So?

stillwater:
I like staying alone. . .doesn't mean I'm lonely

Listen to music, read novels, play with your hair or something, you won't get lonely.

definitely still live with ur parents eh.

If a guy cheats, the first person he tells is his best friend.
I wont lie to protect my friend, i wont tell you anything either.

@Sheniqua, etc: Baby, look and tell me how the below Old Testement, New Testament verses agree with the Qur'anic verse, but then all of a sudden Trinity came to the picture?

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” (Deuteronomy 6:4)

It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus when he said “, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord.” (Mark 12:29)

The Great Prophet came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again:

“And your God is One God: there is no God but He, ” (The Great Book 2:163)

And where is the truth of of the New testament, except that its all lies? The Biblical lies? Baby, am waiting? You gotta proof your bonafides!

it all sounds so rosy until we dig deeper to ask the pertinent question . . . what "God" is being referred to in both the bible and the qoran? Certainly not the same "God".

Vicjustice:
I'm not one of a faceless character, and i see no reason why anyone should gnash his teeth about what i feel like doing. If you're that faceless, then, keep it to yourself. No offence intended. OK?

hush, no point bristling over a non issue. No one is gnashing his teeth over what you "feel like doing" . . . there are people here who call the places you have illegally emigrated to home . . . they don't come splashing their photos all around.
This is not about trying not to be faceless . . . its about shameless self promoting.

the children will most likely stare. Many Nigerian kids never get to see foreigners except on Tv so its always a thing of amazement to see one up close. The novelty wears off after a couple of days and u become "the oyinbo next door".

sometimes you just have to wonder if this is about photos of great cities or another opportunity for vicjustice to launder his image.

you'll be treated like royalty.

I remember the first white guy that visited our home, i was only 8yrs old then . . . my brothers and i used to go peep at him just to wonder at his skin color and nose.  Imagine our amazement when we finally discovered he ate (we thot he was a god!) Oh for the days of ignorance.

Nigerians are very welcoming to visitors . . . u shld enjoy a good time there. Welcome to Nigeria.

these are just horrible . . . no stage presence, no vocal talent.

that's if Yar a Ill lives long enough to bring exciting times.

be realistic peeps, the day i love a woman so bad it hurts just being away from her . . . aha i know i just struck gold.

Like I said, muuuslims have generic answers to everything. You have generic assumptions and when clarified on the issue, you still stick to your assumption because that is the only "truth" that you hold. Your truth is doubt.

Excellent statement, that has never been in doubt.
Ask them a question and all of them repeat the very same lies as if on clockwork.

A-40:
I think those girls are past their prime especially my baby momma Serena.I fancy either Sharapova or Ivanovic

My feeling too. Venus is even worse.
Its about time they quit for something else.

Not seeing the face of the woman you married? how do they have sex? thru a hole in the wall?

She didnt have to lie, she could just have easily married another man . . . however the issue is not really about her "lies" but about the fact that judging by her moslem background that lie probably saved her from being just another statistic of honor killings.

Serena lost again . . . becoming a staple now eh. Venus wont go farther than the quarter finals.
Marat Safin is no longer much of a threat, 28 . . . he's just playing to make some more cash and enjoy the game.

Sharapova, Ivanovic now have a good chance of winning this.

Nadal is just imperious!! Flogged Niemenen 6-1, 6-3, 6-1

KAG:
intellectual dishonesty must be a staple element in that ambiguous "christian principles" thing.

I'm out; thanks for your time.

if there's any intellectual dishonesty it is from those who erroneously/mischievously assumed "in God we trust" was not used in the US until 1956 and those who dishonestly reference the "treaty of tripoli" to show the US was not founded on christian religion (it wasnt founded as a theocracy).

thanks for ur time too.

African foods may have a lot of fat but we generally burn most of it off.

Blacks are more susceptible to high blood pressure and atherosclerosis but that is predominantly among blacks in advanced nations who live sedentary lifestyles.

KAG:
Well, this has certainly developed into redundancy. Good showing.

especially as you cant really defend your position beyond posting sarcastic ripostes.

huxley:
Which of these from the Bible are christian principle?

1) Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death. Exodus 21: 17

Jewish laws may appear in the bible but are not necessarily christian principles.
One example - the jews celebrate the feast of passover till tomorrow as expressly commanded them in the bible, christians do not.
One more example - jews celebrate the feast of Purim (book of Esther), celebrate 50yr jubilees . . . none of these pertain to the christian as we are not jewish.

The ability to correctly identify what laws pertain to the jew (as a nation) and what pertains to the christian (as a member of the body of Christ) is critical to understanding several of these questions you ask NOT for clarification but for derision.

huxley:
2) Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:18, NIV)

Love is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, the death on the cross symbolises the greatest love that any man could have for a friend.

huxley:
3) Stone a woman who is not a virgin on her wedding day

again, a tribal jewish law that has nothing to do with christianity.

huxley:
4) Do not defend yourself against evil. Instead turn the other cheek (the one on your face, not the one on your bottom; in case your are a Catholic priest)

the bible says nothing about catholic priests.
The bible speaks so many times in parables . . . turning the other cheek is symbolism for the 2nd question you asked earlier and not literarily refering to the cheek on ur face.

huxley:
5) Make no plans for the morrow

Again another wrongly applied parable . . . the same bible says . . . he that will not work (or plan) will not eat.

Dano (powdered).

KAG:
Oh, I thought your argument was to show that the USA was founded on Christian prinicples", not that 100 years later some coins bore reference to a god and Washington perhaps said something about the Christian god and the Bible. I guess not.

Do we still know what Christian principles means?

more roundabout discourse saying nothing of substance. God was an integral part of the lifestyle of the men who drafted the US constitution and served as its founding leaders.

As for christian principles? Pls read the bible.

huxley:
What are christian principles and where are they in US legislative documents?

The founding fathers of the US were smart enough to understand that not every citizen would subscribe to the christian faith. They realised that the foundation of a modern state was to keep religion separate from state . . . HOWEVER there is no shying away from the FACT that those devout men who put America on its feet relied heavily on their christian faith. Such is evident from their various writings.

You will not find christian doctrine in legislative documents of the US, it was not founded as a theocracy.

huxley:
What are Christian Principles? Are any such principles, such as may exist, enshrined in the US constitution, or in any principal legislative documents of the US?

What does it mean "to found a state on Christian Principles"?

If your thesis is correct, then no sooner had they founded the US on Christian principle than they embark on the following christian acts;

1) Enslave millions of African (Not condemned in the Christian text)
2) War civil against each other
3) Enslave and ethnically cleanse huge tracks of land of the native America just like their Christian forebears did to the Canaanites, Hittites, etc
4) Drive to near extinction some native animals
etc
etc

Admittedly, Americans have learnt from some of the mistakes of the past. But how could a country founded on so called christian principle immediately disintegrate into war and slavery?

Thank goodness for some of the leading lights of freedom like Thomas Paine, etc.

1. Did the communist states (supposedly athiest) like Russia (Stalin), China fare any better? Christianity does not gloss over the fact that as humans we will make mistakes.

2. "leading lights" of freedom? Thomas Paine moved to France in 1781 and did not return to the US until 1802. To parrot the lie that he was more instrumental to the founding of the US beyond writing inflammatory pamphlets is to pander to your own propaganda.

KAG:
I don't think it was widely used, and the country was founded well before 1863.

Sorry, it was widely used on US coins as early as 1863. Considering how common coins are i'd wager pretty much every school kid as at that time was familiar with the motto. The country was founded in 1776 not 1863 (a moot point): but since you choose to pursue the matter . . .

President George Washington, September 17th, 1796 "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible"

KAG:
What are Christian principles? "In God we Trust" was added a few decades ago as, IIRC, a response to the "Red scare"

You're not really seeking an answer so i will pass on that.
In God we trust - became official US motto in 1956 but had been widely in use as early as 1863.

Below is an 1864 US coin

@Davidylan:
Thank God that you finally declared that prior to the Israelites' arrival in the land named Israel, Judaism was not their religion. You have simply stated what the Qu.your'a.n had stated all along. It is very interesting therefore to remind everyone that Moses never practiced Judaism. Rather he practiced the same religion that all prophets practiced before him.

What was this ambigous "religion" and pls tell us with proof . . . what qu'ran were these "prophets" reading? At least Moses had the Torah which is the very basis of Judaism.

And as powerful as the airforce was, they could not defeat a handful of ill organized militias just 2 summers ago.

The "ill organized militias" have one thing going for them, they hide behind children, in mosques and residential areas. The only way to defeat them is to destroy the entire Lebanon . . . with hypocrites like you ready to scream "massacre" at every single ant killed by an IDF tank its tough to see how Israel could have defeated hezbollah.

olabowale:
I wonder where you place the US Airforce? I wonder where will the military powerfulness of Israel be, without the USA?

Israel did not require US expertise to develop nuclear weapons.

olabowale:
And before 5000 years ago, there was no knowledge of Israel and its bloodline. A time that is such a mere yesterday, when it is put in the context of the time man has been on earth!

Neither was there any knowledge of arabs and their bloodline.

olabowale:
Didn't I argue with you on your wrong assumption that USA was founded on Christian principles? You need a lesson in US History.

It is you who needs a lesson in US history . . . care to tell me how IN GOD WE TRUST came about?
