I keep hearing more and more stories like this coming from Nigeria. These are travel warnings from different countries and travel sites:

20 Nations Issue Travel Warnings Against Nigeria

http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=25278

“All the four UN statements showed a deep sense of international outrage but also of frustration at the seemingly helplessness of the Nigerian government to effectively control the situation. In fact, some of the statements noted that international laws are being broken with impunity in Nigeria.”

AlfaSeltzer: What a load of nonsense.
if xtians have faith in jesus, why do they go to hospitals?
my wife has no faith in me and I definitely have no faith in my parents.
I hated my teachers and unless I verify something, I don't believe scientists.

I'm so sorry Alfa.

Poems For Review › Re: Random Ramblings From The Mind Of Tex by texanomaly(op): 1:11am On Jul 23, 2014*

"If You Go Away" is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song "Ne me quitte pas" with English lyrics by Rod McKuen.

If you go away
on this summer day,
Then you might as well
take the sun away;
All the birds that flew
in the summer sky,
When our love was new
and our hearts were high;
When the day was young
and the night was long,
and the moon stood still
for the night birds song.
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas

But if you stay,
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been,
or will be again;
We'll sail the sun,
we'll ride on the rain,
We'll talk to the trees
and worship the wind.
Then if you go,
I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love
to fill up my hand,

If you go away,
if you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
if you go away.

If you go away,
as I know you will,
you must tell the world
to stop turning Till
you return again,
if you ever do,
for what good is love
without loving you,
Can I tell you now,
as you turn to go,
I'll be dying slowly
till the next hello,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
If you go away.

But if you stay,
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been,
or will be again.
I'll sail on your smile,
I'll ride on your touch,
I'll talk to your eyes
that I love so much.

But if you go,
I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love
to hold in my hand,
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
if you go away,
if you go away.

If you go away,
as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left
in the world to trust,
Just an empty room,
full of empty space,
Like the empty look
I see on your face.
I'd have been the shadow
of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me
by your side.
Ne me quitte pas,
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
please don't go away

AlfaSeltzer: religion, not god.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Logic Not Allowed In The Mega Religions Of The World? by texanomaly(f): 12:44am On Jul 23, 2014

Onyegecha: I believe in God. I also believe in miracles because the world itself is a miracle. What i don't get is why any group of people should colonize God and make Him their exclusive property. We don't know His (or her) name or character beyond what nature tells us, yet we tear each other up over unfounded beliefs based on some ancient writs. This would not be the case if we all could subject everything we are told in our various temples to the test of common sense and logicality.

Who is this God you speak of? Where does he/she come from? How do you know this person/entity?

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Logic Not Allowed In The Mega Religions Of The World? by texanomaly(f): 12:43am On Jul 23, 2014

mazaje: What is the reason and purpose of human existence?. . . .

I'm curious to know if you think there is a purpose. If so...what do you think it is? If not...why not?

mazaje: All these things happen only in fictitious stories NOT in reality. . .

What exactly is the "reality" that is this life?

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Logic Not Allowed In The Mega Religions Of The World? by texanomaly(f): 12:42am On Jul 23, 2014

AlfaSeltzer: Not Satanism. The only religion based on logic.

Hahahahahahahahaha

So it's illogical to believe in a Christian god but it's logical to believe Satan.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Logic Not Allowed In The Mega Religions Of The World? by texanomaly(f): 12:41am On Jul 23, 2014

Kay17: Let's all start from a common ground - the place of faith in Christianity/Islam - Faith is definitely the life of Christianity, there is no Christian without Faith, right?

You have been fixated on faith lately. What's the draw? What are you fishing for exactly? What is it you are in search of where faith is concerned?

You've brought it up a few times lately in more than one thread. I would like to know what is driving you to ask about it. You obviously know the definition. You know it is a huge part of many religions. What exactly are you after that has not been said before?

maclatunji: ...Keep watching then.

Where are all the writers in this place? Did some Goblin gobble them up? I have been drawn by one big magnet towards writing again but this time, I want to collaborate with other writers and I thought: "what better place to come than here?" There is so much talent either unsure of itself or idling away. Why not reach-out?

I write sometimes. Will I do?
