AmenRa1:religion especially. Christianity was good until Europe snatched it and began to use it for selfish ends, Rome. used the church to extend her longevity after the caesaren Rome served its time when genseric,Attila,Odoacer ended the Roman empire,criminals in Italy found a way to continue its hold on power and found papal Rome an effective tool and began to rob and enslaving the known ,world,England feeling sidelined by Core Catholic nations like. Italy,Portugal,Spain and France broke away and formed Anglican church until a descendant. of Abraham through Ishmael rose up to checkmate the excesses of the heathens who have bastardized the message of Christ. but when Muhammad died vultures hijacked the movement for selfish ends. |

If the earth is to be healed,then "LOVE" is the main antidote not religion.It's in the "golden rule" that is present in all religion;"do unto others \/\/hat u like others to do to u".The one in judaism is the most interesting one for me.Even jesus greatest commandment to human race is about love and not some ritualistic,devotional practises. 1 Like 1 Share |

I should not forget to tell you that there are differences between a godly man and a religious man. it's sacrosanct and imperative we all know that. Obviously, we've been brain-washed religiously and not godly. It was written in no way that Jesus Christ condemned any form of science or pertaining to it growths. Religions have been hijacked by common people as a mean of survival neglecting the authentic work of the Religion. Science as a growth in humanity; this i believe God fully supported. The only error here is the way we use it and what we use it for. We should know that God loves a godly man and not a religious man. Science and its neighbors have their side effects too. Obviously, we could point out the things happening in a less religious country and in fact lesser in godly manner like US and others. We've forgotten God in our religion and have taken the religions so important as if it created itself. I do say this, being and Atheist or Theist does not change the fact. Your opinions or beliefs doesn't change any fact on God. God never lose, we're the only liable to. Let acknowledge God today in all our doings so that we can see the change we've been waiting for. |

cloudgoddess the humanist atheist who runs from me. Make i book space jare. EDITED cloudgoddess: Judging from the colored, it can be established that you are saying this based on FAITH. Nothing factual, nothing proven, just your thinking and coulds and likelihoods. Okay then, let us all rely on your hope, yeah right. Without religion: Of course you are very aware that i am here to speak about/for CHRISTIANITY, not for all the sorts of religions out there like atheism, budhism, humanism, and so on. i speak with respect to follow Jesus the Christ, living according to how God Almighty expects us to live. So then, Christianity does not teach tribalism. Here it is again, Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Rom 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Anyone who ignores this is either ignorant, or dishonest, or a deceitful hypocrite. Which one are you? 2. Humanity could better understand the world & universe around us. Since the dawn of scientific & empirical thought, religion has been in direct opposition to a vast amount of scientific progress. No honest person can deny this. When Galileo discovered the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around, the church wanted him killed because it contradicted the picture the gospels painted of our place in the world. The same goes for the anti-evolution nonsense that still goes on today. People are actively against the foundational theory uniting all biology, for no other reason than that it contradicts the religion they were taught. Christianity is not in opposition to wisdom and knowledge. We are encouraged to get wisdom and understanding several times. Pro 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Pro 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her. Ecc 7:12 For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. No normal person can say that christianity is in direct opposition to a vast amount of scientific progress, when the vast amount of scientific progress has been done by christians and theists. Think about a man like Newton for instance, without whom we cannot fully discuss scientific progress. Many Drs and Professors are also professing chirsitians. They are in all the Universities both home and abroad. Only someone without exposure or without conscience will conclude or imply that science is filled with unbelievers alone. Please, enlighten me on how Galileo contradicted the picture the gospels painted of our place in the world. Note that christians brought education to many uncivilized places both in the West and in Africa. Till date, many so called churches and christian institutions have schools from Creches to Higher Institutions. What are you saying again? 3. Humanity could understand ourselves better. It is true that humans have innate biological insticts that drive much of our behavior. These insticts, as science continues to find, aren't magical but evolved. They helped our species survive, just like every other animals' insticts help it survive. Rather than helping us understand and best navigate our human instincts (like our emotional reactions & sexuality), religion demonizes and mystifies them. It manufactures a ridiculous amount of shame around simply being human. The late Tim Lahaye's book(i do not remember the name now) is a best seller and a major influence on the study of human behaviour and understanding human behaviour and temperaments better. It has also being more right and proven more practical and reasonable than the option of stargazing and all that Arius nonsense that was the option that so called scientists presented for a long time. Mysticism is not science. The scripture makes us to understand that every human is fearfully and wonderfully made, and it describes the value of ONE soul(person) as being more than all of earth's material wealth. What more importance and priority can be obtained than that? So called scientists(wannabes) of today think that there is no difference between human life and ant life. We've seen nations and organisations leave out God and God's ways for so long, and yet no peace in the world. Despite all the meetings, research, donations and expenditure of the UN, UNESCO, WHO, WorldBank, and all their sister organisations, the world is in more mess than ever before. Christianity does not stop you from getting psychiatric help, actual fact is that most psychiatric help are christian and theist doctors. Learn to separate abuse and misuse from right use. 4. Humanity could be more proactive & prosperous. Rather than relying on prayer, which is essentially talking to yourself, people could be more likely to take action towards solving their problems if religion were not a factor in their lives. Again, we see that the most prospering and forward-moving countries have smaller percentages of people who think religiously. Because their societies are based in reason and evidence-based thinking, they are quicker to find workable solutions to economic, political, health, and other issues. Much of the law in the developed world is based on our current understanding of these issues according to research. NOT religious books, which were written by people 2,000 years ago who were quite ignorant in these areas. This again is foolish, vain and baseless. Atheism or a lack of religion does not help anyway in success. Most successful people believe in some form of God. From the best of footballers, to the Olympic winners, many of whom attribute their victories to some form of God or the other. People are not winning or breaking records due to atheism, so where do you get this unfounded faith that lack of religion makes people successful? Do you think the rich men in Nigerian are atheists. Most of the successful people around are theists, there are more theists succesful and breaking records than atheists. My point again is clear, a lack of religion is not a factor in success. God causes His rain to fall on the unjust and on the just. Anybody that follows the principles of success will likely be a success. Any nation or community that follows the basics of righteousness will be exalted. 5. Humanity could be happier. The biggest reason of all that people give for why people need religion, is that it gives them comfort and hope. When going through a rough time, praying helps people cope. When someone dies, the promise that you'll see them again is soothing. Although I don't deny that religion can serve as an emotional bandaid, or even a vessel for truly healing practices (ex. "giving your troubles up to god" could have the same cognitive effect as "accepting what you can't control and doing your best" ), it is NOT, imo, the only way, let alone the best way, for us to achieve happiness and peace. What does it mean to be happier? Mad people also look happy you know? Demented people and drunk peole also behave happy. Unfortunately, suicide and atheism are close friends, i wonder why. The unbelievers i have met in my life are not happier than me. The unbelievers and the never satisfied atheists here on NL are not the ones to follow. Those ones that get no joy despite their constant wailings and gnashing on teeth every day about God. i have seen and experienced joy in ALL circumstances. So, say no more already. All those so called solutions you are proposing in the PIPELINES which will probably reach the majority poor and less privileged in a vision 2050 or 2100. What happens before then? How to find peace and joy through nurturing social environment and techniques and therapies. This is laughable if it was not a pathetic political promise. i've seen people get peace and joy for free at the feet of Jesus, despite terrible life occurences and challenges. All this grammar you are saying, it is because you are schooling abroad. If you were selling akara to survive and waiting for JAMB to have mercy on your destiny, you would be more real. So, to conclude, I think that humanity could not only survive without organized religion like the Abrahamic faiths, we could thrive. The children who are raised without the religion across the globe, in areas like the Netherlands, Japan, the Czech Republic, and Iceland, yet become healthy, happy, and functioning members of their societies, are evidence of this. At this point I feel like humanity is clutching on to religion like a child to it's stuffed animal. We don't need it anymore, we just think we do. The deaths, the sicknesses, the anger, the pain, the dejection, the betrayal, the depression, the dishonesty, the corruption, the wickedness, the sorrow, the selfishness, the sin, they are all a product of the fallen human race. We need Jesus more than ever. Netherlands, Japan, the Czech Republic will continue to experience these until Jesus comes, no magic there. You don't even need a prophet to say that. EDITED. |

Looking for new ways to hurt each other is what humans do best, religion is just a means, more like a shield, take away religion and humans Will look for other means like politics, skin color, social strata etc as a means, but in all fairness, religion has become a tool for brainwashing and psychological manipulation but taking it away still won't solve anything, imagine a world where everyone is a so called free thinker and what ever you can think of based on your psychological capacity is approved whether morally wrong or right, disastrous! 2 Likes |

@OP While agree that religion is not the way to God, but that doesn't necessarily mean the world would've been a better place without it. Who knows!. Also you said so many things that are way off and I'll point out a few below. Humanity could better understand the world & universe around us. Since the dawn of scientific & empirical thought, religion has been in direct opposition to a vast amount of scientific progress. No honest person can deny this. When Galileo discovered the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around, the church wanted him killed because it contradicted the picture the gospels painted of our place in the world. The same goes for the anti-evolution nonsense that still goes on today. People are actively against the foundational theory uniting all biology, for no other reason than that it contradicts the religion they were taught.. That's not true!. It was the catholic church, not Galileo was against science. The fact that Galileo was both religious and a scientist nulifies any claim that science contradicts whatever he believed. Indeed, Galileo was both a scientist and a philosopher, not necessarily religious, though. In fact, science was invented by people who believed in God, again not necessarily religious people. See Famous Scientists Who Believed in God http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/sciencefaith.html According to surveys, the countries with the lowest populations of religious people have the highest rates of quality education. It's not always accurate to imply causation from correlation, and the relationship might flow both ways, but it's quite obvious that the more religious someone is, the more unwelcoming of science they're likely to be. This's also not true. USA = Christianity. China = Taoism, Confucianism. Japan = Shinto and Buddhism. Israel = Judaism. Germany = Christianity (The current ruling party in Germany is called the Christian Democratic Union of Germany) The reverse case is actually true!. Religious nations are more prosperous. 4. Humanity could be more proactive & prosperous. Rather than relying on prayer, which is essentially talking to yourself, people could be more likely to take action towards solving their problems if religion were not a factor in their lives. Again, we see that the most prospering and forward-moving countries have smaller percentages of people who think religiously. Because their societies are based in reason and evidence-based thinking, they are quicker to find workable solutions to economic, political, health, and other issues. Much of the law in the developed world is based on our current understanding of these issues according to research. NOT religious books, which were written by people 2,000 years ago who were quite ignorant in these areas. As shown above, this's not true. Religion is not the reason for underdevelopment in any country. The reason for poverty is lack of true education. |

sugarban11: Folks just take a while to listen to some of the greatest minds that have ever lived. The last is my favourite “The more I study science, the more I believe in God.” Albert Einstein “The question of whether there exists a Creator and Ruler of the Universe has been answered in the affirmative by some of the highest intellects that have ever existed.” Charles Darwin: the founder of evolutionary biology “This sense of wonder leads most scientists to a Superior Being – der Alte, the Old One, as Einstein affectionately called the Deity – a Superior Intelligence, the Lord of all Creation and Natural Law.” Abdus Salam: winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in electroweak theory. “A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world.” Joseph H. Taylor, Jr., 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics, discovered the first known binary pulsar, and proponent of the Big Bang theory “God [is] the author of the universe, and the free establisher of the laws of motion.” Robert Boyle: the founder of modern chemistry. “The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who – in their grudge against traditional religion as the ‘opium of the masses’ – cannot hear the music of the spheres.” Albert Einstein “God created everything by number, weight and measure.” Sir Isaac Newton “Both religion and science require a belief in God. For believers, God is in the beginning, and for physicists He is at the end of all considerations… To the former He is the foundation, to the latter, the crown of the edifice of every generalized world view.” Max Planck “As we conquer peak after peak we see ... the truth of which is emphasized by every advance in science that ‘Great are the Works of the Lord’.” Sir Joseph J. Thomson, founder of atomic physics. . “The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.” Nikola Tesla “I have looked into most philosophical systems and I have seen that none will work without God.” James Clerk Maxwell "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" Albert Einstein "A little science estranges a man from God; a lot of science brings him back" Albert Einstein, Francis Bacon, Louis Pasteur, Blaise Pascal, Rewin Schrodinger, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Max Planck, Nicolaus Copernicus, René Descartes, Werner Heisenberg 2 Likes 1 Share |

VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION A short time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khomenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people. One response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows: "Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew. If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner."A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube. Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil. If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege. Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate. Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew. Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the “Schick" reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick. "Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram. They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk." Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease. Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts."In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should remain afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio Convulsions and Tuberculosis and be proud to obey the Islamic boycott." Oh, and by the way, don't call for a doctor on your cell phone because the cell phone was invented in Israel by a Jewish engineer. Meanwhile I ask, what medical contributions to the world have the Muslims made?" The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that isONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world's population. They have received the following Nobel Prizes: Literature: 1988 - Najib Mahfooz Peace: 1978 - Mohamed Anwar El-Sadat 1990 - Elias James Corey 1994 - Yaser Arafat: 1999 - Ahmed Zewai Economics: (zero) Physics: (zero) Medicine: 1960 - Peter Brian Medawar 1998 - Ferid Mourad TOTAL: 7 SEVEN The Global Jewish population is approximately 14,000,000; that is FOURTEEN MILLION or about 0.02% of the world's population.

The Jews are NOT promoting brainwashing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non-Muslims. The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people. The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels. Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them. Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all: If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel." Benjamin Netanyahu: General Eisenhower warned us. It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewheredown the road of history some bastard will get up and say thatthis never happened' Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and howeasily each country is giving into it.It is now more than 65 years after the Second World War in Europeended. Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center .NEVER HAPPENED' because... 3 Likes 1 Share |

Respect to Delishpot, 4everGod and Kilo4sure, much respect though you guys have exceeding grace, yes , grace and time to sit and discuss and argue with a monkey. someone who believes his ancestors were monkeys should pls go to Ape planet and leave Nairaland alone, Nairaland is for humans ! An atheist came to court to campaign for a special day for atheists, since all other world religions have their own holidays, so the Judge told him that atheist already have their special day, Ps 14 vs 1 says that April 1st is their day ! |

naijadeyhia: Why bother being good at all? 1. I know what it feels like to be harmed or cheated or lied to, so I empathize with others and try not to harm, cheat, or lie to them. 2. When my empathy is overwhelmed by my own selfishness or greed, I get real human consequences from those around me. 3. Like most people, I want to be liked and respected by those around me, not held in contempt. 4. I don’t want to be looking over my shoulder to see if those I’ve hurt are coming after me. If I treat people well, I can relax. 5. The cooperation and goodwill of those people around me makes my life easier. 6. I have self-respect, which is based in part on how I treat others. 7. I don’t want to be punished for breaking the rules of the society in which I live. 8. I can’t really ask others to behave morally if I don’t behave morally myself. Some reasons are lofty and some are down to earth. Some may also be in the Bible, but they don’t rely on scripture or God they simply make sense. I can figure them out. In fact, moral development experts say most people figure out the ethical principles that make for a moral life not from books or teachers but through their own interactions with others on the playground, on sports teams, in their families, and in other social groups before they’re out of elementary school. These principles don’t guarantee my good behavior, but neither does any religious doctrine. In both cases, whenever a person loses his or her moral sense, plenty of other people and social institutions are willing to straighten that person out. Everyone makes moral decisions large and small a hundred times a day.And when those decisions are made well, everyone benefits. 3 Likes 1 Share |
