I would rather be rich and "evil" than poor. I think the poor are very wicked also.

ufotunang:
.. some of them will adopt children

Negroid001:
Nah. In this age and time. You should be accountable.
If waiting to have kids till my life is aligned means my dick is dry. Thank you

BondRiv:
What reason do you want? They don't owe you one. It is a choice. Simple.

jaephoenix:
Keep to your psychotic views. I'm done

Lucifyre:
I agree cause it's not even be been demonstrated a god exists.

Kingsempires:
hmmmm 🤔 I don't understand you

Electorate:
Why are poor people worried about rich people decisions especially when they are personal decisions.

doctor306:
The dude seams to be living in a bottle covered with his imagination cus every single thing he wrong is piece of crap ! “IT doesn’t matter how much you earn but how much you can save “ absolute crap imagine saying I leave better than a senator because he doesn’t know how to save !!

GloriousGbola:
absolute nonsense

there are enough evil people in the world who have had children - some were leaders whose children became ven more evil than them

a person can take a conscious decision not to have children for any number of reasons.

unfortunately africans seem to think raising a child is simply about being an ATM . which is why you see some rich people with a several badly raised children [because they never actually took the time to raise them]

raising a child requires discipline and focus and changing on your own part
not everyone wants to change their lifestyle

in any event - they also look at you the same way -

johnog4sure:
Soon as I know Demiurge I felt like not having children, you do not know what they know don;t judge

MrPresidon:
It is better to deviate from this mentality that rich people are bad, have you heard of the unspeakable things that have been done by poor people? Some of the most morally sound people that I've seen or met have come from wealthy homes. I grew up in the ghettos, and that is a place I never wish to go back to cos it's home to many of the atrocities you can think of. Remember, being poor is not just about your pockets, but the mind also and from what I've seen and experienced, poor people have some of the most evil minds.

LordReed:
Wait so you think having children is a punishment from your god?

icankel:
If your mom or dad couldn't run away from each other then there is something good with marriage.

Kingsempires:
😅😅😅😅😅😅 but how on world in this our present time someone will get attracted to a nine years ago child for marriage Omo people dey oooo!!!

jaephoenix:
You are denser than dense.
The OP stated that religionists assume that the exquisite design of the universe must require a creator and thus since the creator is exquisite, then it must require a creator.
He also stated that theists claim god is eternal and thus not created.
The above premises point to a fallacy: Special Pleading

DisLifeSha:
31 right now, no money, nobody can force me..

delishpot:
As the mumu man who is supposed to be head of family and man in society didn't have sense to run when they force him to marry, why do you think the women who are mostly in worse situation than him should d be the ones to run?

Hellisreal70:
Are you poor and being forced to marry?

Lucifyre:
Man made god(s) in his image, likeness and thoughts ergo you have god(s) having anthropomorphic features. There's no way for those who claim an opposite stance to hold that stance without resorting to the overly flogged special pleading & infinite regress conundrums.

UncleAyo:
Let’s assume for a moment that these complex forms cannot be adequately explained by evolutionary processes alone. If that’s the case, the God who created such extraordinary complexity must Himself be unimaginably complex. And complexity, by this reasoning, does not simply arise by chance.

This leads to an important question: Who created God? If all complex existences require a designer, wouldn’t the creator of the sun, stars, and all things need an even greater designer?

tctrills:
Your short answer is that these men of old followed the ways God through their intelligence and not through revelation?
Are you saying that with just our intelligence and without revelation, man can discover the one true God, know his ways and serve him?

Your last point is that until the coming of the law, men did not know right from wrong. But then what happened to Adam and Eve when they ate the fruit?

ThatWriterBoy:
I see your point, but how can we know that it wasn't for free? Couldn't Joseph have just declared that 1/5th of all produce goes to the king and the Egyptian farmers complied?

ThatWriterBoy:
Hello. It's me again. This time I'm just considering something. I know it's probably silly, but please bear with me.

Could it be that Joseph was an unjust ruler in Egypt and that was why the Egyptians hated Israel and turned them into slaves later?

If you read Genesis 41 where Joseph interpreted Pharoah's dream and started his work, the food he collected belonged to the Egyptian farmers. He told Pharoah to collect a portion of the food planted during the season of plenty, that the Egyptian farmers laboured to plant and harvest.

And then in Genesis 47, he started to sell the same food he freely collected back to the people he collected it from until they could no longer pay with money or their livestock, and they had to become Pharaoh's slaves just to eat.

That doesn't sound fair to me.

And then his people, who did not plant those crops, didn't have to buy them from Joseph, didn't have to sell their livestock, and didn't have to become slaves, but yet had enough to eat. For free.

The text said 66 members of Jacob's family moved into Egypt. 66 people that did not contribute eating for free, while the natives had to buy back their own crops they freely gave to Joseph.

What do you think?

Negroid001:
Let me put it this way.
My street is a kind of vip close with security and all. A street filled with high income earners.

The street after ours is the opposite, it's rural, noisy and you get where I'm driving at.

No one under the age of 30 has given birth in my street including females.
This is a stark contrast to the one after ours. Teenage pregnancy is rampant, childbirth out of wedlock, baby mama baby daddy ish.

Why is this so? It's not just about being rich, it's the fact we're well aware of the responsibilities that comes with childbirth. It's not a joke.
Many couples are struggling today because of one silly mistake.

My friends from the other street, most of have given birth, I'm older than some. They advise me to give birth and not worry that God will take control.

Nah we don't do that here. We're F**** accountable

suckprick:
While the rich and successful people are busy thinking of ways to grow in every aspect of their life. Poor people mind and thoughts are clouded with big yansh, big breast and sex- sex - sex all the time (reason they born plenty). Now you know why they are poor.

Nnamdipapa:
People work very hard to be rich and you believe they are evil for being rich? The most wicked are the poor people.

Nnamdipapa:
Why would a person earn 60k per month? Is there anyone earning N60k per month? How would they survive alone?

koladata:
My brother takes time to research how people with low incomes live. That 20k is a two-month feeding allowance for some families and they don't even look it. That bottle of coke you drink is some family's daily food budget and they are also living fine some times better than us. It’s hard to imagine, but I know a family whose total income doesn’t even reach 50k, both are teachers, and they are a family of three. Despite this, they own a piece of landed property in Ikorodu. I’m not saying this to sound good; I genuinely know this family.

I was at a shop buying foodstuff when someone came to buy 100-naira red oil. I asked the woman what the person planned to use it for. She said they would pour it over their rice with no stew, just oil and salt. I gave the woman some money to give him if he came around again and asked her to get his phone number for me.

I carefully tried to research this man's life. It turns out that he and his wife wake up as early as 4:30 a.m. and trek to work every day—a distance of about 20 km from where they live o. The surprising part is that their struggles don’t show much in their lifestyle. They seem like regular people you’d see daily, and they even dress better than some people. But shockingly, they also own landed property. He said told me the only problem that is not helping him to save much is his rent , but once they finish their property , that one will be solved.

I didn’t bother asking about their exact salary, but I’m 100% sure it’s not up to 50k.

so my brother its not about how much you earn, its about how much you can save

koladata:
Poor is better defined by how much you can save, not just how much you earn. You might be surprised to find that someone earning 20k can save consistently, while someone earning 60k might struggle to save anything. Regardless of income, if you can't save, financial instability and poverty remains, even if you're earning 1 million.
