Why are you angry? Or do you belong to the angry category of atheists? Don't worry I'll pray for you tonight for God to heal your heart.

Yeah. I know all these tactics.
Ask a theist to show prove of god and he says you're angry or he gets angry and threatens you with hell. It's getting so boring

Dtruthspeaker:
Lies! God lovers live a very good filled and sweetly rewarding living which makes the whole world hate them.

Judging by your deposition, Africans (and Nigerians in particular) live better lives than the ungodly Europeans and Americans.
Lol
Abeg which country una dey run go dey find good life?

immortalmortal:
this is one of the most senseless post on nairaland. Everyone knows man made phones but the only thing man knows about god is what man wrote about him. Maybe gods are debating somewhere that they made man

You mean a god made man and decided to hide himself from his creation? Interesting. I thought your good book said he has revealed himself to us? Oh, by the way, we're aren't just creations. We were supposedly made in god's image. So we are not just another 'phone'

HealerH:
Atheism is a lazy man's excuse for living an immoral lifestyle.

Obviously you haven't noticed atheist countries have less crime rates than theist countries. Countries like Netherlands, New Zealand with relatively higher number of atheists have almost empty jails while less atheist countries like Nigeria, Brazil etc have overflowing jails
Abeg talk another lie, bro

Maynman:
And what has theism done in public hospitals?

The guy is a clown

OkoAmarashy:
This one wan buy spiritual encounter.
You never sabi what's up.

Go to any Surgical emergency in any Public Hospital and let's see if your atheism will survive that environment.

SMH
Im a physician and I work in emergency settings, and yes I've been atheist for years. Practicing medicine opens your eyes to the lies of religion. I have never seen a pastor/iman raise the dead or even heal any patient
So talk another lie, good brother

delpee:
Still by God's grace. Many don't succeed with IVF.

Congrats to the couple.

Yes, IVF isn't even 99%. But it's improving gradually.
If its god’s Grace, he won't allow them to spend millions on the IVF, he would have done it free, isn't it?

IVF doing wonders
Instead of these guys to thank the scientists, they're here thanking a God that is nowhere to be found in 19 years

Righthussle:
I dey tell you. Christain God wey no save the many worshippers in Owo come decide to save OP from car accident. Their God love am no be small.

Instead of the guy to thank the scientists that developed airbags, he's here spewing trash about thanking God. Theists are just arrogant peeps. What makes you think the same God that was watching the Holocaust that killed millions of Jews(his beloved people) would save a single dude, much less a sinful Nigerian?
That airbag is your savior. I can see it in the picture shown there. Gently remove it and display it in your house

Wilgrea7:
You've failed to answer my questions. I take it that you do not know the answers then

U actually expect a Christian to answer this question? Lol. Forget it. Those dimwits lost their thinking faculties

These pictures don't suggest anything. Especially the 'healed' cleft palate. They don't even seem to be the same people
Why don't they get medical certificates of the patients before the 'healings'

Bacteriologist:
Having observed a lot of ignorant definition of Atheism and Atheists from Theists, I find it will be of great help to aid everyone in understanding what Atheism really means.

Let's start with what Atheism is not:

First, Atheism is NOT a religion. Religion is the belief in or worship of a supernatural/higher power. Which is exactly what atheists NEVER do. So, dear theists, again, Atheism is not a religion.

Atheism is NOT a belief. Atheism is a complete, total and absolute LACK OF BELIEF in all gods, goddesses and deities. Atheism is a rejection of belief and so therefore does not, in itself, require belief or faith as that would be illogical. You do not believe that Unicorns or leprechauns exist, do you? That's exactly how Atheism is, too.

Atheism DOES NOT offer explanation for the origin of the world. Being an atheist DOES NOT mean that one automatically accepts the big bang theory, or big crunch or "something from nothing." Some Atheists believe in the big bang while some others simply state that "We do not know YET how the universe came to be." Which seems to be pretty honest since no one knows for sure how the Universe started. So, beloved theists, Atheism is a total rejection of the belief that any god exists.

Atheism is NOT satanism: Rejection of belief in a supernatural god also includes rejection of belief in a supernatural devil. Get it, theists? God does not exist, same applies to Satan. We're not Satanists, we're atheists.

LASTLY, Satan is NOT an atheist: Satan is a fictitious deity who by definition has been "god's friend" according to most religion. So, literally, Satan is a theist and it makes it really stupid to say Satan does not believe God exists.


So there, Theists, is what you need to stop making up ridiculous conclusions about Atheists and atheism in general every now and then.

Atheists feel free to add other hasty generalisations about Atheism from theists that are often false.

I wish I can hug u from the internet. Theists are a different brand of stupid and ignorant. And when you correct them, they still insist on calling you Satanist

FOLYKAZE:
Madam, apologise I have to chip in, but that line of thought exposes is flawed and exposes the unseriousness of folks like you who disbelieve and wanted to challenge.

Here is a video on YouTube https://youtube.com/watch?v=PZmdHyar4i8 posted on BBC channel. The video is about a popular rainmaker in southern Nigeria who claimed he can make it rain or stop raining. The Dibia name is Priest Godwin Onasedu, lives in the remote settlement called Ifitedunu in Donukofa LGA, Anambra state.

BBC Correspondent, Nduka Orjinmo, in an attempt to investigate the Dibia claim, he sent a request to the HQ in London, the proposal was duly approved, financed and support team like cameramen sent down. He didn't sit down in his parlour babbling like Kingxsamz is doing on here but transported down Ifitedunu, a 30 mins drive from Awka. He and his crew prepared the prerequisite materials needed for the ritual also. And he duly confirmed that it indeed rained, approximately two hours after tbe ritual.

Nduka, unlike you did not cough lame excuses. He needed the truth and went hunting it down. He didn't sit in the corner of his ro expecting magics been performed right before him. He isn't a coward, charlatan, lousy slowpoke who wants to dictate and order people around like we are his toy.

If you could remember, the same Video of Onsedu performance was posted on Nairaland. And you know what the conglomeration of atheists on the forum say? "The Dibia should make it rain in dry season or in Arid desert". They were jumping over themselves instead of transporting down to Ifitedunu for their queries. However, these same folks went wide when a news came up about cloud seeding in the Australia. A kind of chemicals were released for plane fuel fuselage to make it rain. None of them here asked same question even when the processes of the Dibia and the modern techniques employed by scientist in Australia is the same. Dibia was simply releasing some chemicals into the atmosphere and he is doing this simply by burning some herbs. The whitees however are deploying Airplanes to spread their chemicals. What is the magic?

So you see, nobody is going to take folks who make same line of argument like you serious. And if baseless arguments is all you are in for, you can have the whole space.

Vincentjk dude, Please ignore these folks. They are hypocrites and as slickers who embraces foreign ideologies just to appear brilliant, yet with all their rants and silly tantrums on cyberspace, I have seen nothing they've achieved as Nigeria is concerned. You could just do yourself a favor and ignore them.

Google cloud seeding. That's what the old nigga did.
What the daft BBC crew would have done is go during the middle of dry season and take the old man away from his apparati and make sure no rain forecast for that day. Also 2 hours is a long time. If it wanted him to disrupt an occasion and he takes 2 hours or so then its not legit. The occasion would have been over in 2 hours. Besides the BBC crew would have told him to stop the rain if he indeed started it[and he claimed he can do also stop rains)
The method of certification doesn't have to be in your comfort zone. Scientific experiments turn out right irrespective of where it is conducted, whatever time, and by whoever person
Simples

Please, its called 'lending' not 'borrowing'. Op, lent her money. I see our English is so poor in this country

I don't understand. Are you saying Russia is doing god's work?

PlayerMeji:
Oga, go and sit down!

We are done hearing anti-God lessons from people who want to sound 'woke' by claiming to be atheist.

Even George Carlin had a better set that you do here...

We are talking about someone who was unlucky to be killed and dismembered and all you can think of is a lifeless god

The difference between wisdom and knowledge is only one of them knows when to talk

I know you have problem with reading. But he was responding to our serial bible thumper. Try to read properly

This is an example of the Greater Fool concept he painted of crypto. Someone is stupid enough to throw away good money to dine with him, when the money can fetch some good investments elsewhere

Prayfortheworld:
Lol I'm not new but this year own shock me
I don loose pass Nigeria
Imagine seeing your 28k turn 300 dollars e pain pass death
Alt coins na just new scam

Depends on the alt. It's either shitcoin, memecoin or defi tokens. None is to be held long term, except u r farming

Prayfortheworld:
Going to 6k will take BTC years to get to 65k again
Anyways it Will be a good start for many

It won't take years, bro. Institutional money can gobble up that dip in days

Prayfortheworld:
That signal and support na rubbish bitcoin can never in this life go back to 6k or 10k
If it do then they have hacked bitcoin and that's the end of crypto

Looks like you're new in crypto. Anything can happen, bro. And you have to be prepared all the time

Its only when crypto dumps you see all these kinda topics and ignorant posts. When btc and other crypto pumps, nobody hears anything from nairaland and other mainstream media. Total silence. Even when major companies adopt crypto, especially when Coca Cola adopted Ethereum, no mainstream reported it. Now that the global economic recession has affected everything, including crypto, u see all sorts of ignoramuses voicing rubbish. Even now in crypto, some peeps are making money in this bear period. By the way, the global stocks market tanked 100+ tr and nairaland has been pretty silent about it, but everyone and his dog is convulsing now crypto dumped 1 tr. Una no dey rest?

It is sad that you couldn't defend crypto vigorously as those MMM guys. Rookie attempt.

They both operate under the "Greater fool" principle.

And sadder you cannot counter any of the points I raised. Poor you

wirinet:
Quit getting emotional.
I never said you cannot conduct business with bitcoin. I said it is not advisable to conduct business with bitcoin and I stated my reasons. If you buy an item in bitcoin last month to sell in the open market. By this month as bitcoin had lost more than 30% of its value, so if you sell to you customers (most likely in fiat), you will lose. The reverse can be the case and your will gain tremendously. I am say you as a businessman should not be doing business using bitcoin. Amazon is big enough to withstand any shock in bitcoin, an average businessman cannot.

I'm not getting emotional. Im just educating you. Doing business with btc is different from investing in btc. If I do business with btc what I mean is I collect btc from a customer and peg it via a stable. Investing means buying and hodling which is what you r suggesting. Get me?
Amazon doesn't actually store btc. It gets remittance from bitpay via USD. Bitpay handles any crypto transactions on behalf of Amazon

wirinet:
You are right in all your submissions, the only flaw with bitcoin is its volatility. It's just too volatile for legitimate business transactions. If you buy a product using bitcoin today, by tomorrow the value might have fallen below the price you bought it, even before you make provisions for profit of the item you intend to sell. It's impossible to make business projections and decisions with bitcoin as your currency.
Same with investments. You cannot use bitcoin as an asset holding instrument . Its like a gamble. It could double the following year or it could half. That's why big institutions hold their assets in fiat currencies particularly the dollar. Others including countries hold their assets in gold as gold is seen as very stable in value.

These is the problem stable currencies tied to the dollar is supposed to solve. It does not suffer the volatility of bitcoin and cryptos in general. I would advice if you want to do legitimate business with cryptos, you should switch to stable coins.

Wetin dis one dey talk, say its impossible to conduct business with bitcoin? Amazon accepts crypto via Bitpay, and u run here talking rubbish. Why not investigate

Toks2008:
140 smooth moving average.

Actually, a 200 week moving average is a better indicator, IMO

Hotice085:
.


Na paper money being printed by government and their cabals nia him get value abi?

You have inflation, Rising interest rate, Rising fuel, oil and gas price, recession, global supply problem, War, famine etc
and the only shit you can utter is Crypto na SCAM

Men you are a nothing but a complete
village Palm wine tapper looking for cheap fame

Bros, a lot of crypto ignorant peeps full this nairaland. It's so funny

MarketDispatch:
Yes they are scams. You put in cold hard cash, computer program parameters goes up a little to show green that you are making money, you then broadcast and call in more people who put in cold hard cash, computer program parameters go up a little to show more green that people are making money, more broadcast for more people who put in more cold hard cash, then the programmer sets the computer program parameters on any flimsy news to start going against everyone that put in money, showing red, and wiping off their cold hard cash.

Easy 419, no one will call the programmer a Fraudster because people who put in money view it as market going down or dipping but no one bothers to check the bank account of the programmer (to know where the money disappeared to)

Lol. I had heard lots of FUD, but brother, this one takes the FUD crown
1. Please who is the programmer you're referring to? You?
2. So u call stocks and shares scams too? Interesting
Please answer these questions, if u can't, hire your FUD brothers here to chip in their FUD theories , lets be merry

People get involved in games they don't understand. They get lucky and turn to braggarts. Crypto went from $3trillion capitalization down to $1 trillion. It gets worse. Celsius may be insolvent which means kiss your money good bye. Binance won't let people withdraw their remaining funds. Sound like MMM right? Oh well...

Now what's a smart thing to do? Start building long positions for a bounce as Shorts cover.

/

Im tired of correcting lies like this
1. Crypto never got up to 3tr, sir. Highest it got was 2.1 or 2 tr
2. Yes, Celsius is insolvent but it market cap constitutes a tiny fraction of the whole crypto market cap, so the effect isn't felt by many
3. Bros, Binance allows fund withdrawal. It just stated that withdrawal in Ethereum chain USDT was paused cos of backlog, and transactions were moving slowly, but withdrawal via other chains like BSC, Fantom, Polygon, Tezos etc were all good. So all one has is to withdraw via those chains and even pay a less transaction fee cos Ethereum chain has high gas costs like $2.5 and those other chains are cheap like $0.01 or so
4. And please how does the current global economic crisis sound like MMM?
Una go just wake up, spin one tale, begin spread FUD

Vaughanlanrewaj:
It seems pointless explaining this kind of untruthful comparison but let me try .

when I buy stocks of Dangote cement, Dangote cement uses my money to produce a value called cement which it sells at a profit that people pay for to build their houses and other constructions. Dangote earns the profit and shares it as dividend.

If Dangote makes a loss, I can still hold on to my stocks of Dangote or sell to an investor willing to wait until Dangote makes a profit or until when a new owner takes the company like it happened in Dangote flour when it was bought by Olams with all its machineries and land assets etc and eventually got delisted and all the shareholders paid. The price rallied from less than N1 to over N20! That is value ! That is stocks investment and it is regulated by law.

Unlike Dangote, your cryto does not create value and earn no profit to share as dividend, you just hope that a greater fool is willing to pay more for something worthless. It is a ponzi.

This is the most illiterate and ignorant description of crypto which can only come from people that haven't studied it
1. Crypto actually creates jobs. You can freely check projects like Binance which alone employs people worldwide who work from home. Other organizations like Huobi, Kucoin etc follow
2. Crypto companies have shares like Dangote. Obviously u haven't heard of Coinbase etc that had IPOs which was regulated by SEC. Their shares were worth good money, so even when Coinbase makes losses, investors can still earn, even bigger than multinationals
3. Crypto provide value. Multicorps like Microsoft, Coca Cola, Nike etc adopt some blockchains like Ethereum etc. You probably don't know anything about blockchains, so I'll spare you some pain
4. Crypto is a store of value. People can actually buy and keep it, but unfortunately these economic times affected every financial instrument. Everyone knows there's a global crisis which was a domino effect from covid pandemic. I don't know why you didn't know before. The US Fed Reserve action is like a domino effect that caught every financial instrument, not just crypto. Inflation is on ATH in many countries and not just Nigeria, so the US is doing all they can through the Fed Reserve 0.75% increase to put more money on government coffers. So stocks etc tanked, in fact NASDAQ and SP500 lost more than 100 trillion during this time, and I didn't hear people wail. Crypto had a market cap of 2 tr and lost 1tr or so, and the whole world is shouting 'kill it, murder it's
5. I'm sure u must have somehow heard of NFTs. It's a product of crypto and many celebrities from Snoop Dogg, Serena Williams, Jay Z, Jack Dorsey etc do it. Jack Dorsey, a bitcoin maximalist added crypto as a means of payment in Twitter. Yes, check your Twitter, its there. Now Elon Musk, another crypto warlord is in the helm, we think he would use Dogecoin his pet coin
So my good brother, always research before speaking

Ballzproblemm:
a speculative asset , made valuable by bunch of gamblers. that Called themselves investors , , I no they pity anybody wey lose money ,cause the truth is that that virtual coin has no real worth

Judging by your analogy, forex, stocks etc are all scams since they have lost more money than crypto, within this same period

I have been monitoring your posts in this space. You need to see a shrink ASAP before the condition gets outta hand, seriously

AntiChristian:
It's not a gaffe. You're mistaken as you don't have the holy spirit.
