gratiaeo: It shall be well with Nigeria

no it won't.

egift: May god punish all those drumming the sound of war and beating their rusty chest, while hiding behind their free MB.

Nigeria will come out victorious. The labour of our Past Heroes shall not be in vain.

wishful thinking.

i think doG is afraid of shekau.

polishing my ogbunigwe.

I still don't know why I keep clicking on this thread.

Wao. I never knew this day would come. Nobody complaining.

There is always the number 7 in all these crashed or missing aircrafts.

This one is CSI Oshogbo.

Apatheist: They do not use that much eggs from the woman.
They take as low as possible, then culture them.
I don't think it's all the eggs that get fertilized.

It's not what you think.

Here are the facts. Doctors take as many eggs as possible from a woman. Average 15. They fertilize as many as possible. Then they implant at least three inside the womb.

So for a hundred women, more than 1000 embroyos are created. At least 300 embryos are implanted. About half of them survive. Then about 120 are aborted to avoid multiple births.

Read up instead of assuming things.

Apatheist: What are your concerns?

The high number of embryos destroyed during IVF.

striktlymi: I wouldn't have a problem with the OP it did a good job in demonstrating that Jesus was indeed a drug addict. To demonstrate that one is addicted to anything, we would need to show that:

1) the individual has a strong love for the object of his/her addiction.
2) the individual's attachment to it is habitual to the extent that it becomes an obsession.

None of the above criteria for addiction was shown in the OP. All the OP has are speculations, personal opinions, hearsay without a shred of proof etc. At best Carl Ruck is only trying his hands on mischief. I wonder how he became a Professor.

The bolded coming from a xtian is the height of hypocrisy.

Apatheist: No, it doesn't work like that.

How does it work?

Apatheist: Read the link.
The first statistics is for when the woman is not using her own eggs, and it is dependent on her age.
The second is when she's using her own eggs and it is not dependent on age.

You are still confusing things.

Let me illustrate what we are saying.

If 100 women go for IVF, statistically, 30 of them will end up giving birth. But they must have created 380 embryos. So 350 embryos is destroyed.

You get it now?

Apatheist: My apologies.
It seems I misunderstood.

Also, the success rate is actually 30%, depending on the woman's age.

www.infertility.about.com/od/ivf/f/ivf_success.htm

You are confusing two separate statistics.

The success rate you quoted is the percentage of women that succeed in getting pregnant through IVF.
My rate was the percentage of embryos in IVF that actually result in pregnancy.

In ancient times cannabis was widely cultivated throughout the Middle East. It grows like a weed and provides nourishing seed, which is also a good source of fibre used to make rope.

...

Ancient people were fascinated by herbs and their healing powers and knew much more about them than we do; at least about mixing herbs to release their potency.

Ancient wines were always fortified, like the "strong wine" of the Old Testament, with herbal additives: opium, datura, belladonna, mandrake and henbane. Common incenses, such as myrrh, ambergris and frankincense are psychotropic; the easy availability and long tradition of cannabis use would have seen it included in the mixtures. Modern medicine has looked into using cannabis as a pain reliever and in treating multiple sclerosis. It may well be that ancient people knew, or believed, that cannabis had healing power.

...

So, did Jesus use cannabis? I think so. The word Christ does mean "the anointed one" and Bennett contends that Christ was anointed with chrism, a cannabis-based oil, that caused his spiritual visions. The ancient recipe for this oil, recorded in Exodus, included over 9lb of flowering cannabis tops (known as kaneh-bosem in Hebrew), extracted into a hin (about 11 pints) of olive oil, with a variety of other herbs and spices. The mixture was used in anointing and fumigations that, significantly, allowed the priests and prophets to see and speak with Yahweh.

Residues of cannabis, moreover, have been detected in vessels from Judea and Egypt in a context indicating its medicinal, as well as visionary, use. Jesus is described by the apostle Mark as casting out demons and healing by the use of this holy chrism. Earlier, from the time of Moses until the later prophet Samuel, holy anointing oil was used by the shamanic Levite priesthood to receive the "revelations of the Lord". The chosen ones were drenched in this potent cannabis oil.

Early Christian documents found in Eygpt, thought to be a more accurate record than the New Testament, portray Jesus as an ecstatic rebel sage who preached enlightenment through rituals involving magical plants. Indeed, Bennett goes so far as to say that Jesus was probably not born the messiah but acquired the title when he was anointed with cannabis oil by John the Baptist. The baptism in the Jordan was probably to wash away the oil after it had done its work. The early Christians fought hard for followers in the ancient world, recognising the similarity of their own "foreign" god and his eucharistic meal to the Greek gods. Various sects and even the elite in what would eventually become the Roman Catholic church probably used the full range of available entheogens for baptism, ordination and the eucharistic meal.

Firefire: Satan will punish the sponsors one day, just one day.

some useless elements here take joy in seeing blood and quick to point fingers. Devil has your name.

Now you need Satan eh?

If you want His help, stop insulting Him.

TheBigUrban2: Striklymi is just dodging.


As usual, his unintelligent christian views have exposed him as someone who doesnt know what he is talking about.


embryo death

Stop shaming atheists.

Apatheist: Mention the wrong part(s) of my comment.

this:

So I do not understand what ivf has to do with death of embryo.

Now to your question: sperm can die during ivf, it also happens during wet dreams.

Statistically, only 8% of fertilized eggs end up in actual pregnancy. More than 90% are destroyed. This is what bothers striktly.

He never said anything about sperm dying.

Onyegecha: When i talk about God, i don't have a person in mind. I think of the entity or entities that powered this universe. I don't believe that everything we see just appeared by accident. There is too much order in the world for such to be possible. So i believe we have a creator or creators although no one can say with any measure of certainty what he, she or they look like.

the Anunnaki.

frosbel: I am liberating people from religion and showing them the way back to God.

I am still a staunch follower and believer in Jesus Christ but not in the way you guys follow him.

Welcome to the flock my brother. Religion is pure evil fraud. The only way to the true Lord is through Logic.
Praises! He has done it again.

Reyginus: Frankly speaking, I don't think it is. The problem is that we have a wrong understanding of the word 'Logic'.

A thing is logical, I think, when it respects the mechanism it is supposed to follow consistently. Some person may tell you that it is illogical for a car to fly forgetting that the car was not built with the mechanism to fly. It is only when you are staring at a car without such mechanism and still go ahead and make that claim with reference to it.

So, spiritual matters, as long as they operate within the possibilities of spirituality and not go contrary, can be termed as logical.

except xtians insist that cars can fly if they pray hard enough.

aljharem: Nicely put !

nl boko rep is back.
where is your slave boy dayokanu?

ultrazone: I appreciate your view sir, but don't you think we should focus more on the individuality of the president rather than his tribe?

In a civilised country, yes. In a zoo like Nigeria, you need an advanced brain. Fortunately for Nigeria, Igbos possess such brains.

striktlymi: With respect to the OP, semen is need for IVF. IVF necessarily implies the death of one or more embryos. Human life starts at conception. The death of embryos implies the death of humans but in this case it is done deliberately. I have a problem with that.

the bolded is great prob because there is no general agreement on when is conception.

however without digressing, I would say that 75% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. So should we all stop fucking?

striktlymi: That is the least of the issues I have with the donation. I am almost certain that one can get access to another's semen without the need for m*sturbation. My concern is actually the implication it has for IVF.

the same implication as if he bleeped the woman.

Igbo president is the only solution.

vedd: There is no worse a nation than a people without clear-cut vision, ideology, direction and purpose.
A people who stand for nothing are easy subject for manipulation and subjugation.

Today, Biafra.
Tomorow, One Nigeria!

I have always held this view that ibos need Nigeria far more than the country needs them. What this country needs is concerted effort and a proper sanctioning principles and practices. Not chest beatings.

Exmay: Before 1947 jews were nationals of a country with no land mass. Why their land was being occupied by strangers. Can anybody point out to me any Major town that Isreal is currently occupying or fighting for that wasn't originally their's. For further Clarification, Check the Good Book.

According to the book with you call good, they were wandering slaves of Africans that killed a lot of people and took over their lands. From philistine to jericho and more. They were landless nomads.

sad.

arewafederation: AlfaSeltzer... I'm not in the mood to condone your usual childish tantrums.

Just come and evacuate your brothers from the north.

here are yours running away when no one is chasing them. bunch of cowards.

striktlymi: I believe for now it is wrong to donate such.

why? the self-service?
