Blessedman98:Break up and go where? You people should stop this fantasy about Nigeria breaking up. It's not going to happen. Why are you doing this to yourselves?  God in his infinite wisdom said ''I will place you in this country Nigeria. Your task is to make it work, so that you can lift up my Children, the great Black race, back to their former position of Glory on Earth''. That is your task on this Earth. That is why you are here. Not to break up anything. 3 Likes |

brain54:AI can never give everyone the 'right' answer. Because what is right to you may be wrong to someone else, and vice versa. Not everythig is black and white. You are meant to debate and even argue with it. Sometimes it can make a technical error, and you can correct it. It will even apologise and promise to incorporate your perspective etc. But in terms of overall analysis and historical recollection, prediction etc, it is extremely powerful. 1 Like |

This is African religion in everything but name. I understand that the Edo people settled in Japan a thousand years ago, and they clearly influenced the country. There is actually an era known as the Edo Period of Japan, which was from 1603 to the 1860s. |
| Christianity Etc › Introduction To SHINTOISM by Catapault(op): 5:20pm On Apr 23, 2024 |
Welcome to the Religion of Shintoism Shinto (Japanese: 神道, romanized: Shintō) is a religion originating from Japan. Classified as an East Asian religion by scholars of religion, its practitioners often regard it as Japan's indigenous religion and as a nature religion. Scholars sometimes call its practitioners Shintoists, although adherents rarely use that term themselves. There is no central authority in control of Shinto, with much diversity of belief and practice evident among practitioners. The torii gateway to the Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, one of the most famous examples of torii in the country.[1] Torii mark the entrance to Shinto shrines and are recognizable symbols of the religion. A polytheistic and animistic religion, Shinto revolves around supernatural entities called the kami (神). The kami are believed to inhabit all things, including forces of nature and prominent landscape locations. The kami are worshipped at kamidana household shrines, family shrines, and jinja public shrines. The latter are staffed by priests, known as kannushi, who oversee offerings of food and drink to the specific kami enshrined at that location. This is done to cultivate harmony between humans and kami and to solicit the latter's blessing. Other common rituals include the kagura dances, rites of passage, and seasonal festivals. Public shrines facilitate forms of divination and supply religious objects, such as amulets, to the religion's adherents. Shinto places a major conceptual focus on ensuring purity, largely by cleaning practices such as ritual washing and bathing, especially before worship. Little emphasis is placed on specific moral codes or particular afterlife beliefs, although the dead are deemed capable of becoming kami. The religion has no single creator or specific doctrine, and instead exists in a diverse range of local and regional forms. - wiki |

MaxInDHouse:You have a lot of nerve telling others to upgrade their IQ. You're the one who believes 3,000 year old fairytales with no evidence. Talking about ''Jesus and his disciples'' as if you were there with them. What is your evidence that anybody called Jesus Christ existed, never mind his ''disciples''? Are you aware that there is actually no evidence he ever lived? The mere IDEA that the Supreme Intelligence sent his ''son'' to Earth, and this ''son'' ''proved'' he was the ''son of God'' by changing water to wine at a PARTY, and by walking on a sea without sinking, is so comical and idiotic that only a child would believe it. Which is why they teach you people this stuff when you are CHILDREN. It is no surprise that VERY FEW people ever convert to christianity as adults. It's a bedside story for children. 1 Like 1 Share |

RenaissanceGuy:You forgot to mention ''after genociding their inhabitants''. African explorers did not take civilisation round the world with the intent of mass murdering native populations, and seizing their land and riches to build ''skyscrapers'' for themselves. Or they could have EASILY done that, because they were militarily strong. Africans went there to help build societies WITH the local inhabitants. That is why those societies were multiracial and prosperous for millennia. Your 'Ends justifies the means' philosophy is savage, barbaric, and unsustainable if the Earth is to survive.. By that philosophy, I can rightfully storm your village now and shoot everybody, and seize the land for the purpose of building a resort or ''skyscrapers'' for the next generation to enjoy. If it's not okay for YOU, how was it ok for the natives slaughtered by the Europeans in their lands? If they want to live in mud huts, how is that your problem? Is it your land? Or your white master's land? So if some people develop advanced houses in Japan that look like spaceships, after a while they can come and kill you for living in an ordinary flat? Kill you, seize your house and build their spaceship house on top? Do you realise it is that ''might is right'' philosophy of the west that has led the world to the nuclear precipice? There is a Doomsday Clock that is set at a few minutes to MIDNIGHT, in western intelligence circles, in terms of how close the world is to a nuclear holocaust. Do you know that any false mistake among those powers now, and the Earth is toast? Including its 'skyscrapers'? They spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year building ever more devastating weapons of mass destruction. They are absolute idiots, these 'whites' you worship. Their leaders are psychopaths. They are short-sighted, thoughtless, spiritually bankrupt, arrogant and ignorant. Their 'me first' philosophy will destroy the Earth absent of external intervention, perhaps from Divinity itself. The 'intelligence' of the west is actually FOOLISHNESS. But you're too naive to see it, and are fooled by the ''skyscrapers''. |

H. Imbert, a French anthropologist, wrote in his book, Les Negritos de la Chine, “The Negroid races peopled at some time all the South of India, Indo-China and China. The South of Indo-China actually has now pure Negritos as the Semangs and mixed as the Malays and the Sakais. Even the sacred Manchu dynasty [1636–1912 - the last imperial dynasty in China] shows this Negro strain. The lower part of the face of the Emperor Pu-yi of Manchukuo, direct descendant of the Manchu rulers of China, is most distinctly Negroid.” - H. Imbert , Les Negritos de la Chine The article also points out the research of author and professor, Chang Hsing-Lang, and stated that ‘’These professors through their research and studies believe that a Negro Empire actually existed at the dawn of the country’s history citing evidence of substantial populations of blacks in early China, including finding reports of a major kingdom ruled by blacks being frequently mentioned in historical Chinese history documents. And, Chinese chroniclers report that a Negro Empire existed in the South of China at the dawn of that country’s history.” - - H. Imbert , Les Negritos de la Chine |

PureFace1:Inferiority complex afflicted air head. Whose fault is that you are an empty head who doesn't know his history? Who are you calling delusional? Some of us have been researching African history since before you were born. When we say the Chinese have a MAJOR and SUBSTANTIAL African heritage, we base it on SCHOLARLY FINDINGS. In the famous 1836 book, Anacalypsis: An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis or an Inquiry Into the Origin of Languages, Nations and Religions, by English historian Godfrey Higgins, he wrote: “I shall, in the course of this work, produce a number of extraordinary facts, which will be quite sufficient to prove that a black race in very early times, had more influence over the affairs of the world than has been lately suspected. And I think I shall show by some very striking circumstances yet existing, that the effects of this influence have not entirely passed away.’’ Higgins also repeated the contention of Homer, the ancient Greek philosopher, that there was in existence two major Ethiopian nations, one, Africa as a whole, and the other one, India! In fact Herodotus, the legendary ancient Greek scholar known as the ‘father of history’ referred to India as ‘Eastern Ethiopia!’’ According to Higgins, ‘’there were two Ethiopias, one to the east of the Red sea, and the other to the west of it: and a very great nation of blacks ... did rule over almost all Asia in a very remote era, in fact beyond the reach of history or any of our records’’ . He went on...’’We have found the black complexion or something relating to it whenever we have approached the origin of nations. The Alma Mater, the goddess Multimammia, the founders of oracles, the Memnons or first idols, were always black. Venus, Juno, Jupiter, Apollo, Bacchus, Hercules, Asteroth, Adonis, Horus, Apis, Osiris, Ammon, in short, all the ... deities were black. The images remain as they were first made in very remote times.’’ Godfrey Higgins the writer of Anacalpysis wrote: "the originals of all the Gods have always been of the black race." The ancients viewed the sacred image of the Divine as Black. And woolly hair [kinky hair] was a sign of divinity - called "the hair of the gods." 'In my Essay on The Celtic Druids, I have shewn, that a great nation called Celtæ, of whom the Druids were the priests, spread themselves almost over the whole earth, and are to be traced in their .. gigantic monuments from India to the extremities of Britain. Who these can have been but the early individuals of the black nation of whom we have been treating I know not, and in this opinion I am not singular.' - Anacalypsis: An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis or an Inquiry Into the Origin of Languages, Nations and Religions, Godfrey Higgins You can still find their statues and paintings wherever their settled. This is CAMBODIA, where Africans established the Khmer Civilisation. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/01/7a/d0/017ad03c58af1aa2fa7b6c57f7a74565.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/564x/54/55/64/545564b072fea37e07e784c68090fa05.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/564x/84/b0/59/84b0591b76e1d2bb22434ea15d6b1b49.jpg ........... So, no, we are not ''delusional''. It just seems that way because you don't know your history. Of course nothing lasts forever. Every civilisation rises and falls. African dominance lasted for thousands of years in these places, and must be acknowledged, celebrated, and learnt from. Those statues and paintings they made there were for POSTERITY. So that generations down the line would know the reach and scope of African majesty, which brought civilisation to the world. |

African-American Professor Recounts His NDE This man says that there are many levels of heaven. The astral plane is the next level up from here, and is where we go when we 'die'. He says that just like money is our currency here, ie what you can use to enjoy a higher living standard, on the astral plane, the currency is the ability to move up to higher levels of heaven, by experiencing a dense, physical, imperfect world. Like Earth. He says that just as someone can bribe you here to do something unpleasant, and pay you 5 million dollars, there are people on the astral plane that can bribe a soul to come to Earth and live an Earth life for x number of years, and they will tell you the exact life you will live, the suffering you will endure, and how long you will live, and the payment you get for that is that when you return, you will move up to a particular higher plane than the astral plane. He said many souls accept the bribe since an earth life is just a few years compared to the equivalent of 3,000 to 4,000 years of an astral body. Those who refuse the 'bribe' and wish to proceed at a natural pace to the higher level take much 'longer' - often the equivalent of thousands of years - to get there. Whereas ONE Earth life can get you there, once you come back! Because Earth is a ROUGH place that trains you with the right spiritual experiences which enable you to advance up the ladder to the greatest heavens, much quicker.

Congrats321:It's not so much about who has more military capability. They are roughly evenly matched. The problem for Israel is that they are just a tiny country with a small landmass and 8 million people, while Iran is a huge country with 88 million people. So if war breaks out Iran can 'afford' to have even 10 million casualties, lose some infrastructure, and still exist. Israel, if they lose even 2 million people, it would be huge disaster for them. That's a quarter of their population wiped out. And their tiny country would be devastated. They can't annihilate Iran with their nukes, because Russia, who have a defence pact with Iran, would retaliate with nukes against Israel. So Israel just needs to chill. |
