This is one of the most dangerous ideas of religion i know. It leaves the culpable begging their God for forgiveness instead of the people they actually offended. why not beg the one you offended for forgiveness and not a deity. A ridiculous idea that is devised to rid the culpable of their guilt and responsibility for their actions to the detriment of the victim rather gives them a sense of assurance even when the victim is still hurt. Nobody needs the forgiveness from grudge bearing Gods or angry deities that is so punny as to be concerned as who someone sleeps with or not. We only need forgiveness from ourselves and one another... 1 Like 1 Share |

tk4rd: WTF is wrong with you all were they not humans? were they not intelligent beings? the problem is that most of you have no idea the history of Africa. . . Why didn't you ask me how they built houses too? In igbo langauge Odinani is practised as both science and religious art. they had knowledge of astrology, music, botany, mkpisi (maths) medicine.. Ancient igbos successfully divided the year in 365 days of 4 days in a week, 7weeks in a month and 13months in a year plus 1 day. they knew a herb that could cure any ailment. . . .These people were not some bunch of black illiterate monkeys like you have been taught. They had these knowledge the white men made us discard our own version of knowledge for theirs.. 1 Like |

Paul was a smart mouth though i give him that. . . . He didn't know anybody called Jesus but was quick to attack the people who does verbally. . .Disagreed with peter and John most times even though John and peter were more or less the closest to the Jesus and should know him better. The smart mouth even gave two contradicting accounts of his alleged arrest by a spirity Jesus on two different occasions. Always reports himself as an apostle (This is an exclusive title for the 12) which was a big lie, Paul was never an apostle even after the death of Judas he was replaced by Mathias. He had contradiction and conflicting ideas with the apostles. . . Paul really made a mess of the newly emerged Jewish Sect Jesus apostles started |

herald9:[b] The Igbo Chukwu is by far a more mature concept that the Christian yahweh, islamic Allah... these semitic originated deities are actually depicted to possess such childish traits. something is powerful enough to create the universe but is busy bearing grudges with humans. Loving smell of burning flesh. Threatening humans with torture to get worship and reverence. Has a son, is so concerned whether humans masturbate or not that it had to murder his son to forgive them. Just too a childish concept smeared with outright absurdity.. Come to think of it The Igbo chukwu that was demonized by the missionaries was a far more mature concept than the one they brought. The Igbo chukwu is not interested in worship. Can not be known neither does it concern itself/himself/herself with mundane activities. It is just too above the scope of mundane attachments talk more of having a special people not to talk of threatening anyone. No it is just too big and unknown...[/b] But then, how were they able to explain the other side of good - evil. What did they think was responsible for it.[b]Just as they have Alusis who interact with humans on earth igbos also has concepts of negating spirits.. Just like Imo mmiri is the Alusi of Water (Water God/Goddess) there is also an evil negating force like Ogbanje spirity stuff. Agbara and so on. . . Igbos have concepts of evil spirits Ajo mmuo that are harmful and are personifications of evil.. (Just like i mentioned the Gods are personifications of natural elements, the evil spirits are personifications of evil (Unpleasant ) on earth) Also Igbos have a concept of afterlife tied to the moral fabrics of the people. in fact every ancient Igbo man tries to live a very upright and moral life based on the DOs and DONTs of the community. It is believed that when someone lives a Moral life after he/she dies goes to the land of the spirits to the abode of the ancestors to rest and can also interact and help the living from there. . .The abode of the ancestors is a nice place to be to them. But when someone doesn't live a moral life, they are denied entry into the land of the ancestors and as such roams about without rest and can become negating spirits or bad spirits.... [/b] NB: I didn't know Ugwu was a god. Blame Timaya!LMAO Ugwu in Igbo means Hill or mountain. . The God ugwu (personification of Hill/mountain).. What timaya was saying is UKWU not Ugwu.. uKWu means waist in igbo langauge.. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

herald9:[b] Igbo Religion is a form of Deistic Religion eventually mutilated and killed by the missionaries. The Igbo religion has a concept of God (Chukwu) who is unknown, incomprehensible, too big and do not interact with humans because it is way above that. it has no shrine or priests. . . It is literally just too immerse and deep that no one can ever know what, who it is.... Then they now employ the use of Alusis, who are Gods (in the real sense personifications of natural elements) These Alusis act as intermediaries between Man and Chukwu.. remember Chukwu is unknown and above mundane activities or worship monger. . so the alusis are mediators between Chukwu and man.. In the Alusis we have Amadioha (the one you know  ) Also known as Kamalu or Igwekala. . . Th God of thunder and symbol is a white ram.Ala .... Goddess of the soil. Igwe. . . God of the sky Ekwensu . . .God of trade and tricks. . . . (This very particular deity is mutilated to mean satan by missionaries...This is a huge lie. This deity is not an adversary of chukwu, like i mentioned above the igbo religion asserts a God that is too big and incomprehensible and as such cannot have an enemy or adversary. Ekwensu is just an igbo Alusi like the others and not an adversary of chukwu..) Fijioku... God of yam Ugwu . . .God of the hills. (this particular deity is one found mostly revered in my town) there are many deities that are just intermediaries in Igbo religion and note that some towns take these deities as their patron just like my town mainly takes Ugwu.) And then they have CHIs. .these are personal Gods unique to each individual and are in charge of the events of the individuals. . (Personification of FATE) ... But the Igbo religion in particular reveals a Vaguely Monotheistic but Deistic concept of God (Chukwu). . The missionaries lied to our people, mutilated the igbo religion, misrepresented it, insulted it and tried to distance the Deistic Igbo Chukwu from igbo religion and infuse it into their own theistic concept of Romanized Jewish Yahweh that they brought.. I call it a cultural holocaust ...they killed the igbo culture and religion..most modern generation of Igbo have no idea of the things i just said now about the igbo religion and its concept of God[/b] 5 Likes 4 Shares |

elantraceey:[b] Matthew 8:14 When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. Isaiah 8:3 New International Version Then I made love to the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the LORD said to me, "Name him Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. New Living Translation Then I slept with my wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. And the LORD said, "Call him Maher-shalal-hash-baz. Thirdly Harger not Ketura was Abraham's concubine given to him by Sarai.. Ketura was a wife and sarah didn't give her to Abraham... Genesis 25:1-4 Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan; the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah. Seriously y'all don't read your own bible  I find it quite cute how naive people can be about their own religion. . .Anyway so if the men you mentioned where not mentioned in the bible to have wives they automatically do not have wives. The bible also never mentioned they had sexual urges, automatically they didn't huh? The bible also never mentioned them taking a poo, i take they don't take poos ... One can only imagine when religious texts became historical records.. Pheeew!!!..[/b] 1 Like |

krattoss:Common bro there is nothing to debunk here.. Cloud seeding is a common knowledge... Every rain making process involves burning of some leaves and the smoke of these leaves has the same effect on a rain cloud as a silver iodine. Wonder why nobody makes rain in the harmattan? Because there is no rain cloud .. Rain making is just a typical local form of cloud seeding. . .

Lmao. . .Biblical solomon had 1000 . . That nigga tho ..  Anyway i don't support polygamy unless both parties are given equal rights to it.. why should men be allowed more than 1wife but women are not... Thats unfair. If men are given the right to take as many wives as they want, women also should have the right to take as many husbands as they want .. Women are not properties to be acquired at will... But if women are not given the polygamy right then men shouldn't be given it too... Then a consenting man and woman that goes into marriage should hold stead fast to each other and not involve third parties into it.. 2 Likes |

PinkBarbie:You try be that then.. Though you made some points, a higher percentage of the guys will leave their girlfriends for her. Especially when it's free of charge. Relationships out there is still as free as anything. . This is not even free because according to the Op it will cost you the one you are dating already... so that's a prize. I am sure i have never told a girl.. "Be my girl and i will pay you" yet i get as much as i want .. so this being free still doesn't mean guys will jump into the offer... She aint Rihanna for crying out loud.. Trick question: Would you leave your boy friend for Drake? |

PinkBarbie:Maybe you are judging them with what you think your boy friend might do. But seriously we are all different individuals, what this will do is not what another will. There is nothing special about her looks neither is her womanliness made of gold.. There are lots and lots of pretty girls out there of which my gf is one of them. . But really falling in love is not a matter of looks. even in looks the picture in the Op is not even spectacular just average. . . |

You can also see venus, mars,;jupiter from here on earth. the same way we have moon rises here is the same way it is called earth rise on the moon. ....the object there in the picture is planet earth... first and second pic is the earth from the moon. third is the earth and the moon onba close up photograph together.. 1 Like
