Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by peacesamuel94(m): 8:41pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
Something, I've noticed on this section, is that Atheists Agnostics, and other forms of religious critics, omit Nigeria's major problems like corruption, intolerance among ethnic groups, juvenile delinquency and the likes, instead they capitalize on religion as the cause of the backwardness of this country, And my question is how really is religion our problem? |

Corruption is the major reason why things aren't working. E.g infrastructures, basic amenities e.t.c Religion/superstition is the major reason why africa is super backward mentally. E.g thinking, human skull can make you reach or praying to a jweish/arab unknown gods can make you pass exam without studying or cure sickle sell. |

................because never have we heard that a group of "atheists" burnt, killed or harmed anyone for "Not believing" |

There are several factors for the depreciative state of the nation and the world at large; religion being one and those who are passionate about this particular aspect of existence will voice more of their concens, convictions, fascinations and knowledge on this incredibly mind-enslaving phenomenon. ARE YOU A POLYTHEIST? |

Earth2Metahuman: Oga, Before african ancient civilizations were invaded, Africa ruled the world. They had religion then. And they still have it. Religion has nothing to do with being backward. India, China, UAE are all religious more than us. Yet they r moving. Poor Leadership is the reason why we r backward. Not religion. 2 Likes |

Earth2Metahuman: Your assertions are simply based on assumptions, anything, absolutely anything can be practiced wrongly, Christianity for example does not encourage praying without studying, so get your facts right. Religion is not the problem in that case its laziness. 1 Like 1 Share |

felixomor:oga solo Learn to comprehend post before you quote someone, don't just jump like jaguar. Shey bad leadership has nothing to do with corruption I mentioned earlier? Did africa ruled the world with religion or through science and advance weaponry? Is usa ruling the world with religion now? Read, read read don't just jump. While advanced countries are ruling the world with the help of advance science, africans are still somewhere clutching to the idea of dead arab/jewish to come and do eerything for them. Heck they are praying to end bad leadership in africa. And he thinks religion is not the problem. 1 Like |

peacesamuel94:and christianity doesn't also encourage doing the impossible through prayer and faith? Plus who made you the judge of right or wrong way of practising any religion? |

Earth2Metahuman: You are still pulling your talk back. Africa has never been without religion. Religion did not impede their science and technology back then. Thats what I am Telling u. Are we more religious than Israel? Why has Israel's religion not hindered their developement? You are not getting it. You just want to blame religion 2 Likes 1 Share |

felixomor:you are still not getting it. Religion is the reason why africans canyt think straight, bad leadership is why eerything is stangnant.. Go back and read my post and stop contradicting yourself. While africans think religion is the solution to all their problems including bad leadership, israelites don't think so, though they have their religion as secondary, but they took matter into their own hands. Heck, some fulani herdsmen killed some people in enugu, the governor declared 3days fasting, palestine threw bomb to israel killing a child, israel leveled palestine, see the big difference. 3 Likes |

peacesamuel94:but you already said some people are practising it wrong? Or am I missing something? So yours is right and they are wrong. |

Earth2Metahuman: What that governor did is not religion. Its poor Leadership that made him do that. Its misunderstanding responsibility and thats what u r confusing for "religion" If a mad man uses an expensive shirt to clean the floor It doesn't mean the shirt is useless. The man is simply abusing the shirt. Simple U r exchanging "religion" for "abuse of religion". A poor leader will always abuse anything be it power or religion. 1 Like 1 Share |

Earth2Metahuman: Read the post again, You gave an example of a student who believed he could pass by praying without studying, and I said that, it does not conform with the teachings of Christianity, The Christian doctrine admonishes it adherents to study to show themselves approved, So when people see someone like that they erroneously assume, that he is doing so because his religion instructed him to. Which is why I said he is going about it wrongly,,I can't remember mentioning any other religion in my post apart from Christianity. 1 Like |

Earth2Metahuman: There are no contradictions here, the Bible instructed that we have faith. but also advised us not to neglect our responsibilities. so there's no excuse for laziness on the part of Christians. |
