blueyedgeek: Yes I am and you should really take this seriously as God is trying to send you a message.

huh?

Most times we overlook simple things like this and the enemies and evil ones use it against us. Be vigilant son of man, God is speaking to you.

You have a really important destiny on this earth God is sending you a message using the rainfall.

I knew it, i thought as much.

You are like the clothes on the rope that will never dry.

Do you mean, my clothes will not dry again?

As long as you continue to deny the existence of your maker, your existence will remain like that of the clothes that will never dry meaning that you will never be able to fulfill your real purpose here on earth.

But, i acknowledge the maker, the almighty Spider-Man. TSM. or am i missing something?

Come to Jesus now and let him give your life real meaning.

For twenty-four hours now i've given my life to this Jesus you proferred, but no, the rain has continued to be defiant, abrupt and incessant.

Don't you think i have offended the "rain-god"?

Dapo777: Fear of future evil?

Lol! not that.

If there is/was a creator, it is obvious that it/he/she does not interfere with the universe nor in the activities of its inhabitants.

Dapo777: He could be existing,But even If he exist he can't be the Christian God. Because the acclaimed characteristics of the Christian God completely contradict What he does.

Do you understand "economics" very well? The forces of demand and supply control the society and all its economic activities... the number of students that apply for a particular institution, the price of a Burberry shirt, the wage of labourers, etc. are all controlled by this force.

Likewise is the evolutionary force... 100% natural. Currently, i don't think there was/is someone behind it, albeit i have some apprehensions.

blueyedgeek: hoe low she !!

What??

Are you an MOG?

I think i have a problem! The rain.

For the umpteenth time now, this rainfall has been peculiarly unfair to me. Recently, whenever i embark on an auspicious adventure, it starts to rain discouragingly. I have so wondered! What have i done to deserve such wrath on me?

Washed clothes and left them in the sun to dry, but this same rain won't let them dry. #cry. Two weeks and counting, these clothes have remained wet.

I feel i have a problem. I know i have a problem. I guess it's spiritual. Please, resident MOGs, please pray for me and if necessary, recommend fast-therapy and type of anointing oil to use. Help save a soul!

RikoduoSennin: It is wrong to believe/Conclude this traits are heightened because of religion. They are in all of us but some religion like christianity helps its members to control/get rid of those traits not the other way around.

Religion helps no one get rid of no traits. Personal effort does!

Dapo777: How would you describe a man that sits you down with very hot fire he created beside him,telling you: you know What? You see Dat fire over there? I created it,and It's very hot,But I don't wish you to go into the fire because I love you,But I still created the fire. Here is the deal,I know I gave u ur freewill But I don't want u to do ur will But mine. I want u to love me and do everything I say So I can be happy,But just incase you don't want to do my will,that fire over there is waiting to receive you(smiles) ,I am not forcing you to do my will ooo But I created that fire over there to torture you If u don't do my will But I still ain't forcing u ooooo yet I created a very hot fire to BURN you for eternity,you see that I am not forcing you,don't think that fire is a threat against your will,see that fire as my anger for u not obeying my will because I love u and I love u enough to see you burn for eternity. Tell me who do you know loves as much as I do? Who else is as caring as to see his children burn in he'll for eternity as me? You see that I am the Most caring? THAT'S my boy.
Now do you think the man that said all that is sane?.

Lol!

unyours: I simply can't just imagine a place without GSM, no electricity, no borehole(na stream or river things o), no nairaland or facebook, probably nude with no houses, no eating of sardine, indomie and other processed food, no eating of meat but only fruits and shrubs, no dancing of skelewu, alanta, shoki or azonto, no comedy, no nolly-/bolly-/gholly-/holly- wood, no primier league or world cup. Hmmm, i just thank God for putting that tree in the garden of Eden cos the world would have been boring without that feat. Only singing halleluya-hossana from morning till night...

sod09: Inshort everyone is afraid of it....stop the pretence

What is your basis of making such a blanket statement? Have you conducted any research to generalise that "everyone" is afraid of death?

I wonder how an individual will just think that "everybody" will share same phobia with him. Who are you sef?

Seun: Nobody who is mentally ok wants to die. Anyone who claims not to fear death is either seriously depressed, deeply brainwashed, in denial, or a liar and hypocrite.

Fear of death is an unnecessary burden. It may be a health problem. There's no phobia that cuts across all.
That does not mean that one should deliberately kill oneself.

Do you fear failure?

priest2u: Even without religion , I still don't believe everything ends here. I believe there is going to be a judgement after death because of the great evil I'm seeing the world. Also the world justice system is corrupt and many are escaping judgement , there is going to be a perfect judgement and a perfect judge who will reward every soul for all their deeds both good and evil.

This is a weird world you know, Christians may be on the wrongside of belief, likewise Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, Pagans, etc.
What is supposed to be the basis of this "perfect" judgement you propose. Deeds or belief/label?

frank317: So is the wager for muslims and pagans too? Or just christians alone?

Muslims believe in God too so are they exempted? Have they made the right choice?

The wager is so childish that it assumes that belief in god, only, is enough.

Anecdotes, just like the hot water and salt crap.
Or nothing less than hallucination.

FOLYKAZE: She needs most of my time abeg.

Lol.

Reason, respect, empathy.

Okay. Thanks.

Fynestboi: You read new meaning to old things the more you study, because i first saw this in 2006.
Maybe you only read for reading sake.

2006 is relatively quite recent. The wager-theory was propounded in the 17th century.

Pascal's wager doesn't hold any water. It is simply a system of feigning belief in a god, just in case.

If this god was really omniscient, he would still see through this ruse.

Fynestboi: you need to read the OP again and think of who needs prayer most.

Your OP is no new knowledge. Pascal's wager is quite old. Maybe, you're just beginning to read.

I pray you see the truth and not remain in your delusion and self deceit.

The wish is mutual bro. I also pray for you.

Fynestboi: funny.

A leader of a religion must be a holy man, whose personal life is exemplary, morally outstanding, with an impeccable character, a life worth emulating, a man that is not pre-occupied by the acquisition of money.

Does Yahweh live an examplary lifestyle?

Have you read of Krishna, Nelson Mandela, Buddha and/or Mahatma Ghandi?

stop been deluded, you cant see spiritual things you can only perceive them. If i may ask you do you believe in demon?

You're just picking up words randomly.
I do not believe in imaginary, failure-excuse-channels that are only found in the folklores of primitive men.

You say you perceive "spiritual things", please, perceive "an angel" or "demon" and describe to me.

Fynestboi: "Christianity"

Your God-gamble is now restricted. You have already chosen one-god as genuine and supreme. Why have you chosen the true god to be Yahweh/Jesus and not Amadioha, Allah, Sango, Amun, or Krishna?

am sure you know that today there are numerous organizations in our day that go by the name "religion", some of these organization are demonic cults,

Here, stop making spurious statements that you cannot substantiate. This is no Nollywood. Have you seen a demon before?

Fynestboi: lol i used capital letter "G" you should know am refering to the God that created the heaven and earth. The True GOD and not gods

To me, whether "g" or "G" doesn't really make any difference.

Your OP advocates "gamble". But, you forgot that belief in God, according to religions, is not enough. You have to believe in their gods.

So, my question still stands, which religion do you practice?

You would have made more sense if "religions" preach just one God.

For instance, which god do you serve?

Can PaulCr7 stop typing incoherent gibberish and posting on this thread please?

@OP, after so much thought and research, i realised that the universe/god does not give a phuck about us(the inhabitants). I also noticed how religions personalise god, it reeked of egocentrism. I couldn't believe that such a god could exist, i.e. a god that will give you an edge over your neighbour and to the detriment of the neighbour.
A god that'll judge people based on their belief rather than what they did, to me, was a human invention and politically inspired.

Empiree: You sound confused. Sounds like you suffering from hyponatremia. Just listen to yourself

Actually, i do not fear death. The reason you may dread death so much is probably because of your belief in Heaven and Hell.
On several occasions i've been involved in some frightening-accidents, i never panicked, just thought of my loved ones and how they'll miss me. That was all.

Now, you'd rather open another thread, you're obviously derailing this thread.

MissMeiya: Thumbs up. I love this

So tell me, how mixed are you?

onstelly: Wow can't believe am seeing this for the first tym, am from anambra too, in unzik from adazi

I graduated from Unizik... Nice to meet you

LordReed: You contradict yourself when you say "Abrahamic".

By Abrahamic religions, i mean Semitic religions, which include the three Western Monotheisms(Judaism, Christianity and Islam). These religions have the story of Noah recorded in their theological books.

Toyolad: so you know this and u're still asking abt how blacks came to be...God be praised

To know, is not to believe.

LordReed: Was Noah Jewish?

In Abrahamic religions, Noah was the tenth and last of the pre-flood patriarchs. None of these Patriarchs was African. This is supported by the fact that the Bible recorded, that Noah cursed Ham to beget Blacks.

LordReed: Where was it stated that Adam and Eve were Jewish?

They were the progenitors of "Noah and family".
And Noah was Nigerian, ba?
