That Saudi carry out such barbaric act does it make it right? So you should emulate them because you have an example of a western nation killing alleged witches?

I addressed a Nigerian audience in a Nigerian society, not a comparison or competition between world superstitions.

That you choose to justify such demeaning superstition by invoking an even more disturbing show and effect of similar superstition in another society is lower than low..

simply condemn what is condemnable...

you're trying to drain a stream by fetching the water with a bucket. that's the kind of effect criticising people's belief has. you cannot antagonise and influence at the same time. just as you hold a belief that what they do is barbaric so do they also hold funny beliefs about those who do not indulge in such acts. do you get? words alone can't change beliefs, put your effort in improving their lives and their Orthodox beliefs will be only in history classes

donkross1:
The bible says "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places".
Ephesians 6:12 KJV



What does it mean in simpler terms?

It simply means we are wrestling against demons..


Who are demons?

They are the fallen angels that was hurled down from heaven alongside satan himself. Satan is their leader and they themselves have followers which includes witches, wizards, herbalist and so on..


How do you identify a witch?

It only takes a spirit filled or spiritual person to identify a witch.



Okay wait... If you say witches aren't in existence, where were you when Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa stopped the whole of the witches in africa from holding a meeting in Benin city ?

It's all about emancipation of the mind. We have to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery

Pataricatering:
There are supposed witches being mobbed and killed! If they really were witches and had all that power I wonder how normal people at buttons or in the village square would have killed them easily?

WITCHES AND WIZARDS EXIST FOR SURE BUT BLAMING EVERY ATTACK AND MISFORTUNE ON THEM IS SICKENING.

All those rules are put to govern the common man on the street. Rub shoulders with top men in their government and you'd realize atheism is the way of life for them - they only use religion for its original intent: control.
Saudi princes are well known for bedding women of all races, keeping slaves and indulging in perverse acts meanwhile the common man on the street can get executed for hugging a woman in public.

Zoe99:
I admit that sometimes people make wrong assumptions but demonic forces,witches and wizards do torment people and afflict people in some cases.

charix:

The people who believe in those are a minority who the majority believe should get locked in mental institutions.

TrajansKong:

Problem with that is that we must want to create our own freedom and we are the only population group in human history who want to be saved. We need and, in fact, demand to be saved by external forces.
Our 'unmanliness' in the face of the unknown is pathetic, and something our fellow humans view with apalled fascination. And amusement. ..

Superstition is so firmly rooted in the Nigerian culture that there is no respite in sight, 50 years from now nothing will change.

It is heartbreaking for me to see my friends and family organise fasting and prayers to pray for long life,prosperity, protection, energy supplyetc. But then again , It is difficult to discard religion and superstition in a failed society like Nigeria where basic social amenities are non-existent.

Please there is a notion being peddled on this forum by some mischievous Christians that Norway is a Christian country. This is completely false, it is true that on a face value 80% of Norwegians identify as Christians, only 5% actually go to church or are active Christians.

Scandevians (Denmark, Finland, Norway etc) are the least religious amongst Europeans. Conversely poor European countries like Poland, Romania and Estonia are more religious.

Religion inhibits development, it has been shown over and over again. Lying for Jesus will not change this fact

musKeeto:
Lol. KingEbukasblog argues for religion today. Tomorrow, Christianity ceases to be a religion, but a lifestyle.

johnydon22:
Just a simple question.... What is your Criteria for knowing who is a witch?

And i am bathed with bible verses and dog story... Have you now seen you simply have no basis to call anyone a witch?

When you are in Rome , you behave like the Romans . Its a pity , one has to stoop low for the lesser kinds to understand the recondite info being passed unto them .

Hahahahaha Easy ooo... Sometimes the best way to deal with some people is **Face palm and move on**

KingEbukasBlog:


Lmao ... so you went to edit this post and poured a myriad of spurious information in the front page of a public forum . Finland are currently facing economic crises and her leaders are worried over this development . By the way , Finland is a Christian country though they are facing economic challenges .

A Nigerian who lived in Norway admitted the country is not religious as per their dedication to their faith not unbelief . The country has been a christian country and will always be . Technology has provided means of attending live church services with your mobile devices and laptops - that explains why there are low attendances in churches .


Atheists here on Nairaland are pathetically distasteful in their desperate futile attempt to denigrate religion . Religion does not stop a government from advancing . It's not even long ago , the Lagos State government shut down so so many churches over noise population - this couldn't have happened if it was being influenced by Religion .

You lot are vacuous entities !

Many of us have been brain washed. Also one big problem is that we as black Africans, we find it very difficult to read books to open up our minds. We based our stupid belief of one spiritually head who is hell bent in misleading us. How can a spiritual head be a counsellor, doctor, therapist, businessman, accountant and lots more thereby paving ways for fraudulent activities both materially and sexually.

GeneralShepherd:


So you agree that Norwegians do not go to the church at least physically. We are making head way. Now you claim that this must be because of technology, how did you come to this conclusion?



According to the most recent Eurobarometer Poll of 2010,

22% of Norwegian citizens responded that "they believe there is a God".
44% answered that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force".
29% answered that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God, or life force".
5% answered that they "do not know".
Phil Zuckerman, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Pitzer College, estimates atheism rates in Norway as ranging from 31 to 72%, based on various studies.

Keeping lying for Jesus! it seems you desperately need majority of Norwegians to believe in your imaginary God to reassure your delusions. I'm sorry to burst your bubbles!

KingEbukasBlog:


Lmao this pillock ! Estonia is an atheist country . You just shot yourself on the foot . This is epic .

Romania is not a poor country . In fact , Romania's economy is booming !

Your name should be GeneralZombie . So you can lead your imbecilic kind to destruction with ludicrous claims and spurious information

I saw a child who was rejected because he was accused of witchcraft about two weeks ago

KingEbukasBlog:


Idiot . It was done through extrapolation - this is an erroneous method of determining the religiosity of a population . Puny-brained zombie did they ask the entire population to ascertain that information ?
