IDnoble1: when there is no spiritual power as you claimed, then what makes money comes overnight to the people who do money rituals?
Money doesn't come overnight to anybody as a result of rituals. Except in Yoruba, Igbo, and Religious movies, which we unwisely believe to be real. People who consult ritualists are duped by the ritualists, basically, but they can't report the ritualists without incriminating themselves.
joseph1832: Not always true. Some atheist husbands don't prevent their wives from going to church, they rather encourage it. I have atheist friends whose wives go to church with their kids.
That's why I said he will try to prevent the wife from forcing the children to go to church. Sometimes you try and you don't succeed.
Sveen: And erm, atheist are not really much in our society, how do you intend to find one?
2dugged: I would like to point out that this is my personal opinion, I know the bible admonishes us to not be equally yoked with unbelievers,but looking at the pros and cons, it will be more advantageous as a woman to marry an atheist than to marry from another faith considering that doctrines of religions are anti-women and tend to portray the woman as inferior
An atheist husband would try to prevent you from forcing your children to go to church, and wouldn't go with you. How do you feel about that?
joseph1832: It's usually not real, until it happens to you.
Why do spiritual powers only manifest in the midst of uneducated and superstitious people? Because illiterates are easily fooled. Someone who doesn't like this woman wanted to make her suffer, and all he had to do was accuse her of having imaginary spiritual powers.
In a sane society, the stupid boys who beat her would be ashamed to show their faces in any photo. And if they did, they would be arrested and charged to court for assault. I'd like to urge feminist NGOs to step in and help this woman. And if possible, to help get those boys arrested.
Mimidiva: this is what I saw in the village, nobody tortured the old woman rather it was her day of doom, she confessed, her tummy became swollen, asked for the mate's forgiveness and died 5 days later, are you in any way saying witches don't exist, they do, I simply understood your opinion but believe me there are witches who transform to anything, those that are not privileged to see or hear shouldn't argue
Which village and when? What was her motivation for confessing?
Mimidiva: I have seen an old woman confessed of destroying her mate's son with cobwebs surrounding his life, which was true cos the guy was really useless because he's the first son, demonic people uses anything to destroy, even to wall gecko, may they never find us. This happened in Edo.
If you are attacked by a mob of crazy people who believe you are a witch, and after beating you up, they threaten to burn you alive if you don't confess that you are a witch, won't you confess? That's why, in civilized countries, confessions obtained via torture aren't accepted in court.
garyaustin: A guy came up to me for advice. He is having issues with cobwebs on his face on the particular spot on his face. I tried to reason with him that it was nothing to worry about but he says he experiences the cobweb attack in the Market, express way etc. He said the Yoruba man calls it ALANTAKUN which means I block him. my friend laments how everything has crumbled in his life. He expects me to advice him on what to do since I am living in Lagos. please what should this guy do? one more appeal, we need informed answers. He is tired of hearing 'superstition' Thank you in advance for your contributions.
Do You Suddenly Start Praying Whenever You Come In Contact With Cobwebs?
nenergy: Some years ago I heard a man preach that cobwebs are used by dark forces to delay or stagnate a man’s progress. Ever since then, I find myself saying words of prayers whenever I come on contact with cobwebs, especially if I have just passed there only seconds earlier. Yesterday, a woman came in contact with cobwebs while boarding a commercial bus and prayed out loud. i.e “Blood of Jesus; I cover myself with the blood”. I am a Christian and also believe in logical explanation of phenomenon. But sometimes these occurrences can be very creepy-only in Africa.
Oluwalosheleyi: ... how do you explain the following: -Long thick cobwebs in the middle of roads where there is no visible anchor to hold the cobwebs.
Did this actually happen to you or is it just a story you were told? If this really happened, the cobwebs were blown onto the road by the wind.
Passing by a spot without cobwebs only to return to that spot a minute later to be engulfed in cobwebs.
If this actually happened to you, you must have narrowly missed the cobwebs when you were passing by the first time. Also, you didn't see them because cobwebs are barely visible against bright backgrounds, e.g. light-coloured walls and the sky. There's nothing demonic about this.
Religion creates lots of imaginary problems and then 'generously' offers to solve them for us at a dear price. Please be smart and don't fall for it!
fromnigeria: Anyone who tries to compare Nigeria (a GODly nation) and America -- today's Babylon lacks the real knowledge, wisdom and understanding. The truth is there is the almighty God is our source.
America is more godly than Nigeria from a Christian POV. 70% of Americans are Christians and only 3% call themselves atheists. Source.
Why is it that the God of Pastor Chris and Benny Hinn distributes the gift of falling down to everybody like he is Father Christmas, but when it comes to actual healing miracles, it's difficult to find any genuine case? The makers of the documentary below followed Benny Hinn around looking for healing miracles, but they didn't find any healing miracles:
admax: Going to church is what is keeping many people sane in this country.
Clearly it is not effective since we have more "insane" people than many countries in Europe where most people are either atheists or cultural Christians who only attend church occasionally.
Forget about fake Pastors because for something to be fake, there must be original,
By your logic, since the Superman in Hollywood movies is fake, there must be a real Superman somewhere in the real world. This is not so.
