Maestro21: Please, jab your kids with the experimental serum. Hope you have had your second and 3rd doses. You will soon have your 4th...that is, if you are alive by then.
Wetin concern me and your innocent children? Na me you dey do. You will still come back here to cry.
LeftAlone: Okay! I guess you don't have any new thing to say because your boss, LordReed who brought out Tonic Immobility has not yet been able to rebut the other experiment. Let's wait for Seun, FrancisTown, hopefullandlord, Jaephoenix and the rest to come and rebut the other experiment... Seems like you are not knowledgeable enough to do that.
Dude you are a funny clown. Your brought parlor tricks for me to go and try and you think I will actually waste my time with them? Bwahahahahaha!
You had the opportunity to do a zoom meeting with me to confirm your spiritual mumbo jumbo but you chickened out and want me to go play in an ash pit. You really need a job. LMFAO!
Workch: It's mostly misinterpreted in Africa because of our shambolic educational system
I don't think it's even taught outside of University courses in Nigeria. I remember back in secondary school even though we had charts depicting evolution, neither the integrated science teacher nor the biology teacher touched on it in 3yrs of JS or 3yrs of SS.
Workch: I was a Christian for 27 years, after my undergraduate course in Nigeria, I happened to travel to Poland for my masters degree, I became irreligious while in Poland. I travelled to many parts of Europe: Germany, Netherlands, Spain etc with my student schengen Visa, in the course of travelling, I interacted with many European and debated religion with them. I have not been to the untied states but I have had many conversations with Christians from the United States of America about how they perceive the theory of evolution and these are my observations:
1. European Christians are less conservative than Christian from America and Africa. Albeit, education in America seem to have made those there to be more exposed than their African counterparts but still they are still very conservative.
2. Christians in Europe don't take literal interpretations from the Bible, they see most of the passages to be allegories which are meant to pass spiritual and moral meanings . They don't take the Adam and eve story to be literal hence they do not have issues reconciling their beliefs with the theory of evolution. Christians in America and Africa are mostly literalists, their interpretation of the Bible is literal, this is why they find it difficult to reconcile the Bible with theory of evolution. Because to them, it means that their literal understanding of Genesis will be wrong.
3. American and African Christians are still overzealous about their religion. Probably because the religion is quite newer in these continent. Christianity has a long history in Europe, so Europeans really don't see a big deal about it anymore. It's also why they accept the Bible as allegoricsl interpretations instead of thr literal meaning.
Add to that a lack of understanding of what the theory entails. Most Christians who don't understand the theory rather get their information from apologists who often misrepresent the theory. Thankfully when I was still a Christian I decided to understand the theory for myself even though I still believed that the god created all life as we know them today.
I know money brings COMFORT in all form, marriage inclusive but does it bring HAPPINESS along? Like does being married to a man rich automatically makes a woman a happy woman? Will it make the marriage a happy marriage? A happy home for the kids etc. I know the wife of a rich man would quite be comfortable compared to that of a low income earner.
She can easily outsource whatever she needs thereby making her comfortable in her home. From washing machine, maids, full dstv subscription, driver, Gateman, shopping, vacation and all good things that money can buy; does all these bring true happiness?
When a distance sister of mine got married to her husband years ago, we were definitely not too happy for her. We thought she'd suffer in a marriage without finance. The truth is they still have finance issues till now, but not something beyond their power. It's close to 10 years now and I realise she is happy there, herself and her husband are low income earners yet they found happiness in each other. See her looking younger than her age with two kids to show for it.
I have also come to realise(from observation) that most times, it's likely for a woman to eventually marry a low or average income earner(as against the illusion of a millionaire husband). As long as the woman has something doing, they usually end up doing well. You see them looking better than they were when they both got married lol Seems like a good marriage brings out the beauty of both sexes, little wonder why young ladies dont mind dating married men
So married men and women, what is your take on this? Does money bring happiness in marriage? Is finance all about the comfort it can bring? Let singles like me learn something new
Money by itself doesn't bring happiness. It is how it is used that brings happiness. In addition to that the people using the money need to generate that happiness from within themselves as they are using the money or else it won't evoke anything.
KnownUnknown: And that is the source of morality but the deluded will think some repulsive character from a fairy tale or their own particular imaginary friend is responsible.
This one is even trying to turn logic on its head, saying if you do good it means you believe in god. LMFAO!
gohf: the basic point in that post is that those who do good believe in God and not that the basis of them doing good is that they believe in God. You that know how to read English can't grasp a simple understanding of what you read.
To believe in God is to do what He says, and God says to do good.
Is that not what you read. Some believe in God while some are not even aware of him, yet both do good and qualify to have obeyed his command.
I go to someone that does good and tell them the good news that they have an eternal reward for the good they do, if they say o I don't believe that, does it change the reward they will get, no. When they get the reward will they refuse it, no.
I will say it as many times, those who calm to believe God and don't do what he says haven't believed him But those who claim to not believe God but do what he says and are the ones who truly believe and reap the benefits of obedience. Jesus said two men were asked by their father to do a thing, one said he will but didn't, the other refused but still did it. Who will the father be pleased with.
They play, no matter whatever you claim to believe God will bless the righteous and curse the unrepentant wicked.
And it is not getting through your thick skull plate that person who doesn't believe in your god doesn't believe in your god. You are like a glitching robot who can't process that there are people who do not believe in your god. Your attempt at twisting logic on its head with your fairytales is still rubbish.
gohf: Your response as light to do with what you quoted, it's rubbish so you didn't read it and assumed what it says, isn't that fo.o..olishness.
What rubbish is a "bare minimum empathy and sympathy" is that what you really feel or some rubbish you came up with to justify your lack of understanding of what I wrote. Do you think those who claim to believe in God and do good lack empathy or sympathy.
What rubbish assumption is a particular belief makes anyone special, if you don't want to believe anything don't believe anything, if people want to feel special what does it have to do with you. How does it affect you, should it stop you from doing good.
This people believe in God and do good, you question there believe and claim to do good, what good is that. Who gives you the right to that, yourself.
You say they are deceiving themselves, are you not also delusional and self deceptive. How does it affect you that they want to believe in God and do good?
I read your nonsensical post that's why I know it is rubbish.
I didn't know that you don't know how to read English. I wrote "At bare minimum empathy and sympathy for the human condition is what is needed", reread it until it sinks through whatever is blocking your brain.
It is not an assumption that is the fact. It doesn't matter who you are once you have sympathy or/and empathy for your fellows you will do good to them.
You are delusional if you think belief in god is what makes people do good or that it makes you special. You literally have people who have no belief in god doing good and excelling all over the world.
gohf: Why you really don't want to believe in God is because you want to do wicked things and get away with it.
To believe in God is to believe His word, which says love and do what is right.
What is the purpose of saying God doesn't exist, it is to challenge his words and say there is no need to do what he says.
Question, if you hate what is right or hate to do what is right why do u feel a need to be right or feel right?
I don't have to do good to anyone after all I don't believe in some reward for doing it. I can do whatever benefits me even if it's selfish and wicked and get away with it, because there is definitely no hell or punishment for my wickedness.
"I don't believe in God" but I believe in doing good, bro don't deceive yourself, it is God's command to do good, to love and to do what is right and not evil."
God is good, if there is no God there is no good, as long as there is good there is God. Just as there is evil, there is good.
You say you believe in good and not in God, you are confused, you say you believe in love but not in God, you are also confused.
What do you think love is, to get what you want? That's lust. Love is to give, even when it goes against self and is sacrificial, it gives for the sake of good.
We don't pay to exist yet we don't believe that out of Love came the existence we have received. We received life freely yet do not believe in the free gift of God.
Abeg make it make sense
Rubbish. A belief in any god is not necessary to do good. At bare minimum empathy and sympathy for the human condition is what is needed and cuts across belief or nonbelief. Stop deceiving yourself into thinking your particular belief makes you special.
That is the reason I haven't had it recorded in videos because I knew some of you will still not believe.
I've told you, your believe is useless. Whether you believe or not, if you tried that experiment up there, anybody, anywhere in the world will get the expected result.
How does either of these prove supernatural causation?
I just got unbanned by the bot. I've been banned like "800 Million" times. Lol! Just kidding! So, I haven't been able to respond on my previous thread.
So let's get things straightened out.
Okay! So, all the atheists on this forum and those who don't believe in spirits, the likes of FrancisTown, LordReed, Jaephoenix, hopefullandlord, busybrain233 and all that time will fail me to mention.
I'd like to follow the piece of advice given by 1Sharon , since she said it would be better to do stuff that everyone will see.
Hol'on , I am a Christian and a follower of Christ and my love for Jesus cannot change, however, life circumstances has really made me understand that there are kings and there are kingdoms, there are mountains and there are thrones.
There are powers that be, there is the "He that is in the World" . I can't tell you all the things I've seen with my eyes. Some people will think I'm just capping. Okay! So, without further ado, though ado itself is a further.
I'll give you something that anyone who might be interested will try and get the same result regardless of anywhere you are in the world.
I've said this countlessly. The African Religions don't need your believe. Your believe is useless, unlike the Abrahamic faith.
Now before we proceed, don't let anyone be unfortunate enough to ask me to do it myself, then record it and post the link. Can't let nobody play me. If you wouldn't do that much, then you should keep shut and shut the door behind you outta this thread.
That being said. 1. Get a goat. A billy goat of any colour of your choice.
2. Get a piece of cloth that has been worn by anybody, preferably a top. (whether you or anybody else)
3. Fold the cloth in a round manner like you want to make a head gear, having semblance with the way snakes fold themselves.
4. Place the folded cloth on the ear of the billy goat, and in 2mins the goat will sleep off. If you didn't remove the cloth in 20 mins, the goat will die.
Now if anyone says a goat is too expensive. Then try this.
Get a pouched rat or a bush rat as some people may call it. Òkété In Yorùbá Language
1. Make sure it's recently killed. Less than 30mins is most effective.
2. Set up a smoking point where you can burn off the fur or is it hair they call it now?
3. Get plenty of ashes and sprinkle it round the smoking point in large quantity.
4. Set the pouched rat on fire and look round the sprinkled ashes. In less than 60 seconds, you'll see the footprint of the pouched rat walking out of the smoking point.
Do not get me wrong, you won't see the pouched rat walking out, but you will see the footprint of the bush rat as it walks out of the smoking point on the sprinkled ashes.
That's the spirit of the pouched rat walking out of the body once fire touches the body.
These are things that I've tried and seen myself, I was not told. I did them myself and confirmed them.
Now back to @ LordReed. He asked why I can't use some supernatural power to get me a job. Well, this is your answer. I am a lover of Christ and whatever Christ can't do in my life, let it remain undone.
I know people and I know things, but Christ in me my hope of glory.
Thanks y'all for your time.
LMFAO! So it now down to parlour tricks. Bwahahahahaha!
9gerian: Why not state the discrimination clearly here.
I offer a service that involves creatives, which means I have to customize the client’s needs. However, because some clients wish to force an agenda down the throat of others, they specifically target law abiding citizens who are religious keeping to their faith, which in turn benefits the society. These clients who can be described as unusual choose to seek out such religious individuals so as to arm twist them into making creatives that go against their conscience and believes. This is while these unusual clients could have simply searched out members of their own unusual beliefs and sexual leanings or get a neutral provider to offer their cravings and sexual beliefs and orientation. Alternatively, if the service provider contacted is unbothered, then there is no issues. But as long as they are bothered, and maybe even shaken by the request, then they should be able to decline giving the service, and left alone for good, while other willing service providers are sought as an alternative.
Now, can you show me or at least demonstrate how this discrimination you speak of becomes a topic.
On the contrary the whole episode speaks to an attempt to victimize religious individuals who just want to be left alone in their own space and within their own rights, especially in a free market environment.
There was no attempt to force anything. She was the one who brought the case to the Supreme Court preemptively, nobody attempted to victimise her. She wasn't even a website designerwhen she brought the suit.
Of course any workman can reject work but when you begin to make it known that you reject work based on religion what do you think that does to the fabric of a multi religious society? Do you think we need more of these kinds of divisive issues?
Besides it's ridiculous to say that LGBTQ folk should only be served by other LGBTQ folk, sexual orientation is not something one places a sign on the forehead and walk about with. How does it make sense for a waiter or a cashier to be concerned with the sexual orientation of the person they are serving? I have never heard a Christian say I won't buy an Apple product because the CEO is guy and my money is going to be part of what pays his salary. How do you even know if the bread you bought this money is paying some LGBTQ person? This case is just an arbitrary point for discrimination to make yourselves feel good about your religion.
9gerian: In a way, yes, especially when it involves matters that connotes eternal damnation as have been demonstrated by the Bible in the Sodom and Gomorrah story. The service provider will be traumatized if he goes ahead, hence there is no need to force it. Find another provider.
I hope you won't be here to cry foul when stuff like this turns around to bite you in the arse.
IMO this is why a secular state is so important especially in multi religious and multi cultural society so that we don't get people using their religion to discriminate against others.
OLAADEGBU: Come off it! We know your real intention is to disarm the populace so that you can control them. We all know how the 4th amendment is preventing you from carrying out your devious scheme.
We also know evil machinations you have against children. Thank God that people are beginning to vote with their wallets and purses.
How does securing your firearm or taking firearm safety training disarm you? You are just showing you are not even bothering to use that thing between your ears.
The children in the US continue to die by firearms in otherwise preventable situations but sure the people trying to reduce that death statistic are the ones with the agenda. Person wey no dey use im brain naim dey yarn dis kain okpats.
fergie001: US Supreme Court has ruled that Lorie Smith, a Christian web-designer in Colorado cannot be forced to create website for ‘same-sex marriage’, which is against her religious beliefs.
No where in your video does it say the so called Sodom and Gomorrah was the site of an ancient nuclear war nor does it say that a sample from the site was tested and showed radiation.
OLAADEGBU: What gun law would prevent accidental gun discharge? Unless you’re saying these accidents cannot happen to legal gun owners. We know you liberals are targeting guns and children as the article you quoted implies below.
Won't be surprise that the father is a ultra winger screaming about how they'll never take the guns from him all the while putting his entire family in danger from not even spare a few moments to think sensibly, like you.
This incident underscores the entire gun laws debate, dumbasses like this guy resisting sensible gun laws, misanthropes like you egging them on and children tragically killed just because sense has evaporated from a vocal few.
OLAADEGBU: What gun law would prevent accidental gun discharge? Unless you’re saying these accidents cannot happen to legal gun owners. We know you liberals are targeting guns and children as the article you quoted implies below.
Some type of law requiring guns to be secured at all times and mandatory gun safety training, you know sensible gun laws which you seem unable to think of. Is it because you have little in the way of sense?
