Exobiology is simply speculations. And in it.. its believed that its allowed.. they know its just assumptions based on what they are seeing.. read it up again.. its not abstract.

Fire has been.. who made the ones in volcanos? do you know how wild fire starts.

Man can visit other planets like Mars.. they know exactly what is needed but the technology is not here yet.
every observation in science start from hypothesis (intelligence guess),nothing like assumption in science. the theory has not been established yet , but sooner or later evidence will be given. elion musk said we may be living in simulation . do you know what that mean? you know little of what you are saying. continuing in your absolute wisdom. am done

Evolution that has been exposed as a scam?

Wait for science to get there or join them.. not speculation. Science dont ever move from unknown to unknown..

Its always unknown to known.
you are a proof of evolution.... from your toddler age to this present age of yours is an evidence of evolution, toddler , then to adolescent, then to adult and lastly if nature agree ,you will evolute to your grey age.

GO and read Charles Darwin theory of evolution, Darwin is not just a good communicator ,he is also an orator. it is not like every science book you read, it is very interesting .

First.. Science have no explanation for how the universe began.. just couple of fantasies on evolution and big bang.

I have read a couple of stories of conciousness and star to star movements of ancient beings or entities but i refuse to partake in such fantasies.

Well... Am a Christian... So i believe the account of Genesis on creation.

Thanks
your first sentence shows you lack scientific knowledge, science give a accurate explanation of the universe and also explain in details about the evolutionary process. the limitation of science in this theory it is inability to see beyond the universe..maybe soon science will get there

These are little stuffs used to confuse shallow minds.. fire is sustained basically by oxygen..

Haba... you know chemical reactions that occure for fire to light up.. you know what can put it off.. why looking for the spirt sustaining it again? pardon me but going by your posts.. you guys tie everything to ETs..
you already missed the given time. it is scientific question and it does not in anyway related to spirituality. of all the planet that exist in the solar system, earth is unique in its ability to sustain fire. they are two critical element that made it possible, the vast availability of plant and trees and the atmosphere full of oxygen to fame the flame. if fire was not possible , we will have nothing like us now. homo sapiens make our world with fire, all energy were created during the big bang,so the chemical reaction that occur before fire light was tap from star and the supernova. using fire to to cook is like having an external stomach to break down food, releasing more calories which in turn to energy and helping us develop effective brain. fire is also gateway to technology, through fire we steam water power, metals were converted to weapon. so another question to you, what is fire made of?



if you want to learn about Extra terrestrial life . go study exobiology

[quote author=budaatum post=64613926

Do note that about 1500 years before then, the western world had developed democracy, a superior mode of governance than the tyranny of the despotic kings most African villages had!




.[/quote]this deserve response.... if only you understand how Yoruba, Dahomey , akan political system was structured , you will realized it is more Superior than the west. let me give you an example using Yoruba society... in ile ife there are more than four family that are entitled to leadership position of king. before any candidate can be put forward, the four royal house must validate and authenticate the candidate. let me give you a breakdown political structure of the old oyo empire before the pre colonial era.


THE ALAAFIN: The Alaafin was seen as the political head of the empire. He was chosen by the Oyomesi.(king maker)

THE AREMO: He is the eldest son of the ruling Alaafin but cannot succeed his father at his demise. He can only help his father in the administration of the empire.

THE OYOMESI: These are the seven hereditary kingmakers in the Oyo empire. Their leader was Bashroun. They were responsible for installing a new Alaafin.

BAALE OR OBA: Each province was administered by Ajele or Oba. They guaranteed the payment of tribute.

THE ARMY (ESO): Are- ono kankanfo was the head of the army. Oyo had for long maintained a strong army that had been used in winning different wars. .

THE OGBONI SOCIETY: This society posses judicial powers and was involved also in policy making. The maintenance and preservation of the cultural values of the people were also delegated to them. They influence a lot of issues in the society.

THE IYA LOJA; Always a female, her position is to handle the commercial activity of the city which can be translate as minister of finance and industry. she is also into other decision that relate to women affairs

THE THREE ENUCHES: They were also involved in the administration of the empire. They were:
1. The Osi Efa: He was in charge of political affairs, he has to die with the Alaafin. He was also called ‘Abobaku’.
2. The Ona Efa: He was for judicial purpose
3. The Otun Efa: His function was to perform religious duties for the Alaafin .

hope this will help make you a good an unbiased comparison between your so western democracy and that of the Yoruba system in the 19 to 20 century..

Ask yourself which is more superior

Load of bullshit. When Rome was conquered by so-called barbarians in 479AD, Europe descended into the dark ages. It was an age characterized by white illiteracy, disease, ignorance and superstition. For over 1,000 years, this was the situation of the white European, he was devolved and he was ruled by darkskinned men. However, he arose from the cesspit in 1500AD in what is called the 'Renaissance'.

We black people are in our 'white ages' now, we will experience our own renaissance very soon, and this time around, our rulership will be forever and ever without end.
Am not even interested to counter the response but to speak the truth....lot of false information there bro. great spain was even under islamic leadership for more than a century...

You are right about everything except the first paragraph. Reincarnation is not a tribal affair. Bloodlines of the top 1% which most tag as Illuminati and the rest do not generate wealth and stay secretive because of anything like reincarnation, that is preposterous. They do that because this knowledge which I share comes from the same people who I can choose to go rogue and use the knowledge of materialism acquired alongside this to create unlimited wealth on this planet. It is this secret that they protect, not what their bloodlines can eat. Common guys, that is a poor man's thinking. The truly wealthy are interested in people with great intellect not the worth of your purse. Who cares.

All Human beings on planet Earth are from only one Human Being, and that Human Being was traced to Tanzania. Do not believe me, do your own independent research and you will come to this fact. So, reincarnation is not a local tribal Nigerian affair. Where discrimination is the anthem.

The Intelligence that designed the mountains, designed the Oceans, designed the Amazon, designed the moon and even the Sun. Do you understand that ? That is the same Intelligence that designed HUMAN BEINGS. They have no business which family is living in Bayelsa State and how you can be born in Bayelsa State. That is lame.

You specifically choose the type of family you want to be born into for the type of experience you want to have life carrying out your Life Mission. The the day is choosen for your arrival and you come through the sun. Yes, the sun. That is the vortex between this dimension and the next. Unlike many of you think, the sun is not hot. The heat comes from the bombardment of the photons on the air particles, the resistivity of components of plasma or ether is what produces that heat. Different races of ETs come to this planets always and they come in throw the sun. Are you aware of the solar flares ? Guys, I called this a chit chat thread, cos I wanted to draw your attentions to what it going on on the planet and the changes you see.

I did not come at all to argue with any one. I have this rare opportunity to have time to spend outside work to research and I just wanted people that will tag along and see how they can use some of this knowledge to better their lives and fight those attacks that happens and are called demonic nature. It is purely a scientific affair. Religions are just making people not to reason. And if we do not reason, Africa will continue to be in darkness. The smart nations have abandoned these religions cos they know the lies in them.

And I will be here telling people to read to free their minds. Stop wasting your time praying 24hrs instead of getting to work hard and study and keep that brain healthy.

I care about you guys, that is why I am here, I have plenty places I would have loved to be....may be I should just let the sleeping dog lie. You guys really need to go spend money and join those AMORC and Freemasonry where rich people go to spend huge to gain knowledge to build enterprises and I am here wasting my time. I should let you guys play on your turf and call owl devilish, and snake...satan. Funny people.
Black incarnating into white and white incarnating into black will distract the very law of nature and science . which itself will affect the purpose of existence. if you do not have the proper key (DNA), you cannot open the keyhole of someone who doesn't share your DNA sequence. This is why many Yoruba names point to the reincarnation of people but always thru the extended-family. Nameslike Babatunde (father has returned) reflect the Yoruba notion that reincarnation is a family affair.

Not really.

Nothing is fixed for you. Every decision is yours and has always been yours.

You made the choice of the kind of family you will like to be born into, the gender you prefer this time. I have no idea what you mean by choosing sense, cos all Humans have the same type of physical senses. You choose even the date you are born, cos it must align with the Star System your Soul came from.

This is a complex scientific event that is celebrated as naming ceremony on the 8th day after the child is delivered. That is precisely the day that the Soul enters the body of a delivered child, not before. It happens that 7 days of creation and rest, 7 days in a week, 7 colors of rainbow and the 7 days of a soul-less child and just after the 7th day, the soul projects into the body and the child is named on that day. Giving it the Identification of the Identity of the Entity. ID of the Entity, aka Identity, hiding the entity. The Human Spirit. Hu is sanskrit word for God, so Human is GodMan, God in Man.
i am sure you are talking about reincarnation, if so, that is not how reincarnation work . you can only reincarnate thru your clan or extended-family descendants. It doesn't have to be your direct great grandchild (it can be, for example, the great-grandchild of your second-cousin for example). It just has to have enough of your DNA code for you to transfer your spirit into it. In theory, you can transfer to anyone who shares your ethnic group DNA code. However, most genetic DNA theories are racist manipulation of science. DNA is not just a physical code but like a keyhole that allows you to open doors in the next reincarnation.

Europeans and Beige race pretends to be Christian, they understand this Reincarnation very well. This is why their clans establish strong dynasties and they accumulate wealth not just for them, but for the next three generations after them. They know they are coming back and they want to maintain their wealth.

that is why it is good to plan for three generations into the future (that you have enough prosperity that can be use to take care of your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren)so that you can enjoy it when you reincarnate

The aforementioned do not lead to spiritual decadence. They are a result of decadence, if anything, which religion in Nigeria has been unable to eradicate. One may safely conclude that we are getting worse because of religion, except we are actually improving as more people abandon religion.
it is very naive to attribute spirituality to Nigeria predicament. i rest my pen

I am very sorry, but your misconceptions need to be addressed just so other readers do not be led astray!

Economically speaking, Nigeria's lack of development has everything to do with "our concentration on spirituality"! The spiritual appears to entail the call on phantom forces to aid in our development, symbolised by the Nigerians' preference to pray for divine intervention instead of direct personal intervention. The westerner however, would rather work their socks off and be the change they desire. Just look at the numerous buildings in our nation devoted to the spiritual, and the dearth of industry and factories and the consequent lack of employment. Also consider the lack of health facilities and the numerous faith healers that take their place. Do you know the west plunders our health service workers and more of our doctors work abroad than in Nigeria? While we focus on the spiritual, we unfortunately abandon the here and now
Please also read the opening post where the op says her boss would rather they get on with their work instead of praying on the time he pays them for.


Not true! Not one single nation has significantly advanced until it came into contact with new foreign ideology! If fact, every single nation's progress has been predicate on the influx of foreign ideology! Yoruba land is a typical example. Obatala ruled. However the decadence of his rule is symbolised by his description as a drunk. He was usurped by Oduduwa, a foreigner.

Egypt is another example. In antiquity they borrowed knowledge from everywhere and became a great nation, as did Rome, and even the West who absorbed African might and Arabic philosophy to fuel its scientific revolution.

Do note that the old is always destroyed for the better to come about.


Africa was in no way well organised just before the arrival of the whites! Yoruba land itself was ravaged by war just before the whites arrived, as was much of sub Sahara Africa. In fact, Islam had civilised large parts of North Africa while West Africa remained impenetrable and in its pagan dark ages. It wasn't until Islam drifted down from the north and Christianity found a way in along the coast that the Yorubas, to mention one tribe amongst the many, stopped enslaving one another and sacrificing humans to their gods! War, plunder and slavery was rife in Yorubaland just before the arrival of westerners and its social fabric was disintegrating. Read the Samuel Johnson's, History of the Yorubas for more info.

Do note that about 1500 years before then, the western world had developed democracy, a superior mode of governance than the tyranny of the despotic kings most African villages had!


Yes, Europe underdeveloped Africa, but that is on the assumption that they should, could, or must have developed Africa! Lets not delude ourselves, the Europeans came to plunder Africa to develop their own nations. They didn't give a flying poo about us! They could only do this however, because we were not sufficiently developed to resist them when they arrived.

Our past ways could not sustain us and that is why we abandoned them. Superior powers only overcome inferior nations. Ancient Egypt is a typical example. It was so rich and (politically and scientifically) advanced that it was able to build the most advanced structures of its day, the pyramids. Yet, the politically and militarily advanced Romans came along and plundered it, as they did the once more politically advanced but militarily disorganised Greece. If Africa was as advanced as you claim, we would not have found the ideology of the Western World more appealing and abandoned our own.

Go read up about China, to see how another nation handled the superiority of the western world. China thought it was the greatest nation in the world until it was defeated by the more advanced Western World. It's current economic revival is because of its selective import of western ideology. They don't care where the ideology comes from as long as it proves effective, and today send millions out to learn the Western ways. Amazingly, however, they seem smart enough to limit Christian influence.

Nigeria is developing, albeit slowly. When I arrived on here some years ago, I could not have imagined that there would be this many people unshackled to the gods and no one dare touch their anointeds. Now however, more Nigerians are killing their gods and realising that the spirit is within them and if any one need be anointed, it is they themselves. Verily verily I say unto thee, to borrow a phrase, the day will soon come when we Nigerians will indeed know that we ourselves are the gods. Then would we too develop and be a new 'Jerusalem'.

Until then, the struggle continues, I guess.
you are tuning religious section into political section. if only moderator will allow.... that is cool. i think you are the one bringing in misconception.

ECONOMICALLY SPEAKING .Nigeria underdevelopment has nothing to do with spirituality, it has never be one. history state it all not me. it is very naive to attribute spirituality as the cause of Nigeria problem. do you know how much religion is indirectly generating to the economy pulse of the nation. do you know the number of foreigners that visit Nigeria just for spiritual tourism . ask TB JOSHUA. NIGERIA economy problem was as a result of these four major catastrophe ; Low economic growth performance , weak governance ,debt burden and lastly violence and crime . tell me how dose this aforementioned lead to spirituality. this is public forum you have to be careful of what you write up. pls do not relate crime and violence to spirituality. it is more of political issue. prayer is our norms everywhere. the royal house of England that is even much more formal start their activities with prayer, yes there should be time for everything. prayer is very effective in gathering thought into action. A daily prayer energies the body and make the body ready for the day activities . many organizations in the west still start the daily activities with prayer. it is not in anyway unprofessional. even public schools(secondary schools in the UK and Germany holds daily prayer. prayer for the queen and the rest for the nation.
.

You lack Yoruba history, oduduwa was not foreigner He is indigenous to Ancient Nigeria and was a prince of the Nok civilization. In antiquity, Ife was a part of the Nok civilization (as were the Hausa and Igbo). Oduduwa did not bring civilization from the Nile to Nigeria, for Ancient Nigeria already had civilization, one much older than Kemet. what oduduwa brought was the first militaristic government, and not the first government (which was egalitarian under the elders of Obatala.

United kingdom today still stick to their monarchical democracy, Italy still recognize the effective role of the papacy likewise Germany still welcome the leading decision of catholic. so tell me how their culture is not practice.. absorbing borrowed knowledge into your system is not the main argument here, accepting borrowed idea to override yours is the the main bone of argument. i repeat no country will developed with foreign idea. we do not share many things in common so solution to our problem can not also be in common. unless you are suggesting we should adopt their culture. this is what we did and it affecting us. we have different background.i accept, as Julius Nyerere(former Tanzania president) said we should only look into what agree with African ideology ,while we should discard the rest.

Again you lack yoruba history, Democracy was developed from the Greece, but it only give women the chances to vote only in 1936 while UK also was around that period, with the exception of USA that came in the late 1943 or so. but here in yoruba land, women hold significant figure in the royal politics as iya loja , iya lode and so many activities. in fact when it comes to trade and barter yoruba women were in the leading position. this surprise the west when they came to exploit us, madam tinubu (iya loja of EKO} has employed about 400 men working for her, it is unbelievable to their eyes as they were no such thing in their land. have you hear of efusetan aniwura? another prosperous yoruba woman. an india professor once says that'' if you want to know the level of civilization of a society ask for the role of women'' so tell me how civilized was the west then? if she could not regard women in their politics. yoruba kindgom as a whole where heavily involved with the Sahelian trading network that linked the kingdoms of Wagadu, Djenné, Sokoto, Nok, Sao, Darfur, Kush, and Daamat. Its primary trading goods were iron, gold, horses, textiles, and cattle. By the 4th-century bce, Ife was as populous as Meroé and Waset (Luxor) in the Nile Valley. Ifé city was full of sublime architecture and monumental statues. It was the heartbeat of West-Central Africa for the next several centuries. It was not until the 14th-century when Islam became the dominant political-economic alliance in West Africa,that every things begin to change. i can write more on this but it is just enough.


it is closed case. you agree, Europe underdeveloped us and this true. it is not that we could not resist. they overpower us by force .i think i got stop here..... i am tired of typing.may be later

The Future is NOT fixed for anyone. There are fixed parameters on the timelines but regarding human achievements and failure, it is your choices and decisions that determines if you are successful or not-so-successful. This is a Universe of all possibilities, you can be anything you want to be but it wont be given, you have to work your ass off but if you know what Life is all about, then opportunities will always meet you prepared. That is what I mean, when I tell people that I create my Luck. Create yours, no more time to lazy around.

You asked how one can fulfill personal destiny ? There is no pre-fixed destination of achievement for you or anyone else. Study the Universe and know what you are. What this Earth is and beings that designed this place. When you have figured it all out, then you will understand the rules of success. The more you know about life the greater the opportunities, right ? You cant design airplanes if you are too scared to climb a mango tree, so its time to step up the game. None one will do this for you.

This is the bitter Truth religions wont tell you, cos they need your offerings and tithes for God to 'open' your way.
they are pre_fixed personal destiny and there is nothing anyone can do about it , such as gender, sexual orientation, race,color, and the Host of physical senses like sight, smell, hearing and touch.

First, buda does not believe stuff made up in her own head, so why would she believe stuff you make up in yours? Please, when you read, "buda is an atheist", do note that it means she does not do belief of almost any sort.

Secondly, I do see sense in what you've written, but I do not accept that your view on the issue is correct. The facts just don't seem to support you. There is enough history about East Germany so one does not need to resort to guessing or making it up.

Their backwardness, as it was - full employment for instance, and housing - was due to economic sanctions the west placed on communist nations and the subsequent lack of inflow of funds for development. USSR and Cuba suffered the same isolation, and North Korea are suffering it too. Iran only just had embargoes lifted, and Trump is threatening to impose similar sanctions on Palestine if they don't bow to the desires of Israel! Oddly enough, there are no sanctions placed on Nigeria, just that investors get better returns investing their funds in better developing nations as opposed to stagnant Nigeria. Some will claim that stagnation is because of our inability to evolve, which is due to our current (I would say, non-progressive) ideology!) we, infect, are placing sanctions on ourselves!

Incidentally, the former East Germans are pining for the better days of demarcation as their lot has deteriorated since unification. (cf Ostalgie)


She actually was letting Muslim refugees in, so I do not see how that amounts to "establishing of what she term as Christian democracy", unless she's so desperate that belief in any gods would do.

At the elections in September 2017, Christian democratic political alliance of two political parties in Germany, the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) and Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU) actually lost 65 seats, an 8.6% point swing, because they were perceived to be Islamizing the nation. The result is Merkel losing seats in the Bundestag and being unable to form a government, and the rise of fascism all over Europe. Even Teresa May had to pay a billion pounds to just about the most fundamentalist party in UK in order to have a majority in the House which she lost at the elections last year.

All Western nations are suffering from a declining population as the old die off and the young have fewer babies than their parents had. This has resulted in a reduction in tax revenue as workers have declined. They have therefore resorted to taking people from wherever they can get them to fill the gap in their purses (though it does seem they don't want Africans if they can help it). The stumbling block however is that the indigenous people don't like the effects of immigration since it lowers their wage packet as immigrants accept lower pay and working conditions, and bring in ideology that is foreign to them.

The fact is that religion (or ideology, in a broader sense) can stimulate progress and development. Examples are Europe in the first century and Nigeria in the 15th Century at the arrival of Christianity. It can also however stifle progress and development (cf. Europe's dark ages 400-800AD, and Nigeria, one might say since about the 1800s).

Incidentally, it was the arrival of another religion (Islam, to be specific), that helped pull Europe out of its dark ages!

You can read about the decrease in Christians and the closure of churches, and the increase in mosques and Muslims in Germany below.

"Between 1990 and 2010 we closed 340 churches, and of those 46 were demolished," says Thomas Begrich, head of finances for the Evangelical Church of Germany

This is why i said an otherwise answer from you will be like pulling the rabbit out of the bag. Your response has absolutely nothing to do with what we are saying here.

My response to u was based on ur words that east Germany, an atheist community, is not advanced. This implies that u accept that some communities are better than others in terms of advancement. Why are u now telling me that there are no developed societies anywhere? Didnt u know this before making a comparison with east germany?

Fine i accept there is no perfect society but u and i know the road in uk are better than that of Nigeria, The hospitals in London are better equipped and have beter doctors than your exemplary East Germany.

My question which in your attempt to dodge u responded with a completely unrelated statement is: what has your spiritual Nigeria achieved in terms of advancement compared to other less spiritual societies?
you will never see the truth if you do not collapsed your ego.

Development is a literal terms, you should be careful when using it next time. if you are using economics terminology, then identify it. human index development(access to quality health care , basic infrastructure and social amenities) in the west is far better than that of Africa. this is true. and do you know why? it has nothing to do with our concentration on spirituality but failure to annex our cultural system in line with our political system, instead we depend on the ideology of the west(capitalism). No nations developed while relying on borrowed system. check china , Singapore, south Korea these nation were once colonized by the British and Japanese respectively....but these nation quickly realized following the former master ideology will not in any way yield profit. they draw the master plan of their economy in line with the cultural values and today these once a colony state are at per or far better than their former master.

Africa in its early days was well organized, before the white set in. using the Yoruba society as an example, we give democracy and freedom to women in our society even before the west do. we lay a good foundation of political leadership before the west set in, everything collapsed when the west visit our prosperous land. Kenya economy is better than that of Korea in 1970 but today you will think the reverse is the case. we can only achieved progressed until we go back to our cultural values system. Europe understand it better. read this book online ... how Europe underdeveloped Africa

Nigeria spiritual system is politicized , what we practiced here is a borrowed ideology.... i repeat no nation can developed without annexing its cultural value.. WE are still under colony but is called neocolonialism

Religion is a mixture of TRUTH with lies, errors and other twisted doctrines.

Truth remains the TRUTH.

If I might ask, does the Eternal Creator have a religion?

Moreso, people like Enoch or Job ...did they need to be religious people before communicating with God?

Did Jesus need to be religious to communicate with His Eternal Father - God Almighty?
It is important to separate God from religion. All of the world religions started as a means to transcendence and identification of purpose. every human on earth has a purpose, which directly means every human has a religion. we are not robot or lower conscious animal . we are created with self awareness. But the original systems of identify this purpose which is religion became politicized, they became less about spiritual development, and more about control. The intimate relationship between created and creator was superseded by selfish interest.. ALL RELIGION STILL HAVE SOMETHING THAT HAS SURVIVE, WHICH IS CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM.

once you identify your purpose,you will reach enlightenment and you will be the truth you are seeking for..

External creator is an impersonal force of creation. The Creator exists beyond all dualities and therefore cannot be defined as male or female, light or dark,religious etc. the purpose of GOD is beyond my comprehension... i may not be able to answer you and i do not think you can. humanity needs religion not external creator since we do not know its attribute.

every human who find their purpose in life is religious . be you Jesus, Jacob ,Isaac, orunminla , Muhammad. etc.

I do not have a religion.

By the way, are you referring to Yeshua hallucinating?

Lemme ask you a question...prior to the invention of microscope...anyone who argued that viruses and all of that exists without any evidence of seeing it with the naked eyes would also be "hallucinating"...

Our naked eyes are not the best standard to help us fully explore the seen and the unseen... You can be patient to wait in a million years' time perhaps, when science would have discovered a way of helping man travel to another dimension of existence with aid of space ships and teleportation technology...

Sadly...as "advanced" as we think our technology is...it is still primitive compared to what the inner man can accomplish...
i said your religion or your experience...i choose my word carefully. you do not ask me a question. you are only explaining yourself...

I am referring to the op. if he is hallucinating or he mean all what he do post

the right question people of the middle age will ask such a fellow is to let them experience how the fellow validate the existence of the virus, since there most be common techniques everyone can experience?

please it is good to have a thought.... thought is difference from experiencing reality, i accept before your reality can be projected. it must first experience in thought. is it a thought experiment? if that is it i will be ok since everyone does it . pls let do it tomorrow, i wanner swleep

You should be able to tell the difference between religion and truth.

Before religion ever existed, the TRUTH has always been there...

Fragments of the TRUTH would still reflect itself in religion...whether Abrahamic or not...

I am focusing on the words of Jesus as to what Hell is...what did Yeshua say about Hell? Afterall, He's undisputably the Ascended master...hence, He should be the point of reference
what is truth? it will take a lot of time and its late. but in a little definition. truth is the ultimate reality into the way things really are'' while the pure definition of religion is purpose. once you realize your purpose in life, that is the day you are tunning religious. so the truth and religion can not be separated. religion exist alongside truth.

so evidence of truth is by realizing your purpose.. did your religion or experience give you that oppurtunity?

i am not a Christian, so you direct your question to the follower of yesheua . my question still remain ,how is he sure he is not hallucinating? can he unlock is subconscious mind?

Yeah... there should be a direct opposite for the existence of Heaven...

After all, if light exists, so does darkness.

But the question now is, is the opposite of Heaven what religion preaches?

I know there's the Eternal darkness Yeshua spoke of...
if you have these ideology, you are still not far from abrahimic religion.... what you have just done is modification.... i do not subscribe to it. and regarding the abstract projection.....how is he sure he is not hallucinating? can he unlock is subconscious mind?
Christianity Etc › Re: ChitChat on GOD, The Architecture of Life & its Universe (Derailing Encouraged) by vaxx: 1:40am On Jan 29, 2018
if you accept the reality of heaven. are you not also suggesting the reality of hell fire? since every thing in universe exist in pairs. the male and the female , the night and the day, the birth and the death. i will like to hear from you?

Why are you unwillingly to see that the backwardness of East Germany too had nothing to do with religion but with political and economic struggle?

People have indeed hidden behind ideology (judaism, Christianity, Islam, Paganism Nazism, Communism, atheism etc) to commit atrocities against their fellow human beings, but that is not to say some god done it unless one is dishonest or actual lacks historical knowledge.
The decision of communism government to indoctrinate the nation with Atheism ideology contribute majorly to the backwardness of the country...this is spiritual, i can not proof it, but that is my intelligent guess and you should not discard it as you can not proof it either. but look at it this way....the strongest political party in Germany (christian democratic union) has an ideology of establishing of what she term as Christian democracy which might not go down well with the people of the east...is this not a division?

i admit , the backwardness can also be linked to political issue but that is on the physical realms.... the economics can not even trace why the east is still lagging behind despite the huge concentration of economic development there .....take time and read about eastern part of German online. may be you may see sense in what i am typing

It is an insult on the millions of dead people persecuted by religious folks to say the allegations are not well founded.
Don't attempt to rewrite history cos these incidents are well documented.
religious has never been the cause of war. it is either political or economic struggle. i accept religious reason are used for non religious purpose. but religious in its actual sense do no spark war. gun do no kill people. it is people that kill people.

Catholic Church contributed nothing to this world order than death and destruction. If it were left to them we would still be burning little girls as witches just because thunder randomly strikes some churches. It is surprising how they managed to take glory for everything thousands of scientists sacrificed their lives for.
i am aware of this allegation, although it is not well founded, but you can not also deny their impact in the development of western civilization. i encourage you to read the book. the book is not a catholic book so there is no bias .it is purely academic.

Please don't insult my intelligence by claiming I would not understand a thing. Not agreeing with you does not mean I do not understand.

There is nothing to indicate that "former East Germany was not especially prosperous compared to the West and some of the most prosperous parts of pre-WWII eastern Germany". Germany, as a whole, was not doing so well after the punitive sanctions imposed on it by the western alliance after the first world war. You have heard of wheelbarrows full of Deutschmarks used to buy a singlie loaf of bread?

East Germany, after the second world war, was ruled by despots who used Federal Marxist–Leninist one-party socialist system to oppress the people. Religion was still practised by some people though it was suppressed and dwindled over time. The leaders imposed atheism as a religion to suit their needs but that is not what ruined East Germany. The closing up of their society to migration and emigration did. And people are leaving there now for the same lack of opportunity people leave Nigeria, and Africa on the whole. If it weren't for the fact that condoms and contraceptives are so dear, We too would have shrinking populations, I bet.
This is not intended to insult your intelligence ,i myself still lack sufficient knowledge of spiritual education, so pardon me.

Europe as a whole was not doing well not Germany alone. it was called the GREAT DEPRESSION... you can read about it. but not withstanding, the west Germany has more infrastructure than the east.. there was intensification of agriculture, and industry more than eastern part. go through this links ,the english wikipedia does not say much, look here: Reparationen – Wikipedia. it is dutch , so use goggle translator..

may flying spaghetti monster bless you for accepting that the former leader impose atheism on them to suit their needs. so it was not deliberate.

The problem of east Germany is not economical problem, as there is more revenue from the west to the east and there are more government work to do in the eastern part currently, hope you know Berlin is both shared by the east and the west. and the east also owns an harbor that stretch to the northern part . the migration of people from eastern part of Germany can not be compared to that of Nigeria. Nigeria case is related to lack of opportunity, the eastern part is related to what i can say? they are lot brewery industry in the east....


your last paragraph is not well founded .....
