Those countries also have majority white/Asian populations with marginal black populations - is it also safe to assume that being white is what is responsible for peace and not atheism?

You atheists are getting dumber by the minute with these shocking lack of reasoning ability.

striktlymi:

Sir, this argument does not really follow. If we are to go by your thought process then we could say the individual who made the first vehicle is responsible for the accidents on our roads. And really, the way someone choose to manipulate religion and the choice of the individual to agree to be manipulated cannot be blamed on religion. However, the way someone choose to manipulate religion does not have a direct bearing on whether Nigeria would move forward or not if religion was banned.

Redmosquito:
religion was soiled from the beginning. It was just a tool for man to express his inner most desire, women, bloodlust and all.

Redmosquito:
Jesus was the onlz one who taught against death and sexism, at least to the best of my knowledge, he taught against the inherent evils of our nature. If I consider myself a christain, then would it not be logical for me to be a sole follower of solely christ, even the apostles cut out. But then he had to be put together with the torah and boom! All the bloodlust and sexism came back

Redmosquito: @larride, religion as a whole is a way of life.
It seem I am dragging my followers into this thread ooo! I expect bloodshed in less than 2 days. Muhehehehehee

cyrexx:

see this dumbazz, later you will open mouth and say atheists are insulting people. Cant you make your point without generalising and insulting. What kind of christian are you sef.

To address your point: there are many other nations with high ratio of white/asians that are still not peaceful, like afghanistan, egypt, syria, israel, indonesia (those nations are highly religious and they have a high population of whites), so we cannot use white population ratio to arrive conclusion you are postulating. It is only those few nations on earth with the highest percentage population of atheists that are most peaceful. You cant find a nation with such a high population of atheists that is not peaceful and conducive to live. Get that clear and cure your ignorance

I could have have abused your ignorance here but i wont be like you and join you in ad hominien.

larride:

Lol.

Now let's get on topic, I don't think religion is the problem of africa, why would anyone want to ban religion. Is it christainity that says our leaders should be corrupt? Is it islam that makes the people corrupt and guillble? Until we stop thinking backward, until we gain leaders of vision, then we are not going to move forward, look at Gov. Fashola, Gov. Akpabio, irrespectively of their religion, they are moving their state forward, do they ban religion before they would progress? Religion is not our problem but we ourselves.

The bible clearly states that a time shall come when men shall be lovers of themselves, they shall bring on their own teaching and reverse from the teaching of Christ, that's what happening now.

Redmosquito:
Now? I have a little problem with the ermmm.... Never mind! But you speak as if our problems and the problems of the bible and/or religion at that began in our time. Religion, christainity was pushed in the dirt a long time ago, research the dark ages

Mr_Anony:
Can't you reply him without insulting? Later you will claim that atheists are morally impressive.

Lol, of course...Russia and North Korea must be some of the most peaceful conducive countries to live in, No?

And by saying this you just indirectly abused him. It is just like saying "I could have abused your foolishness but I won't call you a fool". Notice what I just did there? (Yes, I did it on purpose so that you can get the point)

larride: Red-Moss

The bible doesn't have a problem. I repeat, religion is not our problem as african. Religion is just a way to link with the supernatural, its our belief and our faith. It has nothing to do with the development of a nation.

cyrexx:
The communist ideology is forced on them and such a means is unethical. I, as well as other atheists i believe, DO NOT support forced ideology imposed on people. People should be free to come to their own conclusion without intimidation and coercion. This forced ideology is what religion and communism is known for.

Enigma: Or maybe we should ban "democracy" since it leads to the election of these our leaders?

No need: once we ban religion, all our leaders will always be the best and world class visionaries.

You keep quoting me but we are saying the same thing. Religion is not responsibility for our woes. Simple as that.

cyrexx:
LOL, i only retaliated to show him his error and give him a taste of his own medicine. Besides, it is fallacious to generalise all atheists as having particular characteristics. We all came from different background and we all exhibit different character. We are freedmen and free thinkers, free from religious shackles.

When will you stop peddling this deliberate ignorance, those nations are communist countries, not secular/atheist nations. They are forced to adopt communism. The communist ideology is forced on them and such a means is unethical. I, as well as other atheists i believe, DO NOT support forced ideology imposed on people. People should be free to come to their own conclusion without intimidation and coercion. This forced ideology is what religion and communism is known for.

LOL, like i said before, i was just showing him how insulting he sounds and give him a taste of his own medicine.

1. NEPA (or PH whatever) is not working: answer --- just ban religion, and NEPA will start working with total efficiency

2. Nigerian Airways is moribund: answer --- just ban religion and . . .

3. There is corruption in the Nigerian Ports Authority: answer --- just ban religion.
Ha oga but wait a minute, why don't we ban politics for this one because it is politics that causes them to appoint useless people as leaders.
Noooooo!!! Just ban religion and everything will be alright!


4. GSM is becoming a joke: answer --- you know what to do; ban religion?

no mind am jare. I was like "she's meant to be quoting me or the atheists not u"

Mr_Anony:
Lolololol, it is so funny how they can't see that in their hatred for religion, they have evolved into the very same intolerant bigotted fanatics that they hope to rid the world of.

Enigma:

Bros, you see am! Some of them have become fundamentalists. If some of them were to become leaders they will match the ayatollahs in the way they enforce atheism as the only acceptable religion. Yet they will come here and talk of "freedom" etc etc.

personaldomest:

It is safe to say you are completely ignorant. But its okay religion has that effect on people. Afterall "religion" is a concept of primitive men.
