taurus25:let me indulge you 1- cancer is a disease of low electromagnetic vibration. stop cooking your food and eat only raw living foods and you will be cured 2-AIDS is not the disease it is made out to be. everyone has HIV antigens in them. when your immune system is run down is when the HIV is activated. you cure it by building your immune system with raw foods. cooked foods drain your bodily enzymes. raw food gives you enzymes. cooking destroys enzymes. eat raw and you will cure all diseases 3-there is no human life outside earth 4-dark matter is the higgs boson god particle and it has been found in CERN by colliding hydrogen protons. it is a very high electromagnetic frequency - the highest in our sphere. 1 Like 1 Share |

[quote author=taurus25 post=43245278]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 .

[quote author=blueAgent post=43255538][/quote] lol read your article well....who were the people accusing the children of witchcraft?? "The pastor says there's a witch in this church today, looks around and points to a child - that means public humiliation for the family,” she said. "The next step is exorcism which is not done for free. It's a money-making scam." of course the religious ones!!! are they no religous people in the uk? are some not still superstitious? infact there is still a superstition in the uk that if you dont close your mouth while sneazing the devil would enter you..lol now does this mean the whole of the country is superstitious? or even the majority of the country? |

KingEbukasBlog: The atheist has his reasons for his stance. My own reason for not being an atheist lies solely on the fact that I don't find it rational (for now), just as I don't find theism rational. I'm of the opinion that neither side (theists and atheists) knows enough to come into an indisputable conclusion. This is my logomachy. 1 Like 1 Share |

KingEbukasBlog: That is because the Chinese policy makers are atheist. To join the ruling communist party in China you must not have a religion. The Chinese government that control everything in the country is officially an atheistic government. http://www.pri.org/stories/2015-05-14/chinas-atheist-communist-government-embracing-very-capitalist-form-buddhism Ethiopia is a very religious country and has the fastest growing economy in Africa , many business reports say they'll soon upstage China . Norway is the most advanced in the world and has over 76 percent of its population identify as Christians. Norwegians are not christians, only 1 percent attend church regularly. Religion does not matter to them and has no major role in their lives. Ethiopia isn't developing because they are applying any religious principle. Invariably , atheists equate unbelief in a deity to advancement - an egregious display of ignorance , a flagrant denial in the face of facts , and should be ashamed of their futile attempts to delineate the religious as backward . Statistics after statistics have shown that the more religious the more backward a country is. Tell me why should people create space shuttles and make advances in their various aspects of life when you believe that you are not of the world, the world is just a transient place, we are living in the end time and Jesus will come during your life time for example? 6 Likes 1 Share |

stainlex: Something like this: There are two extreme ends of a pole, on the extreme right we have Theism and on the extreme left, Gnostic Atheism. Right in the middle, we have Agnosticism, then between Agnosticism and Theism, we have Deism and between Agnosticism and Atheism, we have Agnostic atheism. The Theist, is sure that God exists. The Gnostic Atheist is sure that God doesn't exist. The Agnostic, believes that it isn't possible to know whether God exists or not. The Deist believes in a First Cause God who doesn't influence the affairs of the world And finally, The Agnostic Atheist doesn't believe in God but doesn't rule out the possibility. There are still other beliefs not covered here. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

This isn't funny, man. quit joking around and tell God to tell you the real answer. sukkot: 1- cancer is a disease of low electromagnetic vibration. stop cooking your food and eat only raw living foods and you will be curedMonkeys, who eat raw foods get cancers. Also, it has been demonstrated that tumors don't give a Bleep about what kind of food you eat. a stage four breast cancer isn't going to scram once you start eating salad #WRONG 2-AIDS is not the disease it is made out to be. everyone has HIV antigens in them. when your immune system is run down is when the HIV is activated. you cure it by building your immune system with raw foods. cooked foods drain your bodily enzymes. raw food gives you enzymes. cooking destroys enzymes. eat raw and you will cure all diseasesI'm surprised our animal friends in the wild who totally eat raw aren't immortal. chimpanzees eat raw and they have half the lifespan of a human being. and yes, they do get cancer. and AIDs #WRONG 3-there is no human life outside earthTell that to the guys on the ISS. #WRONG 4-dark matter is the higgs boson god particle and it has been found in CERN by colliding hydrogen protons. it is a very high electromagnetic frequency - the highest in our sphere. [/b]Dark matter is not even remotely related to the Higgs boson. Also, No. gamma rays have the highest electromagnetic frequency. Higgs boson isn't even an electromagnetic particle. #WRONG Guys, this is the God sukkot desperately wants me to believe exists. the God that wouldn't pass the most basic of exams in either medicine or physics. A God who is asked 5 questions but responds to only 4 because it doesn't even understand the fifth question. A God who exists in the mind. No thanks. 4 Likes 4 Shares |

dalaman: Another useless counter . The Chinese remain superstitious whether they purport themselves as atheists or not . They have they fastest growing economy in the world . From the first person in government to the last plebeian entity are overly superstitious Norwegians are not christians, only 1 percent attend church regularly. Religion does not matter to them and has no major role in their lives. Ethiopia isn't developing because they are applying any religious principle. Norwegians have 76.1% of the population officially belonging to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway as recorded in 2013 . Nigerians are acclaimed to be religious yet their empty seats in Churches . Ethiopia has the fastest growing economy in Africa and will soon upstage China and claiming the application of any religious principles is an idiotic statement .They are agriculture-based and they diversify into manufacturing , textiles etc . You just murdered facts in cold blood . Interestingly , Congo is ranked third and has close to a 100 percent of its population as religious http://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/06/the-13-fastest-growing-economies-in-the-world/
Atheists claim that the human specie can be obliterated through AI Uprising , sudden asteroid attack , supervalcano , ecological collapse , nuclear war and possibly climatic change yet there are advances in various aspects of life why ? You dont seem to be a bright kind . Russia grew from a communist country into a religious one between the 1980s and 2000s and are advancing technologically . With a religious president determined to end terrorism in Putin . Interestingly , again , only 7 percent of the total population of European countries identify as atheists , 16 percent as agnostic , 2 percent as muslims and 72 percent as Christians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism 1 Like
