That you decide to be ignorant of something or you don't believe it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've seen someone talk like what the @ Op said later with a spiritualist whom he called his Godfather. Some patronizing spiritualist for office deal in nnpc Benin. I know of one in a cult who always talk all this trash. I'm not interested in convincing anyone. I know we'll well. The demonic operations just want to have a field day. We are not ignorant of the level of witchcraft manipulations in our society today. So the thread is of no use. Just be wise as serpent and harmless as a dove, as advised in the Bible |

9jatatafo:Problem with that is that we must want to create our own freedom and we are the only population group in human history who want to be saved. We need and, in fact, demand to be saved by external forces. Our 'unmanliness' in the face of the unknown is pathetic, and something our fellow humans view with apalled fascination. And amusement. .. 1 Like 1 Share |

well in some advanced societies 'witches' exists... but lemme explain how.. in some parts of the us, uk, austrailia and some other places in the world there is a set of people that practice the wiccan religion, they believe in existence of gods too, they belive both living and non living things has a life force , they use herbs for healing sick people etc etc, these set of people are the only ones reffered to as 'witches' in advanced societies. but the coventional idea of 'witchcraft' in which certain people achieve some effects by supernatural means is actually pure fantasy almost all advanced societies in the world has gone past the stage of belive that a wierd looking old woman in the village is responsible for your misfortunes in life and i think its high time africa moves past this stage as well. as for some nigerian dudes that practice petty tricks some of which can do a great job of fooling both believers of magic or non believers, neuroscientists have carried out severall research that has shown that the brain and the eye can be deceived to perceive what isnt real as reality.....most advanced magicians use these mechanisms for thier tricks and some locall ones use them without even knowing well as for things like stabbing pictures to kill people, they are totaly non-existent and unreal, otherwise countries wouldnt have militaries and physical weaponry 2 Likes 2 Shares |

We based our stupid belief of one spiritually head who is hell bent in misleading us.

GeneralShepherd: Lmao ... so you went to edit this post and poured a myriad of spurious information in the front page of a public forum . Finland are currently facing economic crises and her leaders are worried over this development . By the way , Finland is a Christian country though they are facing economic challenges . http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11993040/Finland-emerges-as-the-new-sick-man-of-Europe-as-euros-worst-performing-economy.html http://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/07/whats-happening-to-finland-economy/ A Nigerian who lived in Norway admitted the country is not religious as per their dedication to their faith not unbelief . The country has been a christian country and will always be . Technology has provided means of attending live church services with your mobile devices and laptops - that explains why there are low attendances in churches . Atheists here on Nairaland are pathetically distasteful in their desperate futile attempt to denigrate religion . Religion does not stop a government from advancing . It's not even long ago , the Lagos State government shut down so so many churches over noise population - this couldn't have happened if it was being influenced by Religion . You lot are vacuous entities ! 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22: You see, such people make up a major part of Nigerian population. simple question : who is a witch? and he started talking about Galatians. most people are like that. they only know what Galatians and John and Peter told them over 1,500 years ago but they can never give an intelligent answer to a simple question, from their own brain. They know where Nazareth and river Jordan is and they can write out all Jesus ancestors up to King David but they don't know the name of their great grandfather. I went to church last Sunday, the pastor wanted to say a prayer and he asked us to pray for our entire families by using the name of our grandfather. it got to a point where he had to ask those that actually knew their grandfather name to raise up they hand. not up to 15 people. Nigerians know how to sit back and call God to do everything. even when the kerosene or gas in the stove finishes they call God to allow them cook just one pot of soup cos there is no where to buy till morning Bode George goes to jail for looting and comes out to hold a full church service on a Saturday. Nobody asks questions, they all say God HAS DONE IT FOR HIM U hear your wife is having an affair, u don't take corrective measures, YOU CALL ON GOD U don't pass exam, u CALL ON GOD ur husband don't come home, u blame the witches in his village cos u heard that they don't like u there U saw dogs barking at night, u blame it on your landlady cos u been hearing that SHE TURNS TO CAT AT NIGHT but u have no idea that electromagnetic waves disturb dogs at night cos they come lower at night and dogs are sensitive to them just the way they are sensitive when u press your remote control near them Isaac Newton was born with one tooth in his mouth.

KingEbukasBlog: So you agree that Norwegians do not go to the church at least physically. We are making head way. Now you claim that this must be because of technology, how did you come to this conclusion? According to the most recent Eurobarometer Poll of 2010, 22% of Norwegian citizens responded that "they believe there is a God". 44% answered that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force". 29% answered that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God, or life force". 5% answered that they "do not know". Phil Zuckerman, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Pitzer College, estimates atheism rates in Norway as ranging from 31 to 72%, based on various studies. Keeping lying for Jesus! it seems you desperately need majority of Norwegians to believe in your imaginary God to reassure your delusions. I'm sorry to burst your bubbles! 4 Likes 1 Share |

KingEbukasBlog: I made a general statement about poor eastern European countries and it stands firm. They are generally more religious that there Scandinavian counterparts. I have shown you evidence that Norwegians identifying as Christians does not necessarily imply that they are religious.
