Abu Zola:

The dafts is you, look at the difference between the baby, the other one was too riddish implicating a fake written one unlike the other genuine writing. Allah is Great

yeah use cognitive dissonance to deceive yourself that the other was fake while your own was real, how are we not sure that the one on the baby was fake as well? , "the flying spaghetti monster is great"!!

I:

Because you don't make any sense. . .

with all due respect, someone like you telling me i dont make any sense is as ridiculous as a bunch of bananas calling me yellow , dont worry i will forgive your ignorance and partial illiteracy that hinders your ability to comprehend my topic

davidylan:

I guess you never heard the saying - to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

If not for those "forecasts" you so ignorantly deride . . . chickenpox would still be killing us today.

Those forecasts were wide off the mark but its better to be safe than sorry. Viruses that make the animal-human jump are known to be the most virulent and difficult to treat. Think Ebola or Marburg viruses.

SPOT ON!!!!

mazaje:

I will be in naija by next month we can meet up if you want. . . . .

wetin dey happen, no body wan answer?

JeSoul:


  G1, you seem like a nice guy. Anyone who knows me and reads the op knows I wasn't making light of terrible disaster nor insinuating God killed all those people for 2 of his children - how ridiculous. There is a christian lesson in the story I told. You're not a christian and will not understand hence I requested you and other atheists respect the topic and not post.

okay no problem Jesoul, sorry for intruding, dont worry it wont happen again, see you on other topics, takecare of you and stay blessed,

@mazaje, thanks for your reply, is there away we can get in touch?

muhsin:

too much book?

yeah and religion thrives on ignorance

Hello to all nairalanders,

i have always seen blasphemy as a ridiculous thing, why do people feel the need to react or get angry for their god,

for example  a christian feels he can tell an ex christian who is  an atheist that the bible says in Psalm 14:1 - "the fool has said in his heart there is no god" but if the atheist replies saying : "the fool has said in his heart that there is a god" then the christian will get all red faced and scream blasphemy, my question is why do u feel you have the right to dish it and not take it?

same for the muslims, a muslim can tell an ex muslim who is an atheist that the quran says in 2:23 - "And if ye are in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto Our slave (Muhammad), then produce a surah of the like thereof, and call your witness beside Allah if ye are truthful" but if i as an exmuslim replies that:," i can produce something as good as the quran but who will be the judge? will allah come and judge?, then a muslim will get all red faced and scream blasphemy, my question still remains why do have a right to dish it and not take it?

i will post this topic in both the christian and muslim section so that i can get enough response from both sides

@topic, if you ignorant muslims/christians will just read a little bit of science it wouldnt hurt you know.

what that baby is suffering from is called: Dermatographic urticaria

Dermatographic urticaria (also known as dermographism, dermatographism or "skin writing" is a skin disorder seen in 4–5% of the population and is one of the most common types of urticaria,[1] in which the skin becomes raised and inflamed when stroked or rubbed with a dull object

The symptoms are thought to be caused by mast cells in the surface of the skin releasing histamines without the presence of antigens, due to the presence of a weak membrane surrounding the mast cells. The histamines released cause the skin to swell in the affected areas.


Dermatographia
Self-referential illustration of dermatographic urticaria

This weak membrane easily and rapidly breaks down under physical pressure causing an allergic-like reaction, generally a red wheal (welt) to appear on the skin. It can often be confused with an allergic reaction to the object causing a scratch, when in fact it is the act of being scratched that causes a wheal to appear. These wheals are a subset of urticaria (hives) that appear within minutes, accompanied by a sensation of burning, and itchiness. The first outbreak of urticaria can lead to others on body parts not directly stimulated, scraped or scratched. In a normal case the swelling will reduce itself with no treatment within 15–30 minutes, but in extreme cases, itchy red wheals may last anywhere from a few hours to days.

I made a very simple request that this thread be please respected. Please if you are not a christian I kindly ask that you do not post, you can open a new topic if you wish to discuss anything outside of the story. Moderators please kindly delete the offtopic entries. Thank you.

you come here happily announcing how god transformed the lives of two of your friends by destroying the lives of thousands of children, women and men, and you expect some people not to find your post and the actions of your god insensitive and malevolent?

the moment you open this thread you knew what was coming?

though i dnt believe i god, i will say bless you, you seem like a nice person, but i most tell you this topic you opened really feels and sounds insensitive and mean

round of applause for god for destroying a hole city and killing thousands of people just to touch and transform the lives of two of his children" ,

i hope he does not try to come and transform d lives of people close to me wow because i no ready for earthquake, 

peaceout

@topic,

what sort of rubbish topic is this? how can you dismiss all bankers and nurses because of the actions of just a few of them? , in every profession there are good guys and bad guys just as there are good girls and bad girls, so to say that all bankers and nurses are promiscous is a bit close minded and childish, the more we start to show a little respect for our females in this country the better for our future as a nation, peaceout

davidylan:

Apologies for being harsh but this is incredibly dumb and i dont see where i insinuated such. Millions of arab muslims fly through Ben Gurion airport in Israel every yr . . . despite the fact that Israel is highly security conscious and is about the only country to employ racial profiling to prevent terrorist attacks.

You work in Yemen, i'm not surprised you cant reason.

all you had to do was reply rather than insult me, anyways thanks for your reply and takecare,

Name of video: why didnt anybody tell me?

@OP,


I tend to see people as they are regardless of color, creed, religion

hi "eyesonyou" that should be the right attitude,

hatch#:

@g1
It beats my imagination how some dumb people like davidylan reason and come to their conclusions about other religions such as Islam. 

haba Hatch i understand your grudge with david but do we have to resort to name calling to pass our message across?, this goes to david and other nairalanders too, we are here to discuss as nigerians (hausa,igbo,youruba,ijaw,efik,idoma,gwari,muslim,christians,atheists, etc) , peace to all

davidylan:

Not all muslims are terrorists but virtually ALL terrorists are muslims.

The jews started profiling by religion and race at their airport after the last intifada . . . today Ben Gurion airport is regarded as the safest airport on earth. Its amazing that with all its enemies, Israel is yet to record terrorists on their aircraft in over a decade. It goes to show you how much evil you can prevent when you keepp these moslem vermin at bay.

david thanks for your reply, sorry i am a bit late replying, so are saying that we should stop all muslims from going to our airports?

@davidylan,
hello how are you doing, i am new here and from the number of posts you have i understand you are a veteran here, from your posts i can see why you have a problem with islam but is it fair that you condem every muslim including every man, woman, and child that is of muslim faith?, i started a topic in the politics section : "Painting Everyone with the Same Brush Syndrome", i was talking about condemning an entire ethnic/religious group for the actions of some of them, so are you telling me that its every muslim(man, woman and child) that is out to cause terror? ofcourse not, so holla back and tell me what you think?

peace

citizenY:

@ post

You can never win, the dog will always go back to its vomit.

The seemingly meek ones will disappoint you.

Good effort though.

i understand what you mean citizenY, but we cant just give up and continue with our old prejudiced ways, someone has to take a stand, anyway thanks for your input,

Katsumoto:

No they are not; I am a Christian but most of my friends are Muslims. I did not set out to make friends with just Muslims, I just came to that realisation one day. I have my criticisms of Muslims just as I have my criticisms of Christians. Whilst you have Muslims who are willing to be used by their clerics and leaders to commit murders, so you have Christians who will listen blindly to obviously fake pastors. My last comment was just to make a point, it was not intended to cause a digression.

i feel you my brother, like i said if we continue to have objective criiticisms like yours then maybe we can move forward instaed of painting everyone with the sam brush, may it be well with you brother, takecare

Katsumoto:

I have muslim friends from the North but I believe that they do not engage in mass murders for the following reasons
1. It is difficult for Northern muslims to go on rampage in the South. They are outnumbered
2. The ones I know are very privileged; mass murders are usually committed by Almajiris sent by their affluent masters

Also we can not discount the actions of Nigeria's first international terrorist. A boy from a very privileged background who still wanted to kill innocent human beings on foreign soil.

katsumoto i like your objective criticisms, at least you agree with me that not all of them are out to kill you!!!

chosen04:

Remain Blessed!

thanks and may you be blessed too

Katsumoto:

It is bad to generalise but when an action becomes synonymous with a person or group of people, then it is hard not to generalise. For instance I will never say all muslims are killers because I know that is not true. I know muslims in the south do not go on killing sprees. I can not say the same for muslims in the North. It is always one crises or the in the North. Even inconsequential events in Europe cause problems in the North (cartoon in Denmark). So I can safely generalise about the muslim North.

katsumoto thanks for your post, i understand your feelings and position, but are you telling me you have never come in contact with some muslims from the north whom you got along fine with? if yes then dont you think it will be unfair to blast them all?

.,.

this guy and PDP are a major source of embarrasment to nigeria, i was too embarrased to finish watching it, with all the intelligent people we have in this country, how did ojo end up as our foreign minister

chosen04:

Am i sleeping? Are you trying painting me(everyone) with same brush syndrome on me for my comment and question?

Dont you think i need your help?


What a question from the person who is advocating "CHANGE!"

you are getting me wrong chosen04, when i asked hope all is well with him, i meant it as a greeting not as an insult, if any of my posts offended you then am sorry, hope my apology is accepted?

chosen04:

When has using names for example become a crime? especially when the names are not real but mere surnames

I was taught about using names for examples in school. Werent you?

okay chosen04, go ahead help yourself

Sunny_bobo:

What do you call a religion wherein 90% of its adherent terrorize innocent people and 90% of its clerics preach hate?

Will it be out of order if one calls such adherents terrorists?

here we go again, where do you get your statistic of 90%?, are there no muslims in your work place? have they killed you?, lets not allow our hate to cloud our judgements, anyway thanks for your post Sunny_bobo, hope all is well with u?

bk_baybe99:

Yeah, generalizing is bad wit a capital "B"; except of course u using The Amaka or Michellin as examples!

hey bk thanks for your reply, but i will advice against the name dropping, like i said i dont wanna turn this topic into a war zone

sjeezy8:

Very true ive recently stopped all the generalizing, its a very bad habbit.

Thanks sjeezy , am glad am connecting with some people
