Is it true that Jehovah's witnesses don't pray? If not, what's the difference between the way you pray and the way most Christians pray?

1990news:
I can see a future coming, whereby man wont depend on guns, bombs and etc to fight war, rather they would depend on magic.

By magic, you mean supernatural powers, right? What is your reason for believing that supernatural powers will become more effective than technology in the future, considering the rate at which technology is improving while supernatural claims are being exposed as lies?

Probably before that happens, man in general should be able to use at least 40-60% of their brain capacity.

Actually, our brains are constantly working. The idea that we only use a small fraction of our brain power is just a myth.

Religious beliefs by then would be a past issue, and man would solely depend on my mind, inner strenght, knowledge and the self power to control his world. Still my theories and illustrations again. So call me, TheBeast.

Again, I must ask you for the basis of your belief that supernatural powers exist and will be widely used in place of technology someday.

RabbaRabbi:
Now here is my question to the atheists. How did man came into existence, if there is no God in existence??

Your question has been answered by scientists. You can read the answer here:
http://humanorigins.si.edu/education/introduction-human-evolution

The only way to win over a well informed atheist is to provide some strong evidence that supports your claims.

Muslims believe that Jesus didn't die on the cross because someone else took his place. They love him as a prophet of Islam. They believe that his message was Islamic but it has been corrupted by Christians. On this basis, a Muslim can claim to love Jesus.

I'd like to watch the video too. I remember listening to it as a boy. The event was the Living Spring musical concert.

Sexomnia seems to have little to do with the "spiritual spouse" superstition, but of course this doesn't mean that the superstition is real.

awelekiti:
you can say that again my broda. Let's just hope the new arrangement would work as laid down

Hope? If a policy doesn't make sense, how can it work?

When will this stop? I've never felt so helpless. We thought things could not get worse. We were wrong. I wish we had economists in charge.

sigh. i don't even.

Tallesty1:
The owner of this forum told me that the reason my friend experienced sleeping paralysis each time he traveled to the village was because his bed was uncomfortable. I didn't even bother arguing with him.

Your belief is that the overweight demons wait for him to wake up, sit on him for some seconds, and then leave. How does this benefit them?

TSOM:
Seun , you reside in Ogun State which is as traditional as any typical african settlement can be with eerie fetish practices. You also believe there's no God, hence no Devil or spirit/ethereal beings.

Let's test your resolve.

Seun, what if you walk drive home tonight and right there on your doorstep you find bones stringed to feathers and wrapped with a reddish cotton band attached to knotted palm fronds. There's no way around it with removing.

Seun, on your honour, would you dare to remove it?

The question is open to other self-proclaimed atheists too.

I'm not afraid of feathers, bones, cotton bands of any color, or palm fronds. I don't see why stringing them together would make them more scary. I would use a stick to push it aside, and walk into the house, smiling and shaking my head about how stupid the person who placed the silly contraption on my doorstep must think I am. Later, I would pour some fuel over it nonchalantly and burn it. I'd avoid inhaling the fumes.

zenith4biz:
I have been having encounters with strange girls at night,

In your dreams? That doesn't sound like spiritual marriage at all. It sounds more like spiritual casual sex. What makes you think it's bad?

but I followed the prayer points you highlighted and during the course of my sleep I had dream divorcing a strange lady.

You didn't specifically say that you have never slept with strange girls in your dreams since the divorce. Have you had any sex dream since?

hahn:
There is a logical explanation for this www.nairaland.com/3380223/logical-explanation-spirit-husband-wife

I'm trying to get them to precisely explain what they mean by" spiritual marriages" before discussing the likely scientific explanations.

How does a spiritual marriage get started? Is it necessary to have a marriage ceremony in one's dream? Is polygamy permitted?

Lust, heavy seduction, masturbation, inability to have children, sex in the dream, hatred, rage/temper, sexual perversion, slavery, rejection, bestiality/desire to have sex with animals, occult activities, stagnancy and inability to break through, weakness and tiredness, sexual harassment (spiritual and physical), heaviness.

How do you differentiate between lust that is caused by a spiritual marriage and lust that is caused by being a warm-blooded man or woman?

TSOM:
Seun, I posted something similar to this months ago but for some odd reason it got hidden.

Here again, before the viewing public, I'd ask you this:

Seun , you reside in Ogun State which is as traditional as any typical african settlement can be with eerie fetish practices. You also believe there's no God, hence no Devil or spirit/ethereal beings.

Let's test your resolve.

Seun, what if you walk drive home tonight and right there on your doorstep you find bones stringed to feathers and wrapped with a reddish cotton band attached to knotted palm fronds. There's no way around it with removing.

Seun, on your honour, would you dare to remove it?

The question is open to other self-proclaimed atheists too.

Please post this on a new thread. I already have my answer, but I don't want to derail this thread.

elfmann:
Yea..but what about the shame when she does it in the public or often? Doesn't shame have weight?

Yes, it has weight, but abused women experience shame too. In addition to bruises, broken bones, and disfigured faces.

sarahade:
If a man slaps you break his head make sure he sleeps in the hospital. He wont try it again.if you like be doing mumu until he kills you.

It is not advisable for a woman to retaliate physically against an abusive man. The escalation of violence has never solved any dispute in the history of mankind, and it's particularly unwise to pick a fight with someone who is stronger than you. The best thing to do is to break up on the spot. If he is able to convince your friends and family that he is truly sorry, take him back. If he does it again, end the relationship permanently. You should not be in a relationship in which you live in the fear of what your partner might do to you if you say/do something he doesn't like.

freshvine:
A wife slaps his husband....... The man must've done something wrong. He should find way to make his wife happy, maybe there's something bothering her. Is she pregnant?

A man slaps his wife....... The woman should run now that she have the opportunity. The man is wicked and violent. He could go on to kill the woman someday.

Narrative of my fellow gender on abuse

I disagree with the double standard, but you should know that the average man is 50% stronger than a woman of the same weight. Men have more muscles, and women have more fat. Also, men tend to date and marry women who are smaller than them. So a woman slapping her man will generally do far less damage than a man doing the same. No physical abuse should be tolerated, but women need more protection.

What a deeply dumb question from a secular POV. If abuse isn't a good reason for divorce, then what the Bleep is a good reason for divorce?

This story proves that we would have no morals without religion.

Wow, he left. What was he afraid of?

MrPresident1:
You Seun are a accident of nature?

I exist because my parents decided to have kids. Now my life is mine and I can dedicate it to any purpose that I deem worthy.

Omooba77:
Bible is not fictitious.Noah's ark was found somewhere around Turkey;so many other infallible proofs

Do you have a picture of the said ark, or any evidence of this claim?

shadeyinka:
1. Given all the alphanumeric codes, what is the probability that randomly juggling them together can produce the simplest C++ code to print "Hello World!"
(Pls neglect the place of the C++ compiler as a means of simplifying this problem)

If you have billions of years and millions of developer workstations, it can happen. But the language of C++ is not designed for evolution.
In Genetic Programming, programs are represented in a way that allows working programs to be created through an evolutionary process.

2. You found an AI code that controls a robot and you were told that the code actually randomly produced themselves after billions of years of someone juggling them together.

Using Genetic Programming and by conducting the mutation and artificial selection on a supercomputer, this is possible in much less time.

3. How logical is it for someone who opens up a computer only not to find the so-called "software" and his conclusion is "Science has just proved that softwares don't exist". Or if softwares exist, what is the colour, mass or volume?

DNA is the software for development. It's the software that enables a microscopic embryo to grow into a complex animal like a Zebra or man. We have looked at living things under the microscope and we have seen that there's a copy of the DNA in every cell. We have seen it!

Concerning the "soul", do you have any good reason to believe that your "soul" existed before you were born and persists after your death?

MrPresident1:
Boda Seun, do you think nature is alive and conscious?

I believe that all biological life is alive, and I think higher animals like elephants, chimpanzees, and killer whales are definitely conscious.

adjoviomole:
Besides,the children of israel,egyptians,romans were all recorded in d bible as part of history so that's a tangible proof too going by your own logic.

How does the existence of Jews, Romans and Egyptians prove that the Genesis account of the creation of the universe in 7 days is accurate?

PreciousErhauyi:
The gospel of Christ is so true and glorious with all splendor because 'I am a living proof.' Trust me when I say so!

Would you devote your entire life to Islam because a muslim on the Internet told you that he is a living proof of the gloriousness of Islam?

johnydon22:
Good points - so basically we are one of the numerous accidental effects of a random chaotic uncharted cosmic dance?

Yes. Everything we know at this point in time suggests it. We are lucky to exist, and should make the most of it, as cloudgoddess once pointed out. The view that nature was made for man is as absurd as the view that the United Kingdom was made for little Prince George.

felixomor:
Please visit here: https://www.nairaland.com/3317841/how-jesus-deceived-christians

- By an atheist.

Then come and tell us what u think.

You seem to feel that anyone who publicly expresses disagreement with your beliefs is attacking you. By this measure everything Christians say is an attack on atheists and we should be offended by them.

KingEbukasBlog:
North Korea is an atheist state , an atheist state oo

lmaooo

The God of North Korea is their Dear Leader, who is praised for every good thing that happens in the country, but is not blamed for any of the many bad things happening as a result of his insane dictatorship. Sounds familiar?

honourhim:
There are many religious countries that have developed far ahead of us.

Such countries probably got developed in spite of religion and not because of it. Can you name some of them?

We occupy such a small part of the universe, and have existed for such a short time compared to the age of the universe, the earth, or even life on earth, that I'd say that it is absurd to even entertain the notion that the universe and nature were created for us. Especially when we have no evidence that the universe was created by a conscious being who had a particular purpose for creating it.
