scaler345: Just follow this line of thought and follow what people will be using to justify their beliefs ......



Their Holy Book !!!! Written several centuries ago by unknown authors.

BRB!!

Mr Troll: i told you so
smdh.

Uyi Iredia: Fair enough. My answer is yes. Let's see if you can counter it well or not.

Uyi Iredia: By implication, for the time being. You can try wiggle around it as I do on issues attimes but, the fact is, if a judge releases an accussed then he is supposed innocent given the legal precedent: innocent until proven guilty. I find it irksome that atheists would dishonestly assert they have no belief, what next, not making a choice isn't a choice, right.

farous: Please posting something here is not for joke and should be taken seriously.This is something i need an advice on and some people are saying let her cut her nails,did i say he nails cuts her body,or have u seen a lady that said dat nails do cut her body?,whoever dont know what to say should simply read and past.I need serious advice and solution.

farous: My wife noticed of recent that most time when she woke up in the morning she feels a cut in her body.It looks like using razor blade or shape finger nail in cutting her body.This happened sometime ago,now it has started again.Please have anybody witnessed this,know the cause and the solution?.Thanks.

zeelo2014: clip her finger nails. That's all.

FOLYKAZE: So when it in the water, it good for me right?

Whats my problem with Michelle? This is treeback not plane

FOLYKAZE: Lol I didn't tell you if im a witch. Which kind mentality this so called educated people dey get sometime?

Epo obo is not poison. Dont be this si.... Some people put it in their jug and drink water from the jug. Nobodies die or complain after drinking the water.

FOLYKAZE: When research on brain started by the so called scientist, were human used or animal? Whats wrong with using animal? You dont even shoot any part of the body like hand or leg which will only cause injury if it failed but you like aiming head. Is that how to do research?

cola: the opinions some folks on here hold on issues, whether political, social, economic or humanitarian shall never surprise me anymore.

they even have the temerity to call others hypocrites for calling their attention to the cruelty of setting animals against one another and not caring the enormous pains they feel while you laugh and entertain yourselves!

i believe if you can tolerate this, then it will only take a little push for you to do and enjoy similar bloody harm to humans.

some of them even argued since we slaughter them for food, why not make them hurt one another and derive pleasure!

you are using a privilege and maybe a concession given you by the creators of these animals to justify your wicked pursuit of pleasure.

using your logic: since your wives go through so much bodily and bloody pain while giving birth to your children, if (God forbid) she's made to undergo similar or even less bodily pain by an overpowering aggressor, it would be hypocrisy to complain, afterall she goes through worse pain while delivering a baby

so it happens in spain and america with bulls and cocks, so what? that makes it right? pathetic!

i wish peace on whoever heeds admonition and follows sincere advice/guidance.

D sage: Which will you prefer, if you're to choose between the following;

Getting beating by kidnapper and regain your freedom or killed?

Because I don't think you know the difference between killing and hurting. You never see where wrestlers are rush to the hospital because of injury abi?

Uyi Iredia: As for the bulletproof ish I will only shoot if an affidavit is signed by the bullet-proof charm wearer that if he forfeits his life it's his fault. When you reply I will share an experience of mine.

Uyi Iredia: I think your first encounter is possibly explained by your body not used to the fruit, the reactions you describe could be a result of chemicals in the fruit.

Afam4eva: And these animals are not hurt when you slaughter them for lunch. Hypocrisy much.

Afam4eva: But it's ok to use them for sallah meat right? Why do we as human beings dwell in hypocrisy like this.

Afam4eva: I'm not really for or against it. I just happen to enjoy the sport. Maybe they should try and seek the consent of the animaals

Afam4eva: I saw this sports at the National sports festival in Ogun state a few years back and i think it's something that we must encourage. Let's create our own sporting events.

ghostofsparta: Ogbeni are we discussing firearms here? What's your point^^^?

ghostofsparta: A-Town my typings as a respond to you would be considered cheap, if you or mazaje or Billyonaire or my dear Logicboy are serious about clearing your doubt on the efficacy of Yoruba Advanced Science erroneously known as Juju...offer a wager of N100,000 and any of the following shall be demonstrated:

1. A vehicle immediately tested to be working would afterwards be rendered immovable by a YAS. African immobilizer
2. An item such a bag or a suit/briefcase would be affected with YAS such that no one including you can carry it, except for the person incantated to lift. (This particular YAS is done for peeps who sought out metaphysical means of protecting their money-filled suitcase).
3. You will see a YAS-rendered individual vanish in front of you like you have probably seen in Harry Potter cloaking or in Crysis but much more accurate.
4. You will bring forth a native fowl wherein after some rites and stuff, you will see it burned alive and at the same observe the same fowl walking towards the demonstrator from another path. Time travel stuff heh
5. You will be handed a machete to cut a meat where you shall observe the meat pierced then afterward apply the same machete on a YAS enabled individual wherein you will observe his skin impervious to the cut. Superman stuff, heh!
6. You will bring forth a goat where you will be handed a hunter or local vigilante rifle to fire an agreed upon object like a stack of bottles or water-filled keg in order to confirm the effect of the bullet impact as everyone would expected afterwards your aim is directed towards the blast-frightened goat which you are free to shoot as much as you like.

If not for your uncouthness . . .

Richbee: Recently, I've heard people use the word 'the rain is been held'. I actually do wonder, just how possible is it? I tot we were done believing 'superstitious' things but this suprisingly is still believed.

So to y'all that believes it, I'd like to ask, HOW EXACTLY IS RAIN HELD.
Is there a scientific backing to this theory?

Richbee: That's quite a tale. Tot only God had those powers. Aii

Yungwizzzy: Blind people still living in stone age

ghostofsparta: No one needs to be a marksman/sniper to shoot any sort of target, you know this for good otherwise all those homicide and college/public shooting in abroad is a lie.

You have to agree that even a sporadic spray-shot at someone would have at least one hit.

OmoUSH: The moonwalk dance first came into limeligh when Calloway performed it in 1932. That was over two and a half decade before Michael was born. So u c the dance technique has been in existence right from the early days of even his parents. The person who inspires his whole life and career, JAMES BROWN, famously used it frequently before his birth in 58. Everything is just the technique the guy has used to hype himself from the beginnin, u know, trying to make his life mysterious. And when his demise surfaced, DEATH AND THE MAVERIK CAME TO PLAY! Obviously, u can't understand my whole point. Someone just remarked now that celine Dion only sing about love. What force on earth is greater than love? With Celine Dion's songs such as Immortality, one can't help but think about life itself, love and eternity. As i said earlier, i far respect Dion more than i respect Mj. Mariah Carey is also far better than him with the most marvellous vocal range of all time! Usher Raymond has the same vocal range with Jackson, and as for me, he is my greatest singer in the history of music. Truth is old men like the late James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charlse, Little Richard and many more are his ancestors musically and entertainment in general. He even agree with this and so, i don't c any reason a mere fan wud object. Though a legend, yet, without timeless songs, while Dion has tens of eternal musics. Why wil som1 suggests that Mj spans any music genre? Does he categorically do hip hop or rap? Does he crunk? Does he do Blue-Eye Soul? U c most of u just say baseless words. Celine sings like an angel that is a chorister straight from Heaven. Carey's voice is also angelic. What if i say the teen global phenomenon, BEIBER, may far surpassed all of Mike's archeivement in coming years? Well, u might all scream me down cos he is yet a teenager. But The Biebs have already surpassed some of them. The only reason many, including me those times, conclude that his music unites the world and cut across racial barriers was because of such songs like Heal The World, Black Or White and Earth Song. Well, what song on earth that doesn't unite people. Even the total craps that our local artistes feed us here in Africa unite us together. See that?

OmoUSH: Hi peeps. Do u know as falsely claimed by millions, Michael Jackson was never the world's greatest singer? These are some reasons that should convince you.
1. Michael Jackson didn't even co-wrote most of his songs. A true musician is one that wrote and sings his songs altogether.

2. The famous dance signature, THE MOONWALK, was not invented by him in the very least. It first came to public show in the early 1930s. Infact he was the least to make it very famous. Younger dancers like Usher, Guinewine, Omarion, etc are even more creative, though he heavily influenced them. That can't be denied.

3. Most of the honours given him should have gone to...?(HOME WORK).

4. HE WAS THE MOST OVERHYPED SINGER IN HISTORY...

justcool: A better conclusion for such a person would be this: "If God does exist, He is definitely not exactly what the bible says He is."

But the fact remains that all religions and all secred books are peoples perception of God, not God Himself!
Thus if one does not agree with the biblical perception or the Koranic perception, the individual is left to seek to have his own perception of God. Out of intellectual and spiritual laziness the individual gives up the belief in God without putting it through a thorough and unbiased scrutiny. He takes the easy way out and call himself an atheist. However, he is not really an atheist! He is just opposed to certain perceptions of God.

I will give another example: After putting the theory of evolution through scrutiny, an individual gets convinced of it validity. He will not just call himself an evolutionist, rather he will go too far and declare himself an atheist. He will reason that since man evolved, the idea of creationism is wrong, and if creationism is fallacy then God's existence is fallacy too. Here he makes a terrible error in his judgement. A better judgement would be: "If God does exist then He did not create the world in six days."

I will give an analogy: If I read a book about ZIk, and the book says that ZIK could turn into an fly. As a child I might believe this story. But as an adult I will put the story into scrutiny. From my experiences as an Adult I know that it is impossible for a man to turn into a fly. This will lead me to conclude that, (1) maybe Zik does not exist, and never existed; and the whole thing is fallacy, or (2) Zik does exist or did exist, but the story that I read in the book is fallacy.

Of course the second conclusion is a more intelligent conclusion, especially when I have other evidences that zik existed, IE works that Zik produced when he was alive. The fact that a description of a thing does not accord to reality does not mean that that thing never existed or does not exist.

Thus one should not stop the investigation and just call himself an atheist, just because the stories he read about God are myths. The right thing would be to seek a personal experience with this God. To look around and see if there is any evidence that God does exist. If one looks around and finds none, then such a person is a true atheist.

But if one looks around, one will find the world, plants, man, mountains, stars etc. Then one would ask oneself: "what is the origin of all these things around me? From whence did all these things proceed?" Many answers would come to mind--evolution, the big bang. Then another question: What caused evolution? From whence did evolution drive its power? What caused the big bag? From whence did the power that caused the big bang came? This power that still sustains everything. This power in every plant, every mountain, everything.

Perharps one may not be able to answere this question, but he definitely acknowledges that their is a power that animates all. But what is this power? Tell me has this seeker not found God?

Thus anybody that arrives at this conclusion should not call himself an atheist. He acknowledges that God exist, wheather he calls God a power or wheather he call Him God or Allah. What difference does it make? But one thing is certain, he[b] has seen the evidence of the existence of God.[/b]

Thus the only true atheist is one who believes that the universe, plants, trees, man(including himself), and etc does not exist.

To acknowledge that life (including yourself and everything in the universe) exists, and to see the power that sustains it, and yet still say that God does not exist; It's like seeing a painting hanging on the wall, and yet say that the painting has no painter.

The existence of the universe is enough evidence that the universe has beginning, an external force that keeps it in motion, that keeps it animated, that fuels it -- its creator! This is not just a conclusion, this is also scientific.

However one chooses to imagine this force, power, power of the creator or the creator is his/her personal business.
