One of the many religious delusions handed down to us is that things will and should go well for good people and the wicked should meet a miserable end. In reality, this is not always true and many at times, the reverse is so much case. The focus given to the questions "why do good things happen to bad people?" and "why do bad things happen to good people?" rather than the questions "why do good things happen to good people?" & "why do bad things happen to bad people?" is a testament to the sincere observation and acknowledgement, by christians and other religious folks, that the bolded really does happen. More importantly, to some extent, it is a testament to our innate sense of justice and logical conclusion that a "righteous" man backed by a loving all powerful god should be blessed and justice must be unfailingly served on his behalf. Truth is that success and tragedy are no respecter of one's character and nature (be it good or bad). We are all bounded by laws of nature and cause and effect irrespective of character and nature therefore if the right thing is done, irrespective of your character and nature, you get the right result. If the wrong thing is done, the consequences are reaped regardless of who you are. There is no god that cares and intervene in our lives, you are on your own and you have to learn to do the right thing to get the right results. Luck and tragedies beyond human control also don't not discriminate against the good and wicked and that's because ALL are bounded by the laws of nature & cause and effect. To think life shall be easy because you are kind hearted or/and faithfully religious is a folly that should be discarded. -Terminal cancer, untimely death, ALS, HIV, assassination, poverty, educational and career misfortune, bereavement, addiction etc. have happened to both good and bad in all age brackets. -Riches, lottery wins, educational and career fulfilment, good health etc. have happened to both the good and bad. Take a look at the life of religious people and irreligious people, there is no significant difference. Some religious folks are rich as well as some irreligious folks are rich and within each group, you have good and bad people. Thats because they did the right thing and the right conditions were met. Some religious folks are swimming in poverty as well as some irreligious folks and within each group, you have good and bad people. Man in his natural state is bounded by the laws of nature and cause and effect and becoming religious doesn't eliminate or significantly decreases your odds in life. To succeed and be fortunate, the right things have to be done and the right conditions must be met regardless of your nature and religion. These right things and right conditions remains the same and does not change or become easier if you are religious or/and a good person eg. To pass an exam, you must read, understand and successfully retain and this remains the only path(and it doesn't change) irrespective of your nature and religion. Hope we have learnt. ![]() |
If you smoke marijuana very often, you stand the risk of addiction and have long lasting cognitive and emotional problems. You should forget the third eye nonsense and get a life. All that you need is bound to and doesn't exceed your mind and physical environment. |
If you are doing jamb, here are the recommended textbooks that tremendously worked for me in just one sitting. 1) new school chemistry (Ababio) & lamlard chemistry. Read new school chemistry first to get a good grasp of O-level and then read lamlard to completely refine your knowledge on chemistry. If there is no time on your hand, get your syllabus and for each topic read but textbooks together( new school chemistry first then lamlard). 2) Modern biology with past questions. I don't know if latests edition would be good because from what I have heard Nigerian authors have made some "unfavourable imput". Modern biology will give you a comprehensive knowledge of O-level biology. Modern biology was splendid for me. If you want to conserve. However if you are not interested in comprehensive details and you want to go straight to the point, go for essential biology. To me, modern biology is the best. |
BUSHHUNTER:That's one of the ways religion poisons everything. If she knew that all these religious stuffs were ridiculous garbages and falsehoods with no basis in reality, she would have been realistic, say what they wanted her to say and she did carry on with her life peacefully. Most of the people hailing for her faith, probably even Omokri himself, wouldn't try such. Hope she drops such folly. |
enilove:When you put it like this, it becomes so unclear what to expect, outcome-wise, as such statement covers up the possible success and failure of a divine prophecy. It's like a coup de grace. This is what you did expect from a prophecy of absolute human origin, especially from mere mortals(clergymen) who make up prophecies and claim they are from god(who actually doesn't exist). |
festwiz:I am honoured.

I would 6 & 1 together. Be your brother's keeper. ![]() |
lanrexdo:I know that some of them want it but what happens in the bedroom should remain in the bedroom. I don't remember the woman in question being his girlfriend or wife. If she likes it then no problem. |
This butt reminds of newspapers used to wrap bole(roasted plantain), these papers leave me speechless and I don't know what useful thing to do with them. NB: I am high on weed. |
phemmyfour:Lol. From my experience, hustle like this, sometimes, na last resort. |
UncleJudax:If she likes it then no problem. ![]() |
Girls work hard so no man would do something like this to you. ![]() |
festwiz:Even worse is a female Muslim claiming that Islam supports women equalities and respects women's rights. ![]() |

vaxx: lol. I ask again why didn't the gods back the innocent and eliminate the greedy and treacherous blacks and white monsters? |

"God helps those who help themselves" and "faith without works is dead" are the two most thoughtless statements given by idiots and/or crooked men to absolve god of any blame and responsibilities when it comes to unanswered prayers, failure and tragedy. How can an organism with a well developed brain posit that a tribe did nothing to help themselves? Even if a few were the only ones willing to fight, why weren't the gods behind them to eliminate the black traitors and white monsters? Oh, the gods are the side with more numbers and sophisticated weapons? ![]() People who say "God helps does who help themselves" and "faith without works is dead" are either dubious or lack the IQ to effectively spot cause and effect with two or more given factors to consider. Vaxx, I am disappointed in you. This is what I would have expected from Oga butterfly. ![]() |
If you ask James to list one racist thing Trump has done, he would be speechless or say something nonsensical. His has been listening to too much fake and biased news. SMH. |
Nice thread. I have investigated many Nairaland dream interpreters and they give varying answers and couldn't tell that I was lying. ![]() |

jesmond3945:Of course, we always settle for less in Nigeria that's why people don't fight for their right and a better life from their leaders instead they are happy to get by. |
adebayal:you also forgot two cases: 1) it could be one million today and still be one or more million tomorrow. 2) it could be 50k and still be 50k or less tomorrow. Life can be dicey, it's safe to remain single if you have 60k as monthly salary. Let's be realistic and discourage marital gambling. |
justy15:Why the Bleep you lying?
|
Earthbound:True talk. You spoke my mind. |
jesmond3945:Many Nigerian bloggers are lazy, pathetic liars and annoying deplorables that lack creativity. |
sonmvayina:Can you list one of these Jewish parables and the Jew that wrote it? |
OkaiCorne:gbam! |
pocohantas:Ah! Female bosses can be naughty o. |
