This is how a pastor was carried on a chair by his church members during a deliverance session. According to the Facebook user who shared this, this happened yesterday while the pastor was praying during church service.

Christian faith is almost two thousand years old.
It was designed as a tool of persuasion.
Most people two thousand years ago were illiterate and ignorant. Faith served to make common folks obedient to the instructions and teachings of the religious leaders who were generally literate and educated.

So faith has that social organizing power.

Over the last two thousand years, literacy, education and access to information and knowledge has become commonplace. This sharply undermines the need to be blindly obedient to the educated big shots who would tell us all what to do. Many of the big shots show us that they are the ones who are actually in need of education and moral guidance.

Also, over the last two thousand years, people have become logical, knowledgeable and skeptical enough that the tool itself, the blind faith is being widely viewed with a critical eye. The superstitions that go along with religious faith are being seen as naive, foolish and unsuitable for belief by modern people.

And so, the ancient social benefits of faith dwindle as the harm that superstition does to society becomes more apparent.

This is what's behind the decline in religions in the industrialized world, and the decline is happening here right before our eyes in Nigeria


as for the guy above me, I've got no business with you

Am sorry, but do you understand yourself ? Because you failed woefully to make yourself understood. You were going round in circles and contradicting your points.

In addition, according to your opening paragragh, christianity is less than two years' old. Later in subsequent paragraphs, it became more that two years' old. Huh ?

Brainwashed kwa?

These ones don't have brain again!
