TV01:
Deepsight here's your weekend portion

You claim that Christians rejecting slavery is evolution. A "moral evolution" that takes them away from the "slavery" you insist the bible endorses. Fine, let's work with that. If this moral evolution as you term it took place, it was either as a result of their faith or their culture - and all that entails - which led to the subsequent civilisational progress.

Could you please show evidence of that same "moral evolution" in moose.slim countries or jurisdictions - slavery is clearly embedded in their texts and they only "legally" ceased trading under threat of war - as recently as 1960 or thereabouts (you can still buy black people in those parts).

I quote my words to ono -

It is a pity that there is much that is very backward about this religion. And more so since it once experienced a golden age when it was the leading light of much advanced thought in the world.

Sadly it has been unable to shake off the tendency towards misogyny/ gender apartheid as well as a very violent streak which is taken straight from the pages of its scripture. The insistence on dictating what women wear in many Islamic countries, and the fact that in a place like Saudi Arabia until very very recently they were even denied the right to drive, is very telling. Many women in these theocratic places cannot even travel or move at all without permission from a male, what is that?

Beyond that look at the application of Shariah law in Northern Nigeria. It has been used to lock up several non Muslims for years - for alleged blasphemy in a supposedly secular country with constitutional freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought, conscience and religion? Look at the gruesome murder of Deborah, a Christian student in Northern Nigeria by a Muslim mob. Those who did it were on camera and they went scot free, even the governor justified it.

The truth is that this religion has an explicit creeping doctrine in which it seeks the total subjugation of the world to Islamic tenets. And in this they are specifically guided to appear moderate and gentle when in the minority but to become belligerent when in the majority. This is where the practice of Taqiyya often comes in. Telling lies to defend oneself and to defend Islam when in a weak position. But once they are in the majority, no one can truly be safe in terms of the rights we understand to be standard in the modern world.

Look at the practice of honor killing for example. What can we say of that.

There is too much that Islam has not evolved past and frankly it is still dwelling in the medieval world.

And lest I be accused of singling out moose.slims, please show where\when\how this moral evolution took place in your country? Where and when amongst the cultures or religions was it changed? I stand to be corrected, but there is nothing I can find?

Surely this ME would also encompass human sacrifice, blood offerings, money rituals etc. All of which are still rampant. Or, are they not as bad as slavery, which also still is.

+
Such evil exists on the fringes of society, and is criminalized by law and is not to be compared to that which was orthodox and legal such as slavery in its time - not just legal but defended morally by scripture.

Or perhaps you are just claiming the countries\nations\peples whith historic Judeo-Christian backgrounds are better . I an't callin' nobody "House N" or "Uncle R", just saying

TV

+
Nonsense.
As history shows, Judeo-Christian background didnt lead to freedom or egalitarian societies.
Gradual moral evolution through rebellions, wars did - and the efforts during the age of enlightenment / the renaissance, were key

Biodun1929:
They will definitely make a Hollywood movie about this. Behind Enemy Lines 2

That occured to me instantly.
E too sure.

I am sure they are working in the screenplay already.

Nwaikpe:
But e sweet say you got the message!

+
I still dislike it. Sounds like saying "strengthness." There is a tautology inherent in that.

Anyone who has a real understanding of English will understand what I am saying.

The quality of being strong is called strength. You don't need to add "Ness" to it. The quality of being mighty is called might. You don't need to add anything to it.

At best it is an archaic usage that can only be found in drama or some poetry with poetic license.

Mightiness is not current proper usage but anyone can write what they like.

I sha advise you not to use it in civilised or polished company. They will snigger at you.

musicwriter:
Of course, that's the lie that Christendom has heaped on your head.

There's a book you can quickly read to set yourself free. It's called THE 16 CRUCIFIED SAVIOURS. All of them were called "Christ" before anybody heard about your God Jesus.

In fact, Ptolemy, the second in command to Alexander the great, called himself "Christ" about 300 BC. Soter means "Saviour, Redeemer, Deliverer." So, stop talking what you know nothing about

+
I think you assume too much, are pompous in your assumptions and therefore rude without thinking. You also imagine you know it all.
And what have you assumed here? You have assumed that I am Christian and that I believe the Jesus story.

Kukutente23:
Stop doing oversabi
Mightiness is a word

+
It's archaic.
And I don't like it. . . . Very inelegant.

Kukutente23:
That's true
There were more casualties on the Iranian side

+
Likely. . . . Possible.

sonmvayina:
Scripture never said that. It is the Christian deception. Please read Isaiah 44 and 45 for clarity.....

+
"1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made"

- John 1:1-3

Lucifyre:
For any claim or proposition to be considered true in the first place, there are certain requirements it must meet; otherwise, it’s just an empty claim. Truth, as we understand it, is objective. Truth is verifiable and demonstrable. Truth stands regardless of belief or acceptance.

Truth is falsifiable and consistent. Truth is non-contradictory. And Christianity quite clearly falls short of these criteria, making its claims anything but established truth. In fact, no religion meets that standard— they all make assertions and label them as truth. That’s a big difference.

+
Truth may not be verifiable, demonstrable or falsifiable. Because there are many things that are true that no human being can ever know about, talk less of verify, demonstrate or falsify.

But yes, Truth must be consistent. And it stands regardless of belief.

musicwriter:
So, you know all that? If so, it doesn't appear you made the first comment that I replied to.

As you rightly said, the concept of "Christ" has been for thousands of years before anybody heard of Jesus. Europeans coalesced all the older "Christ" stories that existed in the known world to create Jesus.

People called "Christ" and sons of Gods before Jesus include; Horus, Krishna, Buddha, Mithra, Zoroaster, Ptolemy Soter, etc).

Europeans simply coalesced all of them and fashioned out Jesus. That's why Jesus has all the attributes of the older Saviours, Redeemers, Messiah

+
The word "Christos" existed in Greek, yes and simply meant "anointed one" and was commonly used, but the concept as a saving messiah did not exist, that concept came from the Jews.

Realinfogeneral:
The mightiness of the US military !

+
There is no word such as the bold.
Just say "might"

Anyone who thinks there were no further casualties in this operation must be assuming too much at this stage.

10 15 years from now, there might be no Christian in northern Nigeria. Then another 10-15 years, Nigeria will become a full islamic country.

The American empire is more far reaching that any empire that has ever existed. It reaches every corner of the globe

You should get some education. In Nigeria that you live now go and check the country most Nigerians will prefer to japa to if given the visa

+
This is illiterate and ahistorical.

musicwriter:
I no longer have time for this type of discussion because any discussion about Jesus is waste of time.

There was nobody that ever existed in this world called Jesus Christ. It's a complete forgery.

Jesus NEVER existed and I've already pointed you to a book to learn how the story evolved from a snake. But while you can take a horse to the stream, you can't force it to drink

+
And I asked if you are the author.

Tctrills, SIRTee15 -

Verses that contradict the idea that Jesus could have died for our sins.

Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin (Deuteronomy 24:16).

Everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge (Jeremiah 31:30).

The one who sins is the one who will die (Ezekiel 18:4).

READ THE BIBLE CAREFULLY, IT'S FULL OF CONTRADICTS. I don't even want to talk out outright lies in the Bible because that's completely off you

+
Thanks for this. I will pick three verses there for another thread where I will mention you.

raumdeuter:
None of these nations and empires did their reach spread to the world. How many got to South America got to the far east

+
As far as empires go, the USA has never had any tangible empire especially compared to Britain which had the largest and most expansive empire in history covering all continents.

Are you this unschooled?

Nwaikpe:
Come on, guys!


You guys are falling into the Iranians' hands.
Is Iran that weak that they celebrate the downing of two aircraft after a one-month war, as a victory?

Iraq, which didn't make as much noise as Iran, could shake off up to 436 soldiers.
But we are talking about Iran, which has made so much noise, but at this point, America could go into their territory, pick up their soldiers, and leave with only losing some rescue crafts.

Come on! That is low.

+
Nonsense.

raumdeuter:
What is the greatest country ever?

+
Any of Egypt, Rome (Empire of), Greece, Persia, and possibly Britain (Empire of) may be considered.

In Nigeria you are, any riot when elections get rigged, when there is oppression why is it that its the US embassy you tag, why dont you tag any of these beacon of good and promoters of world peace

+
Nonsense.

Nigerians are being killed its the US president who spoke about it, where are those beacon of good to do the same?

+
He also talked about saving the Iranian people - how far with that project since he now threatens to bomb them to the stone age?
What has his intervention in Nigeria achieved so far, aside from the bombing that did zilch?

Venezuela nko? Cuba nko?

raumdeuter:
The American fighter jet pilot has been rescued from behind enemy lines

Thats the military that uninformed people like nateevs was saying is down and diminished

God bless the United States. The greatest country ever

+
The US is not the greatest country ever. Also it has become a beacon of evil and a threat to world peace as it has an insatiable appetite for blood to feed its military contractors.

TV01:
He says! Why exactly?

What was it you wrote on the other thread that was deleted.

TV01, try and for once be scholarly. I tend to relate better with studious and scholarly people or responses.
Not with ill-thought-out, shallow and lazy words put out as though scribbled by a chicken.

TV01:
How for do we have to be removed from this history for this kind of threat to be completely enervated? Is it a forever thing? I watched the video - the brother in question did not bat an eyelid, just continued making his case. Not sure he requires someone living in the backside of iyana-ipaja to advise him of his victim status .


Please sir, since you associated the term "weight" to this and even went as far as to say "specific", could you kindly quantify exactly what this weight is. How it specifically affects, or is supposed to affect individual Africa-Americans? Does it lead to mental or physical distress of some kind? If so, what are the symptoms - and the medical interventions required? Should there be legal redress?

One of the hallmarks of your narrative/discussive style is the ability to search far up your fundament and pull out notions that are at best ill-considered, and usually just inane (only matched by your propensity for dodging questions .

Likewise the "moral evolution" bloviate you spouted earlier . If it exists, what precipitates it? My learned friend, it takes zero competence to stand you on your head - just a read of your headache-inducing babble .

Empty vain vacuous piffle.

BadBradley:
People don't really get it, if the story is true, the priest is complicit.

No matter the level of demon possession in a woman , she just doesn't send her nudes to her priest without feeling the man is into that kind of stuffz either through utterances or rumours.

The priest also said she wasn't the only one. From that kind of deflective talk , he's into that kind of stuff.
