a survey of Nigerian leaders!?

@jagunlabi,

kudos to you. you are really trying your best to relate concepts about the supreme God and its supreme love for all life to people that will never understand.

it takes a long journey on the evolutionary ladder for man to reach the level of homo spiritualis.

a stage where the soul automatically knows that there is no difference between it and the next soul and that God really loves us all equally and really does not care about our religion or beliefs.

God is always speaking. all it takes to hear It is to be silent and listen.

i have dreamt better stories theories. Gigantic detachment from reality. What are the practical applications? Defy gravity?

---

The people feel cheated. A problem caused by the elites and suffered by the masses. Spilling the frustration on the streets.

If you are fortunate!

Its impossible to reconcile with an intolerant Almighty, with a rival. There is a colossal conflict between the ot and nt.

Muslim Proud with their Religion because they were worshiped one God, not unlike the compused ones with many god.

what's the difference if neither can authenticate their beliefs. The few gods doesn't make it any truthful!

Actually, there are no coherent stories on the fall of the Lucifer. The pieces do not add up. The account by Isaiah was more or less frozen form of Phoneician myths.

Despite, man's astonishing progress in science and its unlimited application to our survival, he keeps superstition and idiocy as his closet companions.

@ toba, what's your point?

Abortion is a threat to your sense of morality or the society in general?

Abortion has been highly risky and harmful in Nigeria, since the law bars safe and legitimate abortion, nevertheless, the choice to have abortion is similar to the choice of whether or not to have a baby, by any means including celibacy.

Its fair if the carrier and provider who is far more concerned about the welfare of the foetus, thus she is in best position to make a choice of whether or not to have it. She often considers the resources she has at hand to cater for the baby.

where are all the muslims and christians and deists?

pls, pray and move Lagos into the ocean.

Guys easy on him. hey chakula, how do you deal with those big black spots on the head, inflicted from praying.

Dunga is a defensive-minded coach, does not like Pato and big names. Dom shuld have taken Benzema.

i think prayer should be labelled profanity and blasphemy since it implies God's Will is faulty!

The assist against Bolton was fluke, the pass was intended for Deco in a 1,2. It can not match the precision and audacity in the heel of God

But it is very hard accepting it, especially when you are unfamiliar with it and its in the region of abomination.

and how is different from my thoughts?

Christians are becoming more logical, tell one to jump off a balcony and that an angel would rescue him. but passes with disbelief.

;d ;d ;d ;d

so drogba can jazz them!

A being that every creature is subconsciously aware of, as the creator of existence including HIS, the infinite one, termination to the infinite regress?  The universe is playground, an epitome of his creativity and power. Yet his nature, his character is undeterminable, he is omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent. An entity presented without limitations, weakness or fault. His intimacy is unidentifiable, male or female or an hybrid? He is beyond the understanding of man, beyond the universe he has created. he is a mystery.

What is beyond man's grasp? what is beyond the scope of observation and test? Nature, man is  discovering and manipulating. The truth behind our world is whenever there is a positive, there is a negative. the specific details and characteristics of a subject, indicate what it is not, thus drawing out its limitations and consequently the development of a concept on that subject. In other words the regularity of nature and its laws are owed to its limitations.

Thus, a lion would not give birth to a goat, an egg would not hatch a man, a mango tree would not grow apples! fire burns with oxygen, the brain is the seat of consciousness, sight is achieved through the eyes not legs or hands!

What then are the specifics of God, cos if he has, then he is confined to such abilities as a result lose his status as God! Is he loving and kind, just and caring; he is not wicked and unjust, thus he is not omnipotent. If he is omniscience, then he cannot be omnipotent, cos he has already known his future actions at a point in the past, thus cannot change it, therefore defeating his omnipotence!

A being without an identity or character is similar to a void, question mark, an imagination, a blank, nothing! Thus has no existence, like nothing exists only as  a state. 

Impressive! ten years in prison. That kind of sacrifice would be hard to come by in Nigeria.

But he loves dancing a lot. and loves women.

He has some sembleance of a dictator, hardly tolerant and on a constant battle with the media and judiciary.

@Duroe, are you aware that the KOran states unbelievers ( non muslims) are at risk of hell. aren't you worried that at death, Mohammed could to be right, would it be fair on you? no, cos you were strongly convinced as a muslim is to his religion that Jesus existed and is the son of god. Then what is the yardstick to find the truth? pure faith or reason, a divine provided gift.

oh none.

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=416658.msg6033464#msg6033464 date=1273805116]Ofcourse it will go belly up. Anything that relies on the government handouts (Socialism) and government controlling everything (Socialism) will definitely go belly up or the government will start dictating what a person can do with their life (communism).

I just hope Africans learn from Europe's mistakes. But ironically the U.S. is not learning from Europe's mistakes and is going in that direction starting with this damned health care overhaul.

Stop giving governments too much power.
They will screw up. heck we know about that in Nigeria.

I bet you they're not gloating now. They wish they never started down that road.[/quote]that's a lame point, the health care would change millions of lives. the society heads to a safer future. Or else another Chile or prerevolutionary France and Russia.

GOD IF YOU EXIST AS THE CHRISTIANS WANT US TO BELIEVE , THEN LET ME BE BLIND FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS FROM NOW


F.cuk!!!!!!

also inspiration for bloodthirsty demons like Hitler and Joshua.

Are you both aware that until some years ago homosexualism was considered A DEVIANT SEXUAL PRACTICE AND CLASSIFIED A MENTAL ILLNESS. The gay right groups and liberals actively campaigned for a change in nomeclature.

Homosexualism is a choice. Nobody was born to be one. It is not genetic as people have tried but failed to prove.

It is immoral not only by biblical standards but societal standards. Depends on which side of the fence you sit on. You guys can continue practicing your gayness, provided you dont rub our noses in it and try to force the rest of the sane society to indulge in or embrace your practice. We have a right to preserve the human culture.

actually our cousins bonobos, do it all the time. Hyenas, giraffes, especially apes. if manifested in nature, then god likes it. isn't it?

toba:
In addition to the above, if we can see God also sees, as we think to reason intelligently,God does same. For instance one of the argument for Gods existence is that 'an intelligently designed, designed by an intelligent designer'

Same way man intelligently designs many things that makes pple go a wire. So not that God looks like me or like mukina or jesoul, but man can do things in Gods semblance. Not all things though

man creates car, god creates man, then who creates god?

Heaven is God's throne

i had always thought god was omnipresent.

So hell is just like a 'Remand' for criminals awaiting final judgement.

wow, judgement, has been made already, so whats the use for judgement day?

are you implying that our dead president will go to hell since he was not a christian and did not accept christ as his saviour?

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=442530.msg6033022#msg6033022 date=1273793186]@Kay 17,
If govt's role is all that you mentioned above, what is the role of the citizens? I guess I can just lay back and expect my govt to provide everything for me since it is their obligation to do so. Do you realise that the govt has no money to spend until it confiscates another's? The govt takes from the productive members thereby increasing their burden while redistributing mostly to the non-producers. How can such a model be sustained?
Say what?! Do you know what you are talking about? Even now, one of the recommendations of the IMF to Greece is to privatise much of the public sector if they ever hope to survive. The problem is not capitalism, it is socialism. Capitalsim built the greatest nation on earth - the USA. Unfortunately, its experiment of socialism is bringing it and others to its knees. You might want to rid yourself of some misinformation by reading the following article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/01/business/global/01euro.html[/quote]The Greeks have huge problems with corruption and tax evasion especially by the rich. The govt has being ineffective, corrupt and being the cause of agitation. The burden created by the politicans are borne by the people, what do you expect? violence and frustration.

A government that neither provides quality education, job opportunity, galvanises the private sector, security, social amenities, health care is what then?

The private sector of Nigeria cannot survive without foreign investment or govt intervention, what more can a citizen do. Best is to fulfill his moral obligation of his country.
