Olodumare is even one of the creatures of God Almighty, just as Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Moloch, Atum and the rest of them.

Who, or which then, is this so called "God Almighty", dare I ask?

you just dont get the point.......that pic is disrespectful to an entire religion... you just dont direspect an entire religion because of a man whose wrong doing is not yet clearified

You make it sound like pissing on a God book is pissing on God, with no regard that assuming a book is God is itself pissing on God. Or would you not agree that substituting or making my God equivalent to a book is image making and against Gods command not to piss on God?

Religions are the ways of thinking (images) that people adopt, which I see no reason whatsoever to respect. It's like you asking me to respect your opinion on this thread when I would personally desire to respect you as the human being that you are instead of respecting the thoughts inside your head.

By the way, and in case you have not noticed, the expression "you just dont get the point" simply means "you do not see it how I see it", and I don't expect to see a thing how you see a thing because I most definitely don't have eyes that work like yours. Perhaps God has blessed you with more insight than God blessed me, I'd therefore have you consider amongst other considerations.

Politics › Re: Why do European countries have a single ethnic group dominating a country? by budaatum: 8:05pm On Jul 07, 2019*

Donmedra:
5 abi while Nigeria has 300 ethnic groups.

Even those 5 has their region they dominate

What amuses me is the fact that many look at a finished product and compare it to a product in transformation without sufficient knowledge of how the finished product got to the state it is in. When one checks, one tends to find such individuals have no or next to no knowledge of the concept of evolution which I put down to a poverty in historical knowledge.

Below are maps of ethnic groups of Britain and the south of England at different times. Britain had many more ethnic groups that became '5' over time.

This is not true. Britain alone could claim up to five ethnic groups. I suggest you learn about ethnic groups in Europe.

sonmvayina:
Ovbiously, it seems so...Judaism and Christianity are two different religions..Christianity is just a roman rebranding of Babylonian paganism which has human sacrifice at it's centre..something the Hebrew God calls an abomination...the Hebrew God promised to send a Messiah to the Jews,but he was going to be a normal man like a you and me,from the line of David and from Judah..not a Demi God,.he was not coming to die for sin as there already was a solution to the problem of sin in Judaism..he was coming to rule in a peaceful world..no more wars and oppression...the new convernant was a convernant of everlasting peace..

On reading the above one would think you believe "human sacrifice" is what Christianity is about, when the truth I bet is you can't name one single human being sacrificed to God by Christians.

But let me not pressume. Please state how "human sacrifice" is at the centre of Christianity.

So, why then do you pray?

How then can you as a believer do this?

Prayer, and believing, in the two questions above, are what I will consider here, first, by pointing out the error in the ops understanding, for he willingly, it would seem, takes an understanding of prayer from believers but would not do the same for God. Yet, to philosophical consider a thing, one would define one's terms and not just assume words mean what one understands them to mean.

First, believers. To believe is to accept a thing as being as one understands it to be. One problem with this is one only can possibly believe what one is aware of, which is what makes ops question, "what do you do when you understand that you hold on to an inconsistent belief" pertinent. I shall take "inconsistent" to mean that which corresponds not to reality, and I'm going to point to the scientific method (a devise of the Holy Ghost to the spiritually minded), as the solution found to the problem of resolving "inconsistent belief" with actual reality, with an admission that we have not yet evolved our understanding that far, it seems. And so, on to prayer, and with a question instead of an answer which I have placed elsewhere with imploration thay you cheat not until after you consider the question yourself.

Imagine I were to pray earnestly for a Mercedes-Benz or to pass an exam in maths, how would one go about it, and how would God, if God were so inclined, answer such prayers?

Literature › Re: Introducing Nairaland 10 Days Book Challenge by budaatum: 6:05pm On Jul 07, 2019*

My fourth book would be a book on tort law, but since it's one I read without fully comprehending a single word, I'll skip it for what many are not aware was the first Bible of the Western world, which I also did not understand until my third read which is why I read it 7 times in the end, and a very interesting tale it was too, though poverty is the real reason I read it so many times, for what else would you do if you have no telly in the house?

If there is one book that made me an atheist, it would be this one, for it gives an idea of the concept of Gods that makes one's thinking go way beyond the Judaic God despite being of more archaic understanding of the Gods, by pointing out the limitations of the human understanding at the time. In it did I first encounter the Gods and from it did I conceive an awareness of the development of the concept of Gods in general.

Book Title: Odysseus

Author: Homer

First Encountered: 1975

Do note though that no book made me an atheist, which I just was brought up as by my no time for religion parents. Prayer in my home was 7pm to 11pm Monday to Sunday doing this.

Moon landings were an attempt to find God too, with an inability to perceive behind the moon the recognised limitation, so massive investments were made to see behind the moon, but alas, no God. Those with the ability to comprehend would have said, "Perhaps he moved to another planet", and so do we send probes to the furthest reaches of the universe. Do probes find the Kingdom of God? I'll say yes but expect to be vilified!

I often laugh when people ask others to provide them with evidence of God or prove that God exists. Often, they are asking one who merely believes God exists to prove that God exists, which is an amusing sight to behold, for a person who knows God exists would not bother proving it to one who doesn't for they know the person seeking evidence lacks the ability to perceive or comprehend the Kingdom of God.

I'm going to suggest that most of the above op is based on a misconception of God, of whom no images can be made, and who's Kingdom, it is said, is within one, and which you'd only know by the fruits that presence within produces. I'm also going to suggest NASA is the new Vatican, but I can not possibly expect those who comprehend not "As above, So below" to understand a word I might possibly use to explain my suggesting except to state that "God" is not a philosophical problem, but a problem that those who lack the ability to be philosophical are incapable of comprehending. It's in the language, see, and most have not heard of the likes of Wittgenstein et al.

I might respond to your specific questions later.

How did he piss on Dakolo? If it's true that he even did what it's alleged, how does Dakolo come into the picture when it happened some 20yrs ago?

As far as I am concerned, Fatoy not only pissed on the Bible, he burned it too, and that, in my opinion, is worse than a picture depicting what he did, accurately!

As to Christians behaving as hooligans as some say, I laugh. Those with the Holy Spirit will always fail at hooliganism, and for pissing on the Bible for that matter.

The Orolu Library is, for your information, one of the best stocked local government libraries in the entire Osun State according to the Osun State Library Board. Except that was then, a number of years ago when there was hope that an interest in reading will develop but there was nothing to read.

Books, then, early 90s, was fertiliser for the digital age and easy access to just about enough 'books' for a hundred lifetimes or more. Those bulky things we call books are like dead or very dying now we got phones.

So? Did Punch lie? If Fatoy did what it is alleged he did was he not pissing on Dakolo? Thankfully, the outcry over it was so big that bigger noise can't possibly be made about a cartoon of Fatoy pissing on the Bible.

My third book, except I missed a day and these are more appropriately, books.

My cousin arrived to stay with us in 74 and brought all his books with him. I first got hold of his Nick Carters and then I found his porn and I was hooked. I stole and read all his and when I got old enough to bravely buy my own, every single kobo I could lay my hands on went on this porn.

There was, still there in fact, a bookseller in Ikeja, outside the famous Fela record store who would sell me porn and give me 50% off the next one if I returned the first in mint condition. But there was a problem. Ma must not catch me reading porn, so it was over the fence when I got back from school and had by bag searched, then sometime in the evening I must smuggle it to the bathroom window then pop in the bathroom before any one else does and in my pants to my bed and stay up with my porn stuck out the window so I could read all night with light from the building behind us who had a generator.

Except one day, I come out the bathroom and ma's standing right there looking at the 3 porns bulging in my pants! And yes she did ask, "What's that bulge in your pants buda?" She confiscated my 3 porns!

Book Title: Various (110 in total)

My dad would open maths text book count 10 or so pages and say "go do the exercises". If I'm lucky, there'd be 30 questions on simultaneous equation or something equally as yuk and if not there'd be up to 50 of something even yukkier, so 7pm to 11pm Monday to Sunday I'm working on them and by about 3 days I'd be done and hand it over to be marked and I'll get only 3 correct out of 30.

"Go and do them all again", dad would say, and would keep saying till I'm getting over 70% right. Then it's, "Go and write an essay comparing Buhari's regime with Obasanjo's", and all I can think of is what's the best way to get rid of this slave master who would look at the first draft of my essay and say "I can't read that! Go and write it again", then look at the second draft and ask, "where's the plan for your essay?"

And I had a plan, for my first draft which in no way resembles my by now edited and nicely polished second draft. So its "go and write a plan for your essay and then rewrite the essay"! After which we're back to 10 pages of maths text book!

I wrote an essay for school once using my 'plan' and my form 4 teacher said I couldn't have written it, I must have copied it from somewhere, and dragged me in front of the principal who was going to beat me until I begged him to please let me show him samples of other essays I'd written. She still kicked me out of her English class that year and the next! I saw her when I went back to get my WAEC.

"atum", she said, "I bet you failed English".

"Failed English ma?" Said I, and waved my A1 Maths and A1 English Language WAEC in her face.

Maths is, "If you do not sow, you sure definitely will not reap!
