These are the few harmful and negative effect of Christianity in the society
1. The discouragement of rational, critical thought.
2. Vilification of homosexuality, resulting in discrimination, parents disowning their children, murder, and suicide.
3. Women treated like second-class citizens based on religious teachings.
4. Children growing up to hate and fear science and scientists, because science disproves their parents’ religion – leading to appalling scientific illiteracy.
5. Tens of thousands tortured and killed as witches (a practice which still continues today).
6. People aren’t making the most of this life because of their belief in an afterlife.
7. People dying because they believe their faith makes them immune to snake venom, or other lethal aspects of reality.
8. People dying – and letting their children die – because their religion forbids accepting medical help.
9. People choked, starved, poisoned, or beaten to death during exorcisms.
10. Genital mutilation of babies endorsed by religious texts.
11. Psychological and physiological conditions blamed on demons, preventing believers from seeking medical care for themselves and their children.
12. People disowning family members for leaving their religion.
13. Friendships and romances severed or never started over religious differences.
14. “Abstinence-only” sex education, resulting in five times the amount sexually transmitted diseases and teenage pregnancies – often leading to ill-fated “emergency” marriages.
15. Women having septic abortions—or being forced to have unwanted children they resent—because religious organizations have gotten laws passed making abortion illegal or inaccessible.
16. Censorship (often destructive) of speech, art, books, music, films, poetry, songs and, if possible, thought.
17. The demonization of other religions, e.g. Christianity demonizing Pagans (“They’re devil-worshipers!”)
18. Children spending the period of their lives when the brain is most receptive to learning new information reading, rereading, and even memorizing religious texts.
19. People who believe the world is about to end neglect their education, are not financially responsible, and in extreme cases take part in mass suicides.
20. Long-term environmental issues ignored because of beliefs that the rapture/apocalypse or something will happen soon, so they don’t matter.
21. Wives told they will be tortured forever if they leave their abusive husbands (and vice versa).
22. Holy wars – followers of different faiths (or even the same faith) killing each other in the name of their (benevolent, loving and merciful) gods.
23. The destruction of great works of art considered to be pornographic/blasphemous, and the persecution of the artists.
24. Slavery condoned by religious texts.
25. Children traumatized by vivid stories of eternal burning and torture to ensure that they’ll be too frightened to even question religion.
26. Terminal patients in constant agony who would end their lives if they didn’t believe it would result in eternal torture.
27. School boards having to spend time and money and resources on the fight to have evolution taught in the schools.
28. Persecution of “heretics”/scientists, like Giordano Bruno (burned at the stake) and Galileo Galilei.
29. Blue laws forcing other businesses to stay closed or limit sales, while churches can generate more revenue.
30. Mayors, senators, and presidents voted into office not because they’re right for the job, but because of their religious beliefs.
31. Abuse of power, authority and trust by religious leaders (for financial gain or sexual abuse of followers and even children).
32. People accepting visual and auditory hallucinations unquestioningly as divine, sometimes with fatal results.
33. Discrimination against atheists, such as laws stating they may not hold public office or testify in court, or in half a dozen countries around the world, laws requiring their execution
34. Missionaries destroying/converting smaller, “heathen” religions and cultures.
35. Hardship compounded by the guilt required to reconcile the idea of a fair god with reality (“why is God punishing me? What have I done wrong? Don’t I have enough faith

You just called yourself an illetrate , I did not , since I am not one of your illetrate friends.

The Muslims that are perpetrating evils in Nigeria are not evil to you .

Is Christianity evil because it does not support gay ? Have you seen gay animals ?

What a disgusting thread.

Of all, I do not support abortion and homosexualism, those two disobey even the laws of nature.

Homosexuality is very disgusting and shouldn't have any religious undertone

see am against all the damn religions , not Christianity alone ,get that clear. and by the way don't play the gay card because u have basically run out of wat to say, for ur info have u heard of animals with both sex's my guesses are no,oh ryt just remembered u re an illiterate. how about u google that out.There are even humans with both genders they are called ham Aphrodite's. Like I said earlier ur talk and perception is baseless as the baseless religions we have.

Not Christianity, but religion in general.

Who is now an illiterate between you and I ?
For your information , it is not HAM APHRODITE 'S but HERMAPHRODITE. You keep calling someone an illiterate , but I doubt if you hold more than a secondary school certificate.

If I may ask ,are you now an hermaphrodite ? Did God create you with both male and female sexes ?

Let us leave the case of gay. Is it not wickedness to kill an unborn child in the name of abortion ? Why do you have to engage in sexual acts when you are not ready and responsible to take care of a child ?

Lastly , you said , you are against all religions . Have you forgotten your first sentence on this thread ?
Let me quote you , " THESE ARE D FEW HARMFUL & NEGATIVE EFFECT(S) OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE SOCIETY .

Who does that statement include other religion?

Stop attacking Christianity and go and live a better life pleasing unto your Creator.

Because of religion no one has been able to really unite Africans in any considerable numbers, and it is also why Africans have not been able to make real progress toward freedom and equality. No more do we have to listen to liars who only wish to rule and control the masses with their made-up stories called religion. Let us Free our minds from the mental enslavement of religion

Yes,
Christianity and other religions are harmful but only christianity in the midst of the harm brings eternal life to as many who believes in christ.

I wish Africans could understand christianity the way White men have understand it, then there will be no harm at all.

But if we continue to mix christianity with the rotten values of African tradition(as practiced by all churches including catholic, winners chapel, RCCG, deeperlife, mfm, etc) we go continue to see anyhow in Africa and God will not deliver us.

Stop lying , that was not a typographical error. How come an illiterate is correcting the litirate ?

Virgin ? How does that fit into this thread ? Well , for your info , I am a married man.

I don't believe you were once a christian.
The truth is, you can be devoted christian and still be a sinner.
You can be a devoted christian and not be born again.
You can be a devoted christian and know nothing about the Bible.
You can be a devoted christian and be on the road to hell.

Did you not read in the Bible that thou shall not kill? Why are you in support of abortion?

There is no sign of Christianity in you. Did you not read what happened to the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible ? I am sure you were never a christian.

You can become anything you like , atheist or satanist, you will face the judgement of God who changes not.

Better repent , I beg you , in Jesus' name.

Where is this joker who says pornographic is a great work of art?
Wonders shall never end.

I'm laughing hard here.

How can u people answer someone who already told u he's a joker?

Imagine his anger against someone was virginity and he thinks it is because of religion.

Ishilove, Enilove. Both names ending in "love". Both monikers are female. Both are religious fundamentalists. Coincidence?



Dear Enilove, your religion of christianity is toxic to the African society. This is something you cannot deny. You can see the damage that prosperity preaching and tithing do in churches today.

Scientific ignorance is another side-effect of christianity. This is why you hate homosexuals and think abortion is immoral. I won't argue much with you. I will only tell you to look at countries where abortion and homosexuality are allowed and compare them to countries where they arent allowed- find out which set of countries are more developed.

Your inferiority knows no bounds.

So you are now blaming the problems of christianity on African tradition? Is christianity not still problematic in Western Countries? The same christianity that has been abandoned by European countries because of its problems?

In a current study of the UK, 53% of people there say that they do not have any religion.

Christianity was responsible for religious wars in Europe in the past. It was also responsible for
-the burning of innocent women accused of being witches
-the abuse of unnecessary power given to religious clergy (child abuse by priests)
-blasphemy laws
-anti-scientific dogmas eg hatred for evolution
-homophobia

etc

Can't you see the letter "m " in a bracket after my nickname? That signifies "male". I have nothing to do with ishilove .

Those foreign countries had been worshipping God more than 1,500 years ago . Their ancestors were Christians and not idol worshippers , that is why they are where they are today.

If not for Christianity , Africa and Nigeria would not be different from the jungle with primitive people ruling and killing innocent people for sacrifices .

African is where it is now because of its idolatry. It was Christianity that brought education to Nigeria and this little development. Instead of us to cry to God to forgive us for all the innocent blood crying against us , we are blaming Christianity that hates evil and leaving Islam that is killing innocent people in the name of jihad.

When our ancestors were worshipping idols what was the development like in Nigeria ?

We are ungrateful generations .
When your leaders are thieves and majority of citizens believe in falsehoods , how is that the problem of Christianity?


IT IS MADNESS THAT MAKES SOME MEN TO BE COPULATING WITH MEN , IT IS MADNESS AND DEMONIC.
ANIMALS OF THE SAME SEX DONT COPULATE.
THIS MEANS THE ANIMALS HAVE DIGNITY AND SENSE OF JUDGEMENT THAN THE USELESS GAYS.
SOMETHING THAT IS IRRITITING AND FILTHY TO THE EARS.

Romans 1:27-29,32 KJV
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; [29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
