This is how confused people process information and make highly contradictory statements without any shame.

First, the bold but stupid statements.

SEFAGO:

1) What you claim you saw was total bullshit
2) juju doesn't exist
3) Again, it doesnt exist

4) The existence of the supernatural is at best, speculative

Next, the typical questions they are seeking answers to just to convince them or for them to learn what they think is impossible.

SEFAGO:

Why are ppl snakes, owls and dogs? why can't they be animals from a different country like pandas- why do they have to fit the animals of a certain locale?

And finally, the contradictions.

SEFAGO:

I can say that because (1) I know christianity is crap; and I am sure it is crap
(2) it is possible that juju exists but if it does it would have more power than christianity
(3) so i am still surprised that men of god no dey fear when they go against the supposed real juju except if they themselves get their power from juju
(4) The majority of white ppl know that christianinty is a made up religion even during the eary 20th century so if they can unfearful go into a medicine man's house with no fear, and no protection don't you think that they were aware that juju is false grin grin grin

The same person states categorically that juju does not exist.

The same person states categorically that it is possible juju exists.

The same person states categorically that christianity does not exist.

The same person states categorically that if juju exists then it must have more powers than christianity that he claims does not exist.

This is what you get when you allow clowns access to topics they shouldn't be allowed to even read let alone contribute to.

Highly inconsistent, low level or reasoning and a fundamentally flawed thought process.

SEFAGO, do you hold any religious belief

None, zero, and it is unlikely i will ever will. It is impossible to believe in something that has no logical proof.

Next, the typical questions they are seeking answers to just to convince them or for them to learn what they think is impossible.

As i said,lesser minds cannot grasp advanced logic. Try again (maybe hammering it into your peanut brain would help)- if juju has so many inconsistencies it is likely that it doesn't exist. The presence of inconsistencies make it impossible for something to exist

Mugu, I am assuming it exists- it must be able to meet these reuirements (if it cannot meet this requirement, then it doesn't exist). This is very popular in philosophy- I am not going to dispel your belief without considering it- but if considering it shows so much inconsistencies then it is illogical for it to exist.

Sad, yes, I might be writing far below my standard but that is because i dont consider anyone here to be in the same intellectual level. When you are in rome behave like the romans

399 Forums / Islam for Muslims / Re: Prophet Muhammad in the Bible on: September 22, 2006, 06:04 AM
Men you guys are not really smart. The exact date of the gospel of barnabas cannot be authenticated. If you are foolish enough to think that the bible was bound together from the beginning then you are all fools. Several scriptures were used by early christians which are not accepted now as inspired books of God. The gospel of barnabas could have been written a few centuries after the death of Jesus then gradually changed to is now available. For example, the Gospel according to Mark had several versions( That is what I was tAUGHT IN CLASS, i idn't say it was true). Also the revelations was not accepted at an authentic book by the early christians. If you read the last chapters of the gospel of mark you would see that the gospel was written by a roman(mark was a roman christian convert) because of the reference to people coming back from the dead. While the gospel of Matthew made no reference to such since it was written by a jew- jews even up till now don't believe in the resurrection of the dead.
Concerning Senator Allen, I used to be part of his campaigning team(dropped out because of school work). Anyway not me save my opinions about Islam because to be sincere I am really scared of muslims and what they can do.

yadadda. so what story are u going to cookup for us again: which person did u see turn into a goat  grin grin grin and what spiritual significance do goats have.

Are you aware of how stupid your story sounds?

First it was that sheep Afam, then now it is you making subjective and unverifiable claims- without any logical proof but hearsay. That is all the proof you have hearsay- you are not thinking it out- you saw a person turn into a cat (and you just let it go like that). Not a life-changing experience for you right?

I repeat, do you know how stupid your story sounds?
Re: Juju Claims Are Fraudulent: An African Fetish (Published In 1905) by sage(m): 11:51pm On Oct 24, 2009
e be like say this Pokasoka guy think say all the people on top this forum na small pickin

Person turn to cat?? What a joke!

I didnt want to comment on this topic but i had to laugh out loud on that. Regardless of if Juju exists or not

1. No human being has the ability to turn to an animal, or yam or cocoyam etc

2. The sun cannot rise from the west and set in the east.

3. The rotation of the earth will be the same, no human beign or juju can change the earth's rotation to west to east

4. No juju can turn sahara dersert into rainforest overnight

5. Juju no fit make person fly, disappear of torpedo into space

6. Person wey hold gun power pass person wey hold juju power, Fact

This issue is very interesting. Afam raised a very important point by challenging us to disclaim juju and at the same uphold some of the fantastic stories in the bible which by and large look like juju. RichyBlack fell into the trap; all his attempt to reconcile both position looks pathetic. 9jaganja highlight the discrepancies, SEFAGO understood the fact and excuse himself.
And I thought I was the only one who noticed this.

That was what I was looking for before i commented on your experience . Religious views. For all of us rational agnostics/atheists- we are aware that the christian religion is a major fraud- not because we have anything against God (or maybe Satan possessed us and is deceiving us) but because we have decided to learn about our beliefs, examine and question them- not taking them based on faith (faith is not enough alone to justify holding a religious belief since muslims have faith and christians would argue that muslims end up in hell)


I can say that because (1) I know christianity is crap; and I am sure it is crap
(2) it is possible that juju exists but if it does it would have more power than christianity
(3) so i am still surprised that men of god no dey fear when they go against the supposed real juju except if they themselves get their power from juju

Be careful what you say, this is my own witness

In July 1996 my little brother was diagnosed with brain tumor
He went for surgery to remove it but due to the delicate nature of the cancer, all of it couldnt be removed and he had to go for chemo and radiation
None of it wasnt working, and to make it worse his head was swelling at an abnormal rate and he was opted to take another surgery to reduce the swelling, but his chances of living though it were very slim.
My mom objected to it, and the doctors got a lawyer and over ruled my mom.

The night before the surgery, my brother said he saw a man in all white, reaching over to him in the hospital.
He thought it was a doctor coming to take him away and he called my mom  (who was at his bedside)
and he shook my mom until she woke up, but no one was there.
The next morning the doctors came and took my brother away.
before he went for his surgery the doctors scanned his head,
all of the fluids that was causing his swelling and the rest of the cancer was GONE.
He has been in remission ever since.

God is real / JUJU is real
God gives Satan power to decieve , but ultimately God has all the power.
There are fakery on both sides, Pastors faking miracles and Juju magicians faking tricks

But both are real.

interesting- i wouldn't comment because i cannot verify the veracity- but if it is true i am glad for your brother. But I repeat, God cannot exist- it doesn't make sense for it to exist. And satan doesn't exist.

I'm careful not to label anybody mad, but insight and how you look at things around you makes a lot of difference. If Ronaldho broke his leg during a match, someone would insist that it was juju, instead of accepting the injury as a normal occupational hazard of soccer.

What about automobile accident? Of all the factors that could cause car accident, and are preventable or controlable in the future, an individual who believed his accident was because of juju is likely not to pay attention to the fact his own carelessness, drunkun state, bad road, or even poor driving skills might have actually caused the accident.
People who blame juju for everything are not only psychiatrically challenged, but are psychologically lazy, and refuses to accept their own responsibilities.

Anecdotal. Brain tumors have been know to shrink, disappear, and go into remission. I'm happy for your brother and your family, but there's really nothing magical about the remission, it's medicine, not juju.

Ok, the brain tumor dissapeared, then what happened to the fluids? Where did they drain to? Please help me know because the whole medical team could not find the source, unless you telling me you know more than a team of trained neurosurgeons.


And what about the man in white? His hospital room was locked, no one could have entered.

And this was not JUJU it was the power of GOD.

Like i said, hard for people that havent experienced it to reason with it.

And who says we dont have witches in the States?

I live here and trust me, we have witches who are well know, and practices, I met one.

It is obvious that richy and co are just trying to divert the topic to suit their own selfish belief. And this is very disappointing as richy is one of those people on NL i always follow with kin interest on any thread. Am sorry you get this wrong especially when you jumped up on cheap distracion to manouvre the the topic to suit your own belief. Fine! Juju is fraudulent and should be discouraged ( that is my selfish interest though) but in all fariness and for the sake of logical reasoning as demostrated by 9jaganja and Afam and some other folks, if we brand juju as fraudulent because it invloves magic and voodoo, dont you think, with all the miracles in the bible and with synagoue, that christainity shoud also be declared fraudulent. To my understanding that is the point 9jaganja and Afam are trying to argue.

There is something called the blood-brain barrier that handles fluids in the brain. Mind you the brain has a lot of electrical ctivities, some of which we interpret as vision, dream, and personal awarness. Remember I said it's anecdotal. If the neurosurgeons agreed with you that it's something miraculous the way you're describing it, they would have since rushed to be the first to publish it.
Beliveing that things we don't know is juju or a miracle is understandable, it makes us feel better.

Science cannot prove juju therefore a publication will be null and void.

The neurosurgeons didnt agree with anything, remember they wanted to do the surgery, you think science has an answer for everything; when it doesnt.

I want to point out that the human mind is capable of accommodating contradictions, without being hypocritical. Most I know a lot of Christians that believes literally in the Bible but do not believe in Juju. Even the Europeans that brought Christianity to Us did not believe in all our Juju and babalawos, they desecrated our shines and took away our sacred idols and objects. That is the way the mind works. Another example is that you will see a lot of our Born again friends (especially the ladies), visiting babalawos when they encounter serious problems, only to be seen in church the next sunday singling " Babalawo Power Powerless Power, Jesus Power Super Power".

This is arguably one of the most profound comments on this thread!
