated slanders, no passing references – nothing. In fact, if we broaden our field of concern to the years after his death – even if we include the entire first century of the Common Era – there is not so much as a solitary reference to Jesus in any non-Christian, non-Jewish source of any kind. I should stress that we do have a large number of documents from the time – the writings of poets, philosophers, historians, scientists, and government officials, for example, not to mention the large collection of surviving inscriptions on stone and private letters and legal documents on papyrus. In none of this vast array of surviving writings is Jesus’ name ever so much as mentioned.” (pp. 56-57)

You religious parasites and ur complete lack of knowledge. All u posted here are caucasian lies from the deepest pits of hell, that u moronic slaves believe over ur own people
I never told u I have a religion did I?
Christianity brought education Damn! You best seek christianity for better education cus only a slowpoke would utter such. Do u even know what education is? Ur brain is so puny...this is why christianity is bad for kids...it shrinks their intellectual capacity nd turns them to morons.
We Africans have had education from the very first point of our humanity...if anything pagans gave Christians education.
Then if you mean western education...wats so special about Western education? We got much of that knowledge and more in African education..btw Western education in Africa was pioneered by colonialism not religion...all this cms grammar school nd the rest were not religiously motivated, go read up on it.
Christianity put science back so drastically in the dark ages...why do u think the time of imperialism of the church is called the DARK AGES? Why the movements of free thinkers against religion became known as ENLIGHTENMENT? Have u asked ur useless pastor why?
Seriously now..Christianity gave Africans clothing? grin grin this guys case is worse than I thought..chai! Ur pastor has fried ur brain
You mean u don't know the slightest thing of African history? Too bad

This accusations of killing twins is old already..why not just prove it and shame me?
You keep embarrassing urself with this lies

Pagans aren't holding Africa back, we created empires and Great Kingdoms here...ones which caucasians marvelled at nd sought us to trade with and teach them
Africa's destruction came at the advent of christianity. Our Kingdoms scattered, empires fell all because of religion especially christianity, at least we had Mali, Morocco and Songhai strived for a while with large numbers of Muslim natives but christianity came only to destroy what Islam didn't finish

I am not primitive, I am so much more than a moronic slave like you.

Like I said before "evidence" does not mean proof but data and does not have to be convincing. Also the fact that I say there is evidence does not mean I believe the "evidence" so first of all let us be clear on what that word means.

I also mentioned that the subject has been debated in the so-called historicity of Jesus so if you are looking for evidence that would be the basis to begin your search. There are actually accounts in non biblical sources within 100 years of a person called Jesus and his crucifixion. I am afraid you will have to search these out yourself.
