That doesn't mean the activities of witches and wizards are not real.

No they aren't real. Gimme proof of their existence. Simple

Trollronaldo:
Science is a field of skepticism. Scientific principles requires that you do not outrightly overrule or accept the possibility of a phenomenon until an evidence for or against is available. Both religion and atheism fall short here.
Religion accepts the idea of gods without workable evidence for them while atheism reject the same idea without evidence against all gods (there are evidence against most gods but not all).

Atheism always argue from a philosophical standpoint that religion carries the burden of proof for their claims. While this maybe right in philosophy but however it doesn't hold water in science.

In science, the proposer of a claim is not necessarily required to prove it. Those who are against that claim also can disprove it to show everyone that the idea is wrong. This, as a matter of fact is the core tenent of science.

There are thousands of ideas today accepted in science that were not proven by the person who first proposed the idea, likewise many of the ideas we accept today in science were a result of someone disproving another person's claims. This is simply how science works.

So atheism and religion are not reasoning within the confines of scientific principles which permits you to remain skeptical on both ends until evidence for or against an idea is available.
I have also observed that most atheists equally, are unable to let their ideas go as a religious. The moment you challenge their ideas, you will force them into cognitive dissonance. They are not willing to leave it even in light of a superior argument.

On that note, I conclude that Agnosticism is the best approach to understanding the concept of a god/creator.

@ the bolded, when did science tell you that? Science always tells us a proposer of a theory should back up his/her claim with a premise, at least

Prayer
noun
a solemn request for help [/b]or expression of thanks addressed to God [b]or another deity.
"I'll say a prayer for him"
synonyms: invocation, intercession, devotion, orison

According to Merriam-Webster of which year or edition?
Hope you know even dictionaries are now being updated?

Let me leave that first.

So you think because Yahweh said you should ask wherever you want in his name and he will answer, it is a blank ticket for you to just do what you want and ask what you want abi?

Abi because we have a few righteous people that genuinely pray that means God will bless and make Nigeria good despite the millions of evil people doing bad abi?

Prayer has rules and even Yahweh has guides for our prayers to be answered;

One basic rule of Yahweh for the prayers of even his own people or nation to be answered is;

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

So if you like, many can continue in their evil ways, while few like you should continue blaming prayers and expect Yahweh to answer prayers that has not met his basic requirements.

You guys thing God is lawless right?
God has laws that he has put in place for operation in this world.
It is only the devil that has the ability to be lawless that is why some see him as being powerful.

Please I don't think this argument is goin anywhere.
I know God exist and he answers prayers.
And whatever your thoughts are is irrelevant.
I am yet to see anyone that at the point of death regretted that he lived his life believing that God existed.
But you are free to go online and do a research on "athiest that died regretting not believing that God exist"

1. That is the latest Merriam-Webster. They don't give old definitions once they update to the latest.
2. Abraham bargained with yahweh not to destroy Sodom if there are 10 righteous people. Just 10. In a whole city. So are you saying with all the thousands of churches in Nigeria, righteous people aint up to 10? Really?
By the way, why is yahweh prospering other nations and ignoring Nigeria? You seem to be dodging that question

MaxInDHouse:

So get it into your empty skull Mr Atheist that everyone around you are neighbours!

This is the only definition of neighbor I can find, unfortunately.

noun
noun: neighbor
a person living next door to or very near to the speaker or person referred to.
"our garden was the envy of the neighbours"
verb
verb: neighbor
(of a place or object) be situated next to or very near (another).
"the square neighbours the old quarter of the town"

Dear MadMax, why don't you print your own dictionary and patent it? At least you can monetize this madness of yours

"God" not god.(Please)

The heart of the King is in God's hand, meant as children of God anything we need from anyone we pray and commit it into God's hand for Him to touch there heart to grant it to us.

That doesn't mean God is going to make them to repent by force, nothing like force repentance.

You will need to be willing, you will have to decide and accept you need Him.

That's was while i said God made us in His image. So we don't like it when someone is being forced to love us. It's better the person decide to love us or atleast show willingness before we will reciprocate it back.

So in essence if the leaders show God true willingness in spirit and in truth He will definitely help through Jesus Christ name.


God help us in Jesus Christ name Amen ♥️

Do you even read this your bible youre bandying around? You forgot where yahweh was controlling the Pharaoh? Was the Pharaoh willing to allow the israelites freedom? Wasn't he compelled by yahweh? Also many kings and rulers were compelled by yahweh. What kind of christians are these that don't read their bible?

At first, You were a physician of 20yrs, now you have more experience than my biological age? Maybe in the next hour you'll claim to have practiced madness longer than Elizabeth reigned.

I may have some qualms with some people's beliefs but why on earth does a video of a woman singing cause you so much pain?

Boy, if you had any sense at all, you'd have known that dementia might create gaps but not necesarily wipe entire memory except really extreme cases.
And While you were busy reading finess and labia from opera news and linda ikeji blog, some of us actually handled aged folks/patients so we can relate to the post.
They may forget their kids name sometimes or try to get ready for the school bus. They don't feel comfortable in strange places and would make multiple attempts to escape to their own homes but most certainly they don't need your indian movies to teach them how to sing songs that they used to love singing.

By your answers you're obviously in your teenage years, thus I said my experience years is older than you.
Dementia can cause total loss of both short and long term memory. You and I don't know the extent of the dementia in this index case but the point I'm trying to prove is her 'praising god' is a symptom of dementia called echopraxia and echolalia. She doesn't understand what she's doing. The import is lost on her. Its not a supernatural induction by any stretch of the imagination.
And no I'm not pained. I don't know the woman and I don't give a fvckk about her. Im just a random doctor trying to correct ignorant fools like you, which are pests in the online world.
Thank you

Only if you can find my first post on this subject will you understand my point.

1. What is prayer?
2. Are you trying to tell me a request by Satanist to satan is not prayer because satan is not God?

Please look up the meaning of the word prayer?

But for the sake of others:

Do Buddhists pray?

Buddhists don't pray to a Creator God, but they do have devotional meditation practices which could be compared to praying. Radiating loving-kindness to all living beings is a practice which is believed to benefit those beings.

I wonder when you guys will understand that there is nothing different or special by the fact that Nigerians pray.
And that we are not backward because we pray, we are backward because almost all of us are evil, wicked, selfish, etc (if you doubt my stand, go to politics section and see what human beings are saying in support of our bad leaders)
In China if you do something wrong and seriously illegal you are sentence to death no matter who you are.
Almost everyone prays, we all just do it differently.

According to Merriam-Webster, this is the definition of prayer.

1
a
(1)
: an address (such as a petition) to God or a god in word or thought
said a prayer for the success of the voyage
(2)
: a set order of words used in praying
b
: an earnest request or wish
2
: the act or practice of praying to God or a god
kneeling in prayer
3
: a religious service consisting chiefly of prayers —often used in plural
4
: something prayed for
5
: a slight chance

So my dear bro, where does your meditation suddenly become a prayer? I hope you aren't like a certain fruitcake known as MadMax that pulls out wild definitions from his ever resourceful anal orifice.

I know we are backwards due to corruption. My point is why can't yahweh fix the nation despite the corruption, despite the fact 'true christians' still pray to him. Remember it is written that we can ask and it shall be granted, and similar verses in the holy storybook

olaeffect:
Please always look up definition of words before you pick up arguments.

You are yet to finish with the word "prayers" you want to jump to "meditation"🙄

Bro, Buddhist monks don't pray cos Buddhaism is non-theist. They don't have a god

My God is not written with small letter g, please it is written with capital letter G, "God"
Thanks for understanding.

There's nothing too hard at all for God to do, and the heart of the king is in God's hands, yes and that's the reality.

See if only the leaders will be willing for God to change there heart.

Everything is willingness.

If you as a human being haven't made up ur mind to be better or change from bad to good, no matter what, no force will change you.

You will have to come out willingly.

Beside the Bible made a room for repentance and is waiting for this souls to come to Him, God has given them chance of repentance through them coming to Him, but they are not willing to free up.

Remember we were made in nature of God.

And the Bible said if we can acknowledge our sin, there should be a part they will need to play for God to penetrate there heart.

Acknowledging they have been hardened and willing to change.

Then God will be just and faithful to forgive and deliver.

Remember God said, come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,and i will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for i am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Mathew 11:28-30

So all they need is accepting Jesus Christ
And believing that He is the solution
And willing to accept for God to change them from bad to good, Remember He said they should learn of Him. So when they are willing Change will definitely happen.

Remember it can not just happen, they will need to be willing and learning of God.

God bless us all♥️

What are you driveling about?
So its no more 'the heart of the king is in gods hand'? You need the king to change his mind? What happened in the bible? Did Pharaoh change his mind? Didn’t your yahweh fvck him up for being stubborn(in fact it was yahweh that hardened his mind)

TheOgaBoss:
western media and propaganda has so much twisted ur mentality that u now see the abnormal and absord as normal. I guess u will also say that now that are pushing hard to make people accept this gender neutral shit and non binary nonsense that a girl who is biologically born as a girl can identify as male and people should not oppose it even though it is against the natural order.

Can you define natural order?
Have you heard about genital ambiguity

I'm reiterating the core messages of the Holy Bible - the word of GOD:

"While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." - Hebrews 3:15

"The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy." - Psalm 145:8

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." - Psalm 51:17

GOD must righteously judge sin, but has mercifully provided a way of escape (John 3:16, Acts 4:12)

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." - Hebrews 10:31

Dude, how e dey do you? I asked you a question because of some daft verses. And you ignore the question, and dropped more dafter verses on me

Komu1048:
How will u say they didn't affect me in anyway, don't they go to school n other gathering. Don't they recruit young people into their devilish thing. They don't try to force their stupid ideology on me like they've successfully done to you?

Listen s/he I don't care about white and their idea or whatever they want to do with their lives or what they considered appropriate.

But here in Africa, all this LGTQ etc are unacceptable and that's it. It's irritating to imagine.

Yorubas said “if one family is eating cockroach n u keep quite when their stomach start purging u won't be able to sleep at night”

They deserve to be punished and banned from any sensible society.

Bro, Africa is a hotbed of homosexuality. Its unfortunate Africans are ignorant of their history. And nobody is forcing your kids to be gay, they are just making them not to be homophobic. My kids can go to schools with gay literature as long as nobody gropes them. Get this into your head.
About that Yoruba adage, that's daft. I wonder how my neighbors purging affects me.

1. Is Nigeria officially an Islamic nation?
But hope you know the meaning of OIC?
So China being officially being an athletic nation, does that nagate the fact that China alone has more than 250m budist?

Please what is the population of Christians and Muslims put together in Nigeria again?

2. Let me say what I know as a Christian John 9:31
If God is not answering the prayers of Nigerians we should check ourselves.

We practiced traditional religion and made a mess of it.
We are still messing up the same Christianity that made the western world what they are today and we are still messing it up.

And instead of us to change our evil ways, a pocket few like you prefer to venture into some new age rubbish so that you can mess that up again by your black wicked mentality 😁

1. First things first, buddhism is a non-theist religion, meaning they don't believe in any god. Consequently they don't pray for any gods for favors. So those 250m monks aren't banging themselves up to no god, they just live holy lives. Their country is working purely on brain work.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheistic_religion

2. Nigeria is officially a secular state though there is roughly equal christians and muslims(with the muslims having a fractional edge). I don't know what you want to do with this info.

3. Please how did christianity make the western world what they are now? Why aren't they falling apart now they are getting more 'irreligious' but instead Nigeria is getting more religious but poorer by the day. Even if the religious folks are hypocrites or 'doing it wrong', at least there are righteous people. So why don't yahweh spare the country on the behalf of the 0.01% righteous like he did in the bible. Why is yahweh suddenly quiet since the bible times?

Also consider this re: the ungodly...

"They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors."

GOD is mercifully patient...

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." - Matthew 5:44-45

Dliespeaker obviously hasn't read this Matthew 5:44 cos that nigga is always cussing out atheists and anybody that doesn't agree with him.
By the way, are you saying yahweh wants us sinners to be prospering while he watches on helplessly?

No dear, nothing is too difficult for God to do. He can do all things cos it's His breathe you and I breath.

God has given everyone of us free will to do whatever we want. God won't change anyone unless u really wanna change. It's not God's duty to change d heart of any corrupt leader. He will only intervene when u are really willing to change.
All in all, there's a God.

Have a good evening!

Remember Pharoah in the bible? Was he willing to be changed? In fact, yahweh was so 'strong' he was hardening that Pharoah's heart so he can Bleep him up?
Now who is ordinary Bubu, that he can't change?

Also remember this

Proverbs 21:1 – “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.”

What countries don't pray please?

Because we have now come to know that Chinese monks do nothing but pray, while Chinese films all these years make ignoramus believe that all monks do is fight🤣🤣🤣🤣

1. Lets assume Chinese monks pray to Buddha. So you mean Buddha is a more powerful god than Yahweh, since he answers the Chinese prayers, and the christian yahweh watches on while Nigeria self destructs?

The truth is this, Nigerians have already corrupt leaders, and instead of it to be better, we are becoming a pain to the ass to each other, Nigerians don't have love because of there harsh upbringing, and the betrayal they give themselves. It aren't better any where though, but Nigerians own is obvious because of there leaders. Do not blame it on God please. If Nigeria will leave corruption and there leaders will face that which is true, we will atleast be better. Instead we are busy duplicating other countries in a wrong way. How i wish we will duplicate good leadership even as individuals. Change in a country starts with you and I, and love starts with you and I.

When we deal with ourselves first to be better, then the country will be better.

Then personally i tried telling you that God answers prayer through Jesus Christ name. Depending on you if you are willing to know Jesus Christ name.♥️

Answer this question… Is there anything that is too hard for your god? Because from what I see, since I was born, we have been praying for this country, but instead of stuff getting better, its heading the other way fast. You guys even tell us, the heart of the king is in gods hand, so what is difficult in your god charging the heart of these corrupt leaders you noted? Is it beyond your god?

Doctor?? u saying pple with dementia forget everything they've ever known??

Depending on the type and stage of the dementia, yes, one can have total memory loss, both pro-and retroactive memory. And causes range from Alzheimer's disease to Parkinson's disease. That woman looks like she's in her 80s, so more likely late stage dementia is evidenced. Some even forget their names and how to do basic tasks like dress themselves

OLAADEGBU:
You don't believe and yet you quote it, why do you expect me to waste my time and in the process annoy you on what you don't believe to start with?

I quoted it because you lied that your yahweh doesn't need to prove himself to anyone. So I had to show you one of the verses he went on a challenge initiated by a competitor to prove himself
So stop beating around the bush and take your L in peace.
Whether I believe it or not is irrelevant
