That verse is mischievously or ignorantly misinterpreted... But compare that to the Biblical injunction in Deuteronomy 22:28–30; where a supposedly merciful God commanded that a punishment for the raping of a young virgin damsel is for the rapist to pay her father just 50 shekels and marry her for life. The rapist was seen by God (?) as ruining someone else’s property, not ruining a young innocent girl’s life. Forcing a girl to marry her rapist (just imagine!) and have her remain in the sham marriage for life is anything but just, fair, equitable, or even logical. C'mon!

What's the punishment for blasphemy in Islam?

I don't know about Islam but the punishment of blasphemy in Christianity is death (Leviticus 24:16).

Even though I am a atheist - more agnostic, I like the character of Jesus. He is a humanist, a pacifist and socialist, quite the opposite of the character of Paul, on who Christianity is modeled on. Christianity in fact should be called paulinity as it projects the views of Paul and not Jesus.

Christianity is a mixture of Paul's views, ancient Roman Pagansism and Roman political structure.

Thank you for saying what I avoid saying. You're learned, I can see.

When people start questioning celebrating the king of kings because they choose to bow down five times a day to relics in East kept by a known pedophile.

Jesus is Lord of all flesh.

We will celebrate Jesus forever and ever Amen.

Jesus too bowed down in prayers. Read more bro.

Christmas just like most parts of today's Christianity were the invention of Roman Pagans under the King Constantine who was not himself a Christian, in the year 325 CE. Jesus is a Greek name which Yeshua was never known with in his time. Not to mention that St. Paul has not met with him. Today's Bible will easily win the Guiness world record of book of contradictions with thousands of contradictions. The brutal truth is that today's Christianity and today's Bible cannot stand scrutiny. It's sad.

Muslims have been tolerating all sorts of balderdash in Nigeria. Sunday is a working day in most countries, Israel inclusive but not in Nigeria. Friday that Muslims need less than 30 minutes to observe their prayer becomes an issue to some bigots pretending to be tolerant.

Christianity is not Superior

by Olufemi A., Ph.D

The highest result of Education is Tolerance (Helen Keller, 1903). There is a need to look inward on the matters that dismantle the peaceful coexistence in our society. In a multi ethnic society that share the bond of religion, tolerance is pertinent. Tolerance can never be achieved if one group plays God. If we are to live in peace, we must come to know each other better (Lyndon B Johnson, 1965)

When I lived in the Muslim community of different cultural groups in the North and South of Nigeria, I enjoyed the freedom of existence in my relationship with them.

In the Northern part of Nigeria, they don't entertain jokes especially at the expense of their religion. Religion comes first in everything they do. If you are to live in their community, you must respect their position on religion. So it is in India, where Cows are worshiped. Out of the 29 States in India, 20 states prohibit Cow slaughtering. Slaughtering a Cow for any reason is tantamount to killing their God. Peace connot be kept by force, it can only be kept by understanding (Albert Einstein)

I have spent many years in Academics and I have a bank of experience on how we oppress the Muslims by depriving them their rights.

When I left Obafemi Awolowo University some years ago, there was only one Muslim lecturer in the Faculty of Pharmacy. Out of the Twenty one Lecturers in the Department of Educational Foundation and Counseling, only Dr Sobowale was a Muslim. The Department of Medicine under the Leadership of a Professor who is also the General Overseer of a Church, witnessed an Era where competent Doctors were denied their right of employment because of their Muslim religion. I was sad when I heard that the Small spot on the deck of the Health Sciences building where the Muslim students observe their prayers have been closed whereas classes or any spot in the faculty premises are open to Christian students for fellowship or Devotion without infringement. Christian lecturers have tried in many ways to cancel the Space were the Muslims observe their prayers in the Geology Car park but Professor Ramon of the Geology Department has played a major role in maintaining the spot.

In many occasions, I have intervened in cases were Christian Project Supervisors enforce Christianity on their Project students. They use Christianity as a prerequisite to excellence. I have fought Christian lecturers who deprive some muslim ladies their rights to wear the hijab. These sinful Lecturers never fight against the Catholic Sisters who come to classes, Laboratory, Examination halls and Seminars wearing the Catholic Ragalia or those students who dress like Harlots but their problem is the hijab.

On the 29th day of November, 2021, Dr Awoseemo who served has the Principal of School of Nursing and Midwifery, Obafemi Awolowo University, pressurized the Muslim Nursing students to sign an undertaking stating that they will not use the hijab in the school premises.

On the 5th of February, 2013, According to the Punch News Paper, the Principal of Kadara Junior Grammar School in Lagos State; E. C. Ukpaka, flogged a Muslim student; Aisha Alabi for putting on the hijab. If Ukpaka had beaten the student 5 or 10 strokes, it wouldn't have bothered the public but 43 stokes of cane is harsh and inhumane.

In September 2019, The Premium Times published a news where 30 Professors of the University of Ibadan submitted a petition against the school Authority for scheduling Senate meetings to Friday Prayer times. Some Christian Lecturers also fix Classes to Friday Jumat time.

This is not the right platform to discuss how the Christians in leadership Positions in Universities and Government Parastatals deny the Muslims of Job opportunities, Scholarships, Grants, or Work benefits.

In all my years of work, I have enjoyed working under a Muslim faithful than a Christian Devot. A Faithful Muslim will not deny you a job opportunity because of your faith. He will not beat a Christian Nun because of her Regalia. He will not stop you from morning devotions or force you to join him while he is praying. He will not abuse Jesus Christ or Holy Mary.

Tolerance is the best religion. As Christians, we must stop the oppression and cease to preach hatred towards the Muslims. They are not our enemies. We need to teach our children that Christianity is not Superior to Islam and the Pastor is not Holier than the Imam.

Pinkzebra:


He didn't say steal , he said bring and tell the owner I want to borrow it . He didn't say say bring any donkey he had a particular one in mind and he knows the owner will ask. Do you know how strong the law against stealing was those days ? It was an eye for an eye. So Christ borrowed the colt for his triumphant entry hant and it was returned for he won't ask his disciples to keep them or tie it in his own house . That's what the message means but because it was written in old English and for the fact that you want to make mockery your heart is closed to understanding.

Keep all this gibberish to yourself bro. I was like you BEFORE.

madukaanaya:
you are a fool.do you understand that verse?

Get off my mention, you incurable zombie.

My expectation back then WAS to see or hear anything rational from those hustlers in suits calling themselves pastors but ended in vain. The deeper I checked, the weirder the whole gibberish became. I gave up like millions of others and never have been this happier before.

Not in any way condoning those miscreants but yahoo and thievery started long ago. "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you'll find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say the Lord needs them." Mathew 21:2-3 If this is not thievery/yahoo, I don't know what is.

Which of the gods are you talking about? Don't tell me that one who couldn't save his "only begotten son" from those niggas. LMAO

Many who got to realise the truth were baptised before. The west thankfully is fast abandoning this dogmatic followership. Africa too will be free, opium can't be taken forever.

Most (if not all) of Nigeria's Pastors are simply hustlers in a suit, deceiving some gullible Nigerians. The world has since moved on.
