HungerBAD:
The African Culture teaches our women how to dress respectfully by covering themselves up decently.

Proffdada:
sit down and relax, don't make your case worse

banmee:
Let me enlighten you then. If you had said you did, i would have pointed out that as a car owner in Nigeria, you would have been stopped at one point in time by a policeman. Can you honestly say in the presence of God you don't give bribes? Be honest to yourself. To you that is not significant but it is a problem. It solidifies the phucked up way you all think. To you it is normal.

banmee:
Guy. I am waiting for your answer. Do you have a car?

banmee:
It's true na. Come and give bribe here and see what will happen to you. Do you have a car?

banmee:
My familly is not. Where we live we know the repercussion of being corrupt. In Nigeria, there are none. I ask you, do you have a car? If you do, you are corrupt.

banmee:
Guy. Try help yourself. You and million of Nigerians have been carrying this mindset for decades, where has it gotten you. I asked you if you had a car? I want to prove to you that you are corrupt.

banmee:
It is not the opinion of an illiterate.

It is an opinion of an enlightened individual

trying to educate people who think like children.

And you might wanna brush up on your comprehension of what a "bigot" is.

DeSepiero:
Are they necessarily supposed to do something? They arrived at a state of unbelief from their enquiry and that's it.

banmee:
Every [size=16pt]single [/size]Nigerian living in Nigeria is corrupt. There are no angels [size=16pt]there.[/size] The system nutures the corrupt mentality. That does not stop me from questioning how a woman like that can amass such wealth. If you all keep this mentality of "since he is corrupt i will be corrupt too", there be nothing left in a few years time.

DeSepiero:
Atheism is also probably just the last bus stop.

You should rather argue that atheism restricts free thought which I believe to a large extent is correct.

DeSepiero:
May I add; restrictions are especially on the existence of god.
Atheism isn't necessarily seeking answers to proof or disprove Gods existence.

DeSepiero:
Arrh!! You're regressing o.

hahn:
All I need to believe in god is a knock on my door from him/she/it.

It is supposed to know my address

banmee:
Of course the courts should do their works. That does not mean you don't have the mental capacity as a private citizen to ask yourself logical questions when such facts are laid down in front of you. Questions like "how does a woman, who does not have any kind of skill, that can't even express herself, be able to acquire this kind of amount of money"? Do you honestly know how much 19 million dollars is? This is problem with Nigeria and Nigerians. The abnormal is normal to all of you. Have you ever wondered why the country is the way it is? Because you allow unheard of things to happen. Look around you. Does your environment seem normal? You lot have been thinking this way since independence. How is it working for you?

Alcatraz003:
If Jonathan is arrested what will happen? You will blow more pipelines or igbos will commit mass suicide by waging war against Nigeria?

What exactly will your lots do? Please educate us on this forum.

Spirituality dey epp some peeps

For instance, when faced with their mortality, one can make up any wishy washy unverifiable claim to make himself feel better. Eg, the soul (whatever that is) floats to a higher plane if the person is good (no doubt the claimant will claim he is one of these good peeps). This way the person can sleep better at night. Pointing out there's no difference between this claim and claiming you are instead bound for Valhalla, if you're a good enough warrior that is, will no doubt land on deaf ears, but mayhaps I digress

Anyways, in other words, it's a placebo. And like all placebos, eg religion, well, they come with their folly.

So yeah, ultimately quite shortsighted

plaetton:
No , wordy sire.
What manner of sorcery do you accuse me of ?

I am surely not.

plaetton:
Lol.

Isn't that the great thing about invisible things ?

You can simply attach them to anything, anytime it suites you.

JackBizzle:
I was more interesting when you thought that I was Plaetton?

See how you think?

plaetton:
No sir.
Jackbizzle is Logicboy, the old nemesis of the religious nuts, sophists and word salad chefs of Nairaland.

He makes some very remarkable points.

The So-called spirituality is nothing but plain old psychology, clothed with exoteric sophistry.

JackBizzle:
4 glorious years and baba deepsight aka deepardo has not stopped making word salads full of verbose nonsense.

The only difference between spirituality and religion is that spirituality is less tangible. Spirituality gets you nothing, hence, the title- "who spirituality don epp?"



What has anyone truly gained from this so called spirituality? Knowledge? Love? Happiness? The fact remains that every good thing in life can be gotten without spirituality.

Spirituality is just a voodoo smokescreen for the dishonest to sound mystical. What you call "spiritual" is just a glorified mystical adjective put on a normal event. Examples-

-Smoking weed is seen as spiritual. Yet, most weed smokers smoke it for the high or calming effect.
-Meditation is seen as spiritual. Yet, many people meditate just for relaxation and to clear thoughts.


There is no such thing as spirituality- there are only people that use term to sound mystical or esoteric.

plaetton:
And you know this for sure?

plaetton:
It is my observation that people obsessed with spirituality are people looking for a backdoor, a short cut to navigate reality.

Everyone wants an advantage, an advantage over others, to know something that others do not know that would confer an advantage to them in certain or all aspects of life.

This, I surmise, is the basis of spiritual pursuit.

Spirituality promises people the so-called keys to knowledge, advantage and success. This is probably why spirituality is very popular in third world countries that are in left behind technological advancements .

It is motivated by self interest, the selfish gene .
