God can heal cancer and HIV but can't heal a bruise/cut. Yeah right! You all keep deceiving yourself after all you believe a snake can talk. |

Princewilla:Call me whatever you want... I don't give a flying Bleep. I know people who participate and get paid. But they know the crash is inevitable. There is a reason China has a ban on it! It is simply a ponzi scheme. Because they don't use the word "pyramid" does not mean anything. Can I invest today and get money back without referring new members? No. Thats what makes it a pyramid! I hope our legislative do something about this. This get rich quick is a problem Nigerians have to eradicate from our system. Go down and get your hands dirty. Work hard and you'll be successful. |
MMM is simply a ponzi scheme(scam). Only people up the hierarchy benefit and when new members stop coming, it crashes. The money of new members is used to pay people higher up the pyramid. What happens when there are no new members? No one gets paid. This is the reason why they always tell members to get new recruits so that the cash flow doesn't stop. The scheme can only go thus far! They pick countries with large population an target the gullible. MMM isn't the first ponzi scheme in Nigeria. The other ones have died off. It is very legal. Bernard Madoff was sent to prison because as administrator he used members money for his own person stuff which is illegal. One of the founders of MMM (Sergei Mavrodi)was arrested for fraud in 2003 after the first collapse. He started another one called MMM-2011 and the current one(started in 2015 in) is based on this model. When MMM dies, another pyramid scheme would come out claiming to be better. My advice "DO NOT PATRONIZE MMM" Put your money into a business no matter how small it is. Work hard and you'll get results. |
I don't believe God, Devil, heaven, hell or even the bible exists but if they do and the bible's content is authentic then: I'm with her "I WOULD RATHER BURN IN HELL THAN WORSHIP A MONSTER CALLED GOD" |
Tellemall:I talk about all religion, christianity and islam have the most followers in Nigeria and christians are more on NL than any other! I often refer to "religious groups" and their "holy books" To the questions in your second paragraph? Aren't you talking about the brain? When the brain stops function, there goes the man too (at least for now). Studies are being carried out to make computers act like the brain would. I've posted biblical verses that show the earth is flat. I'll post it on here, later for you, ok! If you have a loads of cash, you can actually see the positron. Several universities including Caltech carry out paid viewing. Its just expensive. No one has seen god. Your bible says so! Science attempts to unravel everything and once it unravels a thing, that thing cannot be classified as "supernatural" anymore. As I said earlier Science changes based on new evidence unlike religion that holds to its belief despite shattering proof. I haven't figured out the most correct answer to the question "why are we here?" But I reject the convenient answers in religious text. I'll rather live my life for myself, and to further prosperity of humanity until I find a "more accurate" answer! You seem quite intelligent, can you prove to me that your god exists? I'll send you my email so we do not go off topic here! |
raphieMontella:I already created one some days back! Link: https://www.nairaland.com/3452226/bible-christianity-debunked Notice their epic fails in bending logic ![]() |
I recently found out I was banned in the programming section. The link to the post was not mine. LINK: https://www.nairaland.com/3450550/nairaland-improvements-needed/1#50960356 I'm new to NL, and I've become a fan but this is unfair. Sorry for posting this here but I had no other way to complain. This is the closest section I could find!

In agreement to the original post: WAR: According to history, we are living in the most peaceful times FALSE PROPHETS: Science as made prophesy less appealing. Even christians most times doubt their so called prophets. FAMINE: With GMO's, hunger would soon be a thing of the past. CHRISTIANS PERSECUTION: As stated, christians became the persecutors. Religious persecution as reduced and continues to reduce because humaity is becoming more tolerable. PESTILENCE (DISEASES): Breakthrough in science as seen more and more diseases being treated. Cloning would end it all! NATURAL DISASTERS: World population has drastically affected earths resources hence natural disasters. If care is taken to reduce the population (or limit its growth) we would see a decline in it. Also, advancement in space exploration would render this useless as man strives to find more habitable planets. Also Everyone would hear about Jesus before his coming. People in parts of the world don't even know about christianity e.g North Korea. Emergence of the antichrist, a world government, unified banking(financial) system etc. https://www.nairaland.com/3450854/rapture-before-during-after-antichrist This link shows biblical verses that the antichrist comes before rapture, and subsequent second coming. |
Most people who say homosexuality is wrong are coming from a religious point of view. Bible (most) scholars around the world have seen the contradictions in the bible and acknowledge the importance to separate "church and state". Laws in a state should not be based on religious laws because not everyone in a given society subscribes to (that) particular religion. We all know that homosexual couples cannot reproduce (at least not yet) but that should not prevent them from expressing their love for each other. They can adopt as some heterosexual couples do. Homosexuals having sex does not in any way cause anyone harm. It might seem awkward to some but that doesn't make it wrong? Religious books endorses slavery but does that make it right? Homosexuality is very natural as animals practice it. Good laws can be made void of religious beliefs as we've see in the abolition of slavery. Therefore, I know that homosexuality is not wrong. |
@hahn in the first few replies accurately described the god of the old testament with verses from the bible. ![]() Then christians pick one or two verses that say god never contradicts itself. If I write a book and a line in the book says "This book is the best book ever written and cannot be disputed", does this make the book factual? What makes a book factual is the validity and truth in its content. The bible has proved otherwise!I'll say again, if christians actually read the bible, we'll see less of them. They rather read only the parts their pastors have culled for them. You take it all or leave it all! |
@tellemall Tellemall:The scientific method is applied to everything science deals with. "Holy books" on the other hand claim to know what is and have several times in the past proved themselves wrong. One of the beauty about science is that it is subject to change. If more evidence about a theory proves the theory is wrong, we do not just blow these evidence off, rather we experiment more so as to know the truth. Many have not seen the positron but its application is undeniable. Same with your god, many have not seen it but I dare them to prove his existence. According to the bible(old testament) god would prove itself when questioned/challenged. Why does that not happen anymore. Science is never scared of confrontations. Actually it strives to be seen, to clear all existing doubts. Actually its the bible that said the world was flat, philosophy suggested otherwise and science proved the earth is indeed spherical. Btw I know the physics behind positrons, I just haven't had the opportunity to experiment with it because of the limited technology in Nigeria. |
shumuel:1. Predictions are not prophecies. Predictions are based on current events(in this case technology) and growth rate of these events. They do not claim to be factual. Prophecies on the other hand, claim to tell the future as it is. 2. Archaeologist who have found remains of dinosaurs and other extinct animals are yet to find remains of dragons. 3. Baba Vagna is not new. Her predictions are not strange, most are scientific and politically motivated and can/have been predicted by others. Even the bible predicts some of the things she claims to prophesy. This doesn't make her see the future. Ice caps melting, alien life, invading other planets, rise of Islam, etc are predictions scientist have laid down long before her! |
The page title for the "mentions page" reads "search". |
Tellemall:The questions were thrown at @seun but I''l like to give my opinion Why do you doubt that one wouldn't believe? Do you doubt the power of your God to show one the "dark forces" that exist? Its quite hard and frankly damn impossible to quest for the supernatural. The word supernatural means something that is beyond nature. How can man explain it. Every attempt by creationist to explain the supernatural (God) is false and their "holy books" is their only reference. Scientific laws are only accepted if and only if they have been tested with all(and different) variables and can be repeated over and over again. Scientist aren't looking for god, we are just trying to answer the question "why are we here?" and have simply rejected the seemingly convenient answer given to us by creationist. I for one have never seen a positron but I have seen its application, and numbers don't lie (I know the physics behind it). The positron annihilation spectroscopy is used to detect flaws in solid objects (among other uses). Every time its put to the test, it delivers. It doesn't cherry pick when it would function, I can't say the same for your god. |
shumuel:"Back to the future" movie is a work of fiction and does not claim to prophesy what the future holds. BTW fire-breathing dragons never existed. I think @seun's point was that prophets and prophecies are fake because no one can actually see the future! |
In another 3.5 billion years. By then, I trust man would be far away from earth. Man would always survive (I hope). |
I've also read the original blog post and its comment. Took me like 20 mins. I never consider what I read as a waste of time but that really came close. Fallacies upon fallacies. It wasn't shocking though because that's how christians argue. I couldn't help but feel pity for people who actually believe his opinions. People do evil because they are inherently evil not because they were influenced by what they previously watched. I bet most people have seen scenes of murder but how many people have actually killed anyone? This are things that happen in real life. Even the rape of Sansa shouldn't have been off-scene (in my opinion). A rapist is a rapist and should be punished accordingly. Hiding them from TV shows, does not reduce the amount of rape cases in the society, in fact it only helps to hide the problems of the society. In conclusion I'll like to advice everyone to watch the show. I'm a big fan of GOT, a fervent follower and I never get disappointed. |
naijadeyhia:Because scientist don't know the origin of the universe yet doesn't make saying the world was created by a god right! The big bang theory is what it is a theory. Just like everything that has to do with science, proof has to be given to make it fact. Unlike your religious books that just force you to believe something and if that doesn't work threaten you with hell. |
bennyann:The idea isn't to turn people into atheist. It is to make people think for themselves and not accept everything anyone who claims to be a "man of god" says. If it turns them to atheism, well its their choice, but at least they've done the seemingly hard thing of rational thinking and now know the truth! |
Yungkid101:"servants of satan". You have to prove that satan exists in the first place! Since you can do that, God, heaven, hell, just like satan are myths that would soon be turn to video games and movies like thor and zeus are now! More entertainment for us. woot woot! |
Christians!

There is nothing wrong if he says he will tear up his green card. The problem would be if he can't back it with action! |
------ US Presidential Election 2016 ------ THE TRUMP wins. I'm so fucking happy! First off, it shows TB Joshua (just like every other fucking pastor) is an absolute fake. Using probability and other current events to predict and then call it "vision". Any smart 10 year old can do that! I like to see the faces of all those racist Nigerians and other people of the world who think The Trump is racist! I wonder the nightmare y'all are having right now! Deporting illegal immigrants now makes someone racist, how dumb can you be. Stay and suffer in your country if you are so offended. Do you know the meaning of a "state" and the responsibilities of a "government"? All (well most) of my hardworking American friends would have more money! As taxpayers money is being used for what really matters, like education, and sustaining (running) a smaller government, security of its citizens than for other countries who refuse to "advance". You see, I want the best for all my friends. All those who said they'll leave (scholars, politicians, celebrities etc) the US if Trump wins, well I've started counting! THE TRUMP, go kick some ISIS butt. Can I get a woot woot! |
“God shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble.” — Job 9:6 “The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astounded at [God's] rebuke.” — Job 26:11 “It is [God] who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in.” — Isa. 40:22 “God has [created the Earth as] a circle on the face of the [chaos] waters [between the Earth and outer space], at the boundary between light and darkness.” — Job 26:10 “I [Lady Wisdom] was brought forth when [God] had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil. When [God] established the heavens, I was there, when [God] drew a circle on the face of the deep.” — Prov. 8:26-27 “The devil took [Jesus] to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor” [Matthew 4:8]. (Even from the top of Mt. Everest, it is impossible to see the “kingdom” of Australia, to cite just one example.) “When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I [God] who keep its pillars steady.” — Psalm 75:3

I don't think so too!
