Even when Europeans practiced alchemy, the precursor to modern science, they still catalogued the ingredients, the methodology, and the rules governing the craft.

I am yet to read a book written by a native doctor or herbalist in Nigeria, even if it's just a translation.

Hian ... It's like asking Christians to pray so that bridges would be constructed and houses built on their own . Some people use charms to cure sicknesses - my room mate's snake bite was taken care of by mere incantations by a herbalist , according to him .

KingEbukasBlog:


You see mine is an easy escape route - it's the supernatural - this is devoid of any rational explanation , impalpable in fact . But you've made blatant claims that there's an explanation . So let's hear it , how was it possible ? what level of energy did I attain ? How fast was I vibrating ?

Sarassin:


Yes but actually there is nothing supernatural about an OOBE, it can be induced medically, it can be produced by a short sustained electrical shock and a practitioner can consciously astral travel. If you have in fact had this experience, and you did in fact see the “shimmering cord” and experienced vivid technicolor then you would know that the question you ask is rather pointless.

Kay17:


That's why most atheists think prayers can't move mountains. Aside from snake bites what else?

KingEbukasBlog:


Oh . Science does not agree with you . In fact , researches suggest that OOBEs are illusions - they are not real , there is no actual conscious observations made by the claimants .

Anyway , astral travel looks like a natural way of having fun

hmmm. okay. But one of those guys playing with knives died in another occasion. They came again, brandishing knives, slicing here and there, but silently in the crowed stood one man who had come there to challenge them with h his own potent charms. The Magic was slicing his stomach, and the knife went through and all his intestines came gushing out. The whole scattered, his colleagues tried to rush him to the hospital, he died.
What kind of tricks can you do to lift a car, a whole car with the driver still at the steering, with your teeth, lie on the floor and a car drives over you?
What about the Jellof rice inside an empty Milo Can? this one i wasn't a Child.

Ranchhoddas:
That you do not understand something does not make it supernatural.I do not totally dismiss the supernatural but I am sure that those things you saw have clear rational explanations.Please open your mind.

Okay, Athiests keep saying open your mind, what does that even mean?
I live in Port Harcourt, for years l lived in Port Harcourt Township, the heart of all the cult groups, and them fighting for supremacy. Without warning they are in a hot pursuit after an opponent, and before you they are cutting their victim down, but for where, knife no dey enter. You think what you heard about Egbesu boys were fake?
Oga, I for one, do not go looking for where these things happen, I just come by them, and am forced to observe. How do i keep an open mind when before me, i see a man being hacked but the knife wont cut through?

Why would he need to lie . because you don't understand or explain sth , you are now obdurate that it does not exist and accuse someone of lying - your close mindedness is pathetic

Ranchhoddas:
I am not doubting what you saw.I am simply saying that there is a CLEAR and RATIONAL explanation for what you saw.People also see Chris Angel and David Copperfield with their 'korokoro' eyes.It is only in third world countries that it is called jazz.Once again I implore you, open your mind.I am sure you will slap yourself if those Egbesu guys told you what they did and exactly how they did it. PS: I am an Ijaw boy from Rivers State and I AM NOT AN ATHEIST.

musKeeto:

See this ptakwa babe.

Grew up in PH too. Have lots of friends around the Borokiri area. For the 'odeshi', blank bullets and poor marksmanship by the shooter. There's a difference between shooting a gun and hitting a target.

As for the Egbesu stories, I still have my doubts.

That weird, seemingly unexplainable events happen in nature is sure. Sometimes, we wrongly interpret these events to mean something else.

Amberon:
No sir!! Christianity teaches us that we are spirits and Jesus Christ exists in the spirit realm (supernatural) so any christian who doesn't believe in the supernatural is a fool of the first order.

johnydon22:
GrizzlyBear here is your second story



Now from this story the bolded part actually suggest that he was running and they were shooting and such unstable action as running you think cannot disrupt a shooting target?

here is my own story :

I live in a ghetto rugged part of Enugu so i'm pretty familiar with cult activities and all so i can relate to your story.

there was once a time some cult members were chasing another and were shooting at him but the bullets weren't penetrating.

Why?

The bullet seriously missed it's mark

Someone running at the same time shooting at another running has a very high chance of missing it's mark.

How then was the machete able to do it?

Are bullets not still metal as machete?

If your body is impenetrable by a piece of metal moving at almost the speed of light how then was one that is as slow as a human hand can penetrate?

That is absurd.

Missing the target doesn't equate impenetrable target.

I have always told people when ever you see someone claiming invincibility to a gun or machete, get your own gun place squarely on the fore head and do the test yourself.

Be ready to go to jail for murder

Only in Africa explains why most black politicians abandon our hospitals for western ones when they fall sick.

to avoid such imbecilic unprofessionalism.

Johndon22, your portion for hell fire go huge pass one of those abandoned mansions in Gwarimpa or Lekki . Any small thing why did you become atheist na johny Why did you do this or that in reference to atheism na Johny.

Is it that you deny these things or they don't happen where you come from?
when i was a kid, there were these Jaz men who come to entertain us with magic, afterwards sell their wares. A man will use this knife Mae Suya uses to slice through their stomach, stick it into their eyes, nothing happens. A man will lie down and a plank will be place on him, a car will drive through him, nothing will happen to him, i have seen a man who lifted a car with his teeth off the ground. he stood erect with the car by his teeth.
An Hausa man came to my village, he never went into the River, How he did it, no one knows till this day, but he tied a robe to a stick by the bank of the river and spiritually tied an Hippopotamus and pulled it to the river bank and it was killed. He never stepped inside the water.
I have seen where a man took an empty giant Milo Can , opened it for us to see it was empty, closed it, shook it and open it again, steaming hot Jellof rice filled the Can, he scoped it out and people ate it to prove it was indeed rice.
Its either you are lying or you are living in denial.

of all the lies in this post, I am flabbergasted by the bolded well you were a kid (little goat) back then and you had no brain. One would expect you to have grown some brains by now, unfortunately you've remained stagnant ever since.

Malvisguy is a learner lol.

GooseBaba:


So you're comparing a magic show with attempted murder or on going attempt at killing.? Who are they entertaining when they're trying to kill a rival.

Clearly there's an explanation to how a device the Egbesu boys used was built, except you or the skeptics think they just muster weapons out of thin air.

Meanwhile, I implore you to open your mind. There's is no such thing as "third world countries"

Ranchhoddas:
If there is a rational explanation,then it isn't supernatural.I don't understand your third world line.

dalaman:



You are too close minded and ignorant. Please watch the secrets of magic revealed on YouTube and see how all these tricks and more are revealed. World famous Magicans like David Copperfield, Richard Angel and Randi have all stated that there is nothing like the supernatural when it comes to magic. It's all an illusion. These men do things on camera that no juju mam in your village can ever do. But they still say it's all tricks. Why then should any body believe you a gullible spectator?

kevoh:


Lol... Someone like you will believe Chris Angel is a devil who has powers to perform magic tricks!

johnnydon
The things we term juju, black magic or any other ridiculous term people may curb out for it are simply a simplistic way of filling up ignorance with absurd fearful superstition, vague ideas.

A simple probe would actually reveal what really is.

I will pick your stories one after the other, show the holes in some, explain in my own understanding (since i wasn't there) some of the instances.

[b:
Atheism has nothing to do with Juju/spirity.
Atheism doesn't mean disbelief in spirits, No! atheism simply means disbelief in God.

whether you believe in juju or not is blatantly independent of it ..

Juju/jazz or anything or other superstitions around them can be independent of belief in God.

One can believe such thing and be an atheist as long as such a person does not believe in any God.

One can still believe in a God and not juju/jazz stuffs... so you see?

Do not equate atheists as people who do not believe in juju that is wrong, Atheist is just a word labeled on those who don't believe in God(s)

What ever it is you believe or not believe after that is your own cup of personal tea.

there are some atheists who buy the juju beliefs only that majority of we atheists in this 21st century tend to lean towards science as the most reliable way of truthful deductions and so we tend to dismiss the juju claims.

I only want to correct this first since your questions were actually based on that wrong premise of "atheist not believing in juju.
