DeepSight: What exactly would that mean. I mean, can life be artificial? What would artificial life be like? A copy of living things? Fake life? Exactly what?
A life whose origins are not natural i.e. created life.
Tragedy struck at Ayanfuri in the Diaso District after Nana Kwabena Okyere, Mmratehene of the Ayanfuri Traditional Area, allegedly shot himself accidentally with a pump-action gun during a funeral ceremony on Friday, 9th May, 2026.
Eriokanmi: I remembered the message of baba adeboye in one holy ghost programme like that. He said there was a year there was farmine in Nigeria. There was no rain for almost a year. Crops weren't yielding well as a result. People resulted to all manner of manipulative ways to survive. He said God told pa akindayomi to tell his wife to cook soup and get any protein they could afford inside. That the soup would serve them for long, provided they didn't look inside the pot. When warming it, they must look the other way when stirring it.
At times, pa akindayomi's wife would dip the spoon inside the pot and pack big chicken, at times big beef, in that order yet soup didn't finish neither did those divine proteins provided stop coming.
One day, papa's wife wanted do see fiin idi koko like yorubas would say. She peeped through and saw nothing inside the pot. Since then, nothing was being packed from the pot. One would keep enjoying God's grace for as long as it's not abused
Hez143: antichrist is here already,they needed something to make people accept the mark of the beast without knowing it.
Why is Ai program launch rolled out now, something that's been discovered decades ago.(ask mad muda) why was UFO files that's been classified for decades, released now why was Epstein files realized this year check the pattern,the mark of the beast will be rolled out by 2032, fully implemented by 2038 to 2040. ourtruth24/7 posts comes to mind
LoLz. All this mark of the beast nonsense una no dey rest?
Every new technology is mark of the beast. Abegi make we hear word.
NerdCat: I'm not sure why this constant mischaracterization of atheism seems to butter your biscuits, but atheism is definitionally one thing: the absence of theistic belief. That's it. Full stop. You should probably consult a dictionary before constructing arguments on foundations made entirely of sand.
Poppycock. In the entire philosophical tradition, strong atheism - the positive claim that no gods exist - is distinguished from weak atheism precisely because they occupy different epistemic territory. There's absolutely no logical basis for collapsing certainty into religiosity. And even if we entertained your baroque little redefinition, "religious in leaning" is doing considerably more intellectual lifting than you are.
Whether or not one distinguishes between spiritual awareness and organized religion is an entirely separate taxonomic question from whether gods exist. That you're latching onto semantic trivialities while the actual argument evaporates around you is rather telling.
And what's with the yawns, btw? Is assembling a coherent argument really that draining for you?
They sound like a petulant child trying to shake off the ridicule of his oversized clown shoes by pointing out how those making fun of them also have shoes. LoLz.
gsegun43: Thank you. I bet there is no challenge anyone can accept. Even the OP here has once promised to deactivate his account here is something didn't happen, lo and behold nothing happen and he couldn't fulfill his promise.
To be fair though he did deactivate that account but he came back. Let's say he resurrected. LoLz!
jesusjnr2020: Perfect Illustration Of How Dangerous It Is To Abuse God's Grace
Jesus warned us that as it was in the days of Lot, so shall the day of His return be. Luke 17:28-30
He also warned us to "remember Lot's wife", so as not to suffer a similar fate on that day. Luke 17:31-32
Lot's wife had the grace of God available to her to use to her benefit and save herself from the destruction imminent upon the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, same as her husband and children.
However she chose to abuse it by disobeying God's Word and "look back".
That was how she instantly turned into a pillar of salt, hence made the grace of God to be of no effect in her life and not save her from destruction.
Therefore anyone who still thinks they could partake of God grace and be saved from the destruction imminent upon the world, despite continuing to live in sin and disobedience to God's Word, should "remember Lot's wife", because that's a dangerous way to use the grace of God.
God bless.
Bro we need the god to turn one of those prosperity preachers into a pillar of salt in front his church cameras. Not all this ancient fairytales. He should do it live on broadcast let's all see it.
TokoEkambi: Talking about insects, I've read of people encountering aliens in the shape of the mantis. Now, I'm not saying aliens exist or don't exist, but I've researched into some compelling reports that sounded credible (e.g that Zimbabwe thingy I referred to earlier). And the way the authorities usually come out with funny denials make them (the authorities) sound as dodgy as hell. I'm a Christian by the way, and I believe there are other creatures that are not in our plane of existence.

Did the Zimbabwe report say they encountered insectoid beings?
I am not a Christian or religious so I don't believe until I have sufficient evidence to think something is true.
TokoEkambi: You should probably have a problem with pictures of planets taken by NASA, as they seem to be spherical just like the earth. Maybe they're not real, and just projections of the human mind to the Earth that it's familiar with?
You don't understand. The humanoid shape is not the only shape the universe has in terms of life. Most celestial bodies on the other hand are spherical because of the nature of gravity. If you want to extend your analogy then the most successful shape is that of insects so aliens should be expected to be insect shaped.
All I am saying our stories show human conceit not a true reflection of reality.
DeepSight: Well there is nothing in terms of outrightly saying that it's extra terrestrials but from the time the videos of the Nimitz incident came out the government has been generally in less denial. Those craft which were plainly seen and videoed from a fighter jet which took off from the USS Nimitz have no known earthly explanation. The best that can be said is that perhaps it's secret military technology but most experts say nothing like that is known to Earth.
Two other famous Navy UFO videos, "Gimbal" and "GoFast," were recorded about a decade later (2014–2015) by pilots stationed on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
Generally however the US govt seems to have softened in it's denials and appears to be moving towards gradually making it known to the population that it's a reality.
As you probably know I hold the position that it is quite possible that aliens exist, but we have not yet gotten sufficient evidence to suggest that they have visited us yet. Obrigado thinks there is, so I want him to show me that evidence.
DeepSight: 'preciate sir. I think of the simulation thread daily. Pardon the long delay reverting with my promised conclusion, its just that as you know, you are a very difficult person to deceive.
DeepSight: Systemic racism in the United States is very real. Those who try to say it isnt are one of the following - plain ignorant or brainwashed far right elements who have bought into the attempt to claim that there is no racism in America and that blacks have suffered nothing. This attempt is so grievous that even the real history of America is something they dont want taught in schools anymore! Its akin to the way the Nigerian Government is against the teaching of history because they don't want the next generation to know the atrocities of the Nigerian Civil War.
Let me use one main example to show you systemic racism - I will use housing. In this, I am going to go back into the 20th century and come up till date, and I must warn you NOT to simply say "oh that is the past" - you know why? Because this thing affects today's reality. For example if I show you how one group of people were enabled to acquire housing easily while it was made extremely difficult for another group, you can clearly see how the latter group will be greatly disadvantaged in the creation of wealth for generations to come - because real estate is capital and it is inherited and those who hold good real estate are more secure generationally than those who dont. Therefore I dont expect you to fail to see how those unfair housing practices have an effect up till today in the disparity between whites and blacks.
I extract those systemic racist housing practices and polices for you below - ------------------
1. Redlining (1930s – 1960s) The Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) created "residential security maps" to assess the risk of mortgages. Black neighborhoods were systematically marked in red—indicating they were "hazardous" for investment.
The Impact: Banks refused to issue mortgages in these areas, regardless of an individual's creditworthiness. This institutionalized segregation and prevented Black families from accessing the low-interest loans that built the American middle class after World War II.
2. Racially Restrictive Covenants Until the Supreme Court ruled them unenforceable in 1948 (Shelley v. Kraemer), many property deeds included legally binding clauses that prohibited the sale or lease of the home to non-white people.
The Impact: These covenants ensured that even if a Black family could afford a home in a burgeoning suburb, they were legally barred from moving in, effectively "locking" them into deteriorating inner-city environments.
3. "Blockbusting" and White Flight Real estate agents often used "blockbusting" tactics, where they would convince white homeowners that Black families were moving into the neighborhood, triggering a panic sale at low prices.
The Impact: Agents then sold those same homes to Black families at inflated prices with predatory terms. As white residents fled to the suburbs, the local tax base eroded, leading to the decline of schools and municipal services in urban centers.
4. Contract Buying Because traditional mortgages were often unavailable due to redlining, many Black families in the mid-20th century turned to "buying on contract." In these arrangements, the seller kept the deed until the very last payment was made.
The Impact: If a buyer missed a single payment, they could be evicted immediately, losing their entire investment and all equity. This was a massive drain on Black wealth, particularly in cities like Chicago.
5. Modern Challenges (1970s – Present) While the Fair Housing Act of 1968 made discrimination illegal, the effects of past policies persist, and new forms of bias have emerged:
Subprime Lending & Predatory Loans: Leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, Black borrowers were significantly more likely to be steered into high-interest subprime loans, even when they qualified for prime rates. This led to a disproportionate wave of foreclosures in Black communities.
Appraisal Bias: Recent studies and news reports have highlighted "appraisal gaps," where homes owned by Black families are valued significantly lower than identical homes in white neighborhoods. In some cases, homeowners have "whitewashed" their houses (removing family photos and having a white friend stand in) only to see the appraised value jump by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Wealth Gap: Because home equity is the primary source of wealth for most American families, decades of exclusion have resulted in a massive racial wealth gap. This makes it harder for current generations to afford down payments without the "intergenerational wealth" (inheritance or gifts) that many white families utilize. ----------------- You see, the USA is a very complicated place which many do not understand and speak from ignorance about. The above alone, in terms of complicated housing discrimination speaks to a great deal. It shows you how a particular demographic has been deliberately impoverished.
And if you know this, and are informed about this, at the minimum, you should shattap immediately with that refrain of "excuses" and "blacks are just lazy" and "blacks just have a bad culture."
Even if you want to hold blacks to higher standards as you claim, it will become irresponsible of you not to recognize and acknowledge all this once you are aware.
It is very much like the case of Francophone West African countries which have been under a hideous choke-hold by France. If you come to know the details of that choke-hold, you will recoil immediately and forever shattap with any claims that such African countries are just lazy and corrupt and thats why they are backward. I am not saying there isnt a problem of corruptioneverywhere there most certainly is - - but once you are informed of the details of what France has been up to in those countries, you will hold your horses on condemning only the Africans. You will see the broader and clearer picture of what has been happening and Ijebos, who you say you dont read, made a good point about this in the case of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic who in recent years took their collective destiny into their own hands.
By the way you should humble yourself and read from Ijebos because he is someone who is very enlightened and one tends to learn from reading from people like that. It would do you a lot of good - I myself learn bits and pieces I would not have known even from dimwits here. That is the nature of learning. Even a child can teach you something, and for the open minded, learning never ends.
So that is very much like the case with black America, anyone who is properly informed on the history, the context and the real situation would not say the things all of you have been saying. I have woken up in a good mood today, so I tell you I am speaking not for adversarial debate when I say most sincerely that all of you who have been bashing black people recklessly do not come across as being well informed on the topic you are discussing. If you had a clue about it, you would be solemn and even astonished about what has transpired to stymie the progress of black people in the states.
Let me add a few references -
1. Decades of Systemic Housing Discrimination Contribute to the Overrepresentation of Black Americans Among the Nation’s Homeless
Now remember as I said, that housing is just one area, even if a significant one. But I have chosen it because real estate is cardinal to building generational wealth. And if you look at the broader picture beyond housing, men, the systemic racism which has impoverished the black minority is unspeakable.
And it is undeniable.
And it is callous to sit back and call these "excuses."
PS: You mentioned BLM. As a principle it is of course on point and resonates. However as an organized movement there were many issues with it, sadly, including financial impropriety with donated funds. Also it unnecessarily tied itself to other causes such as the trans gender movement and in this way came to be seen as anti-traditional family values.
Men I love the way you educate. I hope it gets through.
tctrills: Mr Deepsight, Black lives matters says the nuclear family is white supremacy and systemic racism. Can you name another system in addition to the nuclear family that is racist?
Because the only way these can be changed or fought against is if the are exposed.
Please open my eyes to systemic racism
Bro stop repeat white supremacist talking points you have little to no knowledge of.
DeepSight has done a good work educating you, open your eyes.
soccerlite: All of dem take oath of office with Bible
What I mean is that they are Christian by mouth and all of dem know it's political tool
Using it to boast in their presence is laughable
You said it was outdated so what did you mean by that? There is no conservative politician in the news that doesn't claim to be a Christian. They use it to sing especially during election season.
