Christianity EtcRe: Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by ektbear: 10:24am On Jul 29, 2012
How much money has the Sultan of Sokoto given to Christians?
Christianity EtcRe: Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by ektbear: 10:23am On Jul 29, 2012
How many Christians are there studying at King Fahd University in Saudi Arabia?

Or are there many Christians being admitted into universities supported by Islamic organizations?

Why are the obligations only one sided?

Why are Christians obliged to be kind and giving to Muslims with absolutely no conditions, but Muslims allowed to kill Christians at will with no consequences?

How many Islamic clerics are supporting Christians financially in Nigeria?
Christianity EtcRe: Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by ektbear: 10:21am On Jul 29, 2012
So if a Christian university doesn't give admission to a Muslim student, or a Christian man doesn't give unconditional help to a Muslim woman, then this is clearly just as bad as Muslims beheading Christians in Northern Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc, etc.


What is up with all these muthafucking false equivalencies you guys make huh huh

Dipwater: Niggar wat!!!! The bastard denied a qualified student admission for stewpid reasons.wats the difference between this idiota and boko haram .religion should not be the ground for denying anybody anything .qualification should be what would determine
Did Oyedepo strap a bomb to his chest?

Don't be a fvcking id1iot, dude.

How many people did Oyedepo kill or gun down in the North? Did he turn Maiduguri into a wasteland?

STFU, dumbazz.

oyb: so you would cut off all ties with your family over religion?
No, I would not...I'm actually not that religious myself.

But there was a time when I was. And I can certainly understand if someone did make that choice. In fact, if you really believe the Bible, one probably should do so..

14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belialb? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
http://niv.scripturetext.com/2_corinthians/6.htm


So given that the Bible commands that Oyedepo should not be "yoked with unbelievers", then is he still obliged to support his unbelieving sister, with absolutely no conditions attached?
Christianity EtcRe: Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by ektbear: 10:14am On Jul 29, 2012
He is not denying her care. He is attaching conditions to the care!

So you are not a man of God any more if you attach conditions to the care someone asks for huh
Christianity EtcRe: Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by ektbear: 10:12am On Jul 29, 2012
krap: Though he seems like a man that can tolerate others, it is surprising that the man cannot hide his disdain for the Islamic religion which was evident when little Abdul-Gafar Ayomide Salami, a young Nigerian student seeking admission to Oyedepo church owned Covenant University was denied admission despite having all required qualifications, just because he is a Muslim.
So a CHRISTIAN-owned CHURCH is evil if it doesn't give admission to a MUSLIM student?

Where does it say in the Bible that Christians must hold Islam or any other religion in high regard huh huh huh

If you are a Christian and you are respectful of other religions, good for you.

But if you are a Christian and you are disrespectful of other religions, that is also fine. It certainly doesn't contradict any teachings of the Bible..
Christianity EtcRe: Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by ektbear: 10:05am On Jul 29, 2012
This woman should cry out to her god. If her god is not strong enough to save her from penury, then perhaps she had better listen very well to her brother's advice, and consider choosing the God of her brother.

Or of what use is this god she serves if she remains in poverty?

Or does she want to benefit from Oyedepo's God while also serving another?
Christianity EtcRe: Bishop Oyedepo To Muslim Sister : “Convert To Christianity Or Die Poor,” by ektbear: 10:02am On Jul 29, 2012
Well, he is a pastor. If

a) he believes his Bible literally and thinks that non-Christians will face eternal hellfire
b) his sister is a Muslim

should he:
c) be shouting and dancing in the streets about his sister
d) or doing everything in his power to make her change?


Look, if you do not share the man's beliefs, no wahala.

But no one can condemn him for them. He is not violating any laws. He is not killing or harming anyone. He certainly isn't obliged to maintain contact with her or financially support her.

If you believe in hellfire for non-believers, then you will agree with Oyedepo's actions.

You click the link, read the code, understand it, download it, run it, then translate it into Java or C++ (possibly doing some googling to figure out stuff in Java or C++ that you don't know).

Or, you can use lordZOUGA's code, fixing and modifying it as necessary to suit your purposes.

On a serious note though, syntax isn't that important I guess. But i feel like people only recommend scheme and lisp because it is what the "cool kids" used in their first college programming class. Not because they actually enjoy the language themselves cheesy
ProgrammingRe: Become A Better Programmer by ektbear: 6:09am On Jul 28, 2012
All these scheme/lisp people sef grin

If that language had been my first introduction to programming as a kid, I doubt I'd have shown any interest.

Absolutely hideous syntax

Seems to be an issue everywhere. Employers ask for way more qualifications than a job demands. I guess that is just the nature of things in the world right now...everyone is going to school, so employers can afford to be picky.

Co-sign on reading other's peoples code. Between Github and googling, it is easier than it was in the past to learn best practices for coding.
