Lol...tell them to stop praying lets see if things will turn around please.

EreluY:


Your analogy is fundamentally flawed. The Adam and Eve story is based on unverifiable and unfalsifiable 'truth' claims. Conversely, however, evolutionary biology and scientific knowledge are based on empirically testable, falsifiable and verifiable facts. I still maintain that the problem with the Nigerian education system is that it fails to promote critical thinking and rational autonomy.

EreluY:


The point you seem to be missing is that morality is logically independent of religion. Nigerians are religious yet highly immoral. As I've said before on this website, the most religious countries in the world (Nigeria, Pakistan, etc) are "the most fantastically corrupt"--remember that quote? Conversely, however, the least religious countries in the world (Sweden, Norway, Iceland, etc) are the least corrupt countries. Can you please explain why? Religion is a smokescreen, a mystical fog, a spiritual gin and ultimately the opium of the masses which distorts reality. Wake up and stop being deceived.

and what makes you believe or think that nigeria will be good together or wants to stay together? Maybe the prayer for nigeria to stay together is the wrong one. It has to be with the way things are in nigeria at the moment

maxit2:


Jesus !!!.. this comment is so dumb.

yeni2015:

Can people walk or stay together unless they agree? Nigeria is still together because Nigerians agreed to stay together and that is why we have to pray for unity

The devil truly hails from USA but he partially resides in Nigeria that's why y there is hardship every where. You live in a bleeped up country and still call a well developed country devil residents lwkmd

Foolish mind. Why do we want to erase God in our conscience. I will prefer to die to have this implemented. When you take away godliness from a child then what do u teach the child? I believe, you teach her amy winehouse who died of drug abuse or u teach him tupac shakur and snoop doggy dog. Teach the child tuface and tiwa savage. I repeat i rather die than not teaching my child godliness. At the end of the day, the same govf will judge my child and jail him for crime. Tufiakwa

This is ridiculous (if true). Even in the animal kingdom the newborns are taught the act of survival instinctively by their parents. You either learn and survive or you don't and die. Humans are not any different. So if it's not owk to teach a child religion, why teach them to eat,learn all sorts of abstracts things at school and so on. This guys got to be kidding or something

Children can survive just fine without religious dogma (and good ol' hell threats) injected into their impressionable minds before they can even think for themselves. In fact they'd be better off for it.

Children raised secular don't have to deal with all the cognitive dissonance & confusion that religiously indoctrinated kids are faced with once they start learning about science and philosophy and history. They don't have to be years behind in their education because of the resistance that naturally arises when they're faced with facts that contradict the bible (or Qu'ran or whatever).

I think if more people raised their children to be moral, hardworking, creative and compassionate without religion, we'd have more Mark Zuckerburgs in the world.

Reports have it that a recent United Nations document condemned teaching kids about God saying it’s a violation of their human rights.
The UN Committee report on the rights of children indicated that such things like taking your child to church and schools where they’re forced to partake in Christian meetings is violating their human rights.
The document likened teaching kids Christianity to child labor. As learnt, it was complied by a group of ‘independent experts of high moral character’. Group members representing various countries demanded of the world to rise against laws enforcing daily acts of Christian worship at schools.
To them, such and similar religious enforcement, are capable of hampering on a child’s freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
Although the report was specifically meant to highlight possible ways Britain is violating the UN’s charter on the Rights of the Child, it made inferences to the world at large.
An excerpt from the document said: “the Committee is concerned that pupils are required by law to take part in a daily religious worship. Which is, wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character in publicly funded schools in England and Wales. And, that children do not have the right to withdraw from such worship without parental permission before entering the sixth form.”
With the above, the Committee recommended that “the State party repeal legal provisions for compulsory attendance at collective worship in publicly funded schools and ensure that children can independently exercise the right to withdraw from religious worship at school.”
Already, parents can withdraw their children from collective worship in Britain. The Committee however, wants to hand the kids the right to take decision in this regard themselves. Many have lashed the report asking the compilers to honorably trash it. For instance, Parliament Minister David Burrowes said: “the collective act of worship is not an indoctrination exercise. It is recognizing and respecting the Christian heritage of the country and giving people an opportunity to reflect before the beginning of the day.”
Among other things, the document demanded of the British government to crush domestic abuse and protect kids from being spanked by their parents.

[size=18pt]Where are all the children who were taught godliness in Nigerian schools in the 40s, 50s, 60, 70s, 80s, 90s. What have they done that makes Nigeria a godly country today? Do you get the point that morality is logically independent of religion.[/size]

@EreluY it baffles me to know that in these modern age you still believe in the the tradition of men taught as doctrines and from your point of view critical thinking and reason will do humans lot of good in eliminating the problems the world is facing at large. That deep thinking help man to create weapons for mass destruction that will ruin the earth times over and your hope is based on that. Since the United nations stands for peace and security what peace have they given to the world. I rather believe in love your neighbours as yourself that is a statement coined not by man's deep thinking but by the sovereign ruler of the universe the same person that gave children as gifts to the parents. Every good gift comes from God(children) don't know how well you appreciate such gift if not by bringing them up in mental regulations of the giver of the gifts.

@ Erelu Y get these straight....... If morality is independent of religion then who taught us killing a fellow human being is wrong since Cain felt it was not his duty to be his brothers keeper.
