boron10: With our shabby defense and midfield mediocrity plus attack that may not likely pose threat to the opposition defense, I think Nigeria should make do with third place match. Keshi will sure have an excuse of team rebuilding .

So I predict South Africa Vs Ivory Coast final(If both teams avoid each other at the quarter final stage and semi final).

We are okay with our usual Golden Bronze o jare

Leadn: now pastors are shagging "famously dumped"?!

Next she'll carry the biggest bible and become Pastor "Mrs"... SMH!

Napolitano: Ronaldo deserves it.

hrmkz: Messi d favourite.
Ronaldo too selfish a player.
Would love Iniesta to win just for his contribution to the game.

eriegua83: Leonel MESSI the play station

afam4eva: This may not be a lie because i wonder why Nigeria was not able to beat the same North Korea in the world cup proper.

Seun: In other words, a religious person who sins is not religious? I don't think that position stands up to any scrutiny.

Jesus said anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery with her in his heart, which is a sin. Does that mean any straight Christian guy who comes across a picture or video of an attractive lady who is sexily dressed and has a normal biological desire for the woman is not religious? Any man watching a beauty pageant or a typical Hollywood movie, or who comes across a lady who is dressed to kill is not religious? Suppose the best Christian in Nigeria, Pastor E.A. Adeboye is preaching and in a moment of weakness he notices an skimpily dressed lady in his audience and likes what he sees, does that mean he is not religious?

What about lying? The bible says all liars shall be cast into hell, which means it's a sin. And yet, when people people like you are having heated arguments with atheists, you tend to tell some exaggerations, half-truths, and outright lies in the heat of the moment, just to defend the Lord. Does that mean you and others like you are not religious?

Maybe what you're saying is that a religious person ceases to be religious whenever he sins and then becomes religious again when he repents. That means at any point in time, there is no way of knowing who is religious and who is not religious. That makes the word essentially useless. Perhaps we should stick to the dictionary definition, eh?


Nobody can be trusted to tell the truth no matter what. There is no way of differentiating between the rare species of "good Christian" and "good Muslims", who presumably always tell the truth, and the garden variety. If a person claims to be a Christian, or a Muslim, you have no reason trust his word any more than you would trust an atheist or agnostic because he/she may not be a "true Christian" or "true Muslim". So there's no reason to believe that people who claim to be religious are more trustworthy than atheists or agnostics, because there is no way of knowing for sure that they are "truly" religious.

Personally, I think telling the truth in every situation isn't necessarily a good idea. There are situations where it's arguably more moral to lie. Suppose a little Christian child is about to die, and his/her sole consolation is the hope that she would be going to heaven. Even as an atheist, I don't think that would be a good time to tell her the truth. If he/she asks me about heaven, I'll say "yes, it's real"

Suppose you're trying to smuggle bibles into a country where Christians are being rounded up and killed. And the customs officer at the border asks you if you're carrying any contraband. If you say yes, or refuse to answer, you will be searched, the bibles will be found and burnt, and you would be killed. Hundreds of souls that could have been saved would be lost. Would you be honest and say yes? Or say no to further the gospel?

Seun: @truthislight:
You have claimed that a "slave" in the new testament is more-or-less a hired labourer or employee rather than a piece of property to be bought and sold and forced to do whatever his/her owner wants him to do. Can you explain the following bible verses, then?

"Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him" - Acts 7:9
They sold him into ... Hired labor? Employment? How does a person get sold into a voluntary job?

"You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings." - 1 Corinthians 7:23
If a slave is simply a hired labourer or servant, why is it bad to become a slave? Is it wrong for a Christian to be employed?

"We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” - John 8:33
What does "we have never been slaves" mean. Does it mean they had never been employed? And why are they implying that a person who needs to be freed must be a slave? If slaves in the new testament are voluntary labourers, why do they need to be "set free"?
