How can it get better when they don't think? They are like blind people walking in the dark without even white sticks to guide them.

Ordinary street cleaning requires a miracle in Nigeria,they have to pray for the street to be clean and free themselves of mosquitoes and preventable diseases that kills thousands on regular basis. Total lack of fundamebtal common sense that Jesus and Mohammad have replaced.

You took these words right out of my mind.

Religion / Re: Top 5 Richest Pastors In Africa Are From Nigeria by rinrin23(f): 1:51pm On Sep 19, 2014
Ukutsgp: but they did nt steal from u na? did they come to your house to steal ur money?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect for these men.

To be able to do what they do on such a large scale and remain unquestioned, and their follower base keeps increasing; its incredible really.

I admire their work, -from the pastors hustling on buses to the ones flying multimillion dollar jets.

emmyskies:

With all due respect ma, I urge you to hold your peace. Please mind the way you speak against men of GOD. All manner of sin will be forgiven to the son of man but that against the Holy spirit won't be forgiven. If you speak against a man of GOD, truely ordained by GOD, then you blasphem the Holy spirit as the scribes and pharisees did in time of Christ. So please ma'am, hold your peace and don't say a thing, even if you have anything against them, hold your peace

This is why Nigerian pastors get away with all kinds of atrocities!

Nigeria has bigger issues, we do not need a secessionist movement.

History has shown that spilts are messy, violent and lead to unnecessary loss of life. I understand dying for a cause, but there are more reasonable causes to die/live for.

I do not understand the reasoning behind this question.

Do women have special genes that makes them predisposed to being Theists?

There are men and women in religious settings, so why do you think this wouldn't apply to Atheism?

ISLAM is the only way. Christians are only deceiving themselves, and they will all go to hell for worshiping a fictitious Jesus and God.

And the Christians say the same about Islam and Allah. When are we all going to open our eyes and get past all of this religious bigotry.

There's no correct answer. There is no "only way". There is no "hell". Define fictitious and enlighten us on how Islam is not.

No one has the "truth", if anyone does it most certainly isnt any of the Abrahamic religions.

Poems For Review / Re: Are You A Poet? Why Do You Write? by rinrin23(f): 9:08pm On Sep 09, 2014
Many reasons:
- to quiet my mind
- to gain clarity on my emotions. Sometimes I don't completely understand how I feel until I've poured it out on paper
- because the voices tell me to grin. The don't let me rest/think/sleep until all the words floating in my head form phrases and those phrases form rhymes undecided
- so that I don't have to talk. My mind has a closer relationship with hands than my mouth, therefore I tend to favor writing to talking.

PastorKun:

Christianity is not based on the whole bible but on the teachings of Christ and the apostles which are found mainly in the new testament. There are clear instructions in the new testament that the old laws have been done away with. Even the ten commandments was 'reduced' or summarised to two laws which is to Love God and to Love our fellow man.

Understood.

So if the NT says to do away with the OT why is it still there. And why do preachers use it selectively.

Why isnt christianity based on the whole bible?. Why did God change his mind from the OT to the NT. Why did he go from violent to loving.
Why not start off with just the New laws?

PastorKun:

The difference between past violence in Christianity and violence as a part of the Islamic religion till date is that in Christianity violence can never be justified by the teachings or way of life of the founder of christianity(Jesus) where as in Islam the founder(mohammed) not only gave lots of violent instructions, he was a man of war and he personally led several battles. This is the example his followers are following today.

I understand your line of thought.

However if we choose to say Jesus is the founder of Christianity and there is no violence in his teachings, does this mean Christianity is/should be based solely on the new testament and Jesus's life. Thereby doing away with ALL old laws including the 10commandments in the old testament.

As the founder of the faith as a whole, Christians can choose to follow the example of Abraham and kill in the name of God. And they have. In fact all christians need to do is follow the ways of God described in the OT and they would be violent and justified in it. So why copy a prophet of God and not God himself.

The only reason its not as widespread as Islam's extremities is because the recent trend of Christianity is to pick and choose which parts of the bible they choose to follow.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Very interesting and informative write-up. I too share your disapproval of Islamic radicals, and all religious extremists.

However I don't see why you should stop being sympathetic for the loss of innocent lives simply because they happen to be of the same religious affiliation of the extremists on another side of the world.

You forget that Christianity wasn't always a religion of peace, and if christians weren't always choosing parts of the bible they want to follow, it would still be a violent religion.

I see no difference between the god of Islam and the god of the Torah/Old testament. Abraham was willingly going to kill his son simply because his god told him to. So hows that any different from what BH and ISIS are doing. So if you can say Christianity is a religion of peace, then so can moslems.

So many atrocities have been committed in the name of religion, not just Islam and Christianity but others too. The common denominator here is religion. IF we solve that problem, everything else will fall into place.

Funny.
" Sound homes with vast knowledge of the scriptures".

This is the bone of contention here.
Why do you, an African, happily buy a product of which the makers, the Jews, have for 2000yrs, pointed to and maintained as a fake product?

Are you, an African, a late victim to the game of classical social engineering ,gifted with some mysterious intelligence that makes you see in the scriptures what the Jews just can't see?

That is the question . What does an African see in the scriptures that Jews are just too blind to see?

Like the rinrin23 said, this question is supposed to make you think.
Think about it properly before going on the defensive.

If you accept that you are smarter than the Jewish race, fine, you can live with that delusion for as long as you like.
But what is your reward for all this supersmartness?
I am guessing that you expect some kind of reward after you are dead, right?
Well, the joke is on you buddy.
Big laugh.


Heaven- ( "a place void of empathy, an asylum of psychopaths Who are loving enough to be ok with millions of people innocent or not, burning for eternity" ) - is his reward
