Don't show your cluelessness here.

Aeroplane flying is normal but jet fighters cruising around every two hours is very abnormal.

Have you even seen a jet fighter in flight live before?

I do not create this thread to cause tribal E-War. It's simply a wish - my personal wish - for Lagos State!

The motive behind it is; creating a Lagos with no or less traffic hiccups with good standard Roads Network!

borders on blasphemy, while some others see it as no big

Lemee help you out. Is it the day you first discovered yourself on earth that you became religious? Did you come with a religious-conscious mind right from day one of your birth? If no, that's the same way the first sets of human beings to surface on earth didn't come with a relgion-mentality, but they came by it. So, the use of the brain to live your life precedes religion and it is not until you are told that something is good or bad before you'll know. For example, all the early philosophers didn't believe in religion persay, but none of them was recorded as avbad person, e.g Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates, etc. So in conclusion, it isn't religion that makes you moral, but your own personality. Religion is just a kind of deception played upon people in the name of God, yet the ALMIGHTY GOD isn't in any religion of the world.

Let's congratulate these guys for actually succeeding and understanding that victory comes from preparation and not empty "hope".

Invest in your people and leave propaganda alone.

Governments give moral laws and fine we know that they are humans, but religious leaders give moral laws and lied to you that it is Almighty GOD who commanded those things. That's the lie in it.

I maintain, before religion arrives, our forefathers have been moral people. Religion did not start immediately humans discovered themselves on earth. So go and check if the people who existed first in our land when religion hasn't started were not moral. That's the reason why we came with our brain for God's sake.

Most things that are good also have bad sides to them. Sugar is good and bad; medicines(drugs) are good and bad. Alcohol is good and bad. Life is both good and bad. That's where the use of the brain is needed.

1. Obey morally-good laws made by your governments.
2. Do morally good things according to your commonsense and initiatives. Goodness and Badness can never be generally spelt out, because what is good to you may be bad to another.

According to commonsense, before the arrival of religion to our country, many people have been good. They even keep their virginity as girls until the time of marriage, yet they didn't follow a particular law given by a so-called god but they followed TRADITION(equivalent to constitution). And tradition can't be the same in every nation.

So I say once more, GOODNESS and BADNESS can't be generally defined, but by the use of individual brains, we can judge what is good from what is bad, yet our judgement can never be the same even though we belong to the same belief system.

The highlighted portions are questions that I also asked christians that were concerned about me not going to church and not believing. I also said I wanted a Paul experience before I would believe, but thank God I wasn't blinded. God is merciful. These guys couldn't give answers to my questions and to be honest they really weren't so informed about the religion/God; but they were messengers in God's divine plan for my salvation. They made me ask questions that today by His grace I can answer. I even have a similar post about exclusives of God's on my blog and ever since I challenge myself to try to answer the questions that I had, not because I doubt God or my salvation but because the bible asks us to be always ready to defend the hope that is in us with meekness and fear whenever we are asked(1 Peter 3:9)

To your questions:

What is exclusive to Christians? Is it money, happiness, long life?

None of these things, Joy, yes but not money, not long life.

First, I would like to put it out there that I dislike the prosperity gospel (can I even call it gospel?). That didn't change even after I found Jesus, I only stopped being so judgemental. And I think it is misleading. It tells people that Jesus came to give them money and the good things (wordly desires) in this life. But you don't even have to finish reading all the gospels before you spot the elephant in the room.

Now, I know a lot of people have found Jesus from this kind of teaching, the bible even says 'in pretence and in truth as long as Christ is preached'(Phil 1:18) but it is the most shallow kind of doctrine there is. Was Jesus a show off? Was he proud? Did he brag about his ministry or His miracles? Did he ever promise to make his followers rich? I'm sure your answers are the same as mine.

Christianity is living like Jesus Christ and the handbook is the new testament. It is a life of restraint, self-control, love, kindness, humility, forgiveness, peace, hope. It is not easy carrying your cross, but it is the most fulfilling kind of life anyone can ever live and it is by the Holy Spirit we can be able to live like this. By ourselves, we cannot. An unbeliever, cannot overcome sin by theirselves. That is exactly why Jesus came to save us because it leads to destruction. He sets people free from bondage, addiction, anything one may be struggling with. He is a God of miracles. The bible also instructs us on marriage and daily living which I believe covers business running too.

I sense your idea of christianity is the madness that drove me to become an atheist. Don't give up on God, search for Him and He will open your eyes to see that what you think is enjoyment, you can actually live in peace and joy without them and have a strong sense of purpose in your life plus eternal life.

In my blog, I explained four exclusives so far, but there are many more, although I am still learning. Jesus said 'If you love me you would keep My commandments', so these are actually for those that keep His commandments, not religious christians. And they are: Life (Eternal life), Holy Spirit, Dominion, Peace of God, Love (Perfect love), Wisdom, Hope, Faith, Fortitude. These are intangibles that Jesus gives us. He blesses His followers by providing for our needs to be able live in this passing world. But He certainly is the money doubler they now seem to associate with Him.

otemanuduno:
That extension is the problem. Lay down good principles for yourselves. For example, I don't drink beer as a person. That does not give me the licence to name alcohol a sin and condemn others for it. Better still, point the damages in it out and leave it like that. But when you use the name of the Almighty God as the one who commanded that taking it is A SIN, then you are even more worse than the people you are trying to help, because you are lying against God himself.

codemaniacs:
that's how its to be done, but nepotism and corruption ruined Nigeria, the North was in power when the oil boom started so they allocated most of the oil blocks to themselves and since Ironsi abolished regionalism, it made difficult for a southerner to own an oil block back then.

otemanuduno:
That is not what I am talking about. And that supposed law of nature you just mentioned is not general. Does smoke come down when it goes up? That's what I am saying. If you put on trouser in an SU Nigerian church, they call you sinner. Go to other churches and you are named among their choirs. Is the law of not wearing trouser general?

The only law that I will keep as a man are the good laws made by the government of my country to curtail crime. Then I will form a good principle for myself to follow. Every other laws don't apply to me. I USE MY BRAIN TO DETECT WHAT IS RIGHT AND THEN I FOLLOW IT. THEN WHAT IS WRONG TO ME, I DESIST.

otemanuduno:
How do you read write-ups which is only about 10% of the whole and arrive at your conclusion? All those things you read up there happened just at the arrival to earth when no law has been made, no constitution and no conscience. Haven't you heard, WHERE THERE IS NO LAW, THERE IS NO SIN. Sin applies to human being when law came, isn't it? Animals do whatever they like, yet they haven't sinned. You know why? They have no law.

So, next time think it through before you arrive at a conclusion. Also, the concept of SIN is built by religion for the betterment of their own selves; NATURE GAVE NO LAW AND GOD GAVE NO LAW. IT IS LEFT FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO DEVELOP A GOOD CONSCIENCE AND FOLLOW IT. THERE IS NO GENERAL LAW!!!

AnonyNymous:
Lol, Trump is doing this sh*t on purpose, he's a reality TV star, he's a good actor. . . he and Hilary have been friends for a long time, they're even distantly somewhat related. Hilary is the 'chosen' one by the billionaires that run America from behind the scenes, and Trump is just a ploy to erase any for of opposition. . . with the way he's been acting recently its like he's trying to lose. Lol. But the dumb hillbilly republican sheeple are following him around

That is the good thing about economic hardship;it has no religious,denominational,ethnic,tribal or party affiliation. When it hits a people,there is no amount of propaganda,channels TV bought news slots,$5m ugu exporting,that wud stop them from showing their disapproval.
Obiano propaganda facade is gradually clearing from people's eyes.The only state governor that buys dedicated slots on channels tv.
The one thing Obiano brought back from America is how to package a N1000 product to make it luk like a N100m one.

Doug07034780891:
Clown, you don't have any point because there is nothing on the thread that suggest that Obiano is not a performer. People protest all over the world even when you spoonfeed them..
