Seun:


I'm not afraid of feathers, bones, cotton bands of any color, or palm fronds. I don't see why stringing them together would make them more scary. I would use a stick to push it aside, and walk into the house, smiling and shaking my head about how stupid the person who placed the silly contraption on my doorstep must think I am. Later, I would pour some fuel over it nonchalantly and burn it. I'd avoid inhaling the fumes.

One yoruba adage addresses this thread:

"Ti omode ba de ibi eru, eru a baa".

TSOM:
Perfect!

It's easy to brag and swat it off like a hovering fly. Now let's test that resolve of yours.

Are you willing to test your disbelief in the efficacy of charms?

You reside in Sango-Otta, so how about in eerie, fetish localities like Oju-Ore, Lafenwa and Adalemo? Lanfenwa especially.

There are nearly always ritualistic sacrifices in these places and on streets too. How about picking them up and throwing them away? Are you up for it?

hopefulLandlord:
and the goalpost is shifted just as expected

me just dey look you like

TSOM:
Pray tell, how then does it equate shifting the goal posts?

honourhim:


i would love to see you do it. I'm talking just for the fun of it.

hopefulLandlord:


with all pleasure my good sir,

you said there's an "original" charm that would make the target leave house even till 2023 if you place it on his/her doorstep


I am simply asking you if you've placed such at someone's doorstep before, did they leave house? how long did they stay in "exile"?


if you still don't understand, kindly say so and I'll gladly break it down further

hopefulLandlord:
calm down, no one is chasing you

isn't it funny how this moved from "feathers at your door" to ........ this?

"just as expected" because I've been through discussions such as these and they all lead to this

next would be for Seun to go and desecrate a shrine.......

but hey, I lack such comprehension

TSOM:
Now you're wrong, again. Your presuppository assertions have exposed you yet again.

You're hoping I'd ask Seun to desecrate a shrine so you (atheists) can hide behind the excuse of violating/desecrating/vandalizing private/public property being criminal.

No, I won't give you that escape route.

He'd be ALLOWED to do what he pleases with the charm or fetish sacrifices to prove they are ineffective - he'd be allowed to desecrate it.

Seun, the challenge is still open. In Lafenwa, Adalenmo or Oju-Ore.

HardMirror:

Yeah yeah... We all know christians are scared of charms (even more than their god), and you folks are surprised atheists don't share this fear with you.

mrmrmister:
Oh no
What if something happens? Will you take responsibility?

Viktor1983:


No one gave me any power, im powerful on my own,I'm just saying that I don't believe in fairy objects and tales. .
I'm only afraid of nukes, guns and bombs.Lol

TSOM:
Perfect!

As a kid, I went visiting my grandparents. I was playing in his room and somehow managed to remove his "gbekude" from where it was hanging out on the wall. I still have the scars of whip on my back.

Curiously though, he did not die until around twelve years later.

hahn:


Thanks for sharing.

Tai Solarin used to jog back in the day with senior mayflower students and they went around picking up coins that were offered to the gods. Most of those guys are successful in their various fields.

I just wish these people put bundles of money on their "sacrifices"

TSOM:
Something like what? According to Sèun and other atheists, charms are ineffective so it's safe to assume nothing strange would happen. He doesn't have to worry about a physical or legal retaliation for desecrating the aforementioned.

The challenge still stands, people. Right in your community.

DeSepiero:
If you're bent on this, you should rather bring the charms to Seun's door step and see if he'd burn and discard them as he stated, rather than ask him to go look for charms to discard. That doesn't sound sensible.

TSOM:

Dude, are you dyslexic or you just have the urge to partake in an ongoing discussion when exceeds your level comprehension?

I asked Seun if he'd pickup a charm and he admitted he would. Now I'm challenging him to test his resolve which is only right and in line with the sequence of arguments.
Pray tell, Einstein, how then does it equate shifting the goal posts?

Sit back, dude. Read and learn. Only contribute when it's meaningful.

iDealWithFools:
Why not use your hands? your using a stick show you fear the band of feathers and palm fronds.

DeSepiero:


It could be venomous and infectious; that has got nothing to do with spirituality.

iDealWithFools:
Like seriously? venomous and infectious? a band of feathers and palm fronds can be venomous and infectious? Wow!.

The fact that you allude it can be what you mentioned show the potency of the charm, because some charms are venomous and do physical harm.

Not all charm do spiritual harm.

DeSepiero:


Bands of feathers and palm fronds could be finely spiked and smeared with venom by those mischievous fellows.

iDealWithFools:
Venom of what, rat? come on. such excuses are lame, hope you know that.

beside, be them spiked with venom or not, you should show you're not afraid by touching it with your hands since you believe it harmless.

dblackninja:


Your moniker seriously behooves you sir.
I don't even know what to reply to this unintelligent comment

DeSepiero:


Google "venomous organisms" you'd be surprised.

There's wisdom in seeing a potential hazard & taking precaution. I'd be aware of the physical implications of touching a fetish substance. Even lab scientists use gloves while collecting blood samples for HIV test and other tests because it could contain pathogens.
Don't speak as if you're dumb!

iDealWithFools:
And yours reek of the dark continent that celebrates every vice known in this world.

I'm sure the ways of ninjutsu are as alien to you as the very essence of ignorance made manifest in the thing that is you.

if you don't know what to reply, kindly shoo away and remain shooed.
