So why chatting with people who believe (trust) when you have no reason to trust?  LoLz! So you only trust those who you can read their minds? Bwahahahahaha! |

olaolaking: I am a Christian, but I actually think we are the problem. I have issues with many of my friends on this but in reality, they have not been able to convince me with the facts available.
I remember when Islamic Bank was introduced by Lamido. They claimed the nomenclature was wrong and I asked if they were in competition with Muslims since the nomenclature would not affect the functions and those who will benefit from the bank.
Please note that this topic is not about who win the argument. It is about the truth, the facts
Please be sincere in your submission. Give us facts, convince us with proofs
This thread is also not for the immature and myopic once. Please be guided
The issue of Religious Bigotry did not start from the North - George Udom
Let's go back to 1962, when a Northern Muslim, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa registered Nigeria as a member of the World Council of Churches and International Bible Society in 1963, no complain from the Muslim North.
Saturday was a working day in Nigeria until 1973, Gowon, a Christian minority from the North declared it a work free day, to enable the Seventh Day Adventist Church to worship, no complain from the Muslim North.
In February 1979, Olusegun Obasanjo denied Ahmed Deedat, an Islamic Preacher, entry into Nigeria, no complain from the Muslim North.
In 1982 pope John Paul II was welcomed to Nigeria by a Muslim, Alhaji Shehu Shagari.
Reinhart Bonke, a Christian Crusader, had a free enterance to Nigeria at will, no complain.
Abacha welcomed Pope John Paul and established Papal Square along Kubwa express way, no complain from Muslims.
But in 1986 when Babangida registered Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) there was a riot in Lagos, Portharcout, Enugu, orchestrated and organised by CAN.
Pls who are the Religious Bigots?
Just recently, the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs distanced itself from all kinds of politics, but what about CAN?
In 2013, a Private Jet belonging to the CAN President was intercepted in South Africa loaded with foreign currency, imagine it belonged to the Sultan?
So people of God, let's ask ourselves who are the real Religious Bigots before make another major mistake as a people. As much as you state facts I personally do not want any religion involved in state affairs. Live and let live, practice your religion but do not hinder other people from theirs or become a detriment to your society. In that light I don't see much of a difference between Christians and Muslims. Both tend to be invasive in other peoples business. What is the Muslim's business in if people want to drink alcohol or if people want to cut their hair in a certain fashion? What is your business if gay people want to marry? Most of the things Christians and Muslims make noise about have no bearing on their individual practice of their religion, to me it just seems to be an effort at playing dominance games. |

No where does he act on his belief thereby confirming the truth of this quote

Unfortunately, it's is a different case if ONE bacteria out of a million decided to commit genocide against other bacteria in the colony: this would be EVIL! Wilgrea7 has repeatedly said he is not an atheist. |

LordAdam16: All of LDR has been liberated. That is an SMO goal that has been met. Connecting Crimea to mainland Russia through a Mariupol land bridge is another SMO goal that has been met.
Liberating DPR is the next goal. It's around 60% completed. Kherson is in the process of being fully integrated into Russian polity. They already use rubles there and anyone can acquire a Russian passport expeditely. Up next is Nikolaev and Kharkov, after which is the prime target Odessa to landlock Ukraine. But the primary military objective atm is liberating the DPR.
All of this is done with less than 15% of Russia's standing army. Mostly National Guard, LDPR militia, and select special forces units.
Stop brownnosing your White masters. Nothing on this planet will stop Russia's steady advance as it is deliberate. Not even terrorist attacks like Darya's and shelling the Zap Nuclear Plant to provoke a reaction.
BTW, have you seen the car queues of folks leaving Kiev or noticed the curfew imposed in Kharkov. The sh*theads are expecting a retaliation while investigation is still in progress. Oh and Nakonechny, a senior SBU officer was killed yesterday. His wife was killed as well. Pretty sure any kids were also neutralized. And that's before the official Kremlin investigation is done.
As I said earlier, entire bloodlines will be erased over Darya's death.
-Lord Where did you get the news that Nakonechny's wife and children were killed? |

AntiChristian: I read online (Wikipedia and several other sources) that the Original manuscript of the New testament did not survive?
Why and how is this possible?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_manuscript (Under "Dating" )
It was this same KJV that Bishop Àjàyí Crowder translated to Yoruba with all the defects! And other languages have their version. Relatively few books before the advent of printing and more sophisticated methods of literary preservation have survived in their original form. The way it was done it the old days was to copy them to a fresh scroll because the previous one was degrading. It's not hard to figure out that the original manuscripts of the new testament also similarly must have degraded. |

triplechoice: I understand the reason you have shared the above link. It is to support the idea that out of NDE or OBE are not real or are a product of hallucination. If you read the report you'd have seen that the authors think NDEs are indicative of something transcendent so no that is not why I linked it. I linked it so that you can example to me how in your view a blind person can have OBEs or NDEs if they can't see. Does their consciousness or mind or whatever it is that leaves the body have eyes or how does it perceive the environment? A blind person cannot see the environment but if the OBE or NDE were actually real then they should be able to see the environment right? I am asking because that is not what is in evidence from this report. |

triplechoice: The bacterial footprint found in the saliva is effect created by what goes on in the mind of those suffering from PTSD.
A diseased mind results in a diseased body and vice versa.
The mind is not something that is tangible or is it something located in a physical space inside of us. It's location is similar to our dream world that we experience each time we go to sleep, and it's known that what happens in our dreams sometimes affects our physical bodies through the brain.
While dreaming, we are most times drawn in to experiencing in pictures the thoughts inside our minds or brains if you prefer that, with what is experienced not viewed by others but ourselves alone..
So in summary, it should be understood that the mind is the inner mental construct that serves the being which has occupied a human body. It is not something tangible, neither is it located in a physical space inside anyone At death, mind is dissolved but memories contained in mind is retained in what is called the root consciousness, the real being.
It is for this reason some persons can recall memories of their previous lives in a new body. Everyone who has lived before can recall their previous lifetime if they choose to. There are methods one can use to have this recall, and with what is recalled subjected to some validation to ensure the individual is not just imagining things as a past life recall. Why would a diseased mind produce a diseased body, what's the link if the mind is just some intangible thing nor is it located in body? |

Afromentalist: I read the article, and it actually suggests the opposite. Very often do blind people report having visual NDEs and OBEs. I stand to be corrected. From page 146 of the report: The story of Sarah implied that she really could see during her NDE, in the way that a sighted person might. We have shown this is an unwarranted inference. What seemed like an analog to physical sight really was not when examined closely. |
