Romance / Re: Serious Opinion Please by TruthSeeker1: 8:32pm On Dec 25, 2020
The real truth behind infidelity is that "nature" did not design us to stick to a single partner. It takes a great deal of self-discipline and determination to remain faithful to a partner. After marrying the person you "love", this will not stop you from being attracted to ither people that you find attractive (you just need to discipline yourself!).
One man, one woman is an idea that has gained global popularity and acceptability only because it seems decent, responsible and Godly. Unfortunately, nature doesn't care about that.. its goal is procreation (which will obviously be favoured by mating with multiple partners, like other animals do).

Preciousgirl:
Will you eat it?
Your sweet heart prepares food with the animal below and says you eat it or break up

What will you do?
That's quite illogical! Why would she put such a condition on your eating a particular animal?
But FYI, the meat of this 'man's best friend' is some people's favourite.

Health / Re: COVID-19 Update For December 23 2020 In Nigeria by TruthSeeker1: 6:32am On Dec 24, 2020
ehinmowo:


Covid-19 in NIgeria is a capital scam.

Have you seen covid-19 in Europe and the Americas? Have you been to the various Sabos in NIgeria? Why is it is that when there is increase in Europe there is miraculous increase in NIgeria? Mind you, every person coming in or going out of NIgeria are tested and sometimes quarantined.

My room mate that did medical biochemistry in school told me how his prof. bursted the SCAMdemic figures in Lagos. He took a person there. They made the person to undergo compulsory Covid-19 test. It came out positive. But the things written on the test papers were professional jargons. He demanded to see their leader. They shut him down because they never knew who he was. He later saw the person. And it turns out to be one of his friends. The discussion ended with "order from above. "

If there is anything that needs emergency attention in NIgeria is malaria. It kills 20x daily than what covid-19 is PURPORTED to be killing. We "roll back" malaria every year on paper. People cash out on that. Just as people are cashing out on Covid-19. Malaria kill an average of 300, 000 people in Nigeria yearly and over 100m are infected every year.


Have you asked yourself that a country with almost zero health technology is having about 1000 death in about one year from covid-19 and countries with superior health sectors are having 100s of thousands of deaths? What do we give our patients that within one month that Europe recorded reduction, almost every covid-19 patients in Nigeria were discharged? And now that their figures are increasing, ours are jumping up again. Tell me anybody that died of covid-19 here with prior health complications. Every flu and fever now would become covid-19 to boost a fictitious figure.

Putting Nigeria's covid-19 statistics aside, do you think the statistics of infections and deaths in other countries like USA, India, Brazil, UK, Russia, South Africa, Italy etc is also a scamdemic?
If millions of people have truly contracted covid-19 in these countries with tens (and in some cases, hundreds) of thousands deaths as reported, then an overpopulated, disorganized country like Nigeria should logically have far more cases than the ones officially reported.
So in my opinion, the "scamdemic" in Nigeria should be a case of underreporting of covid-19 actual infections and deaths figures.

Her PROBLEMS are over now but she has created ANGUISH and Pains in the those she left behind especially those kids.
MADAM, why....?
Wish I could have assisted in my little way..

She was overwhelmed by her problems. She could no longer reason rationally to see the negative impact her action might have on those she would leave behind. Her life became worthless to her. She didn't have any hope of seeing light at the end of the tunnel. She couldn't endure it anymore!
Having faced (and still facing) some terrible difficulties myself, I understand how she must have felt before deciding to end it. I don't blame her, I only pity her. I hope the kids get help and get over whatever anguish and pain they may be going through right now.

Depression...the only thing dat tells u "hmm!dis one wey u dey live na life?abeg end am make u find peace"..but,will never tell u about ur better future.it only judges one's present bad condition.

After she had "thought" about it all and put various factors into consideration, she couldn't see any hope of a better future; she couldn't see any way out of the conditions and situations that made life miserable and unbearable for her. At that point, ending her own life suddenly became a reasonable thing to do.

Science and technology change rapidly, but has human nature changed?
I don't really know what your point is, but science and technology only started changing rapidly in the 20th century.
If by "human nature" you mean human psychology, then I will say it is multifaceted and complicated. I don't know the change you're looking for

Are the following traits common amongst those who do not believe in a God?

“...lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,...” —2Timothy 3:1-4

“...their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature;  likewise also the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full penalty, which was due for their error. Just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting. And they were filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice, being whisperers,  backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, schemers of what is harmful, disobedient to parents,  without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, and merciless...” —Romans 1:26-31


Note I'm not saying that those who claim to know God today are exempt of this practices. Also in the outset of this thread, the article distinguished between true and false religion.
You've answered the question yourself: both religious and irreligious people exhibit all of human characteristics (both good and bad). The distinction you have made between good and bad religion is only your opinion and it's debatable. Also, whatever verse you quote from the Bible is nothing but someone's thought/opinion; it's not necessarily the fact or truth.

A rotten tree cannot produce fine fruit—Matthew 7:18-20

That principle not only applies to religions but to all things that are based on vain hope—such as the one that science is the only solution to mankind's problems.

In the so-called Socialist countries where atheism is the watchword and also have made significant advancement in science and technology, have the traits stated earlier vanished or only gotten worse?

Religion is also one of the major issues plaguing mankind today. In fact the same Bible explains that a time would come when atheists[those in governmental power] would pounce on all forms of religion and exterminate them. Revelation 17:15-17,18:23-24

BUT that will not solve the issues humans are currently facing because the cause of our problems is rooted deep in we humans and has a lot to do with morality rather than so-called advancements in science.
My simple question for you is: between science and religion, which one has solved more human problems? Which one has contributed more to the progress and advancement of the human society?
Religion only gives hope about something that is most probably non-existent. It also makes us depend on imaginary deities to solve our problems for us. On the other hand science gives us the power to solve our own problems!
If we can only combine science with a genuine concern for others well-being (through empathy), almost all our problems will be solved: only the problems caused by natural disasters will remain.
Religion / Re: A World Without Religion—an Improvement? by TruthSeeker1: 5:02pm On Dec 21, 2020
To answer your question objectively, we simply need to identify the merits and demerits of religion, juxtapose the two and ascertain which one is more.
In my assessment, the demerits of religion far outweigh its merits. Hence, an irreligious world would be an improvement.
Essentially, abolishing religion would mean more focus on science. This will invariably help us come up with better solutions to our problems (rather than relying on deities). From the countless good things we are already enjoying from science, more science will ensure a better world!

seanwilliam:
you’ve successfully failed to score a point.. what’s the root of the problem in your write up now ?

I didn't try to state the root cause of the problem. Rather, I stated that identifying and understanding the root cause of the problem is the reasonable approach we should take to solving problems effectively. In other words, when solving problems we ought to focus more on tackling the CAUSE of the problem instead of the EFFECT of the problem. If you calm down and reflect carefully on what I wrote, you will get my point.
Religion / Re: Why Do You Still Believe In God, by TruthSeeker1: 4:13pm On Dec 21, 2020
I do not believe in a personal God that dwells in heaven or a "spiritual realm" as many religions do. However, the undeniable fact that things exist, both animate and inanimate, in a seemingly orderly and perhaps coordinated system makes me believe that there is some sort of intelligent force behind existence. It is this creative, intelligent force that I consider to be GOD.

Religion / Re: Ten Minutes Earnest Prayer Is More Potent Than Two Hours Distracted Prayer. by TruthSeeker1: 3:47pm On Dec 21, 2020
Actually, there is no omnipotent being/entity up there in the sky (or wherever else) that listens to your prayers and answers (or disregards) them, whether you pray fervently or distractedly. However, I believe there is a way prayer alters your psychological and attitudinal disposition to the object of your prayer. This may then in turn influence how easily you get what you pray for, but depending of course on how favourable other relevant conditions are.
Politics / Re: Nsukka Youths Call For #EndPoliceBrutality & #EndBadGovernance (Pictures) by TruthSeeker1: 2:57pm On Dec 21, 2020
I have come to realize that our approach to solving problems in Nigeria is generally poor. We often don't think deep and critically enough to clearly identify and understand the fundamental factors responsible for the problems we are faced with. As a result, we usually end up coming up with "solutions" that merely alleviate the symptoms of the problem, rather than carefully and effectively address the root cause of the disease.
Police brutality, bad governance, corruption, insecurity etc are, to me, symptoms of a problem whose cause we are yet to identify/ understand fundamentally. As long as we fail to address the ACTUAL cause of the problem, even when we successfully deal with the symptoms of the problem like police brutality and insecurity, other equally undesirable symptoms may still pop up.

Ironically, reading news like this often gives me solace and relief from my sadness and depression occasioned by my financial difficulty. Such news makes me realize that I still have something to be grateful for despite my numerous challenges. After all, it is when I'm alive that I can worry about how to earn a living and set out to pursue different goals.
Unfortunately however, death is something we are all inevitably going to taste sooner or later, whether we like it or not. Each person's time will be up someday. This undeniable reality should make s/he who is wise to live as "best" a life as they can. Tomorrow, it may be YOUR time to go!
Meanwhile, I really need some financial assistance from anyone who can comfortably spare some change. Any amount will be highly appreciated. Polaris bank; 2020 274 729. And if you so wish, I don't mind refunding your money whenever I'm back on my feet financially (very soon, hopefully).

Ingriid:
Sincerely, I have lost interest in humanity. These days I just stay on my own. The height of wickedness in this world especially this Nigeria is way too alarming. Something happened in my church today , I almost cried. We go to church/ mosque yet so full of evil.

If u are a wicked person, pls stop ur wicked and evil ways as this year comes to an end. Try to live right and do right. The world is too messed up! Sigh!

What do you think is responsible for such wickedness? Do people just decide to be wicked or does "something" beyond their control push them to be wicked, uncaring, unsympathetic, unempathetic and self-centered?
I believe if we can clearly understand the psychological, sociological and perhaps, spiritual causes of wickedness and cruelty among the majority of people, then it will become much easier to solve the problem.
