Keep you in check?

Okay let’s assume that the 10 commandments don’t exist.

I’m sure you wouldn’t like anyone to :

Steal your belongings

Sleep with your wife

Kill any of your loved ones

Lie to you

Bear false witness against you


You as a human being with a conscience would you like someone to do that to you? If God said everybody “do as you like” will you not still complain? Oya kill your conscience and do as you like then.


Conscience and morality have nothing to do with religion. A case in point, Nigeria is the most immoral country on earth despite zillions of churches and mosques on every street.

All you can do is cry about religious people that don't affect your existence, you don't believe in God and so what? Must you justify your standpoint by denigrating religious people?

All I can deduce from you people is simply attention seeking and validations, you want us to see you and notice you but no one cares, do you bro and stop behaving like a child that isn't loved at home.

Why are you pained over a op's account of simple observation from his point of view about religion and Christianity. You can counter him with facts or simply ignore his topic. You come across as very bitter and aggressive with your so called Christianity and religion. OP is right after all and I fully expect you to rain insults on me.

Op, Religion like Christianity and Islam in Nigeria has nothing to do with God or morality. It is mostly a cultural thing that people are expected to do and nothing else.

The problem you have is assuming intelligent creatures can think and act in harmony with the same line of thought without spirit forces involved.
So we differ in that i believe that whenever people think alike and act in harmony with the belief there is a spirit force behind it. smiley

Let take the case of the cult guy again.
In his cult group, we find these attributes
1. Harmony.
2. Unity.
3. Trust.
4. A feeling of safety within the group.

Now, since his cult is a bad group, you said it's influenced by dark forces but how can dark forces creates those positive attributes?

According to the spirit teachings, one of the main reasons why light is powerful than darkness is because millions of light beings can come together willingly to achieve a purpose.

But in the dark planes no such unity exist, they may want the same thing but it is hard work to bring them together to work in harmony or unity to achieve their purpose.

In other words, these dark forces don't have those attributes I listed up there hence, they can't induce it in human because you can't give what you don't have.

This shows you don't read to understand only to argue. Any intelligent person will realize that I'm only referring to negative emotions like anger, jealousy and co.

Again, an unintelligent response, do you have to live with a monk to realize that there is something called emotional intelligence?? That a person prone to anger can recondition his brain to produce less of this emotion using emotion regulation skills??

And Hiin don endure answer that na why i dey happy say Tinubu dey show una shege max. The next president go worse pass Tinubu. You na go cry holla, die!
Of course you will be happy at people's suffering nah, sane person dey worship a psychopath and sadist before?? grin

Did I not already say you are mad enough to think that one should have one type of emotion and not its opposing emotion eg one should have love and not hate? Or one should have happiness and not anger?

Lord Buddha will not get angry grin

The Holy Grail of emotional intelligence is realizing that nothing anyone say or do can make you angry, it is your brain's reaction to what was said or done that is creating the anger.

When someone said something and you feel angry, the word (sound wave) is out there and your brain detected it but the anger you feel is not something out there that your brain detects, it is 100% created by your brain due to its reaction to what was said.

Now, you can't always control what people do or say about you but you can always work on your brain's conditioning such that it reacts less and less angrily to things and maybe someday one can reach the high state of perfect equanimity where nothing anyone says or does disturbs ones peace, the ancient Greeks call this state ataraxia.

That's true because supernatural forces are involved but it can only work within a geographical location unlike when the Creator of all things is involved His own worshipers will do better than that because their own will be global! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3 smiley
Wait, which God wan unite us? are we talking about the same God that divides people in the babel and gave them different language because he is scared they want to build tower of babel and come see him?
That story sef no clear, I mean God is scared they will come and see him up in the sky when the universe has no end and expand everytime at light speed and it is believed human can never see the end of the universe.

Do you not err to your own detriment?? If you taste and see as many have throughout history will you not then see that the Lord GOD IS good? "But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them." - 2 Corinthians 4:3-5

Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’? - Isaiah 45:9

"Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand." - Deuteronomy 32:39

"The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works." - Psalm 145:17

you may think so... but does that then make it true, reality? "he who has an ear, let him hear..."

Avoid Worldly Wisdom
"Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” - 1 Corinthians 3:18-19

"But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." - Luke 4:4

Respect for who or what you know nothing about?

You guys often feel Christians are deluded as you continue to deceive yourselves with false reasoning.
Instead of finding out who are Christians?
What assignment were they given?
What should be the result of their work?

Due to laziness you just conclude that any religion claiming Christian are Christians.

Ọmọ when a Christian calls someone "LORD" it means the one referred to as Lord has authority over a multitude of witnesses who are doing the work he assigned to them not that you just wake up and start comparing dead deities to the living God whose witnesses are actively and zealously doing the work He gave them! smiley
