El-Zakzaky & Nnamdi Kanu are never seeing the light of day until 2019..


And depending on what happens in 2019, they may remain there until further notice..

It is unjust to impose an infinite punishment for a finite crime. Even Hitler does not deserve to be burned alive for ever and ever. Even ISIS has never burned anyone alive for more than a few minutes, despite being the most barbaric people in the world. The obvious injustice of the Christian concept of hell perfectly demonstrates the ethical shortcomings of the men who came up with it. Yes, they were men.

but they wouldn't agree they where men!!!
men who coined the christian myth at the Council of Nicea, thats why the jews still smile and wave their heads when they hear Christians call Abraham, their father!!!
knowing their fathers are Constantine and the bishops of the Nicea council...

I think a spouse who offers practical solutions to your difficulties is far more valuable than one whose solution to every difficult problem is prayer and fasting and what does the bible say, which tends to fail precisely when you need it most. (Actually, it always fails, but you won't realize it until it fails you in a big way)

thank you seun!!!
practical solutions are what we need.
"..i have discovered praying, it will save me millions in charity donations".

Vick4rill:
Unless you are ready to be an atheist yourself, don't ever believe you guys will be able to tolerate each other for long. Forget about the "bullshit" about both of you, loving yourselves and being tolerant to one another. That assertion can never work. How can u spend your life with somebody who thinks that your "belief" is delusional and plain foolishness?

How can you train your children in such a man's house? What if he decides that his children will become atheists too? What will happen when both of you are supposed to pray and come together as a family? Do you think such a person will tolerate ur pastors or church members visiting you in his house?

Avoid atheists like plagues. Don't ever think you can change or convert him, once you people are married. There is no any good quality that any atheist possesses, that is not found among the Christian brothers. Just pray hard and God will give you a good believer that will give you more happiness than any atheist can ever think of giving you.

so Christians should not marry Muslims or any other person from another religion?
how can spouses deal with their kids choosing the right religion when both are from different religions?
the same reasons you stated apply to people from different religions getting married.
more so please don't mistake our disbelief and tag it that we take you believers as being stupid..
do you take a Muslim as being stupid
so why would think such about us
.
you guys fail to understand atheist, we simply don't care, about you going to church everyday, about you praying, we don't bother!
.
listen to this about parenting, atheism is not a religion!! atheists are not converts, although we where all born atheists. parents can choose how to raise their kids in love.
.
the OP acts as if he dosnt know that in most Christian families the dads hardly go to church, nor partake in religious activities....
.
religion is not a yardstick that marriages will work. take note!!!

OPUSDEI1:
It appears the OP is finding it hard to admit his typo error or that he is Confused.

Am not confused, nor did I make a mistake!!!
am not expecting you change the lies you have been told since childhood within a short time, I know it takes.... from your name you seen to wish you belong to the 'opus dei'. well if not that the true knowledge in the Vatican archives has been filtered.

lalasticalala pls come and do the needful.

Zara's mysterious founder, Amancio Ortega, just
surpassed Bill Gates to become the richest man in
the world.
Shares of the Spanish retailer's parent company,
Inditex, rose 2.5%. That boosted Ortega's fortune
to $79.5 billion, according to Forbes .
Bill Gates' net worth is $78.5 billion.
Despite Ortega's impressive net worth, many
people have never heard of him.
The 80-year-old Spaniard fiercely guards his
privacy and gives few interviews to the press.
Ortega founded fast-fashion giant Zara with his
then-wife Rosalia in 1975. Today, his retail
company Inditex SA — which owns Zara, Massimo
Dutti, and Pull&Bear — has over 6,600 outposts
around the world.

mark is cool..

no be news again o

Horn of Africa nation has seen months of protests during which rights groups say security forces have killed hundreds.
Protesters in Ethiopia have attacked foreign businesses, according to the owners of a flower firm, as demonstrations in which rights groups say hundreds of people have been killed continued. The Dutch company said crowds of people in the Oromia and Amhara regions torched flower farms as they targeted businesses with perceived links to the government. Flowers are one of the country's top exports. The Esmeralda Farms statement came after weeks of escalating protests that started among the Oromo, Ethiopia's biggest ethnic group, and later spread to the Amhara, the second most populous group. Both groups of protestors are demanding more political and economic rights, and say that a ruling coalition is dominated by the Tigrayan ethnic group, which makes up around 6 percent of the population. According to the New York-based Human Rights Watch group, security forces have killed at least 500 people since the unrest began in November and thousands of people have been arrested and detained. The government has denied that violence from the security forces is "systemic" and pledged to launch an independent investigation , blaming opposition groups inside and outside of the country and what it called "anti-peace" elements for the chaos. Esmeralda Farms said its 10 million euro ($ 11.1m) investment went up in smoke this week in Bahir Dar city and that several other horticulture companies were also affected. Remco Bergkamp, assistant manager at Esmeralda Farms in the Netherlands, told Al Jazeera that the company would likely leave Ethiopia, rather than rebuild the farm. "The situation is not stable enough to run a business. You just don’t know where the country is headed," Bergkamp told Al Jazeera. Ethiopia has seen sustained economic growth in recent years and the government has been keen to attract foreign investors, often offering attractive incentives to firms who want to do business there. Government opponents, though, say the country's poorest have seen little benefit from the investment. "The government sent security forces to protect the farm. Eventually the group of protesters grew so large that the soldiers were forced to flee and the property was torched," Bergkamp said. "One of our Ethiopian staff members was wounded in the attack." Protests in Oromia started in November last year when the government announced a plan to expand the capital - a city state - into the surrounding Oromia region.
Many Oromos saw that as a plan to remove them from fertile land. The scheme has since been dropped but the unrest spread as demonstrators called for the release of prisoners and for wider freedoms. In the Amhara region, demonstrations began over the status of a district - Wolkait - that was once part of Amhara but was incorporated into the neighbouring Tigrayan region. Those demonstrations have also since widened. The governing Ethiopian People's Revolutonary Democratic Front last month rejected a United Nations request that it send in observers, saying it alone was responsible for the security of its citizens. The government, a close security ally of the West, is often accused of silencing dissent, even blocking internet access at times. At elections last year, it won every seat in the 547-seat parliament.

What's an atheist business with the Bible?? Wetin concern agbero with overload?

my sister we are just pointing things out!!!

“… the Persian Gulf, the critical oil and natural gas-producing region that we fought so many wars to try and protect our economy from the adverse impact of losing that supply or having it available only at very high prices.” – John Bolton, George W. Bush’s ambassador to the United Nations
(ReaderSupportedNews) All the hubbub over Syria is all about oil. And if you don’t believe me, believe John Bolton.
When there’s something being talked about in the news on a regular basis, and if one angle of the story is being consistently reported by various reputable news organizations, you can be sure there’s something else to the story that isn’t being told. Matt Taibbi called this “chumpbait” when referring to the media’s unified dismissal concerning Bradley Manning’s court-martial. The same applies to the latest corporate media stories speculating on US military involvement in Syria. Image credit: roy.luck


If the US were really concerned about spreading Democracy in the Middle East, we’d be helping the Occupy Gezi movement oust Turkish Prime Minister Ergodan and condemning his violent suppressionof human rights, rather than assisting the Free Syrian Army. And the only reason the powers controlling the US would be interested in intervening in Turkey would be if Turkish protesters or government forces shut down the highly-productive Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline, which goes from Iraq through Southern Turkey.
All of the media has been atwitter about whether or not the US should get involved in the civil war unfolding in Syria by supporting anti-government forces. The atrocities recently committed by the Free Syrian Army are reminiscent of the kind committed against the Soviets in the 1980s by the Afghan mujahideen, whom we actively funded and supplied with arms. (Remember the movie Charlie Wilson’s War?) It should be worth noting that the same mujahideen fighters we funded to fight our enemies for us in the 1980s became our enemies even before the 9/11 attacks.

In a roundabout way, the US media is making the argument that because the Assad regime is using chemical weapons on the Syrian people, the US military should intervene by arming and training the Free Syrian Army in the hopes of overthrowing President Assad. On the surface, most Americans would agree that Assad is a brutal dictator and should be removed from office. But if you asked most Americans whether or not the US military should intervene in Syria to make sure the profit margins of oil companies remain strong, it’s likely most rational folks would say no. Digging just beneath the surface, it’s easy to see that US interest in Syria isn’t to provide Democracy to Syria, but to ensure the Kirkuk-Banias oil pipeline will be restored to profitable status. Even President Obama’s press secretary said that foreign policy isn’t driven by what the people want, but by what is best for “American interests.”
The Kirkuk-Banias pipeline runs from Kirkuk in Northern Iraq, to the Syrian town of Banias, on the Mediterranean Sea between Turkey and Lebanon. Ever since US forces inadvertently destroyed it in 2003, most of the pipeline has been shut down. While there have been plans in the works to make the Iraqi portion of the pipeline functional again, those plans have yet to come to fruition. And Syria has at least 2.5 billion barrels of oil in its fields, making it the next largest Middle Eastern oil producer after Iraq. After ten unproductive years, the oil companies dependent on the Kirkuk-Banias pipeline’s output are eager to get the pipeline operational again. The tension over the Syrian oil situation is certainly being felt by wealthy investors in the markets, who are thus dictating US foreign policy.

It’s easy to see why the oil-dominated US government wants to be involved in Syria’s outcome. The Free Syrian Army has since taken control of oil fields near Deir Ezzor, and Kurdish groups have taken control of other oil fields in the Rumeilan region. Many of the numerous atrocities that Assad, government committed against unarmed women and children were in Homs, which is near one of the country’s only two oil refineries. Israel, the US’s only ally in the Middle East, is illegally occupying the Golan Heights on the Syrian border and extracting their resources. The US wants to get involved in Syria to monopolize its oil assets, while simultaneously beating our competition – Iran, Russia and China – in the race for Syrian black gold.
Big oil’s ideal outcome would be for US troops to back the FSA’s overthrow of the Assad regime, meaning that sharing in Syrian oil profits would be part of the quid-pro-quo the US demands in exchange for helping the Syrian rebels win. It would be very similar to when the US, under Teddy Roosevelt, backed Panama’s fight for independence in exchange for US ownership of the Panama Canal. But even after numerous interventions, including the kidnapping of Panama’s head of state, the Torrijos-Carter accords gave control of the Panama Canal back to Panama in 1999. The imperialistic approach to Panama turned out to be more costly than it would have been if we had just left Panama alone in the first place.
George Santayana said that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. If we don’t learn from our past mistakes, like basing foreign policy goals on greed-inspired imperialism, Syria will blow up in our faces.

YOu can check the article source for a video documentary.

The Vatican church, or the Roman Catholic church, has a long history of corruption and deception. Aside from literally committing acts of outright genocide several centuries ago against the Cathars, tosexually abusing children in more modern times, it is certainly one of the most corrupt organizations in history.

In the year 1611 the Bible was translated from Latin into English. Back then the Bible contained a total of 80 books and the last 14 books, which today have been excluded, made up the end of the Old Testament and were as follows:
1 Esdras
2 Esdras
Tobit
Judith
The rest of Esther
The Wisdom of Solomon
Ecclesiasticus
Baruch with the epistle Jeremiah
The Songs of the 3 Holy children
The history of Susana
bel and the dragon
The prayer for Manasses
1 Maccabees
2 Maccabees
In 1684 all of these books were removed from all versions except for a 1611 edition, which was the very first edition translated into English.
In this first edition you will also actually find that Jesus’ name is spelled IESUS and pronounced Yahashua. So why then does everyone continue to call him Jesus, when the letter J did not even being used at the time?
One of these books that is particularly interesting, is the “Wisdom of Solomon”. For those who don’t know Solomon is one of the most legendary characters from the Bible. He was the son of David and is alleged to be the wisest man that has ever lived. He is painted largely as a benevolent figure. But what you read in this book will make you question everything you were told to believe about him.
Observe the following excerpt;
Wisdom of Solomon 2:1-24
1 For the ungodly said reasoning with them selves, but not aright, our life is short and tedious and in death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave.
2 For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath of our nostrils is as smoke, and the little spark in the moving of our heart
3 Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,
4 And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away, with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
5 For our time is very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.
6 Come on there for let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
7 Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the Spring pass by us.
8 Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
9 Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion and our lot is this.

10 Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.
11 Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth.
12 Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because HE is not of our turn, and HE is clean contrary to our doings. He upbraideth us with our offending of the law, and ojecteth to our infamy the transgression of our education.
13 HE professeth to have the knowledge of the MOST HIGH, and calleth HIS self the child of the LORD.
14 HE was made to reprove our thoughts
15 HE is grievous unto us even to behold, for HIS life is not like other men’s, HIS ways are of another fashion.
16 We are esteemed of HIM as counterfeits: HE abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: HE pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh HIS boast that GOD is HIS father.
17 Let us see if HIS words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of HIM.
18 For if the just man be the Son of THE MOST HIGH, HE will help
