Romance / Re: I Love My Girl But She Is Doing This To Me, Please Help by tonyxxx(m): 7:17am On Jun 12, 2019
Wtf.... Move on already! I know it might seem to be a little hard for you, especially with all the emotional investments. But trust me, your lady seems to hold all the cards in your relationship & if the implications hasn't already damaged your self esteem now, it would definitely obliterate it in the future. There are over four billion girls out there in the world, there's definitely one for you & it isn't this manipulative,control freak that you want to kill yourself for. Take my advice & five years from now, you would look back at this day & laugh at how foolish you were to ever contemplate sucide because of one lady who isn't worth your love and attention.

Show's they weren't that smart afterall... The aim of starting a dirty business, should be to make your money quietly & eat your loot in peace. But it can never be successful if the leader has the propensity to flaunt.

lordskid:


Dont mind those religion zombies, bro! Religion with its grand DECEPTION is the real EVIL.

SCIENCE is the biblical Savior!

Welcome to the Age of Reason, bro!
lol.... I agree with you bro, religion without true knowledge is indeed a grand deception created to keep the masses docile & in check. Never questioning and following blindly with a promise of eternal life. No wonder some religious humans bomb other religious humans of different inclination with a false promise of 72 virgins waiting for them in the afterlife. Show me the kind of God that would reward mass genocide and I would show you a tyrant.

. 1th Peter 3:15-16.

15. But sanctify
The LORD God in your hearts:
and be ready always
to give an answer
to every man
that asketh you a reason
of The Hope that is in you
with meekness and fear:
16. Having a good conscience;
that, whereas
they speak evil of you,
as of evildoers,
they may be ashamed
that falsely accuse
your good conversation
in Christ.

I FIND IT DISGRACEFUL THAT NO OTHER CHRISTIAN HAS HAD ANYTHING TO SAY TO REPLY TO THIS GARBAGE!

I am angered that I have to take out the trash, all by myself!

What do you go to all those elaborate Church Ritual Ceremonies for, when you are as empty of useful Knowledge before as after?

. LUKE 12:8-9.

8. "Also I Say unto you,

'WHOSOEVER SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN,
HIM SHALL THE SON OF MAN ALSO CONFESS
BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD:'


9. "But he that denieth me before men
shall be denied before the Angels of God."

I WANT ALL "CHRISTIANS," WHO DO NOT SPEAK UP PUBLICLY WHEN NECESSARY, TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE RENOUNCED THEIR SALVATION- PRESUMING THAT THEY EVER HAD ANY!


God is clearly a tyrant. He has committed many acts of evil, and somehow managed to amass an incredible following. That means God must be the ultimate deceiver. He has painted Satan as the deceiver to disguise his own faults and gain worshipers in a classic manner.

WHAT ACTS OF EVIL DO YOU ACCUSE GOD OF?

. GENESIS 6:5-9.

5. And GOD Saw
that the Wickedness of Man
was great in the Earth,
and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart
was only Evil continually.
6. And it repented The LORD
that He had made Man
on the Earth,
and it grieved Him
at His Heart.
7. And The LORD Said,

"I will destroy Man
whom I have created
from The Face of the Earth;
both Man, and Beast,
and the Creeping Thing,
and the Fowls of the Air;
for it repenteth Me
that I have made them.
8. But Noah found Grace
in the eyes of The LORD.
9. These are the Generations
of Noah:
Noah was a Just man
and Perfect in his Generations, and Noah walked with God.

WE ARE ALL DESCENDANTS OF NOAH: ALL OTHER FAMILIES WERE EXTERMINATED AS THREATS TO OUR ANCESTORS.

Yet the Idiot Author curses God as a "MURDERER." For saving HIS ANCESTORS.

Clearly, sense is not common in America.

If the tyrannical dictator can condemn the good guy and convince enough people, he can get away with much evil. This is a ploy commonly used by skillful politicians and anyone who seeks personal gain at the expense of others.

SATAN WAS THE ONE WHO LED THESE PEOPLE ASTRAY, CAUSING GOD TO NEED TO DESTROY THEM, TO GUARANTEE OUR SECURITY.

But the author calls God a "TYRANT," and an EVIL Being.

Whereas, HE HIMSELF us using THE EXACT SAME EVIL TACTIC he is accusing GOD of using!

No one else mentions this, but me.

Furthermore, Satan purportedly rebelled against this evil tyrant, even though he was greatly outnumbered and faced an omnipotent being. That, according to our common beliefs, (as we praise military heroes who sacrifice themselves for the good of their nation) is not only admirable, but makes Satan a martyr.[/quote

THERE IS AN OYINBO MYTHOLOGY THAT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE, THAT STATES THAT SATAN WAS "LUCIFER," (who was actually, a king of Babylon,) HIS CHIEF ANGEL, WHO REBELLED AGAINST GOD, AND WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN, WITH 1/3rd OF THE ANGELS HE SUPPOSEDLY SEDUCED.

The Author clearly believes this Myth.

He therefore believes that SATAN, who got Adam and Eve to disobey God, and get evicted from The Garden of Eden was "GOOD."

He therefore believes that SATAN, who seduced the supposed 250 million Great Flood victims into endangering our Ancestors was "GOOD."

He therefore believes that SATAN, who taught the inhabitants of SODOM AND GOMORRAH to STARVE, ROB, DEFRAUD, and RAPE Strangers, without even ONE MINYAN between them, until God had to destroy them, was "GOOD."

He therefore believes that SATAN, who misled the EGYPTIANS into enslaving and torturing the Race that saved their lives, was "GOOD."

I think it can be agreed that the Author is NOT a good person, but is rather consistent with a SATAN WORSHIPPER.


Am not surprised that a so called Christan would be so fast to label another man a fool, simply because he does not agree with his ideas,as tolerance was one of true teachings of christ. I expected you to make your arguments with facts & not just quote the entire bible in a bid to sound knowledgeable. It's obvious that you're very good at cramming your religious text. But it's one thing to know how to quote the Bible and another thing to UNDERSTAND the Bible. While you said so many things,I would like to address the last thing you said about the devil being the first liar & father of lies. contrary to your believe, the evidence is right there in the book of Genesis, but like Christ rightly said, "some have eyes but cannot see". Since u're all about quoting of bible passages that you have no true understanding about, let me speak your language & quote some for you in response to your last comment about the devil being the father of lies.
Gen 3:2,3,4
AND THE WOMAN SAID TO THE SERPENT "WE MAY EAT THE FRUIT OF THE TREES IN THE GARDEN,GOD HAS SAID,'YOU SHALL NOT EAT IT,NOR SHALL YOU TOUCH IT, LEST YOU DIE'"
Keyword is "You shall surely die"
Now lests hear what the devil has to say in verse 4 & 5
GEN 3:4,5
THEN THE SERPENT SAID TO THE WOMAN,"YOU WOULD NOT SURELY DIE. FOR GOD KNOWS THAT IN THE DAY YOU EAT OF IT YOUR EYE'S WOULD BE OPENED AND YOU WOULD BE LIKE GOD.
Keyword is You would not surely die,your eyes would be opened (more knowledgeable & aware) & you would be like God.
GEN 3:6,7
SO WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT THE TREE WAS GOOD FOR FOOD, THAT IT WAS PLEASANT TO THE EYES,AND A TREE DESIRABLE TO MAKE ONE WISE,SHE TOOK OF ITS FRUIT AND ATE. 7. THEN THE EYE'S OF BOTH OF THEM WERE OPENED,AND THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE NAKED,AND THEY SEWED FIG LEAVES TOGETHER AND MADE THEMSELVES COVERINGS.
Note: chapter seven further comfirmed the truths spoken by the devil as indeed their eyes became opened (sentience) and they realised they had been walking in dehumanized conditions thus far. Why would a loving creator have the need to keep humans uninformed like ordinary animals after claiming to create them in his image and likeness.


Now after God found out adam & Eve disobeyed him & subsequently cursed them and the devil,as well as making a proclamation of casting them out of the garden (which seems to be too harsh for a so called father to mete out to his beloved children just because of a naive mistake). Now before you say it serves them right, especially after allowing the so called lying devil to lead them astray. Here are the exact words of your God validating the words of the devil in the following verse below.

GEN 3:22
THEN GOD SAID,"BEHOLD, THE MAN HAS BECOME LIKE ONE OF US,TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL. AND NOW,LEST HE PUT HIS HAND AND TAKE ALSO FROM THE TREE OF LIFE,AND EAT AND LIVE FOREVER".
Note:
first thing to note is that God confirmed the words of the so called devil in verse 4 & 5 to be in fact true.
secondly, your God said they would die, which they didn't. and before you come and start telling me that they lost their immotality, verse 22 confirmed they never had it in the first place,else why would he be scared shitless of them eating from the tree of life. Which confirms that they would have died anyway, wether they were obedient or not, hence his earlier threat of them dying was an empty one. imagine having a child and depriving them of education just because u're scared they would surpass you one day, only a petty mind would concieve of such evil.
(It's so sad that your so called Pope's,bishops & reverends who are supposed to be the highest authority in bible studies, either are oblivious of this passage,or rather not talk about it, because it's implications would rattle the entire Christan community)
In conclusion,with everything I've said so far,I want to ask you a personal question mr oaroloye,a question whose answer should already be obvious to a discerning mind by now. WHO DO YOU REALLY THINK IS THE FIRST LIAR AND FATHER OF LIES ACCORDING TO THE ACCOUNT OF YOUR HOLY BIBLE
Your response would tell me if u're one of those disillusioned fanatical religious robots or one who has indeed been illuminated and libreted by the true light of the indweler or what you call the holy spirit. Thanks in anticipation of your response.

MISHIGAS!



THIS IS ONE OF THE STUPIDEST WRITINGS I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE- AND I HAVE READ MAD MAGAZINE!

It is not even original.

https://www.news24.com/MyNews24/What-if-God-was-actually-the-evil-one-20121025



IT TAKES A SPECIAL SORT OF IDIOCY TO CALL SOMETHING LIKE THIS "ENJOYABLE."

This is called "BLASPHEMY."

Talking like this compromises your Eternal Destiny!

Things will be done to your SOUL that cannot be UNDONE.



THE BIBLE IS THE MAIN COLLECTION OF SCRIPTURAL WRITINGS ABOUT GOD.

These Scriptures teach us how to access and perceive the Spiritual Realm, so that we can see for ourselves who is good and who is evil.

The Scriptures do a good job of describing the modus operandi of God and Satan. If you want to disparage The Bible as Source of Information about the contrasting morality of God and Satan, what alternative do you offer?

You offer none.

When you talk about "GOD," you are talking about YAHWEH GOD of The Bible. When you talk about "SATAN," you are talking about THE DEVIL of The Bible.

When you want to judge them, you have to draw upon those written accounts of what they said, did, and intend.

You have to be a fool to juxtapose the perception of their morality, based on pure imagination.



The Nigerian reader should be intelligent, and bear in mind the calibre of total fool who is writing this garbage.

They have to be an OYINBO, or a fool who follows Oyinbos.

The Oyinbos were Savage Sea-Pirates, who invade other peoples' lands, and say that they are the owners of those lands, because they planted some tablecloth they call "flag" on it.

When the inhabitants of those lands protested that they had prior tenure, the Oyinbos killed them by the thousands.

They did this by pressing the flower of their own youth into service, both by force, and by brainwashing from childhood, that it is a good thing to kill and die for their country, so that they can take their stuff.

Oyinbos are basically the descendants of people who did immoral things- namely, theft, murder, and destruction of other people's rightful property, who have been brainwashed since childhood, to believe that this was RIGHT: their "MANIFEST DESTINY."


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj8f7ycnUtU

The 55-65th minutes are especially illuminating for anyone still in the dark as to what Oyinbos stand for.

When this Barbarian Waste Product of that so-called "CIVILIZATION" tells us that SATAN is more MORAL to him than GOD, no one should be surprised.



THIS WOULD BE IGNORANT REFERENCES TO THE GREAT FLOOD, AND THE DEATHS OF JOB'S TEN CHILDREN, DURING HIS TEMPTATION.

Like all ignorant fools, the American Idiot has completely forgotten about Job's eldest son's HOUSE STAFF- all of whom perished, with ONE SOLE SURVIVOR.

He has forgotten about the keepers of his three thousand Sheep- who were all killed by lightning, leaving ONE SOLE SURVIVOR.

He has forgotten about the keepers of the five hundred Oxen and five hundred She-Donkeys who were all massacred by the Sabeans- leaving ONE SOLE SURVIVOR.

He has forgotten about the keepers of the three thousand Camels, who were massacred by the Chaldeans- leaving the ONE SOLE SURVIVOR.

These are easily hundreds into thousands of people, who were all destroyed by SATAN- whom the scumbag author just airbrushed out of History- EXACTLY AS THEY DO IN THEIR OWN HISTORIES!

Those people are not considered important. If Oyinbos could think about the details of Satan's collateral damage, they would have to think about their own.

People whom their immediate ancestors murdered and tortured to give them their current standard-of-living.



THE OYINBOS CALL NATURAL DISASTERS "ACTS OF GOD."

In their native, European countries, they have NO EARTHQUAKE, they have NO TSUNAMI, they have NO TORNADO.

They cross the Ocean, and kill their way into a land that was not theirs.

They KNOW where every FAULT LINE is.

They KNOW where the TORNADOES occur.

They KNOW where the HURRICANES pass.

THAT IS WHERE THEY PLACE THEIR CITIES.

When their skyscraper topples onto their Primary School, or some such (*Bleep!*)it, they say:

"WHY DID GOD LET THIS HAPPEN"




You lost me the moment you made the assumption that the Bible is the main collection of scriptural writing about God. Because it tells me that you would be rather limited in your opinion. imagine trying to explain quantum physics to a kindergarten student, that's how hard it would be for a conditioned mind to ponder the meaning of the article without getting emotional or defensive. Firstly I think the hallmark of being a human being is intelligence, the ability to question things and provide solutions to problems, that's what differentiates us from animals,instead of just following blindly like animals and any human who isnt capable of asking questions, is a conditioned human who's a victim of mental slavery. Secondly,important issues were raised and what informed people would normally do,is to separate the fact from assumptions,but all I see you do is to make insunations of being moraly and spiritually Superior to the idea of the article. however you ended up going into denial mode as well as contradict yourself. To address some of the issues,the old testament God did kill the entire Egyptian first borns,killed off every enemy of one favoured human tribe,nuked sodom and Gomorrah because of one excuse or the other & even wiped off an entire race,save Noah all because people excercised their free will, which he supposedly gave to them during creation. The same God who created you and labeled you a gentile just for being different from the Israelites, displaying racism and favoritism After knowingly creating us differently e.t.c. Thanks for sharing your opinion though.

Religion / What If God Was The Evil One? by tonyxxx(m): 2:03pm On Jun 09, 2019
Firstly, I can’t take any credit for the writing you see below. I received a link on Facebook to this piece, which was originally a ‘Facebook note’ written by an American. (so excuse the references to American situations) Someone got in contact with the author and received his consent to share it on m.news24.com. I in turn decided to share it here on nairaland.
I share this article mainly because I found it to be a very enjoyable and thought provoking read, I also agree with the author’s views completely and feel this is an interesting angle on the usual ‘theist vs atheist’ debate.
So Enjoy.
How does anybody know God is more moral than Satan? If it’s because the bible says so, then that is arbitrary and followers of the bible are basically just listening to God saying “I’m the good one, follow me.” If it’s due to observing actions and judging god’s actions to be better, then can’t we just use those standards to judge our actions, making god unnecessary? Besides, Satan hasn't even bothered authoring a book and telling his side of the story.
What if God was actually the evil one and Satan was in fact good? After all, God is responsible for 250 million deaths, while Satan is responsible for only 10, all of which God commanded of him. If something bad happens like an earthquake or a Tsunami, we tend to call it 'an act of god' not an 'act of the devil'. Why?
It beggars my belief that millions of 'believers' claim that god is good, when the 'evidence' from his alleged behaviours and teachings is so comprehensively the opposite. Throughout the bible there are numerous accounts of god dishing out divine punishment by way of genocide, plagues, ethnic cleansing, and the like. If the bible were the word of god, then god supports infanticide, slavery, torture genocide and all manner of death destruction and suffering. I do not know of any mention of the devil being blamed for such things.
Just take the Crucifixion as an example - the foundation of the Christian religion. This is nothing less than a human sacrifice, and purportedly to allow sinners to go free of punishment for their sins. What father would have his own son, a 'good man' by all accounts, brutally tortured and murdered so that 'bad' people could be let of their crimes? If the answer is that god loves us all and wants us to be forgiven why did he not just do that? Why insist on a bloodthirsty Crucifixion first?
God is clearly a tyrant. He has committed many acts of evil, and somehow managed to amass an incredible following. That means God must be the ultimate deceiver. He has painted Satan as the deceiver to disguise his own faults and gain worshipers in a classic manner.
If the tyrannical dictator can condemn the good guy and convince enough people, he can get away with much evil. This is a ploy commonly used by skillful politicians and anyone who seeks personal gain at the expense of others.
Furthermore, Satan purportedly rebelled against this evil tyrant, even though he was greatly outnumbered and faced an omnipotent being. That, according to our common beliefs, (as we praise military heroes who sacrifice themselves for the good of their nation) is not only admirable, but makes Satan a martyr.
The only thing that Satan is accused of doing 'wrong' was encouraging the naive Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge. Is knowledge a bad thing? Surely not. Knowledge has enabled mankind to cure infectious diseases, perform life saving surgery, feed the hungry, rescue victims of natural disasters in helicopters, lifeboats and the like.
God, who would deny us this knowledge, has, according to believers, punished the whole of mankind in perpetuity for this 'original sin', as well as punishing all species of snake for ever more by removing their legs! God, who supposedly can cure all these things by invoking miracles chooses not to, except for a few demonstrations of his alleged power by curing one leper victim - rather than eliminating leprosy, he will feed 5,000 with a loaf and a fish but will not eliminate starvation and hunger, make a blind man see but leave countless others still blind etc etc .
God is no more than a terrorist, that is why his followers are said to be 'god fearing'. His followers must surely be evil at heart because they believe that we all (including themselves) would be incapable of being good, moral people unless we learn to 'fear' this tyrant and do his bidding, like Abraham who was terrorized to the brink of killing his own innocent son for fear of god's wrath. How cruel and sadistic was that? OK so god let him off at the last minute, but if a human being did what god was supposed to have done in the Abraham story he or she would end up in prison, or maybe a psychiatric hospital.
What is it in the human psyche that facilitates such a mass delusion and failure of objectivity? Maybe the desire to a happy afterlife is so overwhelming that we (well the religious 'believers' at any rate') turn a blind eye to god's overwhelming propensity for evil. And isn't that selfish and evil in it's own way? Just as many ordinary Germans did not speak out against Hitler and the Nazis' in the years leading up to and during the second World War for fear of risking their own necks. It's clear that all religious people suffer from Stockholm syndrome since a common theme I have noticed in the Western religions is the idea that our earthly existence is one of suffering and only in death can we find release from this suffering, through salvation. But we can’t intentionally escape this suffering early (i.e. commit suicide), because that’s a sin. So we’re stuck in this world, one where we are doomed to suffer, until we are given the sweet release of death. Seems like a captive situation to me.
The underlying premise of Stockholm syndrome is the captor convinces the captives that he is capable of ending their life and is willing to do so, the captives believe it is safer to align with their captor and endure their captivity than to resist and face death. How does this compare to Christianity? Two words: Pascal’s Wager. Being God-fearing is a staple of classical Christian practices, and even outside of those religions, most religions (including all Western religions, to my knowledge) include something in their dogma about how being a believer in that religion is the only way to achieve salvation, and all who deny that religion, regardless of how they lived their lives and whether they were a moral person, will face eternal damnation. As such, it’s better to believe in a potentially non-existing deity for the chance at salvation than to reject that deity and risk damnation. The captives’ motivation to live outweighs their impulse to hate the person who created their dilemma. The idea of personal tragedy as a “test of faith” serves as testament to the legitimacy of this analogy.
Another characteristic of Stockholm Syndrome is the captives view the captor as being benevolent simply by virtue of his lack of malevolent actions, and are willing to overlook malevolence on the captor’s part if some kindness is shown. I don’t think this one is exclusive to the Christian God. How many of you have ever heard the phrase, “Count your blessings”? One of the important teachings of Christianity (and many religions, I would imagine) is to be thankful for what you have, rather than wanting more or wanting to have fewer of the things you don’t want. Now, someone who has had nothing but misery in their life would probably find it hard to believe in a loving God, just as someone who is held captive by a captor who is constantly tormenting them will grow to hate their captor. But just as captives focus on the brief showings of benevolence by their captor, so Christianity teaches its followers to be thankful for the blessings their Lord has given them, rather than resentful of him for the things that he has denied them or taken away. In the world's poorest countries -- those with average per-capita incomes of $2,000 or lower -- the median proportion who say religion is important in their daily lives is 95%. In contrast, the median for the richest countries -- those with average per-capita incomes higher than $25,000 -- is 47%. [ http://www.gallup.com/poll/142727/religiosity-highest-world-poorest-nations.aspx ]
But even more than that, a big focus on Christian worship is being thankful for the things you still have, the things the Lord hasn’t taken away. Things like your family, your eyesight, your health—the things most people take for granted. This is one of the main points that lead me to consider the analogy between faith and Stockholm syndrome, because in a captive situation, captives begin to mistake a lack of abuse for kindness and develop feelings of appreciation for this mercy, which they perceive as actual benevolence, much like how religious people perceive not losing the things that are important to them as a blessing from their God. This is why believers have to construct miracles out of perfectly explicable natural events. This happens every time there is a tragedy or near tragedy of any kind, anywhere in the world. Take the batman shooting for example. 14 people died, 50 wounded, but somehow this tragic event yielded "miracles." Captain "Sully" Sullenberger pilots a distressed plane to land safely on the Hudson River in New York City with no deaths, and it's a miracle from God. Perhaps, just perhaps, God brought that plane down, and Satan saved it like an invisible Superman, or God sent that gunman into the theatre, but Satan saved all the people he could.
I’m not suggesting that being thankful for the things we haven’t lost is a bad thing; I’m just pointing out that it bears a striking resemblance to what happens in a real-life captive situation (Stockholm syndrome). In real life, we consider Stockholm syndrome to be a paradox, a defence mechanism against an undesirable situation. In other words, it is considered irrational. The lucid opinion to hold is resentment towards your captor, not affection. So why isn’t the same judgement applied to faith? If we accept the dogmatic elements discussed above as true, why isn’t in considered lucid to resent such a God, rather than praise him?
Satan is the only deity who truly stands for free will. God threatens us with punishments for not adhering to his wishes. But Satan tells us that we should enjoy our lives and be happy and free to do what we think is right.
If I believed in any kind of deity, I would most certainly worship Satan, become his devout follower and take up his noble fight against tyranny. Satan stands for justice, according to the biblical story, if you read it objectively. If only the story were true, he would be one of the greatest heroes in history, fighting what he surely knew would be a losing battle, but doing so for the sake of the greater good and to provide an example to the rest of us.
Just as the United States rebelled against British rule and gained their own freedom, Satan fought for freedom for all angels. Unfortunately, he lost the battle, which is a real tragedy.

Yes that is another one. Balance, calm in the face of difficulties (or a difficult situation.
Very true bro. To elaborate more,above the water and below the water represents two different worlds. Like heaven and Earth,as above so below,one mirrors the other, one meant for the god's and the other created for man. They say God is light & so is knowledge. enlightenment or gnosis attained from the studying of sacred knowledge below which is represented by the books underwater,has given her the unique opportunity to barely glimpse the world above. A world just above her grasp which is filled with even more knowledge & most importantly freedom,as man was not meant to live in water (ie the world below(earth)) for ever. In conclusion, she could only have a glimpse because of her perfect balance. Balance of the mind, body and soul. Without balance of the mind she would be scared due to the dangers of her present predicament & be more concerned about not drowning, without balance of the body, she could not possibly maintain such hold on the books and still manage to have two feet balanced on the ground with the poise of a ballerina,and without balance of the soul, she would have no hope or assurance that her effors would yeild something positive. It's obvious that she's in control and perfectly consious of what she's determined to achieve.

That's what happens when tribalistic slowpokes makes it to the senate. His comment is in bad taste & without a doubt,is a reflection of his inferior mind. So much hubris displayed in the words of a senator representing a part of nigeria that contributes little or nothing to our economy. Numbers are important quite alright, especially financially,and on that count,the so called unimportant region (ss/se) holds the major cards. Take out the revenue generated from oil in the last 50years from Nigeria & imagine how worse our country would be right now. Most importantly, there would be no such lucrative wage in the legislative Chambers in the first place that would entice a fish brained neathandal to aspire for a position where outstanding creative solution providers are needed.

All those ladies that loves saying "I don't have female friends,I prefer male's because they don't gossip". Well it appears they don't gossip, but they can certainly rape.... Especially when you ain't in a romantic relationship with any. They spend on you & you accept,they take you out & shower you with goodies & you accept,but when they ask for a relationship you decline. An average Nigerian guy would be like "this one think say she get sense abi,I go show am". Truth is your safety is your responsibility, knowing who your friends are and what they are capable of is also your responsibility. Don't knowingly put yourself in a compromising situation in the name of enjoyment,greed or boredom & later come out and cry foul, because it would be all on you. Ignorance is not an acceptable excuse anywhere.

Romance / Re: Game Of Thrones Is Nothing But Soft Porn by tonyxxx(m): 8:50am On May 03, 2019
I dare to disagree with the op. G.o.t was written by one of the most brilliant minds the world has produced & if you are intelligent enough,you would learn quite a lot from it's mind-blowing storyline & characters. I started out from the book and have been a big fan of George.r martins ever since. From how the paralysing fear & control the mad king inspired couldn't stop a rebellion from rising. To how the excellent moral codes the Stark's practiced often brought them to ruin. To how a former fringe character like littefinger rose to prominence through playing the perfect courtier,by mastering the act of indirection, flattery,yeilding to Superiors but still asserting power over others in the most oblique and graceful manner. King stannis was so rigid,he couldn't adapt or bend,so he broke! To how the quest for revenge often leads to an endless cycle of more loss & despair as could be seen from following the story of the martels of dorn. How change is constant & how weakness can be transformed into a bastion of power,as could be noticed in the lives of characters like Arya,Sansa,Tyrion,the iron queen,bran & even James Lannister when he lost his hand e.t.c. The story of John snow, from a bastard to a king,tell's a lot about how the circumstances of one's birth isn't a hindrance to success. I learnt & observed all of these and many more from reading & watching too... And the sex scene's you talk about,i can't even remember, because they weren't as important as the lessons learned. The kind of people we are within,is always reflected in the kind of things our minds are attracted to. If your mind is polluted with sex,then that's the only thing your mind is capable of seeing & look out for in every giving situation,regardless of wether you condemn it or not. And if you have an insatiable hunger for learning,then that's what you would do,see & look out for in every opportunity you get. That's why everybody looks, but sees differently.

it simply shows that your wife is spiritually awake. the picture has to do with the male & female cosmic energies, the ying & yang, the astral double e.t.c. she's probably an indigo or Chrystal light worker. Trust me it's nothing to worry about.
