highmey: Hmmm...

From my observations so far, most people are in religion (especially xtians and Muslims) cos:
1. They were born into the religion.
2. They are scared of been sent to hell.
3. They have no idea of what awaits them after death.

I'm very sure, if men lives for ever, no one will be religious.

Following this thread, it's so educative!

JerryBerry: From your username and your posts, it is observable that you are a pyschopath. Yes! You can continue your campaign of exchange of bovine tantrums in the "family section", you mustn't extend it to the "religion section".

CLUELESS APOLOGIST

Go, tell your deity that you've failed.

JerryBerry: Haughty apologist!

Martian: No I'm not troubled because it's not "all mythology" that have the mud aspect. If you look at Art, the earliest forms we have evidence for are either drawings or molded sculptures. So we can deduce that people in different cultures gave their ability to create molded sculptures to the deities they created. Hence, god made people out of mud just like people made things out of mud.

What truth was well known? Besides, not all cultures have mud people stories.

What is "God Almighty"? Does it have the same characteristics as The Great Leprechaun?

Well, this "Almighty" guy can get on Youtube, Faceboook, Twitter, Instagram, CNN, FOX News. Al Jazeera, CCCN, C-SPAN, NTA, AIT, MSNBC, ESPN,,...............................MySpace. etc and make himself known.

qstar: Stop projecting your thought as though it's one new invention. You are yet to start thinking.

If you believe in a supreme God, it is called "monotheism".

But, you've got to go inside your house and analyse how these gods are one and the same. One, originated life at ile-ife, another in the garden of eden and later had a son,

Stop derailing the thread, thought the OP invited atheists.

qstar: Then you've got to be a polytheist. I am sorry if your position was misunderstood.

qstar: See here, list of creation myths.

The reason you dismiss others as fables, is the same reason i dismiss yours. For science to accept any, is to throw in the towel.

cococandy: I could take a whole day but not do justice to this question.

*You do know that first and foremost,the mindset and opinion is that women are beneath men. That alone is something the needs to be corrected.

Legally?. Is there a law that protects women from abusive men? If there is,it only comes into play when the woman is dead or raped.
Other instances of assualt are dismissed as family matter.

Legally? An African country just passed a law that permits men to take other wives if they wish without their wives' consents. That's not legal oppression?

Most guys will tell you they don't want a woman at the pinacle of her career because she must have been thru' hell to get there. Why do they say so? Because they know the nigerian society is one that requires you to work your way up to the top of the ladder on your back with your legs spread. Not because you aren't qualified but because you can be made to forfeit whatever it is you pursue so badly.
Is anything being done about this?
No. The guys cover the others up and intimate assults keeps on increasing. There's hardly any woman who's made it to the top that didn't get there by hiding behind a powerful man to protect her against the predators.

You know females can't inherit property in some parts of our dear country?

*some females aren't allowed education and their own choices in the upper part of Nigeria. But I guess it's ok because their religion permits it.
Not so?

EnlightenedSoul: It was absolutely and terribly wrong for the guy to be forced into sex. That is called rape/ sexual assault! But when you say "imagine if it was female", I'm not moved. She would most assuredly be asked about what she was wearing, criticized for allowing herself to be raaped, offered a "poor thing" or a useless prayer. The rape_ of women is run of the mill thing so much so that it only conjures at best mild sympathy on here, and no real outrage.

Also, I'm not in support of what Solange did. I do not condone physical violence of any kind. He could've and should've pressed charges, but he didn't for whatever reason. Similar to the above, you do realize that violence against women is also far more commonplace, and also conjures mild sympathy, and oftentimes blames the woman for being hit! Maybe we should blame Jay Z also. Maybe he had it coming? Smh

I don't say women do not commit crimes, but what kind of crimes and why? Don't deceive yourself. Notice the glaring difference in what these crimes are, the scale, and who they're committed against. These disgusting stories are so commonplace, it's no longer shocking.

Saying you stand for femininity is like me saying I stand for masculinity lol. That's a given! It has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Martian: I'm not an atheist because I don't have a reason to affirm or deny the existence of mythical creatures.
God or Gods are only found in the myths and legends of cultures, and every god that I've ever heard of is always partial to the culture that worshipped or worship it.

As is well known, the ubiquitous nature of the three desert religions is the result of wars, slavery and colonialism.
After performing the resurrection trick in ancient Israel, Jesus didn't crawl out of another virgin's a$$ in Umuahia and repeat the trick for the Igbos. No! Some europeans had to get the story first, then bring it to Africa at the point of a sword. Likewise, the Europeans didn't know about a God named Chukwu before they met the igbos.

Each story about a god sounds as far fetched as the next, so why place one culture on a pedestal and call their bullshit story factual??

Afterall, Obatala created humans from the mud in Ile-Ife, Yahweh created the first human from mud in the Garden of Eden, Zeus and the Olympians lived on Mt. Olympus, which just happens to be the biggest mountain known to the ancient Greeks.

Why should I consider Yahweh a Jewish myth, Zeus a Greek myth but Obatala has the creator of the world and everything we see?

Why do people take Obatala as a god created in the minds of ancient Yoruba spiritualists and why do people view the Greek gods as creations of clever Greek writers; but Yahweh is not the creation of some ancient Jews??

In my opinion,if there is a being responsible for what we call the universe, that being would be out of the scope of our intellectual abilities. We won't be able to discern its existence unless it makes itself or themselves known.

cococandy: This part may be true for some societies.
But not Africa and Nigeria in particular.
Maybe if I lived in the west,I wouldn't be so passionate about it.

But anyone who asks how females are oppressed here is not being sincere.
Or maybe has never lived here.

EnlightenedSoul: Good to hear

I am new to the section, but I don't see the double standards or problems in the OP. Point them out?

So you admit the " cherry-pickers" are "pseudo" and not true to generally accepted idea on what feminism is, right?

Why are NL men so up in arms about equality like its such a terrible thing for their counterparts to gain a footing in our African societies, and thereby improve our condition as a whole?

Yesterday an 11 year old girl made FP for being rape-d repeatedly by a grown monster 3 times her age. Last week, it was a women who killed her way out of a forced marriage to an abuser. Who is really causing the messes?

I hope by eye candy, you don't mean me and expect me to upload. Nor do I hope you expect me to go searching for eye candy women to post for your benefit. I'm positive you're capable Onnila has beauty threads, this isn't one of them

I welcome discourse

Which stalker?

Sophyrocks: Thank you jare!! Better person wey e head dey work well. she is actally speaking for men.

8. Kicking Him When He's Down - Did you forget how supportive and generous your man was when you were dealing with family issues, struggling through school, had little or no money to pay for school fees, buy clothes, toiletries, food and etc. and everything in between? Yet the minute your man is faced with job loss or some other life-altering event that causes him to lose his income, you are quick to badmouth him to your family and friends. Isn't turnabout fair play? If you have always been treated well by your man and, he's proven to be a hard worker and faithful to the core, why can't you support him, if you're capable of doing so, when he needs it most? Surely you can't be that selfish - could you?

cococandy: Am I on the same thread?
I was thinking the tone is otherwise.
As in the don't-do-these-things-if-you-love-your-man kind of tone?

MizMyColi: Methinks its a practice for the uncultured. There should be an appropriate place for that.

ifyalways: Were you tete-a-tete-ing with Seun's babe?


When you try to eat food meant for the chairman, unexplainable akwukwu (epiliepsy) will catch your mouth

crackhaus: You realize you could have just sent a mail and get unbanned right?
Unless you just feel like clowning around..

cococandy: Manage this account for now.
You seem to be everywhere.
Let the banned one get some fresh air.
