So if the kettle and the pot are both black, where do we go from there?

Excellent post that was ruined by members of the order of the "illiterati"!!!

Imagine a cwistain telling me that humans did not evolve from worms!!!

I have read many books on Evolution and none of them say that humans came from worms, so only god/dog knows where all these cwistains are getting these imbecilic insinuations from!!!

orisa37:
RELIGION IS A SET OF RATIONAL AND REALISTIC CULTURE, TRADITIONS AND BELIEVES

It is true because you typed it or said it?...

If religion is rational, then why do christians eat grass like goats?

What is rational about being retarded like a ruminant?

They will gladly call themselves the lamb of God whilst their pastor is leading them to the bank to empty their bank accounts.

At home, religious indoctrination is the first form of orientation an African child receives. At a very early and impressionable age, infants are taught to recite meaningless syllables called prayers. Children are brainwashed by parents with various religious and spiritual myths. Their minds are infused with all sorts of religious dogmas. Parents ensure that children are brought up in their faith — the faith of the family and the faith of their parents. Children are taught to believe and follow, and not to question religious teachings even when there is every reason to do so.

African children are brought up to believe them and to swallow them hook, line and sinker. Not to question one’s family religion is seen as virtuous and as a mark of a good child. This religious tradition is upheld and handed down unchallenged from one generation to another in Africa.
The religious brainwashing continues in schools. [/b]Most African colleges are religious indoctrination centers. Western missionaries and Arab jihadists brought formal education (the model widely used today) to the continent. [b]They established schools to win converts and recruit new members, not really to educate Africans. So schools in Africa are covert churches and mosques. [b]Education is faith based.[/b]And this religious tradition is still upheld in most schools across the continent.

If anyone is interested, the video i attached below does a good job of explaining how religion really affects our thinking.

I am happy to take intelligent and intellectually HONEST questions. Ignorant ABUSE will be ignored.

First, our parents are doing the best they know, handing to us that which was handed down to them, and unless you wish to claim our "brainwashed parents" lack experience of the efficacy of what they indoctrinate into us, it most definitely can't be "meaningless syllables". (I'm open to argument about the ignorance of our parents however, some, at least, who did not question, or learn that questioning was how one learned.)

Second. It is not "Western missionaries and Arab jihadists religions" alone that "taught to believe and follow, and not to question religious teachings even when there is every reason to do so", for despite my tribe claiming Ile-Ife was built by the old and the young we have many admonishments upholding the silent obedience of the young, which makes me think it is cultural, since very many civilizations have evolved from that same "believe and follow, and not to question" to, use the senses scientifically to constantly question always, and which they would claim evolved from their "religious brainwashing continues in schools" state.

And finally. Have you got a better alternative to "formal education"? Would you rather people weren't formally educated?

P.s. Haven't read link or watched vid yet. Will.

You are far more intelligent than this.

We humble ourselves and recognise our limitations as humans as we continue to explore our universe.

We dont huff and puff with pride and belittle other peoples cosmology because at the end of the day ours is just as silly sounding as theirs.

Please read the original post and realise that it has no correlation with what your saying. The topic had nothing to do with other’s cosmology so building a straw man to knock down accomplishes nothing.

Lol. Back and forth, back and forth. Round and round we go in circles.....YOU WIN.

I have better things to do. You mind is as closed as the religious bigots that you make mockery of.

""We don't huff and puff with pride and belittle other people's cosmology".............................But tomorrow the same chrsitian will say:


"How can anyone assume that the universe began without a god? Only a fool will say that there is no god."
