Tasma:
I'm certainly not advocating that people shouldn't pray at all. I'm sure prayer has it's soothing and spiritual role in the lives of many people. What I'm saying is that as far national growth is concerned prayer shouldn't be the first port of call. Maybe we should concentrate on fixing the physical problems like light, water, shelter etc first and worry about spiritual matters later.

Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;

If I were an indigene of that land then I wouldn't move at all. It is not exactly like there are any particular benefits of being a Nigerian and opposed to a Cameroonian. I would simply change passports if necessary and stay in my father's land. After all we are all Africans. People seem to forget that the border lines that differentiate each country from the next are man man and not God made.

Nothing wrong with dating a xtian. Dating a male/female leader at church may be a diifficult task but not a hypocrite, christian. If you toast them the right way, they shall shag you like every other man/woman.

I know many youths who attend churches to meet their sexual partners. (Note I didn't say marriage but sexual partners) If its a woman, and you are able to fool her with her xtianity you will be surprised at the things she'D do. Anyways sha, enough said and do not be fooled by church going men/women who label themselve hypocrites christians.

Tasma:
So how about if i don't pray and just do things that will aid my development? Obviously my praying doesn't stop me from acting in criminal ways so why bother?

ogb5. You ask -
The fact that the leaders of the breakaway area are now talking about becoming a part of Russia and not indepentant states means that this is annexation.

a good article from the guardian newspaper,

Deut 22
5: A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.
22 If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her,
24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

Sorry,their was an erroy while posting earlier. Those who claim prayers to be the answer should stop brushing their teeth and pray for heavenly angels to come down and do it instead. Sound's stupid?

Mad_Max:
This is getting silly. Just respond to the post,okay? I'm not interested in a dispute over whether I should give donations to bus preachers if I felt like it.

Mad_Max:
I sort of assumed someone wouldn't ask for donations if it wasn't needed. And he's not holding a gun to my head, so I'm under no compulsion to accede to his request and give. If I do so, it's willingly, because the preacher's impressed me with his sincerity, and isn't shoving stuff down people's throats. A love for God is very hard to fake. What's your point?

Mad_Max:
Hmmmm,
We are the way we are because I occasionally give money to someone who preaches on a bus.
Interesting.

Mad_Max:
Er, It's my frigging money, isn't it? I'll give it to whomever I please. Oh you'll let me? You're too kind.

Ujujoan:
Dont be silly, do you think I was born this way. Necessity they say . . .  I'm in a very serious r/ship now but am not trusting anybody. I expect the worst from people so I wont get dissapointed in the end. Its a good defense mechanism. But b/4 a guy bleeps me up again . . . No chance of that happening.
