Yungkid101:
In mobile browsers like opera mini, there's mobile and non-mobile(pc) view options in the browsers settings. Sir Seun the mobile/handheld view of nairaland in opera mini isn't attractive atall, it's only the pc/screen view that looks attractive to members.

Is there something I can do to disable the mobile handheld mode on Opera?

ujiriukiri:
The go up link shouldn't be at the bottom of the page, it should at the bottom of the screen.
A simple

position: fixed;
bottom: ?em;
left: ?em;

should fix it!

why?

Yungkid101:
They might have suffered the EBOLA outbreak because of their sins against God.

Have Nigerians not sinned against God? I hope you don't mean to tell us that Liberians are more sinful than Nigerians, because that's ridiculous.

I can remember late december 2013 before new year celebration. Pastor E.A Adeboye sent message to all RCCG parishes world wide that we should participate in a 100 days fasting because God showed him that something strange will happen in the year 2014 (Which is the EBOLA OUTBREAK).

Based on your story, the Liberian RCCG parishes also prayed and fasted. Why didn't God answer their prayers and spare their country? What is the purpose of fasting for 100 days if the disaster the prayer was meant to prevent still happens? That suggests that fasting doesn't work.

Yungkid101:
Sir if you don't want to suffer from divine curse in your life, DON'T DARE INSULT MY PASTOR

Your pastor has brainwashed you and turned you into his personal rottweiler. Jesus repeatedly criticised the pastors of his time; the pharisees.

Yungkid101:
I tell you my friend with confidence that if not for prayers and divine intervention from God, the case of EBOLA in Nigeria would have been as worst as that of Liberia.

But the Liberians also prayed. Why weren't their prayers answered? Our government treated the Ebola situation more seriously because, from Liberia's experience, they knew what would happen if they didn't. We also got lucky that the first doctors to encounter it handled it quite well.

@Seun, seems the link you posted is not at all related to InspireM, Inspired Autos the con/scam/fraud artist.
Correct us if we are wrong. It is 100% wrong to hide any of such posts. If only you know the gbese i have landed myself. You will open a donation thread for myself and family.. No jokes!

That's a mistake. A simple google search would have led you to the correct threads:

Yungkid101:
I've seen some confess.

Actors. People who think their dreams are real because they have been told so by their pastors: "If you fly in your dreams, you are a witch"

rosalieene:
They exist....

I have seen some

two times

long story sha

Please tell us the story as soon as you can.

raindodger13:
Based on personal experience, they exist. But it's bad that people are using it as an excuse to attack random old women.

Please share your personal experience with us as soon as you can.

The rodent creature was skinned. The body removed. Leaving the head and the fur that was around the body and the tail?

..and what are the meaningful and fulfilling things?..food and sex abi?..my own meaningful and fulfilling things is to die and resurrect to live forever?..

Bill Gates is trying to eradicate malaria. That's meaningful, isn't it? If he can achieve it then on his deathbed he can say to himself, "I did good".

naijadeyhia:
This clearly means you would not be open to interaction when it comes to your kids like you earlier said...You would rather indoctrinate them into Atheism.

False. I will teach them critical thinking, but I won't stop them from going to church if they choose to. The most grounded atheists are those who have tried religion and consciously abandoned it because they observed its flaws closely. My kids will all become atheists eventually.

Assuming you marry an Atheist lady and along the line she gets born again would you divorce her?

This is difficult to imagine, but it can happen if she's an atheist but not a rationalist. Such people don't believe in God but believe in astrology, mediums, homeopathy, spiritual energy, karma, the power of positive thinking, etc which are also not real. I hope to marry a rationalist.

holuwatobhy:
In addition sir..God has 3 replies to ones prayers:
(1) Yes
(2) Not now
(3) Something better.

Those are the same answers I get without praying. Sometimes I get what I want, and sometimes I don't. So why bother with prayer?

Omotayor123:
Can you marry a religious lady. Either Christian or Muslim

It would be unwise if the marriage is meant to be a life partnership. Imagine sharing a serious problem with your wife and instead of something sensible she tells you that demons are responsible and the solution is prayer and fasting. Or worse, she deliberately offers no support because she thinks the problem may drive you back to God. She'll try to use 'the rod' to force the children to go to church because the bible says so. If you decide to adopt a black cat and an owl, she'll say "over my dead body" because she thinks they can be used by witches to harm the family. Worst of all, when we are free, instead of using the time for acrobatics, she may use it for prayer and fasting and seeking the 'face of God'.

promise10:
It better to end my life now, if atheism is true! because it doesn't give sense to life. Because, nothing would matter!

That's a silly thought. Religion doesn't give meaning to life; people do. People choose to use their lives for meaningful and fulfilling things.
Religion teaches that the purpose of life is to die and go to paradise where you get to spend the rest of eternity praising God. How boring.

If you say they saw you as a lost cause and focused on protecting your siblings I am sure when you become a parent you would understand why they did that...until you do then do not say you are a lost cause to them plus even if you were so in their eyes you are not in Gods eyes.

I am certainly a lost cause to religion. There's no question about that. I am grateful that they gave up on trying to force me to be a Christian.

naijadeyhere: My parents never encouraged my atheism, but they ... decided to focus on 'protecting' my siblings, which was very smart.

The traedays blog comment shows that I was an atheist long before 2005 which is when I started Nairaland. Why is donnie still talking?

naijadeyhia:
Better put I would allude that seun was probably a closet atheist back then and was probably looking for an atheist community back then so was still going to church but he totally stopped at a point probably aftet nairaland emerged and his new found fame.

Thats what my instincts say.

I stopped going to church years before starting Nairaland. My folks forced me to attend church and the daily family prayer time for a while, but when I started asking questions they couldn't answer, they stopped, because they didn't want me to influence my siblings to lose their faith too.

Here's a thread titled "Why I Am Not A Christian Anymore" which I posted less than a year after starting Nairaland.

Funjosh:
Easy bro, he never said the thread got lost. he was only trying to point out possibilities of him not finding the thread again.

How can I be easy when he is lying against me and also calling me a liar?

donnie:
That will be difficult to find. I said what I said with the hope that you still have some integrity left, not because I can find the link.

God whom I serve is my witness.

It was on a certain thread where I stood on the truth that Jesus was the only way to the father. You tried to create a balance like "what about other religions... will they go to hell for not believing in Jesus?"

I insisted using scriptures, then came your reply.... "If so, I am no longer a Christian from today..."

This was several years ago, but it never left my memory. I don't know if I can find that thread, but I will try. Perhaps we lost some threads on nairaland when it crashed years ago?

Nevertheless it is a shame that even you will require a link from me as proof for something you already know in your heart.

It doesn't surprise me that you would make a serious claim without any evidence and insist that it's true. Thats how religious charlatans have always operated. However, I'm shocked that you got someone to believe you. I shouldn't really be shocked since I know how gullible people can be, but I am. This is why atheists must rise up and fight against the pervasive cancer of illogical thinking. When Nairaland crashed in 2014, we only lost posts made within January and June 2014, so it can't be the reason why you can't find the evidence for your bold claim.

tosyne2much:
Now my own question, Oga Seun, would you also raise your children to be atheists?

I'll raise them to base their beliefs on reason and evidence, and I won't let anyone try to force them to go to church. Sundays will be for family interaction, not indoctrination.

Pidgin2:
Their activities are real. I'm sure some are reading this and will likely counter this post.

What makes you believe that their activities are real?

rosalieene:
Besides, Seun maybe I will start putting you in my prayer for God to arrest you just like he arrested Paul (Saul)

Does prayer actually work? People have been praying for the naira to rise, and it's not happening.

Pidgin2:
Lol, the irony of this issue is that real witches and wizards will be posting here and trying to convince people that they are not real because it is good for them that you don't believe they are real so that they can operate without restrictions and also initiate the skeptical

What is the basis for your belief that "real witches and wizards" actually exist?

NgcoboP:
this is why we told seun not to hide the several threads made about his fraudulent activities... they where quite lengthy...try using Google archive to search Nairaland

I did not hide them. Here's one: https://www.nairaland.com/2913809/case-fraud-against-chucky234

donnie:
Don't mind Seun's lie. It was right here on nairaland he renounced Christ. In fact it was in response to my post.

Yes, I said so!

If that were true, you would have posted a link to the thread where it happened instead of just making the claim.

ikombe:
They can reproduce na

But he wants an impure GSD. A mix. Is there a market for that?

Why female?

I don't believe that my consciousness will persist after my brain stops working. There is no evidence for the idea of disembodied consciousness.

ever811:
there would be no need for anything if I have no hope of an everlasting life.

As an atheist, you choose your own purpose. You make your own meaning. You select what is important to you, and then you pursue it. You plan your own legacy. This is certainly harder than going to church and living according to the teachings of your pastor, but it's more rewarding.

HCpaul:
But the delusion of the CAC's is immeasurable.

We had to manage it for a while because there was no born again church in town. My parents led the children's church which I attended.

If you've experienced witchcraft, please share the experience, so we can ask you questions to determine whether you interpreted it correctly.
