So yesterday I watched a movie on a friend's laptop.

The movie was wack but the quality of the picture was excellent....like super HD
Very very clear and beautiful.

Plz can someone show me a site where I can download movies with such quality.
The size of movies no be my problem, as long as it is crystal clear HD I will download it.

I'm tired of using fzmovie.
That site is whack and rubbish and the quality of their movies looks poor.

Na poor man website be that for those who can't afford spending 1GB on one movie

Then you missed the ultimate point of my missive...which, while defending religion...also points out the fact that development is based on a lot of other factors.



50-80 years ago, these countries were developed...and also very religious. Infact, many of these countries were religious during the industrial revolution.

Gay rights is a recent phenonenom. (Many European countries only got gay rights when they were long developed. Heck, Japan had gay rights in the 1950's...Europe has caught up in the 1990's. UK got there in 1968 ).



Again these are recent trends. Plus...Christianity was growing too...from 5% in 1962 TO 27 percent today.

Besides, the South's development has a lot to do with lack of natural resources and defensive purposes, plus a Confucian influenced ethos regarding education.




And then there is the US which has a high proportion of religious people.In Africa , we have South Africa that is very developed...and has high proprtions of religousity even among the white people

And throughout the Industrial revolution, most European countries were religious. Many inventors of the stuff you use were religious (Faraday who made inventions that advanced electricity was religious. As was they guy who developed anesthesia)

But to me, a country's development is not based on religion or lack of it...it is based on whether a country is willing to work hard for it. Here in Nigeria, we are poor and underdeveloped because most people have a daily bread mentality which prevents long term thinking. Many European countries are developed because they lacked enough natural resources....and had harsh climates...which meant you had to adapt or not survive (That's why they developed the theory of evolution over there...heheheh...too much adapting!). IN Nigeria, we think that we have lotsa natural resources that we can sell for money, and use to import stuff we can enjoy life with...and that makes things harder for us.


If Nigeria wants to develop,we have to work hard for it. But in a country where people somehow expect us to magically have everything the developed countries have because...we has oil..which isn't even earning us enough cash anymore.....we have a long way to go. Atheism won't change much if we adopted it.

theoldpretender:
Yes, China is developed but...

1.China has a lot of poor people, and poverty is rampant. Some areas look like they are very poor.

2.China has a culture of valuing education...but that is due to a guy called Confucius. Confucius was a religious leader who among many other things taught Chinese that education was very valuable.

3.China's education system is a strict meritocracy. (Because when your school going population is in the hundreds of millions...you have no choice).

4.China has very limited natural resources. So it is either you industrialise or forget it.

5.Under the atheistic Chairman Mao, China was severely underdeveloped due to a combination of very bad economic practices, and something called the Cultural Revolution. Why they are developed now has something to do with 'capitalisim'.

6.Nigeria is not developed for the simple reasons that Nigerians have this idea of sourcing for their daily bread...which renders us incapable of long term planning.Also the fact that we have natural resources has rendered us lazy.

7. To all those atheists out there...Vietnam is an anteistic nation...yet is poor. As is North Korea...whose budget is not up to one quarter of the deeply religious and sometimes conservative South Korea.

From a medium sized church indeed.

alBHAGDADI:
You mean you expect the church to survive with that dirty 100 Naira note which you squeeze into the offering plate once in 5 months?

Itzneowizy:
Widow s...5.5/10 ...WTF!!!......Tis high time i heed the warnings of peeps regarding certain movies... Even if its subjective.....

This movie is just about average iff not below....Very weak plot, the Heist was also crappy...nd too cheesy.....even the poor attempt at a plot twist was all the more annoying...

alBHAGDADI:
@OP

Will still gladly come to church i.e the gathering of the brethren, if such a gathering has no chairs?

What if it has no roof and you are to get beaten by that hot 11am Sunday morning sun, or when it suddenly starts raining?

What if you are unable to hear the pastor's voice due to no electricity to power the microphone becase NEPA has disconnected the church for failing to pay bills?

What if the pastor fails to show up because his place of work where he sort sollace to make ends meet transferred him to Abuja on a weekend mission?

Keep that money to yourself if you don't want to praise God with it. But know that God is raising men who will obey his commandments.

Was hereditary good?

I only compared the two movies.

You said Velvet b is creepy i agree, but that's some people were trying about hereditary but Velvet buzzsaw beats it hands down.

alexistaiwo:
Nobody is over hyping anything.
The horror isn't great (this is debatable by the way) but it is justified.



It is different from most conventional horror movies which makes it difficult to relate with where the supernatural force venom is coming from.


The guy left one simple instruction, just one simple instruction!

Velvet_Buzzsaw is a masterpiece

JeromeBlack:
Velvet Buzzsaw. 6.5/10

Creepy horror movie. Not scary but creepy. Funny enough, I was more interested in the art dialogue .....................

oyetpel:
Velvet Buzzsaw is the horror that hereditary wanted to be, but fell short.

Your questions are really one question, in my thinking: why is there pain and suffering in this life if God is just and has a plan?

But I will take them separately for simplicity.




His plan for them - as for everybody else - is for them to be saved from Eternal Condemnation and live with Him free of all kinds of pain and sorrow and regret throughout eternity. That is always back of everything that God either ordains or permits in this life.




First, God is God and is thus not subject to any questioning. That is, it is folly to imagine that God is responsible to anyone at all. What He does is entirely as He pleases. So, it is wrongheaded to call Him on the carpet. A failure to accept this will simply make it impossible for the person asking questions to even begin to comprehend God's Wisdom in all that He does.

Second, this life is really just one very large question for each individual: will you trust God and submit to His Authority confident that He does all things well? Or will you consider yourself wiser than Him and reject His Authority confident that you can do better than He? All of our experiences are designed to give us an opportunity to answer this question. So, even though God does not want us to suffer as we do, He does permit it so that we can have a real chance at deciding whether we trust Him or not. Without a real opportunity to doubt His Ability and Character, we cannot really willingly choose to trust Him.

Third, part of the configuration of the circumstances that allow us to make a choice about God is the choices that other people make about Him. Wicked people exist who are choosing to reject God's Authority and who demonstrate that choice by hurting other people. Short of removing their right to choose, it is not possible to remove the role that they play in creating the circumstances which allow their victims to make their own choices. So, although it is no fault of the children's that they were born into homes like that, it is still an opportunity both for them and for their parents to demonstrate their choices about God.

Fourth and finally, this life is painful, yes, and regrettably so. But it was not meant to be that way. It only became that way because of #3 above. If creatures had not chosen to rebel against God at all, there would have been no evil whatsoever in the whole Creation. But they did and now everybody is touched in some way by it. But God allows it to give everybody a fair chance to choose the eternal destiny they want. In the end, all those who choose to trust Him will find that all the pains of this life will disappear and be replaced by only joy, only peace, only perfect happiness. Things must be this way for now but they will not be so forever.




There really is only ever one thing to say, no matter who the audience may be: we are all sinners deserving of far worse than this world is able to throw at us. For even the least sin, the Lake of Fire is a devastating answer. But we don't have to pay for any of our sins anymore. We can look forward to an eternity completely free from all the terrible pains of this life and the incredible agony of the Lake of Fire if we choose to trust God and walk with Him no matter what.

Life is painful, no matter where we are and what we are doing. There is always something that hurts in a way that can make us call God on the carpet. But if we are honest, God is never to blame. He didn't have to create anybody. His doing so was His Pleasure. We owe Him our very existence whatever it may be. If our life is painful, He promises that if we trust Him now, He can show us a peace and a joy that cannot be touched by our circumstances and experience right now in this life. And after this life, He guarantees that we will never again have any experience like what we suffer through in this life.

This is not merely a fair deal. It is incredibly generous since it was our own rebellion that produced the pain of this life. If we say that we committed no sin to merit being born into such wicked families as your friend was, we must also remember that your friend could only be born if that family existed. As such, even though he was not suffering for something he did, being born there was his opportunity to demonstrate whether he thinks God is worth anything to him. That opportunity had incredible eternal rewards attached to it. Every labor is painful but the payout is what makes it sweet. God is always good to us even in giving us a chance to prove what we are worthy to receive in eternity.

alexistaiwo:
If you know what I did as payback to the fuul that recommended this trash to me

krattoss:
seconded
Missed the days of Van Helsing, resident evil, etc.

mekaprime:
The one of 2004. The one were he accidentally leads his team into a trap from which he was the only survivor.

alexistaiwo:
Have any of you seen this trash called "Yakuza Vampire"?



The movie is a disgrace to all vampire themed movies and TV shows worldwide

mekaprime:
NEW POLICE STORY.. 7.5/10
GENRE:Action, Crime, Drama
LANGUAGE: Chinese

Another spectacular movie from Jackie Chan, his performances were absolutely phenomenal, the dude is really a legend, because it takes courage to perform all the stunts he did in the movie and i really honour him for that.

The movie had a fairly original content, with a harsh and hardcore thrilling effect that leaves one with an overload of violent shootouts, dazzling stunts and relentless executions.

AHCB:
that during the beginning of the war. Have you seen the tuskegee airmen or red tails?
