Explain sleep paralysis

An2elect2:
The reason you explain everything you dont understand away is because of fear. Be man enough to agree that there are realities you cannot grasp.

Quit telling yourselves lies.

Hahahahaha fear? i am not the one afraid of ordinary sleep paralysis here am i?

This is one of the joys and peace of shedding off these demeaning superstitions, you stop being afraid of imaginary things

I've not finished being afraid of real things, i am to add imaginary things to the list? No thank you enjoy it that is your mess not mine ..

Now do yourself a favour and stop being afraid of Sleep paralysis

CoolUsername:
Most likely sleep paralysis.

An2elect2:
What do you expect from a blind man

Hahahahahaha Africans ... I think you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking SLEEP PARALYSIS is something out of the world...

In this age of Information, Ignorance is a choice... The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance rather is the illusion of knowledge..

Carry on with your seeing eyes madam, enjoy it while it lasts we understand

Speechless3:
Even with her eyes wide open

An2elect2:
Smh for you. Thank God i know better today. Else i would have been saying this rubbish

Yes Thank God because it is the reason you have such superstitious mindset and cling to it even in the face of the truth.

People will run away from the truth because they don't want their imaginary lazy fantasies destroyed by it..

Have fun with it

GeneralShepherd:
For example, my father was telling me [size=20] that one the key evidence for God is that the earth was perfectly designed.[/size] He went forward to reiterate that the universe in all its complexity could not have
Originated without an intelligent designer. He also remind me that something cannot come out of nothing.

My father's argument is a theist argument I know so well, I used to hold tenaciously to it as well when I was on the other side of the fence.

The reality is that this argument is not enough, for a God to create a complex universe, His mind will have to be more complex than the universe, his powers infinitely greater than the vastness of the universe.

Now if this is true, then this God must have been created by a more complex, super God who in turn must be created by another God of increased complexity. This will lead to an infinite loop. For this loop to end, one entity in the loop must be exist without creation.

If a God that is super complex can exist without creation, why can't the universe exist without a creator?

-Volcanoes

-Earth quakes

-Meteor showers

-Tornadoes

-Hurricanes

-Cancer

Millions of them are design? Neil Degress Tyson refer to that argument as "Stupi_d Design argument"

the earth is perfect indeed

Something similar has happened to me too. Almost died on my bed 4yrs ago, was partially awake when i got attacked by a force. It tried to draw my breath away, i struggled hard but no way. I was a gonner until i heard an unfamiliar, very gentle and low voice but yet audible enough. It called my name twice...the second time it called, i regained my freedom. I woke up fully panting for air..

When this happened, it was so real but sooner than i expected doubt cropped in and i was glad to dismiss it as mere hallucination. Itwas easier that way i thought.

Four months later i got born again. From that period till today, i experience several spiritual attacks with my eyes wide open.

rahymat:
its not an hallucination at all because im mostly aware of wat is happening in my surroundings wen asleep.
even wen they brought lite i heard d sound of d fan from my sleep nd it woke me up.the sound i heard yesterday was comin from dad's room callin my name nd it woke me up.

Amberon:
Atheists are the most foolish, ignorant, deluded people.

per the bolded, there's also no mars because you haven't been there before. should we now say you're foolish for believing what the scientists said? [/b]

ottersberger:
Is it Ibo or Igbo?

jcross19:
brother I know you don't believe in spirit or supernatural and that does not mean they don't exist if you doubt supernatural force ,PLEASE TAKE A BELL GO TO BURIAL GROUND BY 1 a.m , ring the bell three times and see wonders what you see convince you that there is super power somewhere. You are Just talking nonsense. White guys say what you want to hear.

KingEbukasBlog:
No No . The new research is refuting the other or previous researches made

KingEbukasBlog:
I read that article the first day I saw it - 2 days ago . Its not by any religious organisation so its the plain truth , no bias or predilection .

I am still shocked and I want to know sukkot 's view on this

Lmao... Quite funny!!!

You read the article but didn't understand it or what.... here from the article

It follows research last year, which found that Earth may be one of the first habitable planets in the universe.

Scientists believe when the solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago, [color=#000066]only eight per cent of the potentially habitable worlds that are destined to exist had formed.[/color]

And the vast majority of planets are yet to be born and may not appear until after our sun burns itself out in another six billion years.

You see? all you needed was simply understand what you read..

The red letters shows Earth may be One of the first habitable planetS not the only one but One of..

second coloured words suggest 8% of potentially habitable planets had formed by 4.6 billion years ago and this 8% derived out of all the planets in the universe amounts to trillions.

So the article even affirmed that earth is not the only habitable planet in the universe contrary to your claim that the earth is the only habitable planet..

This is quite a funny one

stainlex:
Touché.
Saw it immediately I posted mine and I was happy that the statement had piqued someone else's interest. Let's wait and see sha.

KingEbukasBlog:
The news is all over the internet - science blogs , news websites . Like I said its 3 days old . You can do the research yourself and then laugh at the scientists that came up with the 'ludicrous' conclusion .

KingEbukasBlog:
Cannot sustain life . No planet at all . This new development in the science world have shut the mouths of conspiracy theorists . And the dilettantes like ifeness who have an interest in extraterrestrial life with no indept knowledge are now sulking their thumbs

KingEbukasBlog:
Its all over the internet .

stainlex:
Bro, I know you didn't feed me this to chew, but the aroma was inviting..
Which scientists? Can you please provide a link to the journal where this claim was made?

omonnakoda:
Can you substantiate this please?
What does "UNIQUE" was there a scientific definition of the term provided by these "scientists"

Lets first of all know what "UNIQUE" Implies here and then take it from there... I am particularly interested in this one

Niflheim:
@johnnydon22, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Lol!!! That's so funny!!!

If I may ask, are you a member of any of these Groups on Facebook(Nigerian Atheists/Atheists Network)?...............

We also had an Event at UNILAG with Professor Douglas Anele and Seun Kuti. It took place in August last year!!!

And we also had anothet one on the 6th of December last year at Freedom Park, Lagos Island. A member of the British Humanists Association, Mr Bill Flavell was invited from the United Kingdom, while another Nigerian Atheist, David Imoh, also spoke at the Event.

I saw a child who was rejected because he was accused of witchcraft about two weeks ago

musKeeto:
^^ ah, don't you know truth makes the world boring to Nigerians? Demons, Spirits and unsolved mysteries entertain us.

On my way to kafanchan, will be back in a jiffy.

You are not back from Kafanchan yet

stainlex:
As in ehn!
Out of all the baloneys I've read on the thread, this just got me pissed off! I felt like slapping common sense into him! Imagine!!

stainlex:
Lawd Almighty!!!
This should be one of the most 'blasphemous' statements against reason of all time!!!
Were you there?

You are seeing what i am seeing my brother... Sometimes gullibility makes simpletons out of intelligent humans

Elliotwiz1:
you're trying to drain a stream by fetching the water with a bucket. that's the kind of effect criticising people's belief has. you cannot antagonise and influence at the same time. just as you hold a belief that what they do is barbaric so do they also hold funny beliefs about those who do not indulge in such acts. do you get? words alone can't change beliefs, put your effort in improving their lives and their Orthodox beliefs will be only in history classes

Tallesty1:
Yea... I know that but the reason I said that you should ignore the OP is because there's nothing you will say that will stop him from ridiculing Christians on here.

I read his post and there's nothing there that could convince a Christian to change his mind, just baseless assumptions.

Talking bout witchcraft, Saudi still execute witches openly but I don't think the OP is aware of that.

charix:
Not only those but our politicians also use our belief systems against us. An incompetent bastard rather than admitting not to know how to go about societal problems would tell Nigerians to put their hope in God; praying and fasting simple problems away.

Looting politicians chased by the EFCC tell the gullible public that only God should judge them, not manmade courts. Even our 'men of goat' enjoy the phrase their followers chant of "touch not my anointed" and "leave judgement to God" when caught red-handed.

A very good example to show Africans are still under mental bondage is sunday's thread of "do you believe in witches?", 99.9% of nairalanders responded in the affirmative. Let me not start with Nigerians on different blogs tapping into others' blessings rather than putting their hands to work.

Elliotwiz1:
but you forget that these beliefs are not a true reflection of the human minds. they believe in such because man will always find an object, living or nonliving to blame for his problems. the effect of your words on the people will have little or no effect. such retarded manifestations of life are inherent only in those who are in the backwaters of life. rather than blame my people, seek to improve their life. let your efforts be towards securing a better life for the people rather than at their beliefs and customs and inane traditions.
