Here's my problem with this: if we believe cobwebs, a natural occurence can be evil and demonic, then that opens the doors to every other thing in the world that occurs naturally also being demonic. A leaf falls from a tree as you're passing - demonic. Wind blows and shuts your door - demonic. Dust settles in your house because you haven't done any dusting for a while and the demons are clearly at play. Where does it end? At this rate we would constantly, endlessly be praying and shouting blood of Jesus over one thing or the other just because we can't explain it. Some people think it's spiritual laziness not to attribute the apparently inexplicable to spiritual forces. Other people think it's intellectual laziness not to inquire into the possible natural causes of all occurences. This latter group are more likely to live lives with less fear in their hearts and heads. |
GODKID98: Ballooning, sometimes called kiting, is a means by which spiders, and some other small invertebrates, can move through the air by releasing one or more gossamer threads to catch the wind. By this means they are wafted aloft and are at the mercy of the air currents. This procedure is mostly used by spiderlings to disperse, but larger individuals have been observed using it. The spider climbs to a high point, stands on its toes and points its abdomen to the sky, releasing fine silk threads from its spinnerettes until lift off occurs. Journeys achieved vary from a few metres to hundreds of kilometres. Even atmospheric data have collected samples of balloons at five kilometres above the earth and ships in mid-ocean have reported spider landings. Mortality is high.Help yourself |
wapeers70:It won't be well with you. fucking fraudster |
yorhmienerd:Money, academic prowess and a stable lifestyle are vices? You would rather be poor, illiterate and unstable, right? Did you just type blindly or did you read through what you typed? |
abhosts:That's a blanket statement and as such, it is wrong. Sure, there are proud, condescending Nigerian atheists as there are proud, condescending American atheists. Also, there are proud, condescending Nigerian Christians/Muslims. Atheists and people that adhere to non-Abrahamic faiths in Nigeria are generally viewed as weird at the best of times and as satan worshipper/occultists at the worst. It's a general Nigerian mentality that has nothing to do with the disposition or demeanor of the person. Nigerians generally have treat what they don't know or understand with fear and/or revulsion. |
This is one I can actually believe. He kinda even looks younger sef. |
36? That guy doesn't look a day under 45! Okay, I'm officially 10 years old. Where's my birthday cake? |
EfemenaXY:This is not even pay me and only me sef. I was earning 25k at the job I worked after leaving school and trust me, I don't think my salary ever took me past the third week. All my salary went back into my transportation, feeding and bare essentials. And that was when we weren't facing a bloody recession. Trust me, 25k should not even be minimum wage. |
10m? What the? What are we supposed to do with that? It's like stealing a car and returning one of the side mirrors. They had better make her cough up everything o Just imagine! 10m! |
IamNawty:Well? |
MrPresident1:Are you for real or are you just trolling? And what's supposed to be my business with proving if Buhari pledged allegiance to anybody or not? Sane people are walking on the sidewalk and this one has entered express. Just make one thing clear (not that I expect you to. You're apparently notorious for going off on wild tangents); do you think the actions of human beings have effects on the environment or not? |
Lol, the school must have thought the students everything they needed to know and had run out of things to do. |
MrPresident1:100%? Where in carnation did you get your statistics from? If you're using a car that emits harmful smoke to the environment, you're hurting the environment. If you're using anything that use CFCs as propellant, you're hurting the environment. In-fact, almost all of us hurt the environment one way or another. One of the points to the global warming crusade is to bring people to recognize how much their individual, seemingly insignificant actions affect the environment. But no, to people like you only big corporations do anything that's dangerous to the environment. As if it's not human beings that own and run those corps. And when did the global warming campaign cross lines with LGBTQ rights? Or are you high on something we're not familiar with? |
honourhim:Yh, but the fact is that for one, we've got enough to worry about in the here and now. On the second hand, we aren't completely certain about what the hereafter has in store for us. So why do we worry about it so much? At least we are sure of life's current certainties and range of possibilities so there's reason to worry. |
Lennycool:Are you minding that one? |
MrPresident1:Hehe, i would have thought the thread was for complete dolts. At least it was created by one. So in essence, regardless of how we hurt our planet, nothing will happen, abi? Why not go and become a farmer or fisherman in places where there have been oil spills? Why are those affected people complaining about how human actions are affecting natural ecosystems? Sometimes people just start threads on this site like they're not thinking about what they're typing, and this thread is one of them. |
honourhim:But babies don't worry about what happens after they're born |
Look at him. He looks like a criminal. Not surprised he's actually one. He should be locked up for life and lashed everyday. |
Ranchhoddas:But isn't it possible we would live happier, more contented lives if we know there's this possibility that this is all we've got and that we should give it our best shot? |
The question of the afterlife is one that one can simply not avoid. It’s there in pretty much every religion. Even the irreligious and non-religious sometimes find themselves asking “is this all there is or is there something more?”. Well, one thing is for sure; more people seem to like the concept of an afterlife than not. And why not? Most religions promise an afterlife free of pain, suffering, discomfort, unhappiness and all the other things that make life uncomfortable. To the poor, the promise of a time when there would be no lack for ever and ever is simply too alluring. For the sick, an eternity without illness or afflictions is irresistible. For the bereaved, the possibility of being reunited with their lost loved ones, never to lose them again is simply impassable. For the unhappy, a life free of pain without end just has to come after all the pain and suffering they have endured. It’s probably why almost all religions – even the remote ones – have a promise of a life after we pass on. But the above premise gives the impression that it’s only those who are unhappy with their lot in life that look forward to the life beyond this one. That’s far from the truth. Even the rich, the successful and those who lead generally happy lives do want it to continue. Look at the pharaohs of Egypt. They were kings and must have lived relatively comfortable lives (at least for their time). But they prepared for the afterlife probably even more than they allowed themselves enjoy their actual lives. Who wouldn’t want their enjoyment and happiness and success to continue for eternity? It’s very few people who are truly content with living just one life, regardless of how it pans out – and trust me, that level of contentment is pretty difficult to attain, especially if you’ve been exposed to life’s extremes. But the afterlife is a broad term. It’s not like the afterlife is one destination of happiness and enjoyment regardless of how you live your life. Almost all religions’ concepts of the hereafter have one happy and comfortable afterlife and one of suffering. Whether it’s heaven and hell for the Abrahamic faiths or a reincarnation as a higher or lesser creature for some other religions, each person’s afterlife is usually predicated on how they have lived their current lives. So if a comfortable and happy afterlife is not an absolute certainty and there is the possibility of a negative afterlife, why does the notion of a hereafter still persist? Well, the negative afterlife has it’s uses. For one, it serves as a sort of warning to get people to live their current lives in a good (usually socially acceptable) way. That’s not it’s only purpose though. The negative afterlife is also, like the positive one, a comfort mechanism. People who feel they have been cheated or robbed or wronged or done injustice to one way or the other usually get some form of reassurance or hope that even if their oppressors don’t get their just reward in this world, they’ll get it in the next. Of course it can be counterproductive when they consider they could very well also end up in the negative side of the afterlife but as at the point of consideration, that wouldn’t matter to them. All that would matter to them is that eventually, they would get justice. So is that all the afterlife is? A form of comfort for the human soul? I honestly don’t know. I guess we’ll find out on the other side. https://flashofgrey./2016/09/02/is-the-afterlife-a-comfort-mechanism/ |
So, OP, in essence we should continue to enage in acts that harm the environment, like using CFCs and burning fossil fuels, ehn? Your argument is like saying farmers shouldn't use fertilizers on infertile soil because if they do, they are insinuating that God cannot make the soil fertile and that God is dead. Look, whatever side of the religious (or non-religious) devide you may currently be committed to, one thing is certain: to us living humans, this world is ours to take care of and nurture, instead of hurt and destroy. At least if the climate change gospel has not done much, it has enlightened lots of people to how their actions, regardless of how minute they might think they are, can affect their immediate and even extended environment. If you refuse to learn this lesson then I just don't know what we should do with you. |
EyeHateGod:Oh wow. I did NOT know that last part was in the bible |
Dude was off to get cheap popularity BY getting Nigerian's panties in a bunch. I must say he succeeded. |
bluaero:do you need help? How is this supposed to destroy Nigerians? Some people just type anyhow like their brain went on vacation. |
Errrr, why do we need a different building or this? |
Babysho:This exactly |
Hooe they didn't come uo with this explanation after realizing they came up with a party name they couldn't explain. ![]() Anyways, those are pretty specific translatioms that don't take into consideration dialects and inflections. For example, in a particular inflection in Yoruba, it means "not coming" or "not coming". So how does that help their case? Aren't they coming to power? |
Wait, wasn't there a report of Jimoh Ibrahim winning Sherrif's primary? And which of the two winners will fly the PDP flag at the elections? Something is wrong here..... |
What kind of childish politics are we playing in this country bikonu? Instead just sticking to showing Edo people what makes their party the better choice, these ones are looking for old pictures to share on Facebook. Nigeria ehhhhh |



God will create time in His busy schedule to punish you this deaf dull@rd
