Your life was making sense until you decided to take God out of it.

Yes, you are right. It was making sense until I took God out of it. You know what? It is even making more sense now.

Now I ask you: have you paid tithe this month? If you haven't, life is going to be tight for you o!

You have tried but one thing is certain that no matter how careful you are you will have something to say had I know. When MMM started those that started with them where getting some cash but hose that called it nothing begin to have interest but at that moment they were caught up.
Bottom line is let you trophies out stand you defeat

You got it spot on. People will always make mistakes, miss opportunities and chances and many other stuffs because that is human nature. Honestly this life is vanity, and personaly I think, real true meaning of life is finding God.
Finding God will make the difference in your life, cause He will guide you through life, give you wisdom and in the end of your life after all said and done, He will receive your soul to glory above.


And like you quoted with God, your trophy will out stand your defeat.

Opinionated:


1. Marrying the wrong person

When you’re young, check your motives for marrying. Don’t marry to copy your peers, or for social standing or out of pressure. Marry for love and companionship, marry the right person, marry your best friend. For if you marry the wrong person or for the wrong reasons, you will have to put up with that person the rest of your life. Things might get worse between you two; then depression, physical abuse, affairs, pain, shame, court cases, bitterness will define your mid-life years all because you chose the wrong one. Things will get worse when children are involved. Make the right choice of a spouse when you are young.

What If The Person Is From A Different Tribe And Language. And Also Came From A Rich Family Than You. Do You Think The Marriage Will Work? Because, With Time Everything Will Change And I Think Feeding From A Food Prepared From An Outsider And Someone Who Speaks A Language You Dont Understand May Cause Errors In The Future, If You Can Understand What I Mean. Do You Think Is Ok That Way?

Just shut up already! Who are you to determine what makes sense to another person. It's only a fool that says there is no GOD.

That is Africans for you.

In the West, if you want to make sense to the masses in a topic like this, omit politics & religion. These are highly divisive topics.

But in Africa we are still not ready to see that God has given us everything already. We're where we're because we have refused to think for ourselves and use God's/nature's abundant provision judiciously.

Okay. What about a foolish god who says there are no other gods besides him?

A foolish god invented by ancient Jews in the mythologies. Yes, he exists, but only in the minds of hopelessly delusional folks.

Perception they say is opinionated. I know many seasoned writers that still include Godly principles and teachings in their writings. Don't wreck a person's boat if you're not taking a ride.

If a seasoned writer who is a pastor is writing to his congregation, or a population of mostly God believers, he can include God principles. But if you are writing something for the general public, it is best you remove controversial issues like God, politics from what you are writing. You won't understand this until you have written something for a western audience who are critical of everything.

Dear Opinionated,

Such a wonderful writeup and thanks for sharing.

I'd like to contribute concerning the "Godly" side of your writeup.

God is very important in every Humans life, whether we believe it or not, that wouldn't change a thing.
For a person who doesn't believe in the existence of God is truly unlucky and of a shallow mind. A bottle of Coca cola isn't magic, it is manufactured. Humans didn't evolve, we were created. Dynamic in nature, distinct in dialects, culturally coexisting and you still believe there's no God, such person is a complete ignoramus. It would take more than text to explain God's existence, we'd need an open heart void of pride.

I understand you 100, now because you do not believe in the existence of God, you kinda feel it's not necessary for it to be included in a general writeup, that's your perception. He on the other hand is religious and feels there's need to include Godly advice in his general writing; basically the same. The western world you cited before now were over religious than Africans, so different people different perspectives. For me Godliness in everything, that's the base of morals.

do we complain when you and those seasoned writers leave God out of your writings? We only take the ones that will add value to our lives and leave the one that denies God's existence. Moreover, for some of us, belief in God has kept us in check, or a person like would be a dangerous criminal. Learn to tolerate and respect other people's beliefs and opinions just the way you will have them respect yours too...mbok.

Just because you were exposed to a few books and Internet does not mean you should become a mumu.
