Knowledge is power. But who owns the power?
Most times, people believe they are enlightened and laughs at the perceived ignorance of others. That, on it own, is a higher form of ignorance. Many claim ignorance is bliss. This is because an ignorant person can not be controlled.
But an enlightened person is doomed to seek for more enlightenment. They offer them selves to more controlling thoughts that massages their ego and makes them look down on others that doesn't have such knowledge.
This might not be related. But no ignorant person debates about flat earth and round earth. No ignorant person talks about spirits and the multiverse. These are false knowledge pretending to be enlightenment.
In the end, it is all about work/play, food and rest. That is all that is common between the enlightened and the ignorant naives.
You don't have to be ignorant. But if enlightenment becomes torment, you have derailed.

Someone once said that a life not examined is not worth living.

SpyMaster1:
You deliberately use the term "enemies of God" over and over because you know it’s inflammatory.
You’re not having a calm discussion about death, old age, or suffering. You’re weaponizing a family member’s death to label non-believers as God’s enemies and threaten them with deathbed terror.
That’s not preaching. That’s straight-up hostility.

Most reasonable Christians on Nairaland don’t go around calling people who disagree with them “enemies of God.” They understand that death is already painful and frightening for everyone believers and non-believers alike without adding extra condemnation and fear-mongering on top.
You keep doing this because it’s the only way you know how to respond when someone raises honest questions about suffering or the realities of life and death. Instead of empathy, you jump to “I pity the enemies of God” and “fear God or you’ll die sweating in terror.”

This kind of language doesn’t draw people to faith. It pushes them away and makes Christianity look harsh and tribal.
Sorry for your loss, but using a family member’s death to attack “enemies of God” and declare that even deathbed repentance doesn’t work is not only unhelpful it’s actually cruel.

Stop using tragedy to score points against people who simply don’t share your beliefs. Death is hard enough without your added condemnation.!

Bless you for this. I could not say it better.

Or a prison for souls.

Or a farm.

Because looking dispassionately at this world and this life, it does not seem to be created for altruistic purposes.

The very fact that highly intelligent conscious beings could be kept in a total blackout about their own reality is telling.

Let us share a number of fringe theories about the meaning and purpose of Earth life here.

TV01:
I maintain my position. It is not a claim I make, it is clearly shown from the pages of the biblical text.

God made man in His image
God made man to commune with Him
The basis for all relationships between God and man and between men is to be love
Love does no harm to another. Rather it seeks their best interest - sacrificially if need be!
God Himself demonstrated that sacrificial love to us and for us.
That's good enough for simple me.

All other religions worldviews or philosophies allow harm. Including atheistic, humanistic and materialist ones. Nothing matches the Christian basis as simply stated above.


TV

Are witches and slaves human beings to be loved as well as per the bible?

Jangbajantis:
And there it is!

Same people acting like pressure wouldn’t work are now watching Iran come back to the table.

When there was no serious leverage, Iran was being stubborn. The moment the blockade started biting, suddenly it’s “let’s reopen the strait” and “let’s end the war.”
That’s how negotiations usually work. Strength creates urgency.

People mocked the US approach, but now the same pressure they criticized is what pushed Iran to make concessions. Turns out hot air only lasts until real consequences arrive.

Just remember that before this war the strait was open. So if you achieve the strait being open after the war, you really have to ask what has changed.

TV01:
You caught me at a good time - I simply cannot keep up with the pace here. Watched the clip 2ce.

Qureshi' argument was not actually responded too. He is correct in stating that atheistic morality cannot be absolute.
Dawkins proceeded to create a few strawmen, conflate religions and then assert secular thinking is what drives current day morality.

I have repeatedly stated the biblical writ giving love as the basis for all human interactions. Secular humanist morality gave us the slave trade and a brethren evil - abortion (amongst others). And humanist\secular\material morality will always prove inferior to the biblical basis of love for your fellow man as created in the image of God.

Most of what is claimed to be secular morality (Western style, as it is not universally accepted) has its basis in the bible.

And he couldn't help but liken it to "Intelligent Design" - God that is !

Any more for any more?


TV

I mentioned you because of your claim that there is no such thing as the evolution of morality (as per Christian morality at least).

Absolutely surreal. What's even worse was that the protocols for designated survivor was completely ignored.

There was no designated survivor.

Unfathomable!


I said he was going to lead the country down a path of 3rd World Status, destroying every fabric of what's made the US what it' beens.... that's exactly what's happening.

GBAM!

ijebosb:
Yup, so leads to the question, was it deliberate or incompetence?
Neither answer portends good things.

Exactly. Neither.

ijebosb:
You are arguing with someone who would defend the Devil if the Devil supported Trump.

The event wasn't given the highest security designation.
I think questions should be asked as to why
This was another mess-up by the incompetent Trump administration.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/26/white-house-correspondents-dinner-security-status/

Its surreal when one considers that this is an event that had virtually the entire line of succession present!

raumdeuter:
So try to get your story straight


Is it incompetence by Trump or it was a hoax planned by Trump

If you cannot even admit that something is very wrong somewhere if people can so easily get a weapon into a venue where not just the president but the entire line of succession is in attendance, then no one should bother with you.

basilico:
Could it be that the lax security was occasioned by democrats defunding DHS? The SS agents have not been paid for over 60 days.

Democrats are not in charge of the Presidents security.

raumdeuter:
Not every place can be white house standard

Presidents visit a lot of places and they all cant be white house or airforce1 standards of security

Oh no, certainly a well planned dinner that will have not just the president but almost the entire line of succession in attendance would be FAR better guarded than that.

That is basic common sense. Deliver yourself from TDS

You are the one deranged by Trump, and in urgent need of common sense.

raumdeuter:
What exactly is your own line of derangement?

That hotel security was not up to white house standards

Exactly, and the best security outfit in the world (the Secret Service) which guards the most powerful president in the world for the richest and most powerful country, could not or did not know that?

Think more deeply. Get your head out of his back yard first, it might help.

Mirasteel:
For you right? maybe you live in another planet.

No, dont get me wrong. It is unusual in Nigeria. Its not very unusual in many places abroad.
But even in Nigeria I have friends who had their PHDs around that early or not too far off. But they are all PhDs done abroad oh.

This is not very unusual.

raumdeuter:
This is from a MS NOW reporter on security at the dinner. Maybe she's part of the hoax

MS NOW host Symone Sanders Townsend recounts how poor security was at the WHCD. She says she was able to roll up to the front door on a scooter and security did not ask to see her ID nor see her ticket, they assumed she was a guest at the hotel:

"I actually showed up to the… pic.twitter.com/pUMvLTwKss

But this argues against your position. Or you have left your thinking cap deep up the orange Man's back yard as usual?

basilico:
How many hotels check their residents are carrying ?

Every five star international hotel for sure. That Hotel is a Hilton, even the Hilton in Abuja has a scanner at the entrance.

basilico:
No . What did he do?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!
Where did you grow up?

basilico, since you have a hard on for Hunter Biden

LordReed:
A very reasonable position but does it belong here?

Very very reasonable. And no, not a chance it belongs here.

basilico:
SPLC was paying the guy to write racist stuff on social media .
SPLC designated the org he was working for as an extremist group , which got them lot of donations for their good work of promoting extremism.
They deceptively used fake company names on their books to pay the agent provocateur $270,000 in a span of 3 years.

They were nailed on the same count for $3 million other hidden payments.

What was Trump convicted of? Not stating why he was reimbursing Michael Cohen?

I asked you if you ever heard of Donnie Brasco.

TV01, basilico, ono a very short clip

The funny part is that the economy still wouldn't improve. We'd just suffer more for the sake of the rich and wealthy.

GloriousGbola:
the ten plagues of egypt where all the first sons were lost
wetin concern the m,asses with pharoah and moses beef?

what was a dk measuring contest between pharoah and moses- rather than direct plague and pestilence to pharoah it was spread to the every day citizen who had nothing to do with it. the toads could have rained in pharoahs house. the sons in pharoahs palace, boils in his household - but instead everyone else was collateral damage - the same thing trumps army of religious posers are going for

same as the story of job where satan, a fallen angel somehow got the same powers as God and agreed to wipe jobs whole family who had nothing to do with it as a dk measuring contest. then after he passed the test he was dashed a fresh family - almost as if family are npcs that can be discarded and replaced at will

Thank you brother. And the problem is that the OT is littered with too many absurd unjust stories like this.
Look at the instance where Yahweh murdered 70, 000 Jews because David conducted a census that Yahweh instigated him to conduct!

I am sure Patiks will call me an idiot for this again.

Nairalanda1 must be infuriated by this. I can just imagine him blowing hot and insisting more people must die from hunger in order to improve the economy.

Patiks:
Hmmm! Yahweh has committed so much atrocities that you find it so hard to mention one.
By the way, don't bother since the people of Jericho were saint in your eyes, every other si-ck depraved mind Yahweh dealt with will definitely be presented as saints.

Sigh. This is disappointing. Just tell me their offense. Because this sounds escapist. You actually asked me to cite one unjust war. I cite one and you then claim since I don't know the justification then I am a zombie and you leave it at that.

Think about the above. Is that a rational approach from you. Why then did you ask me to cite an example if you were only gonna reply like this.

Please go ahead and tell me their offense even if I am a zombie. Thanks.

Patiks:
Show me one example in the Old Testament where God backed a war that was based on injustice.

Its not only wars you know. Its all manner if barbarism and atrocities. But since yo asked for one war, let me ask what was the offense of the people of Jericho.

So much for your reading the Old Testament with crystal ball that's filled with murky waters of bias and self-righteousness.

I see your impulse is to defend your scripture. That is normal and understandable. Nonetheless the instances of atrocities commissioned by Yahweh in the OT are well known. I did not invent them and they have formed the basis for much controversy over centuries of academic discourse. So dont lash out at me.

I will be surprised if your Brian size is beyond that of a fish.
No wonder she has never spent enough time to know that time was created when universe itself was created. B4 that there was no concept of time.

You are woman anyway so no point.

This is disappointing. Such a sexist / misogynist post is something you should be ashamed of. It betrays a terrible mindset.

@unknownqueen: I am happy to say that I dont know. And I dont believe anyone knows. But I do believe there is something mysterious and beyond our understanding at the root of existence.

And yes, somethings are evidently timeless.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.


I am glad he is finally saved, never to return to sin, and a world where you have to hope for impossibilities.

For we the believers of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), we have been formed and built to always win and conquer.

Who is meek and lowly in heart?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
