I didn't leave Christianity because I was looking for anything, but because I could not see it's utility, it's value to me , nor even those that practiced it.
It appeared to be Cascades and cascades of meaningless myths that worked well to Stoke fears and no other practical utility.
I noticed that it made no one good who was not inherently good.
It made no one disciplined who was not already so.
It made no one healthier, wealthier or even more reasonable than the other.
But it worked very well to foster hate and division even within families?

If a girl requests money from me, the first thing I do is to assess the situation she painted to determine if she's credible or not. If I think she might really be in dire straits, I can oblige her whatever she requests if it is within my power. Once I make that decision, I don't care if she's a scam or not. I apply the same test too for males who ask for money. How many times have I had that feeling that this might be a scam? Plenty. But I go ahead anyway and do it as long as I've been able to whip up enough self-conviction. I'll tell you guys a story. It informed the reason for my present attitude regarding giving out money.

I met a friend during my NYSC program. We were great friends throughout the duration of our service year. She had a child at the time, though unmarried and she was always on the lookout for the fast buck. She was a great individual, nonetheless. Fast track to a couple of years later. I received a message from her that she needed money because her mother was in the hospital and they needed money to sort out the medical expenses. I summarily, without giving much thought to it, considered it to be one of the usual schemes put up by ladies as recounted in the different posts above. So, I decided not to assist. About a year later, she uploaded her mother's picture on her BBM and posted a message to this effect: 'One year after, I still miss you terribly mom'. I called her immediately and found out that her mother did, indeed, needed help at the time she requested money from me. She died because they were unable to meet up with the medical expenses. I was totally devastated.

Now, I'm not trying to say that the money I didn't give caused the woman's death. But there's no way I'd know if she could have been saved either. It's a guilt I'd live with for a long time to come. Bottom line is, if you can afford it, give. If she's a scam, that's her problem. If she isn't, you would have alleviated a distressed person's financial situation. Come to think of it, guys scam as much as ladies. I have male friends who concoct unimaginable tales about needing money. I still try to give anyway. That 'story' you consider so untrue might actually be a real life issue. Of course, if all the signs indicate an undeniably fraudulent plea, do not give. But if you cannot determine with accuracy whether it's true or otherwise, please, if you can, give.

The question of 'magaism' or being 'magarized' has been grossly overrated. It's nothing more serious as losing money when you can comfortably afford to lose it. My two cents.

Are humans special from all living species on earth, or in the universe?

Do you think you have figured out the meaning and purpose of life, or do you think that life , purpose and meaning are things that deserves continued a d relentless study and questioning?

Sometimes I just pity some girls I see coz of the kind of guy they date. If your guy ain't one of these 3, you need prayers from us:

1. The Deep Searcher: This kind of guy wants to really know you for you. He wants to know you as a person, beyond ur face, beyond the sex you guys have. And even better he accepts what he sees & is willing to help u improve if you re willing.

2. The Blunt Guy: He says it as it is. It may hurt u or not, but things never get out of hand. If he likes u he tells u. If u re gettin fat he tells u. If he doesnt like ur friend he tells u. He ALWAYS keeps it real with u. No hidden agenda, either black or white. Fling or long term love, he ll tell u what he wants. Honest, sometimes in an insensitive way.

3. The Talk-and-Happen Guy: He doesn't say what he wont do. What his mouth utters u know it s already. If he says he ll beat ur boss for harrassin u, nothing u or ur boss says will stop it. His promises always happen, good or bad.

So which camp is ur guy in?

Soul is Operating System of the human hardware, Spirit is the electricity that activates the hardware and OS to work perfectly. The mind is the Hard drive. Hope you understand.

It's either they don't want their boyfriends snatched or they don't want their other boyfriends angry. How many boyfriends' picture will they upload? It's just better not to upload at all and be fair to all.
