musKeeto: Bro, he's already told you he's willing to meet you to test your 'story'.. The way you Xtians quicky dump burden of proof on the unbeliever's amazing..
If you were quite sure this egbesu works, this conversation would have been over a long time..

Btw, I don hear of boys wey do dat thing. One, according to a story, fell ill and had to undo the undoable when nurses couldn't prick his skin with a syringe.

Of course, I asked for proof and hospital. The story teller started rambling, just like you're doing...

For me, I dey fear gun. I no one shoot person. cheesy

After all is said and done my belief in the supernatural is still strong.
Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 3:07pm On Apr 29, 2013
Purist: Here, we have a "freethinker" who strongly believes that Criss Angel has supernatural powers. Even when shown videos explaining the tricks, he insists - in the face of contrary evidence - that some of the more incredible stuff are actually supernatural. Is there any wonder then why this same "freethinker" is convinced that bullet-proof jazz is real, and that whoever dismisses it as the nonsense that it is, is "dogmatic"?

By the way, here's a direct quote from Criss Angel himself:

"No one has the ability, that I'm aware of, to do anything supernatural, psychic, talk to the dead. And that was what I said I was going to do with Phenomenon. If somebody goes on that show and claims to have supernatural psychic ability, I'm going to bust them live and on television. That's what Houdini did for more than half of his life, because those people prey on the vulnerable."

Source: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0710/30/lkl.01.html

Again, we have another clown who believes that "african bullet-proof" is real, but is unwilling to volunteer himself to demonstrate its efficacy because it supposedly contradicts his faith. Yet, the same clown has no problem being a third party in the demonstration exercise anyway.

You've got to wonder why no human being on earth has been able to claim the James Randi prize money in its 40 years of existence (along with others like it), considering the plethora of claims about this so-called supernatural, particularly on the African continent (which, surprise surprise, also happens to be the most backward continent in the universe). I guess the reason for this is self-evident.
well, I stand corrected about criss angel, he is just an illusionist,

lol, u funny bros, another fact that is going to support your argument is the colonization of africa by the europeans, then the belief in "juju" was on another level then,

with africans sacrificing their fellow people to malevolent spirits who were said to be Gods of war, even with these beliefs, the british fought and defeated the binis, and so many other tribes and ethnic groups,

But it gives credence to my earlier argument that these set of beliefs thrive on the beliefe system of the people engaged in them.

Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 4:51pm On Apr 28, 2013
ooman: Ok, Bolaino, indeed there are things that seem to be out of natural explanation but these things only seem to be, they are really not. There is nothing supernatural in nature, everything has natural explanations.

I have also visited some places and seen some things, I was surprised that what people term supernatural are events they are too lazy to decipher or things they lack the technology for

The supernatural world does not exist and magic is not real.
lol, you remind me of the famous british atheist richard dawkins, u sound like him, but u guys are somewhat dogmatic in your assertion that there is nothing supernatural about this world, and that's where I think u guys have it wrong,

I don't believe in a God, but I believe that there is vortex of energy that surrounds this universe and it can be finetuned by a group of beings, to do a specific thing at a specific time, and this energy can be used for good or for evil, who knows, it could be a branch of science that we've not been able to explain or have knowledge of, but till we have proper grasp of this form of science, I will refer to it as the metaphysical.
Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 4:33pm On Apr 28, 2013
musKeeto: And the audience that film, how many of those 'independent' videos have you seen... Check youtube.. It's all for entertainment..

There are things that can't be explained. I accept that. But one day, i'm quite sure they will.. well maybe not everything.. but science yields better fruits than superstition, so why let superstitions rope us in?

You're a freethinker, question everything, and test every answer. I told you about the egg in the bottle trick why not try it yourself?

grin

And read my reply to emze. I'd like to believe there's more to life, my imagination runs wild at times.. But reality remains reality.
well the beauty of science is that there is no dogma in science, and also as freethinkers we have the ability to acknowledge our mistakes upon light of new information, well, like u pointed out criss angels tricks are all about entertainment, and by the end of the day he gets us entertained,

But it still doesn't change the fact that there are things that science can never be able to explain, and that makes them supernatural.
Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 4:24pm On Apr 28, 2013
ezme: if only you would stop using your phone and get on a laptop,you would be able to stream from youtube the trick behind the act like muskeeto suggested.
well I have watched the youtube videos where he explains how he does his levitation, but I have also watched videos where he levitates to heights of over 20 ft, so the explanation he gave does not explain those occasions,

and If I might ask if you're criss angel, and u can really levitate and you're using it to make money, would u expose your secret to the world? What I think is the explanation being given by criss angel is to try to make what he does look logical so that people like us freethinkers won't start asking questions that he would'nt want to answer, that's my two cents,
Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 3:55pm On Apr 28, 2013
ezme: I think the tag freethinker would be better as I have not ruled out totally the existence of a supreme being. I just don't trust the bible stories anymore.
but from your posts so far, you are veering towards atheism but I stand corrected, BUT if you believe, even slightly, the possible existence of a supreme being, then that on it's own is an acknowledgment of your belief in the supernatural.
Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 3:51pm On Apr 28, 2013
musKeeto: Thanks.
@Bolaino:
Criss Angel is a MAGICIAN and ILLUSIONIST. Plus he uses heavy video editing and employs lots of stooges...

It's called ENTERTAINMENT for a reason, don't tell me you also believe the WWE is 'real' fights?
lol, muskeeto, u are a "know know" pikin, I don't believe WWE fights are real, but I believe that criss angel does actual magic, yeah, I've seen him explain some of his tricks,

but the ones he does that stand out there is no explanation for them cos he does them in the open example of such is his walking on a swiMming pool, that was something beyond the physical, if u doubt me, learn it and try doing it and see if u won't drown,

and he actually levitates, watch some of his levitations and see for yourself, cos he does'nt do magic in restricted areas, he does them in open places and spectators are allowed to film while he is doing most of his feats
Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 2:32pm On Apr 28, 2013
mazaje: Most of the things people claim are supernatural events, are just natural events that can not be explained. . .Example we have magicains that use tricks to deceieve that they have supernatural abilities, but when they explain their tricks you discover that it is just some esoteric natural knowledge they used. . .
yeah talking about magic, there's an american magician by the name of criss angel, he walks on water and he levitates, and believe u me, it's no trick, u need to watch it for urself and believe, so what do u have to say about something like that?
Christianity EtcRe: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 10:49am On Apr 28, 2013
musKeeto: This is embarassing..

Reyginus is a Christian..



And what exactly are these experiences?


Superstitions thrive where there's mass ignorance. Even within Nigeria, most of these so called happenings are said to happen in the 'VILLAGES'.. Little wonder, most would direct you to go to their villages for 'proof'..

Less SCIENCE, more SUPERSTITION, dense IGNORANCE..



https://img.docstoccdn.com/thumb/orig/98945899.png



Science isn't beyond human comprehension, and its tales can mostly be replicated. Get educated. This is the Information Age. Stop using free internet to browse p0rn, facebook and free cheats. grin
lol, I just can't stop laughing, muskeeto hav kee meee, lol, I made a mistake by including regynius, my bad, the name just came to me, while I was typing,

Indeed you're right superstition thrives where there is ignorance I very well agree, and another thing I know is the belief system of a group of people matters a lot, and most of these mystical occurrences happen where these people share a close affinity to. Belief system that gives credence to metaphysical happenings, but there is enough evidence to support their claims in these happenings, hence their belief in them,

Unlike people living in countries like switzerland where religion is minimal, the possibilities of metaphysical happenings there is rare, because the belief system of the people there does not suPport supernatural occurrences, my point is these forces who control the metaphysical world rely on belief, If you believe then it'll happen, and for those who believe they've seen things happen,

And your experiment about the egg in a bottle, forgive my ignorance, as no man can claim absolute knowledge of everything, but I would like u to perform the experiment and show me results, and also u did'nt give an explanation to the crucifix in the glass bottle,

Pls quote me where I said science is beyond human comprehension, it's even absurd for u to have mentioned that, science was created by humans so how can it be beyond our comprehension? I only said there are things that science can not give GOOD EXPLANATIONS for,

And I don't facebook or watch porn, lol, muskeeto u dey show urself shebi?
Christianity EtcWhat Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(op): 9:37am On Apr 28, 2013
On my journey to self enlightenment, I have had lots of experiences both good and bad, before I became an agnostic I practiced lots of religions that deal with occult mysticism, and I gathered a knowledge or two about the supernatural, So my stance on the issue of supernatural occurrences is that of the affirmative, I believe in supernatural occurrences. As I have experienced them first hand.

What made me create this topic is the growing trend of atheists who go about with the assertion that there are no metaphysical happenings, that everything can be explained and that the things that can not be explained now, are probably things that science has not fully comprehended and will soon demystify in the nearest future, I could understand this stance coming from an atheist who lives in the western world, but I will not take it from an atheist who was born and bred up here in Africa, Nigeria especially,

My reasons being we as africans have one way or the other seen first hand or heard (from eye witness accounts) numerous tales of things beyond human comprehension, from either seeing unbroken eggs in glass bottles to seeing lots of crucifixes in glass bottles, how where these things made to happen? It's beyond human comprehension, and like so many other numerous tales of supernatural experiences heard from friends and family,

So it baffles me when I see atheists like Ooman, muskeeto, regynius, logicboy, ezme, Rossikk, and the rest of the bandwagon, try to give rational explanation for issues beyond their comprehension, I'm not saying that we should continue to chase shadows like ezme would say, no, but we should give an open mind to issues that try to enlighten us on the occurrence of metaphysical happenings,

Thank God for science, now we are able to explain many of the things our ancestors regarded as supernatural, now we know that these were just natural occurrences Caused by mother nature, but the truth still remains that there are things even the almighty science will never be able to give good explanations for.

So my fellow freethinkers, be objective in your discussions about the supernatural. But I would like to hear your opinions on this issue as well.
Christianity EtcRe: Terrified By Bats: Please Advice Me by bolaino(m): 9:01am On Apr 28, 2013
WeLl, my candid advice to u is to first check your house very well, I think there's an opening in your room where the bats are passing through, and as bats are nocturnal creatures u probably won't see them in the day cos they'll be resting,

so try doing a thorough inspection of your house for hidden crevices and holes that could be housing these bats, and it won't kill u to be cautious of the people from your village, belike say dem don start to dey reason ur mata,

CareerTop Ten Office Rules That Will Get You Promoted In Your Workplace by bolaino(op): 2:27pm On Apr 26, 2013
10 Office Rules:

10. Never walk without a document -- People with documents look like hardworking employees headed to important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they're headed for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper in their hand look like they're headed for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you really do.

9. Use computers to look busy -- Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, chat and have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about, but they're not bad either. When you get caught by your boss -- and you will get caught -- your best defense is to claim you're teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars.

8. Messy desk -- only top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.

7. Voice mail -- Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing -- they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That's no way to live. Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they're not there -- it looks like you're hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.

6. Look impatient and annoyed -- According to George Costanza, one should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give off the impression that you're always busy.

5. Leave the office late -- Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read. Make sure you walk past the boss' room on your way out. Send important e-mails at unearthly hours (i.e. 9:35pm, 7:05am, etc.) and during public holidays.

4. Creative sighing for effect -- Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.

3. Stacking strategy -- It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor, etc. (thick computer manuals are the best).

2. Build vocabulary -- Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember, they don't have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive.

1. MOST IMPORTANT -- make una no let una oga see this thing by mistake ooo.
