Eee is right about arguing about religion. It is a never ending story.
But my favorite story was when the junior Eagles were in the final of some cup. And they were playing against Argentina. When they asked the Nigerian team how do they expect to play in the final, they said stuff like "God will give us the power", "We will win in Jesus name!" and more stuff like that. When they asked the Argentinian team they said "Well the Nigerian are fast we need to keep them in front of us", "We can't make mistakes or we will lose", etc.... See the difference?
They beat us silly...
My point, like yours, did they win because God wanted them to win and he us to lose? Or did he endow both teams and players with abilities and the gift to use them and they just used them better that day?
There might be 1 million women exactly like Hilary Clinton out there. With all the qualities and intelligence, but she, though hardwork, dilligence and yes ambition, she reached the heights she has reached. And why is her ambition such a bad thing? If a man had her credential we would be singing his praises from the heavens. She is an amazingly accomplished brilliant woman.. And I would be proud to have her as president.....

So I am not the only one who has noticed how it is really the African who loves to use God this and that...Instead of coming up with a good strategy to conquer Argentina, they expected God to come down from the skies and pat them on their shoulders and assure them that all will be well...typical! People may not like Hillary for whatever reason. But at the end of the day, I think what matters the most if some will be honest with themselves are her ideas, her ideals, her vision, her expertise, her competence and last but not least, the content of her character.
u know Hillary go win now.....but damn all the white folks I have met hate Hillary's guts...they all have one reason or the other for not liking her....it is going to be a challenging year....as much as they hate what Bush did, I will not be surprised if they vote for the republicans simply for the fact that they will rather not vote for Hillary.
