Really, you are using an unverifiable story from thousands of years ago to prove there veracity of witches in the present age?? Good job!
like I said, we all can choose to believe what we want, have seen live cases of witches in action, so why wont I believe its real, but the greater thing is that they bow to the name of JESUS

My dear op and his or her like. Stop deceiving yourselves or else you will compound your problem. You have muddled up the whole thing.

Madness is different from Witchcraft and witchcraft is different from madness.

What happened to you is Insanity better called madness I'm sorry if it sounds insultive. And I pray you never experience it again.
In short you want us to believe there is nothing like witchcraft, that what ppl call witchcraft attack is just illusions. Babanla nonsense. For every one of the atheists my prayer for them is to fall into the hands of the Witches and be dealt with by them. not because I hate them but to just proove to them that at least there is a devil even if it's hard for you to believe there is a God.

By the way I need to have asked you if you are an Atheist and if you are one then, no need to argue with you. Someone who says there is no God would always deny the existence of any other thing that comfirms the opposite of the power of God so that he can still be bold to say there is no God. Even when he knows he is telling a lie.

The Bible says the Fear of God is the BEGINNING of wisdom.

That seals it all

The ignorant europeans( white in layman terms) gave us religious falacies and not education, they moved away from such nonsense along time ago when they attained the level of development that makes one who believes in wiches and wizards sound like an idiot. Offcourse there are still ignorant europeans whose low I.Q or Lack or Education can make him/her believe in such nonsense but a far majority of the population now understand that an illness is caused either by neaurological deficiency or a biological attack by microbs.
Fast forward to Africa and you would see the same behavior exhibited by Europeans at a time in the past when ignorance was the norm and eauropeans actually believed a solar eclipse was caused by an angry God. The high level of poverty and low level of litracy makes it possible for 99% of Nigerians to believe an accident is caused by witches and wizards ( who mostly recide in the rural villages) than a mechanical failure.
Bring video evidence of a rat turning into an old woman or an old woman turning into a rat and we can discuss from there. This is 2016 not 1801



China is far ahead of Nigeria in terms of 'withcraftry', charms, black magic and the so called development.

When we approach you folks, with evidence, you run away. I remember a particular Nairalander that narrated his experiences in his 3 bedroom apartment. He talked about how an old woman always appeared in a particular room. I called Seun severally and others to come explain, and like I expected, they never showed up.

A ghost literally appears in the house.. The only plausible explanation was that the former occupant of the room must have died a terrible death. To someone like OP, may be the Nairalander who narrated his experiences had psychosis, including his guests who shared same experiences in the room.

If we tell you ghost exist, you argue, when we discuss withcraft, you argue.. I've come to realize you and your likes are better left with your unbelief.

It's not enough to just say "witches & wizards" don't exist.

How did you arrived at this conclusion? Prove that they don't exist.

You are the one to prove they exist since you believe in them.

You are yet to encounter real witchcraft attack. Spiritual problem can never be medically diagnosed and treated. What she suffered was not witchcraft but psychosis hence the success of medical treatment

Visit the link below and educate yourself a little.

Dont give yourself away next time.

-It's funny how u ignored the other parts of the article that favor my side of the argument... only 39% of scientists have a belief in God, that doesn't account for the kind of belief u know. Again, only 7% of leading scientists believe in God...
- u also didn't mention that paedatrics and family doctors were the most likely to belief in God while PSYCHIATRISTS and radiologists had the least belief
- u didn't consider whether the doctors who even bothered to respond to the survey at all consisted of more or less religious doctors in the first place... An atheist doctor is less likely to respond to a 12 page questionnaire than a Christian one
- Lastly, this survey odd not even conclusive proof of anything, u only posted out because it appealed to your sentiments

No one needs to see their brain physically to know it is there. It is a proven FACT that humans need brains to function!
The existence of witches has never been proven!

How can you compare the presence a vital organ to the existence of witches?


The existence of witches is a PROVEN FACT likewise.

on point, let them keep deceiving themselves, just pray that witches no go get der tym. Those saying they no exist go come bk 2 testify that they exist, closeness to your God is the only way out. I dont believe in atheist at all. You say in public there is no God but in private in believe in God

They say there is no God
And I have experienced God in diverse ways,

They say there is no Ghost I have seen it before

They said nothing like Witches I have been tried by a witch before the following morning she saw me and ran like a scared dog.

If you want to know how Na long story.


It is always a waste of time and energy to engage an Atheist in an argument about the supernatural ,it does not matter the level of their education. You hear them talk and You'ld feel sorry for them. Even the professors.

It's like the issue of a madman. call him a mad man he will convince you more he is a mad man by trying to convince you he is not a mad man.

Some people do not understand the power of mental delusions. Schizophrenia, insanity, and so on.

Imagine if JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, has schizophrenia.
You think she wouldn't have composed that terrific fictional world?

The only difference is that she would have claimed that the whole thing was real. And some gullible Nairalanders would have bought into it. Giving the more rational of us a hard time refuting their delusions.

When you see a real witch let me know. This shouldn't be hard right? I have been looking for them. Since I was born all I ever heard are just fairy tales.

Proven? By the Bible. Not by some fallacies!

The Scriptures say: "Suffer not a witch to live."

I stand with the Bible; it's been proven and tried 7 times!

Unfortunately, things like these will continue because we have less than 250 qualified psychiatrists in a country of 200 million.



The fields of Neuroscience, Psychology and Psychiatry should be espoused in Nigeria.
