It was written in 1300CE, and there is nothing original about it!

Even the Hebrew texts of the Israelites are not original, as Egypt will tell you a different version of the "history" of the Israelites whom they enslaved for centuries.

but they had sex right?

I was never "taught" what you think and I have already hacked my own mind, for that is how one gains understand .

The Orthodox Tewahedo biblical canon does not differ much from the Tanakh, and the messianic idea is a later Christian addition, though it prevailed in most religions before that, likely due to human helplessness.

And the messianic idea in buddhism, which promotes self reliance, is what some buddhist would use to separate fools from their money just as it is in most religions.

And for your information, the Kebra Nagast is not a collection of the original Jewish scriptures; rather, it is a 14th-century Ethiopian national and religious epic compiled in the Ge'ez language around the 1300s to document the legendary founding of the Ethiopian royal line by Menelik.

All history in religious texts are pseudo history from the eyes of their writers for their own nations glory.

Ebenezer2021:
is it true queen Sheba demanded sex from Solomon when she came to visit him

budaatum:
I can only suggest to you that the understanding of the religious ideas that originated whenever differ immensely from the understanding of some.

Take Judaism for instance. You say, written in 1000 BCE, and in the third chapter is it written that "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return". Yet later more recent additions mention a messiah, which in my own opinion contradicts that very verse, though you might yourself not see that a God that refuses to feed me and curses me to be responsible for my own food might also require me to be responsible for my own salvation.

Buddhism teaches The Truth of Suffering (Dukkha). The Origin of Suffering (Samudaya) is caused by craving, grasping, and ignorance. The Cessation of Suffering (Nirodha) (what some see as salvation), is by completely letting go of the cravings and attachments that bind us to dissatisfaction so as to achieve a state of liberation, peace, and enlightenment, known as Nirvana. And the Path to the End of Suffering (Magga) is by following the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of eight interconnected practices that guide ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom.

No where does it claim some messiah will come and save anyone, but as I said, some will be blind or lame or deaf or ill and seek messianic solutions, while some will seek to understand what they are told instead of just believing crap that only enslaves them.

The concept of messianism is not accepted by all in the religions you mentioned, and even in Christianity, some know they themselves are the saviour gods who will "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth" and be blessed with their own salvation.

Please know that I am having this conversation with you because you hack minds. To me it means you first hack your own mind so as to understand, and have done so regarding religions too.

Why should I Check which are the oldest religions?

Does age somehow relate to understanding?

Atum was worshipped throughout the majority of Ancient Egyptian history, from predynastic times through the Roman period. His worship peaked during the Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BCE), when he was the supreme creator god.

budaatum:
This depends on understanding, as the concept of messianism is contrary to the same buddhism that suggests that you yourself possess the tools for your own salvation.

I'd even go further and suggest that messianism is a misunderstanding in Christianity, since one is advised to carry ones own cross. But as Christ is written to have taught, "the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised", and the understanding of the message is only understood by those who seek it with all their hearts and souls and minds and beings, (according to the baur, which differs to mosts).

Former street seller celebrates newfound rights after debacle in claiming €500,000 scratchcard prize while undocumented

A Nigerian man who won €500,000 in an Italian lottery – but was barred from collecting his windfall because he was undocumented – said the hardship of his more than decade-long immigration journey had been eased after he was finally granted a residency permit.

“I’ve been praying for this moment ever since I arrived in Italy,” said Imagbe Ehizomwengie, 36. “It’s a huge relief. You might think it’s incredible, but receiving the permit means more to me than winning the money. I want to work and contribute to society.”

Ehizomwengie bought the €5 Gratta e Vinci – Italy’s official instant scratchcard lottery – last October with money scraped together from selling handkerchiefs and begging outside a supermarket in Turin.

He cried tears of joy and relief when he discovered he had hit the jackpot, only for the win to be overshadowed by his bureaucratic quagmire.

Speaking to the Guardian, Ehizomwengie said he had arrived in Italy in 2016 after a treacherous journey across the Mediterranean from Libya, where he had been held captive for two years and was only released after a ransom was paid.

His request for a “special protection” permit – which until being restricted by Giorgia Meloni’s far-right government in 2023 granted residency to asylum seekers who did not qualify as refugees but faced serious risks to their life if sent home – was rejected.

Unable to work, Ehizomwengie got by as a street seller, occasionally chancing his luck with scratchcards in the hope of reversing his fortunes.

“When I lived in Nigeria, I was always praying for opportunities, but they never came,” he said. “But you also need to take risks in life, and I kept believing that one day I might even become a millionaire.”

He added: “I stopped buying the scratchcards for years but on the day I won … I truly believe God was watching over me.”

But then began his quest to claim his winnings. Without a residency permit, Ehizomwengie could not open a bank account to receive the money. In turn, without the money he could not demonstrate the financial independence needed to support his renewed appeal for a residency permit.

Scrambling for a solution, after being taken advantage of by a Nigerian friend to whom he had entrusted the money, the friend agreed to transfer about half of the post-tax winnings to Ehizomwengie’s cousin’s account. The funds were then used to buy Mama Africa, a shop selling food produce from Africa in the seaside town of Falconara in the Marche region of Italy.

In the meantime, Ehizomwengie’s lawyer, Andrea Palazzeschi, pursued his case through a court in Ancona, which this week ordered that a residence permit be issued, taking into consideration Ehizomwengie’s competent Italian, his work at Mama Africa and, pertinently, his new financial independence.

Palazzeschi said: “But it’s important to stress that Imagbe didn’t get the residence permit because he won the money, he got it because he proved to be a good candidate.”

Gratta e Vinci scratchcards are hugely popular in Italy. In 2019, an unemployed fisher in Puglia found a winning €100,000 scratchcard in a rubbish bin and was able to cash it in, while in 2022 a young man in northern Italy won €500,000 and fainted on the spot due to the shock.

Needless to say, Ehizomwengie has attracted much attention in Falconara, where he said he would organise a party to which everyone will be invited. “But only to celebrate receiving my permit,” he said. “I want to work and intend to keep my feet firmly on the ground. I just want to live a normal life.

Kaczynski:
He's just like every guy in tech, Bill joy tops whatever this guy did.

People that created something ,these guys have no degrees eg dennis ritches, richard stallman, linus torvalds etc.

If linus torvalds was naive like this tim guy, Minix would be far ahead of Linux, Linux would just be dead.

Kaczynski:
Degrees does not mean anything, i have seen people with cs degrees but they don't know whats a hash table. Imagine a doctor that cannot carry out a surgery . Most professions are more of practical than theory. People are gradually waking up to see degrees means less. In the US you'd see high schoolers get tech jobs more than Phd holders.


Which IT project failed?? The tech industry in nigeria is still in its infancy.



Degrees are good if one is into academia and likes to do more research into what ever interests him.

In the late 90s people were getting hired on irc and bbs, no one cared if you had a degree or not . The important thing was whether you deliver or not.

Kaczynski:
Thats just tech and companies in nigeria and some third world countries.

atilla:
No, wearing two condoms at once is not safer.
In fact, it is actually riskier because of friction between the 2 condoms. Don't learn this the hard way oh bros

Kaczynski:
Wrong

Take it from a person who have been in the game for a decade and seen the loopholes and crannies of the system.

Real world experience is what you done that benefitted that company or project. Could be rewriting the api docs for graphene os and making it accesible to normies.

It's more of show working than talk. Most companies hire based on workings ,it's only companies in nigeria that are obssesed with certs and degrees.

That's i prefer companies that are abroad, hiring is based on merit and pay is very good especially if you are living in nigeria.

Kaczynski:
Most companies tend to exagerate on their job postings.

Thats why you need to show your projects or what you accomplished. Include that in resume, could be that PR you pushed to Asterisk.

Kaczynski:
It means you need have xperience with building systems.

A kernel engineer can easily apply for voip roles. The bar is to high for normies to enter.
With my knowledge of Erlang i can apply for a voip role even though i know a little about voip.

Glassdoor and indeed has more jobs but 90% are abroad. In Nigeria the jobs are lesser.

Very Strange Experience With My Father. Should I Be Worried?

Hello guys.. the background behind this story is lenghty so to spare you the trouble ill jump straight to the point. My father though he has his flaws is a very religious and i dare say principled man in some aspects.n He never misses church service. Went to bible school. At one point he was even a house fellowship leader. He prays and fast often.

So on this day i was standing in the doorway to my dads room. He wanted to send me on an erand ''i think'', so he opened his wardrope to get to get the money. Immediately he opened his wardrop i saw a BAT...yes BAT hanging upside down right there in his wardrope. In shock i jumped and shouted

''daddy see bat see bat !!!''.

Guess what he did. He simply smiled and gently closed his wardrope. I have never been this confused. I saw a bat hanging upside down in his wardrop and all he did was smile and gently closed the door. I don't know what to make of it. I have already concluded, there is no way on earth this is from God. Up until this time i have never seen a bat up close in real time. The closest ive been was watch them on television. Contemplate how scared and confused i am now. I picked up an excuse and ran out of the house to go stay with my relative..its been a week since i left and im still too scared to go back.

What do you folks make of this? How can a man who prays and fast and attends bible school have a BAT in his wardrope. WTF !!

Theres a part two and this one is about my mother.
