Martinez19: Well I can't say, all I knew then was that when I became a heavy user, it would numb me( I won't be able to derive pleasure for normal daily activities) and then I would be depressed. Also I had this brain fog that dulled my brain. All these reverses each time I quit (even though I was still idle). Also note that I wasn't absolutely idle, I spent that months of ASUU strike around playing ps3, going out and watching porn. I stopped watching porn 4months before I resumed 100lvl on March 3rd, 2014. I swear, this is my experience. I won't have been firm on this if not for my experience. Perhaps there might be something else that causes brain fog and depression, I don't know but that's my experience.
I don't like bullshiting myself and others, I am a realist and I stand nothing to gain by being sincere about my experience. A lot if things could have caused the depression. Did u mastur.bate after watching porn? Did u have a girlfriend? If no, after porn and mast.ubation, u will feel like u are missing out. This affects ur self esteem and make u feel low of urself. |

Martinez19: Yes I was. And u couldn't figure out why u were depressed after watching porn? Guy why u de fall my hand na? It was guilt. As a christian, watching porn is bad and evil. Its also a form of fornication which the bible condemns and calls sin of the flesh. Many Christians who watch porn feel depressed because of the guilt that they are deliberately doing something shameful which is also despised by the creator. |

Martinez19: lol. Why is it that when I quit porn during the ASUU strike and I was still idle, the depression vanish? How do you explain that The depression vanished. Staying at home for seven months and awaiting to resume school after I got admission is not enough for me to get depressed maybe for you and others it's enough but for me it's no and I never did. Where u a Christian then? |

Akin1212: I am her Karma, please go back to her teachings and persuade her to recruit me too. I bet the only way it will end is giving her nice fucckss frequently until we both agree to end the world � 
But to be sincere, the beginning of your problem is that you believe in God in the first place. I dare that woman to try to bring me into God's army. If you believe in God and they told you he is recruiting soldiers, you have no choice than to believe and that's the highest form of stupid.ity
The depression you suffered was self induced. Your mind is still messed up, and if you still keep hanging on to your imaginary friend. Then you're still vulnerable. Pretty chick she is. Met her once here in Lagos when I was still active on literature section.. Dark skin and fleshy but not fat... Wonder why I didn't proceed to bang the chick then.

HardMirror: at the bolded, i cant believe what i just read up there 'idleness and unproductiveness cant lead to depression, but porn can lead to depression? Jesus! Martinez i cant believe i just read that. Are you for real? I rest my case. Read and think over what you just wrote up there first Martinez got it wrong in this one. I go with u on this.. If anyone gets depressed after porn he had an unresolved issue.... Sometimes its guilt. Again people watch porn as a means of escape from some underlying psychological issues. If u are lonly and idle and watch porn u are definitely going to be depressed because the porn wouldn't eventually help u be productive... The realization that u are just wasting ur life on unproductive things can make u very very depressed. |

I watch porn and i have never felt depressed. I go to strip clubs, it makes me happy. So how exactly is it linked to depression? Porn is not the source of his problem, we should stop focussing on porn. He watches porn so what. Did spatacus make people depressed? Were there no sex scenes in Game of Thrones? Please let's hit the nail on the head. Porn has nothing to do with this Lol...isn't porn supposed to be sweet and exciting? Which on is depression after porn again.

frankfrancis871: as far as I know atheism the religion of atheist have failed woefully to prove that spiritual powers and Beings do not exist if they have, I suggest they explain more on juju, 'odenshi' etc. Atheists contradict themselves as humans, they will alway hold on something to believe in hence atheisms. Like I said any term that deals with belief is religion.. Spiritual powers do not exist... If u can show us one pls do sir. Juju and adenshi are just a haux... Non have been proven to exist. If you think Atheism is a religion good for you... Arguing on weather athesim is a religion or not is the most useless argument since Atheism being a religion does not prove God. |
Christianity Etc › Re: From Pastor To Atheist: Why I Will Never Be A Christian Again by frank317: 7:24am On Aug 29, 2018 |
frankfrancis871: well humans do not understand what they believe or doubt in, for me life itself is a religion. Whatever you hold on to or believe in simply becomes your RELIGION! Those self-acclaimed atheist do not know that atheism is fast becoming a religion because many people are believing in it. Therefore any theory that has to do with belief is RELIGION, so for me atheists are really confusing and contradicting themselves. Conclusively "I rather be a godly man than a religious man," thanks.. I fail to get ur point... Atheism being a religion or not does not prove any God exists. Now that u have decided to be a godly man, kindly show us prove of ur God. Simple. |

bummyla: What is so important about morning prayers?
Prayer in the morning is so important because you meet God before you meet the Devil.
You meet God before you meet the circumstances of life.
You talk to God before you talk to many people.
You fellowship with God before you fellowship with other people.
You hear news from Heaven before you receive any breaking news.
You sit before God before you sit before people.
You kneel before God before you kneel down before men.
You Honour God before you Honour people.
You get into His Presence before you get into the presence of people.
You feed your Spirit before you feed your body.
You call Jesus before you call all other small names.
You see Jesus Christ before you see yourself in the mirror.
You sweep your heart before you sweep your yard! https://bummyla.com/2018/08/28/did-you-pray-this-morning-beloved-why-you-should-pray-in-the-morning/ After all these, what will happen will still happen.

HappyPagan: I was minding my business one fine Saturday morning, doing the things fine young bachelors like me self do on weekends - eh, I was looking for a haircut.
As I approached my barber, I saw them in the distance - the dark leather bag, the belts, the colorless dressing. The one in front saw me as I saw them, our eyes hit each others, and I could see his brain steer his body towards my direction, like a lighthouse.. the Jehovah's Witnesses..
"Good day, Brother, how are you?" "I'm fine, and you?", I replied.
"I want to speak to you about Jesus"
"I have heard about him. He's a boring guy."
Stunned face. I saw his eyes dilate, pupils flicker - it was like watching a frog slip.
"Bros, what you don't say?"
"I say what you don't. That story is dull. Have you heard of Fela?"
"Wait, are you atheist?"
"Yes"
"so you believe there is no God?"
"I believe I am God. I'm greater than Jesus"
The Holy Spirit in him threw backflip... Brother, how can you not believe in Jesus?"
"The question is how can you? Wetin concern black man concern Abraham?"
"So what do you believe in?"
"I believe in myself."
"No, bro, you must believe in something. You can't believe in nothing."
"I said I believe in myself. I'm with myself everyday. Everywhere I go, my self goes. All I know is myself. Everyone's a world to himself."
I had entered realms yet uncharted by this believer. This was a journey he was unwilling to continue. A sigh of resignation hit him, as he jumped ship, reminiscent of the prophet Jonah at Nineveh.
As he left, I swear I heard him pray 'baba God, i don try for this one. Make player no go sign agent enter club. this one pass me"
I smiled, congratulated my inner demons, sent victory message to my village people, and walked into the salon for that fineboy haircut.. crazy guy  |

enilove: You are partially right.
1., A Christian can go through hard times by , as you said , ignorance of not doing what he is supposed to do Isn't this where ur God is supposed to come in and help out. Humans are bound to make mistakes. People help the weak when they make mistakes, ur God na siddon look. 2... A Christian can go through hard times and even die in the process because of attacks of evil powers. Another prove that God is either useless or powerless or non existent or simply wicked. The Bible makes us to understand this when it says in : Ephesians 6:12-13 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places . [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. So? THAT IS WHY CHRISTIANS NEED TO PRAY, FAST , READ THE BIBLE REGULARLY, BE HONEST , HOLY , HAVE FAITH IN GOD , WATCH AND PRAY.
With that , no evil can befall a christian. Challenges and temptations would come but he will overcome. No wonder u guys get unhappy when atheist who don't pray, fast, read Bible regularly, not holy, have not faith I God still compete with u guys for the scarce recourses available. Intact if u like fast for 40 days and 40 night, both of us will still have the same change of getting a job in the same firm, infact, all I need is just even know the MD and u will lose the job to me and go him to beat urself that didn't have enough faith or that u prayed amiss lol |

He that dweleth in the secret place of the most high in the light of christianity implies that, anyone who believes in christ has dweleth in the secret place of the most high, the promise to such person is eternal life.
Now, eternal life is something spiritual and not any physical benefits like every good things of life.
Christianity from the bible stand point did not promise every good things for it adherents like pastors are putting it. It only promises eternal life, that's all Hmmmmm.... Let me consult the bible |

That is God just spreads goodies and evil from above and it can touch anyone at random regardless of whether u are good or not |

We assume that because some people are good therefore they do not deserve bad things.
We forget that life happens to everyone equally whether they are bad or good.
The rain and sun falls on everyone at equal intensity whether they are bad or good.
That is God for you. What is God for u? If u guys know that life happens to everyone equally whether they are good or bad, why then do preachers say he that dweleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

vaxx: Some of you called athiest are simply athiest by the state of the mind and not by knowledge.
I am from Muslim background and I feel, I understand this perspective better than the op. The scientist , lawyers and professors stoning in the jammarat are not foolish or gullible as the op thinks . In fact the op seems gullible due to ignorance.
Trying to find a logic or scientific explanation to religion is not always a smart idea. Science is a progressive information. New evidences can prove old theory or rule may not be correct.Still, If you need a reasonable explanation to stoning of Satan, this may help:
Actions influence attitudes....we also have something similar in Atr.
check out cognitive dissonance: changing attitudes to justify behavior
"The theory of cognitive dissonance states that when people become aware that their freely chosen actions violate important or relevant attitudes, the inconsistency produces an uncomfortable state of arousal called dissonance, which motivates people to change their initial attitudes to make them consistent with their behavior. For cognitive dissonance to occur, it is important that the attitude is important and self-relevant." In psychology, actions affect attitudes or beliefs. So stoning satan is an action. Even there maybe no satan there. But you symbolically stone him. At this point your brain work like this: "I stoned satan, I can stone only bad things, So Satan is bad, and after stoning him, how can I do what Satan ask me to do."
At this point your action change your belief and you don't do sin as much as you did before.
So it better we focus on the message the rituals is trying to pass rather than the chracteristics of the ritual. If the message is poor then we should discard it but if it is for the sake of our own benefit, we should embrace it. Nice explanation u got up there.. Unfortunately stoning an invisible Satan has not caused change in attitude in any way. This is same thing we get with being born again in Christiandom. Everyday we have people claiming to have renounced sin and giving their life to Christ in this country... It changes nothing, they still sin, segregate and so we have people like sciencewatch butterfly lion acting out their sinful nature when pushed to the wall despite all the claims. Believing the stoning Satan will change attitude is the problem here. 1. Such action has not been proven to have changed anything in the partakers. 2. It only makes people hypocritic blaming their action on an external for, satan and not actually feel guilty when they act badly. 3. Its quite dangerous to think stoning Satan will stop u from sinning. This is like the act of confessing ur sin to the priest every week. People will only behave badly, wait to stone Satan and behave badly against hence the circle continues. 4. Stoning Satan is just an excuse to feel we are not responsible for our evil behaviors |

rekinomtla: You athiest friend disagrees. Not really. It sounds funny for you just like atheism sounds funny for me. That's your subjective opinion. Knowledge doesn't require certainty. You can know plenty of things without being absolutely certain.
And why would we have to be absolutely certain? Sounds like you just stating your opinion. Sounds to me like this whole Jesus and God thingy is a matter of opinion to u. Its not about the truth or fact. Isn't this what this what we have been saying all these while. Now I wonder what we are arguing for or about  So what would make you absolutely certain that Jesus is who he claimed to be? I think God should have thought of this before making the mistake of allowing an important event like the dying of his son a matter of opinion, probability and uncertainty. I must say I am disappointed in this so call all knowing every every. |

rekinomtla: Everything in history is established through probability. Any historical textbook would tell you that. History deals with probability not certainty. You can't just make up your own rules for what qualifies as history, I know mythicists love doing thats not how it works. If you only believe things on absolute certainty then its time you drop 99% of your beliefs about science, history and philosophy.
However since you insisting certainty is required how about you give me a few examples of ancient historical figures you are absolutely certain exists. Of course it is agreed that every history is established through probability and not certainty... Its just sounds funny that even the "fact" that the creator sent his son to die for mankind and this is the only way all creations can be saved from eternal damnation is also established through probability and not certainty. We are jumping from a historical even to an act of an all knowing creator... Yet we are are not jumping from uncertainty to certainty. I mean if I decide not to believe Hitler ever lived since this history is established through probability and uncertainty, life goes on and its cool. But if I refuse to accept Jesus died for mankind despite it also being established through probability and uncertainty I will be condemned forever by the creator... Me think its either the creator missed out something in this process or its all pure hogwash. |
