Nigeria is one of the most religions nations in the world, yet we are also one of the most corrupt nations of the world. Does this mean that religion breeds corruption?

In my opinion answer is 'No' but religion gives us the opportunity to blame 'fortune' 'Destiny' and 'God's will' for our deeds and misdeeds.

We have decided to take advantage of the fact that we worship a God who loves unconditionally, and forgives his children as long as they repent of their evil ways.

We tend to sin and hope to repent after we have enjoyed all the benefits of sin.

Instead of working hard to make ends meet, we sit and wait for God's miracle so we can give testimonies in church.

We need to take responsibility for our actions for God is watching in 3D.

RELIGION IS CORRUPTION

Religion is part of nigeria's problem. "Its in Gods hands" "Only. God can judge me" "Leave everything to God" "God is in control" "Gods time is the best" When people reason like that you encourage corruption

obadiah777: RELIGION IS CORRUPTION

Can you throw more light on this statement...convince me.

corruption is a function of culture, more than religion.

unless the religion expressly encourages such.

Only if religion mixes with the world will it be corrupt............

JAMES 1 VS 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

This does not mean religion is corruption in totality...It only shows us the kind of religion God requires of us.

Although I agree that there are corrupt ways by which some people take advantage of religion.

Thanks for the quote nevertheless...It is one many preachers will fail to emphasize, and concentrate more on tithing.
