Why is the Catholic Church so hypocritical.
My reasons;
.
Self imposed celibacy. Why? Is it really necessary because you can't really cheat nature no matter how hard you try.
.
Idol Adulation. Bowing down to statues even when your bible said otherwise.
.
Confession. A continuous confession program that enables the Catholics to do whatever they want, no holds barred, so far as their sins will be absolved the following week by a Priest.

Niflheim: The agenda is greed power and control,so that is why i laugh when nigerians say that Kanye West and Lady Gaga are members.To understand 'ILLUMINATI',you need to understand only one thing in life.......................................'CHESS'!!!Kanye and Lady Gaga are like the rock groups of the 60s,the beatles,the doors,the rolling stones............................THEY ARE PAWNS!!!

Niflheim: Remember what I said about one cult infiltrating another?..................the British came to nigeria and heard about native ogboni,who meet in the bush,speak yoruba and wear white bedsheet,so they decided to form a new ogboni,whereby they can understand the language and control the members!!!So they got reverend ogunbiyi to form the 'reformed ogboni confraternity',because the anglican church is a freemason lodge masquerading as a church and the british kings and queens are grand masters and grand patrons.the 1st president of R.O.F. was eventually adetokunbo ademola,who studied in oxford,and oxford university has a masonic lodge for students and professors called 'the Apollo University Lodge'.The one at cambridge is called the 'Isaac Newton Lodge'.

Niflheim: They were later revived in 1904,some 137 years later(if you knew what 137 means in quantum physics),and started giving birth to 'orbitally arranged invisible bastard groups',like the vril society in germany and thule gesellschaft(adolf hitler was a member)............................stars in america would join other lower cults and nigerians would shout 'ILLUMINATI!!!'.........................Prodigy,the rapper from mobb deep went to join 'the nuwabians',a black man cult in new york and foolish nigerians shouted 'ILLUMINATI'.....................................wyclef,nas,busta rhymes,pras and lauren hill,and all members of the Wu Tang Clan, joined another black man cult called the '5 percenters' and nigerians erroneously shouted 'ILLUMINATI!!!'

Niflheim: @frostyzone,remember that illiteracy is the number one problem of the average nigerian,............................my father was a rosicrucian and he had some funny books in the house and so while reading one book i jumped to another,ILLUMINATI is something that i have been reading about since 2003,but nigerians prefer amateur youtube videos for their facts.it is not new age because it was founded in 1776,they were suppressed by the bavarian government who took most of them out,not knowing that many were hiding under the umbrella of the freemasons and the rosicrucians!!!

So In summation, you were saying that those Illuminati theories are real and actually happening?

Every Nigerian Website I paid a visit to, there is always a high probability that I will encounter the "I" word.

Some bloggers dedicate unreasonable amount of space in their blog, spewing out stories and theories about a certain new age secret cult called Illuminati.

According to some, their aim is to control and dominate the world.

While some believe that by getting initiated, members will automatically became rich and famous. They even went as far as listing out many popular names in Nigerian entertainment industry and Diaspora.

So the ongoing trend is thus;Whenever a musician or actor has a career breakthrough, and became suddenly famous, then he or she must have joined Illuminati.

The beauty of their respective singles or acting, that in a rational point of view may have given them that extra push in the right direction, doesn't come into play anymore.

Before, the Nigerian Population have always been divided in terms of popular beliefs, urban myths, etc. There were the rationales(those that doesn't believe outrageous stories/theories without proof) and the Erratic(those that believe in alien abduction and such theories)

Sadly, it's not so any longer. At the moment, almost everyone is presently a conspiracy theorist, foretelling the end of the world.

Rationalism seems to to have taken the back seat compared to the current fore-runner;illuminati saga.

I did some research and discovered a sad truth; Illuminati theories are fueled by religion.

Almost every religious persons believe in the Illuminati stories compared to atheist non believers.

My question is simple; Where do you stand? Does your faith or lack of faith play a huge part in your decision making?

I have dreamt of getting overpowered by a female body builder...a really weird dream.

ijawkid: What about asians??.....

How won't this gibberish make more sense to you........

""KENYApethecus"".....lol...

It should have been ""NIGERIApethecus""....

Rubbish......

It was discovered in Kenya, hence the name.
One was also discovered in Mongolia in Asia.
These are all facts, Bro.
Accept or ignore it...your choice.

Todaynatoday: Do you think that we came by chance and evolved to what we are today or were we created for a purpose?

We are here by chance. Here are my reasons; Out of all the 8 planets of the solar system, earth is the only one that is not too hot and too cold. The perfect conditions for the evolution of life. All the other planets are either too cold or too hot and too rocky or gaseous to support life, else Earth wouldn't have been the only planet revolving around the sun with intelligent life forms living in it.
Now, you would say that's because God deemed it so.
Really?
Have you ever considered the possibility that maybe, somewhere in these vast universe very far away from earth, there may be other intelligent life forms living in various earth replica planets. And those life forms may not even be of humanoid variation at that.
According to your scriptures, God created man in his own image, right?
What about those other possible alien beings that may or may not exist. Are they also of God own image?
My point is simple; The universe is vast with many possibilities. You can't simply qualify it by giving it religious connotations.
Frankly speaking, it's more complicated than that.

Todaynatoday: why are you sticking with it for now? Why not forever? That means you don't fully believe in the evolution theory (you know, it's called theory for a reason)

Nothing is perfect. Some more imperfect than others. Science has it's setbacks but in the thick of things for now, it's shining the brighter light than religion. We owe our maturity and modernity of today to science. Or else we would still be thinking that earth was the center of the universe.
As an atheist, I question everything and believe in what I can see or prove. So if there is no possibility that sometime extra-ordinary might happen to me tomorrow that proves otherwise, I would be happy to stick to my way of life for the time being.

Todaynatoday: so which view do you hold?

Logically, the atheistic view made more sense. So I'm sticking with it...for now.

ijawkid: Sorry...

I didn't evolve from apes...its an insult to humankind......

This is the reason why the same white people who invented this theory calls us (africans) apes....

Can't you see that??......

That's typical denial 101 my friend. 2 known discoveries were made sometimes ago regarding our ancestors. Neanderthal and Kenyapethecus fossils were both discovered in Europe and Africa respectively. Neanderthal was an early man that eventually evolved to what we call "white men" today.
Kenyapethecus was your direct forefather whether you want to accept it or not.
So that's the scientific explanation on how we came to have black and white race in 2 distinct different continents.
Besides, it made more sense to me than the creation story that has no proof.

Todaynatoday: hahahahahahaha
In the next two thousand years man would become homo apo (we'll revert back to ape form) and then we'll evolve back to homo sapien and in another two thousand years homo apo and the cycle continues.
Lets get serious
Do you really think life has no purpose?

It depends on how you want to live life. Some question everything, while some go through life in a senile state.
So I would probably say life is what we make of it. In an atheistic view of life, life is meaningless to an extent and vice versa. Your purpose is to live your life to the fullest and then die. After that you will cease to exist. Life thus will continue without you. That's the meaningless aspect of it.
The meaningful part is that you will get to leave your mark to the world like legacies or such.
In a religious view, life is everything and continues even after death.
So like I said before, life is what you make of it.

Todaynatoday: Scientifically proven?
Where and when did it happen?
Where did the apes come from? (abi dem self evolve from fish)
Which animal did all the other species of animals evolve from? (aves? Fishes? Insects? Reptiles? Amphibians? Etc etc etc)
If we evolved from apes, WHY THEN HAVE WE STOPPED EVOLVING?!!! (at least we should have super powers by now.........erm...........like superman abi now?)

According to science, all life started from the sea. And no, we haven't stopped evolving. If the earth is still around in another thousand years, homo sapiens will become homo something-else.
Another discovery that further discredited the creation story was the dinosaurs fossils that were discovered by archeologist.
Now according to the bible, God never created those, yet according to museums they were here once upon a time. Logically which one are you compelled to believe?
And again, Since Adam and Eve were supposedly the first man and woman, wouldn't it make more sense if we, their decendants look all alike. Like for example have the same skin colour, hair, eyes, etc.
Science has a better explanation for that; evolution.

ijawkid: Is it that we evolved from apes or that we share common ancestors??....

Both.

tpia1: yes, you do seem confused.

No need to be unnecessary offensive. I asked a question, and if you couldn't answer that just like everyone else, then why bother to post at all?

ogoamaka99: @ frostyzone,
Before i answer your questions, i want you to answer this question, WHERE DO YOU CAME FROM? That is how do you arrive to this world?

From the womb of my mother. It has been scientifically proven that man evolved from apes. so Accepting that we are created by an entity is kind of a long leap.

Interesting answers guys. But I'm still in the dark, lol.

Anambra Igbo and Lagos Yoruba are both easy to learn.

As I was raised in Igbo and Yoruba, naturally I find both easy to converse with. Writing in them is another matter, though.
Hausa language on the other hand I have no experience with whatsoever. And not planning to either, because those that speak it fluently seem to have issues with English language vowels and consonants afterwards.

[quote author=true?]The questions you ask here are complete studies within their own scope. I have answered them in one sentence, which gives no proof, or explanation too them.

1) You need to ask him.
2) His plan is for humans to serve him...at this point we need his help.
3) He told them not to do that one thing...they knew not to.
4) He did not come from anywhere. He always was.
5) It has been recorded in our time, some women do get pregnant without having sex.
6) No.
7) Religion were created by Satan, not God.
Ismale. But, he sold his birth right for a boal of soup.
9) Bowing is their position of prayer. Women are in the back, so men will not look up their butts.
10)The believe Jesus is just a prophe. In Islam, Jesus is to return, rais Mohammed from the dead, bow to him, and all people will become Muslims. All but me. I
will always be Christain.

I do not like this program...It put in a funny face on 8, which I did not.[/quote]In all your answers, only number 10 made sense to me.
You said that I should ask him why it took him 6 days to create the earth. But how can I do so when I don't even know where he's from or if he even exist...which brings me to question number 4.
Your answer was that he always existed. Well, that didn't help me at all. It was like answering a question with a question. You need to tell me why and how you came to that conclusion.
At number 6 I asked if God created sin, you said no. Well according to the bible God created lucifer who in turn created sin. So by my logic God created sin by proxy.
Your number 5 attempt seems reasonable only if artificial insemination was possible during the B.Cs. But it wasn't, was it? Nope.
You mixed the mark entirely at number 8 attempt. You were talking about Esau and Jacob, while I asked about Isaac and Ismael.
I can't make out what you meant at number 10. Maybe you should try to clarify your self next time.
All the same, cheers for trying at all.

Not meant to be insulting or anything, just asking.

1. Why did God create the world in 6 days? Why not just instantly do it all in one day if he was all powerful?
2. If God has a plan for us then why pray at all?
3. Why did God punish Adam and Eve for doing wrong if they did not know the difference between right and wrong?
4. Where did God come from?
5. How does a virgin get pregnant?
6. Did God create sin?
7. Why are there so many religion with each one claiming to be the only true one?
8. Between Isaac and Ismael, which one was the legitimate son of Abraham?
9. Why are there no chairs in mosques?
10. What status does Jesus hold in Islam. And what status does Mohammed hold in Christianity?
.
.
You don't need to answer all, just attempt one that you know.

engrtee: What is dis habit of accusing the devil for crimes we often commit.

The other day, a man who impregnated The daughter said IT WAS THE DEVIL FAULT.

even pastors do this.

Why?

Mainly because the devil isn't around to defend itself. Just like Islamic Allah is always absent any time people killed in his name.

thelastPope: Interestingly, this was the exact logic that propelled Bush to do what he did but you guys keep insulting him. Its seems you guys cant make up your minds

Where did you see me insulting Bush?
Before his tenure ran out, I used to be one of his staunch supporters in his war on terrorism.

[quote author=post.email]Wetin you dey talk? Why America no dey mind their business. Why they go dey find trouble for another country. Earlier in the year, them fly their drone enter Iran... Iran catch the drone. Now them dey fly near Iran to spy on the country. Why this America like wahala .
We don tire!!![/quote]Just in case you weren't aware, America is only doing their civic duty as a permanent member of United Nation Security council. They have to spy on countries that are known for their secretive nature(North Korea, Syria and Iran) in other to ensure that Japanese and German Madness of world war 2 doesn't repeat itself.
So you should be thankful that America are still keeping things in check, or else you will wake up one morning and discover that most of sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, have been over-ran by the Iranian military forces.

all4naija: I think both parties need work together to solve the economy and unemployment problems first before declaring such war.

I agree, but unfortunately Iran doesn't' want that. If War ensures between the two nations, it's Iran that will bear the full blunt of the force mainly because the war will be wage at that region.

livethinme: Iran isnt part of the Arab world, because Iran is not an Arab nation....

They might not speak Arabic as a native language, but Farsi which is their mother tongue had it's roots from Arabia.
Apart from that, they belong to an organisation comprising of Arabian countries, and partake in Arabian nation's cup.
Also, their genetic make up/DNA is similar to their Arabian neighbours.
So to all intents and purposes, they are just another Arabian country that happens to communicate in another tongue, much like in the case of Iraq.

It's high time America declare another war on terrorism...this time on Iran.[color=#990000][/color]

[quote author=سحيميظل]Remind me again why me or nigerians or any other country for that matter gives a......about the voting in the US?
Did americans follow ours in '09? I bet you, 89% of americans can't point where nigeria is on a map, just like how a guy said hers not too long ago, his co-worker taught nigeria is in brasil!?

Abeg, guy, knack your head for wall..[/quote]Typical muslin hatred for Americans.

obisage: being a Jehovah's Witness is the best thing that has ever hapoened to me.... being a Witness will open ur eyes to all this fakes prophets everywhere and also draw u close to God...

Sometimes i pity anybody who is not a witness....

Dude, you are even more deluded than those Islamic extremist!

Has it ever occur to those people that kept asking these dumb questions that maybe, just maybe earth might not be the only inhabited planet in the universe.
That maybe somewhere million light years away, another inhabited planet exist with living organisms of other shapes and sizes thinking they are the only living beings in the universe as well, and asking the same dumb questions as yours.
Think about this.

People have always wanted something to believe in. Unfortunately, they felt they would be lost without some common belief to hold on to.
Hence the creation of the Chinese mythology of Buddha, Islamic mythology of Mohammad, Christianity mythology of Jesus, Greek mythology of Zeus, Vikings mythology of Odin,etc.
So it is of little wonder that Imams and Pastors are gradually misleading their willing and gullible followers to the greatest myth of all;Prophesy.
An Imam will tell his followers to fulfill a Quran prophesy by killing their infidel neighbours.
A Pastor will tell his gullible followers to pay their tithes(To him) so that all his prophesies of their sad little gullible lives will come to past.
This is not a deliberate swipe at religion on my part, but plain logic and fact...and maybe a little cynicism.

So MTN still dey Naija, heh?

I don't like neither, but last time I checked, the blacks are one of the minorities in the United States.
So it would only be fair if an African-American stayed on as the President.
I vote Obama.
