Obviously this is now about opinion without logic, reason or fact.

Nice to know.

If someone call you an atheist because you don't believe his/her God, such a person automatically becomes an atheist to you as well using their own logic.

joseph1832:
LOL.

How are you doing, brother man.

Very fine

EreluRoz:
You are obviously an atheist

I also consider you an ATHEIST.

EreluRoz:
I used to be a staunch church goer but gradually lost interest and always find one excuse or the other not to attend church service.

I actually lost interest when a certain young pastor was on my neck to date him, so it got to a point I had to stop attending service and ever since I've not been able to pick up.

How do I reawaken the zeal?

You're not losing interest per se, rather you are becoming logical. Christianity doesn't support a logical mind, science, questioning. Once you begin to become logical, Roman Jesus would become uneasy and start running away.

What's going on is that your subconscious has spotted many inconsistencies between what you believe versus reality, so you're actually becoming more enlightened now. The more logical you become, the more you'll realize that you're participating in an illusion and you'll quit eventually.

I was that way for several years. Though I stopped going to church for many years but I still considered myself a Christian until I eventually freed myself from Jesus.

Roman Jesus is actually the prison you need to be free from.

All I see is persecution because pictures and videos of Nigerians abusing the Naira are all over the Internet.

And to think that the people who talk about "God", mercy and forgiveness are supporting the persecution of an innocent Nigerian who did what thousands of others have done?

What it requires is teaching him how to handle the Naira and let him go. Nigerians as whole should be taught how to handle the Naira because we don't know how to do that.

Let the clown go but warn him because there's no civil or criminal offense here.

The game is up for European imperialists!!

The colonized old age post-colonial Africans are old now and dying. They're the ones that sabotaged us after colonialism. They went back to partner with and adopt the language, God and teachings of the enemy immediately after independence. This is the major thing that has set up back since then. But thankfully their age is over!

A new age of post-colonial African thinkers are beginning to emerge.

There's a cultural and socio-economic revolution coming on the African continent.

wirinet:

That was because Europe went through an age of enlightenment where knowledge took over from faith and belief. In most third world countries belief is promoted above knowledge.
Until we place acquisition of knowledge above belief, we will continue to retrogress until we go get back into dark ages or we are completely colonised.

It's wife's site. My wife is a Baker. I have not had time to maintain it. I have had to increase my hustle 5 times just to make ends meet.

Indeed, our fate in Africa and other colonized countries would be either to be re-colonized or break free.

The problem is that real knowledge, which is self inspired type of knowledge can only occur in our native languages. Only then shall we intellectually override religion as a whole because the argument would be that if foreign religion is slavery and isn't good for us, then foreign language isn't different.

That's the enlightenment that needs to happen but one that we're not prepared for yet. This cultural revolution would have happened in 1962 but Britain and the CIA cornered Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, Ezekiel Mphalele and used them to stop the revolution

Hanndye:

So what is it to be spiritual - to go against the perfect Will of God?

And the perfect will of God is to create thousands of religious denominations against one another? That instead looks like the perfect will of an anti-God entity.

wirinet:

I don't think religion can ever die. Religion thrives on ignorance and/or poverty. And the religious, political and business elites make sure they keep populace poor, ignorant and helpless. Infact religion will continue to grow within poor impoverished countries of the world.

You don't have to go too far to realize that. All you have to do is checkout Christianity and Europe today. They've almost parted ways when compared to the hay days of Christianity in Europe.

By the way, your site www.adasbakes.com isn't working. Seems you make cakes? Just curious.

Ashawoman82:
mention the native languages in the USA...

There are too many!
Popular ones are Cherokee, Navajo, Keresan, Yupik, Sioux.

For more information, see indigenous languages of the Americas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_languages_of_the_Americas

@all asking why many languages in a country like the USA.

Before Europeans got to the USA, there were native people already living in America and speaking many languages.

English was used to enslave them but the people and their native languages still exist just as we have our native languages here in Africa but instead speak the slave masters language.

Hanndye:

The KNOWING here is people like you realizing the spiritual world. The spiritual world is eternal and, God in the spiritual world made the physical world. You marvel at the physical world now but when you die, you will realize that there is much more than the physical world.

I am more spiritual than you and your pastor.

It's important you know that KNOWING (knowledge) was part and parcel of earliest Christianity called the Gnostics but Rome shut them down and replaced them with the dumb belief system you have today. That's why today you're religious. But being religious is not the same as being spiritual.

As a Christian or whatever religion you belong to, you're religious but you can't be religious and spiritual at the same time. Any day you become spiritual, nobody would tell you to quit Christianity.

Everything in your bible about "after death" is falsehood.

Hanndye:

True Christianity endured just like Jesus assured.

Two thousand years is too short to make that conclusion. There are so many dead religions today but which thrived before Christianity.

Eventually, religion as a whole would die and give way to knowledge (KNOWING) instead of BELIEVING. It's a matter of time.

Hanndye:

It has nothing to do with naming days (they did not even have the right),just that they worship the Lord on the first day of the week. It's the world that didn't understand what they were doing and twisted it into whatever they liked. They saw the beauty of Christianity and integrated it into their paganism with State laws.

State laws?

We already know how the state (Rome) created it. Christianity was actually integrated into paganism, making it the grand Master of all pagan religions.

But even if you argue it was paganism that was instead integrated into Christianity, it doesn't save Christianity from being a pagan religion all the same.

Hanndye:


The earliest Christians don't call it Sunday, they call it the Lord's day being on the first day of the week. And they have been worshipping on that day since the Ascension of Christ and the beginning of Christianity. It has nothing to do with Roman paganism or what have you. If it falls on the day the world calls Sunday no fuse. That might as well be their headache, it doesn't bother the true Christians.

The "day of the Lord" or the day of the savior or the day of the redeemer or Sunday or whatever have you are all the same because all the other savior gods before Jesus were also all called Lord, savior, Christ, redeemer, the way, the truth, life, etc.

wirinet:

The Jesus character was a pacifist. All his actions and preaching were pacifist in nature except where he was said to have beaten people selling in the temple. I believe that narrative was added by be Catholic authorities. It makes no sense for Jesus to go to a Jewish temple he was not the chief rabbi and start fighting people selling religious ornaments.
His pacifist doctrines includes;
Turning the other cheek
Stopping the lynching of a woman accused of adultery
Entering the house and eating with gentiles
Eating together on the same table with his followers and disciples. (Abomination in todays Christianity)
Commanding his disciples not to fight the authorities upon his arrest.
Preaching that give what belongs to caesar unto Caesar and God unto God.
Forgive all those who sins against you against the prevailing "an eye for an eye".

That pacifist leader is a complete literary creation, he never existed. It's an invention by Rome! Otherwise, furnish me with his history outside of the bible

wirinet:

I agree with most of what you said. There were many cult leaders promoting different philosophies and agendas in first century Palestine under Roman occupation. Rome was jittery that any of them could become militant and thus start an uprising/Insurrection. That was why they were very hard and brutal on these cult groups, so much so that many went underground.

As I said the Jesus group was very popular among the masses due to his socialist and Liberal philosophies. It promoted communal living, and non discrimination between rich and poor, between Jews and gentiles, even between saints and sinners. Where it had issues with some of its followers was it non violent resistance to Rome and local authorities.

You must admit that Christianity as promoted and propagated by Rome was indeed a perfect marketing campaign. In fact its the most successful marketing campaign in the history of the world. They took a popular cult leader, infuse him with characteristics of earlier popular cult figures, wrote stories about him in a book and link these stories to earlier Jewish religious text, added miracles that would appeal to the pains and problems of the masses and then aggressively promoted the newly formed religion, sometimes forcefully.

Oh, I get your point now. But ALL the cult leaders were, indeed, militant in nature.....none was pacifist.

That has been confirmed in the ancient texts recovered in Palestine and Egypt in about 1945.

What Rome did is like the Nigerian government writing a book about a fictional boko haram leader and making his ideologies align with the intention of the government in order to de-militarize his followers. Then, aggressively promote the book as you rightly said. Emperor Constantine simply got the hook and created the Jesus of the Bible.

wirinet:

Yes, there could not have been a person called Jesus in first century Palestine, (that's why I laugh when modern day Christians say the pronunciation of the word Jesus has mystical and magical powers), but the person depicted by Jesus (later deified) must have existed. He was most likely a cult leader who believed in pacifist, socialist philosophies. He promoted non violent confrontation in a very violent period in isreal, he promoted socialism (sharing of common wealth) in an ultra capitalist society. He promoted non discrimination in a very bigoted, racist and religious environment. Of course that was why he was unpopular within the political, religious and traditional elites of the day and hugely popular within the poor, helpless and exploited masses. Even today Jesus and his philosophies would be unpopular within the elites and they would have killed him over again.

At first glance, it appears that way until you realize that there were hundreds of other mythological gods born by a virgin, had 12 disciples, resurrected from the dead, etc.....all of them before anybody heard of Jesus.

Here's the thing........

Historians don't deny that there were Messianic cult leaders named JOSHUA (God saves). In fact, there were many of them killed by Rome, including one killed on a cross. But one other Joshua had been killed by Rome on a cross around 100 BC and none of them was called by the name of the Bible's Jesus. That's what history and historians found.

There was NEVER any of the cult leaders or Joshua's who was born by a virgin, had 12 disciples, walked on water, resurrected the dead, died and resurrected.

The Bible's Jesus is a complete invention!....in fact, a FRAUD.

SUN-DAY or the day of the Sun was a day that the pagan Roman God Mithras was worshipped before anybody heard of Jesus. This pagan god and it's rites were carried over to Christianity- which is nothing but the rebranding of Mithrasm

What I like about Sunday is that it's a testimony that there was NEVER anybody called Jesus in history and Christianity is paganism.

Elzazzi:
But how did the Caucasians become so powerful and did Africans dirty.

Very simple.....

They're people with a war culture who swept away every other civilizations before them. They didn't do that in Africa alone. They also over ran people in Asia, Australia, South & North America.

For more information, see why Europeans were able to conquer Africa and the rest of the world https://www.africason.com/2017/09/why-europeans-were-able-to-conquer.html

Elzazzi:


I still think God prefers the Caucasians to Africans.

This God mentality is part and parcel of our problem in Africa. Else, what type of God created humans in Africa first, then prefer newer Caucasians who aren't more than 6,000 years on earth?

This is despite the fact that we Africans invented the concept of God thousands of years before any other race existed.

The God you're talking about must be evil.

PoliteActivist:


Sooo, how do you find "spirituality"?

Spirituality is the thing he's doing now- being and doing good because it's the right thing to do, not because a religion said you should do or be good to others.

Two things he got wrong:-

1. He weren't switching churches because of miracles but that's the time he started being curious whether what he believed was actually true. So, he started looking for the truth to the best of his knowledge. At the end he discovered what we all who left Christianity discovered. Jesus is a FRAUD. It's an illusion!!

2. The second thing he got wrong is Spirituality. Someone who knows him should tell him that spirituality is not the same as religion.

Spirituality is the thing he has embraced now (being void of any religion) whether foreign or local.

Spirituality is not on the side of a God or Devil but on the side of good for humanity. It's when you find spirituality that you eventually find God. If God is a spirit, then you must know him through spiritually. You don't need any type of religion to know him.

Christianity as a whole evolved same way. It evolved through patch-patch work over the centuries.

If you want to know when anything was added, just go to Google and search the following:

When was Easter added to Christianity?

When was Sunday added to Christianity?

When was Christmas added to Christianity?

When was AD (anno domino) added to Christianity?

When was Jesus recognized as the son of God?

When was Jesus recognized as God?

When was the bible first published?

Etc, etc

Christianity is the fakest religion anyone can participate in.

Nigerians Slams Wigwe's daughter for not standing to greet VP Shettima at her parents' funeral


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsoqQyKrCaE?si=HNpHsi99M2Qr_7Xu

A moral police on social media has called out Herbert Wigwe's oldest daughter for not standing to greet the Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima.

The user shared a photo of Tochi Wigwe sitting while accepting a handshake from Shettima during one of the events organised to mourn Herbert Wigwe, his wife Chizoba Wigwe, and their son Chizzy Wigwe who died in a helicopter crash. He then shared photos of former VP Yemi Osinbajo and businessman Aliko Dangote standing to shake hands with Shettima.

He wrote: “Same Man, different regard. Whoever that girl is,she lacks proper home training. You don't shake a person old enough to be your father while seating down.”

A couple of other social media users from the North also berated the grieving daughter.

However, many defended her.

The girl did the right thing by not standing to greet Shettima.
She's not supposed to, as she's all overwhelmed by grief at this time...... something heavy is on her mind.

The so called adults are supposed to understand why

Greyworld:

No body is on your side... it's all about interest.

Adolfnigeria:
what sortbof naiitivity is this?

Its about interests.

A world ruled by chinese will be an enslaved one. This guys are bleeping wicked even the russians.

They are worst than the west.

As far as Africa concerned, Western interest since 332 BC has been to enslave you, colonize and exploit you, re-colonize you.

But in the midst of all these, China and Russia stayed away from hurting you, even though they had everything it takes to join them to feast on you. In fact, they stayed on your side to demand that you be free.

Yes, they have interest like everyone does but their's isn't about dehumanizing you.

Be informed that Russian and Chinese efforts led to the united nation's (UN) declaration of emancipation of all colonized countries.

For a little more information about how the West dehumanized your ancestors VS how China and Russia tried to save you, see European crimes in Africa - European crimes caught on camera during colonization of Africa https://www.africason.com/2022/04/european-crimes-in-africa-during.html

Good!

Indeed, the right thing African countries should do is look towards China and Russia as partners. They have historically always been our side.

kingthreat:


Thank you. Reading about Gannibal now.

Ok
His first name is Abram.

proeast:


Two of Nigeria’s greatest footballers of all times in one picture. Putin likes being in the midst of Blacks, that’s one thing I like about him.

Putin could actually be a black man, and many Russians are if not that the climate makes it unnoticeable.

A black king ruled Russia and his offsprings mixed up with the ruling elite of that country. This is the type of thing that should be researched by black people but it unfortunately gets no mention.

His name was Gannibal. You can look up Gannibal the black Russian king.

Putin is a black man.

As dumb as this comment by the actress but that's what white people tricked Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, Ezekiel Mphalele to do in 1962. And that's why we're so disoriented today.

Tellmeastory:


There is no “lack of scientific know-how” to do anything in Nigeria.

Nigeria has the sharpest minds in the world.

Brilliant minds in every sphere.

All we need to do is sort out the power issue, and you will see Nigerians have the know-how to be as innovative as Japan and China.

But "the power issue" is also as a result of lack of scientific know-how.

The man is right. Nothing is wrong with the Nigerian economy, rather we are paying back ALL the free petrol and dollar we received from the government since 1960.
The only thing is that both petrol and dollar subsidy shouldn't have been removed at the same time. But then, there's no right time to do it.

Tinubu like the Messiah (the Satan of book of Genesis) won't be appropriated, though he've solved a major problem for Nigeria. But the future generation would benefit from it.

The only thing holding us back now is corruption and lack of scientific know-how to begin to locally produce the things we import.
