they were able to buy things because people have faith in that particular currency at that time.

The biafran currency was used to purchase things in Biafra during the Civil War because the Igbos had faith in it.

But once Biafra collapsed people lost faith in the currency and it is no longer valued as money.

A Nigerian trader will easily accept the American dollar paper note on the street of Nigeria because he has faith in it.

But an American trader will not accept the Nigerian naira on the street of America because he has no faith in it.

It's all faith. Money is by faith.

And that's why I said we all believe in 'stories' just not the biblical ones.

It was trade and barter that was used at that time. Then currency replaced trade and barter. Darn
We have civilizations that predated your “stories” in the Bible.
Even your “stories” were gotten from em Mesopotamia.

lolz.

Money is nothing but faith.


You change your currency when you travel to other countries because they wouldn't accept it as money.

They have no faith in it. They don't believe that if they accept it from you, other people will accept it from them.

That's primarily why you change your currency.

The coins used by Jesus cannot be used to purchase things today because no one have faith in them.

The same way you can use that old N10 note to buy something today. It's still a currency but people no longer believe in it.

Some of us understand things they teach us in school. Not only cram answers to write in exams

Olodo.
Since money is paper and useless, why don’t you use any paper to change it to another currency? Why do you have to use a currency of a particular country to exchange with a currency of another country? If your currency has no value will they ever change it? Will they change a paper into their currency ?
Currency evolved from trade and barter.
How did they buy and sell goods and services before your Jesus was born?
This is what happens when you reason from religion.

Premiumwriter:
this is what happens when you cram things only for exams.

Better than someone that didn’t read, talk less of knowing what to cram.

Premiumwriter:
you are funny.


Money is nothing but faith. Faith that the next person will accept it and give you what you want.

Aside that, it is a worthless piece of paper.

Money is not faith.
Money is a currency.
It evolve from trade and barter into cowries into coins and into paper money .

Paper is not money because it’s a paper. Why don’t you use all papers to pay for bills? Why use a specific currency that was printed into a paper?

all the ideology are brought by blog post?

You think the idea behind money is by blog posts? You think the ideology begind the concept of God is by blog post?

Can you read and comprehend at all or you are just waiting to type blog posts all over the place?

Bros I'm a content creator and a freelance search engine optimization writer. I write blog posts that search engines feed on.

I know a lot more about blog posts than you can imagine.

All the ideology you got from google and that are on google search engine were brought by website and site
Someone uploaded that information to google, google didn’t go looking for it.

Premiumwriter:
oga you are seeing the 'stories' as blog posts.

That is not what I implied when I say stories. In fact, blog posts are the least things I'm talking about.

When I say stories, I'm talking about ideology in our collective minds.

For instance, you can weave stories to human minds and tell them that if they give you 10% of their earnings, God will bless them.

They will accept and believe that story and give you the 10% in the hope of getting a better tomorrow.

But you can't tell a monkey to give you a banana with that same story with the promise of getting a greater return tomorrow.

The concept of corporations is a story in our collective minds. We weave these stories and believe in them.

But a monkey will never believe it, so it is useless to it.

I'm not saying stories in terms of blog posts. I'm using the term figuratively to show how ideology in our collective mind can bring non-existent things to life.

For instance, money as it is is useless. You can't eat the paper. You can't do anything with it.

But our beliefs in it made it valuable. This belief is what I called a story

There are so many things you can’t eat that are valuable and occur naturally in nature.
You should know the history of why trade and barter was converted to currencies.

Google don’t own any content, it’s only a search engine.
And when we think of google as a corporation we also think of his parent company. Because google can’t take any decision without it.

Premiumwriter:
now you are saying rubbish.

Facebook, whatsapp and Instagram are owned by Meta.

Each of them behave as a separate business entity.

WhatsApp have its own shares, Facebook has it owns shares and Instagram has its own shares.

Meta is merely the parent company. You can sue Facebook and it will affect Meta but you cant sue Meta directly for the sins of Facebook.

When they sued Facebook who came to bail it out?

WhatsApp and Instagram were bought by Facebook, and Facebook rebranded to meta the organization.

Who owns Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram? Who owns meta?

Premiumwriter:
seriously. OK let me explain this to you.

I know google is a search engine. But Google is also a corporation.

As a corporation, Google is treated like a human being. It is given human like rights.

For instance, Google as a corporation can cause global warming, Google can take action against people and people can take actions against it.

Google can be taken to court and it can take other people to court. It can hire lawyers to defend its case.

Google can buy and sell. It can employ people and sack them.

Now all these are the qualities and rights ascribe to a human being. But at its core, Google is not a human being. Rather we make up the stories that treat Google like a human being.

This is the same way we treat God. We don't know if God exists or not. But we weave stories around him and give him certain qualities that brings him to existence.

Today God 'owned churches, money and even NGO organizations'.

Compared to Google, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, God is another entity that is a product of our imagination.

Through this imaginations we've created enormous stories around them to bring them to life.

If everyone, everywhere stop believing that Google or Facebook is an entity, then Google can no longer speak or be taken to court. Google will no longer be punished.

Rather it is the people behind them that will be punished for their crimes.


Like who doesn't know that Google is a search engine that gets information from blogs and websites? Who doesn't know how Facebook works? Those are basics.

I'm not talking about their function. I'm talking about the ENTITY called Google, Meta, Twitter and God.

All the “stories” google brings out you can’t sue them for it, they are only a search engine.

Premiumwriter:
the same way you can sue Facebook without suing META.

And you don't sue the owners of a company. You sue the companies. Because the companies are living and breathing entity.

Meta is owned by Facebook, you sue Facebook, you sue META it’s owner.
You sue the companies which is owned by the owner? Are you not suing the owner? Did the company breath and live on his own ? Someone brought it to life.

doubleE70:
lol not at all

That’s what indoctrinated people say.

bros

Google owns over 30 companies. It is in turned owned by alphabet.

Google is not merely a search engine.


Facebook is a social media owned by Facebook recently changed to Meta.

Prior to the change of name would you call Facebook as only a social media platform even when it owns whatsapp and Instagram?

Google is a search engine yes. But Google is also a business entity owing more than 30 other businesses.

YouTube is owned by Google. Motorola is owned by Google, Picasa, where2, Android etc are all owned by Google.

And the Google search engine is owned by GOOGLE.

This GOOGLE in turn is owned by Alphabet.

So, yes you can sue Google without sueing the parent company

The person that owns alphabet is also the one that owns google, so how are you going to sue the owner of google without the owner of alphabet?

Premiumwriter:
Honestly, this is the only meaningful thing you've said since.

ABC is only the parent company. Google still is an entity.

You can sue Google for its crime and not sue ABC.

You are yet to say any meaningful thing.
ABC is owned by google, you can’t sue google without suing ABC.
Google is only a search engine. Can you bring out cases of where google was sued.

Premiumwriter:
damn!

Google is owned by alphabet that’s the organization. You are flawed.
Google is simply a search engine.

Google doesn’t get his information from google, it gets it from blogs and websites. Do you understand?

And google is owned by ABC or so, so that’s the organization you should be talking about not google the search engine.

The only evil is ignorance.

FatherOfJesus:
Souls and spirits don't exist.
No evidence that they do

What do you understand by self mastery?

AntiChristian:
I'm not discussing a derivative "Spirited".

A dog is alive because it has a Soul/Spirit.

How can you be spirited if you don’t have a spirit?
Do you know what “spirited” means?

Premiumwriter:
na wa o.

You and I are as far apart as heaven and earth in in the way we are seeing things. There's no point talking anymore.

You don’t understand what you are saying.
Google create stories? lol. Google is a search engine.. websites and blogs are the one that brings the information..
And I’m sure you know the difference between stories and information, if not why don’t you believe in Greek stories?

Premiumwriter:
Oga I'm talking about the entity called Google.

Think for instance, when people talk about sueing Facebook who do you think they are sueing?

Facebook is not owed by google and What does that got to do with stories? Which stories do Facebook create?

PastorMIsBack:
Thanks for the Bible Study which has no relevance on what I posted

It has. You don’t know the words you are using, you are using it out of ignorance..
Jesus is not christ, he’s one of the christ. Why are you afraid of reality?

AntiChristian:
Proof?

So how is a dog alive if it has no spirit or soul?
Do you know what “spirited” means?

Premiumwriter:
I believe in stories.

It's called faith. It's your choice not to believe. It's mine to believe.

And all our lives is stories. Look at Google. Google is not a real entity with body parts. But the stories we weave around it brought google to life.

Google today can speak, it can issue statements, it can be sued like a human being. Of course you believe in stories but not just the biblical stories.

Please expantiate on why my analogy is false. Don't just drop something without a reasonable backup.

Which stories do google bring ?
Google is a search engine hope you know? We have mamma and others too.

Premiumwriter:
I think every religion permits murder to a certain degree.


Not just the Christian God.


And I also believe you should respect other people's beliefs even if you don't believe or it sounds ridiculous to you.

For all they care, your unbelief is ridiculous to them as well.

I don’t believe in story books, do you?, I only stated what happened in it.
Then your analogy is flawed if are using the “murder” aspect.

Christ means messiah, messiah means the anointed one.
Joshua, Samuel, David, Isaiah and the rest niggas that were anointed in the Bible are messiah.
Christ is a Greek word, and got his derivatives from the hebrew, messiah.

Premiumwriter:
Lolz.

Biblically incest is alright. I know some people will say God permitted it because people were few on earth then.

But ask yourself, did God permit murder because people are plenty now?


Whatever is wrong or right is wrong or right regardless of the amount of people.

Biblically and Quranically, incest is not a sin.

The Christian god permitted murder inside that story book too..

AntiChristian:
In Islam Spirit = Soul. In most cases there's No difference.

A dog has both.

AntiChristian:
I should tell you when i asked you first. I dey come.

Ask me first how? Who brought “allah” into the discussion? You are bringing foreign names you don’t know their origin, what a shame.
See how you are dodging, shows how sure you are of your allah

AntiChristian:
You haven't proven anything about Allah.

Shouldn’t you tell me what is Allah? And where you got it from?
Are you not proud of “Allah”, tell me its origin, is it of Igbo origin?

AntiChristian:
Seems you are confused btw me and my friend here. You discussed "God" with him.

Didn’t you mention “Allah”
Seems you are afraid to defend your Allah.

Even dogs have spirit, that’s why they are spirited.
