Lol.. Awkward moment when a 3yr old april fools joke becomes reality

striktlymi: Good evening Heatblast,

The modification:

would be more appropriate in the social sciences, hence the inappropriateness of the analysis.

Says who You?

@ striktlymi

Although, the equation does not hold true in a every case. also religion isn't the only factor, other factors are neglected in this case.

I guess you didn't see this. maybe I should have put it like this

Although, the equation does not hold true in a every case because religion isn't the only factor, other factors are neglected in this case.[/b]

Yes, from statistical data, poverty(P) is directly proportional to religion(R)
P α R
inversely proportional to prosperity(p)
P α 1/p
Combining the two and introducing a constant(K) which could be any other factor, we get
P = KR/p
As we can see the more religious a nation/group of people get, the less the prosperity and the poorer the people

ebeano: if u believe in good and evil then believe in God and satan. there's the physical likewise the spiritual.

if u believe in non of these, ur course has no destination and u live like the feather.

You and your fellow africans that believe in such, where has it take you too?. What purposes has it given you in life?. Do you even know that there are some nations where majority don't believe in that and are doing way way way better than us??

lostones. have u wondered why the bible is the longest living book?

Simple: because anybody can use it to satisfy his/her taste(SPAGing is allowed)

Logicboy03: Lets look at the new Jerusalem for Nigerian christians- America


African Americans are far more religious than the total population based on many religious indicators, accroding to pew. However, the African Americans remain at the bottom of the society with the average income of a white family doubles that of an average black family

Not suprised. Two things Synonymous with a large population of Africans living anywhere is
1)Religion
2)Poverty

Now the question is if religion and poverty are mutually exclusive or potentially inclusive. From statistics, the latter seems to be the case

He is high yo

Me sef tire, one would expect that people who believe in a ultra rich sky daddy would be richer/ better than those who don't, but its the exact opposite, Aficans believe in a god more than the rest of the world combined(that's just me guessing) yet poverty rules unchallanged. We are always waiting for aid form the godless nations(compared to us) Take Nigeria for example, every friday and sunday, continious disturbance, yet no change.

So the ediot withdrew 200k from the bank and decided to go and watch a monkey show in a crowded place shortly after
Its either this story is exagerated/fake or that guy is a complete morooon

^^^
Plus you are female

You are probably agnostic btw

Now you see why you were always taught to never question god/ the bible



Good thing you're on a path to self discover/ truth

Later, someone would ask people to fast for them

musKeeto: The churches thrive because they are filled with minds like yours...

Gbam

No need to worry, you're prolly too afraid and its making your mind play tricks on you. All you need to do is to remember that you control your mind, nothing else can.

"Its all in ur mind" - inurmind

traeces: The bible contains the word of God. It has the letter and also the spirit. The letter kills, it is the spirit that gives life(2 Cor3:6)
ATHEISTS AND OTHER NON-BELIEVERS ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THE WORD OF GOD BY MAKING IT ADD UP LOGICALLY. IN THAT THEY ERR AND WILL CONTINUE TO ERR.
It takes a spirit to percieve a spirit and there is nothing spiritual about logic. It is simply intellectual.

If your "word of god" can't add up logically, then there is absolutely nothing that makes your religion true other than self delusion

traeces: Until recently I used to ignore atheists but I recently realized it was wrong of me to do that. That day, God asked me, "How can they hear, unless someone tells them?" That was how I had a reorientation. So read my story:
By training I am a
core scientist and very widely read.
My training predisposes me to ask
questions and question answers
until I arrive at questions that are
unanswerrable and answers that
are unquestionable. However, God
helped me. I realized years ago
that science as wonderful as it is
has its limitations. There are plenty
phenomena it hasn't been able to
evidentially explain. There are
several theories or positions it
held few years ago which in the
light of newer discoveries no
longer hold. What's more, it can
only investigate the natural,
physical world. Nothing more! It
has created absolutely nothing. All
true scientist and science itself are
bewildered by science's
discoveries some of which were
actually mistakes.
There is hardly any atheistic
position I haven't read,
understood and found credible
and completely satisfactory
answers to from the word of God.
And I tell you the truth, anybody
could find this answers satisfactory
as well except that they are
beyond science and logic. They are
spiritual. The bible has this to say;
"My thoughts are completely
different from yours," says the
lord. "And my ways are far beyond
anything you could imagine. For
just as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways
higher than your ways and my
thoughts higher than your
thoughts."
Is 55:8,9(NLT)
If we must find God, his term is
that we must come in faith for
faith is what connects the physical
to the spiritual. That was how
those who walked before us
obtained God's approval and until
we have faith, we will never ever be
able to trully understand (Heb
11:2-3)
God bless you and open the eyes of your mind to percieve his truth in Jesus name, Amen.

Sorry to say, but this is pathetic. :/
Core scientists don't settle for unverified myths

traeces: logicboy03, From someone like you who has guts to direct every kind of insult against God, I will not permit myself to feel insulted.
I have noticed however that you don't read and understand posts before you reply to them. Take your time, read over and over again until you understand then respond. Remember, it is not all about winning an arguement, what's at stake is actually the eternal destiny of your soul.
Am happy that all informed atheists are in agreement on the one fact that all bible stories could be traced and proven to have happened in history. In Numbers 21, God was leading Isreal out of Egypt, In the wilderness the people spoke against God and his servant. God sent fiery serpents among the people so that much of them died. When they confessed thier sins, God forgave them and provided for them a way out. God's solution was for Moses to make a fiery serpent and put on a pole. If a serpent bit anyone afterwards AND HE LOOKED UP TO THE POLE, he survived. Now that's beyond logic or illogical as you will prefer to put it. But it was God's method nonetheless. If anyone chose not to look up after being bitten by a snake probably because the solution was 'simplistic', he died.
God in his characteristic way has made Jesus the answer to all of man need. All he requires you to do is believe. He won't come down from heaven neither will he release someone from hell. In fact you might not get the privilede of a "damascus road experience". But believing leads to life and not believing leads to death. The ball is in your court.
Am praying that God in his mercies will open the eyes of your spirit and others like you so that you can see him and heed his call. God bless you.

Are you joking or something

@traeces Okay

traeces: I don't agree with you. Am a christian because I believe in the death, burial and ressurection of Jesus. And you need to know my faith derives from the word of God and it is the substance of my hope and the proof of the spiritual experiences that led me to believe.
That does not in any resemble how an atheist disbelieves God.

I don't think you get me. I know you believe in your god but what I'm try to assume here is that you don't believe in other gods. Simply put, you're an atheist to other gods apart from yours, and that is what I used to answer your first question

traeces: I have been seriously wondering, how do people become atheists?

traeces: I have been seriously wondering, how do people become atheists?

Well, its the same way you're atheist to other gods like allah, ogun, zeus, buddah etc. Your post could also go like this

traeces: In an ant's world, the internet is unimaginable that however does not make the internet any less a reality. That we percieve and relate to our physical world through the senses does not make zeus who is a spirit any less real. Actually, He is much more real than the things we see, smell, taste, hear and feel-for the things we see are temporal, it is the things we do not see that are eternal. Friends, ZEUS IS REAL!

Cool for skinny guys with straight legs, but absolutely wrong for guys with bow legs or fat guys.

Hazard is an Idi.ot, is that the first case of time wasting ever, do you know how many times I've wished I could enter my tv and kick drogba for his time wasting acts .I can't imagine being a ball boy for swanse and giving the opponent the ball qucikly.

My point: time wasting is an esentially part of the game even if its ball boy or player(if you don't know how to 'hold ball', you might end up conceeding in the final second of the match) for crying out loud they still had 10mins + stoppage time to play, and I think chelsea could have won that game if hazard didn't act stupi.dly.
I totally blame hazard, he should have kept his cool

Okija_juju: OP

Try taking samples from your childhood houseboy, Gateman, neighbour, The Pastor that prayed for your birth, etc..


Your mumsy don play away match be that!

Lmao
@ op.. It is highly reliable o.

the other day, my muslim friend was trying to convince me that islam isn't a religion too

Firstly, everybody can't be gay. Never can such happen. Infact the worlds gay population at any moment would always be less than 1%(that's just me guessing). So there is no need to worry about the human multiplication

Secondly, the way xtians pick on gays is getting annoying, you hardly see them talking about greed/coruption as the main cause of 'darkness' in the society They'll always rather pick on the minority. Talking about 'sins', like fornication, coruption, greed etc are not also big sins too. Smh

In the end, They'll agree with science on almost eveything(including evolution), just a matter of time... You can't fight evidence/facts with fairy tales/myths and expect to win.

aletheia: So you actually think Christians know a lot less than many atheists about the Bible &c? I believe you flatter yourself. You know nothing about God's purposes. And yes, unless you believe that Jesus is He, you will die.

Yup.. I agree with him.. So many xtians don't even know about the crimes against humanity their 'all loving god' commited in the bible. all they know is what their pastors preach in church.

Hahaha... All true
No1 reminds me of someone who was laughing at indians and calling them all sorts of names because they worship 'idols', animals and all sorts and I was like .. Atleast they can see their gods.. you can't see yours

gentlegg: This Kiwi and Humming bird i still wonder which is truly the only bird that can fly backwards. Back in my secondary school days i picked up Bubble Gum paper(then they use to write questions, then answers inside the gum paper) and i saw the question "the only bird that can fly backwards", they answered Kiwi and since that day I've memorized Kiwi as the answer but like 2 yrs ago i saw somewhere in internet that Humming bird is the answer, i then googgled it and majority of the results are saying Humming bird while a few mentioned Kiwi, since then am still in doubt as in which one is the answer.

Humming bird is the answer no doubt.. The kiwi is flightless

A bee can see the colors green, blue and ultra-violet – but red looks like black.

^^^
Hmm.. Me thinks black and white don't actually exist, they are just different colours our own eyes can't see, just like the bee sees red as black. Just my opinion tho

Not derailing o...
But I also think we need to find the elder wand that HP threw away after defeating voldermort
