I was brought up as a Christian. Practically
heard ‘Jesus’ being shouted in my ear all the
time and was quite religious at the time. The
more I grew older, the more i started to
question RELIGION.


One thing to note though. I am a theist and i
believe there’s a creator of my soul which is
God. Hell, screw the Big Bang Theory. {I view
Atheists on same plane as Theists} I,
however, am opposed to the mediums by which
we connect to God. Most of my questions will
be asked from a Christian’s perspective.The
questions I asked myself goes thus…
Why do I believe In Jesus and not Mohammed
or Sango?


The answer I got at the time was simple. I
believe in Jesus because I was TOLD to believe
in Jesus. It wasn’t my choice. It was what
was put into my head since I was a kid. I
wasn’t supposed to ask if it was a fairy tale
or not. I was just supposed to give my life to
him.


What is the difference between serving God
through Jesus, Mohammed or some other god?
I only got one answer for myself. The beliefs
and methods of worship. However, I found a
hitch. Christians, Muslims and Traditional
worshippers all communicate to God through a
medium which is Jesus, Mohammed, Sango, Ifa
or some other medium. I know Christians
abhor the way pagans worship God through
‘deites’. But because of their faith, they are
blind to the fact that they worship God
through Jesus. Isn’t it same thing as serving
God through a deity? They simply deceive each
other that Jesus is different from other
deites. This is evident in the way Christians
close a prayer with ‘In Jesus name I have
prayed’. Same goes for Muslims and
Traditionalists though not through same
method. Are religious people really blind to
that fact or they just choose to overlook it?
What’s the difference between religious
people {Who realise that fact} and hypocrites?
I once saw in a Nairalander’s signature, ‘Tell
me why you disregard other gods and I’ll tell
you why i disregard yours’ {Not perfectly
quoted though} I asked myself that same
question and couldn’t get an answer. I am
posing that same question to you too.


How do I know the deity I serve God through is
the REAL one?
There are many divisions of Christians. I was
brought up as a Pentecostal Christian. There
are other divisions like Catholics, Anglicans,
White Garments and so on. Let me tell you one
thing though. Pentecostal Christians don’t
believe non-pentecostal Christians or any
other arm of religion serve God right. They
believe they can’t make ‘heaven’. Same goes
for Muslims when it comes to Sunnis and
Shiites. Perhaps no difference with
Traditional worshippers that are divided into
Sango, Obatala and Ifa worshippers. There
are still so many other religions and I asked
myself think serving God as a Pentecostal
Christian is the REAL way to serve God. I still
couldn’t give myself an answer.
If My Parents Really Believe in God and Not
Religion, Why Can’t I Change To Another
Religion Without Opposition From Them?
The above question is self-explanatory. And
this proves that most Thiests inadvertently
serve Religion and not God. If they really
serve God, then you should be able to change
without being met with strong opposition
from family and church members. Just try it
at home. Call your parents and tell them you
want to change religion and see their
reactions.


Why Are Non-Religious Countries More
Successful Than Religious Ones
In Nigeria, walk through any street. You’ll
pass at least two churches there. Even on my
own street alone, there are five churches.
Some religious people view the U.S.A and
other non-religious oriented countries as
‘Sodom and Gomorrah’. Yet, yesterday, naira
dropped to 315 against the dollar. Why can’t
our supposed ‘Israel’ be more successful than
‘Sodom and Gomorrah’?


Is There Really Something called Rapture or
Judgement Day That Will Happen Soon?
Since the 1900s we’ve always been hearing
about the ‘Last Days’ and Judgement Day. The
earth is still standing. True, there might be
an apocalypse but trust me; It won’t come
from a Judgement Day. The Bible spoke about
the ‘Last Days’. ‘ There will be war against
Nations, Pain, Strife,…’ Which particular time
in history has there been no war, pain or
strife? It was even worse in times past.
Very, very bad. Poverty was very rampant
then. And it’s now greatly reduced in these
present times as compared to ages ago. So tell
me; Which particular time is the ‘Last Days’
exactly? Is there even a heaven or hell? If
there is, then it means 99 % of Africans from
the times Jesus died till about the 1900s when
the Europeans arrived and spread Christianity
all went to hell. Are you crazy?
I hear of miracles happening in mosques and
churches. Isn’t that proof that Religion is
real?


These so-called miracles happen in third world
countries. They never happen in developed
countries where every kid has an Iphone to
film it. It’ll never happen in the U.S.A where
scientists rush to the site to prove whether
the miracle was real or not. It”ll only happen
in Nigeria, Brazil or some other developing
country where they know people believe things
without question.

Religion, from my understanding, grew out of man's curiosity as to why and how we are on planet earth. Then the ancients discovered gravity, electromagnetism and the nuclear forces. They also found out that they can manipulate these forces to do whatever they wish. Man's confusion grew as to the origin of these forces. A higher being was invented to be responsible for the powers in the universe and the why and how we are on earth.

Several people rose up with their god or gods to represent the source of these phenomena until the Jews learnt of the God Yahweh from the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. Akhenaten apparently knew how to harness the powers of the universe and formed a religion out of it. Christianity and Islam owe their origin to Moses, Akhenaten's high priest.

Today most developed societies are becoming secularized because instead of promoting growth, religion is impeding it by dragging mankind back to the years of ignorance. Half the biblical miracles have been explained by science including the red sea, wall of Jericho, ark of the covenant, the burning bush and others.

What we know as consciousness is the power of our brain to connect with the electromagnetism in the universe. Most of the magic performed in the world result from gravitational waves. Juju or charms as we know them are the nuclear forces. These forces were created within the first moments of the big bang.

So what is the big bang? What banged? What was there before the big bang? How do we know it happened 13.7 billion years ago?

There is evidence of the big bang.

1. The galaxies are moving apart in astronomical speeds. This means there was a time they were together.

2. The presence of cosmic radiation in the universe.

3. We can still hear and see the noise and video of the big bang when we tune our radio or tv between stations.

4. Light is not static. It travels through space at a certain speed, 670 million miles per hour. Some of the stars we see at night are so far that we are actually seeing how they were millions of years ago. Each time we see our sun we are seeing how it was 8 minutes ago. If anything should happen to the sun we wouldn't know until 8 minutes. So if we can see far back enough into space it's possible to see the big bang happening and through the measurement of the waves calculate the age of the universe.

What we don't know is what banged, why it banged and what was there before it banged. If we can find answers to them we can then read the mind of God.

But it's a matter of time before these questions are answered considering that prior to Galileo gazing at the heavens with his telescope we thought, as the bible erroneously stated, that the earth was the center of the universe.

My point is we have reached a level we cannot cannot rely on religion to find God. Only science can.

(strictly my opinion)
