grin You are a slave to yourself, since you make yourself your own god.

So why would you not suffer depression, disappointmens, despair, hardship and other nonsense sufferings when you can not even give to yourself what you need.

Whilst I am properly catered for by My Master, because I Obey Him.

There is nothing to quarrel about, you have chosen your own Master, I have chosen mine.

Lols, yet every year, more religious people in Nigeria experience sadness and depression than irreligious ones.

Visit a nearby general hospital and teaching hospital, especially the emergency section, and see patients (and their relatives) in a state of depression as they battle to save their life.

The majority of these people are either Christians or Muslims.

That's when you realize how useless your god, Yahweh, or the fictitious Jesus, is.

Visit prisons and see religious people who experience depression.

But then, I understand in your myopic view, the Christians among these people are not true Christians, but you're.

Why must you always think like a toddler?

About being a slave, I'm not a slave of anything or anyone.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the one true God. all others are manmade and impastas

there are proof FSM is real and true unlike fake gods like Yahweh, Allah etc

1. The planets are shaped like Meatballs, Only FSM can delightfully create the planets with such a shape



2. The Human DNA is shaped like Pasta, oy FSM can have delight in creating DNA in such shape too



3. He boiled for our sins, what sacrifice could be greater?



4. There was a time I doubted the existence of FSM, so I decided to go down on my knees and pray to him, telling him to reveal himself to me; after a long prayer and apparently no sign, I decided that FSM isn't real after all; so I took out my headphone from my pocket to watch some videos on my Ipad, lo and behold below is the shape the headphone took



I still wasn't convinced until I decided to make coffee, still in doubt about his existence
I poured the coffee, added milk and returned the extra coffee to the kitchen, when I got back to drink my coffee it looked like the below



5. he manifested himself to a group of divers underwater http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/08/13/diving-team-discovers-flying-spaghetti-monster-underwater/

a definitive answer as to the existence of the spaghetti monster. That's more than any of the other religions have as evidence.

He's gone to great depths to convince us.

6. pastors are leaving Christianity for Pastafarianism, example http://www.patheos.com/blogs/chorusinthechaos/mans-faith-completely-undone-due-to-flying-spaghetti-monster-argument/

7. FSM also showed himself to people over 3000 years ago

his noodliness touch our everyday lives

The claim that the above is a 3200 year old typo is preposterous. According to an expert, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is actually the God of the sun and stars. Two meatballs, spaghetti, bowl...obvious.

8. FSM was sighted off the Angolan coast

Reputable science magazine New Scientist reports that the FSM has been spotted off the Angolan coast



9. FSM was sighted on Mars



NASA released this photo of a “mystery object” on Mars spotted a few days ago. No official word on what it may be, but clearly resembles the FSM.

10. FSM spotted this Japanese manhole cover.



11. FSM was spotted at the Olympics helping an athlete win



12. FSM was also spotted at a Pizzeria in Paris



13. FSM also revealed himself in an art



spotted the FSM at the Crocker Museum in Sacramento. Though He is short one meatball in this apparition we still recognized Him by His Noodly Appendages. Ramen!


14. sighting of the FSM’s Noodly Appendages in the surf in California.



15. Party Girl Jewelry Sighting



Basking in the florescent glow of the grocery store pasta aisle, the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s Noodley appendages shimmered like diamonds.

as we can see, he's revealing himself to people on daily basis

Is the FSM material, i.e. made of matter, i.e. made of sphagetti? Or is the spaghetti part a metaphor and actually the FSM is Pure Act in the Aristotelian sense? Or are both true at once?

These mysteries are so deep, I don't have enough faith to deny the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The more you read about us the more you're going to be persuaded that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the true Creator and that FSMism just might be the Best. Religion. Ever. Go ahead. Try us for thirty days. If you don't like us, your old religion will most likely take you back. Unless it's the Jains, whose feelings are easily hurt.

Christians/Muslims and other fake god worshippers are just too blinded by their Impasta (Yahweh/Allah etc) that's why they can't recognise the evidence given by the one true God (FSM)

May his holy sauce open their blinded eyes, R'Amen

The operative word is "Who Claim".

And this is where The Truth lies in the Bible which said "

"27 My sheep hear my voice, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND.


See that!

It is impossible to pluck those who Truly belong to Christ.

They can never ever fall for they live in the bountiful blessings of God, eg, eating to satisfaction, promotions, prosperity, peace, power, pleasure, protection, harvest, increase etc just to mention a few. grin

Let me tell you of an experience i had a while ago.

One night after i had my bath i lay down on my bed to sleep.

The lights were off and i was the only one in the room.

After lying down for about 10 minutes or so something happened... something i can never forget.

All of the sudden from out of nowhere i felt somebody rub my shoulder (in the same way a lover would rub your shoulder... romantically)

I screamed and jumped out of my bed.. and when i turned on the torch to look i saw that there was nobody there.

But till this day i am convinced that somebody touched me that day... i can never forget and have never forgotten.

Ever since that day i have been aware of the fact that we are not alone on this earth... there are people with us that we just can't see with our natural eyes... real people... invisible people

What do you have to say about this my experience?

Easy to explain cos it happens to me a lot. The edge of your pillow or pillow case was what brushed your shoulder. It feels shockingly delightful when it happens and feels very intimate too.

Not necessarily. Many things continued for thousands of years that were false - worship of gods like Zeus, etc and miracles by them, world was flat and center of the universe for thousands of years, etc.

On the other hand, hopefulLandlord and kingxsamz, how do you explain the following?:

I looked into the Shanti Devi case but could only find sparse details. It is a very interesting case and I will continue to look into it but sincerely I have no explanation for such an occurance. However, it doesn't still make me think of spirits, instead it makes me think that our thoughts and brain patterns are a part of the universe and can inadvertently be replicated somewhere else. This doesn't require the existence of a spiritual realm, quantum mechanics can explain such a transfer. These are my speculations and have no evidence so take it for what it is.

As for Sugar Ray's experience, I don't find that remarkable in the sense that we all have dreams that bear resemblance to real world events but more often than not our dreams are just a jumble of images that have no real world significance. If dreams where some sort of spiritual instant messenger then we would have more accurate and significant dreams that match with reality. Besides what Sugar Ray dreamed and what he did were not beyond his capacity to achieve so why think that because he dreamed it the dream or so calles spiritual realm caused it to happen.

1) You obviously did not read my sceenshot. They concluded there is more to us than just our physical bodies. There is no field that all experts agree

2) I never asked you to accept anything. You are the one saying definitely there is no supernatural. I said previously we don't know, and have no way of knowing the true nature of reality, and that we likely don't know up to a millionth of what there is to know

While I agree in most part with what you say here, I do have to say though that unexplained doesn't equal supernatural. That was a time thunder and lightning were unexplained, it didn't make them supernatural.

But becoming an atheist, though comforting, makes u a close minded person. It takes away the most Important and most fundamental stetement: "I may be wrong".
As I wrote above: We don't know, and have no way of knowing the true nature of reality. And what we know is likely not up to a millionth of what there is to know

Wrong. I say I may be wrong all the time and remain willing to be proved wrong at any time.

Meanwhile concerning your moniker, it may interest you to note that I saw all the charms Igboho's supporters carried at the time of their arrest on display in Panti police station. Those charms did nothing to help them.
