Most times when we talk about suicide or discuss people who committed suicide, we often blame them or label them cowards. It is also popular to hear people say those who commit suicide would end up in hell as punishment.

Let us not be quick to judge those who commit suicide.

Depression is real and it can be very overwhelming.
Truth is it hurts when a loved one takes his/her life but we should not be quick to use that single act to judge such people.


I have suffered depressing at several points of my life and i understand how it can be. It only ends in suicide when:

1. You keep to yourself: share the problem with friends.
2. Have close friends and family members that you can share your burdens with.
3. Look at the big picture. Your problem most times is not as bad as you think. Ask yourself 'What is the worst thing that would happen?'
Then ask yourself aint there people in worse situations?
4. Laugh at yourself and call yourself stvpid. yeah we all very stvpid. You broke? Damn! Laugh at yourself. Your bf/gf just broke up with you? Laugh! In serious debt? Laugh!
5. Consult with others on the problem, get different perspectives even if you dont let them know you are the one in the situation

He never came with the proof.

Biggers82:

lol. From her comment you wld know it has happened several times sef.

Colourich:
What were you expecting from a benin witch? .

oh! Now i know her problem! That girl talks like a slut always

Chuphy:
I doubt if u still get the point,
The word Who doesn't necessarily mean person thats why I added HOW? for avoidance of doubt.
depending on ur foundation as a researcher u can launch a research on the ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING THAT EVER EXISTED IN THE UNIVERSE.
let me give u a little clue,ppl often use e. g 17BC,17AD as date while presently we use this system 01-01-01 now who/how recorded the first date that ever existed.
just research about the start of everything. but pls do not limit ur research archive to Google go beyond Google.but something tells me u only created this topic for fun.that's why I won't go deep with u on scientific discoveries of the earth.

this alone shows you lack ability to think. So god was the one that gave use a dating system? Lol. Damn! Dumb people everywhere

Chuphy:
I'm not really into any argument on whether God exist or not but maybe u just want to play on some Christians intelligence, which for u could be fun.
I know u believe scientists as every of their proof have evidence but permit me to ask u questions that make Scientists believe There must be a superior being controlling the earth.
1.How did the universe emerge/Start
2.Now universe comprises The earth which we call system in thermodynamics, and its surroundings which include other planets,The atmosphere, Underneath the earth. The question is who and how did this things exist.
3.Science does not believe anything can exist without a reference point hence they resulted in calling anything that is origin/beginning can not be traced as Nature.
4.Sorry for this it can be proved biologically that ur parents gave birth to u can it be proved biologically how the first human exist,if u say from apes how did the first ape exist if u say from decay plants how did the plants exist,if u say from the .mixture of soil and water, how did the world come about soil and water?
5.my point is if u trace the existence of anything u see in the universe to its origin, u will come to a point where the research on its origin enters metaphysical,that is the same problem Quantum physics is having today, they had to conclude at a point that everything they thought was physical wasn't now they ended up believing the existence of a spiritual world.
6.Out of curiosity some atheist launched a research into the spiritual world starting from the practice of witchcraft and magic in times of old but they still can't explain the origin of this spiritual world.
7.I am a scientist that likes reading only comments on naira land to laugh .this is actually my first comment.
8.Just take this submissions from me.The word ORIGIN is actually the practical meaning of GOD.
whatever u trace its origin and u get to a point u can no longer trace further that point where u stopped is where u ask urself.
9.yes I'm sure this world didn't just exist someone must have instituted it.plants,humans,animals sands,water can't just exist someone must have instituted it,
10.Now who is this person with no point of reference/origin, who is this person that was there at the START ,who is this person that was there b4 the use of TIME when the world recorded its first date.01-01-01.
thanks Read and share. my signature.
JUSTIN

you keep saying 'truth' truth that cant be presented to the world? Anything shrouded by men aint truth, they are lies. Have you ever heard that any scientist or news agency was given access to study these so called charms in action? Lol. Keep fooling yourself

hopefulLandlord:

I'm sure he succeeded in fleecing most of these Yahoo boys but atheists spoil him show

i guess i can say " God bless atheists" lol

His number one fan was that granny wetin be her name again? Ishilove abi wetin she call herself. I wonder when christians became fans of babalawos lol

Amberon11:
You saw my response and didn't see his?

i didnt see any 'perfect' response so please point me to the perfect response

Obainoneandonly:
I know they
are real. If I can see you face to face,I will show it to you firsthand how it works......are you up for the challenge

so you prefer to show me instead of those that would pay to see these things? You think i have not seen enough bullshiit already? Lol. You are a joker

Amberon11:
A perfect response from a good Christian brother was given above. Please what is your business with this thread ? Where atheists invited?

point me to the response please

Obainoneandonly:
beer parlour gossip u say,but they are real...I know people like you will be very difficult to convince,even if d evidences are so glaring to your face

see if i am as sure as you i wont be here on nairaland trying to convince anyone. I would be discussing with top military companies that would pay to have this 'marvellous' charms

Obainoneandonly:
beer parlour gossip u say,but they are real...I know people like you will be very difficult to convince,even if d evidences are so glaring to your face

i said dont convince me. You know they are real. Go and make yourself some money. How hard is that?

amaniro:
why I said so, ironically most people can't find him in church cause he's not there. Because the church have gone astray from God's plan.

you snake and liar! Where did you mention church before? Were you not talking about your special prayer group? You guys think we are daft or what?!

Obainoneandonly:
have you put d challenge to the native doctors..babalawos,dibias and co and see if theirs will fail

you dont need all that stress. Call any of the military companies in the united states and tell them you have bullet proof charms that works. If you can perform a successful demonstration i promise you, you are in good money. This thing is not rocket science it is as simple as ABC. If you can demonstrate that voodoo that makes people disappear, you should be a millionaire in hundreds of millions of dollars. FACT! This is not time of chitty chatter! Make some money just from demonstrating. You dont even have to go yourself, they are willing to come if you can convince them it works

Obainoneandonly:
u make me laugh,I know u know what am talking, as a Yoruba man dat you are.. the signs are everywhere for you to see...voodoo wrks perfectly well,and its tested nd comfirmed.....deny it all you want,but the issue still stands

of cos i know what you are talking about. During ife and modakeke conflict they were using chicken eggs as bombs. But guess what? It was all stories. Where are the chicken egg bombs? The explosives industry is a multibillion dollar industry and an african man claims they were blowing up buildings with chicken eggs. Where are the eggs? Just demonstrating this alone can make me a millionaire instantly. There are people willing to pay good money to just see a demonstration and more money to have samples to take back to their lab and study. If an exploding egg exists i wld buy it from the babalawo and sell to a laboratory in the United states for nothing less than $50million. Fact!

All these things are pure beer parlour gossip

hopefulLandlord:
I'm an Antitheist. I think belief in god(s) is harmful to the human race

abeg, where is that babalawos guy sef. Been ages i saw his post. Has he given up on fooling people here?

Obainoneandonly:
have seen somebody been shot at, and d bullet didn't penetrate his body..my father has one (voodoo)on His farm dat anyone dat trespasses into it and try to steal from it will be afflicted with a terrible illnesses or disease.. have seen it first hand,and d aftermath....have seen someone been buried alive,then when d native doctor called out his name once, he came out of a room dat had no door adjacent to where we were standing (Edo state) .....these are just few.have seen many and worse cases than dis ones

stories. Why do i call them stories. Bullet proof my ass.

Imagine the body gear policemen and the military use. Kevlar and other high impact absorbtion materials in use today, imagine they remain a mare hear-say like you voodoo... they are in use today and comapnies generate billions of dollars selling them annually around the world. Do you know why your bullet proof charm remains a story you guys share and it is not in vogue? Cos it does not work. Simple. If it works, it wont be a mystery. All mysteries or so called hidden knowledge are ALL lies! Everything that works from computer coding to nuclear power are all open to learn and apply the knowledge. Only fraudsters deal with mysteries.

amaniro:
is not about how long is about what will happen within that time. If you want to find God like this, you just want to prove something. That's not the way

i was once a christian and i know many christians. NOTHING happens when you pray. It is all in your head.

Obainoneandonly:
you are a yoruba and u deny d existence of d devil?..
all those voodoo and charms DAT all those babalawo do,where do you think it came from

what voodoo? Voodoo aint real, just as magic are all tricks. Nothing supernatural about voodoo.

Give me examples of voodoos you know to be real. Lets start from there

Amberon11:
The op said specifically that he wanted input from Christians but trust nairaland frustrated atheists to jump in.

and you mr christian, what has been your contribution?

Obainoneandonly:
now let's get d discussion going...are you an African? if yes,please specify the location.. if nigeria,specify the region

i am nigerian and a yoruba

castro316:
One proof that God exist is your DNA. That structure that carries your Genes In the human cells. The way the DNA is is arranged shows that such cannot happen from random natural selection.

Another proof that God exist is our spirit. God made our spirit in his image and his likeness so when you observe things from the spiritual perspective you will understand that God exists

History has. Proved the existence of Spirits so there is a possibility that there is a spiritual world which behaves like ours. There must be a ruler of that world

Scientists are gradually close to proving that a God exist because there are some things that cannot be explained till now like how the human displays emotion such as love jealousy. And the casting of imaginations from our brain there must be something that makes all these possible

what is God? Define what you mean by God


[b] n monotheistic thought, God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and the principal object of faith.[3] The concept of God, as described by theologians, commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), and as having an eternal and necessary existence. Depending on one’s kind of theism, these attributes are used either in way of analogy, or in a literal sense as distinct properties of the God.

God is most often held to be incorporeal (immaterial).[3][4][5] Incorporeity and corporeity of God are related to conceptions of transcendence (being outside nature) and immanence (being in nature, in the world) of God, with positions of synthesis such as the "immanent transcendence".

Some religions describe God without reference to gender, while others use masculine terminology, using such terms as "Him" or "Father," and some religions (such as Judaism) attribute only a purely grammatical "gender" to God.[6]

God has been conceived as either personal or impersonal. In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, while in deism, God is the creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe. In pantheism, God is the universe itself. In atheism, God is not believed to exist. In agnosticism, the existence of God is deemed unknown or unknowable. God has also been conceived as the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent".[3] Many notable philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of God.[7]

Monotheists refer to their gods using names prescribed by their respective religions, with some of these names referring to certain cultural ideas about their god's identity and attributes. In the ancient Egyptian era of Atenism, possibly the earliest recorded monotheistic religion, this deity was called Aten,[8] premised on being the one "true" Supreme Being and creator of the universe.[9] In the Hebrew Bible and Judaism, "He Who Is", "I Am that I Am", and the tetragrammaton YHWH (Hebrew: יהוה‎, traditionally interpreted as "I am who I am"; "He Who Exists" are used as names of God, while Yahweh and Jehovah are sometimes used in Christianity as vocalizations of YHWH. In the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, God, consubstantial in three persons, is called the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In Judaism, it is common to refer to God by the titular names Elohim or Adonai. In Islam, the name Allah is used, while Muslims also have a multitude of titular names for God. In Hinduism, Brahman is often considered a monistic concept of God.[10] In Chinese religion, God (Shangdi) is conceived as the progenitor (first ancestor) of the universe, intrinsic to it and constantly ordaining it. Other religions have names for God, for instance, Baha in the Bahá'í Faith,[11] Waheguru in Sikhism,[12] and Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrianism.[13]

The many different conceptions of God, and competing claims as to God's characteristics, aims, and actions, have led to the development of ideas of omnitheism, pandeism,[14] or a perennial philosophy, which postulates that there is one underlying theological truth, of which all religions express a partial understanding, and as to which "the devout in the various great world religions are in fact worshipping that one God, but through different, overlapping concepts or mental images of Him." [/b]


So what really is God and which God are we talking about?

Obainoneandonly:
bros why are you confusing yourself like this..let's have a constructive dialogue,and stop behaving like a marauding rogue

lol. Ok let me see where you are going. How do you expect someone who does not believe in God to believe in the devil? This really beats my imagination. Are the two characters not from the same source? How can i believe there is a batman character and not believe there is a Joker or Bane? How? Or believe there is an Harry Porter and not believe there are Death Eaters or Dementors? That your question was actually very dumb.

Obainoneandonly:
what I want to ask you is dat, do you believe dat there is devil

oh yes. Devils like the people who created religions. Devils like moses the mass murderer, mohamed the marauder, hitler the acclaimed annointed of God... etc

amaniro:
come to my prayer meeting. We pray for four hours nonstop possibly you may find him there. You can't just find him cause of debate purpose or atheist analysis but willingness if you really want to Know if he exist pray nonstop. In tongues by the way.... doctrines are too long for narrations

muslims have special prayers that can last that long too. ATR has special rituals that can last days. I guess that makes their gods real too right? The longer you can exhibit madness, the better

What sort of idiotic replies am i reading here?

obainojazz:

Show us the honorable/senator with you

you get sense. Stupid people deceiving gullible nigerians. That girl cant naturally have 500k in her accnt from he yeye acting
