texanomaly: You misinterpreted me again. As usual Zeus is a god that people used to worship. Yaweh is a god that you and other people worship There exists no evidence showing that they talk to people or they exist. From this point of view, these two gods are not different.. The problem is that, you wouldnt believe somebody discussing with Zeus but you would believe someone who discusses with Yaweh.....using the same reasoning.....How 1 Like |

texanomaly: Wait a minute... So you are bashing made-in-nigerian gods from the USA? How very unpatriotic! How will our local religious economy grow? And if we all succeed in annoying Sango, and he starts hurling them lightning bolts, you are hiding out in Texas, safely away from the line of fire... |

texanomaly: Your responses when I said I had heard God's voice...what I think he meant by manifesting was the usual magic trick done by the adherents of said deity. For example, Christians will say they've seen Yahweh manifesting when a miracle is done in church. Doesn't mean they actually saw him. |

texanomaly: Your responses when I said I had heard God's voice... First of all, you don't understand anything because u have limited knowledge. let me educate u Yahweh as a God, just like Sango and Osun are Energies responsible for the forces of nature. You can't hear Yahweh speak because it's impossible for a mountain to talk wat u heard was all up in ur head- delusion The only thing that inter-communicates with the human brain is consciousness not a skydaddy as u think Yahweh to be. ______________________ Olorun is God almighty, the most high of the Yoruba spirituality. The father God of Obatala and Oodua No human can see a God- show me how energy is visible http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshun Maybe when u read this ^^^ you would understand wat I meant by "I have seen Osun MANIFEST" |

texanomaly: Your responses when I said I had heard God's voice... You have never heard God's voice, wat u heard was either ur Ori or just ur brain playing tricks with u |

Mr Troll: what I think he meant by manifesting was the usual magic trick done by the adherents of said deity. For example, Christians will say they've seen Yahweh manifesting when a miracle is done in church. Doesn't mean they actually saw him. Thank you. Let me explain further As u might know Osun is the Orisha of Rivers, Beauty, Femininity, Healing, Sex and Love I have seen rivers and seen the beauty of women. I have been healed by Osun' river And I have fallen in love and had sex ^^^^ this is a complete manifestation of Osun that I have experienced wats more, I have seen A woman possessed by Osun- she kept dancing and crying and acting flirtishly(if that's a real word) Osun is portrayed as a young woman who loves dancing and crys when happy as the laughs when angry. |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by Nobody: 8:54am On Dec 14, 2013 |
macof: Same way you claim you were healed by the river, christians claim they were healed by God. I hope you see why atimes, you people are not in anyway different from the christians you bash. Ehen, let's talk about the second part. You mean you had se.x with osun? How? I go like phuck osun too o |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by texanomaly(f): 8:55am On Dec 14, 2013 |
macof: How do you know it was Osun? |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by MrTroll(m): 9:03am On Dec 14, 2013 |
texanomaly:this is a flawed question. According to macof, osun is not a sentient being but an abstract concept ascribed to sex, beauty etc so anytime you fuq you experience Osun macof:was this what you meant when you said Sango can be induced to act? |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by macof(m): 9:34am On Dec 14, 2013 |
rationalmind: True. Anybody can credit anything to his healing. Lemme explain further by narration... I went for Osun festival, a strong headache befell me, I was weak and so down then I was asked to take water from the river, I walked to the river got a bottle filled, I drank and poured some over my head. Less than 3secs the headache left. <<< while doing all this I was so full of doubt but Osun proved me wrong. I called with the priest and he said he was not in a position to explain the river's power. All he said was "Osun heals those who come in sincerity" That river has been doing such for over 600yrs Noo, you still don't get anything...Osun is not a sentient being, she has no Organic features. The act of Sex is caused by a physiological state of the brain reacting to stimuli. The energies responsible for this is wat the Yoruba call Osun |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by Nobody: 9:40am On Dec 14, 2013 |
macof: The second part of your explanation I agree with. The first part I don't. When you have such a river as osun river which heals, doesn't it bother you why we still have people with HIV/AIDS? Does it not occur to you to take lots of the water in a bottle and announce to the whole world you have the cure for HIV and who knows, win yourself a nobel. Thirdly, have you ever heard of the placebo? What about coincidences? Edit: have you ever heard of this statement, "correlation does not equal causation?" |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by MrTroll(m): 9:51am On Dec 14, 2013 |
Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. I wonder why macof will not believe Christian testimonies then. |

I specialise in debunking miracle claims and testimonies. |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by macof(m): 10:05am On Dec 14, 2013 |
Mr Troll: this is a flawed question. According to macof, osun is not a sentient being but an abstract concept ascribed to sex, beauty etc so anytime you fuq you experience Osun Yes and more...I once watched on the TV one Sango devotee who was possessed and began talking in a thunderous voice. They stopped the show right there I later heard that such are very prevalent, That when Sango is well appeased with the dancing he starts hailing lightning. Sango is also sometimes referred to as Orisha of dance, Osun fell in love with him because of his dancing talents |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by macof(m): 10:23am On Dec 14, 2013 |
rationalmind: Do u believe Odo Osun heals? No Do u believe the cure for HIV exist but hasn't been proven? No, u probably believe it a cure doesn't exist because Europeans haven't created it yet. You see where Modern scientist are just finding a way to prevent a negative from contracting the virus, The Yoruba have had a way of preventing anybody from contracting anything for centuries. As for being Healed of Aids or HIV, The cure is everywhere especially in Africa, but laziness, disbelief, low self-esteem and brainwash cannot let people go to the Forest to seek Erinle and Osanyin's help in fighting Sopona. Osun river hasn't been proven wrong, if u have an HIV positive friend take him/her to Odo Osun and test Osun Osanyin has blessed Osun and taught her how to heal. There is No Osanyin devotee that falls sick or even as health issues at least until freckled old age. I have never heard of placebo. And Coincidence itself is controlled by forces. |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by macof(m): 10:24am On Dec 14, 2013 |
Mr Troll: Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. I believe some that Ise sense in, I disbelieve the rest I want to know... How does a pastor heal a man that has been crippled all his life when he is not possessed by Obatala or Osanyin |
Re: How Is Religion Not A Form Of Mental Illness At Times? by macof(m): 10:25am On Dec 14, 2013 |
rationalmind: I specialise in debunking miracle claims and testimonies.I can see that But visit Odo Osun or Osanyin people any time u are free |
