Ranchhoddas: Well like other supernatural phenomena, science has failed to explain the phenomenom of spirit spouses. The events described by the sufferers are a far cry from what you term sexomania. Heck, the medical community does not even agree on whether sexomania is a real medical condition. I'll urge you to read up on detailed stories of the sufferers and tell me if their symptoms/complaints are consistent with any known medical/mental disorder.
There are no such things like supernatural phenomena, only natural phenomena which people do not yet understand
4kings: Woolgathering ideas are different from those people actually believe even if some are wrong.(at least something led the MIND to think that way) So it's not a silly thought, it's more of being open-minded, except you have ABSOLUTE PROOF that there is nothing more to the natural system we know.
Really, so tell me in detail why you do not believe in the Lochness Monster. Keep in mind that people do!
Ranchhoddas: Who says that science is the only means of detecting things in the universe? You? Is this another display of infinite knowledge?
Science is the only means of detecting anything in this universe- even something as abstract as love.
How do you know someone loves you? Well, you can only know if you communicate with the person. -See how the person talks to you (with respect, friendly tones etc) -See if the person is willing to do things for you -See if the person understands or accommodates your eccentricities
While most people don't think about it like science, they are doing scientific research, albeit informally.
-Hypothesis; Does she love me? -Research parameters- how is love defined and what are the criteria for love (sacrifice, respect, understanding, passion) -Testing- going out on dates and living together.
favouryemmy: This is a very good post. We as children of God love atheists as a people but not their position on the existence of God. This is the kind of love that the Bible talks about. We love you as fellow human beings but there is a clear difference when you talk about the kind of love that makes people marry. The same Bible that says we should love our neighbors also tells us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. That means we should not be tied to them, marriage inclusive because it's unequal. Such a marriage will never be a happy one and the offsprings produced might have to suffer from this. Atheists should marry only atheists so that they can be equally yoked and there would be one less area of conflict. Someone like Seun should therefore marry an atheist like himself.
Do you know how many christians have married muslims in Yoruba families long before you were born? Do you know how many christians marry atheists abroad
There is life outside your bible. Religion is bigger than the bible. Even Pharisees knew scripture.
Ranchhoddas: Is categorically declaring that there are no such things as spiritual spouses not an arrogant display of infinite knowledge?
Sir do you wash women's panties? I mean, only you wants to defend the lady's honour from a bunch of reasoning atheists?
Jokes aside, spirits and succubi have been in human mythology from the beginning of time. The fact that there has never been any evidence for over thousands of years show that it is a bunch of lies.
This is not arrogance but simple common sense.
As far as science is concerned, ghosts have never been and can never be evidenced.
winner01: Dude, in the real world, christians dont care about all this. But you cant expect to spend your life on a religion section, mocking religious people and expect them not to point out your stupidity. Its like spending your life on the sports section, telling sport lovers how much you hate sports. Its abnormal, more like a disability.
Is that why many of you won't hire atheists or even let them register a humanist org in Nigeria?
And we (atheists) are on the religion section for many reasons. Some are interested in learning about African Traditional religions, some are interested in light/space oriented new religion, some are here to fight against tithe (alongside non tithing christians), some are here because there is no philosophy section...............................
Ishilove: Narrow minded reetards fail to understand that life is not all black and white as they have fooled themselves into believing.
Anyway, we know how stiffnecked scoffers usually end up.
Anyone who quotes my username again to insult themselves and members of their female lineage will have what's coming to them. Just because you don't agree with someone does NOT give you the right to misyarn.
So, what is the colour of your spirit husband? I thought ghosts were white?
With regards to the memes above and to be on topic- spirit spouses, husbands or wives are nothing but ridiculous superstitions. Ridiculous beliefs get ridiculed.....
HardMirror: Ishilove, how long will you deceive yourself? As a woman, when you have medical issues, pls take the spiritual approach, ignore the solutions science provides. You people are just Du**
If not for science. People like you prefer us to remain in the dark ages of superstitions. Witches, blood money, spiritual husband/wife, fair girls being marine spirits, small children falling sick often being Ogbanje, all those backward silly things. Seun is right, if you dream of having sex then you need good sex not prayers. Geez!!! How dumb can people be?
See what a cult can do to a healthy brain?
She is intelligent and creative but the church she goes to is a very superstitious one which casts and bind demons as much as cows eat grass.
The cult of a church has destroyed the rational abilities of such a creative writer.
HardMirror: Don't mind them. Many of them need a psychiatrist. Spirit husband ko, spirit boyfriend ni
I uderstand their fears.
I remember when I first got sleep paralysis. It was like a demon was sitting on my chest and I couldnt move from the bed. I could hardly move. I prayed and prayed to be cleansed of evil.
......only to find out that it was a simply physiological/psychological problem some years later.
You see, these people have these primitive fears that they do not understand due to ignorance. The religious part of their brain takes over and turns inexplicable problems into spiritual issues.
Anas09: And that makes it acceptable? Even if the entire world is doing it, If the Lord says "Thou shall not be unequally yoked", it means "Thou shall not be unequally yoked", it doesnt matter if an Angel did it. Its still not acceptable.
Those doing it, think marriage is just a man and a woman coming together to raise a family, support each other and keep each other's company. No, not just that.
Anyone who understands why Christ calls The Church His Bride will umderstand what marriage is all about.
Anytime the Bible wants to discuss our relationship wirh God, it uses the relationship between a man and his wife to describe it. People who the things of God are light to, will be shocked when they face to face with whom they say is their Lord.
plaetton: My friend, I have no idea what you're trying prove here.
There are no sizeable diaspora blacks in Arab countries. Arab countries don't even pretend to be Democratic. So please stop insulting us with this " Arab" deflection of a critical issue.
There was an interesting documentary few weeks ago about white attitudes towards blacks and crime.
About 5 white youths( actors) , dressed in hoodies, were staged on a white neighborhood trashing a car and making a lot of noise. White folks walked by, looked at the youths , few questioned them, by walked quietly away.
An just few streets away, 4 black youths( actors) were staged inside a car, pretending to be sleeping.
Guess what happened ?
White folks walking by called 911 to report the presence of black youths planning a robbery.
Later, the situations were reversed. Black youths were staged on the same spot, trashing the same car in the white neighborhood. Guess what happened? Almost all the white folks walking by called 911 to report the incident to the police.
So you have the same scenario, with black youths and white youths, but the reactions are totally different. The same goes for the police in the manner that they respond to black youths and crime.
I wouldnt mind a link to the video.....
Here is a similar scenario -a white boy stealing a bicycle; no one bothers -a black boy stealing a bicycle; people start asking questions and wanting the cops to know
The boys were of similar age and were wearing the same clothes.
Whenever I enter a church and I see the pastor wearing a $700 suit with 4 bodyguards at his side, I wonder if the guy is ready to go to the heaven he preaches about- he doesn't want to die yet and he loves the material things (expensive clothes and shoes) in this material world
Madcow telling his experience with religious zealots
MadCow1: I have even been preached to inside an Aircraft right in the middle of a turbulence (No jokes this one).. The Plane was shaking like a tambourine at a Black Baptist Church and this dude next to me looks at me who was vibrating in fright and says "Should we die now, where will you spend eternity".. Like seriously Dude!! Right Now?! WTAF?! Meanwhile, MadCow is filing out his NYSC registration form and writes 'Atheist' in the religion column and the entire NYSC staff members take it upon themselves to either victimize me or convert me.. #TrueStory.
Anyways.. I was not supposed to type all this but I still find it hard to believe or agree that Unbelievers have grown to the point of now being considered a menace or a nuisance.
peterphd: I don't condone the killing of a 12 year old no matter the race. The fact remains that whites are shamed by the politically correct establishment by branding every white solidarity move or statement as racist. Case in point. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/263351/actor-jesse-williams-bet-awards-blame-whitey-rant-crystal-wright If a white person had said something remotely close to this, he'd be clubbed to death on social media and he'd probably lose his livelihood and endorsement deals (for sportsmen). Why does every other race claim to be a victim of the white one?
Good.
If a man beats a woman, he will be nationally shamed, he will lose his job and then go to jail for assault. If a woman beats a man, it wont make news and she might even escape jail because the man might be too ashamed to say the truth.
Why are women treated with a softer hand when it comes to domestic violence? Why the double standard? The double standard exists because men are overwhelmingly the offenders when it comes to domestic abuse.
This same double standard exists when a black man does racist stuff versus when a white man does racist stuff- White people in the history of America have gotten away with so much racism that every black case of racism seems almost insignificant.
Is it fair? No. But it is understandable.
Still, if I have black friends saying racist stuff against whites, I stop and correct them.
A Mr Karlovitch was asked why he stopped going to church and here was his answer;
Karlovich: Because d christian god fcked someone's wife(mary) and threatned to deal with his husband (joseph) if he doesn't go ahead and marry her. he then murdered his bastard son when he turned 33 i.e the product of his adultery. Praise be to yahweh
BossLadyF: An atheist proposed to me just last month and I didn't think it twice to say no. He said things like "I won't disturb you from serving your God, our children will be raised uprightly and when they are old enough, they will choose either being Christians or atheists" but I know once I enter that house, he won't allow me to serve my GOD again
