I laugh when I read some guys say "what is holding African youth backward is religion"

the problem of Africa is not religion but leadership. Africa don't even practise religion as much as the Chinese do...


stop looking for excuse for your failure. you can start a revolution of a better Africa but stop your ignoramous foolishness

And somehow the leaders fell from heaven right?

I can bet everything i have, if you changed every single leader in office on the African continent and replaced them, Africa would still be where it is...

I'm so against those who blame their leaders Everytime like the leaders aren't fellow men/women like them.

Unfortunately, the religion is what creates the type of people by defining how they think and reason. Christianity in itself can be good or bad, but currently it is not of the sort that teaches people to be leaders. It rather teaches them to be followers.

Christ himself was a leader and if the Christian were like that, they'd easily shame we atheists, for which one of us could claim Christ is not the Messiah if Christians built factories and hospitals and created jobs and healed people. Who can confidently say God is not responsible for the transformation of a nation as huge as Nigeria? Can anyone confidently truly believe it is the work of one single individual? Would we all not have to carry some cross down the road of Calvary so all may be saved?

But no, they ask the sheep to pay tithes and hope for miracles and the idiots amongst them testify that someone they know told them some pastor woke someone from the dead! Do they not know the difference between bread and stones? Has their brain been removed from inside their heads or something, I often wonder.

If raising the dead were such a grand feat, why are we not in hospitals praising the doctors who perform such feats on a daily basis, or in schools praising those teachers who exorcise the devil of ignorance out of your heads? Why don't they get your tithes? O ye fools, giving unto 'Caesar' what should be given unto the things that are 'holy'!

But, verily verily I say unto thee, the day will come when those who are of 'Christ' will stop seeking God in a bang or at the end of the universe. 'Christ' will rise in your hearts and heads where God breathed him to be when he created you from mere mud. The 'Messiah's' will grab their 'crosses'. The evidence for God will be their works, and not just by some stupid dead faith that produces nought or some crappy belief they share with the devil and call a virtue. They will 'die' for their 'salvation', and for a living God, and not the crappy dead God you want to prove exists with no evidence whatsoever, you will save one another and all will live everlastingly. And the atheists who refuses to see the God living in your very own beings will indeed become the dementes vesanosque. In the mighty name of 'Christ', as is said.

Amen

Until then, slowly though it seems, but surely, a people of power are being built. I see!

Actually I left christianity via listening to hopefulLandlord, hahn, HardMirror, you, Johnydon22 and Richard Dawkins. It was a very informative process that pushed me to think. It got to a point, I couldn't deny the fact that religion was bullshit. Not just religion but other world mysticism like witchcraft, voodoo, charms, traditional woowoo etc. were bullshit.

Nollywood is a reflection of how we see things generally as a society. You can't give what you don't have.

I disagree. Nollywood is more of an expression of some people's personal biases than an interpretation of societal facts.

Hymn to Atum

To Atum, O god who is complete, I offer my praise.
O self-engendered one, you brought into being
cool-headed Shu and Tefnut of the water-flow,
wise and glorious two, born of your seed alone.
First of gods, first of the Ennead, well honored
in Heliopolis in times long gone, I call to you,
Atum, maker of the world, with all reverence.

So long ago, O Atum, in the time before time,
you sat alone within the Nun, arisen ‎from the waters; all that now is, is of you, O god.
Atum, ancient before existence, great of name, great of might,whose will transcends the primordial calm,
lord you are of all you have created, lord of all
the distant lands, lord of all that lies beneath;
yours is a might unsurpassed, a being undiminished.

Post of my week.

sonofluc1fer:
For if Christians had continued to act like the Christ they claim to believe in, Nigerian Pentecostal Christianity won't be the mediocrity it is today. Noisy. Pompous. Arrogant. Petulant.

Next Sunday, walk into any church. Raise these prayer points. Let all who lie die by fire. Let all who abuse public offices and office of trust be brought down by the Holy Ghost. May the mouths of those who have eaten "government money" seal up. And watch the service end early. They'd rather fight unseen enemies, evil uncles/aunties, and theie village people.

That's all Christian has become - a list of prayer points and tithe.

There are good Christians, who still appreciate the use of intellect and reason. Unfortunately, a vast majority of their brethren consider these Christians 'oversabi, atheist-to-be'. For them, to use the brain is to be carnal, to be in the flesh. Those in the Spirit, simply believe, no questions asked. Doubt or skepticism is not permitted.


But without doubt, I ask, how would you know truth or fact? Without skepticism, how do you tell TRUE from FALSE?


So when you see fellow Christians asking questions about tithes, be thankful for their doubts. Be grateful, for it gives a chance for one to review, and reveal new things. Doubts, when dismissed with reproach and threats, breeds rebellion. Even Christian history tells this story.


But, alas, how much does the average Nigerian know about Christianity? Most even believe Christianity is not a religion. Call me mad.

Timothy 4:1

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.



As for me and my house,


We shall serve the Lord.


Glory to the Ancient of Days

Glory to his lamb Jesus.

To him be glory, honour, power and Dominion now and forever more. Amen.

How atheists invade any thread discussing Christianity
Been thinking about this. Are those threads discussing Christianity? Really?

I sincerely hope Christianity has not become what those people/thread depict it to be. If it is, then it must not only be left to die, it should, and will be killed!

Christ taught a superior way of reasoning than those whom we atheists attack. I assure you that He would make far better mince of us than he did of those of his time.



P.s. Note that we pretty much stayed out of this thread, for some reason.

I'm going to throw it out there that there is nothing particularly so bad about Christianity itself, since it's aim is to make people Christ like. So perhaps it is Christians who are under attack as there is nothing particularly Christ like about the louder ones. Many lack Christ's scepticism, for instance

(I confess that I have met many silent Christ like people.)
