So what about all those millionaire pastors? I thought they were guaranteed a slot in heaven? The way they preach prosperity I bet all rich folks who go to their church and give tithe of 40% are guaranteed a slot in heaven.

nakash: In Saudi arabia the crown prince has a female pilot. Never mind that she has to be driven to the airport so she can pilot her plane since women in saudia cant drive. Talk of primitivity and Islam beats every other system hands down.

She cant drive but she can pilot a plane?

So what about this scenario? A woman is in the car with her husband (who is driving) and suddenly he has a stroke or heart attack, she has to take over the wheel and drive him to the hospital right? Surely she cant be arrested for that?

mysticgal: Me tithing has been an imense blessing i saw it in the bible and am obeying,whatever pastor does with the money i don care,i have given it to God.and it's only God that will judge.what tithing has done for me,my mouth cannot tell.AND PLEASE DONT TRY CONVINCING ME TITHE IS OLD TESTAMENT.

Precisely how have you been blessed? Would it be right to say if you pay tithes and you sin regularly and blaspheme etc... God would not bless you?

So your blessing (according to you) is to do with righteousness... not necessarily tithe.

I dont believe tithe should be accepteed by churches. It could be an offering where you put in what you like and the church publishes regular, public accounts as to how it is spent.

Why shouldnt pastors and churches be held accountable for their fiscal policy? It is illegal to misspend any given money even non profit based finances.

Emusan: Atheism is even a religion not base only on faith because they solely rest upon Dawkin's work which they refer to anytime.

it is easier to understand Atheism by classifying it as a religion. After all it is easier to deal with religions by subverting to their negatives.

Atheism however, is not a religion. It is too diverse to classify. There are common traits shared by all atheists but this does not unite them in any particular way.

mizzocho.cinco:
Men dont show dignity or support to deir women. Is okay for a man to leave his wife or get anoda one wen his wife wife is infertile, but is wrong for a woman to do de same. So a woman shud go wiv out a means of living becos she wants to save punny for sum1 who might not marry her. Wen u make decisions remember de same man telling u is morally wrong to do dis or dat will not uphold de same morals wen he is pushed in de deep end. If a woman feels is okay to go wiv out a means of living in order to keep punny for sum1 who hasn't committed himself to her daz her own wahala

So why do it for a career? If her punny has financial value as you allude to, why not just go into fulltime prostitution and do it the way it is meant to be done? Can a career LovePeddler claim to be any better than a street walker? And this career LovePeddler will expect to get the best of men.

Princess zoe: Atheist i understand where you are coming from. Sexual immorality is very bad both in men and in women. Any intimacy done with a man or woman whom you are not married to, is bad and there is no tendency that the person will be faithful whatsoever. Whether you slept with your boss, boy friend, girl friend, all are the same . They are sexual immorality. I am confidently telling you that some of the ladies who started this way, did it as one off thing and their it ended. Their promotions were based on merits and appraisals. Their longevity in the organisations or companies depend on their attitude towards the companies and its clients. Am telling you what i know. This type of case happens all the time even some guys sleep with their female lectureres to graduate or pass their courses. Some guys sleep with their female bosses too, or even visit native doctors or sooth sayers (which is even demonic)to retain their jobs or get promoted. There is noting one can do to stop these things. It is left for you to know God and have His fear in you. My heart goes to the guys who wants to marry working class ladies. Definitely you don't know the extend she went to, in order to secure that job. Even some business ladies, do more of this things. And not only ladies are in this category, some men do too, and women that married such men are already half gone. That is why in this last days, for one to get a decent and faithful spouse, such a person must be decent and faithful too because you will only attract your likes. You might not know until after some years in marriage. The food for thought is have the fear of God, acknowlege Him always, have integrity, establish morals, be responsible and you will definitely meet your like , that is simply known as compatibility.

Sleeping with someone you fancy is different from sleeping with someone for merit. Think about it. The intent is what decides these things. There is a difference between a lady sleeping with her boyfriend and one who sleeps with her boss etc to further her career or one who sleeps with a cab driver to dodge paying a fare. Can you spot the difference between the first and the other two

Also, these career girls claim they only did it once... I can bet they probably had to do it a couple more times through their career. They were just discreet about it.

Adrenaline123: Not only the Bible nor the Quoran. But other aspect of life.
1. In magnetism like poles repel while unlike(opposite) poles attract. Two opposite things working together.
2. The battery of the phone/laptop you are using to browse has two opposite terminals +ve and -ve. Two different things working together.
3. In flowering plants the pollen grains and the stigma work togerther to produce new fruits. Two different things working together.
4. Day and Night. Two different things working together. E.T.C
Assuming you where given only one of these, would you have survived? Think about it.

Your philosophy highlights inter cultural and inter racial partnerships as the standard, do you agree?

Afam4eva: The first girl looked better without the makeup.

She looks like a Roswell alien

RedBenson: What abt fuccking or sucking boobs in a well decorated eatery u invited the girl to even though those around wil stil see u pple? I've done it b4!

Where was that?

Confused post.

You both have issues. Why would he go for a car and insurance rather than settling his immigration situation? Are you both married to each other or dating?

It seems he is jealous of you and has an ego. I think you exhibit some egotistical traits too so you are both guilty

The best is to assess if the relationship is truly genuine and then how to both steer it back on course. Lay low and watch him for some time to assess his true feelings for you.

Also, she sleeps with the guy to get the job and continues sleeping to get to further her career. She eventually meets a decent man and gets married. Then what? Will she continue having illicit affairs to sustain her career even with a husband? If she stops sleeping with her boss, wouldnt that start to negatively impact her career? So why start something she cant finish?

striktlymi: Don't tell me you are one of those who thinks the theory of evolution explains the origin of man?

So you dont believe in evolution huh... are you one of those creationists subscribing to the exams above

Truly not for the faint hearted.

That is where religion goes wrong. No one should have to die for someone elses farcical beliefs.

inurmind: Op I think we will have to accept something, that sometimes some, not all, but some of those myths are true. It's just that nobody is an absolute. You can't always like to be quiet, or to stay indoors, or to be alone, the same way an extrovert cannot always like partying, or being with people, or talking, he also wants his alone time. No one is an absolute, we are a mixture of temperaments. Sometimes we feel this way, other times we feel that way. In fact I remember when someone described me, he said ''he could be very friendly when he wants to, but when he wants to be alone, he's alone''. Although some people are more extreme than others, they could want more alone time, but generally nobody is an absolute, just in different shades of grey.

By the way, although I am an introvert, I am a thrill seeker, love extreme sports, only the ones connected to natural sites though. There's also Dean Potter, he's an introvert but see what he does:



http://www.channel4.com/programmes/daredevils/episode-guide/series-1/episode-2

He also climbs cliffs without any safety equipment. That's who I call the baddest boy mehn!
So you see, some introverts could actually be adrenaline junkies, they just do their thing in mother nature's blossom.
Apart from this misconception, nice post.

Some people are more extreme than others and some are borderline.

Personality testing (like myers-briggs etc) will determine ones personality and fully explain aspects to a persons character. A lot of employers carry out these tye of tests prior to employment.

maclatunji: Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

Yes they can change. People develop and change based on their surroundingss etc, it is most likely mild and rare but it can happen. I changed .

chikk: kissing him or her in public won't be a big deal.

What about if you are shy?

Princess zoe: What a dilemma @ op. The thing is, majority of ladies and some married women will bend for this. Out of the good ones, it is only those who are pressurized, frustrated and are getting choked by unemployment and monetary issues at the same time, have 85% chances in appearing vulnerable and can go for this offer. But they might revolt if the initmacy becomes a perpetual thing and not one off thing as the op stated above.

Hmmm.....

So he gets her the job (after a hard nights bonking) so what. What happens when she needs a promotion and he feels he needs another night of passion? What about when things are tough and they are laying staff off? What about if she needs a pay rise after years of hard work? And this lady will be intending to marry a decent man and be a wife .

It is better to see these things for what they truly are. Even if it is a one-off affair, can any lady honestly say that this will not have a negative effect on them?

Also, as MBJ said, why dont they just go into hooking and make money directly?

These women are silly. They are still romanticizing over what is no more and ignoring the present. The ex comes along and they are very likely to sleep or cheat with that person.

They are really a waste of space so here are some rules:

1. Avoid women who still talk to their exes (only certain circumstances are acceptable).

2. If a woman had a really messy break up and was madly in love with her ex then avoid her unless it has been at least 1 year since the break up.

Anyone else care to add a few?

Faithfulness (especially for men) is as much to do with self control as it is to do with love. A man who loves his wife can easily cheat if he lacks the self control to resist temptations.

striktlymi: True!



I believe you are looking at it from a completely different 'looking glass'...

The way I see it from my 'looking glass' is that God did it but we do not know how and that's why science is there to help us with our search for the how!

We do.... evolution . Everyone is slowly waking up to that fact.

Toluwarni: T[b]he Bible specifically said that, that time people were close to God.. So I'm sure it was possible then..[/b] But now God is farther from us, so with that. It can't be achieved

How? Was God dwelling in the skies?

Have you even tried to reason on the whole thing. Compare it to the space travel and unmanned flights to the edge of the solar system. It doesnt add up. Rather than trying to make excuses for it try and see it for what it is. Even Obadiah has seen the light and now chooses his own fiery brand of Christianity where he can make stuff up and reinterpret things due to these issues

Logicboy03: If something is not evil, it doesnt necessarily mean that thing is good! There is neutral. Something that a religious (Abrahamic) mind can never understand.


Good and evil do not apply to everything. They dont apply to death


Lastly, Death and Killing are two different things. If one is evil it doesnt follow that the other will be.

Precisely. If death is evil then we sin when we kill... including soldiers. Why didnt jesus condemn the centurion. Also, didnt the Israelites have armies and wage wars all in Gods name. So God sanctioned killing and yet condemned it as evil.

effisyman: what if the friend has epilepsy or AIDS.

Epilepsy isnt infectious.

Originalsly: SMH...if I ask the question what exactly is wrong with hemp/igboh I wouldn't get a sensible answer. If I ask why is hemp illegal I would not get a sensible answer.If I say many people are brainwashed when it comes to hemp they would call me the devil. FYI...hemp is a medicinal plant. FYI...if you had a farm more than a certain acreage in the U.S in certain states in the US... by law...you had to grow hemp...you had no choice...rope then was made of hemp and they made sure there was no shortage of hemp in case of war....until DuPont introduced nylon. Paper was also made from hemp. The newspaper mongul at the rime now had paper being made from trees.... the pharmaceutical companies at the time also wanted to get hemp outlawed since it cured many illnesses...hemp had to go and it did to enrich those monguls. They are the ones that pushed for hemp to be illegal internationally. Do I smoke? No. Do I use it? No. But if I have glaucoma, if I start bringing up everything I swallow or suffer from any sickness I certainly would use it. Dont take my word but go google why marijuana is illegal and read for yourself. Free the pastor.

I heard in blacks it increases the possibility of mental illnesses like schizophrenia.

bolaino: yeah, I agree these things are jewish culture, but the modern day christians believe that they are the new covenant jews, and as such these issues also concern them and inadvertently concern those of us who still have christian family and friends, and this blood lust can be seen in the prayers of christians, they are always pleading the blood of jesus on everything, ranging from pleading the blood on their food to pleading the blood on their cars or clothes,

this blood lust is something that should be checkmated before it gets to the next level.

These pentecostal Christians have taken ribena from the red and solidly into the black. I bet it sells better than coke now.

striktlymi: Evening boss,

Okay, cool!

I don't know if there is anyone who denies that dinosaurs once walked the face of the Earth...the evidence is too glaring.

Though I accept every bit of the theory of evolution that is backed by scientific evidence but c'mon man, you know that not everything about evolution is factual...

As it stands, some individuals have garnished the facts with what they think and hence I won't be surprised if some Christians reject it based on this...

For now. More and more chains and links are being discovered. DNA and carbon dating are providing insights into our existence. Soon people will be looking at a different philosophy that God created through the big bang and evolution .

plaetton: Is there no evil in the land that the lord hath not done it?--somewhere in the bible. lol

Hmmmm.....

emöfine2: What consitutes as "sin" in the animal kingdom?

Who are the "chosen" breed or group of animals that will thus go forth into the animal kingdom and preach the "good news" for the "sinners" to repent?

Did Jesus die for the animals?

What will become of the poor pigs who are in certain relgious denomination considered as filthy and dirty?

Not everything that exists among the community of humans is present or can be mapped out into the animal world . . ."Thank God"

So no hamburgers and pork joints in heaven.... gulp

Toluwarni: OK...The thing is even If God comes down today and reveals himself to you.. You won't believe.. Ok I just have one question, If you can answer me I'll become an atheist for LIFE... How else did Language(s) come about Or did they evolve with us to LMFAO..

smh

mazaje1: Languages evolve. . .Hope you know that the english language we are speaking today did not exist about 5000 years ago?. . .The english language we are using to communicate today evolved from the anglo saxon language which has now died away. . .languages evolve, some live and others die out. . .The language spoken by the ancient egyptians that built the pyramids about 5000 years ago is dead. . .5000 years ago nobody spoke english because the language had not been developed yet. . .Languages like very other thing is a human invention, humans invented languages, writing and numbers, everything, even languages are still under going development as new words are formed all the time. . .Non of it has to do with any god. . .

Here...

PS. The language aspect is one side of the debates. The other side is the tower itself. If the purpose was to see God then how would it have been achieved? How can one see God? We could build a tower today with the intention to see God but it would not see God regardless of our intentions. So why would God waste time scattering them to prevent an ambition that was impossible to achieve?
