RenaissanceGuy: 95 percent of them are witches and wizards. Spiritual vampires and devourers. Just camouflaging that the spiritual realm doesn't exist. One of the greatest things that gives the devil joy is the peoples ignorance of his exitence 4 Likes 1 Share |

Fryx:You brought up the subject of religion in this, not me. Again, it is OK to admit you have no real answers to offer. The several attempts you have so far made at lopping together all beliefs and ideas out there clearly show you don't know what you are talking about. So I am not certain what your goal is at this point. |

Elxandre:Kaching! |

Kobojunkie: Originally. I stated why there are so many beliefs and ideas. And at the end, I said “stick to the beliefs of your fathers, else you can’t be free from their wrath.” Which explains why the guy got repercussions after destroying his family gods. Even the god told them he don’t have any problem with their new found faith. But you said all I spoke is “fables.” And don’t ask me how I came to that conclusion. I was avoiding the probe, that’s why I wrote the “fables.” But that’s the answer you seek. Since you don’t need explanations. If you have read my response with patience, you should have received your answer. It’s not a problem holding on to your beliefs. Humans are powerless without a strong sense of belonging. But when next you wonder why there are so much pain and suffering. When next you wonder why you need to hope on an heaven. Remember you chose individuality over general love and acceptance, and no one will feel rejected without fighting back. And remember Christ never consider an outsider as different, that’s why he can promise you an heaven. Which you can only hoped for because you believe you are different from others. |

Fryx:1. I did not ask you of several beliefs. I simply asked you about the particular belief you are aware of and are versed in - Your cultural and spiritual ideals. 2. The very reason why I asked of yours was so I can ascertain the root/foundation for the particular beliefs you hold. 3. I read most of your response that I could stomach and it was all nothing but gibberish cobbled from ideas pulled from various beliefs most of them baseless since the foundational texts for such beliefs prove them as such. 4. Bullsheet! Why would you wonder about such things when the answers are presented in the text that you pretend to quote from? No be brain damage be that kain wondering? |

Kobojunkie:The imagined future is usually mostly accurate. Which such high accuracy, that should be an extraordinary and paranormal feature that points towards spiritualness. Most people dreamt of a future event that later happened. If you have never had such experience, it shows your ecclesiastical or spiritual growth is substandard. |

IamSainted:Most people? Interesting claim! Every time I read some of the claims you make here, I am immediately reminded of the infinite monkey theorem The infinite monkey theorem states that if you let a monkey hit the keys of a typewriter at random an infinite amount of times, eventually the monkey will type out the entire works of Shakespeare. |

Kobojunkie: Well, the basis of my belief is the existence of humans. And the love I have for others. Because when my neighbor hurt me, I try to understand why, and understanding them gives me more knowledge about them. And it gives me more knowledge of their believe. That’s why I can confidently dabble into so many beliefs. Including yours. The reference I made in my response to you are the “gibberish” from your scripture. My response have mostly been the scripture you believed in. If you are a Muslim, my reference will be the holy Quran. And if you are an ifa adherent, my response will be the verses of ifa. But my reference have consistently been “Your Bible.” You already know the basis of my belief because the basis of my belief is “You.” Your existence as a soul. But for the sake of the truth, I will elaborate more on why you must wonder about the suffering of others. I will also give you an illustration. This is me, a soul having a twin brother. We are birthed by my mum who happened to be exiled from her community and had to birth us into a wilderness. Here, going by the knowledge she had with her people, she can make fire, and hunt to sustain herself till she gave birth. Her people her hunters, they don’t know how to cultivate plants for foods. And she succeeded with hunting because she got the knowledge from her kinsmen. And her kinsmen got the knowledge because of several years of trial and error. But they worked together to make life easy for themselves. Now, I and my twin have become of age, and since our mum thought us how to hunt and make fire, it is easy for us to simply pick up from her knowledge and continue living. But then, she died. Shortly after she died, I and my brother begin to live in unison because we do t have different beliefs. We simply follow the footsteps of our mum. But then, my brother soon discovered that he can eat plants. And he can cultivate crops and store them for the future so that he don’t need to stress himself whenever he needs food. However, all these are so strange to me and since I am not willing to give up on my past lifestyle, I stated avoiding him. He was pained that he can no longer have my support, but then, he moved on. Developed his crafts and life the rest of his life happy. However, he was lonely until he died because he no longer have me to rely on. I continue with my hard life, and also adapt to living alone and I died. We both died miserable. But if there is someone that have come to me, noticed my misery and tell me, accept your brother as yourself, and I will give you a better life. I will really love the idea of a better life because I so much long for it. But my long grudge against my brother will make it difficult to truly accept him as a part of me. But if only I have learned to work with my brother and encourage him to make more findings (even thigh I don’t have the knowledge to do the findings myself). He would have build a more conducive environment for the both of us, and we would have console each other and will never be lonely. However, he has deviated from what my parent teach me, and I have considered him an outsider. However, I still really need the love, and I will always hope for that love. Hence, I will long for the presence of the person that bring the hope to me. And I will tell my children to hope on the promise of the preacher. But what the preacher told me to do “love your brother” I consider it impossible because it is not really what I want. Enough of that. Let me give you a present day illustration. We are in a country of diverse religion, a country of diverse tribe. But me and you will agree that what is killing us is our religious differences and tribalism. We’ve got a lot of leaders, but they ended up amassing wealth for themselves because they feel they and their families are different from us, and should have more privilege than us. If they truly love us, they will think of us first. But because like you, they also have their own belief that is different from yours, they will continue to favour themselves and neglect you. And if you reach there, you will do the same. You are the chosen of Christ, a people called for his greatness. That’s why you are chosen to lead, and others must bow to you. And that’s how the pain will continue. But if only we learn to understand that we are all the same. And the pain we inflict on others today, we will go through it in the future. Then, we would have worked together to build a paradise. We really wouldn’t hope for a paradise after death. Once again, as Christy taught you, I am repeating - Love your neighbor as your self. This is the only true commandments. Again, the kingdom heaven is right here within you. (It is there in the scripture) What that passage means is that the kingdom of God is you. Christ has given you a teaching, which if only you adhere to, you will never wish to leave this present earth. Because Christ teaches you of another realm where all that exist is love. And if you have adhered to this teaching, you will surely find yourself in that realm. The kingdom of god is here among you because if you truly find love, you will live in the kingdom of your father. If you truly love your neighbor, and they love you back, you will already be living in the kingdom that Christ promised, and once you die, you will find yourself in the presence of love. I don’t care if you understand me or not. But above all, I want you to know that if you build on loving your neighbor as yourself, you will truly experience a new type of existence. And the kingdom that Christ teaches is within your reach. |

Acidosis:Exactly. You hit the nail on its head. Life alone is an example of spiritualness. The major reason life can't be created by any scientist. And the reason death is still ineluctable. The universe and the laws that regulate it, also point to that. Dreams have prophetic meaning and aura. That also is spiritual. 2 Likes |

albreezy4eva:Evolution is nonsense. A sham belief with no meaningful purpose. The big bang is too fallaciously ridiculous to be believed. The complexity of life and the constant and unchanging laws of nature made evolution rubbishy. Life begets life. Life can't start from nothingness. Lack of fossiliferous evidence is the nail on the coffin of evolution. The workings of your brain only? How about the accurate prophecy of future events - in dreams - that came to pass? Like promotion, loss, breakthrough, death, clear revelations that are too apparent. |

Hisimperialmaje: This head swelling must be real. A colleague of mine some years ago who loved chasing anything in skirts was walking back to his base at night in company of a friend. They saw a lady walking alone that night on the same lonely path and decided to try to chase her but she never responded. When they tried touching her to get her attention she turned and faced them and according to him his head and that of his colleague started swelling right there and then no one told them to flee for their lives. Another good friend and colleague of mine who was a tanker driver told me in confidence that he once carried a fiend thinking he was carrying a girl to a hotel. The fiend actually pretended to be stranded at night when he stopped to pick her up. He suggested they go to a hotel and spend the night so they could continue the next day on their journey. That fateful night he tried cajoling the lady for sex but she refused but he wanted to force his way when suddenly her eyes turned blood red. He jumped and tried rushing at the door but the door he locked refused opening. He now started pleading and the lady had mercy on him and told him that had he not been a man with a good heart she would have killed him. The next day the lady got up and left the room while he dashed after her to the reception where she just vanished into thin air. he asked the receptionist about the lady that just left the hotel and he was told that the hotel door had not been opened and no one had left since morning. I also have my personal experience which I had never related to any living soul. Whether you believe it or not there is a world you cannot see. That is the real world where matters that have to do with this material world are decided. Even the whites some of us sheepishly follow know this but would want us to believe it doesn't exist. The world is deep people, very very deep. 2 Likes 1 Share |

They did so with best intents to protect and preserve their lives properties and children and lineage. Those were the only way they connect to the divine.

blueAgent: If you throw a coin inside an ocean, it would find a perfect resting spot under the ocean without your help. It has to be that way because it can't possibly be in another way. The real God (not the bible or Koran God) doesn't interfere with nature but works with it. |

Kobojunkie:When you get to kano let me know so i can direct you. Why don't you ask me for the name of the contractor the company name and their family name and their village phone numbers email and watsapp and the dates they did the Sacrifice and the items they used too so that your evidence will be complete. These are people who understood the times. And who understand how nature works if you like keep wallowing in Ignorance. Even when god Rebuked Ahab for Apostasy, he did Acknowledge the god of Ekron.

Re: What Happened That Made You Believe Spiritual Is Real by mekus15: 10:13am On Dec 04, 2023 |
Let's look at it from a philosophical point of view. Is the mind a material or a spiritual reality? It is true the mind needs the brain to function properly, but can we say the mind and the brain are exactly one and the same thing? When we store up information in our mind, are they stored up as material or immaterial substances? If our brain were to be scanned, would we see those images we stored in our minds? 1 Like 1 Share |

blueAgent: Of course, you have to be conscious first to have reason or logic. Consciousness is a default just like throwing the coin under the ocean would find it's perfect resting spot by default. You should instead dedicate your time to finding out what's consciousness and it's manifestations instead of useless religions. |

blueAgent: Consciousness is a DEFAULT for life even on planets without us, in fact, things like fire is conscious of itself as fire. Water is conscious of itself as water. Air is conscious of itself as air. ETC. They become aware of each other when you pour that water on fire. |

Emyogalanya:Stop telling tales brandishing your ignorance abeg and answer the question. Sacrifice to whom? one of their many Indian gods or to local gods in the State of Kano, which? Please, name the particular god and location of the sacrifice so we can investigate for ourselves. If you can add the name of the textile mill(assuming the ritual was in connection to the textile mill you worked at), that would also be helpful here since we are looking for evidence of the many spurious claims made. |
