mazaje: What do you need rivers of honey, rivers of wine and lots of women for?

There are many people that get all these things here on earth. . .

azpekuliar: I hail ooo fellow Deltan NLers.
How often do Isokos stop by?

Evil Brain: Personally, I don't care if they accept blood or not.

When I become president, I'm going to force everyone who publicly opposes blood donation to have "no blood" tattooed to their chest so that everyone will know not to give them blood and shorten everybody else's ration. The anti-blood people get to go to heaven early, and the rest of us get to stay here on earth a bit longer. Everybody wins!

mazaje: Rivers of wine, rivers of honey, streets of gold, diamonds. . . .beautiful women creatures, beautiful garment, etc. . .

Kay 17: Most of us are out of touch with the African metaphysical, foreign religions like islam have bastardized and demonized it and our identity along with. We have misconceptions that all that's left of it is JAZZ, which is not true. Africans had once had a colourful unique view of the world.

There is the basic Simlarity Between all Afro-asiatic Languages, For a starter you will Find words for sky,Water,Write are similar, Afro-asiatic Languages are grouped Under one Umbrella Because Historians Believe The languages within the afroasiatic Languages either evolved Together at close proximity,Borrowed, People Mixed together. Other Think the ancestory of all these languages is one ancient extinct Language which started to break into Branches 15,000 Years ago. There is similarities Between Hausa and ancient Egyptians as a language, Hausa has also Many Similarities Between Hausa and some Kushtic Languages especially Ta bedawi which is Beja a language.

Hieroglyph is not semitic But share alot of words with semitic Because its part of the afro asiatic language Group, and Share alot of words with kushtic Language Because its also Afro asiatic language, and its the closest Language to Beja,

tbaba1234: I think you are asking the wrong questions.... The first question you ask yourself whether you believe in a God? If you don't, then there is no need for these questions... you need to answer that fundamental question.

If you do, then the question is:

a.What does this creator expect of me?
b.How do i now what he expects of me?
c.Are there rational explanations to all of this?
d. Does this creator play a part in my life?, if yes, what are the signs of this?

Most importantly, If the signs of a creator and all rational evidences are presented before me, Do i have the courage to take this path?

If you do, fine::

If you don't, i guess you have to start from question 1 again...

satanism isnt abt wealth bt abt elevation of the human soul to become a god head

harakiri: Do i need to know you?

Sweetnecta: @Emofine; DO you think that an educated person can not be ignorant in something, considering the fact that knowledge is continuum and knowledge about us and our environment may just be at the infant stage?
Is it not possible that there is a Creator of what we see, in addition to what we do not see or know? Or did all of these happened without a causer, and we see such an order in all that we know, a repetition?

If the causer is One can we all agree to say its a Higher Existence, a Being, our God? Or are there many true causers in this so wonderfully ordered existence that we are part of; human specie being just a small portion of the all? If there are more than one causer, the probability is that the interest of one may be sometimes different from the other[s], at a particular time. What such condition of different agenda may have on us and our environment will definitely be chaos. Is this not possible? Imagine 2 persons having independent control over a thing, both at the same time that each could do as he/she wishes to effect the dynamics and how it all ends. Do we think that one of these 2 overlords will not want to render the intention of the other useless?

Such is the idea of God with multiple entity in the God head. No one of them can be truly in control; each with different agenda will rid the others or render them useless.

Such in a sense is the mini God to True Single God Who is capable of acting alone, over the mini God and all that think highly of the mini God.

Should we serve God that needs to be fed, clothed, protected from the elements? None of them is Truly The God worthy of worship, especially when we make it with our hands, tools, factories.

God Almighty is One; Unique in every respect and Independent of us

while all depend on Him

Now that is the God I am inviting you to.

cowgurl: Why is it that the Bible can be found everywhere, anytime you want it and the Qur'an, you hardly find it?

I became more and more intrigued and it is not surprising that, when I went to study in England. I nearly took "Comparative Religion" as one of my subjects; but then I decided that I would enjoy it more, if I just read into it and visited all sorts of places ... I remember going to this small Buddhist meeting; I visited the so-called fundamentalist religions, the spiritualist churches .

harakiri: THAT RIGHT THERE is one of the reasons why I've always referred to religion (Christianity in this case) as a CULT! ! !

So because the poster isn't religious, you expect her to be treated harshly abi? See the nonsense i keep talking about? Is that the way your biblical Jesus treated the "unbelievers"?

Hypocrites!
Self delusionists! !
Un-curable religious zombies! ! !

Ptolomeus: It is necessary to get married in church?

mkmyers45: Have you ever heard atheist countries fighting each other? Most worldwide inventions are hand-works of atheist/deist who have refused to allow thier mind be logged by religious jiggery-pokery

sauer: This is one most significant question most Africans refused and still refuse to ponder on. If only they had hearts or heads. . . .
And somewhat, our refusal to engage this question will continue to affect our worth before so-called "advanced nations". A nation which underestimates its own god or gods is bound to count least among other nations. Why? Cos the god represents all that this nation holds sacred and true, all that is meaningful, all that counts and will count. As soon as such nation falters in its belief in its god, cracks will surely appear and a long descent into insignificance begins. Perhaps this was what brought Africa its first series of marginalization.
Just see how the crusaders defended the holy city against muslim invaders. Is that happening in Jerusalem, in the Middle East, not now a battle of "gods", a battle for "god" significance?
High time Africans woke up to the reality that elevating one's native gods is elevating oneself. I bet, as long as we continue to exhort these inherited jewish and arabian gods, we can never count among the nation of peoples.
Word!

Ptolomeus: Dear friend Emofine:
First of all, my expression of affection for you.
I have my doubts that African religion is really polytheistic.
I can be wrong, but I think Oloorùn is the only god and creator. The Orisa are emanations of the one God and creator, whose misiçon just is to maintain the universal balancing between.
So I understand it.
When we speak of God (Evangelical, Islamic, Catholic, traditional, etc) I always think we are talking about the same.
I understand that the difference is in how each of us that God appoints, and the way they cultuamos each of us.
Absolute truth does not exist, and the biggest mistake we can make is to fanatizarnos.

I send a fraternal and sincere hug.
