They may not see themselves, but every so often someone shows up to tell them how they are seen.

Liberals suffer from a messianic complex.
A "messianic complex" refers to a psychological state where someone believes they are destined to be a savior or bring transformative change, often with an inflated sense of moral authority.


Oftenly things don't go their way, they become very depressed.
One of the studies Raum quoted showed liberals suffered when Trump won post 2016. Or rather when their wishes never came true.

America is rich again.

Collections from customs and certain excise taxes spiked by $6.5 billion, or by 37.5%, in May from April, to $24.0 billion, nearly triple the average monthly collections in 2024 ($8.2 billion), according to the Treasury Department’s daily data today.

Over the past three months, they spiked by $15 billion, or by 168%.

But it seems south Africans don't just love travelling angry. Or is it because they're so addicted to their white masters? angry
They prefer to remain in their country, as opposed to leaving it for others.

Guess their recent fight for it makes them love it more than most Nigerians who just want to tear Nigeria apart.

FIA impose further Max Verstappen penalty after Russell Spain GP crash

The stewards deemed Verstappen to have caused a collision and issued a 10-second time penalty, dropping him to P10 in the final classification.

Post-race, they took further action by adding three penalty points to Verstappen’s Super Licence.

That moves him up to 11 for the 12-month period, meaning just one more would trigger a one-race ban for the reigning World Champion.

Ironically, the stewards announced post-race that Verstappen would not have been punished for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, but Red Bull told their reigning four-time World Champion to concede the place to Russell, a call which did not go down well with Verstappen.

You probably focus too much on food in your awake state, which might be because you don't or had periods when you did not have much to eat.

When I was much young and broke, I used to dream I found lots of money. I dreamt it so much that I used to devise plots on how to bring the money from my dream world into my real world. I finally cracked it with work.

Not all who were colonized were enslaved. Nigeria was colonized, but we were not enslaved. During the slave era, we enslaved ourselves. The lucky slaves were sold to the US
I feel you do not know enough about colonisation, or you think you need to be chained to be enslaved.

Nigeria under the British was solely for the benefit of the British. All your work in your garden was for their benefit, which in my book made you their slave. Amazingly, they were so smart that just as you can't see Adam was a naked ignorant slave, so do you not see you were enslaved under colonialism.

Thankfully, those who fought for independence, having stepped out the garden, knew better and returned to free you despite your claim of being a lucky slave.

I can just about see you then fighting to retain your chains.

Budaatum, watch this video and tell me if colonization was all bad and no good.
I never said colonisation was all bad. It is my opinion that if you had not been colonised, you'd still be selling yourselves and killing twins and believe the spirits in the forest are killing you.

My argument is, you had no choice in being colonised because you were less knowledgeable than those who colonised you, and along with that colonisation was your enslavement, which you think was good for you.

OPINION: Trump’s Talk of Pardoning Diddy Is Another Slap in the Face

By a Conscious African

Donald Trump says he “won’t rule out pardoning Diddy” if convicted. Of course he won’t. Because nothing excites Trump more than centering himself in someone else's chaos, especially if it gives him more power over Black pain..

I wasn't aware dump was pardoning Diddy. Makes me think Weinstein will be pardoned soon too. He sure has enough money to pay for one.

Are willfully being ignorant?

The Bible clearly stated Adam and eve was created in the 6th day and on the 7th day he rested. How can God be done with creation before the 7th day and then create again in the 8day?
The text says, "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made".

Tell me. When you rest do you not start work again afterwards, or does rest mean retired and worked no more?

I do not expect you to see what I see, or you understand how your interpretation encourages ignorance, which is what those who refuse to eat fruits of knowledge are.

Look at Nigeria where we are afraid of knowledge. When we say "Let there be light", the response is not, "and there was light", it is Nepa! But look at China's development over the past 25 years. Not only do they eat fruits of knowledge, USA is screaming China is stealing their fruits of knowledge.

Put buda in the garden of Eden and the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is all buda will eat because buda does not want to be knowledge malnourished and a slave to anyone.

Kill me if you don't like it, but if your killing is anything like God's supposed killing of Adam, I'm guaranteed at least another 50 or so years at least, and would leave a decent number of descendants behind.

Where is your proof of this? Quote the verse where Adam was created.
Genesis 2 King James Version

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.


3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Verse 5, along with the others bolded, explicitly imply the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" on the eight day after he had rested.

After the Lord had then formed the man from dust did he "planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed".

But that's not even the conclusive evidence. The fact Adam was not given the same duties and pay as the Image shows they couldn't possible be the same creation unless you want to argue God decided to demote the Image to a naked ignorant slave, which he's unlikely to be able to do since they are themselves in God's image with the same powers and abilities and might resist being enslaved by their peer. Hence, slave Adam.

TLDR. That's Jehovah Witness type of interprets.
My point is that one should not care about those things, xtianity dies not rely on the misspellings, placement and sequence of bible verses.
If Jesus didn't resurrect then xtianity falls flat in it's face. Fullstop. Period.
See the bold? That's like claiming one can understand Chinua Achebe's Thing's Fall Apart by not reading the pages in their published order, but by jumping around the chapters like church reading is. And if that is a philosophy you adopt when reading anything, it would explain the numerous unfounded conspiracies you post here without bothering to see if there is any connection apart from you love for dump. You are a Christian, so I would suggest you go pick up a Bible and start at page one and work your way to the end. You might even see Yahweh evolving from some angry fire and brimstone god into meek and gentle forgiving Jesus.

As for your "If Jesus didn't resurrect then xtianity falls flat in it's face", it's a pity you think this way, as it's like claiming if the tortoise in Things Fall Apart did not claim his name was All of Us it would not have the sections on its supposed cracked shell, or that there is nothing to learn in the stories of the hare and the tortoise you read as a child.

Jesus does not have to have died for Christianity to have merits, because, regardless of his death, love your neighbour and turn the other cheek still has immense value, along with a lot of other fictional stuff in the Bible, if understood. In fact, the Bible has merit as a book in its own right whether you believe it or not.

In case you don't know, your Christ is risen indeed only when you understand, otherwise, you just crucify your Jesus all over again.

Happy that verse was to Noah. How about Genesis 1:28

Genesis 1:28 ►

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Adam was not created until Chapter 2, so that instruction could not have been given to Adam, who after being created on day 8 after God had rested on the seventh, was put in the garden to tend it.

You don't rule and subdue the earth if you are a naked ignorant enslaved gardener.

That’s the problem I have with you people. No amount of evidence will suffice until it hits you personally. That’s how Germans claimed that they didn’t know anything about the concentration camps when the war ended.
They'd rather be lied to, and the liars know their sheep. Hence their alternative facts for the gullible.

A US government report on children's health cited "totally fabricated" studies to back up its findings, academics wrongly listed as the authors of those studies have said.
