Creativeseeker:
keep it up

You didn't answer my question. 🤔

What proof do you have that your prayer connects you to a divine?

Creativeseeker:
✓ so what do you believe in

I believe in being a LAW abiding citizen.

Creativeseeker:
atheism is not a religion.

Not a fact! 🤔

Ola9ja23:
✓ Many indomies generation don't believe in incantations but I pray you people don't have firsthand experience. Arrow never hit you that will make you succumb.
✓ If there is no incantations then there will be no need for prayer. Quran and Bible are also incantations bcs they carryout what you command them to do

1. If even with all of their stance against religion and your many incantations these arrows still have yet to hit them isn't that proof they are moving in the right direction? If your arrows only seem to work mostly against you religious folks and not against the indomies who abhor religion, isn't that proof that religion itself may be the problem?

2. What is a prayer and what is an incantation?

Creativeseeker:
✓ so what religion do you practice, every religion has prayers..
✓ Prayers connect with the divine..

Religion is a scam, fraud that is founded on lies upon lies so I practice nothing of it.

2. Can you confirm for us that any of your very own prayers have infact gotten you this connection to the divine you speak of? What is the identity of this divine you were connected to and what has physically resulted from this connection?

Creativeseeker:
✓by people obviously who have direct experience...
From movies and books and so on

And you can confirm this direct experience of theirs how?

Baldwretch:
✓ I will answer you tomorrow.

No point since your OP clearly indicates that the stated opinion is not based on Scriptural fact but on religious/fictional claims you were fed.

Creativeseeker:
based on vast stories passed on offline and online...

Vast stories offline and online written by whom, when? ,🤔

Creativeseeker:
✓ the ability to bring the unseen spirits to do the bidding of the person that cast the spell ( incantation)

What aspect of this which you claim is linked to the wisdom of Solomon? Have you ever witnessed or experienced any of these unseen spirits for yourself? Are they any different from say the forces of nature that have been scientifically accounted for thus far?

Creativeseeker:
This incantations of various African traditional religions practice is it directly related to alleged spells that some books claim Solomon practiced to become the wisest man ever in the World

What is it of all of the incantations you have ever studied that led you to believing there might exist a connection between them and Solomon, the supposed wisest man ever?

Baldwretch:
✓ Let me get your right: there was never a war against the Canaanites (in their own land) by a bunch of outsiders called the Jews who invaded their lands and killed them in their thousands? Is that what you are calling fiction? It never happened?

No!🤔

The people known as the Jews only came to be after the former nation of Israel was divided in to two separate nations -- the Northern nation of Israel and the Southern nation of Judae whose people were subsequently regarded as Jews after they were then taken into captivity by the Babylonians. The nation of Judae was created from the descendants of merely the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi..these are those regarded as the Jews.

mu2sa2:
There you go again. Mr man, killing is killing full stop!

Not according to the law— both National and International Law!

mu2sa2:
The painful truth for posters attacking Muslims above is that 100 people are killed every single day in USA in gun violence. Sadly, virtually all the victims will be Christians as their assailants. Would you hypocrites blame Christianity for the unending carnage?

And this serves as justification for this one man's choice to kill many in the name of his religion/deity?

HeatSeeker:
✓ You need to calm down this year. Haba!

Please get the duck away from me this year instead..

MadamExcellency:
✓ Requesting a divorce in Igboland has a procedure. When we marry, we don't only marry the lady or the man, we establish a special bond between the two kinships. It's not a thing you strike off with a pen when you so desires.

Stop lying! 🙄🙄

I know for a fact that even as far back as the 1980s those old idea had not been widely practiced. I witnessed several divorces in my area that didn't go anything like what you are here prescribing for your friend. And that is why I continue to question your friendship.

Baldwretch:
The post you just read was a comment I made in its unmodified form to a Nairaland user, AntiChristian, some days ago.
Realizing how profound it is and its implications, I thought I would share it in the religion thread.
I am seeking the opinion of dissenters who disagree with the opinion stated therein, especially Muslims.
Let's talk.

There is nothing profound about what is rather an opinion piece that avoids the facts.

Baldwretch:
➜ The Jews entered the Promised Land through warfare and would almost certainly expand by the same act. It seems logical then to infer that God's tool of propagating the Torah and himself (by implication) is a very effective strategy at the time - warfare. Conversion happens by force, not by some flowery words. Preaching to conquered territories would come naturally. They wouldn't have to be instructed to do it. After all, the nation that propagates the ideas of its God and its religion is not the one that is commanded by its holy books to do so, but the one that succeeds quite well in the act of warfare. That should be quite obvious.
Fighting wars in ancient times is almost inevitable. There would always be reasons to fight. And the more successful you are in the battlefield, the more likely you are to proselytize people and get nations to your God. God already promised and guaranteed victory to the Jewish nations if they obeyed his laws, so it is not true at all that Moses was sent to only Israel and not to the world at large. If God was going to give them a Land through wars, he would almost certainly keep them and expand their territories through the same act. It seems it's only a matter of time before subjugated nations and people worship the one true God even though they would not willingly worship initially.
God does not have to spell out an obvious truth (in the Torah) on how he was going to use the Jews to draw mankind to himself after giving the Law. If the Jews expanded and conquered territories, wouldn't people be forced to accept their religion?
The point I am making is that Muhammad's claim that he Torah was sent through Moses for the benefit of the Jews is gross error. The Torah is supposed to benefit all of mankind for all ages.

This here is what is an opinion piece based on fiction and not facts.

ceejay80s:
➜no fight me na... I already know the answer , just want to confirm from nairaland, do u know the meaning on ALLUU

Of course! It means jack shit! 🤔

What is important here is a divorce is being sort and your friend is not helped by you throwing around such meaningless terms where his pain and the rejection he is being faced with is concerned. 🤔

IBpaul:
Mine: The Reign of God

Did the last theme work out for all of those who attend the church?🤔

According to Stats, last year, over 80 million more Nigerians fell below the poverty line bringing the total to over 140 million Nigerians living below the poverty line. The vast majority of them are religious Nigerians, those who fill your church seats and mosque grounds every week. So, OP, did last year's church theme benefit the churchgoers? 😩😩😩😩

ceejay80s:
➜ u guys no understand there's a procedure, it ain't vip, it's like u saying my mother should go and pay my bride price where I am around and my dad is around and she will go to inlaws on traditional marriage day , ur mother will stand and had it over to the brides father, we call it ALLU abomination... many of u no dey go village meetings here obviously

Stop lying!🙄🙄🙄🙄

If I asked you to provide us all with where this procedure of yours is documented, I bet you would start foaming and flailing.... providing us no definites until the end. 🙄🙄🙄

The woman and her kin already arrived seeking a divorce from your friend. So, prolonging his misery by way of ridiculous lies is not helping him; be the reasonable friend you ought to be to him.

This religion thing na serious mental problem. Why would a person think it OK to kill others for the sake of his/he religious belief if not that he has been mentally diddled into believing such nonsense.

ceejay80s:
➜u are misinterpreting me. she's at her father's place, she's not tied to their house, at least when he came to my house on the 24th , she didnt come with him. i asked him , he said she's at her father's house since, the question and topic is , who returns bride price? father of the bride? sister? bride? sisters husband? the guy sef no do because the lady no dey him house like he said , I only told him not to receive that return of bride price as if he borrowed them money and they are returning it

You are goading your friend into requiring a VIP treatment from the father-in-law when the woman who connects them already made up his mind to divorce him? Na good friend you be so?

Day169:
➜I like to think of my finances as a formation in a football game, and I'm an advocate of the 3-4-3 system (since you have a child), my 'defence' is rent and school fees (30% of salary), 'midfield' is feeding and bills (40% of salary), and attack will comprise savings, investment and pocket money (30%). You can tinker with the formation to suit your purpose, but do the best you can to stick to the plan.
After all, all stress and no spice can quickly kill a man!

You don't seem to understand what is in fact happening in the country. The cost of living is rising and will continue to throughout the new year. Unless your salary equally to keep up, how do you think you can keep to this 3-4-3 system of yours?

Jerchance:
➜Hello Nairaland! I'm reaching out for your honest advice:
Today, I woke up feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life as a father,with a 9-5 job that doesn't pay much. I've struggled to make ends meet. I have no savings to fall back on, and the pressure is mounting now that I'm married with a new baby. My salary of 300k is quickly depleted by responsibilities and debt.
Could you offer some guidance on how to improve my financial situation? What skills can I learn or what steps can I take to increase my earnings, considering I don't have any savings to rely on? Thanks!!!!

A new baby after the shege of Buhari?

Talk to your wife. She needs to go out and get a job so she can begin to contribute to the family finances immediately. The shege banza of Tinubu remains in loading.... mode and you do not know what awaits you all in Nigeria in this new year. All indices point to more bad news from inside and outside of Nigeria. So you should both be prepared. 🤔

ceejay80s:
➜I don't judge....but it's not her position or her elders sisters husband,
my friend Joseph said he will collect it, if it was from the father, he took is no longer interested, no be by force but there should be a proper way, if he collects from wife or etc and denied collecting it nko?

It is not the position of the wife to demand a divorce from your friend and return the bride price he paid on her head.

You are not being reasonable at all. His wife is done with the marriage and wishes to leave. The best he can do is let her go and move on with his life as soon as possible.

RCCG Prophecies for 2025 - Pastor E.A. Adeboye.
- 2025 will be a Landmark Year
- Something you have been waiting for will arrive this year
- The wind that started last year will continue in 2025 and blow stronger
- Some earthly helpers, will be replaced by heavenly ones.
- Some towns will experience victory
- Mockers will be louder and more aggressive, unfortunately many of them will not survive the year.

The new format reads like that used by fortune tellers on their victims.

➜I am just seeing this now bro . Do you live in city or the suburbs?

Been going between both for a while now but not looking to engage Nigerians at all.

✓Hello Everyone , What's the Significant of Attending Cross over night in Church .
Can't Someone just stay in his House , Give thanks to God for His Mercies and Kindness in the Year Past and Pray into the New Year .
So Funny at Ikotun Last Year , I was Passing Infront of a Noisy Prostitute Hotel just some Few Minutes to 2024 ,I saw two of these Prostitutes Coming out and talking to themselves , Won't Helen Do fast so we can gets to that Church to Cross over , Na waoo , Abeg make we dey go I no wan to stay inside the hotel to Cross Over ooo.
✓ I shook my Head in Awe. You see some that have never been to church even for once In Year , You see Church Filled Up everywhere ...

According to Churchians, there are none perfect/Holy aka without sin or sinless, so what surprises you that two prostitutes chose to walk into your churches already filled to the brim with other sinners? Abi your sin better pass their own sin now?🤔

2. Why does it matter though? They are simply two sinners in a congregation of sinners at the end of it all, abi no be so?

Wyttcat:
I have to see that to believe it. Though I no longer get food at Walmart, but that's too cheap for even white eggs. I saw white eggs today at Aldi and they were $3.99/dozen, and Aldi is supposed to be the cheapest grocery store with almost everything you need within reach.

The 60 eggs box is sold at Walmart or Sam's Club, not Aldi.

Wyttcat:
You can't find $2 eggs anywhere, not even the white eggs.
Regular brown eggs start from $4 and the organic around $7.

We purchase pack of 60 eggs here at the Walmart for $7.98. 🤔

Alakoriomo:
Man lament for buying 5 pieces of apple, eggs and tomatoes for 32$ (after taxes). Americans are enjoying but they’ll still complain why?

But this guy complain just for $32? Why are some people ungrateful

A dozen eggs for almost $10 bucks when you can get a dozen somewhere else for less than $2?
