My pains is that even if these people are arrested, the judiciary will not help matter, the judiciary are as corrupt as every arm of the government , giving injuction and restraining orders against theives and arm robber running our polity, they keep on adjourning cases of corruption to an endless date.

Mr Troll: They have the right but their reasons are clearly bigoted. People are trying to help out in the society and you're denying them the right simply because they don't believe in your own version of skydaddy? Thats intolerance. Shows how religion promotes segregation and unnecessary hate.
Uncle Troll,I know its bigoted no doubt,your points are valid.

but they are running this kitchen as a RELIGIOUS group,it is just improper to allow atheists work there.

It goes againt the tenets of their mission statement.

What the atheists should have done in the first place was start their own kitchen,like they eventually did.

Logicboy03: No one is arguing that they dont have the right.

No one is crying. Even christians are ashamed of what happened. Are the news website that reported it crying? Use your brain to realize that soup kitchens need all the help they can get? To refuse volunteers based on faith is just ridiculous.
You the person that should use your brain, if the kitchen refused to give food to a poor hungry atheist then you would have had a point!! And yes you can refuse a volunteer if your visions are not the same. They are running the kitchen as CHRISTIANS. Please use your brain don't go back to how you used to be.

They need all the hands they can get but not atheist hands, is that bad? Infact they are saving atheists the stress of breaking their backs.

@Muskeeto no mind Logicboy I see him starting his own atheist ministry soon.

...a nice guy can be interesting,out-going,witty,intelligent,driven ,good/average-looking and ...wait for it...rich!!....who says these traits are the exclusive perserve of 'jerks'..as a matter of facts,most 'jerks' are too self-absorbed and spends most of the time feeling too entitled to make much of themselves in life anyway so what are we talking about?
....nice guys are nice because they are humane and considerate about the next persons feelings and most importantly loving towards their partners simple!!...
..as for the so-called bad guys...i am sorry for you,continue with your childish mind games and mean nature you hear...at the end of the day,the nice guys will eventually settle down in a loving relationship with their wives and kids while you'll be left in the dark still groping for the 'ideal' wife at 45yrs with one or two failed marriages in the mix.
#proudly team nice guys#..hehehe...
Hahahahaha Mr. Nice guy will usually have a heart attack if he finds out his woman has been cheating.

Nice guys don't beat girls: They usually don't but stress can change someone.

Add ya own.

Nice guys don't cheat: If buy cheat you mean deceptively have another affai whilst in one. You'll be amazed.
The only thing you need to establish in a relationship (not saying ooo, establish) is that you are ready to walk away if push comes to shove!

*generally speaking* Any guy that beats a woman is a cretin,worse than a gutter worm.

Graham123: I think most of the differing opinions here have greatly been misconstrued. A lot of hurt in the past or present tend to rear up, spark emotions and cloud thoughts which consequently render all our judgement a bit bias or out rightly off the mark. Let's all have some perspective.
Being too nice to the point of being silly is the perfect recipe for disaster in any relationship. However, love itself can be silly a times. Unless you have been in these shoes, then we should refrain from passing judgement.
In retrospect, my case was an eye opener. I am a fun-loving guy, sometimes wild. Never afraid to try out something new however dangerous it may seem. On the surface, people have a somewhat wrong perception of me, often judging by the care free nature of mine. Underneath however, I have a good heart, very retrospective and with a damning conscience. I once dated a lady I didn't love for almost 2 years just cause I couldn't bear to break her heart. During that period, I never cheated and I cared for her in a way only few people can match. I took my time until the relationship wore out naturally. That one was good but the circumstances which led to it in the first place is best to be forgotten.
My recent break up had a different twist to it. We started with a bang. One and a half years in and I started having career problems that just wouldn't leave. At some point, I lost my self esteem and confidence. I became reclusive, withdrawn from people and the fun left me. Became too jealous as a result of my low confidence and would pick on the smallest thing. My ex took all in until a point I guess. But she is the first person I ever took home to meet my mom after of course meeting her family. She did all the perfect things which I still even appreciate and grateful for today. We will talk sometimes about why we do quarrel. We often came to the conclusion that my situation is the cause and I will get back to my grind when it blows over. I cared soooo much, told her the best things and made her feel good about herself. She knows nobody will ever love her like I did and I guess she was afraid she won't meet someone like me again. Along the way, what I saw in her eyes was something out of pity more than love. Her mind wasn't really in it anymore. We had a big quarrel and we agreed to break it off with minimal fuss so we could still be friends. I initially objected but I later agreed because of she has done for me in past and the fact that I was majorly to blame sort of. However I found out she is already dating a guy I know as her friend and I had complained about when we were dating. That riled me up, got me thinking the shit has been on for sometime. I was extremely hurt, fact is it's the worst thing I have ever felt in my life. This was two weeks ago. I'm feeling a damn lot better now tho. Things are shaping up and I'm gradually get back my old self. I know somehow my insecurity got to her but she knows my situation caused it. And if the love was real, she won't have eyes for someone else. Real love I believe is patient, understanding and will always prevail. I know some people will give me the stick for some of my actions but you haven't been in those shoes. It's better not to criticize her too cause you havent been in hers either. I'm surprising myself with how quickly I'm moving on although I wish I had done some things better.
I could get your story just edit your name and it'll describe my past experience too.

Do you guys see a trend?!!! Once you show a woman emotions like jealousy,mushy mushy stuff and all. You will loose her because when you were asking her out,you were different.

A woman wants a rock,a man that can not only withstand his struggles but hers.
Most times our women tell us to share our pains with them, don't do it!!! She'll loose value for you.

If you wanna cry call your hommie and cry,not your wife or gf!!! You will loose respect

Logicboy03: Soup Kitchen refuses atheist help.



http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/10/24/south-carolina-soup-kitchen-refuses-to-allow-atheists-to-volunteer/






This is what happens when atheists readily think that christians will be reasonable allies if they associate with them. Just like our atheist Judas who had his comments hidden in the christian chatbox when he thought that he would appear like a "cool atheist" that could hang out with christians.

The christian director should have allowed the atheists to help. This is volunteer work and charity- one always needs hands to help the community. The good samaritan was not a christian. Any helping hand is better than none.

However, this should be a lesson to atheists here. While you must relate to christians and other religious people well, always be careful and try to be independent. The atheists that were rejected have now started their own humanitarian project
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/08/16/after-getting-rejected-from-a-soup-kitchen-the-upstate-atheists-have-found-another-way-to-help-the-homeless/
They reserve the right to say No to atheists,it goes againt the very foundation of their belief system.

What's the crying about?
Christianity EtcRe: See Those Who Mocked God by GeneralShepherd(m): 11:07am On Oct 25, 2013
Most of what you posted if not all is false

John Lennon (1940-1980) did say in 1966, "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that. I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now. I don't know which will go first - rock n' roll or Christianity."   Fourteen years later, Lennon was shot dead by Mark David Chapman in New York City on December 8, 1980.

The American teen magazine "Datebook" reprinted the "We're more popular than Jesus" interview which caused a stir of protests and a rash of Beatle record and memorabilia burnings on the streets in the US.  Beatles manager, Brian Epstein released a statement saying that the words of John Lennon had been taken out of context and while in Chicago Lennon and the Beatles called a press conference and apologized to the world for his comment.  

The band heard of threats from the Ku Klux Klan, predictions that they would all die in a plane crash or a hurricane.  This was about 2 years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the band made a decision to stop touring and focus their attention to work in the recording studio.



YouTube Video of the John Lennon Comment about Jesus

John Lennon was a Rock and Roll musician who started the popular British Invasion Band called the the Beatles in the 1960's.    Lennon and co-writer Paul McCartney wrote hundreds of songs together along with George Harrison and Ringo Star and together they remained at the top of the charts for nearly a decade.

Lennon was notorious for his little quips and often answered reporter's questions off answers the top of his head.   One of the earliest remarks like these was when asked how the Beatles found America, Lennon responded, "Turn left at Greenland."  

The Fab Four might have began in England but they gained European popularity in the rock and roll school of hard knocks working the taverns of Hamburg Germany.   The band returned to England where they were discovered playing at a nightclub by Brian Epstein who landed them a record deal and there first hits "Please Please Me" and "Love Me Do" skyrocketed them to fame.  Their 1963 US tour the U.S. included a Sunday Night live performance on the Ed Sullivan Show which introduced the for mop tops to the nearly every American family.  The band had a long run on the hit parade and in 1969 broke up and each Beatle pursued their individual solo careers.    In the Beatles Anthology documentary , George Harrison said, "They gave their money and they gave their screams, but the Beatles kind of gave their nervous systems.  Which is, you know,  much more difficult thing to give."

In his book, "Skywriting By Word of Mouth", Lennon wrote that he and the group had grown weary of touring and thanked Jesus for the comment that drove the band from the road and into the studio where they recorded their most creative projects.

After the breakup of the band, John Lennon wrote a couple of songs about God.  In his first solo album Lennon wrote, "God is a concept, by which we can measure, our pain."   This was a song where John list Beatles, Bible, Jesus, Zimmerman (Bob Dylan), kings, yoga, Kennedy, and mantra as things that he does not believe in and says he just believes in himself and his wife Yoko. 

Seven years before his death, in 1973, Lennon's biggest solo hit entitled "Imagine" included the lyrics, Imagine there's no Heaven, it's easy if you try.  No Hell below us, above us only sky."  Many interpreted the song to be a message against religion but this was John Lennon vision of the world living in peace and not fighting over spiritual ideals or materialism.

The question is, why would God wait so long to smite John Lennon?

Tancredo Neves (1910-1985) He was elected president of Brazil in  January 1985.   Neves underwent surgery before his inauguration and was unable to take office.  Vice president elect José Sarney Costa temporarily assumed the presidency.  Neves never recovered and died from complications following his surgery.   We have not found any evidence that he made the statement about God.

Cazuza  (4 April 1958 – 7 July 1990)  was a Brazilian composer, singer and poet who was noted for mixing the Bosse Nova with British and American Popular music styles.    According to his obituary in the July 8, 1990 New York Times, the openly bisexual Cazuza died of aids at the age of 32, not lung cancer.   We have not found any evidence that he mocked God.  Click for obit.

Marilyn Monroe (1926 - 1962) was married at the age to 21 to her first husband, Jimmy Dougherty.   According to the bio on Monroe's official web site, Dougherty, said of his wife, "She was a sweet, generous and religious girl."  Monroe was reared as a foster child in a devoutly Christian family in Hawthorne, California but there is not much information about what her spiritual beliefs were before she died.  Monroe's death was ruled to be "acute barbiturate poisoning" by Los Angeles County Coroner,  Dr. Thomas Noguchi.   A spokesperson for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association told TruthOrFiction.com that there was no discussion between Marilyn Monroe and Billy Graham.

Bonn Scott  (July 9th, 1946 -  February 19, 1980)   was the co-writer of the ACDC 1979 popular song "Highway to Hell" and at the age of 33 was pronounced dead on arrival at Kings College in London, England. The cause of death was asphyxiation as a result of vomiting after passing out after a night of heavy alcohol consumption.  The song Highway to Hell lyrics referred to the self destructive lifestyle of the rock and roll artist with the lyrics:  "Hey Satan, payin' my dues. Playing in a rocking band.  Hey Momma, look at me I'm on my way to the promised land.  I'm on the highway to hell."

The RMS Titanic was built in 1911 for the White Star Line at the the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast in the United Kingdom.  According to the archives.gov web site an unknown White Star Line employee at the time of Titanic's launch on May 31, 1911 said, "Not even God himself could sink this ship."  It is not known who this person was or if in fact he built the Titanic.

TruthorFiction.com is still investigating the other stories in this eRumor.

The Bible quotation in the eRumor taken from Galatians 6:7 but was used out context to the text surrounding it.   The Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians is about Grace, Christian living and the sixth chapter warns against being condescending and instructs on helping others who fall into sin.

I do not condone corruption but the way and manner Sahara Reporters made a scape goat of Stella Oduah without showing much proof of her direct involvement on its own was a suspect. Immediately, other APC propagandist media like PUNCH, Nation etc picked it up and made it headline story for close to seven days without much investigation except the rumours and gossips they gather from social media.

I really dont see it in her killing herself... Why cant she just live her life as anewhuh Fine the stigma will forever be there but with proper counselling and advice, I am sure she will scale through... Her parents should have started with an immediate relocation soshe will have fresh air in the midst of her immediate family...

Kai! another resource gone...

May her soul rest in peace. And by the way, OP please remove the name of the substance she took abeg.... Please I beg you... This will avoid others into thinking they can get it so cheap!
Typical Nigerian, blame the victims. You are more concerned about the wide spread of suicide than for efficient law enforcement!!!

Have you ever been molested? What makes you think an 18 year old that was molested by a gang has the ability to move on without proper counselling?
