12) Starving In Antarctica
This image of an emaciated polar bear wandering on a thin patch of ice has shocked people worldwide. The situation for this species is only getting worse.

Are you sure that isn't a sick member of the species? Most emaciated animals have health challenges or damaged jaws etc from fights.

There looks to be enough ice for it.

19. Red lipped batfish
These odd fish are generally found around the Galapagos Islands and near Peru. Divers may meet this fish at depths greater than 100 feet, but they are rare. Scientists judge that the reason they have the bright red pucker of the species is to attract the opposite gender. The maximum length of the red-lipped batfish is about 40 cm long.

Lol.

These look like women. Going to underwater clubs in caves lit up by angler fish.

Not ugly but funny looking.

First and foremost, this is huge threat to national security...secondly how can the pilot be eating on the presidential seat....thirdly these national assets are supposed to be protected by security agents in uniform not some ragtag civilians.

But where is lalasticlala sef

What national security?

rawpadgin:
This is pure wickedness!

How can you be spending such amount building weapons of mass destruction?

Because destruction is the end of all human efforts. And that is power.

donnffd:
This is the most ignorant post i have read in a very long while... so people who do not believe in voodoo nonsense are pseudo-educated?...smh

And those who don't believe in voodoo nonsense are educated, right? Very unintelligent.


Ignorant ignoramus.

AlPeter:
ask the right questions and you'll get the right answer. The right question is, why did the Europeans, Asians, Africans, Native Americans (generally the ancients) believe in witchcraft, even amongst people who could not have been influenced due to isolation? Start genuinely trying to answer this simple question without jumping to conclusion

They all always ignore this part so that they can wallow in "logic and scientific evidence".

None of them can answer this particular thing. Usually the conversation ends here. Or they shift it. And like themselves after.

For people who pride themselves in their ability to think, their thinking is rather limited to one direction. If science can't explain it they resort to calling it a hallucination.

Done with them.

Omooba77:
Science cant explain away mystical behaviours that are well documented. The truth is that witchcrafts and wizards exist;but OP need to believe they do,but I pray make them comot hands for your matter.
One of their works is making someone to start something and abadoned it just before the end.
Drink people's blood without trace and doctors will find nothing.
Kill without using gun or cutlass.
OP please they dont exist since God doesnot too,just imagination of my irrational mind. Have a blessed day.

Lol.

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

Why are you so scared to experience it on your own for yourself?

Is there any point condemning the experiences of others to sate your rigid views in the face of what you can't rationalize or explain away in science?

jonbellion:
Ilol nawa oo I don't have that kind of time. I haven't experienced amy supernatural phenomenon neither has anyone I know experienced any. What I just hear is anecdotes which were also anecdotes from other people which were also anecdotes for other people. You said something about Ghostbusters. That's a 1984 movie that had a remake during the summer of this year. I don't know any any other "ghost buster" outside the movies apart from ed and Lauraine warren who are basically rip offs
The actual source of the association of Halloween with the dead is the fact that it is, like the name says, the eve of All Hallows Day
It was a roman catholic feast that commemorated the communion of the saint but in modern days it has become more of a secular thing . But as usual christian fundamentalists demonised it.. You know cuz that's what they do demonize everything and sad it came from Celtic pagan roots
It's quite strange tho cuz death, resurrection, and the afterlife loom fairly large in Christian belief, and the existence of a holy day meant to call these things to mind seems like something you would expect.

There are other ghost busters. Ghost hunters. People who hunt for the Paranormal. They are all-over the place.

You don't need to depend on "anecdotes" or other people's experiences. Simply buy a Ouija. Or meet up with a Wiccan.

Samhain is supposedly the origin of Halloween, not Catholicism. The original thing has nothing to do with Christianity. But then, most people will tell you that it's a modern celebration. Every culture in the world has its angels, witches, saints, demons, etc.

I don't think there's much else to say. But the issue of existence of witchcraft...Well, if there are things like good luck there will be the bad one. If there are angels there will be demons. Life has a duality.

Most people who don't believe in the spiritual/paranormal are in denial. Logic doesn't explain such things. Eg. Some guy said he woke up with thin razor lines on his body. Logical people told him that he had pins in his bed. But if he did sew things, he would've first ruled that out. Then there were gecko and spider theories, which are just unbelievable. Nothing can explain that. Nothing that logic and science will tell you.

It's not my job to convince people, but a little thought to it when scientific explanations get ridiculous points to the things that are unseen.

Lennycool:
and their are people who claim to have alien encounters, claim to be God, Jesus, fairies. people believe a lot of shit

OK.

You're not providing a strong discussion here. From your switch to aliens you can see in retrospect why the following three words were used then and will be used again now.

End of discussion.

jonbellion:
actually before Ouija boards were seen as a harmless parlor game. Their association with Spiritualism didn't take off until World War I, when one Pearl Cullan started saying that it could be used to contact spirits

They're simply a modern way of what African witch doctors do.

If Africans would create a mechanism or board, we would call it a harmless game, too.

And by the way they are actually real spiritual tools. You need to use one.

Lennycool:

And how is one person now representing the whole of Europe.
There are movies about aliens have we seen them. There are movies on talking animals and teddy bears are they real?
The more educated an area is the less they believe in witches, of course there will always be exceptions in small amounts but majority rules.
A small percent of Americans believe the earth is flat does that now represent America?

..

Lennycool:
Then why have the Europeans left it?
Why has all the developed countries left it?
Why is it only in the midst of illiteracy and poverty do we find people hunting for witches?

They are still there.


You honestly think that because they don't make noise about it by introducing it subtly the populace that it doesn't exist there? Ask the Europeans who encounter witches in their backyards there. They are just wicked as the African ones, but with blue eyes and flaxen hair. They've simply made it more glamorous than Africans have.

There is little difference between a witch doctor and a person playing with a Ouija.

What is Halloween? Why do we have ghost busters? Or is it Blacks you've seen hunting for ghosts? If they didn't exist there presently you wouldn't see people filming their adventures.

I don't think you've dwelled long enough among white people to know what they do and how they go about it. The first person I heard speak of witches openly was a very normal European.

LaClicKLaBenDin:
I have been observing them with keen interest...and I am never shy to say it in any thread they show up.

They want people to perpetually live in ignorance, so they can have a free ride in their lives.

Satan's biggest weapon of operation is IGNORANCE.

I think we have more of the bolded category on this forum, hiding under the guise of atheism.

Ah, so you see them too.

Lennycool:
The fear of witchcraft is directly linked to the general education of the populous. The more educated the population of an area is the less witches they perceive and vice versa.
Africans think they are the ones that started witch hunting. But the truth is compared to the Europeans we were all learners, yes the white people once believed strongly in witchcraft. The Malleus Maleficarum translated as The hammer of witches is arguably the most damning text in all of literature. Written in 1486 by Catholic Inquisitors, it prescribed how to kill, torture and identify witches. And for almost 200 years it was the best selling book second only to the Bible. The book with sponsorship from the Pope killed tens of thousands of women accused of witchcraft.
But today people in Europe are smarter and no one talks of witches again. Why?
Education my friends is a mind opener.

They are still there. They still practise it today. It's only pseudo- educated Africans who believe it doesn't exist.

LaClicKLaBenDin:
You know, it surprises me how people could be so utterly ignorant of the realities around them, because it is not consistent with "logic."

"My people perish indeed for lack of knowledge."

You've said it.

The ones who try to put logic into everything are either scared of the truth, are too dull to imagine it, or are perpetrators of such acts who wish that people don't know how to deal with them.

samwayne154:
bro its d tail of wall geckos

I've played with them barehanded. There's nothing on their tails.

How can something the size of a gecko not be felt moving and dragging on a person? Impossible.

If you believe it can use its tail to make parallel lines, then we should believe that needles are in his pillow instead.

stonemasonn:
And what is the impact of speaking in tongues in Christianity apart from speaking in meaningless languages to show off?

They aren't showing off.


Several customs and religions worldwide have moments in which ardent members are able to connect with the spirits they worship, and at that point they are in another realm internally, and can communicate directly with who/what they worship. At that moment they speak in spiritual languages.

For Christians, this language is called tongues.

LaClicKLaBenDin:
Sorry, sir.

You have pointed out the truth in your earlier posts.

I personally believe any person talking about needles and geckos is an agent of darkness set to confuse the gullible ones out there.

How can it be a gecko or needles? Or spiders? Where are the claws on the geckos? And how stupid is a person to embed needles in their pillows and beds?

He said he experienced razor thin lines and you have people postulating everything but the truth. Logic can only go so far.

For all the logical ones, if they watched Mad Max Fury Road, they will remember that Nux kept Max alive and called him a blood bag. He couldn't do worse than keep him tied to his vehicle because he needed Max to keep supplying him blood until he ran out of it. Why won't they do worse? Because every action has a good reason.

okooloyun1:
Bros na d work of geckos (omonile) they feed on ants, cockroaches and spider and mostly active at night and they stay close to lights at night where they usually wait for insects to eat, so if you have what they feed on in abundance in your ur room or very close to where you sleep there is probability of them crawling over your body with their sharp claws without u noticing.

Kindly tell us the sharp part of a wall geckos body that inflicts these razor thin marks on people.


Superstition.

Speaking in tongues is an evidence of the Spirit.


A Christian without the Holy Spirit is a charlatan. In fact, you cannot practice Christianity without the Holy Spirit. Christianity without this Spirit is mere Religion.

How would you as a Christian know the RIGHT Church to attend? Of course, the Bible will not tell you to go to Deeper Life, instead of Winners or Cherubim & Seraphim. The Bible will not tell you to eat Eba for dinner, but with the Holy Spirit, you can actually know whose food to eat, reject and those that are safe for you.
