Making a mess solves nothing. It's antithesis for efficiency.

J2381:
you know Nigerian Christian and Muslims don't really believe in 'live and let live'. Cos if they do, they won't be acting the way do.

J2381:
so you're an idealist. Lol. Evil doesn't always beget evil same way good doesn't always beget good.

J2381:
making a mess solves a problem and sends a message.

Beorn:

I'm a Nigerian Christian, and I believe in live and let live, but not all Christians do. A lot of religious people in Nigeria don't believe that mantra, but I do. I believe that with time and enlightment, Christians and Muslims, especially Yoruba Muslims, will be more tolerant than they are now.

KoiceReloaded:

Going by the the rule of thumb, evil indeed begets evil.

J2381:
good lord. Another idealist. Wow.

Beorn:

It's not idealism, it's just common sense.

I was once intolerant as a child, but as an educated and enlightened adult, I'm now more empathic and tolerant.

Before twins were killed, now that tradition has been decimated.

Even developed countries like USA and co were once intolerant towards gays but look at them now.

With TIME and education, religious people will be more more tolerant in future than now. It's all facts.

J2381:
Which practical experience do you speak from?

KoiceReloaded:

Several. If there is one thing I have leant in life, it's the fact that actions have consequences.

J2381:
dude you're really cracking me up. All you posted doesn't really speak about facts, but of personal belief.

If you still believe the USA and co are tolerant of gays, then I'll really believe you really believe racism is dead.

How far and wide have you travelled around Nigeria before you came to the conclusion as regard the bolded?

J2381:
and if there's one thing I've also learnt in this life, is that inaction also have consequences.

Beorn:

I'm not saying ALL Americans are tolerant towards gays or have accepted them fully, but many are tolerant towards them. Gay people are not killed wantonly or jailed in America like it's in Nigeria and other African countries. Gay people are allowed to get married in the likes of USA, UK and others, how many African countries accept that?

Face it, European countries are more tolerant towards gays now than in the 18th century, and the number will keep improving as time goes on.

MJBOLT:

wont happen in a million years

KoiceReloaded:

All the more reason to be wise in your actions or inaction.

Beorn:


So how come I went from an intolerant Christian to a tolerant one? Did it take me 2 million years to achieve that? What of Christians like Falz and Banky W that have defended gays before and are tolerant of them, are they aliens?

J2381:
funny they're tolerant to gays and not blacks. Do people actually go to jail in West for racism?

May be the numbers will rise in the west, but in Nigeria, I seriously doubt it. As long as religious intolerance and religious extremism are weapons, they will continually be used against those who fall prey to it. Simple.

Beorn:

Can you compare the racism in the era of our forefathers to the racism now? For fvck sakes, Blacks once couldn't vote in America but the past president of America is a black man.

Blacks once upon a time were picking cottons as slaves for a living. Those things no longer exist in America. Racism will never be totally eradicated, but it's reduced over the years. This is all facts. Google it.

Tolerance will increase in Nigeria, just not as much as in her European counterparts.

J2381:
that is you. You can't use yourself as a yardstick to compare millions of other Christians in Nigeria.

Beorn:


I'm not alone. There are thousands of us. Tonto Dike's religion is Christianity and she's a good friend with a transgendered man, Bobrisky.

I think I have to say something on the issue of tolerance.

The level of tolerance noticed in man is first, a function of his biological make up or nature and not primarily his religion. Culture, race and the likes may play roles in escalating such tolerance/intolerance traits in a man yet, the level of tolerance can still be traced back to the person's creation.

The level of intolerance in some ethnicity/race is high (e.g. Arabs, Persians, Fulanis/Hausas) while it is relatively low in some {e.g Yorubas, Chinese } that's why you will see that an average person from such race/ethnicity explodes either easily irrespective of their religious affiliations.

In short Man needs a coverup to perpetrate the evils in him. He either use religion as a coverup against a fellow countryman with a different belief or; race/ethnicity against a man from another race who shares his belief.

Most of the atrocities committed using religion as justification are by naturally violent people racially or culturally. They either deliberately twist the teachings of their religion or lack indepth knowledge about the teachings of their religion.

J2381:
thousands of you compared to the millions out there who would kill Bobrisky on sight?

Beside, if you truly consider Tonto Dikey a Christian, then I should tell you, you yourself isn't a Christian.

J2381:
You're using what happened in Europe as a basis for your argument. You should kkow Africa and Europe aren't the same. Not now, not ever.

Please guys I need the name of a certain Jackie Chan movie. In this movie he became the driver of a James bond type secret agent but when the agent got incapacitated or something of the sort he had to step in the agent's shoes and blah blah blah...

I just happened upon the movie one certain day in the long past but couldn't finish through thanks to our electricity company, I liked the movie and made a mental note to download it later but unfortunately I didn't get the title. I wonder if anyone here has seen this movie and can help me with the title I will be grateful.

pryme:
I should have steered clear of this thread till End Game gets to the cinema around here,
Unfortunately my eye picked up a sentence from the endless spoilers that is shoved to our faces here.

Una do well o.
