Very nice thread.

I wonder where Vaxx, Felixomor and kingebukasblog are now.

Maybe they have seen the light and have changed to atheists.

There is only one Light

If religion is so great, why are the most developed countries leaving it? These countries are secular and becoming more and more secular.

So christians, how do you explain this?

Born2Freak:



False.

God said "let there be light", therefore, he himself cannot be light. He has to manufacture light. Just as a sculptor cannot be marble but can produce marble art.

Nigeria is not a zoo.....pls stop painting my father land black......it is we the individual that are turning against the fundamental law of God(love)....



Who religion don EPP?

Religion don help the world as a society....some of the first societies to arise were based solely around a common religion. Without religion, it would have been extremely unlikely for humans to find any cultural common ground. Most early tribal peoples would have driven each other to extinction based on the belief that one group must be superior than the other. Religion provided the belief that humans are under a deity, and therefore equal (In the case of most religions).

Religion don help nigeria greatly...many benefits in our society exist today due to prevalent of religion...it provides a sense of unity for communities and most religions provide charity services at no expense to the state or the tax payer. Churches, Mosques, temple, and other forms of voluntary institutions are simply more able to provide aid to those in need than individuals or governments.
