I'm talking about then not now, for now they have started to lose that which made them great.

OK. Sorry for the misinterpretation.

You are totally correct in the sense that God made America great because the Founding Fathers laid the foundation of the country on "In God We Trust". The country is now engrossed in all sort of turmoil because the nowadays Americans moved away from God.

Having said that, I agree with OPs that "it is better to be an atheist than a NIGERIAN CHRISTIAN or MUSLIM. Most so called Nigerian Christians and Muslims are either just been religious or just following what is in vogue. They do not fear God nor do they follow HIS dictates. The PASTORS and The IMAMS are worst, they see Church and Mosque as a Non-Tax paying business ventures.

The worst part of it is that most Nigerians are simply lazy without any tangible work or business and are just looking for miracles or breakthroughs. And you have the Pastors and Imams preaching and promising the miracles and breakthroughs when you give your everything. The net effect is the poor becomes poorer because he had contributed the little he had to make things happen for him to the Pastors and the Pastors and Imams become mega rich because they are getting a tax-free income.

You can see this scenario all over Nigeria. This very much visible in the Christendom than in the Muslim world.

I imagine the white man threatening to kill other whitemen if they don't worship obatala or oduduwa. Is it possible?

Yet we're killing ourselves because of imported gods. The African Muslims want to wipe off their fellow Africans because of Islam.

What of Christians? Bloody hypocrites! Sinning per second.... They lie, cheat, hate, insult, they think of fornication all the time. They've had the Bible all their lives but they've never read a quarter of it....


It's an insult comparing these baboons to atheists who draw their ethics and code of conduct from humanism. Compare Muslims and Christians to wild animals in the jungle.

even if it was an atheist ruling this country, Nigeria will not be better. its a thing of character, integrity and competence which are lacking in us. so don't blame religion. Christianity says love your neighbour as your self. it doesn't say be corrupt and wicked to your neighbour. so iniquity, greed and selfishness are to blame and not religion.

Let me leave you, because you seem to have a problem with the fact that USA were even more officially religious than Nigeria at the time of their exaltation.

For if not you'd tell me how "in God we trust", "one nation under God", compulsory ten commandments in their schools etc., came about as official observations.


Hence I said they practiced true religion for it was done in the right way, and not like it is currently in Nigeria where the religious don't have the morality or character to back their faith.
"in god we trust" was made the official motto by president eissenhower with the help of the 84th congress..
it was never the original "motto" but rather they believed it was done to show a clear difference between usa and the communist soviet union that tried to eradicate religion totally.it was a way of showing they won't decide on people's believe.
in fact, the original motto was "out of many came one", i can't remember the original latin statement.

Very very true. Most people hide under the pretence of religion to perpetrate evil. You see Choir master having sexual relationship with the choirs and still jumping out on Sunday for praise and worship. One reason while I can never trust any religiously inclined people not even with my iota of business plan or penny. Atheist are always very true, straightforward and realistic.

It's not abuse or misapplication. The Quran says that unbelievers should be killed. The Bible says that disobedient children should be executed.

Both texts are rooted in outmoded, foolish thinking. They have no place in 21st century life.

As for your using America as an example - America's twin pillars are genocide and slave labor, not 'true religion'.
I don't know why people look at America and think it's a model country which the rest of the world should emulate.

They give so much credit to believing and do not endeavour to know. They never consider whether their religious leader believed.

The question is, what was Nigeria like before Christianity? The land called Nigeria today was worse than the shitthole it is today. It was full of backwardness, total illiteracy, poor health structure, darkness etc. Then came Christianity which allows for freedom, things started changing. We started seeing schools owned by missionaries springing up left and right. Hospital with quality medicine etc. People are not angry at those good things, but when it comes to Christianity, they kick with anger.

Is it Christianity that looted your Commonwealth? Is it Christianity that fashions quota system? Is it Christianity that failed to build roads?

America has Christianity there and the country is enjoying. They are enjoying because they at one time put God first. What we ought to say is that we are suffering because we failed to obey God's word and put him first.

Read! read!! read!!! ignorance is the problem of majority of Nigerians, even the so called educated but ignorant ones. Bagging some degree doesn't make you informed or ignorance proof. Knowledge is a continuum, you have to keep reading books to challenge your dogmatic and inherited beliefs. You inherited all the beliefs that shaped you perspectives in life, have you even considered researching to at least validate them? This is the reason it has become so easy for so called religious leaders to enslave you and collect your money to live life of opelence while you remain in poverty. They even put it in your head that you will go to hell if you dare to question how they spend your money. I hope the veil of ignorance is lifted off the eyes of Nigerians, i believe in God but religion has been bastardized in Nigeria.

He is 100% right! Nigerians are religiously st*upid! That's why pastors (conmen) milk them dry financially and sleep with them.

They buy the best cars, buy Jets, buy the best properties, build universities and hospitals most of their dumb followers can't afford!

Only if some people read this book;

How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney... they won't rush to the hasty conclusion that Nigeria was worse off in the pre-colonial era than it is today.

For example, the beauty, glory and advancement of the Bini empire left Dutch explorers dumbfounded in the 1600s...

They wondered how those people were adept at bronze work (of which artifacts which still remain intact in British museums). How these people were so organized and neat!

Ignorant comment. Read about pre-colonial African civilization. Also read about the era before the Renaissance period in Europe. Every part of the world experienced different stages of civilization before becoming what they are. Africa's civilization was abruptly halted. Religion is not Africa's saviour. Don't get it twisted. You can choose to deceive yourself, but please don't deceive others.
