Elebiju: The Catholic church is the prime suspect If you discovered that Christmas had nothing to do with Jesus Christ's birth and actually predates that event by centuries, would you still celebrate the holiday? And if you realized that the Bible reveals Holy Days commanded by God, would you celebrate them instead?When I was a young boy, I looked forward to Christmas every Dec. 25. Shortly before one particular Christmas, while still in secondary school, one of my schoolmates laughed me to scorn for believing that Father Xmas (Santa Claus) existed. I was mortified.When I returned home that evening, I asked my mom whether Father Xmas was real.She said he wasn't. Privately I thought,"Well, if father xmas isn't real, what is?"Years later I learned that Christmas actually predated Christianity by about 2,000 years. Many ancient nations created their own midwinter festivals and celebrations—which later morphed into Christmas—to honor the sun and other gods around the time of the winter solstice. I also learned that the origins of Christmas contradict true Christianity. Christmas contradicts the biblical facts it's commonly assumed that Christmas is celebrated because it's the birthday of Jesus Christ. But biblical scholars overwhelmingly admit that Jesus was born nowhere near Dec. 25. There are sound reasons for this conclusion. Luke's Gospel tells us that Joseph and Mary were traveling to Bethlehem to register during a Roman census when Jesus was born, and also that shepherds still had their flocks out in the open fields at that time (Luke 2:1-. Even fulani herdsmen no fit endure harmattan but the Holy Land in December is cold, rainy and sometimes snowy. No sound-minded shepherd would have been so foolhardy as to leave his flock in the fields at night at that time of year. And no intelligent ruler would compel people to travel many miles to register for a census when the likelihood of bad weather would have made such an effort self-defeating. Why should we believe that Jesus was born on Dec. 25 when the Bible itself plainly contradicts this notion?The birth of Christmas so if Christmas didn't originate with Christ's birth being on Dec. 25, when and how did it originate?Christmas began long before the birth of Jesus Christ. Alexander Hislop's book the Two Babylonsexplores many historical sources showing that the holiday precedes Christ by at least 2,000 years, as earlier mentioned (1957, pp. 97-98).A nativity celebration for pagan gods was observed near the winter solstice inboth Syria and Egypt. Later, some 400 years before Christ, the Mithraic religion, centering on the Persian sun god Mithras, provided the foundation for the Christmas celebration. Mithraism became very popular in the Roman Empire, and many elements of its worship survive today in Roman Catholicism. My stand;I dont celebrate Xmas but i eat the delicacies.

Blah! Blah!! Blah!!!
First is very relivant and okay
Second is not relivant since the clothes used then and now differ and has to duel more on culture
Third holds since it not talking about entertainment but bar chat and laughter,talking about women you slept with e.t.c
Fourth holds since it talks about simplicity
Fifth holds.Do you have to gossip?Celebrity gossip is just quoting out of box.
Sixth: Do you have to be promiscuous?How would u feel if your spouse is cheating or don't u know the breaking of this law by the whites has lead to killing of millions by STD's
7th is an old Jewish law.
8th why not cross breed with a monkey,animals also have feelings
9th Another old Jewish law
Ten:Tattoos look absurd.Can't imagine me having permanent mark.
11th is a good law but not practicable anymore since we now live in a world of immense struggle;every second counts.
Twelve I really don't like pigs but I think its mainly for your health and because of their dirty and distructive attitude.

**last gun** I think those saying women shouldn't talk are domineering,self centered and doesn't follow God's words as he created women to assist.Also women are so emotional and fragile that you can't just fix those laws although I don't support female pope,Jesus said:Go into the world and preach and I think that should include women.
Also if God stereotypes women,someone like Deborah wouldn't have existed **
PLS IF THIS HAS SOLVED THE PUZZLE,CLICK ON LIKE.

UjSizzle: Oh screw Marvel! What the hell is "strong female character"? Like women weren't strong before?
There's a reason the Buffy character will always be an all time favorite for me.

Let them just leave our male Thor. I kinda like Chris Hemsworth playing that character, and he is sexy as sin

One of the many reasons I didn't finish watching Xena,why on earth should a lady be able to beat a man who is able to send her to intensive care unit with just one furious blow?
All this so called feminists that make their emotions override sense of judgement
'My feelings about men are the result of my experience. I have little sympathy for them. Like a Jew just released from Dachau, I watch the handsome young Nazi soldier fall writhing to the ground with a bullet in his stomach and I look briefly and walk on. I don't even need to shrug. I simply don't care. What he was, as a person, I mean, what his shames and yearnings were, simply don't matter."
Marilyn French; The Woman's Room.
"All patriarchists exalt the home and family as sacred, demanding it remain inviolate from prying eyes. Men want privacy for their violations of women... All women learn in childhood that women as a sex are men's prey."

Ladies who can't even match a 18year old guy,would be beating a man who with just a blow will send her to coma.

shaybebaby: Whatever it is that I'd been doing that made me the higher earner. It's called playing to your strengths and doing what works best for your family at any given time. Everything that benefits ones family as unit must be explored without the rigidity of gender assigned roles.

Can I say you are only seeking for attention on this thread cos I know ur husband is most certainly not a house husband?
Socrates said:Naturally men take pride in commanding while women take pride in obeying(Not slave type).
I THINK THE SOCRATES QUOTE IS ENOUGH EXPLANATION TO WHY MOST IF NOT ALL INCLUDING YOU DON'T BUY THE IDEA.LET THE CHILDREN GO TO CHILD CARE AND U THE WORLD's RICHEST WOMAN SHOULD USE YOUR POSITION TO GET HIM A BEFITTING JOB. SHIKENA!!!

Oxone: I hate how people Bring up religion and bible verses to support their stance in an argument and discard it when it doesn't serve their purpose. ok then, Lets look at some bible verses together

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel (I Timothy 5:8 )

For those quoting the the above verse to support your stand, here are some verses from the same bible that you should think about.

"Let the women keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject themselves, just as the Law also says. And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church." (1 Cor. 14:34-35)


1 Timothy 2:12 : I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

The guys here ranting on how the bible forbids the topic above and yet have women in senior positions at work can now resign as the same bible forbids it and for the women saying same, you can also resign if you have a man under you as it is not permitted. From the above verses I guess we can now all agree that the women should be seen and not heard (Goodbye Feminism).

I wonder why some people are incapable of rational thought

Here are a few questions I'd like answered

Shouldn't your family's best interest be paramount in whatever you do regardless of what society thinks in terms of right and wrong?

Don't you think your ego is but a small price to pay for the overall well being of your family?

[center]Any man/woman who doesn't put his/her family first has no business being married in the first place [/center]

Okay!!!!We all know that is not an African culture for women not to have voice,i've even heard in history about women leaders staging a protest to topple a bad government.Women had to fight in Saudi Arabia to have right to drive cars but a South western woman was the first to Every ride a car in Nigeria.
If feminism is allowed to Nigeria,it will wipe a lot of sweet women and replace them with shemales adding insult to injury.
So stop justifying feminism as it wasn't feminism that provided right to Afican women expectially Western Nigeria that has made women bitter,loose value,support gay,anti-family,anti-male,abortion(over 50million abortions in America alone) bla bla bla.
Men are usually born with ego and it's very hard to curtail it unlike in women.
On the issue of minding business,I don't have to,I need to speak on the irregularly in someone's behavior so that it doesn't spread to others.'If ur neighbour is eating a poisonous insect,call his attention,if not,his wailing won't let you sleep at night'.
You can go ahead but let me tell you that as pride is to men so is rebellion to women.

Yeye man,in some cases some wives beat up dummies like that.
From my observation,most women hate men who are much poorer not to talk of HOUSE HUSBAND!!!

freedom without discipline is the greatest bondage of all #noHomosexuals

bore the full brunt of the civil war for thirty months, is particularly tragic. Most of it has remained a wasteland, despite General Gowon’s declaration of the three “R”, Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/44years-igbo-demand-n2-6tn-reparation-civil-war/

The federal government should pay N400 billion each to the five states of the South East as compensation to those who lost loved ones and properties and those still suffering dislocation today in Nigeria. The same amount should also be paid to the government of Delta State for the benefit of Anioma area of the state.”
The motion was sponsored by former Minister of Foreign Affairs and a delegate on the platform of Elder Statesmen, Gen. Ike Nwachukwu, and 14 others. The Igbo stressed that the demand became imperative following the “atrocities and injustices committed against Ndigbo in Nigeria over a long period.
They argued: “All fair minded citizens of this country are wont to agree that the former Eastern Region and part of former Mid West Region, which encompass the present day South- East and South- South zones of Nigeria were theatres of the civil war which devastated the two regions and brought untold hardships to their citizens

FORTY- Four years after, the Civil War , Igbo delegates asked for N2. 6 trillion as reparation and compensation for the devastation Igbo land experienced during the 1967 to 1970 war.
In an amendment to the proposed National Intervention Fund, the South East delegates said the former Eastern region and part of the former Mid-West region which are now in South-East and South-South zones were centres of war, with high level of devastation that brought untold hardship to their citizens.
In a document titled: “Atrocities and Injustices against Ndigbo: Ohaneze demand for Reparation” which was circulated with the amendment to the proposed National Intervention Fund, the delegates said it was incalculable to put a price on the death of millions of Igbo who were killed in the civil war and other occasions.
They said: “The case of the South-East, which bore the full brunt of the civil war for 30 months, is particularly tragic. Most of it remained a wasteland, despite General (Yakubu) Gowon’s declaration of the three ‘Rs’, Reconstruction, Rahabilitation and Reconciliation

I love this but you must agree that you treated this on surface level cos no team can replace a player like Onazi with Reuben and expect the same result.
Saying an African team lost energy and didn't play with their strength is criminal.When you play with Reuben and Mikel,its not that you become stronger but stronger relative to weaker opposition.Like Randy Orton figting with John Cena and Triple H comes to change his opposition to someone like Bolieve,Ceteris Paribos,he does not become stronger but stronger relative to opposition.We didn't loose because of the opposition tactics,we lost because of replacing Onazi with a weak man which left us with no direction and hope.
Moral lesson:'You don't use something with extremely different quality to achieve same result'

Seun: Ok, what should we discuss?

The existence of magic is the best proof of God's existence,can big bang also prove the beginning of magic.Pascal said:believe and forfeit little enjoyment,don't and end you moribund and miserable life in Hell.The worst gambler won't choose later.
SEUN WATCH LEST YOU FALL COS YOU MIGHT NEVER RISE AGAIN.

This should have been NIGERIA playing

Seun: Please accept my personal apology to you. I actually feel the same way. I also started being more active on the forum recently, and I feel as if it's all gone. But really, it's not all gone. The things we learned from the forum and our memories of the wonderful discussions we had here are still intact. No hacker can steal them from our minds. We may not have detailed records anymore, but no hacker can steal our experiences.

THAT IS AN INTELLIGENT ANSWER

A study was conducted in USA ,and it showed ladies,expectially teenagers tend to cling to men and also feel used after sex up to the point where a man decided not to sleep with them.Study also showed that women still have high risk of contacting STD's Even with condom.The shape of a man's thing appears on many and also become loose women's after having it for a while while a man can clean up and still appear as virgin.A woman has risk of unwanted pregnancy abortion that might ruin her life.Man makes the action,women reaction,men love loose women.
The only solution is to preserve your body from men with raging testosterone who turn it to delicious meal,if women continue to preserve their body,men will follow the trend.Even some feminists tried to ban porn cos it objectifies women and increase molestation,you become empty and your friends who are regreting will lure you and when men are studying with joy,you feel pains down below.LADIES STEER CLEAR OF WE MEN,COS WE LOVE LOOSE WOMEN.
DON'T LET FEMINIST TURN YOU TO PROPAGANDA COS WOMEN WHO HAVE LOST THEIRS WILL TELL U ITS NOTHING WORTH LOOSING PRECIOUS VIRGINITY OVER.

[quote author=Ms_Steph]Looks like she has bin crying all day. Any woman involved in such must have a stone for a heart[/quote]Tell me something I don't know.Women are really dangerous,once they breakdown and start crying,only God will know if its CROCODILE tears.

Trust WOMEN at your own PERIL.

Slave mentality!!!

3Dimension: Submission and love...

Which should come first?

Love:
And which should come last?

Still LOVE.

Embedded in Love is submission, peace, joy etc.

A woman can be submissive but will neva love the man.

Mind you if a typical naija man says the wife is not "submissive" he actually wants a puppet to control left, right and center.

I have no Idea of what u are talking about,who wants a dummy as wife?

evegran: Exactly! I totally agree.

You are wrong,if you look at things today,men marry women with good qualifications,not those that beg to feed.Submission is a natural disposition usually matched by love.

ednut1: the foundation of marriage is submission. but since there is gennder equality bullcrap. there shud nt be marriage but co habitation hahaha

.

Sijo01: LOVE!......... A woman can submit the whole of her and forget about herself is she's loved.

.You are right but not all women expectially not those slots and shemales in Western world that say they are strong women as if the word woman signifies weekness and divorce like dogs.ALL MADE EQUAL A WOMAN NEEDS LOVE AND A MAN NEEDS HIS PRIDE INTACT.We are all equal but to man God gave autority which you must back by love.I FOUND OUT THAT EQUALITY OBSESSION IS MOSTLY A WESTERN THING BECAUSE OF HOW THEY WERE TREATED IN THE PAST,THAT IS WHY THEIR MARRIAGE DON'T LAST.LIKE ARISTOLE SAID THE ONLY THING A WOMAN NEEDS IS LOVE

Nairaland is putting any topic on front page just to gather comments and views to make money.As they continue to sacrifice quality in place of money,I pray it won't backfire.

jude33084: We need Mikel for the Markings

For first goal he takes the blame of not marking Messi another number 10,the second goal was the aftermath of Mikel's inability to clear the ball that lead to Messi's first freekick in 43rd minute before he got another From KING OMERUO.He stood at a very stupid position that even a mad man can't say why he stood there marking no one.So which kain marking,accept that Mikel is useless.

We will win if Oboabona,Moses play and if rickety Mikel is replaced by Azeez.
