to the fights in here..

I think some of we Nigerian christians need to just accept atheism..honestly..

and thanks to "over emphasis on religion" we can't even accept someone in another domain now imagine belief

The fights in this thread is what worries me most and it "burdening" really

lol @over religiosity

In Naija, evrybori is a Pastor/ Deacon/ Evangelist wit no proof. Wen, it comes to money matters n I hear u no I'm a man of God, alarm bells start ringing. Me, I don't hav a problem if u call God from morn to night but wen unbelievers r better behaved than u, it makes me shudder.

Some of the over doin that annoy the heck out of me:

1. Not reading for exams n claiming God's promises. There was one chick in the uni, she'd miss classes n be tellin me that she has to God's work in final yr o. During exams, she'll start copying n I'm thinking does doing God's work give u a rt to cheat.

2. Blaming everythin on d devil n attacks: Not sayin dr's no devil o, but wt bout wen the non religious person is workin hard, u loafing around then turn round to start binding.

3. Passing off ur personal opinion as spiritual advise. Na so insult they start, mtchewww

buzugee: first off it is not a religion. it is a lifestyle. religion is man made invention

secondly, you worship the lord by loving your fellow man. that doesnt sound like idolatry to me. if i feed a beggar or if i help a widow fetch water from the well, or if i help an old man go get his medicine because he is wheelchair bound etc etc. these are how the lord wants you to worship him. any other extra stuff like gathering together in your best sunday attire and whatnot ? that is all man made. see if you read the bible properly you would know all these things. and i aint talking about only the new testament neither. start from Job and work your way through the major prophets like isaiah, jeremiah, ezekiel, daniel, then on down to joel, hosea, malachi, nahum, habbakuk, micah etc etc and then all the new testament. the old testament, especially the book of jeremiah is anti-pastors

And where has anyone seen you loving your fellow man? When you threaten a fellow nairalander to roast in 10000 degerees fire for simply having a different opinion.

And reading from your bible, I guess commiting genocides in the name of the lord or because the "lord cammandedth" is a solid example of loving your fellow man, huh?

You are all schitzophrenic.

buzugee: Bruh, the bible is not a religion. it is a book of history and prophesys and a manual of instruction in how to live. if you buy a fridge it comes with a manual of instruction. same with a tv and a computer. so why do you think the creator of man will not give us a manual of instruction in how to eat, live, dress etc ? all those are in the bible. how to eat, dress, live, treat each other and the repercussion of not treating each other well. thats all the bible is. a manual of instruction. out of this manual of instruction, when the romans took control of the world they used these scrolls to form religions so as to divide and conquer people. the romans formed the religion christianity and roman catholicism and islam. gerrit ? so religion as a whole whether it is christianity or islam or buddhism etc are all man made rubbish.

Written by whom and for whom? Constantine and the other bloodthirsty bishops/politicians at the council of Nicea, or by the irrational Iraneus of Leon, or was it father Eusebius, the grand-daddy of pius forgery and fraud?

Exactly at the bolded and coloured. Religion tells people that god is the one that determines what will be and that what ever effort they(religionist) put into their life doesn't matter since god is the one that giveth and taketh. Its just all about living your life in self denial

I dunno, if u don't hustle, how's God goin bless ur hustle. The annoyin stuff is that it's not Biblical which brings us back to ur 1st post - reading the Bible wit understanding. Provs 6 talks bout the sluggard n asks the sluggard to learn from the ant in not so nice words. Go to the ant thou sluggard...how long will thou sleep. There's anoda verse that says the sluggard is evn 2 lazy to put food in his mouth n d one I like best -He that's slothful in his work is brother to him that's a great destroyer.

i might be wrong but I think that wen the Prosperity movement started in Naija, a lot of emphasis was placed on confessions n mayb sowin n somehow hardwork n its attendant benefits were neglected. With churches like Pstr Poju's n Daystar, it appears to be gettin betta. Don't wanna bore u since u hate long winded churchy stuff tongue

Can't argue for religion but my Bible don't tell me stuff like dt - It says be not deceived, God is not mocked wteva a man soweth that'll he reap. If u sow to the flesh, u'll reap corruption.

eventhough you are athiest I agree on that part..

Nigerians have replaced responsibility and reality to " its in God's hands", it just get me mad when I go to Church or any christian meeting with my parents and i see irresponsible people blaming DEvil for the acts..

even God would love Responsibility he said " faith without works is dead"

ok i see where you are coming from. but what the colonial masters did was part of biblical prophesy. jeremiah 2 vs 14, habakkuk 1 vs 12, job 24 vs 5. all biblical prophesy for which they will wish they hadnt done because they will be recompensed double for what they did. numbers 35 vs 33, genesis 9 vs 6, revelation 13 vs 10, revelation 22 vs 18, galatians 6 vs 7. so dont worry about what the 'colonial masters' who are edomites did. they are about to be slaves in the kingdom of heaven we shall possess them as slaves revelation 13 vs 10, isaiah 14 vs 2, jeremiah 30 vs 16 and 17, lamentations 4 vs 21 and 22. there is a method to the madness. the edomite was set above us for correction.psalms 17 vs 13 HABAKKUK 1 VS 12.

OH AND REPROBATE DOES NOT MEAN INFERIOR. IT MEANS A SINFUL PERSON.

that is the same thing innit? when one person regards the other as sinful. Since one with sin is not allowed to judge, anyone who uses it sees himself as sinless hence the other person is inferior.

as for the verses, I'll look them up tomao. im tired lol

I guess you can see it that way which would make the colonial masters hypocrites for thinking of their victims as inferior and as such i wouldnt even attach any gravity to the mindset of a thieving killing hypocrite towards his victims. you shouldnt even regard or consider the mindset of the hypocrite and view parallel situations with the hypocrites mindset. that smacks of inferiority complex. you should be able to view situations standalone without projecting to other peoples mindset, not especially the mindset of a killing stealing scumbag.

hey take your time with the scriptures. those are gems. only read them in king james version too.

Come on will you take this trash and stick it up your bamboozled, colonised asssss.

The earth came with instruction manual. So why did your instruction manual not reach our shores until barely 200 years ago when the white man decided he needed resources and land to steal? In over 5000 years of our existence in West Africa, where was your instruction manual that 'came with the earth' via your oyibo master? So your so called all powerful bible God was so impotent (or racist) he could not transmit his manual direct to Africans, when the manual was first 'published'? He had to wait another 3,000 years before his 'specially chosen oyibo people' decided they needed slaves before we finally got the ''manual'' abi?

This is why we say you colonised idiots need to give it a rest. Only when you begin to employ your brains should any of us take you seriously. Olodo rabata.

The rantings of a myopic- carnal minded- pugnacious- im-becile. the answer to all the issues you raised is in the bible. if only you can get past admiring the pictures and actually focus on the text, you wouldnt have shown your azz as a non-reading heathen.

So, in your wisdom, you think we humans should read the bible to learn how to do the most basic things of modern life like eat, live, dress etc? How many people actually need the bible for all that? Only you, apparently. I definitely do not need that vile book to learn how to live a normal life. Experience teaches most people how to live and do those basic things that you mentioned in this existence, not the bible.

You are even farther out there in your thinking than i originally thought. So, without the bible, you wouldn't know how to talk, walk, eat, sleep, drink, operate computers(lol!), listen to music, read a book, use a telephone, get on a bus, on a plane, drive a car.... shocked

Dude, someone needs to put you on a time machine and send you back to year 4000 bce, since you and i feel you don't belong in this era.
