Nope. But I would also ask you, what does God’s existence have to do with whether or not I think my house created itself? Could you elucidate on that?

Are you making an analogy between my house to the visible universe?

This thread is for shameless Africans who are in love with their slave masters' religion.

Biggeststar01:
It has always boggled my mind how believers in the God concept or the supernatural, could be so cocksure about their beliefs despite the apparent lack of empirical evidence (at least from the scientific perspective). So I thought I’d ask, what were the signs or better still, what piece of evidence convinced you of your beliefs and could you demonstrate?

Biggeststar01:
disagree.

First of all, you would have to prove the existence of a god before making assumptions about its nature, its behavior and its interaction with material existence...

guysbewise:
This makes sense

Kobojunkie:
Matthew 7 vs 6 & Matthew 10 vs 1 - 10 & Matthew 15 vs 20 - 24. These are Jesus Christ's explicit teachings and commandments given to His disciples who all happened to be Israelites, and found right there in the same book you quoted from in your OP.

There is nothing here to counter since you just tied yourself into a preztel doing mental gymnastics.

AntiChristian:
[size=12ptWhat about if the culture was supported by God in the Bible like Onanism and stoning stubborn or rebellious child to death?

The term "Onanism" originates from the biblical figure Onan, who is mentioned in the Book of Genesis (Chapter 38). Onan was instructed to fulfill a duty to his deceased brother by marrying his brother's widow and producing offspring. Instead, he practiced withdrawal to avoid fathering a child, which led to significant consequences.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21
If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.[/size]

Kingsempires:
Matthew 6;7-8 ;

7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.


I don't really understand this verse but my own understanding for this verse ;

Padipadi:

You should rather condemn the gay trash talk.
If Jesus did any unholy thing He wouldn't escape the eye of the Rabbi of those days.
In all, let's respect Yeshua Mr Daejumong and wherever this crap came from.
The world is boiling already and religious issues shouldn't compound the tensed atmosphere.

LordReed:
The mental gymnastics on display here is testament to the madness inducing nature of it.

You don't have to accept as they need no permissions from you in any way. You don't know how they were born as you only know yourself. This illusion of control is what drives me up the wall. Just live your life and protect your azz.

Goodmarlian:
am quite sure you as a person reading this have a flaw in your personality that people complain about? You want to change this flaw but it seems it's embedded in your DNA,you find it very hard or almost impossible to change it seems you are just fighting with who you are, it makes you feel bad sometimes ,you succeeded in controlling it sometimes but once in a while you loose your guard it pops up again and people complain about it, I personally have a so many flaws in my personalty I try to change since since childhood but it's still there despite how hard I try infact I have given up because it made me age pretty fast.
Some people have personality flaws that annoy people around them,it could be that you Are a psychopath ( wicked) , you could be narcissist,you are stingy,rude and you have tried to change but to no avail or you have just accepted it as a part of you,guess what! Same thing applies to 90% of gay people some were born that way,it's who they are, biology,evolution, creation made them that way they are not just attracted to the opposite sex.
We didn't create ourselves we came into this imperfect world unfair world with so many flaws and weaknesses some are beyond our control but they world will definitely judge because truly it can be annoying but you cannot change who you are.
I do not support gay people but it do not subscribe to assaulting them,if you wanna gay gay in your closet don't bring it to the public because humans like adventuring and experimenting .

Some times ago I felt everything I knew was common every where but receny I came to realise that many sense we take common are not really common. And so I brought you some cultures and tradition practiced in some different part of the country that you may not know they really exist.
Culture is people way of life. It is a legally or generally accepted ways of doing things. Whatsoever a small group of people agreed on becomes their own culture.
First on the list it

1. Indirect woman to woman marriage..
I have witnessed this at southern part of Nigeria, ohaozarah Local Government of Ebonyi State precisely ànd from Nollywood movie titled Queen Elizabeth I came to realise that it is a normal practice in South East and other parts of Nigeria.
It is indirect marriage because it was never like what we call lesbianism today. From the elders, they said it was designed to curb the evil practise of people who go ahead to cease every property left to a widow by the husband either because she had no son or no child at all. And before this culture was erected, people go extra mile to eliminate a married brother before he start making babies but this culture came and drastically reduced such wickedness while preserving some rights, command and authority to a widow.
It goes like this, A married woman (you must be married before you do this) who has no son before the husband died or one who is married to a polygamous man and either had no son or child but wish that her own stool be continued get permission (to marry another woman) from the extend family if the husband is late and if the husband is still alive she then start the permission from the husband before extending it. When approved, she marrys the lady who may already has child(ren) but may be the father of the kid(s) could no longer be traced, automatically the children becomes hers(first woman) and bears the first woman's husband names as surname. And if she (newly married one) has no kid then she would be given to a man who is not related to the extended family of her new home to make her conceive.
Mind you the husband of the first woman dare not touch the new lady sexually, it is abomination. The relatives dare not have any sexual relationship with her because it is abominable. And the new married lady or woman is never permitted to be jumping from one man to another but to stick to a particular man known and approved by the family members to help her make babies. She is to address the first woman as her husband and give her husband respect while the woman Carter for her and her kids. It is a culture and still in practice till today.

2. Payment for breaking a girl's virginity. This is widely practiced in some parts of UROBO, Oghara of Ethiope West in Delta State precisely. It sounds crazy but it has its backing. The fore men discovered the rate at which people were having premarital sex in this area and in order to reduce the menace coming from such act they established this culture to help them preserve their ladies for a man who may marry her and so they stipulated a higher monetary price to be paid after doing away with the virginity of any lady. It maybe going well before but currently this has set the mind of any little girl from this area on money. It was so bad that even some ladies request for money before giving out their contact.
It goes like this, if a girl got disvirgined, either she make it known to the mother or the mother discovers on her own accord and she move direct to the house of the man/guy to get the virginity payment. And if the guy resist, then the case would be reported to the community leaders who would flog him and enforce the payment.
The money is used to buy the girl somethings. However, you can give a date of payment if you are not financially buoyant that moment. The amount ranges from 15k to how much love or financially bouyancy of the guy. But in case of rape, you are paying what the family demand or face the community wrath. Believe me Oghara Task Force is
not ordinary any how you want it you get it. It is also a disgrace to a girl that her virginity money was not paid and one who got a higher pay makes boast out of it.

3. Twins seniority
I was thinking that just like Southern Nigeria every other zone give seniority to one of the twins who was delivered first. But some parts of Benue State, Idoma, Apa LGA precisely proved me a learner. This good people give seniority to the twins who came second. They believed that they started exercising seniority from the womb and that's while the second one has to command the first to go out f
and know the situation of things. And since it only elder ones that commands and send the younger ones on an errand then the second to be delivered becomes the senior. Know that in Southern part of Nigeria the first to come is always the senior, and seeing it done the other way may be a surprise to some of us.
These are three cultures I found and believed they are not generally practiced everywhere in the country. And you should also know that every culture even the craziest one has reason why it was established though it may also has its short comings. Nigeria is a great nation.

Widow inheritance is one suprising culture I am yet to fathom. Especially a son inheriting the young wife of a late father.

Sp1ritHusband:
Correct guy.

You got to live once and your life is not supposed to end because of marriage. This other woman treats me like a king, gives me attention like Kilode and buys gifts for me like there is no tomorrow even when I never asked for it. Now, wifey is begging for sex and I have to think about it a little bit.

Sp1ritHusband:
Kiddo, this is adult discussions. Go play with toys or something. I don't care about your God.

CockPit:
You guys are not sexually compatible, plain and simple.

Your options are in the following order;

1. End the marriage and find someone sexually compatible.
2. Get a side cheek and keep your marriage
3. Stay and remain sex-starved.
4. Get a good lubricant and start a campaign of vigorous masturbations'. I will suggest two, One oil-based and, another, water-based.

The bad news, She is not gonna change, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. She is who she is and, you are who you are.

All the proponents of no sex before marriage, see what you have caused.

Me , my problem is I want to have sex in the kitchen, bathroom, car. I also want to introduce some kinky roleplays and she would not allow. As a genuine born again Christian, what should I do?

Mmi read I and I saw where he said they told him to pay bride price for the mother because her bride price was never paid.....as for me, it's the money the poor family wants to collect
