layi:

His statement is logical.
Witchcraft is an act. He knows the act exists. But he doesnt believe in joining them. He can't put his faith in such acts. Thats why he doesnt believe in it. Same for me.

Exactly. I was going to give him the same reply but it seems you read my mind and gave it to him instead. Weldone man!

@wesley, seems to me that u are giving in lil by lil. First, u said witchcraft is crap and doesn't exist. Now u are saying it exists but it's fake, ....

i said that because i was trying to be nice so you wouldn't fall to your knees and start crying.

anyways, those voodoo people claim to practice "witchcraft" but all they do is talk gibberish. i don't believe in it and i don't believe supernatural powers exist.

good for u

thank you

you're welcome.

nice

cool

great

Wes.. u dont believe in supernatural powers exist ?

nope

Will u take up a challenge just to proove its non-existence.

the question is : will you take up a challenge just to proove its non-existence.?
to me, it's real only on TV and in stories.

Its my question not urs. u didnt answer it.

Anyway, just go to the nearest Eck temple and attend their meeting for a month. ur life will change. I'm not eck but it would do no harm since u dont believe in the supernatural.

what's eck

i was just about to ask

Ecks - Eckankars. Still don't know them?

I want to proove its existence.
U want to proove its non-existence.

That will settle it. By the time u r taken on soul-travel, u'll believe in the supernatural.

Now i get it, used to watch the program when i was back home. they scare the hell out of me.

as i said earlier, it's real only on TV and stories

WesleyanA:

as i said earlier, it's real only on TV and stories

...why dont u go check it out? At least u'll be sure its only on TVs

check what out. you mean go to their site or watch it on TV?
i wouldn't bother watching it on TV because i've seen better horror movies with superb "special effects"
if you mean to go there to the site, i can't do that for obvious reasons (i don't have supernatural powers). i'll rather ask them to fly to my house right now.

You dont have to be supernatural to go there. Just google search the nearest branch to u and prolly take a stroll down to see facts.

pssshht . . like looking through some internet "stories" is going to make me believe. heheheeh you make me laugh.

as i said, it only exist on TV and stories (written and spoken).

Have i asked u to look at internet stories? Can i ask u to go to an internet site nearest to u? Hope u read my post well.

Here it is again o!

oh my bad. i don't think there's one close to me. if not, i would have heard about them a long time ago.

Wesley, if u still dont believe witchcraft exists, then go to India and know what's up. I'm sure u'll need no one to tell you what to believe or not.

By the way gurl, talking of the supernatural, EVERYONE HAS SUPERNATURAL POWERS, INCLUDING YOU!, believe it or not.

_{From your posts so far, you are talking like supernatural only means ability to turn "this" into "that" or the power to do and undo anything. My dear, "supernatural" goes a longer way than that.}

To y'all out there saying it's our belief in witchcraft and alike that's making Nigeria backward, that's so lame. Go to india. It is practised there than in any other parts of the world. Yet, they are one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world.

So who says it's our belief in witchcraft that makes us backward??

really. . witchcraft is practiced a lot in India - give me an example. .

I mean, if it is more than in Nigeria - wouldn't it show up in more Indian movies? I'd hear more about it from my Indian friends than other Nigerians? . . .

That's a gross misrepresentation of my position (if you're addressing me, of course ). I do believe though that the focus on witchcraft and other supernatural nonsense is using up precious resources that could be put to positive use.

Your statement about India doesn't mean anything as it stands. Try to substantiate your position by being precise instead of throwing around generalizations. What do you mean by technologically most advanced? How does that relate to witchcraft? Where is the causal relationship? And even if you could establish that relationship, how does that have anything to do with Nigeria?

If you can elaborate on that , than you have a position to start arguing from. If not, the statement is free of content, redundant to the highest degree.

@goodguy

Can you come back on my chinese lesson. I'm intrigued by it, I do want to learn the ancient arts

go to india? have you been there. you think it exists in India because you read/saw as i said "stories and TV".
just because some indians don't worship christ and practice a different religion (hinduism or whatever) doesn't make them witches.. . .
if there was rampant witchcraft in india, my friend would have told me... she's indian.

The funny thing is that there are quite some Indians that want to expose all these guru's withdoctors, etc. as these people prey on the poor gullible underclass and extract the little money they have left from them. I once saw a programme on National Geographic channel about the supernatural in India and the skeptics struggle to expose these frauds.

What I mean by technologically advanced is not something I feel I should explain. That's self-explanatory on it's part.

I am not relating technology to witchcraft in any way. You said that it is due to our believe in witchcraft that's making us backward; which probably means u are talking of our economic depression, which includes lack of sound technology in the nation.

This exactly is my point.
