 Christianity Etc › Re: How To Brainwash The Christian Way. by naijacutee(f): 1:08am On Oct 28, 2008 |
bawomolo:Lol. Have I mentioned anything about evolution? Why have you suddenly jumped into the conclusion that I believe that evolution is a "theory about creation"? (Or were my thoughts revealed to you by the Atheist Spirit?  ). You may think that atheists have no basis for an organised movement but if you look around you, you will notice that atheist publications, tv propagandas, publicity stunts and even evangelism is on the rise, none of which I believe are carried out single-handedly. The London bus evangelism by "British Humanist Association" aka Atheist Charity raising over £100K for their bus evangelism campaign, shows you how many eager candidates you have out there. Bastage:I agree with you that religious fundamentalists outnumber atheist fundamentalists - however, that doesn't mean that atheists are some small, timid forgotten sect, intimidated time and again by theists. At least, not in this day and age. Atheists use their God-given freewill to evangelise, intimidate and argue just as well as theists do. mazaje:Belief in biblical accounts - especially in the New Testament, are not irrational. Read up on some Ancient Greek archaeology, and you will find out that there is no evidence that contradicts these accounts. Instead, there is more evidence in favour of them rather than against them. Take for example the account of Sodom and Gomorrah. (I'm only using this example because it is a story of which I'm a little familiar with the archaeology - and the events could have not only left verbal witnesses, but also archaelogical witnesses - No other reason, I promise!). Recent archaeological findings have shown a portion of the land around the Red Sea which fits perfectly into the position of the 5 cities in the Bible, of which Sodom and Gomorrah were a part. Further investigation in this area by different archaelogists have found portions of ash, sulfur, brimstone, ashpalt and burnt crops. These areas have been said to demonstrate evidence of burning across at least 3 of the cities, with mass grave sites excavated. This is just one of many archaeological findings which fully support the "stories" you hear about in the Bible. . . |

IMO, Aethists are just as brainwashed as they propose christians to be. They have just as much faith in their "coming from nothing" theories, preach just as much - howbeit even more smugly. I think they are well on their way to being an "organised" non-religion - which will be a laugh in the face of all the "organised religion" protests. |

I came across this on The Independent, relating to this topic. I know this might not interest many people who re "Starting a business" but the last two sentences migght be worth a look. Organic farming 'could feed Africa' Traditional practices increase yield by 128 per cent in east Africa, says UN By Daniel Howden in Nairobi Wednesday, 22 October 2008 New evidence suggests that organic practices - derided by some as a Western lifestyle fad - are delivering sharp increases in yields, improvements in the soil and a boost in the income of Africa's small farmers Organic farming offers Africa the best chance of breaking the cycle of poverty and malnutrition it has been locked in for decades, according to a major study from the United Nations to be presented today. New evidence suggests that organic practices – derided by some as a Western lifestyle fad – are delivering sharp increases in yields, improvements in the soil and a boost in the income of Africa's small farmers who remain among the poorest people on earth. The head of the UN's Environment Programme, Achim Steiner, said the report "indicates that the potential contribution of organic farming to feeding the world maybe far higher than many had supposed". The "green revolution" in agriculture in the 1960s – when the production of food caught and surpassed the needs of the global population for the first time – largely bypassed Africa. Whereas each person today has 25 per cent more food on average than they did in 1960, in Africa they have 10 per cent less. A combination of increasing population, decreasing rainfall and soil fertility and a surge in food prices has left Africa uniquely vulnerable to famine. Climate change is expected to make a bad situation worse by increasing the frequency of droughts and floods. It has been conventional wisdom among African governments that modern, mechanised agriculture was needed to close the gap but efforts in this direction have had little impact on food poverty and done nothing to create a sustainable approach. Now, the global food crisis has led to renewed calls for a massive modernisation of agriculture on the hungriest continent on the planet, with calls to push ahead with genetically modified crops and large industrial farms to avoid potentially disastrous starvation. Last month the UK's former chief scientist Sir David King said anti-scientific attitudes among Western NGOs and the UN were responsible for holding back a much-needed green revolution in Africa. "The problem is that the Western world's move toward organic farming – a lifestyle choice for a community with surplus food – and against agricultural technology in general and GM in particular, has been adopted across the whole of Africa, with the exception of South Africa, with devastating consequences," he said. The research conducted by the UN Environment Programme suggests that organic, small-scale farming can deliver the increased yields which were thought to be the preserve of industrial farming, without the environmental and social damage which that form of agriculture brings with it. An analysis of 114 projects in 24 African countries found that yields had more than doubled where organic, or near-organic practices had been used. That increase in yield jumped to 128 per cent in east Africa. "Organic farming can often lead to polarised views," said Mr Steiner, a former economist. "With some viewing it as a saviour and others as a niche product or something of a luxury, this report suggests it could make a serious contribution to tackling poverty and food insecurity." The study found that organic practices outperformed traditional methods and chemical-intensive conventional farming. It also found strong environmental benefits such as improved soil fertility, better retention of water and resistance to drought. And the research highlighted the role that learning organic practices could have in improving local education. Backers of GM foods insist that a technological fix is needed to feed the world. But this form of agriculture requires cash to buy the patented seeds and herbicides – both at record high prices currently – needed to grow GM crops. Regional farming experts have long called for "good farming", rather than exclusively GM or organic. Better seeds, crop rotation, irrigation and access to markets all help farmers. Organic certification in countries such as the UK and Australia still presents an insurmountable barrier to most African exporters, the report points out. It calls for greater access to markets so farmers can get the best prices for their products. Kenyan farmer: 'I wanted to see how UK did it' Henry Murage had to travel a long way to solve problems trying to farm a smallholding on the western slopes of Mount Kenya. He spent five months in the UK, studying with the experts at Garden Organic a charity in the Midlands. "I wanted to see how it was being done in the UK and was convinced we could do some of the same things here," he says. On his return 10 years ago, he set up the Mt Kenya Organic Farm, aimed at aiding other small farmers fighting the semi-arid conditions. He believes organic soil management can help retain moisture and protect against crop failure. The true test came during the devastating drought of2000-02, when Mr Murage's vegetable gardens fared better than his neighbours'. At least 300 farmers have visited his gardens and taken up at least one of the practices he espouses. "Organic can feed the people in rural areas," he says. "It's sustainable and what we produce now we can go on producing." Saving money on fertilisers and pesticides helps farmers afford better seeds, and composting and crop rotation are improving the soil. Traditional maize, beans and livestock farming in the area have been supplemented with new crops from borage seeds to cayenne peppers and honey, with buyers from the US to Europe. Now he is growing camomile for herbal tea, with buyers from the UK and Germany both interested. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/organic-farming-could-feed-africa-968641.html |

Thank you, Bastage. God is the creator, and therefore is unlike any other creature/idea we may conceive. We cannot class God, using the groups/ideas/philisophies with which we class ourselves. It is simply illogical. It's like a child trying to guess what colour of socks his father used to wear when he was his age. (Poor illustration, I know. . .) - He could study fashion history to see what was in vogue at the time, ask a friend etc but unless the father himself told him, then everything remains a guess. Again, I apologise for the poor illustration. |

Your post was deleted for your own interest and for the interest of other Nairalanders. It lacked any credibility whatsoever (How can you say : Call me, for whatever you need) without any evidence to show that you actually have "whatever they need". If you are making a claim, please provide evidence to back that claim, and even so, if it still has nothing to do with "Starting a business", please try and post it in the "Adverts" section. |

Hero, you have your nose in the air but you are kind of right. These problems arise in uneducated circles because of lack of education, and in educated circles, because of lack of exposure. When you make judgements, do remember that people (Including yourself) are a product of their a.) Genetic make-up b.) Environment c.) Experiences - None of these, which they have control over. If you had been born in Liberia, raised in the slums and tutored on how to hate foreigners, would your actions have been any different from theirs? How do you know? |

| Christianity Etc › Re: Is The Bible Easy To Understand? by naijacutee(f): 1:58am On Oct 23, 2008 |
Yes, I agree with the responses above. The Bible is not an easy book to read at all. One would have to be well-versed across several fields - literature, philosophy, science (ah, yes. . . science), politics, history etc to fully understand the Bible on his/her own. Illiterates reading the Old Testament and fully understanding it is simply miraculous. Even so, they kept asking Jesus questions about their findings. The Bible is not an easy book to read/understand at all, and one needs a little bit of extra help when reading it. |

alpontif:Thank you, pilgrim. The boldness of the statement is suggestive of one who intends on stimulating a religious argument, not someone who is requesting "education". Sounds to mel like: "Snakes have four legs. Discuss". Such a topic is totally void of logic and contains abosutely nothing compelling enough to talk about. Sorry, poster if I'm coming across as harsh, but I can't identify any other reason or motivation behind such a topic. Maybe you should have worded it differently or expanded on your points. |

It seems everyone is using this question to try and sell their business "services". As a banker, you must have limited time i.e you would probably will not be physically able to go out and engage in other businesses, or anything that requires your immediate presence. I would advise that you do something which :- - Doesn't require your physical presence. You could work at weekends, use the internet as a medium to reach customers, or "employ" a trusted person to make use of his/her time to achieveing your business goals. - You could also make use of your banking expertise in order to consult, train or even advise people. One such example on this forum is "lawyer", the lawyer who doles out sound advice on Nairaland and gives us no reason not to trust him. - You could also turn your colleagues into customers by buying/selling to them. I wish you all the best. |

Because they don't really have any faith in God - They just use religion as an accessory which they can flaunt to the world and show that they "belong". Their real faith lies in the rotten last tooth of a pregnant old woman which they must present to the priest in order to get rich. |

I think you need to assess what went wrong in the runnings of your business. Was the loan a personal one, or a business loan? If it was a business loan, was a clear aim of the intention of the loan, and how to achieve this aim? Was there a plan put in place to facilitate this? Was this plan followed? Did it not work? If you don't ask yourself these questions, you will put yourself on an endless treadmill of continously borrowing money and continously looking for alternative sources to pay back. I know you need money urgently etc, but more importantly, you should devise a way to prevent this from happening again, even after you may have solved this problem. |
