Ditch your girlfriend and the church and you'll save enough money to buy (another) property in no time.

Win, win.

Crazy people should be banned from procreating.

This is a good thing.

OBlaize:
You are still rambling

But in a way I get where you are coming from

Man has wreaked a lot of havoc all in the name of "religion" but religious or no, the facts still remains, there is a God and I will prove it with sound scientific evidences if you would let me.

That you are not Aware of any scientific backings of creation does not dismiss its existence.

Open your eyes and look around you, nothing happens by chance because to every action, there is a reaction.

First law of motion states that "every objects continues in its state of rest untill a force acts upon it.

Think about that

Rambling:
Lengthy and digressive

rambling - (of e.g. speech and writing) tending to depart from the main point or cover a wide range of subjects; "amusingly digressive with satirical thrusts at women's fashions among other things"; "a rambling discursive book"; "his excursive remarks"; "a rambling speech about this and that"

My response was a few lines, as opposed to yours. Now tell me again who is rambling.

I will probably keep saying this until the day I die but my major gripe with many religious people is that I'm pretty sure that many of you have not read the religious texts on which you claim to stake your lives upon. It's either that or you do not understand the language in which the text is written. You have already displayed a poor grasp of English, your use of the adjective 'rambling' to describe my response would be more appropriate to describe your own lengthy tome.

There is no scientific backing for your god(s). None. You do not need 'faith' if you have proof. Even the Catholic Church has to push people to believe based on faith, if they had proof they would be ramming that down the throats of the foolish masses instead of their centuries old dogma.

deeplow:
It isn't the fault of the givers, it is of the takers. The bible supports tithe (to the best of my knowledge) and whatever worthy donations to the cause of the Lord. I just don't often hear enough preachings, as to how the Lord has directed the pastors to "use" these tithes and donations.

if the money they get is well spent on the poor and betterment of the people, it wouldnt be an issue.

But what do I know? Touch not my annointed, they say.

The givers have a duty unto themselves not to be taken advantage of by those in authority.

If there are 300 members and only one pastor where does (or should) the power lie?

The pastor needs them to pay tithes. They should understand that they do not need him.


P.S.

am not surprise, its only a Blackman that stay hungry and give his salary to a fat pastor

No,

The Catholic Church grew to be the monster that it is now on the backs of European peasants.

90% women anywhere would fail.

OBlaize:
Interesting...

I like minds like yours...

Minds that thinks so rationally and so "outside the box" that its stuck in the clouds, no pun intended.

As pertinent as it may seem to help bring u back to earth, I would in the light of "common sense" refrain from doing so, reasons being that I am not sure wheter or not you are open to sound resoning and logic or you are stuck on "claims" and blind arguments.

That being said I would still give a few pointers to better butress my points, there is a God, and he created all things, my proof? Science.

Let me know if your are scientifically inclined to listen to the facts and I would go further to argue my point

There is no proof of god - religious people would not need to run around screaming, abusing and killing people because of their 'faith'.

Faith, by default, would entail a lack of scientific proof.

The church itself is a scam.

This shouldn't surprise anyone.

The Catholic church used to sell 'indulgences'.

Pastors today sell prayers.

Nothing new here.

Money is their true god.

The pastor knows it.

The members know it.

OBlaize:
Come up with facts and figures, other wise just blow whistle instead of uttering philosophical mumbo jumbos.

You believe in a god for which you have no proof.

Many of you 'god fearing' types follow religious creeds where you are openly told to rely on 'faith' and not ask questions but you demand that everyone else come up with evidence.

It is for the claimant to show proof of the claim. Otherwise the default position is to dismiss the claim.

You fail to be logical because you (like billions others) have been brainwashed into believing it is your duty to defend the irrational.

I just lost my lunch.

I didn't need to see this crap.

For what purpose?

[quote author=ifekemmie post=31397835][/quote]If it is a 'god given gift' then why should you be made to hide it?

Do you not claim to be in god's house?

Why would he be upset with something that he supposedly gave you?

rago:
i cant condemn u bro. m very sure this God Himself cant.

i was once in ur shoes....it was back and forth...i mean it tuk me lots of time, efforts to get to realy no its there.

bro, m interested in knowing and talking to u about it..pls gv me a chance.

How can you go back and forth with no proof?

You assume that the theory is false until the claimants can show it is true.

ifekemmie:
Good news, we shld be able to differentiate btw house of God n club. Men n women wearing indecency dress since 1809BC,

What is 'indecent' when you live in the tropics?

When it is hot it makes sense to wear less clothing.

It is insane to cover yourself up as if you are trying to withstand a harsh European winter when the reality is that it is 30 degrees celcius outside and humid.

With all the self hatred that I see on this forum this thread is needed.

Good job OP.

Good thread, we need to get behind our own league.

mulattoclaro:
good. I'm happy you know that. A democratic regime comes along with freedom of speech and expression. But the fact there's freedom of speech and expression doesn't give anyone the right to insult the highest authority in the land. Freedom of speech and expression doesn't give anyone the right to talk the way he or she likes. A president's office is the most difficult office on earth. Do you think it's easy being a president? Those idiots on nairaland who always spew trash if given the opportunity to govern this affairs of this nation can they do it?

You think the President is worried about nairaland comments?

People should have a right to comment.

I don't understand why someone with no power would defend the integrity of someone in a position of authority. How does it benefit you to stifle opinion?

Another list of habits that are not particular to Nigerians.

Those are universal bad habits.

I'm glad that she has been released but is Nigeria really in need of foreign missionaries?

We already have churches on damn near every street corner (in the south), what more do they want?

mulattoclaro:
It's only in Nigeria people can insult the president and get away with it. A boy is currently being detained and awaiting trial in Turkey for insulting president Erdogan. I wish all these all these Ap-shit supporters and their leaders could be made to under the same treatment. But I'm not bother cos we have FFK and Faypse to do that for us. Whether anyone likes it or not. Gej will remain the president of Nigeria till 2019. Meanwhile GEJ till 2019.

It is not "only in Nigeria" that Presidents are insulted.

The American president is often insulted, this was especially true during the Bush era.

Jacob Zuma is often the figure of fun in his homeland.

A true democracy entails allowing people to speak about political issues and figures - sometimes such speach veers into the realm of jokes and humor.

Democracy can only begin to work if you have free and open dissemination of information.

If you impede on that right then you have a sham democracy.

'First Lady' should not be an official position, in a democracy.

No one voted her into office, to address her as 'your excellency' is erroneous.

Justice over nonsense.

I hope that they do a thorough job and that the responsible parties are dealt with.

If we are going to keep the death penalty on the books we may as well use it.

RIP (rot in piss) to these two 'parents'.

That is why many poultry farms like, Zartech limited, Anu- oluwa farms, Chi farms, Rom oil mill limited ( biggest automated edible oil refinery and margarine company in sub- Sahara Africa, flour mill, Leyland Busan motor company limited, Pamper, Huggies, American British tobacco company , Sumal Foods Limited ecetera.

Most these companies are operated by foreigners from Lebanese, Americans, British, Indians, Koreans, Chinese ecetera.

Is that something to be proud of?

What a strange 'accomplishment'.

Only foolish people would sit on a forum and brag about how many foreigners are in their vicinity to show how incompetent and short-sighted the locals are.

i c, u dnt believe in the existence of God!

wud u like us to talk? like men, pls.

You have proof of this 'god'?

rago:

That is the complete opposite of what I said.

No. 10 is a fallacy.

The reason why people are using third party apps is because they insist on charging people for mediocrity.

Am also having this feeling you are a runs girl.

You definitely hit a nerve with her.

I wonder why?

A runs girl will never admit what she is.

'When the runs girl met the fool' is an old tale.
