Has Religion Done More Good Or Harm? by ako1tse: 6:54pm On Sep 05, 2017
Unfortunately, it is quite popular to have people, who before marriage will ask that the future be "checked" by going spiritual. If and when this hurdle is scaled, marriage feels like it will go smoothly without further interference until the challenges of marriage set in.
Because some have these worse than others, it is pretty common to have one or both parties looking at spiritual solutions to marital issues. Now, hold on, I have nothing against praying and fasting, I just do not agree to religion++

At this point, you might be thinking religion++ is limited to consulting shamans, IT IS NOT.
Right there in the more popular faiths, you have religion++

Wait, someone asked you to put red candles beneath your pillow and you think all is well?
You are being asked to observe salat in red clothes chanting things you find questionable, that is religion++
"Sprinkle it" - religion++
"bath with it" - religion++
"recite it backwards" - religion++

Now, one can only pray to have life easy but challenges happen. It is easy to stand from a distance and judge but some challenges will really test you and everything you think you believe in.
Having said that, it is really not right to go religion++ without the knowledge or approval of your partner. It doesn't matter if you are a man and think you have the authority, neither does it matter if you think you are a desperate wife and your husband may not agree, this is one issue you NEVER do without the approval of your partner.

First, whatever it is you are looking to religion++ for, will affect your partner directly so you have to carry them along.

Secondly, there are significant risks involved which your partner has a right to know about upfront, you cannot sign them up for something they do not know about especially if it is this controversial.

Now, here's the issue. As controversial as religion++ is, many of us go about it keeping our partners in the dark!

I honestly hope the comments will explain why anyone would want to do this as we all seem to judge from a distance.

Is there a reason that can possibly justify going religion++ without letting your partner know?

What happens if and when you eventually find this out as the partner?

Just imagine the inhumanity if there is no religion.

Consider the wanton murder and unchecked evil that would be perpetrated by mankind

My take on this is that "religion" is not bad on it own,but we humans that practice it.The teachings of religion give 'people' a self conscience where they use as a platform to comunicate to their supernatural being.I think doing good or bad to 'mankind' is rooted from the inborn trait of the man, not the religion.Sadly,man hide under the cloth of 'religion' in order to manupulate the minds of man which many tends to fall for this 'gulibility'.
