Reno sometimes you too de childish. All this low resolution thinking is consistent with one that can barley see beyond "states". Religion is how the poor man makes sense of his world. From a social science perspective everything is about social order. If there is prefered order enough, Who are you to judge the method via which a group arrive at it. Respect it. No society burn or kill witches than the whites in the mid centuries. The Jesus he so mention teaching about wealth was a Carpenters son from Nazareth..so wetin he de talk?. if you want people to respect wealth then don't look down on their poverty. Praise them for having fortitude to manage such hard conditions. they are more stronger than you mentaliy, physically and spiritually..no be rake. At individual level, "i go die" is a poor artist but no amount of education can produce the talent he manage from the getho. Poverty has a way and method it teaches. May be harsh but it what it is. I respect my journey. It's what it is. 1 Like |

[s] Truthissupreme:[/s] shege polytheist trinitarian pagan hypocrite you have run away from my numerous challenges and you are here trying to twist facts I'll expose you here also Your bible teaches us to rape girls as young as 3years...we have it in the bible ...and virgins wrre also promised to Xtians in the Bible Virgins in Matthew 19:29 says Christians will be given 100 wives to make love with: "And every one that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife (ἤ γυναῖκα), or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundred times more, and shall inherit everlasting life." Pulpit Commentary Verse 29. - ....." Some manuscripts, followed by some modern editors, omit or wife, the omission being probably first made by some critical scribe, who deemed that a wife should never be left. The Lord enumerates the persons and objects upon which men's hearts are most commonly and firmly fixed. He begins and ends the list with material possessions - houses and lands, and between them introduces in gradation the most cherished members of the family circle. "Forsaking wife and children" may be understood as abstaining from marriage in order the better to serve God. For my Name's sake. In consequence of belief in Christ, rather than do despite to his grace, or in order to confess and follow him more completely........ An hundredfold. Some read "manifold," as in Luke 18:30. The spiritual relationship into which religion would introduce him largely compensates for the loss of earthly connections. He shall have brothers and sisters in the faith - hundreds who will show him the affection of father and mother, hundreds who will love him as well as wife and children. .......... The hope of future happiness is in itself sufficient to lighten and dissipate all earthly troubles, and to stimulate severest sacrifices." This verse is a proof that the bible is altered according to scribes' own desires. More and more we hear of ignorance from Christians like you who criticize Islam for claiming that Paradise will have physical pleasures in it similar to the ones that we have here on earth. Personally, I've heard cheap comments before about the 70 Houris for men in Heaven and how the Prophet, peace be upon him, "promised Hot desert men" sex in Paradise. Bashing is easy, and believe me, nothing is easier than bashing the gospel of porn bible for claiming that women's vaginas and breasts taste like "wine", and that sisters can look lustfully at their biological brothers and wish to have sex with them in bed. Note: The exact number of 70 Houris is not mentioned in the Noble Quran. It is only mentioned in the Hadiths (collections of the Sayings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him). But Houris were mentioned in the Noble Quran. So the number is most likely true, even though the Hadiths were collected centuries after the natural death of the Prophet. In other words, the possibility of the Hadith being corrupt (most of the Bible is mostly corrupt), is slim because the Noble Quran supports the narration by mentioning the Houris as shown. |

Well, poverty is just a minut fraction of the whole issue. It mostly has to do with security and safety of life and properties. Imagine in a second anything can just happened to you in Nigeria and you Lost everything from the boxer you put on to what you cherish most, family members.

After salvation through sincere faith in Christ Jesus is settled, there is a need to build up with sincere Word of God,.. looking unto Jesus, our perfect example and the author and finisher of our faith. Unfortunately, many in Nigeria are fed with insufficient or poisoned bread. The result is empty religion or 'churchiness' which doesn't guarantee salvation or anything good here on earth and in heaven. To a great extent, Reno is correct on this. Life outside Christ is total darkness and separation from eternal bliss. 1 Like |

Truthissupreme:All the aforementioned silly allegations you make have been dealt with with concrete facts and evidence! They are ntn but delusional things which when i expose you... you'll realize how dumb and backward your sources of Polemics are... Islam have triumph over xtianity for long...itnis you wicked shamefull pagans that are not aware.... The sources of your lies are expired ones...you cant use them anywhere expect hidden online in shame... Xtianity is dead and burried! Shamefull Christians were the source of some of the worst lies and distortions about Islam should come as no surprise, since Islam was its main "competitor" on the stage of World Religions. Far from honouring the commandment not to bear false witness against one's neighbour, Christians distortions and outright lies about Islam and Prophet Muhammad were widespread. Starting from John of Damascus to the modern day missionaries little has been changed as far as the content is concerned. I am ready to will deal with any of your Propaganda of the Christian missionary polemics of the past and present. If you are courageous enough kindly invite me to an open debate!! And see how I'll show you pepper and disgrace your entire books |

He is probably right but looks more like making mockery of religion & the poor. So many people in life are passing through overwhelming challenges & it is not out of place to seek some comfort by getting close to your creator via religion. Even the rich are faced with challenges too & also seek refuge in same religion. The major criticism should go to religious leaders who exploit the often vulnerable members. 1 Like 1 Share |

Still so hard for folks to distinguish between Christianity and religion. Topic for another day. To the discourse, humans were created for God's pleasure and purposes and will forever have that natural inclination to worship Him and contrary to what Mr. Reno has posited, many folks find it a lot easier to worship God, attend services, participate in church activities, when they're a lot comfortable financially and have less to worry about. It's my experience that when the credit alerts increase and bills get settled without stress, I am easily able to create time to attend extra church programs, because of the reduced hustling time. Majority of folks who attend church services these days are very comfortable financially. There was never a boom in church attendance in the days when the saying; "as poor as a church rat" prevailed. The attendance boom came with the prosperity insights and experience of today's glorious church. That said, poverty is what actually drives people away from worshipping God as they tend to seek other means to overcome it. An hungry man will hardly be able to observe morning devotions talk more of the fare and other expenses of attending church services. Poor folks are even scared of offering time during services. The church has been doing a great job especially in Africa, giving people hope, changing their lots through spiritual principles that deliver them from poverty, hence doing what most African Government's have been unable to do. The continued triumphs of the church in Africa is the only reason the continent isn't up in flames right now. You may say there's so much corruption but if not for messages from the altar of God, changing people's attitudes, it would have spiralled out of control. The folks who travel out and forget God isn't because they're more comfortable, it's more often than not because they're working 2/3 jobs to keep up with being second class citizens in a foreign land, where bills must be settled to continue to enjoy infrastructure provided by the Government. Lakewood church, The Potter's House and many other churches in the US are megachurches populated by vibrant young and rich folks. So, next time you're looking to blame anything, blame your governments. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lol, most Christians in Nigeria don't really give a fvck about their god or really care enough to follow the commandments of the Christian doctrine. Most of them do things which are forbidden in Christianity on a daily basis. But because they have problems they'd like to be solved, issues they want to clear and money they'd want to have, you'll see them praying, going to church and paying tithes and all that. In reality, they don't follow their doctrines. Take them abroad where 90% of their problems are solved and they'll become less religious, or care less about going to church. Na poverty dey make people open 12 churches for one street. 2 Likes |

MrColdsweat:Have you ever seen a Muslim bumb into a Christian article and insult you or Jesus? Do any Muslim care about your existence or satanic way?NO "Muslims are terrible", they claim. "Muslims are terrorists" But I bet you, if you click the reaction to any bad symphatetic news report online, you will not find one Muslim reacting with a laughing emoji. They are happy that terrorism and killings are taking place in the country they are happy that police officers are killed. They always showcase their attitudes of lack of manners and home training. These same people will on the next trend claim Islam is a religion of violence and Muslims are violent. When you curse a person, the curse goes up to the heavens and return to you if the person is undeserving of it. All the insults on Prophet Muhammad,(PBUH) the Muslim community received during the Boko Haram insurgency has gone up to the heavens and came back to those who cursed us and they have all gone mad. 3-4 year's ago, nobody would have thought that some people in the South-East would take up arms and start mindlessly killing people, cutting off heads and then come on social media to celebrate and laugh over it. During the EndSARS uprising of fools, police officers were killed in the South, but in the East, they did not just kill officers, most of the ones they killed they mutilated and decapitated them thereafter. The only thing they did not do was to roast and eat them like the Sallah day massacre in Plateau in 2011 when some Plateau youths attacked worshippers on Eid day, killed, roasted and eat the dead bodies. It's just a matter of time, they will start eating the dead bodies of their victims as the curse spreads. It does not matter your grievances with a person or a people, if evil befalls them you cannot afford to be happy about it. To be happy for evil makes you evil. I can say I hate the "State of Israel" because I consider it a racist and apartheid entity, but if calamity befalls its citizens, I can not be happy. Your hate should be measured. Boko Haram became the monster it is not because Muslim scholars did not denounce their ideology, they did and some were killed for doing that. The ideology of hate and bigotry in the South East is there mostly because Christian leaders in the country encouraged it with their anti-North and anti-Muslim sermons and conspiracy theories. If this post offends you, I am sorry that is not my intention. If you are still angry after the apology, then I can not help you. |
