When all the tales in the book have been told over and over. When people have gotten tired of being scared with hell and the promise of heaven, what's more than to spice it up with comedy. Addicts, who want their hit of bullshiit to keep their dopamine of ignorance. Addicts, afraid to face the cold reality of death. Addicts, getting hooked on the drug of hope, believing there's a place where the river flows with milk and wine. Just so we are clear, I didn't crucify anybody's saviour, nor did I eat any forbidden fruit. So please, wallow in your self manufactured guilt alone.

LMFAO, she looks like barney, that cartoonish character I used to watch on TV. Isn't this the same girl that called someone's husband a one minute man? Your boyfriend must be an angel to date someone like you. Or maybe he's just doing it out of pity, who knows?

echelons:
I give to Jumia though.

They've really improved recently. I just wish their 3rd party sellers will fall in line and be frank about what they sell on the platform.
Customers get a lot of junk that looked good and beautifully described.

These days, I don't buy online items I haven't seen before.

Their riders should be trained too. Recently had an issue about one of their riders which I called their contact center to make a report.

Jumia is someone's investment, the distribution chain should be intact, if not the business might just collapse at the weakest link of the chain.

Do they do pay on delivery?

Christianity Etc › Re: The Recipe For Effective Prayer - Talk Less And Believe More! By Reno Omokri by Hakeem12(m): 8:30am On Dec 09, 2018

First of all, here's a simpler question: are prayers answered literally, in the same way a nairaland question is answered literally? I.e., are prayers answered clearly and explicitly, in English or another human language, without any doubt as to what the answer is, in a timely manner?

I think 95 percent of people would agree that the answer to this simpler question is no. Growing up in a christian religion I was told, "God answers prayers in his own time and in his own way." Religious people who believe prayers are answered or who have experienced answers to prayer experience them in the form of feelings and comforting thoughts. Answers to prayer are generally in the spiritual realm rather than the temporal realm--whatever that means.

So, given this, are prayers "answered"? Not in any scientific or predictable way. But do humans experience spiritual "answers" to prayer? Absolutely. The problem is just that these "answers" to prayer are completely unrelated to physical reality as far as I know, so they don't exist as anything more than a human experience.

Which isn't to say that human experiences aren't valuable, as long as you classify them as such.

Putting your belief in modern science, will do you more good than putting it in a sky daddy whose supposed delegates scam you of your hard earned money and leave you to wallow in abject poverty. The great unmentionable evil at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal - God is the Omnipotent Father - hence the loathing of women for 2,000 years in those countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male delegates.

Christianity Etc › Re: Wrestling Against The Power Of Darkness; What's The Meaning? by Hakeem12(m): 8:26am On Nov 18, 2018

As with most mythical and supernatural beings (yes, those are technically two different things), the only ‘evidence’ we have for such are the assertions of people that believe in such. You can read about demonic forces in many Holy Books, and definitely in much of the supporting literature produced outside of them.

It was a fairly common thing in medieval literature to attribute strange behaviour and mental illnesses to demonic possession: the threat from the Catholic Church was that, if you did not follow the doctrine and behave as a ‘good Catholic’, you might go to Hell, ruled over by Satan and his host of demon minions. Those particularly weak of faith might be subject to demonic attack while still alive: thus, they would be ‘possessed’, their souls stolen or suppressed, and their bodies inhabited by a fairly malevolent being. Or so people were told. Living in a superstitious time, you can imagine the effect that sort of thing had.

As for actual demons…nope, no evidence of them. You could point to any mentally-ill person suffering from a psychotic break and say “They’re possessed by a demon! They need an exorcism!”, but you could just as easily say “The Space Pixies have infested his brain! Bathe him in olive oil - it’s the only thing that works!”. And if you were living in an age where you were ill-educated and had absolutely no understanding of mental health (as was true in the times when stories of demons were widespread), you’d probably believe the person who said it, provided they were an authority (and the people saying it tended to be Priests, who had a lot of traditional authority!).

So, yeah, the Space Pixies got him. Sucks to be him, I guess.

But, realistically, ask yourself: if Demons existed and were as widespread as the Church once reported, how come we’ve never captured one on video? Or captured one in a net and sent it to a science lab? Do you suppose that just means they’re extra sneaky, and can’t be seen if you’re looking (it’s like the damn Space Pixies: they get you when you’re asleep!)? Or do you just suppose that they probably don’t exist, and somebody made them up?

I leave that conclusion to you. Just remember: olive oil for the Pixies. You may need it some day.

Christianity Etc › Re: The Rapture Will Not Happen Until Christians Have Faced The Great Tribulation by Hakeem12(m): 8:22am On Nov 18, 2018

In the beginning there was no sin and everything was good. But it came to pass that Ajègbodò ate the forbidden coco yam in Igbó Olódùmarè, and sin came into the world.

And Shakilimoon was grievously offended, for coco yam was his sacred yam. But he was not angry with his people, the Yam - eating tribes of Africa, for too long. So he sent his only son, Shakamundi, to hit his foot against the Rock of Askamandu, so that whosoever believes in him shall be saved and have early morning erections.

And it came to pass that the peoples of Asia, Europe and America refused to believe in Shakilimoon and his only son and his foot pain from his foot injury on the Rock of Askamandu. And sin multiplied among these people.

Go ye therefore, o yam - eating tribes of Africa, and spread the good message of Shakilimoon and the foot injury of his son, Shakamundi on the Rock of Askamandu, to every creature on the face of the Earth.

The Book of Shakilimoon, Chapter 1, verses 1-10.

And the Lord Shakilimoon took me in a trance, and showed me heaven, his holy abode.

Before me was a huge aluminum container, filled with àmàlà to the brim. And right in the centre of it was a deep well filled with hot gbẹ̀gìrì and living and alive ewédú, intimately locked in a divine tango. In another concentric circle at centre of the central well was a collection of the most unimaginable assortment of ògúnfe, ṣàkì, roundabout, abọ́dì́, àgémáwo and the most luscious convoluted pọ̀nmọ́, baptized and immersed in the most aromatic peppersauce.

And the Lord said to me, "Behold, I prepare all this for those who do my will in my kingdom".

And he turned to his right and showed me a long queue of palm wine tappers, dressed in immaculate white dàńsíkí and sòkòtò, with abetí ajá caps to match, all bearing freshly tapped palm wine that was breathing life and fire in shiny gourds.

And lord Shakilimoon said, "this I have further prepared for all those who listen to the High Priest of Shakilimoon and send him palm wine and isi ewu during their earthly life".

And I saw myself take position among the saints, devouring these things provided by my lord in this great banquet. And I looked behind me and saw an army of irúnmọlẹ̀, bearing great local fans, fanning away the beady sweat gathering on my forehead as I devoured amala, which was singing shakaleluyah, in the company of gbẹ̀gìrì and ewédú, to the accompaniment of àgídìgbo drums provided by oríṣiríṣi and cow leg and goat meat.

And I looked again, and saw my grandmother, encouraging me to eat a little more àmàlà but that I should take it easy as the Lord Shakilimoon always keeps his word about abundant amala in his heavenly kingdom. But I did not heed her advice as I was too drunk in the presence of my Lord, the Giver of all Morning Erections and the Lubricator of all Plates in Middle Earth.

To him be all common sense and logic forever. Amen.
Shakmen!

Wow, op you must be so lucky to be born into a Christian home. Guess your God will burn the whole continent of Asia, The UAE, and every other African countries for not being born one or into one. That must be grace speaking for you op. You are lucky indeed, why your god has condemned the rest of the world and deemed you alone lucky and whoever follows your definition of worship is just great.

Even the Jesus story in itself is just pathetic. I didn't ask him to die for my sins. He didn't ask my permission before he died. He will even burn me for not acknowledging that he died for me. Now all these happened in the middle east 2000 or so years ago, not even here in Nigeria. That don't make no sense at all. Roman mythology = mythology, Egyptian mythology = mythology, African mythology = mythology, now Jewish mythology = the truth, Arabian mythology = the truth. Hypocrites everywhere. The same hypocrites that condemn masquerade festivals in their country and celebrate Halloween
