BloomingDale:In other cultures, particularly in the East. Married women opening their legs for another man is a taboo, with serious societal and sometimes spiritual consequences. |
BloomingDale:Are you talking about before or after he married his wife? |
Olastep:Even if its true, I don't understand how it justifies his sleeping with a married woman on live TV. |
ogwumgbe:Then what of the ones that insists on Burka for principle of fairness.
|
WatchYourSix:That's the modern plaque of the black man. He drags religion into every mandane issue. When Europe and US is losing Religion(Asian countrys have lost religion long ago) to concentrate on physical and societal development, Black Africans want expend all our energy and resources on religion. And eventually destroying ourselves with religious wars. |
compton11:And the Arabs did not justify their racial thing with the Koran? |
WatchYourSix:That's why I am advocating that we do away with school uniform in public schools. And allow private school set up their school uniform according to their religious beliefs. |
ogwumgbe:That's why it's called a uniform. If you want us to do away with school uniform and allow everyone dress as they please according to their culture, religion or preferences, then by say so. |
compton11:The Islamic slave traders were more brutal to your ancestors than their European counterparts. Their chances of making it alive across the Sahara desert was extremely slim
|
maasoap:Irony of the millennia. Persecuting Muslims? You guys love speaking in irony. It's Muslims that persecute and kill others in Muslim dominated places. |
compton11:When the Europeans were hunting your ancestors like animals in the forest what were they wearing? See pictures of your Yoruba ancestors being led away to slave ports like badagry.
|
maasoap:It goes beyond a young girl covering her head. Its all about imposing your religion on everyone else with threats of violence. You guys want to dictate how others dress, dress, eat, drink and have sex. Religion is supposed to be a personal affair between you and your God, but no, you guys must impose your beliefs on others. Nigeria is meant to be a secular nation, where Muslims, Christians, traditionalists, Satanists and atheists are meant to live without fear or favour. But what do you guys do? Use violence and threats to impose your Islamic laws and religion on non Muslims. |
HilcomTech:We Christians? You should advice your fellow Muslims to be more tolerant of other people's beliefs and way of life. I have never heard of Christians burn someone alive for insulting it's prophets, I have not seen Christians screaming "Jesus is lord" while beheading a person. I have never seen Christians abducting young girls and raping them in the name of God. Islam's is the most violent religion in modern times. |
compton11:There must be something in Islam that makes believers angry, intolerant and outrightly violent. Why the anger, why the insult? Whats your business if I eat pig or drink kai kai? Did I use your mouth? I can dress whichever way I like, that's non of your business also. Afterall your ancestors walked around bare chested before the Arabs and Europeans enslaved them. |
HilcomTech:Why? The judgement applies only to public schools. You cannot impose hijab in Christian schools just as you cannot send your child to Muslim schools and then refuse the hijab. |
MaxInDHouse:So you are insinuating that the tree was not a literal tree but a spiritual one, and that Adam and Eve did not eat a literal apple (or whatever fruit it was)? |
mamdanju:Which among them are the 7 that sat in this judgement and their religion? |
blingxx:I hope you will not complain too if a rastafarian boys wear the rasta cap to school.
|
KnownUnknown:This is the reason I left Christianity very early in life. It's too negative and narcissistic. How can you believe that an innocent child that just came into this world is already a demon? A new born exudes love and innocence. No Holy Spirit descends on children at the age of 12. In fact that when children actually become demons. Because hormones are just starting to kick in and they exhibit a whole lot of irrational and rebellious behaviours. My 13 year old is almost driving my wife insane. I informed her that our daughter will be worse. Girls are usually more delinquent and rebellious at early teens. It's when they get to around 18 - 20 that their hormones begin to settle down and they start being sensible and rational. |
compton11:But it's your guys that are more obsessed with what others wear, eat or drink. You guys get violent trying to impose your way of life on others. |
CaptainFM1:Religion is the worst legacy of our enslavement and colonialism. Its effects are more long lasting and destructive than slavery itself. |
mfm04622:Why would there be a general general ban on jewelry in schools, when certain jewelries are worn as a religious obligation? |
compton11:That means any one can wear any uniform or accessory to school in order to protect a certain religion or personal believe. Why then are we fooling ourselves we are practicing a secular constitution? We should just say we are a Christian- Muslim theocracy. |
Christistruth00:And Rastafarians are free to wear their head gear to cover their dreadlocks. |
Image123:What do you mean by triune nature and immortality? What is triune nature and is man immortal? How come other animal species like our closest species like the Urangutan and Gorilla don't possess these nature? And how are you certain that there are no other life in the vast universe that share these so called nature? |
MaxInDHouse:Why would God put a harmful tree there knowing fully well they would eat the fruit? It's like a father putting assorted toys for a 3 year old child and including a match box, and then telling the kid " every toy you can play with, but you must not play with the matchbox, else you burn yourself". And the leave the child all by itself. Obviously the child would lit the matchbox. Who then is to blame? |
justcool:Studies have shown that plants do indeed feel pain and respond to external stimuli, but it does so at a much slower time frame. If mankind had not interfered or halted the development and evolution of creation, at this point man and animals would have evolved out of meat consumption and become vegetarians.How did man interfere or halt the development and evolution of creation? Are you insinuating that man changed and destroyed God's plans? It is true that at the initial stages, animal consumption is necessary, however this is not cruelty. At the initial stages of our earth lives, during our infancy, we suckled our mother’s breasts for nutrition. But this is expected only at the stages of infancy and once this stage is passed, the child is weaned off its mother’s breast.Evolutionarily man started out as a vegetarian, as he had no facilities to hunt, eat and digest meat. But the need for more concentrated energy source to drive his increasing brain size and capacity made him include meat in his diet. Even up till now digesting meat is a problem for the human digestive system even after cooking (which partially digest it). Some women have confessed that breastfeeding their children gave them indescribable joy. But do you know that breastfeeding is painful. Only a weakling will say that it’s cruel that infants have to suckle their mothers, which is physically painful to the mothers.Breastfeeding is only painful at the initial stage - the first few days after childbirth. After that it becomes pleasurable until the woman starts weaning the child of breast milk. At the initial stages of development of the physical realm, living things had to feed on others to survive. This is quite beneficial to both the prey and the predator, as it keeps them in motion, preventing indolence and laziness which is detrimental to life. Animals gladly incarnate into this physical realm either to become a prey or predictor, as this helps their souls evolve. The hunting for food or running away from predictor gives the animals impetus to become alert; and this alertness helps their souls evolve. It appears cruel only looking at it from the physical perspective, however once you overlook the entire process, you will observe the blessing inherent in the process.Agree with this postulation. The dynamics between prey and predator keeps an ecological balance for the environment. Predators keep the population of prey in check as they they usually breed in large numbers. Not keeping them in check would be destructive to vegetation of the environment. Preys are usually small in numbers due to the difficulties and dangers of associated with hunting prey. The animals, like goats, cows, and chickens, that incarnate to provide food for mankind are like mothers who sacrifice their bodies, or gladly offer their nipples to infants. When one considers the joy that mothers feel when they see their children grow, the consequential pain that accompanies breastfeeding becomes negligible.Don't agree with this. I am certain goats, cows, and chickens did not elect to sacrifice their bodies to feed mankind or any other animal. It's just the nature of nature. You can say that strife is fundamental to earthlife; however, strive is not tantamount to suffering. Whenever excessive suffering arises, there you see the failure of mankind. The creator does not wish the His creatures suffer.I agree that strife is fundamental to earthlife. I also agree that man contributes to excessive strife (sufferings) by our greed and lack of empathy. But to to put the blame solely on human is unacceptable to me. Nature plays a huge part in suffering also, aka diseases, famine, natural disasters, etc. Are you insinuating that man can alter God's wishes? If that is possible, how come you guys continue to argue for his omni this and omni that? |
DeepSight:That's one thing the theistic religions promotes very well - lack of empathy towards other animals and indeed other peoples as well. The only important thing to them is self and selfish pursuit of personal wellbeing. The hyena example is rampant with humans particularly with adherent of theistic religions. Defrauding a person of his life's savings and life's work is no different from ripping the buffalo of its balls. The person will die slowly of the pains and grief of the difficult life ahead. His children and dependants might also die from the sufferings induced by the scammers. In all these the scammer doesn't care but thank his God for providing a free meal (meat) off the pains of others. This is also nature at its most brutal. We humans (blacks) even take to the basic animalistic level by actually ripping out the balls (or virgina of women) and eating it (selling it for money) as a means of survival. What makes them different from the hyena. The irony is 100% of people that engage in this type of animalistic brutal behaviour claim to be theists. On thing I have learn from decades of being an atheist is that theism kills or deaden human conscience and allows him do evil things without the feeling of remorse. |
Igbojew:But your igbo part of South South had never been in the same political unit as the South East. (assuming your are delta igbo) |
SugarGirl44:And you think you are more Lagosian or even more Yoruba than I. |
sulaak:You are only being emotional instead of logical. The word Yoruba is a relatively new term. The people grouped as Yoruba today started as various diverse ethnic groups like Oyo, egba, Egun, Ife, etc. The part that comprised Lagos was inhabited by the Ijebus, the Eguns, the Aworis and the Edos ( who created the first monarchy). Lagos was not politically under the Westen Region during the first Republic. Even in the third and fourth Republic, Lagos has been clamouring for a special status. I doubt Lagos would want to be subservient to a political South West region except of course political power (Capital) resides in Lagos. |
treatise:South South will never agree to go back to the Eastern region. They fought tooth and nail to leave the Eastern region and there were wild celebrations when General Gowon split them from the Eastern region. |
