[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=514524.msg6788378#msg6788378 date=1285006025]Ok, whatever you say.


. . . . . Colonization of the Asian countries is no different than colonization of Africa or South America, but yet in these continents the people, in some cases, have gone back to the practice of their native belief system and in others, they have picked back up their native tongues and we see where these efforts are paying off for them in terms of the material culture I mentioned in my earlier response.   These people have political control and right of sovereignty over their natural resources and on a global scale they bring it to bear in international relations.

In Africa however,  we brag in our proficiency of the foreign language and intimacy with their culture. . . . . . . does any race of people need to say we are cursed for you to believe it?  Will you feel better if an Hausa man tell you you are cursed, instead of hearing it from a Jew?  We don't even have control of our own resources, much more the power to negotiate trades.  Is that a blessing to you?

You are not saying anything I didn't already know.


IFA and the authentic religion given by GOD, from Adam down to Abraham are the same.  They diverted at the point when the languages were broken up.  Subsequently man has introduced heretics into that faith and diluted its authenticity.  In fact, Christianity is built upon Judaism and Quran is nothing but the Gospel of Jesus written in Arabic. 

Let me give you something that will cause you a shock. . . . well, no never mind!  I can't give pearls to pigs[/quote]Its good to blame other people for your problems, Africa is cursed? by you? Its too many people with this stereotypical mind like yours that sums up Africa. Too much illiteracy, too much poverty and religion!

Oh you see Ifa religion as diluted and worse than Christianity? Can't you hear your demons talking! Aren't they just the same - wild fantasies.

So if we keep up with centuries past culture (which has lost all usefulness in today's world ) so whats gained?

@Dolemite,
You think your mother is a fool for telling you what you said she told you? May God help you not to ignore her wise counsel. Your mother has done the best for you by showing you the way of God and if you think she is wrong you will have yourself to blame. You people that call yourself atheists and are ashamed to make it open to your family and people around has once again proved that you are on the wrong side. Somebody is talking about christians in the north who are not bold enough to say they are christians. Its a big lie. Any strong christian who is sure of his stand and relationship with God cannot hide being a christian in the North. When we talk about Christians its not just by saying it or going to church, you must live it as a lifestyle and you can only live it as a life when you are genuinely Born Again. Washed with the blood of Jesus.
Its quite painful that most of you atheists were born into a christian family nurtured in the ways of God. After all the efforts by your parents, you threw away this precious heritage they gave you. PAINFUL. MAY GOD DELIVER YOU PEOPLE.

Hope Mazda and Zeus would pull you out of your mental prison!

The shortest route to happiness is forgetfulness. That Jonsthan G is just like every bloody politican, set to deceive, fool and rip off ppl. The best things politicans can do is to talk!

I discovered that by insisting that the right things be done, we could begin a turnaround in our power sector by involving the private sector in power generation and distribution. As you can see from the lower quantities of diesel that you are buying today, power generation has significantly improved.

All the time he has being at the throne, he didn't realize that the problem, not to speak of soultion. I can't vote for this tribalist monkey never! rather the Devil or IBB.
Corruption? Who has not promised to fight corruption? Even the dead have done so!

vescucci:
Goodfellas is a classic. There's no need to mention it. Anyways, just making a point. We should have a minimum of 5 ratings after which we can move on to the next movie if no more ratings are forthcoming.

De Niro is synonymous to Goodfellas. Who has seen Mean Street? Harvey Keitel & DeNiro.

I have been asked if atheist do marry? as if i was extraterrestrial

, So that there would a lot more reason to burn, kill and destroy one another. Emphasizing ethnic differences, does no one any good, better to let it die off quietly.

No wonder they are unable to play beautiful, sensible football or else they would all drop dead from heart attack

Arsenal would win Champions League the minute before Jesus Christ and Garfield come!

Its like Mourinho would lead Madrid into abyss, the team is shit!

I didn't feel Mark's part, more like a cameo and too much cursing. My man Nicholson, just being himself.

The definition of God is too subjective depending on your position. A polytheist sees his gods as in the diversity of his environment, simple and unsophiscated and limited. Whereas, a monotheist sums all the numerous gods of the polytheist into one complex, ubiquitous creature, whose entity is as singular as existence.

Thus the complexity of God, is draw from his man's present inability to underatand all.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=514524.msg6777807#msg6777807 date=1284835016]Good point Navi.

The eye is a spirit, the ear is a spirit, the tongue is a spirit, the hand is a spirit, the sexual organ is a spirit, the leg is a spirit. . . . . each has no meaning as an individual existence. Wired together as a complete circuit they give form and function to human life. So that when the spirit of my mouth desires a taste of nicotine I can counter that with the spirit in my legs - unless I get up to get a cigarrette there is no way that nicotine will get in my mouth.

This is unveiling!!!

When I seek a psychiatrist or a 12-step programm to intervene and help me stop smoking, then that's revealing. To those who understand this simple example can apply it to their relationship with GOD - whoever GOD is to you.

To Vescucci,

the mind have limits but not the heart. GOD created man, male and female made HE them, and HE called his name Adam. Endless receptacle of love and imagination!! Endless capacity!![/quote]Ancient Theology!

I think its one of common interest, especially where there is open hostility. There is the need to keep our status.

A suggestion, Apocalyse Now. Quite an old movie in the 70s, by Coppola, features;

17yr old Lawrence Fishburne,

Martin Sheen,

The big boy Marlon Brando,

Robert Duval,

Harrison Ford,

Dennis Hopper,

It draws themes on the reality of War, as it was in the diastrous Vietnamese War. It is just a unique war film.

MFM, ever at war, burning down and shooting down enemies both unseen and seen. Those known and unknown, future enemies, past enemies.

Yet, their Satan and enemies are still alive, they spent their lifetime constructing a fantasy world, where they fiht within themselves! There is a bigger world out there.

I do not think Trinity was developed in the Council of Nicaea, although they tried explaining the relationship of Jesus with God. Jesus could not be accepted as a creation of God since the essence of the sacrifice would be in jeopardy. Their solution was a basis from which Trinity grew out from.

How many atheists in Nigeria, are open about their disbelief? Are family members or close friends and colleagues aware? What are the challenges?

It has not always met much approval?

amingafar:
because islam is the most dominant religion in the north, If you want christian laws in the south go head.

Thats a faulty idea, State laws or governments ought not to be biased towards a particular religion. Private religious practices is whats respected. It would be unconstitutional and dangerous to adopt a traditional religion in a state, the rights of the Muslims, Christians, even atheists and co. would be trampled upon.

Such states are closed to non muslims.

amingafar:
God is above the constitution and in Nigerias Consistution is CLEARLY states that all religions shall be respected.

Thats too dangerous, a fanatic like Muttalb, would an easy justification for even mass murder.

What of other people's Gods?

A quick conclusion is that the Devil lives in the Bowels of the earth, and God lives just above us in the skies! . All that myth was true.

A God could be said to be a distraction.

We have never had a candidate, so energetic, charismatic and liberal minded and always focused on the issues. Someone like Obama. Rather, GEJ thinking of using his weight as a son of Niger Delta to grab this opportunity of a lifetime, appealing to ethnic sentiments. A sick man like IBB, with his end in sight. A spoilt brat like Saraki!

this country needs Redemption!

interested in Departed. 4

Yet they benefit from this immorality, by accepting revenue derived from alcohol sale, which accrues to the federal Account, and turn reaches their table.

Its hypocritical!

Dolemite:
I don't know how true this is (you got it from email) but it's religion, further proof that religion is poison! they are doing what their religion preaches. Like in Christianity where the pope tells people living with AIDS not to use condoms. . .religion is poison.

The Pope had always emphasized on the Incredible Sin in the use of contraceptives.

Just one word, horrifying!
