njelrapheal: I will like to take on this. I align to a possibility of some spiritual scam. But that does not negate that there is no spirituality of some sort
How would you differentiate a spiritual effect from a natural effect you didn't previously know about?

Renowned Nigerian preacher Apostle Joshua Selman has addressed societal and religious pressures around marriage, stating that choosing to remain single will not condemn anyone to hell. Speaking during a sermon, he urged people not to marry out of fear or obligation, but rather by conviction and purpose.
Is it because he is not married himself?
I won't be surprised if we hear he is involved in some scandal or the other.
OLAADEGBU: “We must hear from those who aided and abetted this farce."
House Oversight Chairman James Comer is demanding that former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and three other former top White House staffers testify regarding the alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s mental decline.
LoLz.oh you removed the autopen thing. Bwahahahahahaha!
OLAADEGBU: Rep. James Comer calls on former White House Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre and three former Biden aides to testify in an investigation of the Biden team's autopen use.
"As part of our aggressive investigation into the cover-up of his cognitive decline and potentially unauthorized executive actions, we must hear from those who aided and abetted this farce."
Brazino: I have a cousin(f) who lives in Delta state and works for a man. I think she works as a housemaid or something, she's my second cousin actually, and we have not seen or talked to each other on the phone for nearly 18yrs now. She's a distant relative.
I was told she stole her Boss' Money and ran from Delta to the village. We are from cross River State. When she returned home, she was everywhere flaunting her possessions and spending with reckless abandon right in the Village. A typical village where there's no light or mobile network.
Her mum was never bothered to ask her daughter how she made such amount of money by just merely working as a house girl. I heard she stole over 2MILLION naira. Her dad is late and she's the favorite child of her mum despite being the overall last child of over ten siblings from three wives.
When she finished squandering the money, she left the village and returned to same Delta State, and in less than a week, she ran into her former employer whose money she had earlier stolen. The man used Jazz to lure her back to the City. He confessed to it. Immediately this cousin of mine was arrested and locked up. When the village uncles were informed about her arrest in Delta state, the mum began to cry and she pleaded with her late husband's kinsmen to rescue her daughter.
Truth is, these villagers have never seen or touched 200k in their entire lives, so it is absolutely impossible for them to raise that money and pay back. They are all peasant farmers living in total poverty.
There's a very strong Deity in my village that is capable of solving almost all issues, especially issues of this kind where someone is in police net or about been sentenced to prison for a crime. This Deity when consulted, has the potency to overrule every judgement, once you get the jazz, travel to where the case is ongoing, go straight to the person in charge of the case and order him/her to release the suspect, the instructions would be obeyed instantly. It hypnotizes.
My uncle and another man want to go and get the jazz so they can travel to Delta State and get my cousin released. She's already been remanded. Now, the downside of this jazz is that after it has finished doing the job you instructed it to do, it will make you forget, like format your brain and make you forget to go back and appreciate it right in the shrine. It only needs a local female fowl. Just that. But after it works, you will completely forget ever using the services of the Deity and when that happens, it takes your own life in place of the fowl. It always needs blood. It gives me jobs as well. My uncle and another relative are planning on getting this jazz tommorow and I've done everything to discourage him But no way. I've sent others to him to discourage him but no way. I'm not in the village and even reaching them via calls is a big issue cos there's no network there. No mast. There's almost no way that one of two people going to get that jazz will not die. One of them will definitely kpai as soon as the jazz finish doing its job. And it is the person who stretches his hand to collect the jazz in the shrine that will die. Even the second person will forget to remind the other person to go back and appreciate the Deity.
My own dad is late and this is happening in my maternal village, my mum is unable to stop her brother from embarking on this dangerous adventure.
It gives you jobs but it kills other people. This is how you people tell nonsense tales and cause people to go looking for money making rituals.
Image123: Great point, you should search the backyard. i am not the one looking for hell, you're the one that didn't find it na. i say don't give up, don't say it doesn't exist BECAUSE you didn't find it. You've not looked well enough, simply believed.
LoLz. Looking for a myth? You must be confusing me for someone else. You are the one who believes it so you are the one who needs to show where it is.
Image123: The Earth is made out of many things. Deep inside Earth, near its center, lies Earth's core which is mostly made up of nickel and iron. Above the core is Earth's mantle, which is made up of rock containing silicon, iron, magnesium, aluminum, oxygen and other minerals.
The sun is composed of layers made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium.
By this Google search, we can confirm that neither Reed, Nigeria, internet or cars are in the Earth.
LoLz. Quit trolling you are terrible at it. We are not in the earth, we are on it.
Image123: We know what makes up the sun, not what is in the sun. Our perception is that due to heat and radiation, there's no life in the sun or on the sun. We believe this, not that we have evidence to support it. It's simply our limited reasoning because we think life is only as we know it on earth. The clear point is stated, you can beg the question and generalize all you want. Your ignorance and insufficient evidence cannot be used to assert a statement of fact. i was very right when i mentioned your inadequate Google map search.
LoLz! This is too funny. We know what is in the sun. Google it. You tell me what part of the sun is containing your pit of hell.
Your ignorance and insufficient evidence are what cannot be used to support a myth.
Image123: i picked the obvious sun to show you that you have not searched hard enough. The sun that everyone sees every day, you are making assumptions about it, how much more where you have never been? Man is still attempting to reach Mars but here you are, concluding that a place doesn't exist because you didn't find it on Google maps?
LoLz. I already showed you that you are merely trolling. We know what is in the sun. You show us that there is something else in the sun apart from what we know is in there.
Is this where you are now? Attempting to use ignorance to support your religious beliefs? Bwahahahahahahaha!
Image123: Errm, the Bible doesn't talk about souls and spirits being burnt, it teaches eternal torment. You said that hell has never been seen or located at any point in space. You've obviously not checked the sun to come to your conclusion. So where did you check, Google maps?
LoLz. Why did you pick the sun if not because of the heat?
It has never been located because if it was you would have been one of the first to tell us it was in the sun. Meanwhile we know what the sun is made of so unless you actually know that souls and spirits are being tormented in the sun I think you are just trolling.
LoLz. Na wa you wan start atilogun dance bah? Why did you mention the sun if you weren't referring to the capacity of the heat to burn? So hell is no longer about burning bah? Bwahahahahahahaha!
DeepSight: . . . . .But is very useful to frighten and control weak minded people.
Quite often clergy are smarter than you think.
Remember the quote attributed to Pope Leo X - "It has served us well, this myth of Christ."
There are many Pastors who know everything they say is a lie, but say it for strategic reasons. There are even atheists in the college of cardinals.
Oh I know it is a useful control mechanism. I lost my fear of hell long before I became an atheist. I think it helped liberate my reasoning that lack of fear.
DeepSight: To one extent or the other, frankly it seems almost unavoidable to me that that is the case.
Be it spiritual gods, extra-terrestrial "gods" or even as suggested in "the Matrix" series of films - a super advanced cosmic AI system.
If you look at the nature of reality carefully, everything is a cycle of energies and one thing is always feeding another thing.
The kind of spiritual power inherent in human beings and particularly their unique consciousness in cosmic terms is highly suggestive of a cosmic feeding cycle which nourishes advanced consciousness.
Compared to the universe the earth is too tiny to be a coveted source of energy. Besides if these cosmic overlords wanted to farm us for energy why the rigmarole? We farm other animals for energy and we don't do it with any kind of subterfuge. Plus there is the fact that the vast reaches of space means there should be a lot more sentient life out there being farmed yet we are not seeing signs of anybody else out there.
OLAADEGBU: What obligation do you have to propagate the truth when your premises is based on lies from the pit of hell?
LoLz. Where is this so called pit of hell? In your backyard?
The truth promotes a better understanding of the world around us. Your lies and hypocrisy promote a false picture of the universe, like your mythological pit of hell that has never been seen or located at any point in space.
OLAADEGBU: “Nobody was shot, nobody was killed, get it into your head,” the 86-year-old told reporters with a completely straight face. https://trib.al/wyHo48g
