The actions of Jesus while alive and the consequent huge following and repute was enough for him to formalize a religion if he wanted one. Why wait till demise?

Secondly, the huge following while he was alive was enough for it to be mistaken or deliberately made for and a religion respectively. This never occurred.

After his demise, people had a name for the followers and preachers of Christ. No one made a religion of it, not even Paul fundamentally looking at it. More so is that post-Jesus, his followers did not ascribe a religion to what they practiced. They called themselves "brothers".

This proves that after practicing everything Jesus gave, a religion did not naturally or artificially occur.

It occurred by the singular action of Constantine.

chieveboy:
Taking Jesus injunction and the practices he established for a religion is a deductive error.

Even for olden times, religions have concrete head and tails for identity. They have religions which are unmistakable.

Other than Jesus, there are hundreds of others who came with one ideology or the other and where never construed as religions.

Granted people will naturally ascribe a name to a movement, this had never been mistaken for religions nonetheless.

If we are to take rituals and training of disciples and offspring for a religion, would you say the Igbos Nwa Boy system is a religion? What about traditional healers?

That said, Christianity became a religion owing to the actions of Emperor Constantine. No more,no less. You could actually get your answer after defining the term itself.

Most of your knowledge is hinged on half knowledge and outright ignorance. The rest comes from being pathologic at lying while making attempts to present blue as orange before people who practically are saner and could cure the apparent delusion you are under.

1: Bhudism historically is the, or one of the most peaceful religions. Christianity is far from being the most peaceful. The harsh treatments JWs get like excommunications, gaslighting etc would not isolate it as a peaceful sect/religion for your information..

2: Jesus never gave an instruction for a religion to be created after him neither did any biblical scripture for that matter.

3: There exist for the records the identity of the person responsible for institutionalising a movement called "Christianity" beyond the first person known as Paul. His name is emperor Constantine. His motive was not biblically inspired (the Christian Bible didn't exist in his time).

Other than these, no record of the Israeli God and his son asking anyone from a religion.

Records= Zero.

The creation of congressional districts should not be based on race.
Final ruling.
Democrats have abused that. Courts have imposed districts where democrats are likely to win.

Obama won some white solid republican states like Indiana or Ohio and retained others.

An election win should be based on policy or substance not just race.

what is this 'op' symbol

is this day of pronouns one gats to ask

tctrills:
You are right, we all know what is being done here.
The US is choosing to abide by it's constitution but it doesn't favour the Dems.
The US is going colour blind by your side want segregation.
Yes, what's good for the goose is good for the gander but Dems don't see it that way. That's why in the North East despite 40% voting republican, we don't have a single republican district.

The only reason the Dems are scared is that that have over gerrymandered that they have very little room for more. The republicans actually have more bullets than them this time.

Also with the 2030 census coming up, the republicans could easily have 12 more seats.

But then, we should we have segregated districts in a country?

How dies this make sense in 2026?

tctrills:
The supreme court says you can't segregate people based on colour
Démocrates claim it is a racist ruling.
Dems believe that segregation is the solution to racism.
The supreme court says all Americans should be treated equally, no special districts based on the colour of your skin.
But Dems want segregated district's.
Who do you support?
Do you support segregation as the solution to racism or do you want a colour blind society.
DeepSight the bast guy, what says you?

basilico:
A lot of people don't see it this way.

When democrats carve out a black district ,they are in effect segregating.
They get their black safe districts.

The suburbs get their Republican safe districts too.

So in effect they are creating separate black and mostly white enclaves .

A racist republican doesn't depend on appealing across the board to all voters.
A black house rep knows he only needs to win the primary to retain his seat.Ditto the Republican.

An example.
Spreading Democratic voters thinly across multiple districts to maximize Republican seats, a Democratic surge in a midterm year could actually make up to three separate South Carolina districts highly competitive for Democrats

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. AG Todd Blanche just dropped a bombshell, confirming the DOJ has MULTIPLE active 2020 election fraud investigations in Georgia and Arizona

"We're very focused on finding out whether the right people voted, whether people that were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per voter!"
"There's a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That's not something the DOJ needs to tell you about. There's been evidence about that for many, many years!"

"That's what we're doing in multiple states. You'll say to me, how long has it taken? Why has it taken so long? The reality of the answer is because it takes a lot of work to uncover what happened in 2020."

"It takes a lot of old, good old fashioned law enforcement police work, which is what we're doing."

"We have great prosecutors working on it as well. I assure you, I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it's charges, whether it's a report, whether it's a result of an investigation, the American people will learn about what we uncovered

Do you know why I like you? You are the barometer I used to judge the left?
Whenever you start throwing tantrums and acting the way you do, I can always tell that your side is getting uncomfortable with hearing the truth.

That's why I like we on the right we are always open to discussion and debate. We know we are correct and are always trying to convince and teach and instruct you guys.

But of course cancel culture and throwing of tantrums is all you have in your defense and unfortunately it sometimes works.

tctrills:
Lol
Stop being pained. Your naivety never works. You should have learnt that by now. It only shows how weak you are.
I understand you want me out of the conversation, you can't stand my opinion. You have said you even want me dead
But man up my boy. I am not going away.

tctrills:
With people like you, the black race is doomed.
You have never at any point suggested changes that blacks and black communities need to make to get better.

To you, everyone else need to change for the blacks. The blacks are just helpless victims.

In hundred years from today, your clones will still be preaching the same doctrines while the black race only gets worse.

How about we copy hard work and excellence from the Asians.?
How about we copy building and progressing as a community like the Jews?
How about we copy the frontier and adventurous spirit of the Europeans.
Or we even go back to our roots where morality mattered a lot?

The blacks need direction not excuses.

You Mr Deepsight have become the king of excuses.
But I don't blame you, it's a leftist thing. Personal responsibility is always lacking.

I have been seeing cococandy criticize a 19 year old getting married .
What do you think about this law? Under 18 shouldn't be allowed to mutilate their bodies by all means.

Mirasteel:
His brother is wise enough not to do something like that.

Go and insult or defame his kid if you won't rot in prison too.

Yes there are exceptions and yes hardwork will pay eventually but black people are not at the bottom of the wealth gap because they do not work hard. That lie falls apart the moment you look at American history and the actual data. Black people worked through slavery with no pay.

Worked through segregation with lower wages. Worked through discrimination where jobs, promotions, unions, land ownership, business loans, and housing opportunities were deliberately blocked. You cannot build generational wealth when the system spends generations preventing you from owning assets. The average Black family is not starting from the same financial starting line.

White families were able to pass down homes, businesses, land, investments, and inheritances for generations. Many Black families were locked out of those opportunities through redlining, discriminatory banking, predatory lending, unequal schools, mass incarceration, and policies that stripped wealth from Black neighborhoods while wealth was expanding elsewhere.

And even today, Black Americans still work at extremely high rates across healthcare, transportation, education, logistics, retail, public service, manufacturing, and countless other industries. The issue is not laziness. The issue is ownership, access to capital, inheritance, home values, investment opportunity, and systems that historically allowed one group to accumulate wealth while another group was denied the same access.

You cannot tell people to “just work harder” when many Black families have been working for centuries while being denied the same return on that work. That is not a personal failure. That is a measurable economic pattern.

benalvino3:
Wow 😱😱😱😳😳😳

It exists in the West. Ask the democrats what they are doing with Medicaid and the pirates in Minnesota.

But continue with this stupid whataboutism if you may.

Corruption is not a thing in the state of the country because there is corruption elsewhere

benalvino3:
I am not corrupt. But Nigeria has a problem with corruption. Even if you are not, you are forced to be corrupt.

The police is a good example, the lecturers you paid to get good grades, etc.

We could have easily said no and go through the stress and process fighting it. But the whole country is corrupt.

bayelsaowei:
Let Trump and his ilks be in power for another four decades and watch how America retrogresses into a third world country.

I have been drawing a lot of parallels between the America of today and Nigeria.. so much similarities.

benalvino3:
Nigeria can only change when the people move away from these cultures : greed, corruption, negligence, etc.

benalvino3:
With all the corruption and magu-magu, insecurity, etc.

That is getting worse with time, we need more time, we are just starting.

You are delusional.

benalvino3:
Don't bring climate to this talk then. We have been wasteful.

How many nights do we need. Israel got it right in so quick they visited the United States and started sharing their farming techniques with them.

All the tools they needed to succeed were there. If you cant do it yourself, call in the foreign experts to help. But those expert can't help in budget allocation and how to run the country. They can't help to groom the thoughts of the people, behavior and lifestyle.

We have a corrupt culture in Nigeria. Africa as a whole. We are so greedy.

benalvino3:
Start from scratch?
How many years are you suggesting?
Why are all the waterboards dead?

Why can't we refine our own oil?

Are we going to need 200 years to have running tap water when we already had that in the 60s?

So the issue is not simply 60 years is too small. 60 years is small if a country is building serious institutions. But 60 yeas is long enough to know whether a country is moving forward or going backward.

benalvino3:
What multitude of factors that are at play? You are just wasting people's time looking for excuses when the issues have been stretch and made big enough for you to see.

So stoo hiding behind multitude of factors, I already named them: leadership, corruption, weak institutions, tribalism, insecurity, bad education, poor planning, energy failure, and no maintenance culture.

Nobody said black people are daft. That is your strawman. The point is that many African governments and societies tolerate failure, corruption, and decay. We have a greedy mindset or should I say culture. It is why you see corruption from the ground up. It's not only politicians that are the problem. You know why I keep saying people like you are why the country has failed?

This is 2026. Independence was in the 1960. Man reached space in that same era. Countries with worse starting conditions rebuilt themselves. Israel turned desert into cities. Singapore had no natural resources. South Korea rose from poverty. Germany and Japan rebuilt after destruction. Should I go on?

So after 60+ years, blaming climate and history for abandoned water systems, bad roads, no electricity, corrupt contracts, and public theft is just excuse-making.

Climate can make development harder. It does not steal public funds. It does not abandon hospitals. It does not rebuild the same road every four years. People and governments do that.

benalvino3:
One simple question, how did Israel and Saudi Arabia build cities and farms from a barren land (desert)?

benalvino3:

So stop pretending the argument is environment does not matter.

Environment matters, but it does not excuse corruption, incompetence, tribal politics, poor maintenance, and bad leadership forever.

God did not create the earth with skyscrapers and oil rigs. Society is about developing and adapting to your environment. We have completely failed.

And black countries are not even all in the same geography. Africa has deserts, rainforests, savannahs, mountains, coastlines, mineral-rich zones, oil-producing regions, fertile lands, and major river systems.

So this lazy temperate zone vs tropical zone argument cannot explain everything.
